Trump has just threatened Apple with a 25% tariff on iPhones unless it moves production to the US. The threat comes a week after Trump declared that he’d “had a little problem with Tim Cook” 😬 https://t.co/Hl2O0p9tLY

[umbral heron]

about:support > Graphics tab, what does Compositing says, 2nd line?

[pastel nacelle]

in konsole?

[umbral heron]

In Firefox, in address bar

[pastel nacelle]

webrender

[umbral heron]

So it's okay
Most likely something with https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration, but I'll look into it

[pastel nacelle]

changed pulse audio to 48k

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah just move production, it's easy!

[analog sinew]

just do it

[umbral heron]

Awwe
Bribe from Tim Apple didn't work

[frozen ingot]

they can't raise the retail price of said US made iphones either, trump will accuse them of hostile acts

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle there's a site that test drives over years right?

Like SSD lifespan tests/benchmark

[ashen spindle]

Backblaze

[pale sigil]

Was hoping for one for Sn850x

Wooting X Noctua collab when?

[vapid ruin]

Notua themed case and knob

[rough patrol]

noctua keycaps

would you buy noctua themed keycaps (they probably already exist and i just dont know)

[nimble arch]

I wonder if I can find some walnut coloured key caps somewhere

Maybe not made from wood… even if that would be interesting

[ashen spindle]

#🐸│memes

[leaden kiln]

yeah

[analog sinew]

is that a mpuse with a fan

[leaden kiln]

yeah pulsar made a feinmann with s noctua in it
kinda funny

[unkempt lake]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-defends-rx-9060-xt-8gb-says-majority-of-gamers-have-no-use-for-more-vram

[vapid ruin]

it's fine

[vagrant pagoda]

i meaN

they are right

[vapid ruin]

it's only $50 extra, just like how 7900xtx is just $100 more than 7900xt which also have 4gb vram increase.

[umbral heron]

But calling 8GB version 9060XT too instead of just 9060 is kinda shit though

[vagrant pagoda]

steam survey is like 50%+ 1080p

[unkempt lake]

Problem is then those people try to play something other than esports because they think they bought a good card

If they called it 9060 non xt i'd be fine with it

[vagrant pagoda]

dose it have the same core count?

[unkempt lake]

You can struggle with 8gb at 1080p

In aaa games

[unkempt lake]

Yes and most of the steam survey is made out of random pcs people logged into

It's extremely unreliable

[vagrant pagoda]

what game struggles with 8gb?

well other than ff16

[umbral heron]

AAA slop with RT and DLSS/FSR enabled

[unkempt lake]

Indiana jones, horizon forbidden west, ff16

[tribal dirge]

preloading textures my ass lmao

[unkempt lake]

Just off the top of my head

[tribal dirge]

bro the amount of RAM that these insane textures take up is insane

[ashen spindle]

tlou2, cyberpunk, tomb raider, HUB has multiple videos on it

its not just textures

[umbral heron]

DLSS needs VRAM too

[unkempt lake]

Like the card can handle it its just the framebuffer isn't enough

So ywah no choice but to crank shit down

Ratchet and clank rift apart has particle effects than go above 8gb

[tribal dirge]

not to mention DLAA too if you use it.

[balmy vector]

Dlaa is hungry

[tribal dirge]

but man does DLAA make textures look nice

[unkempt lake]

Framegen too

[tribal dirge]

DLAA with no resolution scaling looks wonderful

[umbral heron]

I guess $15 RAM die is too much for them

[ashen spindle]

its not related to the features though, even without all of them the vram is still limiting

[tribal dirge]

but man does it really stress out your gpu

[tribal dirge]

yeah, 16gb should be the norm now

[unkempt lake]

I say 12gb on 60 series would be fine

[ashen spindle]

you cant just make arbitrary capacities though

[tribal dirge]

yeah you can get along with 12gb too

[unkempt lake]

I'll say tho talking about laughable

16gb on 80 series

[umbral heron]

1070 8gb - 2016
5060 8gb - 2025
9060 8gb - 2025

[nimble arch]

16GB should really be the mid-range spec now

It's going to be massacre when we get the PS6 and Xbox Series XYSQWERTYUIOP with 32GB of unified memory.

[tribal dirge]

or apple M3 Ultra with 512gb of unified memory

[umbral heron]

But you can't play games on Mac

[tribal dirge]

tbh virtualization on Mac has gotten really good

[unkempt lake]

It has

[tribal dirge]

Parallels runs pretty nicely

[unkempt lake]

You can

[nimble arch]

World of Warcraft

[umbral heron]

Sure
With a subscription

Wouldn't that make Mac a console? You have to pay yearly sub to be able to play

[astral haven]

There are still Apple made native apps that don't work properly on m1...

[tribal dirge]

luckily I dont pay for it, my institution does LMAO

[nimble arch]

I wish FFXIV has M1 native and not the Windows client in a CrossOver wrapper that's also an Intel app

Actual state of it

[tribal dirge]

thats just wrong, all of Apple's own native apps are now all on their Universal platform.

[astral haven]

Maybe, yet the app is still laggy as shit

Laggier than a 10 year older mac

[tribal dirge]

not on my Macbook pro

[astral haven]

You don't even know what app I'm talking about, and probably don't use it either

[tribal dirge]

what Apple app is it?

[astral haven]

You tell me, you said it runs less laggy than a 10 year old Mac on your macbook pro

[umbral heron]

I just know that compilation on Mac is ass
And I had to make CI/CD just for it

[tribal dirge]

it was pretty bad yeah

because on older versions of MacOS it would go line by line

even if the lines are empty

lmaooooo

it was actually so dumb lmao

[umbral heron]

That was... this Wednesday, on M1 with newest macOS
Why can't I just compile on Linux like I can with Windows binaries too

[crimson wigeon]

Because walled garden and you must use the right hardware and software for the job!!!

It's for SECURITY you see

[umbral heron]

I just hope that Tim Apple will run this company to the ground

[tribal dirge]

I'd argue they already are, and have been for the past 4 years

the failure of Apple Intelligence is just the final straw for me

[crimson wigeon]

B-but Apple Silicon so good

[lyric hatch]

It's good because they can afford to buy out the latest nodes first

[tribal dirge]

its also because Apple is TSMC's biggest customer

[unkempt timber]

Wooting, what's really selling it? People modify it. It has great RGB, but it costs €/$200. I want to know more about this wonder.

[frozen ingot]

performance/features sells it

[nimble arch]

It's a good keyboard out of the box

Wooting are relatively niche in the wider peripheral market as well

[unkempt timber]

Explain, what performance? Because I'm between courting two and EVGA Z20

[unkempt timber]

Of course, and what they do is wonderful. But I'm curious about the cost.

[astral haven]

I got a z20 for $60 a few years back and it was awful

[nimble arch]

What about the cost though?

[astral haven]

The walkaway locking of the computer needs to be copied by someone competent

[frozen ingot]

hall effect switches with freely adjustable actuation and reset point lets you activate keys so fast it barely needs pressing down

[unkempt timber]

In my opinion, when something has a high cost, I need to know if it's because it has technology that makes it worthwhile, unlike the rest. Or if it's just hype.

[steady sail]

both tech and hype

for the 2HE

[vagrant pagoda]

hello dose it though?

[frozen ingot]

there's plenty of competing hall effect kbs these days but wooting is leading in firmware/software

[vagrant pagoda]

my dell tablet wakes when you have a hand on the handle

[unkempt timber]

Thanks for your experien

[astral haven]

And with the z20 my computer woke up when I sat down at my desk

No touching anything needed

[unkempt timber]

Hahaha, what do you think of Coolmaster, sk653?

[astral haven]

Idk but I've heard the TTC low profile switches are pretty bad

[unkempt timber]

All this came to me because I want the best RGB setup. I saw SingleRGB and returned my Corsai K55 to Amazon.

And I've realized that keyboards are super complex to choose.

[astral haven]

Idrc about RGB much, but wooting can detect how far down you are pressing a key and have RGB react to that

[frozen ingot]

yeah the rgb has some neat features but generally its probably not the greatest keyboard out there for the rgb alone

[vagrant pagoda]

hello can do it now

[astral haven]

When using a sensor that many devices leave off, and no keyboard currently has

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but hello is a better sensor than on a kb

[astral haven]

The proximity sensor isn't part of normal hello

[vagrant pagoda]

most use the ir camera

[astral haven]

And most folks don't want to buy a separate hello device just to wake uo

[astral haven]

That doesn't grant the ability to wake from sleep

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah if the camera supports it

[astral haven]

Microsoft's docs make zero mention of that, and the surfaces and lenovo devices I deploy don't support it
So [citation needed]

[vagrant pagoda]

my dell has hand based and ir camera based

both work, and the camera uses the windows hello ir setup

as when its enabled the ir led is always on

unless my hand is on the handle, which turns off the ir one

the documentation is horrible

[astral haven]

Yea so that's not what I'm talking about

[vagrant pagoda]

if i walk up to my computer it will wake up

if i walk away, it locks and sleeps

[gusty nexus]

Peak overclocking imo https://youtu.be/z0jQZxH7NgM

[astral haven]

Yes, the z20 does that

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but mine dose it with any keyboard

[astral haven]

OK so what would I plug into my custom PC to use that

[vagrant pagoda]

the hand deection is super neat, as if you use biometric, it will save the biometric until you let go

dell it in webcams

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-webcam-wb7022-4k-uhd/apd/319-bbhp/pc-accessories

has presence detection

[astral haven]

3x the price of the z20

[vagrant pagoda]

its just the one i know has it

doubt its the only one

[astral haven]

How could it possibly be cheaper to buy an entire hello webcam than to build a tof sensor into the keyboard

[vagrant pagoda]

i belive all hello cams do it now in 11 even if they dont have a dedicated sensor, but the ones with sensors work better

but also, why have it part of the keyboard, and not a monitor/camera that actually faces you

[astral haven]

Because the monitor can be any distance away, where the keyboard must always be within arms reach

[unkempt timber]

Being a custom keyboard, can the keyboard case be changed?

I'm going to buy the Two He

[frozen ingot]

two HE doesn't really have any aftermarket stuff

[unkempt timber]

I know, but doesn't Wooting have a list of suppliers to order custom parts from?

[frozen ingot]

there was a list of cases for the 60he, other than that I haven't looked much further into it

[steady sail]

Not for the 2HE

[unkempt timber]

Is this keyboard a failure?

[steady sail]

No its just too expensive to make custom stuff for a full size keyboard

[frozen ingot]

no, but fullsize isn't really a popular form factor for modding

[unkempt timber]

I live a lot with numbers, I'm too autistic to adapt to the new times of pocket keyboards.

[steady sail]

Like i dont think that u would love to buy a alu case for 500$

[unkempt timber]

lool

[frozen ingot]

also there's not really any standards on things like key placement/spacing etc on fullsize, every manufacturer sorta follows their own guidelines

[unkempt timber]

How was your first experience adapting to that keyboard?

[steady sail]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-two-he u can request a custom case for it but its gonna be expensive

[unkempt timber]

I use Excel too much, I don't know if it's good to remove the numeric keypad.

[steady sail]

Tbh u can always buy a numpad separately and put wherever u want

And for me it took like a few days

[unkempt timber]

Are they 3D models to give to my suppliers?

[steady sail]

If u want a custom case yes

[bright briar]

#🪛│modding_faqis the best place to look for modding stuff

[frozen ingot]

two HE was my first wooting, but I switched to a 60HE pretty soon afterwards

then 80HE

[unkempt timber]

Oh my goodness, I have to choose between the maximum power of the custom or my comfort. It's going to make me anxious, haha.

[steady sail]

The default case is not bad but its just not moddable

[frozen ingot]

I'd look at an 80HE and a separate numpad tbh, you'll get a much more modern keyboard design/case that feels a lot nicer to type on

there's also a few mod case options

[unkempt timber]

The 80HE is TKL?

[steady sail]

MiniTKL

[bright briar]

you can also get third party cases for the 80he like gt80 cases from kbfans

[frozen ingot]

basically

[unkempt timber]

The big is the 80HE?

[bright briar]

neon genesis 60he is nice🫦

[steady sail]

Yes

[unkempt timber]

Nice

https://tenor.com/view/pout-kiss-blowing-a-kiss-suspense-christian-bale-gif-16931550113965916217

[steady sail]

I love the 60he regardless

But the 80he is much better

[unkempt timber]

And does it work for you to enter the BIOS? I had problems with the Corsair K55.

[steady sail]

Yes flawlessly

[unkempt timber]

Nice

[steady sail]

Tho i most of the time use my mouse to navigate in the bios

[unkempt timber]

And I, but it is to enter that I have it on the F2 or Del key

[steady sail]

Most of the time u have to press one of them

But i do press both all the time xd

[unkempt timber]

too me

hahahah

[sharp badger]

Should fit non-cooler master too https://videocardz.com/newz/cooler-master-unveils-innovative-geforce-rtx-50-coolers-exclusive-to-its-prebuilt-pcs

[dull hollow]

that is one FAT gpu

[sharp badger]

Would be interesting to add some own fans to other GPU makers, like having a waterblock for GPUs but Aircooled

[sharp badger]

https://overclock3d.net/news/cases_cooling/havn-unveils-its-bf-360-case-at-computex/ Kinda got interested in this case with 4x 180mm fans

[sudden imp]

HAVN seems to make some really thought out and interesting cases

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

rotated torrent XD

[sharp badger]

Yup but kinda like it more

[sudden imp]

Noctuas AIO is a real endgame aio

[vagrant pagoda]

top 180 would be dope with a P1

[sharp badger]

Just don't like how the Torrent has the PSU at the top

Yeah for sure

[vagrant pagoda]

i like psu top though

[sharp badger]

Is 2x 140mm fans better than 2x 180mm fans? Thinking like Phanteks new T30-140mm fans

Could probably have 3x 140mm though

[ashen spindle]

doesnt really make a difference, as long as air moves and your case isnt blocking airflow thats the main difference

[sharp badger]

Ok

[ashen spindle]

as long as you dont like idk, put 2 fans on the higher front side so nothing gets moved to the gpu etc.

[inner zinc]

What does this light mean

[ashen spindle]

does anything not work? then nothing

[inner zinc]

The thing I plugged it won’t work

[ashen spindle]

if something doesnt work, read your mobos handbook on what the error lights mean

[inner zinc]

Nvm it was just loading

[dull hollow]

usually next to the leds, there are words representing what the light is for if there isnt look at the motherboards manual

tho i think sometimes it happens when your pc memory trains on bootup

[inner zinc]

This is the first time I’m booting it up if that helps

[dull hollow]

yeah your pc will cycle and train itself

[fair gull]

chatgpt has become surprisingly competnt with simple powershell scripts

eh i tried some more complex stuff and it kept messing up

but splitting it into small scripts and steps seems to be fine

ngl with debugging chatgpts script a couple of times and having to explain it... i could have probably written them faster but id agree that someone unfamiliar with batch/powershell/bash/whatever can prob benefit massively from this

for bash id actually understand this but i personally switched to powershell even on linux

its the more sane and powerful tool imo

param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]$FolderPath
)

# Get all .zip files in the folder (non-recursive)
Get-ChildItem -Path $FolderPath -Filter *.zip | ForEach-Object {
    $zipFile = $_.FullName
    $baseName = $_.BaseName
    $targetDir = Join-Path $FolderPath $baseName

    # Create the target directory
    if (-not (Test-Path $targetDir)) {
        New-Item -Path $targetDir -ItemType Directory | Out-Null
    }

    # Extract the zip
    Expand-Archive -Path $zipFile -DestinationPath $targetDir -Force
    Write-Host "Extracted '$($_.Name)' to '$targetDir'"
}

vs

#!/bin/bash

FOLDER_PATH="$1"

if [[ -z "$FOLDER_PATH" ]]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 /path/to/zips"
    exit 1
fi

shopt -s nullglob
for zipfile in "$FOLDER_PATH"/*.zip; do
    filename=$(basename -- "$zipfile")
    name="${filename%.*}"
    target_dir="$FOLDER_PATH/$name"

    mkdir -p "$target_dir"
    unzip -q "$zipfile" -d "$target_dir"
    echo "Extracted '$filename' to '$target_dir'"
done

i much prefer the more sane syntax powershell uses (especially parameters as they can be autocompleted from the shell with the shell knowing what params exist and types they are)

i do quite a lot in powershell now cause i cant be arsed to use python for smth so simple and if i really wanted to do more complex stuff that powershell cant do id use node instead for the slightly better perf

reminds me i need to rewrite my last 2 shell scripts for server backup and TLSA cert checks into powershell

either way fun experiment to see how far chatgpt has come

[solemn crystal]

anyone know how to fix this by chance? im confused.

[reef patrol]

Currently not working. Not that you'd want to use it in the first place.

[solemn crystal]

i kinda do tho.... cuz it can sync to wallpaper engine

unless theres an alternative

I honestly don't understand people caring much about the ui of a music player. You set it to play your queue and the window dissapears behind other ones for the next few hours.

[crimson wigeon]

I might keep an eye on this one anyway, ncmpcpp replacement and it's written in Rust so probably it works perfect!

[thick elk]

I mostly meant pretty layouts and such

functionality wise definitely have needs

Luckily strawberry meets mine quite nicely.

But something like poweramp on android you cannot even reliably add a artist to your queue

have to click on it and add albums

is kind of weird around clearing it, and such too

[pale sigil]

VMs on a HDD is painful

Same with game servers

[thick elk]

Honestly if I didn't need the storage I would have ditched HDD's from my server altogether

been on a 500gb boot sata ssd for years

[lone dune]

True

[pale sigil]

But that costs more

[thick elk]

For me it's mostly noise when I am not gaming the hdd's are the loudest thing in the room.

[floral copper]

[pale sigil]

I don't really hear them tbh but I know some people are more sensitive to certain sounds.

And it's not right next to me, it's at the other side of my office under my workbench

[thick elk]

It's not too bad I just want even less noise

[lone dune]

Lol looks like that pc is going to over heat

[pale sigil]

I meant if I'm after speed

[pale sigil]

It most definitely doesn't :p

[thick elk]

Also other side of the room for me.

[pale sigil]

It's more the SSD would be for VMs and game stuff

My fans are pretty much always off

If not 5% when it hits 50c

It's a relatively cool CPU and there's no GPU in there to produce heat.

It's not about latency

[thick elk]

Also will add if your pc already has the port, getting a cheap 2.5gbit or even 5gbit switch + card can definitely be worth it. I definitely notice the upgrade transfering between my pc and server.

[pale sigil]

Already done

:p

One of the first things I bought haha

My beautiful mess got the 2.5gb upgrade

[thick elk]

Just did that a couple of weeks ago, was so cheap, use was not that important but still worth it.
Just 2.5g though because 5gbit would require a different network card in my too.

Oh not bad

[magic minnow]

[magic minnow]

This mine I took off the side fan, and moved the top fans more forward

[pale sigil]

Now it has different ram though, 16gb became an issue really fast.

[magic minnow]

The future is now

[thick elk]

Mine, baasically my old cpu + mobo + ram, which already had 32gb of ram

[pale sigil]

Well the original 16gb kit I had spare laying around

It was one of the main savings haha

[thick elk]

and yes the cooler is a mugen 2 but it works

[balmy vector]

I have my spare parts but haven’t used them since i tried doing minecraft servers lol

[thick elk]

Don't mind the hdd hotglue that connector is super dodgy and broke, but glue fixes it.

Stores music / shows / means to obtain them and some other things like octoprint, backups

[pale sigil]

What I would like to do is get new HDDs

But I don't need them yet

Getting there fast though....

[minor citrus]

My raid drives started clicking last summer, thank god the seller had great customer service and refunded me the two discs out of the bundle I bought years ago

[lone dune]

I wish noctua stopped used that color scheme

[thick elk]

As long as you have good backups ssd only seems like a solid bet, reliability wise probably don't need raid either

[pale sigil]

Anything important is backed up in multiple places

But I do want to have a mirror raid

There's also copies of each important stuff on every drive daily.

Eg Immich has copies on every drive and an external server I have.

[thick elk]

Thing with backups is I am scared of the reliabilty, don't check up on my backups nearly enough

The problem is if the process fails the places don't matter

All shell scripts and rsync for me

as I set it up ages ago

no view on failures whatsoever

should modernise that setup though

[magic minnow]

Or just pay google 150$ a month and upload everything to the cloud

[thick elk]

Okay as good a time as any to check up on my backups

Problem is it can fail silently + some errors around certain files are expected

I do create logs though, basicly how mine works:

#!/bin/bash
syncname="somesyncname"
rsyncparms="-vau"
server="someuser@someserver"
basedir="/backup/Desktop/"
logfile="/etc/rsync/$(date +%F)-$syncname.log"

declare -A backupdirs

But if I go down that route, probably redo it in some stuff that has more build in tools for that

also prefer e-mail notifications over just desktop ones

Got a few python scripts I can steal from

just log onto some mail account and use that.

I just don't like push notifications as much. E-mail will just be sitting there until I throw it away.

Well, may needed some looking into for sure, but backups are running

[fair gull]

actually facing an issue with a similar script of mine for server backups. it maxes out the disk speed and makes the MC server have a stroke

idk if i got one ngl

prob not

[thick elk]

I would personally just run the minecraft server of an ssd or something, it's not that big

[fair gull]

its a 2tb pure ssd array

and the mc server is roughly 130gb or so

[thick elk]

Oh, hmm

[fair gull]

also takes the longest to gzip and encrypt lol

[thick elk]

Ah I don't do that

[fair gull]

yeah i do cause gcloud target

[thick elk]

Ah I just have some cheap storage vps with a partition I need to decrypt after boot.

Compression when I tried it slowed things down

and most data is not compressable (music / photo's)

[fair gull]

hmmmm wonder if i can just use a local qcow file or such and make an encrypted partition in that and then just copy stuff there

might actually be nicer than what i do now

[thick elk]

Or schedule the backup during a quiet time and accept it.

[fair gull]

the issue is the server always crashes

the backup in full takes a good hour or 2

and i dont have quite time cause globally spread friends

[thick elk]

Oh of course full backups

incremental ones take much shorter

[fair gull]

yeah the idea is i do some partial backups of specific configs, the game servers and such but then i do a full FS backup so i could just copy and paste it into a new linux install and it works

sort of

yeah its a bit too late to switch FS

this is a system that has continously been setup for a good 8 or 10yrs now

so im basically stuck with ext4

there is 1 option i wanted to look into which is maybe being able to dump a qcow2 backup via the soap api the host of the root server provides

[thick elk]

Whenever you swap disks is a good time to swap filesystem

you just need the data, you can copy it over under a new filesystem

I did whenever I upgrades, rootfs of my server is still f2fs because it was ages ago I created that, but the hdd's are btrfs now

after zfs was kind of a pain with kernel updates and such

gpl compaitible zfs would have been cool, and probably killed any reason for btfs to exist

[vagrant pagoda]

nah gpl is turbo dicks. linking is not and will never be making derivative work

zfs being so good and NOT being gpl is good, as it forces people to relize had dumb gpl lgpl is

Is it worth it to get the 80HE aluminum case directly or is it very expensive?

[reef patrol]

Which one? The GT80? Bone80?

[unkempt timber]

What is the difference?

[reef patrol]

Honestly I was mostly putting down a trap for "It's called a Zinc Alloy case, because it's made from Zinc, not Alu" 😄

[unkempt timber]

aaa that's right, it's zinc hahaha

[rough patrol]

Zinc case is nice, gt80 is nice and there is an upcoming holy80 that looks nice too

Just get the one that you like most looks wise

[wheat plume]

Why tf is Gnome Tweaks not on Flathub anymore?!

[unkempt timber]

The gt80 is the pct ?

[rough patrol]

its a case from kbdfans

alu case

[unkempt timber]

but is it sold on the official website?

[rough patrol]

do you see it there

its not sold on wootings site

[unkempt timber]

No

[rough patrol]

it is sold on kbdfans official website

[unkempt timber]

Kbdfans is web material keyboard ?

Thanks for your patience, I'm new to the custom world.

[alpine patio]

i suggest deepL over google translate if ur using that

https://kbdfans.com/collections/gt-80 oh damn they have a case for it now

^ this is the link for it nbtw

[unkempt timber]

Thank you for your recommendation

[rough patrol]

oh damn they do

i might just buy the wooting case tho

that one still fits and its nicer

plus i dont need to pay all that shipping

[unkempt timber]

I have noticed that I can buy the 80HE the simple one and when I feel like it I can customize it. What I should know is which switch to buy initially.

[rough patrol]

if you want to buy from the wooting store only, geon raw he or ttc pom. If you are ok buying from somewhere else then owlabs ti he

I am Spanish from Spain, and it is an expression from South America. It is referred to as “guapo”. By the way, does it come with cable or do I have to pay for it separately?

[reef patrol]

A straight USB cable is included with each case.

[unkempt timber]

[frozen ingot]

comes with standard textiled cable

[unkempt timber]

USB 3.0 or C?

[reef patrol]

yes

I'm joining the club of geeks who spend a lot of money on keyboards.

hahahah

[rough osprey]

get zinc for more money spend

[unkempt timber]

You have to be humble

[analog sinew]

i am the most humble person nobody is humbler than me

[fair gull]

i dont know if i wanna let you believe that or shatter that reality you assumed

[sudden imp]

It’s a good amount of money. However he is only starting his journey. Wait till he finds out he hears a frequency he doesn’t like and needs to modify the whole keyboard into a foam sand which.

[fair gull]

and then proceeds to spend 800 bucks just on that

and then the switches could use some touching up, and the caps dont look as cool as some others

suddenly over 1k in

[sudden imp]

Now he needs a whole new keyboard because he has achieved peak keyboarding.

[fair gull]

thats when the self made pcb and keyboard journey starts

first with qmk and then with fully self made firmware

[analog sinew]

yeah it cant be good of you can just buy it after all

[fair gull]

on another note @sonic adder i made some changes to the scheduler from NOOP to mq-deadline (only other option imo and also debian doesnt have anything else) as well as using ionice to set the prio to idle as i dont really care about speed too much given it has 24hrs to finish

so far it seems to have fixed the issue nicely

mc server doesnt even shit its pants anymore about running x billion ticks behind (due to disk wait)

now i just gotta figure out how to properly stream tar into 7z directly

oh no i rsync so stuff doesnt change during compression/encryption but i split it cause tgz seems like a nice compression thats a bit more universal and then 7z just for header and file encryption with a copy mode

but rn i first write the tar file to disk and then write the 7z

i hoped i can somehow combine both

what format comes out of zstd at the end?

also a tgz?

or just a tar zip

hm id have some concerns of how easily thats opened on just any pc

ye the tar was actually mainly for being able to keep attributes and ownership etc

[prisma island]

anyone got a good recommendation for a nice coiled cable (both quality and it needs to be long 1.5m/2m), needs to match my keyboard aswell which is wooting 60he+ with black and white pbt keys

exactly what i also needed

u use oled i assume?

[dull hollow]

[prisma island]

ill check

[dull hollow]

[fair gull]

hmmm

[prisma island]

how has it been for u? i was looking for a 360hz monitor with OLED 4K

but couldnt find a good option

and im scared of bruns

burns

i heard they get like screenburns fast but could be a lie

[dull hollow]

i love my oled, compared to my IPS right next to it, only been a couple of months since ive gotten it

4k is tough, im using the Samsung Odessy G60SD (360hz, 1440p), tho you might wanna go with some other company for better OLED warranty

i got it cause it was cheap

[prisma island]

ah

i really want 4K, since i run most my games on ultra+

and high frame rate

[dull hollow]

well it does happen if you have it set on the same image at the brightest settings

for a long period of time

[steady sail]

if u have the pc for it go for it

[prisma island]

not sure

i have a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and a 5070TI 16GB

but my games run very high, do these components matter for the type of monitor u need to get or something?

[ashen spindle]

yeah your gpu isnt going to get high fps at 4k on most games lol

[prisma island]

has been for all games i play tho

especially the ones that provide generated fps

[dull hollow]

are you running dlss + frame gen?

[prisma island]

yur

[ashen spindle]

yeah no fake frames dont count

[prisma island]

not competitive games tho, but those games dont matter to me quality wise

[prisma island]

sowwy

.<

[ashen spindle]

for one thats not a given to be in any game also frame gen especially is like a placebo it gives you more frames but worsens input latency so the actual benefit you expect from higher frames isnt really there

[crimson wigeon]

Well depends, some value the smoothness more than input latency

[prisma island]

i dont experience input latency in story mode games

which i mostly enjoy AND play with the dlss+ frame gen

[reef patrol]

TonyHE when?

[prisma island]

games that are competitive also run on 360fps (and much higher) but i play CS and Valorant which arent really that GPU heavy

also, those games arent played on ultra+ graphics so yeah

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter 4k resolution alone is the heaviest hit generally, and I'd argue you do notice the input latency because it's still quite a massive increase it just feels different because its not coming from the same viewing experience

[unkempt lake]

I mean a 5070 ti can run games well at 4k but high refresh nah not without compromises

[ashen spindle]

yes that is what I said..

[unkempt lake]

it's fine for controller games because the controls arent as direct as kb/m games

Like playing something like horizon forbidden west with a controller and framegen feels really good

But with kb/m i wouldn't use it

[steady sail]

[unkempt lake]

Where did that voice come from

[steady sail]

yeah she has Immmune Deficiency

[pale sigil]

Well

She goes from a generic vtuber voice to majestic singing.

Her voice is insane

[marsh pewter]

she's apparently doing a concert with bbno$ soon

I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed a second person came to the mic when singing it's so different lol

[pale sigil]

I have no idea who that is

[steady sail]

nope lol she wanted to be a coloratura soprano opera singer

before got diagnosed with CVID

[pale sigil]

Oh fucking hell

https://youtu.be/8zaXsXSd5vw

This is actually cool

[steady sail]

as she needs to be on oxygen support 24/7 thats why she has that high-pitched speaking voice

[pale sigil]

Of course her chest bounces like physics was tuned to 300%

I really don't like vtubers much but im actually genuinely impressed lol

[marsh glade]

Takyon I've got you, don't worry

[magic parcel]

guys whats the difference of me using a display port over normal hdmi?

[ashen spindle]

there is no "normal" both are normal video connectors

they just have different cables and different specs depending on the gpu/monitor

so on some you'd want to use dp or hdmi because it otherwise cant reach the full refresh rate but thats something youd read on the monitor spec page

[magic parcel]

ahhh

thanks thanks

insert heart

[umbral heron]

Big think

KA17 and RPi0 2 have more or less the same size

Time for RPi DAP?

[prisma island]

Would u say its better to use a display port over HDMI ?

I heard stuff about less screen tearing

[steady sail]

if u want higher refresh rate go with DP

[prisma island]

I mean it says 240hz in settings and everywhere so that means i actually havent been on true 240hz?

Since i use an HDMI, yet i have displayport accessibility but just didnt wanna fix it since my screen goes black when i put it in

[ashen spindle]

theres 0 difference if they can do the same spec

if you have issues you can try the other because cable or port could have an issue but assuming all works they are the same result

[prisma island]

I see

[prisma island]

Also, is the Samsung EVO Plus a good option for a PC build?

Benchmarks say the 2TB option is pretty good but idk if theres any other options that are much better

And what difference does a different ssd really make for gaming?

[ashen spindle]

anything thats not listed as having big issues is fine

the sn850x is often a cheap choice that does just as well, just depends how regional pricing looks like at any time

[analog sinew]

nvme is slightly better then sata ssd which is much better than hdd

you wont feel pcie gen4 vs 5 or sth tho

its really not a thing for gaming

unless the devs are hopped on crack and asset swap 20GB every minute

[old marlin]

even then gen 5 would prob be irrelevant tbh

[steady sail]

im still happy with my sata ssd's

[analog sinew]

i'm full m2 now

[steady sail]

[prisma island]

i just

put in my ssd plus

from samsung, but its not detected

is there a reason for that?

[fair gull]

put in where

what device, what slot

[prisma island]

in my PC, in an SSD slot

[fair gull]

there is no such thing as an ssd slot

[prisma island]

fixed

[fair gull]

is it an m.2 slot? or at a sata port

[prisma island]

just needed to initiliaze

[fair gull]

ah well glad it shows up now

[prisma island]

xD

[fair gull]

oh i thought it doesnt show up at all since you said its not detected

[prisma island]

Do you know btw

whether it matters in with slot i put it into

since i have 2, 1 is 1TB but has max 5.000MB reading speed, but the other is 2TB with 7.250MB reading speed. I think i put the first one the 1TB in the m.2 slot and the other in a sata port

does it limit the performance?

[fair gull]

youd need to consult your manual of the motherboard for that

for all i know both can reach the same perf

[halcyon moss]

And you probably won't notice much difference

[fair gull]

very likely yes

[thick elk]

In practice I found that ssd speeds don't really matter much, though for large file copies sustained speeds of the slowest drive could play a role.
Maybe it matters a bit for some games loading but usually bottlenecked elsewhere.

[umbral heron]

It doesn't really matter now how fast SSD is, IOPS matter more

[fair gull]

dont start me on IOPS

btw some linux lover here familiar with systemd-run?

[astral haven]

I probably know less than you, but isn't it a sudo replacement so you use it like sudo?

[crimson wigeon]

No it's for running transient services & scopes, so they can be managed by systemd

Although it can act as a sudo replacement if invoked as run0

[fair gull]

im mainly interested in how to properly get the stdout/stderr from whatever script i throw in there

i tried running my backup script in it but got none of the stdout it should echo to the stdout

[crimson wigeon]

It should be sent to the journal by default, or you can run it with --pty (or -t), or as a scope to get it to your stdout & stderr

[prisma island]

Idk i just noticed my games were starting a bit slower than expected

And i just needed much more storage i was running on 1 tb now i got 3tb in total

[fathom venture]

Does anyone have recommendations for a mouse which is cheap and good( a lightweight gaming mouse basically) but is quite cheap, maybe 50$ or something, I did check out some mouses like atk x1 ultimate

[steady sail]

choose either good or cheap

[fathom venture]

Good and cheap 😋

It’s actually for my nephews birthday, I’m planning to gift him a keyboard and mouse but going for something too expensive or too cheap doesn’t seem right

[steady sail]

i cant help u with that

[fathom venture]

TvT

By good I mean something which isn’t expensive but has good performance

[steady sail]

yeah thats not possible lol

[marsh pewter]

scyrox v8

[fathom venture]

Did check out that one too but it’s a bit small

[fathom venture]

Eh??? There are a lot of mouses which aren’t worth 150 bucks but do the job, no?

[marsh pewter]

do the job and good are different standards

sure you could buy a 10 dollar office mouse and it’ll “do the job”

but if you want modern specs you’re likely gonna have to pay a bit more

[halcyon moss]

Good enough

Ffs, don't be so elitist.

[marsh pewter]

what?

[fathom venture]

No what I meant was it pretty much can do what a 150 dollar mouse can do, sorry English isn’t my first language

[halcyon moss]

Just say what decent noise is out there for about 50 bucks. Those do exist

[marsh pewter]

depends on what specs you’re looking at, but yes there are certainly cheaper mice with comparable performance

[halcyon moss]

And probably aren't much worse that the best of the best

[fathom venture]

I currently use a viper v3 pro so I was looking at mouses with similar shape and similar specs then came across atk x1 ultimate

[marsh pewter]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1b5kpl2/what_is_the_best_budget_gaming_mouse/

I’d look at some of the options there

[fathom venture]

The mouses mentioned on here are quite small for him

How’s the mchose 68 he?

[solemn crystal]

Anyone know if it voids the warranty if i switch out the keycaps on my wooting 80he

[halcyon moss]

It would not

[solemn crystal]

Alright

Im wondering if i should return my 80he and get a 60he

I like the case and the light bar lol

Its just third party cases for it are too expensive

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/CJXp3UYj50Q?si=8zpL-dLW25KQGs10

[solemn crystal]

Is the wooting 60he usable outside of gaming, like for blender or smthn that needs function keys

[zenith silo]

Yeah?

Just need to familiarize yourself with your fn layers

[solemn crystal]

how would i use alt f4 ww/ iot

w/ it*

for example

[halcyon moss]

You can, but, IMHO function over form

[solemn crystal]

whats imho function

[halcyon moss]

A keyboard is a tool after all

[solemn crystal]

true

rn i have the 80he but i was wondering if its worthj sacrificing the light bar and other keys for it

like w/ how the return policy works

[halcyon moss]

I for one would be really annoyed by not having f keys and page up etc

[solemn crystal]

i dont use any of the other keys

[halcyon moss]

And arrow keys..

[solemn crystal]

the print key is ctrl p,

the prt sc is basically shift win s

i dont use those keys alot tbh its ejust the function keys for me tbh

like what if i need to enter the bios or smthn that requires the function key

[sudden imp]

Not suprised

[dull hollow]

fn alt 4

[dull hollow]

you can use delete to enter bios too (alt backspace)

theres an FN layer that tells you where anything else

i need help why is my internet speed 500 - 550mbps on other devices but on this pc its 50 mbps - 70 mbps

[ashen spindle]

wifi?

[reef patrol]

Wifi or a REALLY bad cable 😄

[ashen spindle]

nah if its cable its probably set to something stupid low on the connector

[swift stirrup]

yeah

[ashen spindle]

use a cable then

[swift stirrup]

i cant do ethernet

[reef patrol]

Old WiFi standard and/or really and signal.

[swift stirrup]

but on my phone its around 500 mbps

[ashen spindle]

too far away, pc wifi too old, you didnt plug in the antennas needed, its limited on the pc, any of that likely

or its on the wrong network I guess

if you cant use a cable I assume its not close to the router

if none of the other reasons are why, could maybe use powerline

[swift stirrup]

its like 50 ft away

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats quite far

[swift stirrup]

i still get good signals on my phone though

when standing even farther

[ashen spindle]

what about the other things I listed

[swift stirrup]

antennas for what

and what limited on pc

[ashen spindle]

usually you have something like this to have good wifi signal

[swift stirrup]

i dont have anything like that on my pc

[ashen spindle]

if you just have these things the signal is much harder to pick up

[swift stirrup]

yeah i have 2 golden things like that

[ashen spindle]

yeah find the antennas that belong on it

[swift stirrup]

search my motherboard name for some?

[ashen spindle]

search the box the board was in

[swift stirrup]

ok

[unkempt lake]

if you have no antennas thats why

they came with the motherboard

you need to screw in the antenna lol

[swift stirrup]

oh it was my first pc so i knew i had to of missed something

[unkempt lake]

if you threw it away you can buy a replacement on amazon

[exotic plinth]

Why it looks like msi motherboard

[ashen spindle]

idk because it probably is one?

its just a random google picture

[exotic plinth]

I didnt see those motherboard shields in long time, are they still a thing

[ashen spindle]

idk again its a google pic

[swift stirrup]

yep i found antennas in my motherboard box

thanks

[marsh flume]

i just bought a wooting 60he but i got a email saying my order was canceled but i checked the app and it said my order was still there and im confused if im getting my order still or not or if i gotta buy it again

[reef patrol]

Read the email.

[marsh flume]

It said that A third party system determined that my order has a high risk of being fraudulent.
This is not an accusation that your purchase is fraudulent. Instead, it means that the risk of potential fraud is too high. The characteristics of every order we receive are measured, and a risk score is calculated. Above a certain threshold, orders are automatically rejected.

but idk what i did for it to be fraud or wtv

[ashen spindle]

that says why, im pretty sure the rest of the email says more about what you can do

[marsh flume]

yea it said i can buy a new one

but like the only thing im stuck on is that my order is still there shouldnt it be gone if it was canceled?

[marsh flume]

Ohhh okay then

so I have to a buy new one correct?

[pearl fossil]

why does my wooting disconnect reconnect and then disconnect completely. Can’t connect it even tho I unplug it and replug it

[somber coral]

slam it on the table until it works

worked with mine

[digital cliff]

which product is "my wooting"

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/-v5vCLLsqbA

[reef patrol]

It's cancelled. It just hasn't been done yet on the hub.

[grim sand]

Dont mind this

[rain quiver]

Pro R9700 might be the move

If its cheap

[umbral heron]

Hell yeah https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-R9700-PRO

[rain quiver]

I want it for the 32 vram and theyre marketing it for gamers too, in more than one way

But im praying its not hella expensive

[analog sinew]

can we go back to this

[halcyon moss]

It will be

For Ai? 32 is still laughable little

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

If its cheap
what makes you think they add more vram for cheap lmao

like the pro version of the 7900xtx ws around 4000

[halcyon moss]

derp, misread 😄

[rain quiver]

I dont think so cuz its also targeted towards gamers and im sure they know gamers dont wanna spend a shit ton

[rain quiver]

Because this is the only one thats actually marketed towards gamers too

[halcyon moss]

i dont believe it is targeted at gamers?

[halcyon moss]

well then..

[rain quiver]

Also they renamed it from W to R which is radeon and on top of all that theyre making AIB versions of them

They never done that with pro cards cause what datacenter is buying them for shiny aib designs lmao

So thats why im thinking its not gonna be around the same price as W7900

[ashen spindle]

they werent for datacenters anyway

data centers buy instinct cards

just like data centers dony buy quadros either they are workstation cards

and the reason they let AiBs do it is probably because intel did the same

[rain quiver]

Aight changes nothing

Still marketed towards gamers too, thats the point

[ashen spindle]

it means its still not getting priced well, it will at minimum still cost more than a 5090

[rain quiver]

I dont think so but we'll see

[umbral heron]

Radeon Pro was always expensive af

[ashen spindle]

there is nothing to think about they are not going to give away stuff for free

[rain quiver]

But they were never targeted towards gamers, this one is clearly different

[ashen spindle]

intel also lets you use gaming drivers on b60pro and you cant even buy that as a consumer

[umbral heron]

Gamers are ready to pay more than $2k for 5090
Radeon won't be cheap either

[ashen spindle]

you can only buy b60 as part of a full system with 4 or 8 cards and they market it for gaming, doesnt mean they suddenly sold it for cheap lol

[rain quiver]

Are they marketing them for gamers too tho or nah

[ashen spindle]

yes

[halcyon moss]

5090 is faster and same memory..

[rain quiver]

Also the w7900 costs alot more to make than a r9700

[prisma island]

Does any of u have experience with OLED screens

[ashen spindle]

no it doesnt cost a lot more if anything at all, but best case it just means you get it for 3 grand rather than 4 at launch

still above a 5090

[prisma island]

I wanna buy a 360hz monitor but most with a very low ms time and 4K are all OLED

But i heard that oled has screen burns

So idk if its smart to buy one

I dont wanna see stuff burned into my monitor

[umbral heron]

Response time is a marketing talk with OLED anyway
And OLEDs nowadays don't have burn-in problems at all if you refresh them regurarly

[rain quiver]

Yes it does, navi 48 is only 64 cus vs 96 on the old one

[prisma island]

how long would i be able to enioy one without screen burns

[ashen spindle]

the amount of CUs is not the deciding cost factor...

[rain quiver]

Its a big factor

[ashen spindle]

its not a factor at all

[rain quiver]

And its been years since then but has less cus too and marketed towards gamers

All that says its gonna be cheaper

[prisma island]

Hm i just play mostly competitive games but here and there i play high quality story mode games. Do you recommend buying an IPS FHD 360hz then?

[ashen spindle]

the amount of cus means nothing its about what node is used for the die and how much space it takes

[prisma island]

I use it everyday for atleast 2-5 hrs

[ashen spindle]

and at best it means its 50$ cheaper if they use a lot less die space

the raw cost of the chip itself isnt that much

[umbral heron]

Nah, OLED good, just that response time in all OLED displays is great
If you can get OLED then do so, with refreshes it should last you more than 5 years easily

[analog sinew]

if it doesnt have a pornhub logo burned in is it even used

[rain quiver]

You make gpus or what? it defo means something

You'll see when its out

Ill quote you on it

[ashen spindle]

yes please do this is like the 3rd or 4th time you are adamant about something and it turns out very wrong lmao

and you dont need to make gpus to know how to use public info on checking die costs

[rain quiver]

Like what?

Like what?

W7900 was $4000

You'll see

[ashen spindle]

how are CUs related to pricing please explain that logic

[rain quiver]

Nah tell me like what

What was i very wrong about

[ashen spindle]

like the time you didnt believe me when/how the 5080 would be sold and said you'd just stay up because it could be sold at 3am when I explained why its always been at a specific time and it was the same time again

[prisma island]

Im not very experienced, wym refreshes?

[rain quiver]

Yeah idk what youre talking about

[ashen spindle]

clearly

[rain quiver]

And what was i wrong about?

You cant even say that lmao

[umbral heron]

Once in a while monitor will ask you to do a refresh, it'll just blink few times for few seconds to refresh all pixels
If you won't ignore that then OLED will last a long time

[ashen spindle]

??? I literally just wrote what you were wrong about

[rain quiver]

Youre talking about this?

See now youre showing me that youre wrong instead of me, because i didnt say anything i could be wrong about there

I said ima stay up just incase, how does that mean that im "very wrong" 💀 i didnt even make any claims

[ashen spindle]

You mean you didn’t say that nobody will buy amd gpus on launch in that conversation either?

No that’s just the first thing that came to mind

[rain quiver]

Nah focus on this first cause you were talking about me staying up at night lmaoo

And even then its cap 💀

What did i claim there that was very wrong buddy

[ashen spindle]

How about that part where you said nobody would buy amd gpus

[rain quiver]

Yeah nothing compared to nvidia

So what? i aint wrong

So how did it turn from me being very wrong 3-4 times to you being wrong twice in a row 💀

If im wrong about r9700 being cheaper ill let u know i was wrong its not that deep

[ashen spindle]

Well if I’m wrong then explain me how I’m wrong about CUs being related to cost of the gpu

[rain quiver]

Nah i aint explaining shit, ill wait until the gpu is out

[ashen spindle]

I don’t care about you being right or wrong you’re just stating “facts” that are wrong then refuse to elaborate

[rain quiver]

If you dont care then how you gonna say i was very wrong 3-4 but still fail twice to show me an example

Then you backtrack to the CUs 💀

You got it bro

[ashen spindle]

I don’t backtrack to CUs that’s the only thing I cared about lol

[rain quiver]

[ashen spindle]

Oh don’t worry I’m afk in a meeting so might as well

[rain quiver]

Remember when i said the 5090 msrp wasnt gonna be above $2k then you started yappin about how im wrong as always

But i was right 💀

You not gonna mention that right

You just love telling people theyre wrong, idk why

[ashen spindle]

You mean where I explicitly said it could be and only focused on why it could be and don’t commit to saying it’s definitely one way or another because nvidia could price it whatever they want

[rain quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/klasik-clasik-clasic-gif-25398314

[ashen spindle]

See the word could there?

[rain quiver]

This is too easy

Bro read the rest, you were arguing so hard against the $2k msrp for no reason

[ashen spindle]

You see how I literally explain my reason how it could reach 2000 and the msrp was set to 1999usd? How was I wrong there?

[rain quiver]

And i was just chillin its so funny

Like bro 💀

Who hurt bro

[analog sinew]

why are you arguing with the "i won the argument" bro

its futile they won
