[umbral heron]

I want to switch to flip phone soon
All I need is TOTK auth apps and Discord, that'll run on any keitai-like with Android, and battery life will be better
And good and nice camera will last for ages

[astral haven]

🤷
You forced to buy new?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, it's a voucher for allegro, our Amazon-like

[astral haven]

What is the cheapest sigma 18-50mm lens on there?

[leaden kiln]

it's a bit of fun to shoot with my old dslr even if my phone usually takes better photos (though I hate how the colors come out on my samsung phone)

[astral haven]

Old DSLRs and used camera gear is great
But if forced to buy new its awful value

[leaden kiln]

yeah for sure

[umbral heron]

About ~500€

[astral haven]

No I mean which lens mount does it havr

[umbral heron]

Sony E-mount

[astral haven]

And how much is the a6400?

[umbral heron]

3400zł with 16-50 f/3.5-5.6 kit
So barely enough to fit on voucher

[astral haven]

Yea the 16-50 and 18-55 are both garbo

[umbral heron]

I mean I can grab lenses for the next bonus or just buy them
It's just a matter what camera to pick as a platform

[astral haven]

Bad way of thinking about it
The camera doesn't matter anywhere near as much as the lenses

[lyric hatch]

I'm looking at the Nikon z5 II ATM potentially with the 24-120mm

[astral haven]

Slightly different price range lol

[umbral heron]

[lyric hatch]

Lil bit

[umbral heron]

I don't even know what kind of lenses I'd want

[lyric hatch]

What do you want to shoot

[astral haven]

That's what I'd research first

[umbral heron]

Mostly landscapes/static shots and animals

birbs

[lyric hatch]

Landscapes and statics are easy, animals only easy if they stay still

[umbral heron]

Yeah, that what I was thinking of

[astral haven]

I'm trying to navigate this website but all it gives me is ads

[astral haven]

Also it looks like you can buy used stuff here?

[umbral heron]

You can, but voucher only applies to offers from stores
If you're buying from store you're buying with Allegro as middleman, so you can use vouchers, coins, free shipping, all that fluff
If you're buying from private accounts, no matter if used or new, Allegro doesn't interfere, it's only a transaction between seller and buyer

[astral haven]

Ah rip

[lyric hatch]

Sigma 18-50mm was what I was looking at getting when I was looking into Sony APSC

[umbral heron]

Aite, I'll read more about lenses tomorrow then, gotta sleep, work soon
Thanks for help

[lyric hatch]

Goodnight

[analog sinew]

dont make me consider cameras again

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/consider-the-following-rabbit-bunny-pet-gif-26758967

[analog sinew]

bnuy

[astral haven]

I made the mistake of buying first and asking questions later regarding cameras

[rough osprey]

bought a phase one and cant even use it as a webcam :/

[astral haven]

Sounds like its time to buy an alexa65 then

[analog sinew]

i researched it for weeks and learned everything i needed to know then didnt buy it

another day in the life of me

[rough osprey]

more of a imax guy

[astral haven]

Imax doesn't have as good digital video as alexa

[rough osprey]

should have told me that before i lended it for 10years

[astral haven]

Should have asked 🤷

[lyric hatch]

That's me but it's been like 3 years and I still don't have a camera

[rough osprey]

yall know any good medium format film to usb adapters

[analog sinew]

uhoh

[analog sinew]

yeee i can do that too

[lyric hatch]

Any day now I'll pull the trigger

[astral haven]

https://lasergraphics.com/director.html

[rough osprey]

is the latency good enough for my zoom calls

[astral haven]

No

[rough osprey]

😔

[astral haven]

Couple hundred million milliseconds

[lyric hatch]

@lofty pivot Jed would approve

[astral haven]

Literally 3 Sony lenses, 2 of them pretty bad ones
Everything else is 3rd party or different mount

[lyric hatch]

As long as it supports Sony E mount he's happy, pretty sure he just picked up a Tamron lens

[astral haven]

Still, more are mft than e
Mft is super awesome for lenses

Shame about the cameras and sensor size

[analog sinew]

we can buy each other cameras

[gentle osprey]

https://youtu.be/CN6SlMCZvtA?si=eDTn-7cSSz1pnwJu I'm sure I'm late but anyone having buyers remorse lol?

I saw this coming a mile away

[rough osprey]

i dont need more then 16gb so im good

[ashen spindle]

no buyers remorse because thats just steve speculating about rumours, we dont have any info about them coming

[gentle osprey]

True

just seen a bunch of reddit post recently of people having buyers remorse and i'm just laughing

[ashen spindle]

I mean thats just dumb becuase stuff will always be outdated at some point

[gentle osprey]

Yeah exactly

[balmy vector]

im just waiting to see the offical stuff

[steady sail]

i cant wait for 5090 Super with 48gb ram

[balmy vector]

it there ends up being more vram then ill most likely eye it a lil

[ashen spindle]

https://www.primeline-solutions.com/de/pny-nvidia-rtx-pro-6000-blackwell-workstation-edition/

[balmy vector]

not that one you dork

[gentle osprey]

I was gonna say get the workstation gpu lol

[distant tapir]

I don't have any. Happy with my 5070

[gentle osprey]

Good

Don't let Nvidia scare you

[steady sail]

i mean if i can get a 5080 waay cheaper maybe

but no, im gonna stick to my 9070

[ashen spindle]

yeah a 5080 super that improves the value like the 4080 super did is what I'm hoping for so I can tell people yes there is something above a 9070xt thats not the 5090 but still an option

[gentle osprey]

True

[distant tapir]

I'm never going to upgrade within a generation

[balmy vector]

this chats gonna get interesting when or if they release lol

[steady sail]

true we need RTX Pro 6000 Super as well

[balmy vector]

RTX pro 6000 super ti

[gentle osprey]

I'm just waiting for 6090, unless a 5090 somehow magically makes its way into my PC, I'm chillin for now

[balmy vector]

its either i go for super (if it happens) or 6090

more leaning twords 6090 currently

[gentle osprey]

I also am tempted to try that new LG Adjustable Curve 5k2k monitor at the end of the year/next year

waiting for Monitors Unboxed to get his aussie hands on it

[balmy vector]

you mean like similar to the corsair bendable?

[gentle osprey]

Yeah but way better

[balmy vector]

or is this something different

gotcha

[gentle osprey]

It has a motor in it

curves on it own

instead of man handling your monitor

[balmy vector]

but i like being dominant over my tech

[gentle osprey]

I bet you do

[balmy vector]

its how i crunch

[distant tapir]

I probably won't get a better graphics card now until there exists a monitor I want to upgrade to that warrants it

[gentle osprey]

Basically how I feel with my current setup, I wanna upgrade my monitor within a year or so and that would make me want a 5090/6090

5090 is pretty underwhelming to me tho

in terms of price:performance ratio

I need that 3090/ti > 4090 jump

[tribal dirge]

Naval exchange anyone? :)

[gentle osprey]

Lol I heard Tirade got one thru there

Vet benefits came in handy

[distant tapir]

Will you wait for the next batch of monitors early next year or will you choose from the current ones

[gentle osprey]

I'm waiting till more drop at the end of the year, so yeah next year basically

and wait for Monitors Unboxed to review them

He said that new LG Adjustable Curve 5k2k one might be his new daily driver, so waiting for him to get his hands on that for a review

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gx950a-b-gaming-monitor

[steady sail]

Its me but i dont think that we gonna see another kind of jump in performance again

[gentle osprey]

Yeah one can only hope

The 4090 was 60% faster than the 3090ti for a cheaper price or 73% faster than the 3090 for just a 7% price increase, I need that again lol

[lyric hatch]

I don't think we're seeing that again

[gentle osprey]

Me either

[distant tapir]

I'm probably waiting for LG's true RGB panels

[gentle osprey]

The Tandem OLEDs?

[ashen spindle]

oh we can easily see that, we just had one generation without a big gaming focus and on the same node

30 to 40 series was a big jump from samsung 8nm to tsmc 5

[gentle osprey]

Yeah true, was a completely different die

[ashen spindle]

also always an option we actually get a big die or dual die chiplet

like the 5090 isnt the full die thats on the rtx 6000 only

[gentle osprey]

Yeah that's also true

Dual die would be interesting

https://youtu.be/gKFsPeRVqaY?si=rgpIRYMJJkBLt8jv

4000 NIT OLEDS

[distant tapir]

No no. They are still woled

I mean the panels that do not have white subpixels

[ashen spindle]

honestly brightness is already more than enough

in sdr I have mine at 30% lmfao

[distant tapir]

SDR

[lyric hatch]

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I know, LG is calling it Primary RGB Tandem OLED

[spice warren]

why is my ctrl key staying activated until I press another key?

[balmy vector]

im at 100 brightness

[distant tapir]

SDR brightness is not HDR brightness

Never seen an oled that doesn't have room for improvement for HDR

Come back when they do 4 000 nits 100% window sustained

[ashen spindle]

HDR is too much for longer time xD

and still on win10 so I switch hdr off for desktop because its fucked otherwise

I wont complain about it doing more but its not the thing I'd most care about currently

[distant tapir]

Why do you stay on Windows 10?

[ashen spindle]

because I was too lazy to switch so far

didnt want to do it before raids or anything in case something breaks but since those are over for now I might do it the coming weeks

[distant tapir]

I like Windows 11 visually so I happily switched. I just hate how they made it harder to get into the more useful menus since they are now hidden behind the dumber ones

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I mean when it first came out Win11 sucked (some would say it still does probably) but they at least fixed the gaming performance issues

[rough osprey]

improve color brightness first

[ashen spindle]

yeah that too plenty of issues of performance of win11 so there wasnt really an incentive for me to switch

[gentle osprey]

Yeah

[lunar elm]

i hate how i dont have the fucking option to turn off HDR streaming, it fucks discord streams up

[distant tapir]

I really hope the RGB LG oleds will opt for a very typical subpixel layout to bring oled text clarity on-par with LCD one

[plush stirrup]

Why MSI motherboard ping so high 😢

[lunar elm]

Multiple Serious Issues

[rough osprey]

wow unusable

[plush stirrup]

tplink pcie adaptor got 1ms I think, it is a significant difference 😛

below 1 vs 2 - 3

[ashen spindle]

could just be they didnt care about optimizing ping implementation since its a special case of network packages

[plush stirrup]

I might try putting another antenna on it tomorrow, seems like it might fit

Damn, WiFi 7 is worse when using 5GHz and 6GHz compared to only 6GHz, that's about 250Mbps

[lone dune]

No one sells Powercolor Red Devil 6900XT OC edition waterblocks no more ?

[plush stirrup]

https://bykski.eu/products/en-waterblocks-gpu-powercolor-a-pc6900xt-x
This?

[lone dune]

Lol the question with Byski i heard they are bottom of the barrel lol

[plush stirrup]

could be, can't get rid of their stock hence why it's still for sale 😆 don't know many watercooling brands myself

[plush stirrup]

Here's the comparison to pushing 1.3Gbps on 6GHz alone:

[lone dune]

Lol

[astral haven]

Your router might not properly support mlo

Just because it works doesn't mean that the chip can handle it natively

[plush stirrup]

It's the U7 Pro Max

[ashen spindle]

router might also just have shit ping routing but has propery udp/tcp package handling

[astral haven]

Did I stutter?

[plush stirrup]

I'm pinging a vm, so it doesn't pass the router

[astral haven]

If its going over wifi, its touching a router

[plush stirrup]

how so?

[astral haven]

The magic that the wifi does to convert the various forms of waves in the air to packets on ethernet is a form of routing

[plush stirrup]

in that case you can consider many things a form of routing

[astral haven]

It may not be touching the router (although it probably is) but it has to touch a router

[astral haven]

I mean its still a super specific thing

[plush stirrup]

all those things aside, 250Mbps at 2000ms vs 1.3Gbps at 20ms is a big difference

[ashen spindle]

game channel is one further down

[astral haven]

Yep
I'd bet the mlo is being handled in software, so best to turn it off

[plush stirrup]

it is unifi, so who knows 😛

another issue is whenever I reboot my PC it doesn't reboot, it gets stuck on orange LED 😭

damn MSI

Seems to be this issue: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/orange-led-when-rebooting.391710/

[astral haven]

wow fake ai bs looks like fictional media of the same concept 🙀

[lunar elm]

[magic minnow]

Hard?

[crimson wigeon]

Soft

[fair gull]

idk if youre serious or not

[fair gull]

also thats not a router but AP

[plush stirrup]

Did I claim it was one?

[plush stirrup]

I am.

[plush stirrup]

My router has no WiFi, I responded with what I was connected to that has WiFi

It's a VM

[fair gull]

i havent seen any issues on my u7 yet ¯_(ツ)_/¯

or my u6

[plush stirrup]

could be MSI or unifi, with MLO I get 250Mbps and my SSH is laggy during it, with 6GHz alone, no MLO I get 1.3Gbps and no laggy SSH

[fair gull]

have you checked the other bands alone?

i dont actually know if a single band crapping its pants can cause mlo issues tbh

[magic minnow]

What keyboard does everyone use on android?

[fair gull]

japanese gboard

[umbral heron]

Gboard too, just normal

[fair gull]

normal gboard sadly doesnt work for my needs

[lament lake]

setup QOS @plush stirrup

[umbral heron]

Ever since Micro "Shit Midas" Soft touched SwiftKey it's been turned into shit and is unusable now with swipe typing which, oh irony, SwiftKey introduced
GBoard nice with swipe typing

[lament lake]

and enable band steering

[halcyon moss]

SwiftKey. I'm too used to it

[plush stirrup]

Not on this new motherboard, but on my tplink I could easily pull over 250Mbps on 5GHz, my phone can even do that another floor down.

[plush stirrup]

QoS is on the router, not AP right?

[lament lake]

yes

[fair gull]

i wonder why normal gboard doesnt let you set a background image for the keyboard but gboard japanese does

[plush stirrup]

So what would that help with local traffic?

[umbral heron]

it does

at least I can on mine

[lament lake]

I'm assuming the ping difference you're getting is when using bandwith, so qos should help with bufferbloat

[reef patrol]

QoS just gives certain kinds of data priority over all else.

So a video call gets priority over a file being shared around. Or if you want to ensure your game gets priority.

[plush stirrup]

I have 2.5Gbps locally the limiting factor is WiFi, all is fine from the router’s perspective 😉 since no data is going over my ISP.

[umbral heron]

@astral haven @lyric hatch
So - I read stuffs about lenses
Ideally I'd want some kind of macro lens, some kind of telephoto and some kind of wide-angle
And when it comes to used ones seems like Sony E and Canon RF for mirrorless are most popular around here
So a6400 would be a good pick I think

[lyric hatch]

18-50mm sigma and the Sony 70-350g would be a good combo

[analog sinew]

a6400 is deece entry allrounder camera from what i remember yeah

[umbral heron]

Oooo, I can use full-frame lenses on APS-C too

Although I love how they still support Memory Stick Duo
Sony, move on finally

[halcyon moss]

i have a special hate for memory stick duo

[lament lake]

yes, which unifi let's you pick :D

[reef patrol]

Most non-OEM routers do these days.

[umbral heron]

Hit it with OpenWRT

[lament lake]

He mentionned he has a pfSense virtual machine, pfsense supports qos

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/trafficshaper/index.html

[reef patrol]

Ok?

[lament lake]

Just trying to understand why he's getting ping deviation on his Wi-Fi and what solution he could have

[hasty thunder]

didn't they announce an insane router couple months ago?

[umbral heron]

OpenWRT One, but it's not really insane, and you can get a random TP-Link for 1/3 of its price and install OpenWRT on it, it'll be more or less the same

[leaden kiln]

I tried a bunch of keyboards at one point when I used grapheneos for a bit, but gboard is the only one I've found that has all the features I want, I like the split on gboard over samsungs too

I think I used gboard last time I used iOS aswell

[nimble arch]

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/07/ipados-26-preview-the-rare-software-update-that-makes-most-old-hardware-feel-new/

[magic minnow]

Im using the samsung one right now but not enjoying it because of the weak autocorrect

I buy a Samsung Ring or what?

[balmy vector]

Nah buy mango ring

[halcyon moss]

Mango ring?

[plush stirrup]

it is still only local, and QoS would only help if it goes over my ISP

on another note, this drive is empty, why is over 100GB in use 😭

hidden files are marked as shown, I put this thing in yesterday 👀

I found it using windirstat

[magic minnow]

You don't need 96gb ofg ram; said the lazy rabbit

[plush stirrup]

96GB not enough, needs 108GB page file 😛

[vagrant pagoda]

try wiztree its much, much faster

[plush stirrup]

I mean it found what was using my disk space

[iron wave]

I wonder when Android will update the version of Java their weird toolchain supports. It isn't even up to Java 9 and 25 is coming out soon.

[lunar elm]

yes i need 7 tabs of umamusume

[umbral heron]

just barely

[tribal dirge]

[errant widget]

The newer logitech ones arent bad, my first gpro I replaced them but the ultralight I got now I kept stock

They're pretty much like the skates I had on my old (3rd party ones)

[leaden kiln]

yeah looks similar
talking to staff seems like they've been trying stuff like that for a while

[errant widget]

Idk the ones I had were recommended within community

Long time ago

[spice trail]

okaythen,, i need suggestions for new skates and a new glasspad

[errant widget]

Corepad or sth?

[spice trail]

FBI getting ignored 😔

[spice trail]

just cause it looks so damn cool

[spice trail]

im sorry but.. allthe info i need is already here nd i cant be bothered to move every message over, if another discussion about tech starts here that we end up bothering i'll move over but pc_gears being talked in rn anyways soo

i guess but i also dont like the designs on tekkusai i cant tell if its ai or not but one of the other things they have looked like ai, plus ive been interested in wallhack for a year now

if they stole it and got rid of the design then im fully okay w it

if wallhack has the surfaces without ai then i'll take it :D

isthat so..

glsswrk has even more Ai wh

yeah thats what i thought

[leaden kiln]

I bought my third glasspad but usps shipping cooked me and it got sent back to the seller 😭

[spice trail]

im just gonna wait on wallhacks glasspad and get artisan skates

thinking fast

they're on different hands at least if u use qwerty 👴

[spice trail]

replacements for something thats 20 dollars every few weeks to months just isnt a good idea r all skates like that cause i might just haveto settle with base logitech skates on a glasspad

oo

alright maybe, whats wrong with skates that arent dots or are they just not as good

should i gt a PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 DEX

i g ot sidetracked

[leaden kiln]

I wonder what they'll do for limited drops now that they have 2 distinct textures
would they split each drop or only do drops for one pad at a time

My plans been foiled!
I got vouchers today
They are valid since 10th of August

[dull hollow]

stock logi skates on glass is not very good (they arent good on cloth either)
like what frogaims said, get obsidian airs
im currently using it on a GPX and the Hitscan Hyperlight

[regal valley]

Just a quick question, I have my Wooting 60 for about 8 months now and I was looking in the software when it suddenly started typing all sorts of random things. So I quickly unplugged the cable and grabbed a different keyboard, and that one worked fine. Then I connected my Wooting with another cable and now it works, but if I use the first cable again, it acts weird. Does anyone know what might cause this?

[spice trail]

Is wooting acceptable to you

Do i have to trade my 80he

[halcyon moss]

Ptfe 😮

Yeah but, I don't want it in me

It 's forever chemicals.

[dull hollow]

yummy

[halcyon moss]

Only way to get it out of your body is by bleeding

[spice trail]

I just chewed on my water bottle, am I at risk?

Apparently???

[bright grotto]

hello i have a question

is it possible for me to buy a daughterboard from wooting cuz i forgot to buy a daughterboard from kbd when i ordered the gt80 case 😭

i thought the daughterboard comes with it when u buy the wooting 80he module

yeah i thought it comes with the daughterboard

:(

[tribal dirge]

Nah that's a separate purchase usually

[bright grotto]

will they give me a free daughteboard

[tribal dirge]

I think if you ask wooting support kindly they might be able to send you a PO for a daugterboard

[bright grotto]

idek i dont read i just bought it that was my mistake 💀

[tribal dirge]

Well, kinda

But not available through regular means of purchasing stuff

[bright grotto]

i just thought maybe aliexpress has one but it might not be compatible

[tribal dirge]

Like I got a brand new one after my old one had some issues

[bright grotto]

thats true i kinda need it cuz i have everything except the daughterboard

LOL

[nimble arch]

[umbral heron]

Children actually like me for whatever reason

[ashen spindle]

makes sense, children often have wrong opinions

[umbral heron]

I was playing with my coworker's kid yesterday when he was on a meeting
When mum came for him he said that he had tons of fun

I mean he also said "I was playing with this funny lady" when pointing at me, but I digress

[lofty pivot]

they are right that social media and internet is probably destroying young folks education and learning, but zero chance this ban works lol

[ashen spindle]

yeah and youtube by far isnt the worst of it all lmao

[ashen spindle]

is there a way in firefox to have it default to a link? so lets say I type in pr it will offer the youtube link as first not as second suggestion?

thats how I had it in chrome and its such a muscle memory lmao

so even if the website doesnt start with it, like I dont type in you for youtube it should still first suggest the link not a google search, if thats a possible setting somewhere

[halcyon moss]

you dont want to have to press down.

[ashen spindle]

yes, muscle memory as I said

[errant widget]

FN+Menu

this is the default FN layer

[halcyon moss]

cant find it in settings unfortunately

[ashen spindle]

what?

I'm asking about a firefox setting not a keyboard thing

[errant widget]

yea nvm I misunderstood

for me it does automatically tho so idk

ah only for some sites 😹 no idea

[ashen spindle]

yes I explained that.. it does it if you type the letters of the website aka y for youtube

I want the same behaviour even if the pattern match is not the start of the URL like in my example

[halcyon moss]

thats what i have. and i have Fuse's behaviour

[ashen spindle]

yeah the default search options dont change it to how I want it

yes, it also shows me youtube as autocomplete when I type y in thats not what I'm looking for though

in chrome it completes the option even when its the youtube channel and not just the website youtube

[halcyon moss]

ooh

yeah no. maybe a plugin?

feels ai generated... but maybe this works?

real world utlisation of a 5090

[umbral heron]

Most 5090s be like

[frozen ingot]

people be like gotta have the latest and greatest, once installed they realize oh yeah games are shit nowadays

[nimble arch]

Switch 2 games are popping off at least 😔

The 20W handheld is clapping my 4090 for enjoyment metrics

[halcyon moss]

New amd thread rippers are monsters

[umbral heron]

Drinking 1kW

[halcyon moss]

~30% generational performance improvements alone are great but it's even a more compelling case when looking at the CPU power numbers. Across the span of all the benchmarks conducted, the Threadripper 9980X had a 287 Watt average to the 7980X at a 309 Watt average. Both had a peak power draw at 370~372 Watts. Meanwhile the 9970X CPU power use had a 296 Watt average compared to the prior generation 7970X at 286 Watts. Roughly put, similar CPU power usage but being able to deliver 28~30% higher performance on average going from the Threadripper 7000 to 9000 series processors. And drop-in compatibility with BIOS update for existing Threadripper 7000 series workstations.

[umbral heron]

https://www.techpowerup.com/339109/amd-threadripper-pro-9995wx-made-to-run-at-5-00-ghz-all-core-scores-186k-cb-multithreaded-at-947w

Even then - for 96 cores, less than 10W per core on full OC? This is insane

[vapid ruin]

30% increase, same power draw, drop in replacement. Damn.

[ashen spindle]

yesn't

sometimes just 2% depending on workload, if you want the gen5 lanes they added you likely need a new board

[exotic plinth]

Can switch 2 handle your ai girlfriend?

[vapid ruin]

yeah, with 4090 you can run AI with it and chat with your personal AI waifu without people spying.

[halcyon moss]

No, but the 9980x can

[umbral heron]

Can I have personal human waifu?

[halcyon moss]

i wonder how it does with actually big models...

[halcyon moss]

start dating

[vapid ruin]

I suggest waiting for DDR6 at least, its not always how fast the CPU but more on how fast the ram

[errant widget]

Do not recommend

[ashen spindle]

you want to wait till 2030?

[vapid ruin]

I mean, personal AI waifu by 2030 isn't bad

especially with how local AI can improve

[halcyon moss]

looking at this though..
quite feasable?
https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-threadripper-9970x-9980x-linux/3

even on a 9950x3d

[ashen spindle]

also its less the ram speed more the membw which is not just speed but also bus width and other factors

on DC gpus you have soldered lpddr or hbm, desktop aint competing with that

[vapid ruin]

yesh, which is why 5090 with 96gb of vram exist

[umbral heron]

play time

[halcyon moss]

i'd take a 5070 level performance with that amount of memory for local inferrance

[nimble arch]

I neither have nor want an “AI girlfriend”

[pale sigil]

@digital cliff

[pale sigil]

You play xiv no?

[nimble arch]

Patch 7.3 next Tuesday

Just as bad

[nimble arch]

No but I do play a bunny boy... make of that what you wish

[vapid ruin]

oo yeah

time to be batman

[nimble arch]

Time to cancel Silksong and play Deadpool VR

[unkempt lake]

i need to wait cuz
1- work
2- i dont have a facebook to claim the batman game or get past the first time setup

so im waiting for @glass stag to get back from work lol

[magic minnow]

Put it on moumou

@magic minnow

[unkempt lake]

i'm still not making a facebook

[frozen ingot]

well he got your money, he still won

[unkempt lake]

Also i didn't want a meta quest at first but then Nico told me i was being the fun police

And "paranoid"

And then i felt bad

he's a meta plant

[reef patrol]

[unkempt lake]

Xd

[vagrant pagoda]

So silk road is back on the menu XD

[leaden kiln]

not the S 😭

[vapid ruin]

S is still fine, just no mm level IPD adjustment

lower res, and no headphone jack

[leaden kiln]

I'm a bit of an s hater

[plush stirrup]

Fresnel lenses is enough to be one 😆

[vapid ruin]

Lmao, def the reason I got a quest 3

[plush stirrup]

Haven't tested the 3s myself but why did they ruin it with the lenses 😭

[vapid ruin]

cost saving, it's $300.

Q3 meanwhile is $500

[plush stirrup]

Possibly also so the Q3 is still interesting compared to the 3S, if lenses were the same there would be less reason to get the 3 over the 3s

[unkempt lake]

it was 300cad... with a free game worth 70cad

Normally 400cad

But yeah with the discounts it was worth it to get the S

If we like vr we'll put actual money into it and get a non facebook solution

It's more just an entry point

[nimble arch]

The only other entry point is PSVR2

[vapid ruin]

and pico 4 / 4 ultra

[unkempt lake]

Like literally i hate facebook and if im putting serious money into vr it won't be a quest

[plush stirrup]

Competition is pricey

[unkempt lake]

Hence why a cheap entry point is fine to see if its enjoyable

Play a few games

Hell the vr title selection is still limited

But it's enough to want to seriously give it a shot

[vapid ruin]

I like my quest 3 so I might get another wireless VR headset in the future. Though since I also want it to have colored passthrough and standalone stuff, my only other potential option in the future is Pico 5/Quest 4

[unkempt lake]

Like literally without the discounts and the free game wouldn't have bothered

[plush stirrup]

Face and eye tracking is my requirement :3 for all that integrated it's kinda only the quest pro or pico 4 enterprise afaik

[unkempt lake]

Fucking vr chat furry

i knew it

[vapid ruin]

come on, it's fun to see myself as my waifu!

[plush stirrup]

Eww imagine 😇

[vapid ruin]

That's lit why I like VR

[plush stirrup]

Couldn't be me

[leaden kiln]

I started with s $100 pcvr headset
have yet to even try standalone or wireless

[unkempt lake]

i was not gonna buy used

its disgusting

[plush stirrup]

facetracking in vrchat changes so much for me I don't think I can go back if I wanted to 🤣

[unkempt lake]

like i would buy used from someone i know but not from a stranger

[halcyon moss]

I started on the first occulus.. What a piece of crap :p

[vapid ruin]

Man, I want facetracking soo much

[unkempt lake]

its just hygenically wrong

[leaden kiln]

you can just get a new facial interface and clean the controllers ☠️

[nimble arch]

I'd be interested in trying iRacing in VR but equally triple monitors is immersive without having to wear the bulky headset for long stints.

[unkempt lake]

super uw

[leaden kiln]

🤔 headset that isn't bulky

[nimble arch]

You get a better view port from triple 16:9 displays than you do from a large 32:9

[unkempt lake]

i used to run 3x16:9

I'll never go back

[nimble arch]

There's one iRacing streamer on Twitch that uses triple 55" OLED TVs in their setup and it looks incredibly immersive.

[unkempt lake]

Its fucking janky with triple monitors

[ashen spindle]

bigscreen2 for racing setup

thats very far from bulky

[unkempt lake]

Dont do it @nimble arch

trust me as someone who ran triple for years

[nimble arch]

Me about to buy three LG C5s for a sim racing setup

[unkempt lake]

Super uw is so much better

[unkempt lake]

NO

its janky

Especially not on nvidia

Fucking nvidia surround made me want to blast my brains out

[plush stirrup]

I started on quest 2, that was shit especially wireless, got a quest 3, it started acting up after a year, but wireless was great, now got a quest pro, is also acting up but it's still great for what I paid for it

[unkempt lake]

just become amish

stop breaking tech

[plush stirrup]

It's great 😄 especially since it's just start vrcft and it works

[plush stirrup]

It's a curse I swear

[nimble arch]

iRacing is like the only game, last time I checked, that supported NVIDIA's surround tech. Simultaneous multi projection or whatever they called it.

[leaden kiln]

too bad you don't get any major discount upgrading from the 1
not like the 1 is bad though it's still a nice headset 🥹

[unkempt lake]

There's more than iracing

That's the problem

[nimble arch]

If I want deep on a sim racing setup, I'd only be playing iRacing and Le Mans Ultimate anyway

[vapid ruin]

Man, that's prop going to be the one thing I'll get after I get a job. Full vr setup with enough tracker to make me go cyberpsycho.

[leaden kiln]

⬅️ idiot who spent $500 on trackers and never uses them because it's a pita to put them on

[vapid ruin]

gimme

[plush stirrup]

Well you got me who spent 370eur for haritorax wireless ones, didn't like them, too much drift... so I spent 700eur on vives 😭

And I still barely use them because I'm lazy

[leaden kiln]

gimme $500

[plush stirrup]

I'd suggest vive trackers with a quest pro (or hopefully a better eye&ft headset)

[leaden kiln]

beyond 2e soon™

[vapid ruin]

that's what I have on my mind. But that's going to be like $800 for the tracker alone.

[vapid ruin]

noh

[plush stirrup]

Yep they're pricey if you got no base stations, but worth it, no drift and you can just turn them on and off and you don't need to recalibrate or reset like in slimevr

Though I'm hearing that slimevr is also getting better and better

[vapid ruin]

I'll wait, maybe someday a smart furry going to figure out how to do tracking like vive but cost like slime

[plush stirrup]

Maybe shiftall soon, though will be vive like costs

They want to add a camera that tracks their haritorax 2 trackers, for drift correction, so you basically have both advantages of imu and optical tracking. Should release in a few months, curious what reviews will say.

[vapid ruin]

that'll be nice

[vapid ruin]

it's like around between slime and vive to me.

if they can nail it, it'll be very very nice

[plush stirrup]

I hope they can!

[gusty kiln]

damn AMD and nvidia are basically at parity stock price wise

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah nvidia has almost 25 billion shares outstanding, amd only has 1.6

[gusty kiln]

oh I know, I'm a share holder for both . But usually when this happen people who hold one would sell to buy the other.

[ashen spindle]

its fun because based on what I think what profit AI can make, AMD is overvalued

compared to how much nvidia makes I think amd should be like 3-4x its current value lol

[gusty kiln]

yeah I feel AMD should be at a 1T marketcap at least by now

[fickle ore]

put your money where ur mouth is 😛

[ashen spindle]

there is a difference between thinking thats what it should be and what you think the market views it as

[fickle ore]

So you dont believe in yourself?

[ashen spindle]

I dont believe in the market having a understanding of tech

[fickle ore]

Doesnt need to, the earnings just need to show it

in the future

If you know something with good certainty, just go for it

Easiest money of your life 😄

[astral haven]

Holy crap NVIDIA is making such an insane amount of money
They are only around 60 years pe ratio
Amd is at 131 years

If you equalized future prospects, nvidia would double its lead over them
Absolutely incredible

[ashen spindle]

which is absolutely insane when you look at the hardware breaking at like insane rates and all stuff like that

also I guess thats why markets are happy with amd, with the alleged 50% ASP increase for instinct

[fickle ore]

Both are ~40 forward p/e

So lot of growth already baked in price

[ashen spindle]

but also I'm not big on them because this bubble has to pop at some point

[fickle ore]

what bubble

[vapid ruin]

AI bubble

[fickle ore]

not necessarily a bubble

might miss a lot of growth

[vapid ruin]

Nvidia got rich making meta and elom spends billions on gpu for AI training

[astral haven]

Yea but they all are making bug bucks too

[ashen spindle]

I mean just look at mistral and co. and their pricing and limitations because its just not profitable

[astral haven]

Mistral is trash tho

[vapid ruin]

From my test, mistral model have bad vibe

Deepseek better

And claude

[ashen spindle]

actually might've been claude not mistral

[vapid ruin]

Lmao

[ashen spindle]

idk I saw it on linkedin and ignored it because linkeding posts are so braindead

[vapid ruin]

I can see that. Claude opus is too expensive

I'm excited for deepseek V4/R2

[fickle ore]

So buy BABA?

[vapid ruin]

Deepseek is the cheapest yet most performant model ever for its price. Also uncensored which means you don't have to spend money trying to skirt around it

[astral haven]

The good shit is expensive, but getting cheaper every year

[astral haven]

Deepseek is more expensive than gemini actually

[vapid ruin]

Which gemini?

[astral haven]

TPUs are goated with the sauce

[vapid ruin]

Also im saying this based on how it feels to roleplay with the model, not actual task like programming.

[astral haven]

2.5 pro and flash both

Oh wait nvm deepseek dropped their pricing even further

Now about equal

[vapid ruin]

Gemini pro is lit 2x the price of deepseek v3. Flash is about same though

[astral haven]

Yea my b I was thinking old prices

[vapid ruin]

Also, unlike Gemini, if deepseek stop hosting their V3 for V4, there's still other hoster

Can't say the same for gemini though

[astral haven]

More expensive to self host tho

[magic minnow]

I think I might get the nothing watch 3

[vapid ruin]

There's lit a complaint about them removing 03-25 forcing people to use the newer one which isn't as performant for their task.

[vapid ruin]

I mean like, other hoster from open router. There's a lot of company that hosting deepseek for about same or even lower.

[astral haven]

Thought native was cheapest at native precision but ok

Cheapest Is 4b and is 89c, cheapest 8b is $1.5

Gemini is $1

V3 does have the advantage of being native not reasoning so its faster and more creative
But its a lot dumber

Stands to reason that the smarter models will be the ones doing more useful work for at least a while

[wheat plume]

WAIT OK THIS IS SICK

I may need to try this on my laptop

Are they deprecating Neon then?

This is gonna piss a lot of people off :')

[umbral heron]

Neon will still be supported as Ubuntu spin
Just that they want to develop their own base I guess
Given that it's based on Arch packages, and so is SteamOS, and KDE and Valve work really closely nowadays it's no wonder

[wheat plume]

Having a dedicated distro was a goal for quite a while

Guess SteamOS did speed it up xd

[pale sigil]

AI voice lol

[umbral heron]

But what's cool they said that all components will be released under GPL 2.0
And that if you don't want AI, you can just let them know and they'll send you phone with pure Android

[wheat plume]

Oooo wtf
They copied Time Machines UI?! Hek ok that'll be cool to see

[umbral heron]

KDE has changed a ton since 6.0 released

[wheat plume]

Honestly
Kinda wanna give this distro a try

Haven't used plasma since before 6 released

I am getting real used to Fedora though
So not sure...

[umbral heron]

Get Fedora KDE then

[wheat plume]

I'm thinking Aurora tbh
Bluefin is FANTASTIC and Aurora is the Plasma version of it

https://getaurora.dev/en

Actually
Maybe I'll swap to Aurora once Fedora 43 drops and it's been updated to it
I've had issues with Plasma desktop when upgrading between versions before

First one, second one, or the bad one?

[tribal dirge]

its an MT8781

so you're stuck with 4G, no 5G or mmWave

which SUCKSSSSS

I do like the idea of a small phone, but that aspect ratio might not work with a lot of android apps

[crimson wigeon]

Oh, close enough. I said 6580 because it's what a lot of cheap fake clones use

[topaz fog]

Advantages over aseprite?

[halcyon moss]

Is mmwave really a thing?

[umbral heron]

No idea, just thought you'll find it interesting

[sour olive]

so i need help if anyone can

my keyboard (wooting 60he) just started making clicking sound in my headphones and none of the keys work….

[ashen spindle]

Unplug it and replug it, if that’s not solving it #1019755933959733258

[sour olive]

fixed it, it was keyboard filter ^^

[digital cliff]

it's in pre-alpha so

enough reason to install anything if it's lana we are talking about

oop my mistake, aurora is stable software, I thought the convo was still ongoing about kde linux

Xaizone used a ULMB 2 monitor and an AMD GPU at the same time. I wonder if he had any experience using ULMB 2 and AMD on Linux

I have updated my PG27AQN's firmware to MCM104 (latest) so I don't have to worry about replugging an NVIDIA GPU into my system

[silver egret]

anyone know if exitlag isnt placebo and actually works?

[ashen spindle]

probably works but also just use a different free one that changes your routing

[silver egret]

like what?

[ashen spindle]

just whatever free vpn you want

cloudflare warp, protonvpn idk

but also it only matters if you get really high ping on something like a server in your country

its not able to give you magically good ping from the US to EU servers

[unkempt lake]

when are you replaxing that shit phone

Its so bad

[pale sigil]

Camera

[sudden imp]

Poke it

[pale sigil]

A piece of adhesive is missing from my kit

So lame

[wheat plume]

Gaming PC / laptop
Use Bazzite
It's the same family as Aurora and Bluefin

[pale sigil]

@unkempt lake also I only really paid £10 for the repair because Google refunded the phone if you remember

[unkempt lake]

OOO

Forgot

[pale sigil]

I missed this phone

I missed pixel os so much

[pale sigil]

Hmm, how does one dispose of a preggo battery

[analog sinew]

🫃

[reef patrol]

You put it in the battery bin like any other battery.

[pale sigil]

Can I send it to you?

[reef patrol]

[pale sigil]

[gusty kiln]

[unkempt lake]

Welp its too late lol

Its already scratched after a day xD

[unkempt lake]

It's the kinda shit you don't expect to need when the thing literally comes with a glasses spacer and shit

And literally a day's worth of usage

[oak tiger]

I am not sure if this is the right spot for this inquiry; however, I am experiencing an issue where the Enter key on my 60HE keyboard only functions when the Ctrl key is also pressed.

Good ol' restart fixed the problem 😭

[unkempt lake]

Hmmmm

What did you change since last time

Also if you still live with your brother (or close) swapping your gpus out temporarly could be an idea (i dont think he'll complain about being upgraded to a 4090 for a few days). That way you can officially rule out the gpu as being the problem

Because like it really makes me think of a gpu issue and we did all the troubleshooting for that but you have other wierd shit going on with usb peripherals acting wonky which makes me think it's possibly motherboard related

You did update your bios + chipset drivers and uninstalled that rgb controller garbage right? @magic minnow

Like i told u

[magic minnow]

Yeah

[unkempt lake]

And we had already done the gpu troubleshooting so i say

Borrow your brother's amd card

If possible

[magic minnow]

I'm not close to the house

[unkempt lake]

Darn

[magic minnow]

I have the MATX A3 as well

-3- but you said it couldn't be power supply issue right?

[unkempt lake]

No

Your psu is fine

[magic minnow]

I wonder if it's just the motherboard cause if it's GPU then I'm done with gaming

[unkempt lake]

I did say you could lower the power limit of the card and see if it still crashes

As well if it's the card going bad that's gonna downclock it

[magic minnow]

Oh haven't tried that

[unkempt lake]

And we can see if its stable at lower clocks

Also you never sent me a screenshot of the crash in event viewer like i asked you to

Go to rhe time of the crash and see if you can find it

In event viewer under administrative events

[magic minnow]

I'll do it tomorrow ;3; since I gotta sleep for work

[unkempt lake]

its what you said last time

[magic minnow]

[unkempt lake]

You should actually do it this time :P

so i can help you more

Doesn't mean that it won't work

XD

[gentle osprey]

Oh I know lol

Just no more driver updates

Unless their last driver update for it makes it kill itself

like Apple Products

The "Batterygate" controversy back in like 2016

[unkempt lake]

ehhhh

[ashen spindle]

10 series is too outdated for new games anyway so not a loss

[gentle osprey]

Oh I agree lol

[unkempt lake]

The only issue i have with that is that it wasn't explained well enough to the customers

Because I don't think throttling due to low battery health is a bad thing

That battery needs to be replaced anyways

At least all of it lead to basically every manufacturer being transparent about battery health instead of just being like hey guess if your battery is bad of not

it literally prolonged the life of the device and wasn't a bad thing it just was not explained at all to the customer

Literally just a notification like

[gentle osprey]

Yeah only took like 32 lawsuits for them to explain it better

[unkempt lake]

"Your battery is defective please service"

[unkempt lake]

Yeah but it's not like they made the device unusable

I get why customers were annoyed and did sue to make sure there'd be more transparency, nothing wrong with that, but spinning it like it made the device unusable when it literally made it last longer is kind of a joke

[gentle osprey]

= sarcasm btw

[spice latch]

Yo

[unkempt lake]

I have an old iphone x with a 51% battery health in my drawer. Thing lasts barely 30 mins xd

Does anyone have a PlayStation because I’m trying to use my keyboard on my ps5 and it’s not working. Maybe it’s something to do with my keyboard profile? Idk honestly
