[magic minnow]

So much money!!!
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/06/09/disney-comcast-hulu-valuation.html

[umbral heron]

Since 2019, yeah
In 2023 they bought it out, now they finished the transaction, but de facto they had full control over it since then

[magic minnow]

Wowoowow I didn’t know that

[lofty pivot]

can all of these streaming services just go back to having one service with everything on it please

[magic minnow]

If I had all that money I’d spend it on gacha game!

[magic minnow]

I wish

[dusky nova]

this is my main motivation behind maintaining my plex setup

my region gets shit deals

[umbral heron]

Back then everything was on Netflix and it was all good
Now my parents have Netflix, Max, Canal+, Disney+ and Amazon Prime

[umbral heron]

Netflix Mojave?

[dusky nova]

i used to hardcore netflix too

then they took off my favorite shows

then they stopped getting good deals on shows i liked for my region

i was like yeah i aint playing cat and mouse with streaming services

[analog sinew]

yeah this is typical enshittification

suits thought they should be making the money and now its all gone to shit

[dusky nova]

also if i yarrharr i tend to just get better quality material anyways

but honestly i wouldnt even have minded netflix having worse quality for my brokie plan, IF THEY HAD THE DANG SHOW

[lofty pivot]

netflix is still cheap in korea so it's the only one i keep, but i cancelled everything else because it was too annoying

[dusky nova]

yo im in sk too

not interested in kdramas though VERY UNFORTUNATELY 😔

[lofty pivot]

maybe you just need the right one. It's time to start watching Itaewon Class for an inspiring underdog tail of revenge and work ethic

[dusky nova]

i dont want to suddenly grow 10 years older, ive seen what kdramas do man

not as devastating as telenovelas but still

[magic minnow]

Early Netflix used to be so good

[lofty pivot]

maybe you just need the right one. You need an uplifting tale that inspires you

[umbral heron]

Though Netflix has obscure Filipino and SEA soap operas with english subtitles, so I'm very happy to have it

But movies I only take from sailing

[dusky nova]

yeah i was never much of a fan of those so netflix slowly became a sour deal for me

still nice they are spotlighting them for the enjoyers though

[devout raptor]

i liked crunchyroll until they removed comments

i was baffled when reddit downvoted me and defended that decision

how can a left leaning platform have so many corporate bootlickers

[tribal dirge]

At the end, it is not the business owners that make the most money, it's the investors.

[devout raptor]

that seems to be the reason why everything is going downhill anyway

[tribal dirge]

It's because many of these companies were ran pretty unsustainably. Some are arguably still extremely unsustainable. And once they gained market share they need to turn a profit somehow.

[dusky nova]

never liked cr i always just yarhar'd or used netflix (very rarely) for anim0s

[tribal dirge]

Like YouTube is ran at a complete loss.

[umbral heron]

But you can make a good service and make way more money
See at Steam and Gaben being yachtillionaire

[devout raptor]

pirate sites are garbage these days

during covid we had publically accessible sites with good bitrate streaming

[umbral heron]

YouTube?! $16B revenue just from last year

[dusky nova]

i dont bother with those rando streaming sites LOL

so ass, i just build my plex collection brick my brick

[umbral heron]

Let's not talk that, Discord very much doesn't like that

[dusky nova]

but yeah i was never around for these lol

[tribal dirge]

Revenue != profit

YouTube's operating costs def exceeds what they earn in revenue.

[devout raptor]

how do you host a plex server

[dusky nova]

the target audience of those sites must be kids who dont know better or something

[reef patrol]

You install the software, and point it to a folder with your legitimate DVD rips.

[dusky nova]

you kinda just do, lotsa documentation

[reef patrol]

[dusky nova]

emphasis on legitimate

i acquire all of my media through legal channels

i am a very good person with great chances at a spot in heaven

[tribal dirge]

Revenue is what the company earns, not what it can make.

[devout raptor]

so you dont need a nas to host a media server?

[dusky nova]

not necessarily

[umbral heron]

Ah yes, my bad
$16B was profit, revenue was $36.2B

[tribal dirge]

You can totally run a plex server on a nas, but it will probably be dog slow

[dusky nova]

a nas is certainly useful for a lot of things though, not just that

i would just build one regardless

[reef patrol]

A NAS is just a PC with lots of harddrives that (typically) runs 24/7 on your local network.

For file backups and media services like Plex.

[dusky nova]

you could legit host plex on a crappy 8th gen intel laptop if you wanted

[umbral heron]

Any PC connected to internet network can be media server

[balmy vector]

I am a media server

[rough patrol]

I still need to make my media server

[reef patrol]

Ultimately your CPU and RAM just needs to be able to cope with whatever you need doing. Running 4K video to a TV is going to be more intensive than 720P

[tribal dirge]

According to what?

[umbral heron]

Their financial statement?

[reef patrol]

I have an older Ryzen 2200G and 16GB of RAM in my NAS. Handles a single video stream of any kind of 1080P I have to my TV just fine.

[quasi portal]

you’re a liar! you’re an insider.

jk

[devout raptor]

but you need a machine thats on at all the times to host a plex no?

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-cute-gif-24909814

[dusky nova]

yeah this is why people typically use n100s, or laptops with crippled chipsets

they run cool and efficient

i think it is why ewaste laptops are often upcycled into mediaservers by homelab enthusiasts entering the hobby

[nimble arch]

Crunchyroll had a comments section?

[tribal dirge]

most NAS servers operate all day all night. At least mine do.

[devout raptor]

yes for years

[nimble arch]

News to me

[devout raptor]

they removed it to make a "safer enviroment"

[nimble arch]

Although I do not watch the animes

[nimble arch]

Probably didn't want to pay for moderators

[dusky nova]

part of me thinks it is justified

[devout raptor]

its pure garbage

[dusky nova]

interactions between degens 🥀

[devout raptor]

a major part of anime is the damn interactive community

[nimble arch]

That's what Twitter is for

[devout raptor]

no

[dusky nova]

we kinda have discord communities for that now i think

[nimble arch]

Also helps the platform #trend

[devout raptor]

twitter is for angry people

[devout raptor]

most are completely dead

[dusky nova]

people who like an anime would usually look up the respective discord community for it

not that i care LOL!!! 😂😂😂

[devout raptor]

they are all dead and off topic

[dusky nova]

i wouldnt touch them with a 10 trillion foot pole

[devout raptor]

how cool of you

[dusky nova]

not necessarily cool i think i just dont find a lot of insight out of the typical anime audience

[devout raptor]

i think the typical audience does not care to engage on a deeper level

[dusky nova]

the ones with insight probably already have their own circles to discuss in

🥀

[devout raptor]

well yeah

or youtube channels

[balmy vector]

Yeah youtube

[devout raptor]

myanimelist is probably the most active platform for general discussions

anilist ux is miles better but it has much less users

[dusky nova]

oml i love mal arguments discussions

peak internet imo

[devout raptor]

never used mal like that

only did a bit of ragebait on anilist and got muted

[leaden kiln]

love talking to my friends on al

hop on al

[unkempt lake]

Ai is ur friend

[leaden kiln]

[vapid ruin]

From the looks of it, and way I use my monitor (absolute low brightness, switching between yt and discord, changing tabs often) i think I'll be fine with oled if what he said is true.

[raw zephyr]

you will buy a new monitor before you get any signs of burn in

especially with all the oled protections nowadays

[rough patrol]

I would probably get burn in considering i play arpgs with static UI elements for thousands of hours

[pine wren]

Yall I need help

This monitor not taking full screen I need help I already tried setting up everything to recommended

[analog sinew]

right click > display options

if the one you want isnt available due to being weird res

you can try setting custom res in your gpu program

[pine wren]

What’s that

[analog sinew]

and the right res isnt under here?

heres the advanced stuff

first ,what resolution is the monitor

[pine wren]

Display resulation is 1440 x 2560 recommended

[analog sinew]

If you don't know what resolution the monitor physically has you gotta find that out

windows recommends all type of shit

[pine wren]

Oh how to find out?

Should I try all of them?

[analog sinew]

no, just google the model number

[lost spruce]

guys ive got a stupid silly question qwq if i smoke near my wooting does it have any effects on it like am i killing it or anything

[analog sinew]

because if it were 2560x1440p thered be no black borders

[analog sinew]

shouldnt affect it except getting it dirty and smelly.

[pine wren]

How to find out the model number I’m new to this stuff?

[lost spruce]

its a vape, but thank u so much

[analog sinew]

well what was it called when you bought it

this should also tell you

[analog sinew]

okay it IS 2560x1440

thats pretty odd

if i do portrait on my 2560x1440p monitor it works just fine

[pine wren]

Ye what should I do?

[dull hollow]

is it the same when its not flipped portrait?

[pine wren]

Ye same

[analog sinew]

okay so something about the monitor is borked

try replugging the display cable ig cant hurt

[dull hollow]

or windows doing windows things

[analog sinew]

who knows

[pine wren]

I’ll Try that

[dull hollow]

could be drivers

check for updates

[pine wren]

How to update it?

[pine wren]

Didn’t work

[dull hollow]

for nvidia https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/
for amd https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/adrenalin.html

[pine wren]

How to know what monitor is mine lol

[dull hollow]

your gpu

(pc)

[pine wren]

Mine is a 5070 ti zotac gaming

[dull hollow]

okay so nvidia (first link)

[dull hollow]

gpus do some freaky shit without drivers

[pine wren]

im at the nvdia app

It’s downloading

Express or custom

?

[dull hollow]

express should be fine

might need to do a pc restart AFTER its done

[pine wren]

Alr

Didn’t work Takmon ig I have to get a new monitor?

[rough osprey]

you mean while its doing it

[pine wren]

@dull hollow

@dull hollow

[dull hollow]

uhhh

[dull hollow]

try windows updates..?

[pine wren]

What’s arch Linux?

[dull hollow]

dont mind the frog

[pine wren]

Okay

[rough osprey]

evil OS for evil people

[pine wren]

@dull hollow if it doesn’t work what monitor should I buy budget 400 usd

Can go up

[dull hollow]

well its just a side vertical monitor, doesnt have to be expensive

probably something thats also 1440p, doesnt need to be high-refreshrate, IPS if you really want it to be

[pine wren]

I don’t understand half of that stuff u just said lol

What monitor should I get

[dull hollow]

you can just look for something inexpensive on amazon, just look up "1440p IPS monitor" and look at a couple of reviews for it

[analog sinew]

doesnt make sense to buy a new monitor for this

[pine wren]

Can u name me 1? I’m a bit impatient I would prob get it in irl store

[analog sinew]

this should work

their portrait monitor is outputting at some odd res

[dull hollow]

i mean you can go into a store and look for something that meats those requirements

[analog sinew]

i was just in the shower so i missed recebt developments

[dull hollow]

yeah

just told him

[pine wren]

So what should I get 1440P?

[analog sinew]

i see no reason to buy a new monitor thats wild

and fair chance the same thing happens

[dull hollow]

did drivers and windows updates

does your monitor have a button/joystick on it either on the bottom (near logo) or back? @pine wren

indeed

[pine wren]

This

IT WORKED

[dull hollow]

press it and go into the menu and see if you can change the aspect ratio

[pine wren]

I PRESSED SMTH

I LOVE U

[analog sinew]

so it was some odd mode switch or sth

[pine wren]

Thanks

[dull hollow]

odd way to fix it but ig it works

[rough osprey]

how does it detect this 🤔

[dull hollow]

it just does

[rough osprey]

the apple way

[balmy vector]

propbably using the mics if you snore

[rough osprey]

😭

[leaden kiln]

that would be crazy
don't need an apple watch or anything?

[leaden kiln]

some guy in the next room snores and my music pauses
would be so mad since the snoring is probably what u tried to block with music

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZILXRqTEl3g

[astral haven]

Heck yea Bradley is the one who bought it!

[umbral heron]

Oh no
Poor prototype

Time to get chips and watch

[pine wren]

I got the legion go never use it

Idk what to use it for

[ashen spindle]

why did you get it then lol

[umbral heron]

My 2 Decks
Gaming almost every day on them

[vagrant pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/glenn-quagmire-family-guy-giggity-gif-4084933

2 decks? at the same time?

[umbral heron]

Noooo
One is for Steam games, other for emulation

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah ok sure

https://tenor.com/view/jen-ok-gif-20737032

[unkempt lake]

Sharks have 2 decks

You have blajah plushies

[pale sigil]

Why do you have 2 decks

[unkempt lake]

Cals is a shark

Duh

[umbral heron]

You ask me this every time I mention it
I got LCD first and when OLED released I got it for CSGO skins

[balmy vector]

ok but why dont you have more?

[unkempt lake]

I want valve to make a steam deck slim or steam deck lite

I will buy one if they do

[pale sigil]

Why didn't you sell it though

The lcd

[umbral heron]

3rd one is brother's, for now it's in his room

[umbral heron]

Because I have all emulators there
It's nice to play on one while other is charging anyway

[rough osprey]

anyone here using steamdeck with moonlight or parsec (using own pc)

[unkempt lake]

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

Ye

[rough osprey]

does it work well and stuff?

[nimble arch]

https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/10/time-machine-backup-macos/

Between this and macOS 27 not supporting ANY Intel Macs, I do wonder if we'll be getting a huge under-the-hood overhaul next year? I wouldn't be surprised if Rosetta 2 for compatibility with the remaining Intel apps was discontinued as well.

[crimson wigeon]

Most likely, it isn't like Apple to keep compatibility for legacy apps around for long

[nimble arch]

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/06/apple-details-the-end-of-intel-mac-support-and-a-phaseout-for-rosetta-2/

Apple is also planning changes to Rosetta 2, the Intel-to-Arm app translation technology created to ease the transition between the Intel and Apple Silicon eras. Rosetta will continue to work as a general-purpose app translation tool in both macOS 26 and macOS 27.

But after that, Rosetta will be pared back and will only be available to a limited subset of apps—specifically, older games that rely on Intel-specific libraries but are no longer being actively maintained by their developers. Devs who want their apps to continue running on macOS after that will need to transition to either Apple Silicon-native apps or universal apps that run on either architecture.

[pale sigil]

Yes but im limited by the LCD modem

It isn't very strong

[ashen spindle]

the Intel-to-Arm app translation
oh god the pain when reading technical talk by someone who clearly doesnt understand it

[rough osprey]

okay nice

[umbral heron]

[rough osprey]

supposedly even better then steams own version

[pale sigil]

Eg pushing it to 150mb is not particularly doable in a lot of cases simply because it's nerfed, like I get 350-400 down max if im lucky.

The oled is much much better though

But ye, pretty much most of my usage on the deck has always been moonlight 😅

[rough osprey]

ye just wanna play forza and other stuff in bed lol

[pale sigil]

It's much better than steams stuff for sure

[rough osprey]

the steamdeck oled seems to be cheapest oled thing for this that still has a lil power

[umbral heron]

Forza 4/5 keeps nice 40~60fps on Deck regardless

[astral haven]

Is it someone who doesn't understand it or someone who is trying to explain it to someone who doesn't understand it...

[pale sigil]

I've been using my tablet to stream to and attaching controllers to the sides lol

[rough osprey]

oh is moonlight also on mobile?

[umbral heron]

Moonlight is on about everything

[rough osprey]

maybe ill try that first

[ashen spindle]

I mean they also didnt call it the IBM to Intel tool when talking about the original

[astral haven]

Probably called it powerpc (to intel)

[ashen spindle]

if you want to make it simpler you call it Intel to Apple, not intel to arm

[rough osprey]

just ipad with bluetooth controller should work too then

[astral haven]

Correct would be Intel to M series but that sounds awful and everyone already knows of the transition as "the arm transition"

[rough osprey]

time for ipad pro oled just for this

[pale sigil]

Although I will admit

[ashen spindle]

they dont even mention arm aside from that just call it "an Apple Silicon Mac"

[umbral heron]

Just x86-to-arm

[pale sigil]

I had to return those controllers and I've been using the deck again

It's nice

I just wish it had a bigger screen

[umbral heron]

Or Intel-to-Apple Silicon

[ashen spindle]

so even if you argue you dont want to explain what x86 is, this would still be a bad way because its wrong and not just inaccurate

[rough osprey]

wait i could use moonlight on apple tv

is there some way to have the pc wake up and sleep just through the software on the device its getting streamed to

[astral haven]

Well it is kinda accurate since it was Intel
And as for what it is now, it's not afterburner or t2 style custom, it's an arm chip

[ashen spindle]

but its not made by Arm the company

[astral haven]

Apple devices aren't made by Apple the company either

[ashen spindle]

the chips are made by apple as much as the intel chips were by intel

[astral haven]

Not when Apple was still using them

Amd chips were made by amd sure, but intel actually owns fabs (and back then they were good enough to be used)

[rough osprey]

when can i buy foxconn phone

[lone dune]

Im pretty sure u can do that on steamdeck

[astral haven]

Whenever you want

[rough osprey]

with moonlight tho

[rough osprey]

needs the branding too

[lone dune]

Ah not sure

[umbral heron]

x86 was created by Intel, so it's popular to call it Intel too, just like it's popular to call x86-64 AMD64
But M chips are ARMv8/v9, so they could be called ARM too

[rough osprey]

amd invented 3d

[ashen spindle]

well I disagree with your view and either the person doesnt know what they are writing about or they know and are using something incorrectly on purpose to make it sound easier when its just more confusing

[astral haven]

Foxxconn doesn't use foxxconn for branding devices
Sharp is the closest to a consumer brand they have

[rough osprey]

they should change that

🦊

[astral haven]

They tried with a car, but competition was too fierce for now

[rough osprey]

just stop making other phones

[astral haven]

Oh nvm it's Foxtron for cars not Foxconn

[rough osprey]

and make foxconn phone

[astral haven]

Much more reliable to manufacture than to sell
Less upside but also less downside

[rough osprey]

i predict it to be the best phone ever

[astral haven]

I wouldn't
The sharp phones aren't great

[rough osprey]

but 🦊

but i also don't trust sharp

[astral haven]

So why trust their "parent" company

[pale sigil]

Moonlight cna wake via lan

You can also send a shutdown signal I think

[rough osprey]

i like foxes

[rough osprey]

cool cool

will try

[astral haven]

That certainly is a way to pick brands

[rough osprey]

[bright briar]

damn did i miss it?

[rough osprey]

yes we all rich now

[median kraken]

Hi everyone, I need your help.
My Wooting 80HE is set to 8000 Hz in Wootility, but USB Tree Viewer shows it's only running at USB 2.0 (High-Speed). I’m using the original cable, plugged directly into the USB-C port on the back of my ASUS ROG Strix X570-E motherboard. No hubs, no extensions. I’ve tried other ports too – same result. The companion ports support SuperSpeed, but the keyboard always connects via the USB 2.0 lane.
Anyone else experienced this or found a fix without needing a PCIe USB card?

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah no keyboard needs 3.0

[median kraken]

i want the 8000hz... solution?

[ashen spindle]

you have the 8000hz

[vagrant pagoda]

youre getting 8000

TBO i bet it only needs 2.0 to get 1.5a and data

[astral haven]

2.0 high speed is damn fast

Its enough for 4mhz polling on the wooting if I'm doing my math right?

[median kraken]

is there a wooting-polling-rate-tester?

[astral haven]

Forgot about analog, it'll be less with analog

[median kraken]

I get that, but my concern is that I can still enable 8kHz polling in Wootility even when using a regular USB-A cable. I thought 8k shouldn't even be possible over USB-A, so it makes me wonder if it’s really running at 8kHz or just showing that setting without actually applying it.

[vagrant pagoda]

well techically c only supports 2.0 or greater

yeah

[median kraken]

If Wooting can run 8000Hz over USB 2.0 without any dongle, why do other brands like ASUS or Razer need a Polling Rate Booster for 8000Hz? What's different in their hardware or implementation?

[vagrant pagoda]

1.1 to 2.0 was all on the signallying, the cable was the same

[vagrant pagoda]

wank

marketing wank

the boosters are usb 2.0

they dont need 3.0

[dull hollow]

arent dongles for.... wireless products

[median kraken]

why the booster?

[median kraken]

that would solve anything 😄

[vagrant pagoda]

to get more money out of you

asus needs it for wired too

[median kraken]

bruh

[dull hollow]

theres wired mice with 8k polling ahem op1 8k

and probably many more

[median kraken]

thank you guys... i will never ask chat gpt again..., take me 2 days...

[vagrant pagoda]

that isnt asus

asus makes you buy a addon to get over 1k

[dull hollow]

not saying it is asus, just a different product that does 8k with a wire

[vagrant pagoda]

there is no issue with doing 8k wireless or wired, the booster is asus wank

[lyric hatch]

Still don't ship to NZ

Oh true, when did this happen

[vagrant pagoda]

neat, if you have a metal credit card, when you get your replacement they send you a prepaid mailer to depose of your old one because you cant shred them

[astral haven]

Get a better shredder

[vagrant pagoda]

i dont even own a shredder though

[rough osprey]

melt it

[vagrant pagoda]

pretty sure its stainless steel

not worth melting it

yeah amex started it for the black card, and now everyone has one

Why is the a Mansen problem, i see no ducks, water or peas

cardboard creditcard?

[elfin niche]

bros a saviour

[worn kernel]

until the endgame gear op1 8k v2 releases we're gonna be maining this crappy logi m340 bc i have nothing else

sold my logi g309 lightspeed for $60 (please nobody buy that mouse ever) so now we're here i guess

[steady sail]

And i just enjoy my x2h mini from pulsar :3

[dusky nova]

the fact u got rid of it for that price is very impressive tbh

[plush stirrup]

Was the g309 worse compared to this or?

[worn kernel]

yea, got it for $70 on sale, half a year of use

[worn kernel]

g309 was actually pretty good, just not worth the price and i couldn't see myself using it much longer
so my friend wanted it

this pebble mouse thing is probably the world's worst mouse

it was just lying in some cabinent

but there are literally no other mice in my house

well there is one but my family uses it on the office computer

it's even worse somehow

[dusky nova]

also op18k v2 probably wont be impressive tbh

i would rather just get a refurbished op18k

[worn kernel]

i mean it releases in a week from what i've heard so why not

[dusky nova]

ye but you will be paying brand new prices for fairly marginal improvements

i was disappointed when this likely was the case for xm1 4k v2 as well

i personally would rather get a refurb unit in nice condition and fight against waste >.<

if its worth it to you then thats fair i guess

unrelated but egg has been kinda a snoozesfest to me personally

at this point im just waiting for their rumored asym to release

[worn kernel]

their keyboard sucks iirc

[dusky nova]

it is

full on oem slop

[steady sail]

[plush stirrup]

One disadvantage is you won’t know if a mouse feels worse compared to when it was first put in use, mine tend to always feels loose after a while scroll wheel wise

[steady sail]

Idk if i ever gonna find a new mouse that feels good in my hand

[worn kernel]

also i'm unsure how warranties work with refurbs

[dusky nova]

idk i have always had stellar luck with my refurbs and 2ndhand units personally, survivorship bias notwithstanding

[plush stirrup]

Depends on where you are, but buying 2nd hand where I live warranty just transfers to the new owner, if a company refurbished it, it’s 1 year (again, where I live)

[worn kernel]

eh, i'd rather just buy first hand. the price is already very low for a mouse of such high quality so i don't mind

[plush stirrup]

Same here, for mouses that is

[worn kernel]

(looking at YOU gpx2)

[steady sail]

Overpriced shit mouse aka gpx2

[worn kernel]

logitech g "pro" x "superlight" "2"

[rough osprey]

👀

[steady sail]

I happy that i never had any logi mouse xd

Tho i almost bought one

[worn kernel]

i'm happy FOR you i got my g309 lightspeed before i knew anything about gaming mice. lesson learned: do ya research

[rough osprey]

u hating without owning one 😭

[steady sail]

But luckily i can test it in our MediaMarkt soo i voted against it

[worn kernel]

g309 lightspeed is a literal brick (86 grams) with a bad shape. but the latency is fine

but it's being sold rn for $90

[rough osprey]

never tried so no comment

[worn kernel]

???????

[rough osprey]

but its also old af

or

hm its 50 here

[worn kernel]

oh that's weird

$90 here

[steady sail]

Funny but i can buy a brand new g309 lightspeed for 120$

[rough osprey]

i mean normal market price

not msrp

[worn kernel]

oh right
$50 is still too much imo

[rough osprey]

havent tried it so no comment on that

EE are finally enabling phone calls over 5G connections. No more connecting to 4G in the background. Although not all areas currently support 5G standalone.

Good old UK infrastructure

[pale sigil]

I didn't even know you could call over 4/5g

[umbral heron]

Voice over LTE and Voice over Wi-Fi are peak

[pale sigil]

WiFi I knew about

[nimble arch]

These indoor 5G speeds though

[pale sigil]

I've hit 400 on EE

im looking for my first oled

[viscid moon]

Nope

[pale sigil]

No to oled

Yes to qdoled

[charred forge]

i mean qdoled

[viscid moon]

I don’t like oled monitors because I use it also to work and reading too much in oled is tiring. Letters are not super sharp.

I have oled tv for single player games though

[charred forge]

is bad for productive work?

[pale sigil]

Can be depending on the person.

And the panel

[viscid moon]

For me it is tiring, it depends on you. I read a lot and code and can’t stand oled for long periods of time

[pale sigil]

First gen qdoled was rough for text for example

[viscid moon]

For gaming is amazing, but I need something I can use to both work and game so I have IPS

[charred forge]

i currently have pg278qm ips, only had good experience, almost no bleeding. but everyone saying qdoled is such a big upgrade

i thinking to have 3 monitor setup

[umbral heron]

Can confirm
I love my IPS
But HDR is shit

[viscid moon]

HDR is shit can confirm as well

[charred forge]

Comparing the Switch 2 to the PS4 is dumb solely because it’s a decade newer hardware.

[vapid ruin]

ayy, series S going to be better supported if that's what it means

[ashen spindle]

Doesn’t matter what it’s closer to since it’s so different in power and architecture

WiFi Calling still has roaming charges. At least with my provider. Seems a little stupid IMHO.

If I’m connecting to EE’s network over hotel WiFi, why is there a roaming charge? They’re not utilising another providers cellular network.

[ashen spindle]

Thats why nobody uses normal calling and just calls in discord, signal WhatsApp or whatever

[nimble arch]

iMessage and FaceTime

Except most of my family use Android phones these days

[viscid moon]

I only get normal calls from like the couriers and food delivery when they arrive 🤣 here most of the people use telegram and call there

All the government shit is email, same with stuff like banks, services, etc

[umbral heron]

What?
Why? Here we only pay for first minute and the rest is free

[charred nexus]

chat how tf you even check if I have hdcp 2.2 for my monitor

Cuz I checked using edge://gpu it said it's supported but when I open Apple TV+ it still play in lower resolution

[ashen spindle]

Well it being there and the services recognizing it are different

If your gpu or cable have issues it can get detected but not work etc.

[charred nexus]

Huh

[ashen spindle]

Bad cables often cause this but there are also known bugs in some software so uhh good luck

[nimble arch]

I have zero idea why it’s the case

[charred nexus]

HDCP is on in adrenalin

[nimble arch]

Turn off WiFi Calling or you will be charged international rates if you make calls over WiFi while abroad. WiFi Calling is only supported in the UK.

[unkempt lake]

how do you call your grandma

[ashen spindle]

Spirit phone I guess

[unkempt lake]

[nimble arch]

I can’t call them

[charred nexus]

Wait nvm I make it work

I just turn off and turn on hdcp on both of my screen in adrenalin and reset Apple TV+ app

It works now

I think it's just the driver being wonky or something

[sudden imp]

I see the OLED discussion happened here so as of right now which is better QD or WOLED?

[charred nexus]

Wait I wanna know too

Tho I'm using a qd rn

[astral haven]

As with everything, it depends

[ashen spindle]

Neither are better, it’s a matter of look at the monitor not the tech it uses to achieve it

[charred nexus]

Which one is better for text viewing rn

[ashen spindle]

Depends, resolution/screensize matter more usually then for some people then it depends which generation tech since they differ in what layout they have

[charred nexus]

When I'm using my 27' 1440p qd oled I find the pink green text fringing pretty noticable, but I don't really have a woled to compare to

[astral haven]

If you haven't, you might want to go through the cleartpe calibration

[charred nexus]

The hdcp thing is still wonky bruh, I went to do something else and hdcp ain't working again. Had to restart my PC and toggle the hdcp on and off again

[wheat plume]

Apparently the Ubuntu Snap Store cannot update itself because snaps can't update the app if it's currently running

🤦‍♀️

[nimble arch]

lol, lmao even

[wheat plume]

So you need to run the command on a terminal to kill the Snap Store and update it

[umbral heron]

Because I like my software outdated

[nimble arch]

Why is Ubuntu just a small core repo of a few thousand packages with all end user software in a Flatpak?

Why isn't that just all desktop Linux actually

[wheat plume]

Cause my friend installed Ubuntu cause that's the only distro she heard about and wanted to try Linux
But now she can't run updates cause the snap store keeps showing an error about not being able to update itself because the Snap Store process is running

Yeh ...

Imma swap her over to Fedora

[umbral heron]

All software in Flatpak?
That's a grim future

[loud hemlock]

better than the what it is rn which is mostly appimages

[wheat plume]

And all Ubuntu is Snap is a grim future for Ubuntu

The want to even package the gnome desktop session itself as snap

[loud hemlock]

linux on desktop is doomed honestly

[wheat plume]

Your entire desktop will be snap

[nimble arch]

Why is this a problem?

[wheat plume]

Flatpak is better than AppImage imo

[loud hemlock]

i would much prefer a flatpak OS over a snap one

yeah

ive been wanting to try an immutable distro but havent really found the time for it

[umbral heron]

Mostly permissions
Sure, keep bigger software in Flatpaks, I don't care
But core packages keep in package manager

[loud hemlock]

because im sure as hell not going to daily drive it

[wheat plume]

^

Bazzite is the only immutable distro I can handle daily driving
Mostly cause I can install regular RPM packages as an overlay with rpm-ostree

[loud hemlock]

objectively correct take but also no

[nimble arch]

That's what I said though? You keep a small, focused core repository of the stuff that actually makes a desktop platform work (drivers, GNOME etc) and then stick all end user software into Flatpaks.

[loud hemlock]

^ this changes meaning a lot depending on what you consider "core"

[wheat plume]

Yes
But canonical want to install the desktop itself as a snap .-.

[loud hemlock]

the only linux install i use and maintain to test stuff on is arch

[wheat plume]

Arch is neat
But I don't trust it's long term stability

[loud hemlock]

I don't trust the long term stability of any linux distro, but at least Arch i know how to fix

also that yeah

[wheat plume]

Fedora has been great for me across versions

Went from 39 - 40, 40 - 41 and 41 - 42 without issues

[nimble arch]

On that note, why isn't Ubuntu just a rolling release for the non-LTS desktop stuff?

Or anything really

Most major products like GNOME etc update once or twice a year anyway

[umbral heron]

Ladies and gentlemen
We have achieved
Peak

[halcyon moss]

and so does ubuntu

but here i am, still running pop os stable

based on ubuntu 22.04

[umbral heron]

Pop OS good

[halcyon moss]

i dont know man.. ive been promised an update for over 2 years now :p

and 24.04 is beta

yes, eventually good, but really standing still for everone else. as with every rewrite

anyway.. shouldnt complain as i didnt pay anything for it.

also time to upgrade perhaps

Turns out using Hollywood movies to show how good your AI is at creating near identical clips of said movies is not a great legal move.

[sudden imp]

HOLY SHIT

[marsh pewter]

hmmm

I sure wonder what that AI trained on

surely its all legally obtained with the proper licenses

[vapid ruin]

You know, if they're based in China, they'll prop won't get sued but at least blocked from the world wide

In any case, lmao

[sudden imp]

SURELY it’s not like OPENai said themselves if copyright is enforced AI industry would collapse

[reef patrol]

They're from San Fran

[sudden imp]

LOL

they are so screwed

[vapid ruin]

Lmao, US copyright shooting itself on AI race

again

[sudden imp]

Voice to text was ass let me type that out

So with the best results usually the training data is based on the copy righted material. By forcing copyright makes ai harder to create the goal is privitize the use of ai so Disney can only use their data to train ai models.

[umbral heron]

YES!
KILL

Although it'd be funny if I could just say to AI in 2 years "Generate me Avengers: Infinity War" and it'd make copyright-free, 99% similar version of the movie

[vapid ruin]

need like 4tb of video ram though

[umbral heron]

I'll let whatever AI company worry about that

[marsh pewter]

it gets to a point where AI is just reencoding the training material

"hrm can I get Avengers Endgame from your totally legally obtained training material?"

[umbral heron]

One thing about AI sucks though

Anyone here who has user experience with both claude 4 Opus, Sonnet by Anthropic and the new o3-pro by OpenAi. How do these ai products stackup against eachother i want to know if o3-pro is a better coder than opus 4 and sonnet if not is it a good architect?

[vagrant pagoda]

just try them

[ashen spindle]

if you cant figure out if its good or bad dont rely on it

[vapid ruin]

I only tried sonnet, but it's solid for its instruct following when it comes to roleplaying. Idk about o3-pro but my experience on OAI model is generally subpar. For coding, I would prop recommend Gemini pro.

[tame thicket]

gemini pro is that much better than sonnet 4?

what about pricing i am willing to go 200 dollars for max 20x for claude opus 4 which can do 6 hours of autonomous coding, can google gemini do this too?

[vagrant pagoda]

you can just check the pricing

[vapid ruin]

It's a bigger model (probably) and some people I know tested it for nuances and complex scenarios and it can do it well

[vapid ruin]

Not sure if it can do it but gemini iirc should be a little bit cheaper than claude opus

[tame thicket]

guess i have to try em both with a cheap plan and test them then decide to pop in more coins

i found my answer from some young indian developer testing both models side by side, opus kicks ass but is more expensive.

that is a good question probably not yet

[vagrant pagoda]

you could just learn to code

[tame thicket]

i actually know how to code

i just need a cheap junior to do my dirty work

[vagrant pagoda]

if you did you would be testing instead of asking

[tame thicket]

my situation is a bit different, i have not coded for 5 years after a hospitalization

so i am rusty but i know how to code

[ashen spindle]

well we dont know what usecases etc. so still best to evaluate yourself what works better than trust other people on it

[vagrant pagoda]

so again why not just test

[tame thicket]

i will test them

[vagrant pagoda]

then you get if they work for your usecase

no one can tell you that

[tame thicket]

i am tempted to setup a mcp server which connects both and let them both do the work and then commit the results of the one i like

[halcyon moss]

Opus is great, but very expensive. Sonnet works well. Gemini as well

Gemini is quite a bit cheaper

They do things differently, and I've preferred Claude sonnet because it's tool use is more reliable

[tame thicket]

lets say i make a design in Figma, sonnet or gemini could make it right? so i can focus on the backend>?

[halcyon moss]

Sonnet in roo and kilo can open a browser to check the result

Roo code or kilo code

[reef patrol]

Please ensure your PCI-E socket is clean by using a piece of wetted paper

[ashen spindle]

[old marlin]

yea by the time it would make sense to have this bandwidth in consumer devices there are a couple more versions already

[analog sinew]

yeah consumer devices arent even saturating 4.0

[umbral heron]

I mean there's no difference between 3.0 and 4.0 on 5090 either

[reef patrol]

When has that ever stopped manufacturers from capitalizing on NEU TEK

Our new AI powerhouses communicate through the power of LAZERZ

[nimble arch]

The issue is some lower end cards only using x8 lanes so then being really slow if hooked up to an older PC

[old marlin]

lack of compatability would be an easy one

modern PCIe can already do a lot of crazy stuff

and the only thing I can think of that actually made it over quite well to consumer plattforms is bifurcation

[analog sinew]

its a feature

they needed to save 0.02 cents of copper yknow

[umbral heron]

Fun AI Fact!
Human brain has about 100B neurons
For AI to emulate that it'd need 2.7GW of energy, which is 23.65TWh per year - almost the same as the entire world energy consumption! (29.66TWh in 2023)
Meanwhile human brain needs an equivalent of only 12W to do that, so about 105kWh per year!
All that means is... that AI is a waste of energy and resources

Also - whole human body needs about 60W under full load

you press the switch labeled “continuous rapid trigger”

where

[marsh pewter]

there should be a Rapid Trigger tab under Keyboard config

[umbral heron]

Then it's WiFi 6
For WiFi 7 certification it is mandatory to simultaneously exchange data across 2.4, 5 and 6GHz

[crimson wigeon]

Brill

[nimble arch]

Except the router is certified as Wi-Fi 7

ASUS have a few lower end models with no 6 GHz channel but are otherwise certified and advertised as a Wi-Fi 7 router.

You still get the simulatenous connections on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels with any Wi-Fi 7 enabled device.

They recently dropped their amdgpu-pro package an said they'll focus on open-source projects exclusively
So I guess pretty well too

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah but will rocm continue being a pain in the ass

Only supporting the top tier consumer GPU officially and the rest being idk maybe works shrug

[umbral heron]

Supposedly "support will improve" whatever that means
I wonder if just only for RDNA4+ or for all RDNA

[ashen spindle]

Rocm got plenty of updates too with 7 for consumer

Entire rdna4 is supported from day one, automated build tests are done for 3 too etc.

If we want to be specific consumer cards now have more support than nvidia gives to GeForce cards

[nimble arch]

Given that they're in the business of selling new hardware, they'll probably prioritise new hardware.

People on reddit are saying HDMI doesn't work on linux, is this still happening?

Bazzite for example, would that be an issue?

[umbral heron]

It works fine

[trim crane]

idk i have just seen a lot of people having issues abd was wondering whats up with that

[umbral heron]

Never had any issue with HDMI to be honest
The only thing about HDMI and Linux is that 2.1 is not supported in open drivers, because HDMI Forum are assholes

[trim crane]

that is what i saw

HDMI 2.1

[magic minnow]

Windows 99/Linux 0

[umbral heron]

2.1 only matters if you're going 8K or 4K144
For 4K60 2.0 is enough

[trim crane]

is there still a reason to still have HDMI over DP on GPUs or not really? I think audio over DP is a thing

[halcyon moss]

Depends on your screen

Tv's generally don't have display port

[umbral heron]

Yeah, DP can carry audio just like HDMI
Just be cause TVs HDMI is still popular, PC mostly moved on to DP already

[trim crane]

and dp- hdmi cables

[umbral heron]

And if you have Nvidia GPU you don't have to worry, proprietary GPU drivers on Linux support HDMI 2.1 there

[nimble arch]

HDMI 2.2 will have more bandwidth than DP2.1

And we've getting closer to those 4K 240Hz TVs

LG are already up to 165 Hz with the G-series and 144 Hz on the C-series

[ashen spindle]

Dp 2.1 can do 4k240

But tvs and licensing means hdmi will continue to be used

[halcyon moss]

Preferably do not use those

[trim crane]

is it true AMD is starting to veer away from proprietary drivers

and could that cause more issues for HDMI on linux or nah

[umbral heron]

Not really
It's just that 2.1 is not supported, other than that there is no more issues with HDMI
Maybe they'll try to get license soon, so it will be supported for open-source drivers
But yeah, open-source was said at least the same amount of time as AI on last keynote
And on Linux open-source drivers are way better for normal users than proprietary ones anyway
Better ray-tracing support, HDR support, all that fluff...

[trim crane]

I mostly want ultra high bandwidth for ultra high refresh rate 1440p 10 bit

[trim crane]

🤞

[ashen spindle]

Nothing you need to concern yourself with as a user really

[trim crane]

I'm just tired of seeing those 1 or 2 pesky HDMI when I just wanna see all DP on some consumer GPUs

[umbral heron]

DP 2.1 works with 1440p280 10b, I tried

[trim crane]

UHBR13.5 right?

[crimson wigeon]

Not really, amdvlk is still superior if you want raytracing (but it has also nearly always been open source)

[umbral heron]

Yup
It can handle up to 1440p360 10b

[trim crane]

yay

I really like 1440p 360Hz

generally any refresh rate with a whole multiple of 60

upwards of 240

just a personal preference haha

[umbral heron]

10% difference between radv and amdvlk is not enough to make me swap to it

[crimson wigeon]

Luckily you can very easily mix and match for specific software

[umbral heron]

I like 280, because it splits nicely to 140 and 70

[umbral heron]

meh
It's not like I use raytracing anyway in the first place

[ashen spindle]

Well they also just switched to having radv being the main supported thing so it’s normal not all the software work has been done already but it should be the main thing going forward

[trim crane]

for me I like multiples of 60 because I watch a lot of 60FPS footage

and well, on other refresh rates it looks like a stuttery mess

despite me mostly gaming

[umbral heron]

G-Sync/FreeSync then

[trim crane]

nah, i dont really like vrr

i like blur reduction far more

I'm very weird i know

it's absolutely a must have for a game like geometry dash which has been my main for 10+ years

[rough patrol]

10 years of gd is crazy

last time i played it actively was like 10y ago

on the ipod touch

[viscid moon]

Same, but for me that was more like 12 years ago xD

[trim crane]

but since OLEDs don't really have a backlight, I will have to use a mod to integrate the CRT filter for OLEDs from blurbusters

[rough patrol]

back in the day i made a custom level that was rlly hard (at least for me)

never uploaded it cause i couldnt beat it

[trim crane]

i tried 360Hz OLED vs 360Hz IPS strobed and I can't play GD on OLED

too blurry

it's because sample and holding is a bit annoying for me for sidescrolling

Kinda why I have been holding onto my PG27AQN with ULMB 2 for dear life

[viscid moon]

I have that issue with text. Can't use OLED cuz text is too blurry and you get tired after some time, so for work it's shit and I need to read all the time... so I use IPS on my desktop, oled on the TV.

[trim crane]

I only tried text on PG27AQDM which was a WOLED ROG monitor, 1440p 240Hz, hated it

also tried gd, hated it

then tried QD-OLED 1440p 360Hz Alienware, was better

text was easier on the eyes for me

my only OLED display is my 3k 120Hz portable display

[halcyon moss]

soo.. im creating a backup of my laptop..
and its just node_modules...
node_modules everywhere...

deleting all the node_modules before backup

[trim crane]

hope all goes well

[pale sigil]

VRR has never been that great for me

But I suspect my monitors version is just shit

And you need free sync premium minimum

[trim crane]

for me i just never benefiteed from it

[old marlin]

wtf is "3k" now

that is even worse than calling WQHD "2k"

[umbral heron]

Uh... 3840x1080?

[old marlin]

so SUWFHD?

[trim crane]

problem is if I use VRR I have to give up ULMB 2

[umbral heron]

Also 2880x1080 seems like

[rough osprey]

bless you

[trim crane]

until G-SYNC pulsar comes out but thats nvidia exclusive which im not okay with

[trim crane]

2880x1800

16:10 display, but I run it at 1920x1080 because I need 120Hz

[old marlin]

you should name odd resolutions like that instead of making stuff up

[trim crane]

also because 16:9 over 16:10 any day

[umbral heron]

We should ban all displays with aspect ratio other than 16:9

[trim crane]

next time, sure thing

[old marlin]

ig actually that is WQXGA+

[trim crane]

on laptops i agree with this

[rough osprey]

that stuff already seems outdated

[old marlin]

nah, 16:9 is actually rarely ideally

on laptops you usually rather want something like 3:2

[trim crane]

Its just that so much media is in 16:9 and thats usually how I read resolutions

so I jist want 16:9 because it's consistent

[old marlin]

actually 3k is a thing and it is 2880x1620

[trim crane]

I got extra pixels

[old marlin]

seems kinda like it got named in retrospective when UHD got the 4k monicker handed down from actual 4k

[umbral heron]

So 1920x1080 should be 2K, not 2560x1440

[trim crane]

1.92k

[old marlin]

yes, that is why they don't name 2560x1440 2k

and 1920x1080 kind of got the 2k name stuck to it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

[umbral heron]

I know, but here way more often I see people referring to 1440p as 2K

[old marlin]

yea and it is wrong every time

can't wait until UHD ultra wides become a thing

and manufacturers will do their best to not call it UWUHD

[trim crane]

5k2k exists I mean

[old marlin]

LG is already dodging it

[old marlin]

yea but that is DCI UHD ultrawide

not consumer

[trim crane]

wasnt it 2880p and 1440p UW dual mode or smt

[old marlin]

wdym?

[trim crane]

the one optimum reviewed

[old marlin]

UWQHD is 3440x1440

[rough osprey]

lg calls their gaming stuff 5k2k

[old marlin]

💀

[rough osprey]

5120x2160

[trim crane]

that UW 4k

[old marlin]

no because 4k is defined by the horizontal being 4k pixels

[trim crane]

ah

that makes a lot more sense

I dislike being conditioned into thinking 2160p is 4k

[old marlin]

so UHD technically is not 4k since it is 3840, but then they added the names together for marketing

[rough osprey]

close enough

[old marlin]

hey, 4k is not just one resolution, DCI 4k is 4096x2160

[trim crane]

resolution and aspect ratio is all we need probably

[trim crane]

right

[umbral heron]

How I feel after reading GNOME blogs

[trim crane]

My ideal and semi realistic monitor for the nearish future (4-5 years maybe):

• 27" QDEL display
• 2560x1440 720Hz 10 Bit
• Hopefully a connector that has 120 or 160Gbps (I hope DP 2.2) with DP 2.1 + DSC support

I would have added dual mode 5120x2880 240Hz but pixel scaling may have looked weird on 1440p mode

[umbral heron]

720Hz
Why

[rough osprey]

5k and 1440p is perfect 4:1

[rough osprey]

ye kinda low

[trim crane]

Geometry dash + CRT shader = OP

[rough osprey]

atleast do 1000

[old marlin]

"I can't see it so nobody can"

[trim crane]

not a multiple of 60

[rough osprey]

and?

[frozen ingot]

your eyes don't see past 24fps

[old marlin]

also you don't need 120 or 160 Gbps for that, 100 should suffice

[old marlin]

you eyes don't see in frames to begin with

[rough osprey]

lets wait for real dp2.1 integration first lol

[nimble arch]

32" 4K 240Hz OLED 🙏

[trim crane]

Yeah I guess, but it's a good idea to have a connector that can laat for a longer time

[rough osprey]

240 in 2025

[trim crane]

it's already right up against the 100Gbps hypothetical limit

[umbral heron]

[frozen ingot]

you can only see in 4K

[old marlin]

well you wouldn't need more on the monitor side

[trim crane]

so the next connector should probably be 120Gbps or 160Gbps

[rough osprey]

just gimme vr / glasses with like 20k

[trim crane]

damn that would be something

[old marlin]

no, why would it

new HDMI is 96

[trim crane]

because we have DP80

[old marlin]

DP does not double

[trim crane]

100Gbps is like a 25% increase over UHBR20

[old marlin]

and?

not even sure what DP 2.1b does

presumably still 80

[trim crane]

DP 1.4 is 32.4Gbps, while DP 2.1 UHBR20 is 80Gbps

[old marlin]

which is not double

[trim crane]

more than double
