[distant tapir]

Sony MDR-Z1R for example. 💩 headphone

[misty matrix]

well yeah, but we are talking about just frequency response

right?

[distant tapir]

Yes

[misty matrix]

also, im sure that you would be able to pick that up whilst listening to them if you are someone who is bothered by that :P

like, eq is great, but I'd say its just to make a headphone that sounds good to you sound even better

iff you dont like a headphone pre eq, I wouldnt dive in and try to "fix" it with eq

[umbral heron]

80
250 is better with amp and may be a bit too quiet when plugged to laptop/phone

[distant tapir]

It can absolutely fix it though

[hushed herald]

i wont use them on a Laptop or phone just on my Home setup

[distant tapir]

A terrible tonality can be completely fixed. But resonances cannot

[umbral heron]

I'd still go with 80

[misty matrix]

well, here I would just say that our stances divert and thats that

[distant tapir]

I got new earpads for my headset which destroy the sound, but they are more comfortable. After EQ it doesn't really matter that they destroyed the tonality since I fixed it

[hushed herald]

i just need somthing to plug and play because i have no clue how to eq shit KEKW

[misty matrix]

its usually not that simple, some driver/driver assembly configurations at times will simply never produce results that may be desireable

like for example, if I listened to hd600s, and thought to myself

oh wow those are really great, but I am missing so much bass

ah whatever, ill just eq that in!

[distant tapir]

The headset I'm talking about has low distortion so no problem

[misty matrix]

doesnt work

at the end of the day, if it works for you thats great

[umbral heron]

HD560S will sound nice also without EQ, so

[distant tapir]

HD600 is a low-bass high-distortion headphone

[umbral heron]

At the end of the day
What matters if you like your headphones
If you do, that's it, you won

[misty matrix]

imo, thats why its nice to try a fair bit of headphones in person, and then settling on what you like the most

[umbral heron]

Yup, going to local store is a good idea
After all, if they don't fit, they sound like shi

[misty matrix]

mhm

[distant tapir]

Be careful of store tests. It is easy to be impressed in the short term by bright headphones due to the extra focus in some frequency ranges only to end up disliking it after extended listening at home

[magic minnow]

AirPods Max

[distant tapir]

They work poorly with Windows

[nimble arch]

New 3-in-1 chargers from Belkin that support this

Might grab myself the folding stand for travel purposes

It’s also a bit cheaper

https://www.belkin.com/uk/p/3-in-1-foldable-magnetic-charger-with-qi2-25w/WIZ036myBK.html

[magic minnow]

I use this one
https://nomadgoods.com/products/ac-adapter-65w-usb-c-watch-edition

[magic minnow]

Gonna try it out

[nimble arch]

I'm waiting for the stable release(s) in a few weeks

[magic minnow]

Should be on September 9th I feel same day as the event

[nimble arch]

It's usually the week after the event

iOS on the Monday or Tuesday, new iPhone on the Friday

I would expect the 16th this year

[unkempt lake]

pokemon go has been banning people on ios 26 beta lol

[magic minnow]

I used to location spoof so hard on iot

it

[nimble arch]

So that's how I can get someone banned

Why would you get banned for saying nice?

[magic minnow]

[minor citrus]

I guess I didn't try hard enough during my vacation to get banned then?

[rough osprey]

wtf

[steady sail]

yes

[rough osprey]

from where to where is that shipping

[steady sail]

maybe from Japan or US to Hungary

[vagrant pagoda]

wher do you live, the moon?

[steady sail]

Hungary

[gusty kiln]

Man you get Hella screwed

Faster shipping is also only like 60 more

[old marlin]

totally worth it

[old marlin]

there is some EU stock

nvm that one is sold out

there was some EU stock 3 months ago

[steady sail]

[old marlin]

"well priced" EU stock ran out 6 months ago

aka ~400€

after that it was 500€

120€ case btw

[gusty kiln]

But muh licensed art

[steady sail]

last time when it was in stock it costed 606 euro

[old marlin]

the same exact art 5 times

[gusty kiln]

Is the Y40 even the good hyte case?

[old marlin]

debatable

forces vertical GPU

which kinda already makes it bad imo

[gusty kiln]

It does have vents on the psu shroud at least

[old marlin]

I think they all do

but that still ain't good

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[distant tapir]

What's going on here? It's like I'm watching an optical illusion

[gusty kiln]

It's an opening

[old marlin]

plastic on the panels

[gusty kiln]

The back panel have lots of punchouts

[old marlin]

it's not punchouts

[gusty kiln]

It is plastic or metal?

[old marlin]

I hope that image has the bottom fan flipped

[old marlin]

both afaik

[gusty kiln]

Ahh

[old marlin]

metal panel with a plastic inner piece

[rough osprey]

a fixed riser cable

wow

[old marlin]

shows it a bit better

[gusty kiln]

I see

[old marlin]

yea you only get half height slots otherwise

[rough osprey]

i will forever put my pc under the desk

[old marlin]

have mine on the desk atm

but under desk is prob better in general

[gusty kiln]

I want to have it in another room during the summer

[rough osprey]

luxury

[gusty kiln]

But need a patch panel and long cables

[old marlin]

ideally yea

[rough osprey]

they gotta send my flux pro faster

[old marlin]

that is a wild looking case

[gusty kiln]

Noctua edition?

[rough osprey]

hell nah

[gusty kiln]

[rough osprey]

thats too ugly even for under the desk

[old marlin]

hey I said wild

not necessarily good

[gusty kiln]

Looks like something inwin would make

[rough osprey]

No i meant the noctua version

[old marlin]

oh lol

[old marlin]

eh, not quite

inwins regular cases are very angular

[rough osprey]

still not sure how much money i should spend on fans

the noctua version gonna be expensive af with all them g2 fans

[old marlin]

oh

they have a tou 2 inspired case now

https://www.in-win.com/en/gaming-chassis/prism

[gusty kiln]

5 pack of arctic p12 pro

[steady sail]

i love noctua brown

[old marlin]

I love asus TUF + 3 fans equalling a 200% upcharge

3 fans and a shroud for like 1000 bucks

[ashen spindle]

dont forget its also always on the xx80 skus which is generally the worst value at msrp already

[gusty kiln]

Way to much glass for my taste

[old marlin]

seen the tou 2?

[rough osprey]

isnt that a bit too much for 1 corner without a rad or sum

[old marlin]

those are semi mirrors or whatever they call them

[gusty kiln]

Jeez

[old marlin]

so when the lighting is off it is just mirrors

and when you turn it on you can see inside

was absolutely stupid expensive tho

[gusty kiln]

Imagine having that next to your glossy oled monitor

Reflection city

[old marlin]

glossy oled monitors were not even a concept for gaming setups at the time

[steady sail]

gib me this

[vagrant pagoda]

the forehead on that thing lol

[old marlin]

that thing has a selfie function

[gusty kiln]

Bubble boy case

[old marlin]

who tf is this case for

[vagrant pagoda]

the screen is so low

[gusty kiln]

I want an O11 but shittier

[old marlin]

180€ btw

[old marlin]

not quite O11 but close

[steady sail]

cube W

[old marlin]

btw aerocool has a case that I almost like now

[vagrant pagoda]

the front grill wont even stop fingers

[old marlin]

nope

[gusty kiln]

I've been looking some of silverstone recent releases

[old marlin]

also no mesh

[rough osprey]

is that nzxt

[old marlin]

as weird as ever

[old marlin]

I literally said who made that case in the message you replied to

[rough osprey]

ik

it has their design vibes

[old marlin]

would not be surprised tbh

nzxt had a bit of an exodus afaik

and aerocool is part of a large brand umbrella

idk whatever PGW calls themselves now

[steady sail]

tbh i kinda wanna get the H6 Flow

[gusty kiln]

I wouldn't mind the Seta h2

https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/seh2_b/

[old marlin]

yea their cases look quite good since the last larger refresh imo

[reef patrol]

Mmm.... glass on glass. I see no way for that to end in disaster

[old marlin]

not if you do it right

[rough osprey]

wish they made the flux pro with a mesh panel

[gusty kiln]

Yeah would have been endgame for me

[old marlin]

no ALTA D1?
https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/alta_d1/

[gusty kiln]

Isn't that like 500 usd?

[rough osprey]

they do have the flux se but that has other design changes

[old marlin]

yes

[old marlin]

you mean mesh side?

[rough osprey]

instead of glass yes

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[old marlin]

ah

I think metal would be preferred tbh

[steady sail]

imagine the Dual 5090 setups

[old marlin]

instead of mesh

yo wtf that actually looks kinda dope

[gusty kiln]

I would love to see what a fractal north v2 look like

[gusty kiln]

Is the skull the reservoir?

[old marlin]

no it's just there

[gusty kiln]

[rough osprey]

time to glue sound dampening stuff on the glass

[old marlin]

I mean the case is cool but it always looks empty

[gusty kiln]

Just vibing

[old marlin]

• I would have moved the motherboard a bit lower if I had the choice

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

Eps12 cable can be annoying in a tight corner

[old marlin]

thick rads as well

but that is the PSU shroud at the bottom

enthoo pro issue ig

[gusty kiln]

Side wats psu?

[old marlin]

yea

makes the case stupid tall and gives you weird negative space at the bottom

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[old marlin]

evolv X/S2 is also quite cool imo

[gusty kiln]

https://thermaltakeusa.com/collections/chassis/products/ax700-super-tower-chassis-ca-11b-00f1nn-00

[old marlin]

TT

disregarded

[gusty kiln]

[old marlin]

also 380€ jfc

[rough osprey]

could they atleast open the door for some photos

[old marlin]

nope

[rough osprey]

secret

[gusty kiln]

What's the name of that case company who made large cases like that

[old marlin]

blurry as hell

caselab

https://caselabs.se/

[gusty kiln]

Yeah them

[rough osprey]

corsair also has big ahh cases

[old marlin]

atm still busy just making replacement parts iirc

[old marlin]

yea which are also mad expensive and stupid layout wise

[rough osprey]

https://assets.corsair.com/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1726612789/products/Cases/9000D/Content/BLACK/Panel-3-Image-Carousel/Frame-2/Frame02_2x.png

[gusty kiln]

Need a forklift for that

[old marlin]

this thing is kinda cool

[gusty kiln]

Yeah the master series look clean

[old marlin]

they have thick rads with push pull and the front will still look kinda empty

their names tho

[rough osprey]

need front mounted mora 600 in the case

[gusty kiln]

Feels like phantek had been kinda quiet lately

[old marlin]

Much like most other recent Cooler Master releases, the MM731 is compatible with MasterPlus+, which is also referred to as MasterPlus, but not to be confused with MasterPlus, which is older and incompatible with the MM731

Cool Master MasterPlus plus

[rough osprey]

they trying to release the t30 140mm since 20 years

[sudden imp]

Awful naming scheme

[gusty kiln]

The good ole intel strat add more +

[old marlin]

they have also been rebranding their entire thing

new logo etc

they might have had a restructuring

[gusty kiln]

Gunna be BIS when it does come out

[gusty kiln]

Ahhhh

[old marlin]

just like cooler master peripherals

[gusty kiln]

Cm had that one shape the people like them poof

[old marlin]

they had the NV series recently tho

[old marlin]

I mean wasn't for a lack of effort

[gusty kiln]

The tiny ergo with a ring finger rest

[old marlin]

they def tried

the 710 also was decently popular

[rough osprey]

i love september for product releases

[old marlin]

had a lot of spinoffs with the same shape

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[old marlin]

the spawn

[gusty kiln]

https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?si=4Fifu_VyJqzX8n1u

[old marlin]

not related to the zowie AM spawn

[gusty kiln]

Zowie has slowly caught up

[old marlin]

also kinda funny how the only guy a zowie mouse is named after that people might still know is heaton

[gusty kiln]

Though I've never actually seen someone use a U2

[old marlin]

nobody knows SpawN

maybe neo ig

[gusty kiln]

Lol

[old marlin]

[rough osprey]

cant wait for apple and logitech releases

[old marlin]

don't even think he uses the FK anymore

[gusty kiln]

What is Logitech teasing?

[old marlin]

prob garbage

[gusty kiln]

[rough osprey]

should be the release of new gaming mice and maybe mx master

[gusty kiln]

Mx master 4 pics are already out

[rough osprey]

i just wanna test superlight mini

[old marlin]

can't wait for GPW number 5 or something

[gusty kiln]

I'm fine with my gpx2 atm

And mx master 3

For work

[old marlin]

maybe an mx master without rubber sides

[gusty kiln]

Oh yeah....

[rough osprey]

ye but gotta atleast try it in smaller

[gusty kiln]

It collected a lot of dust while I was in vacation

[old marlin]

watch them make it shorter but fatter

[rough osprey]

although not sure if i should have hope in them upgrading internals yet

[gusty kiln]

Roughly 20x10 cm hands

[old marlin]

logitech and a good shape

[old marlin]

bet, same sensor but rehashed again

[rough osprey]

superlight is best shape ever (imo)

[old marlin]

so higher dpi but then actually performing worse

[old marlin]

yea I heavily disagree

[rough osprey]

atleast use the new nordic

[old marlin]

nordic has no sensor

and the mcu is not the issue

[rough osprey]

ik

[gusty kiln]

I think the vaxee Xe might be the best shape for me but the v2 didn't come out in time

[rough osprey]

but having the newer one would make sense

after like 2 years

[old marlin]

yea but makes no difference in the end

[rough osprey]

battery lifee

[old marlin]

iirc the actually good one was slated for 2027

[old marlin]

i snooze

[rough osprey]

[old marlin]

it's symmetrical so it is already not the best it could be by default

[rough osprey]

we need slightly non symmetrical mice

not just symmetric or ergo

[old marlin]

NP-01S is decent

[gusty kiln]

I do want to try the dex

[old marlin]

all mice are ergo

or should be at least, some people make mice without a smidgeon of a clue what ergonomics are

[rough osprey]

[old marlin]

deathadder V3 Hyperspeed is still the best atm for me personally

razer hate in 3, 2, 1

[rough osprey]

they green 👎

blue gang 🔥

[old marlin]

there is not a green spot on the mouse

[thick ermine]

Only thing I don’t like about deathadder or viper line is synapse. If you can get past that, they’re great mice

[old marlin]

imo synapse is better than ghub

by far

[gusty kiln]

I do want a fully software-less mouse for my next mouse

[thick ermine]

Oh absolutely

[old marlin]

every time I used ghub it has been a buggy mess

[rough osprey]

😸

[thick ermine]

And both are better than steelseries gg and that’s better than iCUE

[rough osprey]

but you dont have to use ghub

[old marlin]

you bet your ass a logitech mouse also lights up green when charging

[old marlin]

yea you can also setup a mouse with synapse and then yeet that software off of your pc

[thick ermine]

Joke’s on yall, my mice is wired so doesn’t light up for charging

[rough osprey]

nah i mean onboard memory manager

[rough osprey]

rip

[thick ermine]

Whenever I have ever plugged in Razer peripherals, it automatically downloads synapse.

[old marlin]

no

it auto downloads if you tell it to

[rough osprey]

it opens a window

[old marlin]

also blame that on stupid customers and windows

[thick ermine]

Mine has never given the option. Now, it doesn’t automatically download chroma

[rough osprey]

How about we have gaming mice count as storage devices too so u open the software on the device itself

like a usb stick

[old marlin]

no it asks you if you want to install it

it doesn't install shit on it's own

[old marlin]

increases BOM just to have a woefully out of date version with your device

[balmy vector]

Hey id put icue above steelseries gg

Gg has bloat galore

[old marlin]

steelseries gg was such an anti-update

it is just garbage tacked onto engine 3

[rough osprey]

we got money

[thick ermine]

I ain’t dumb…it downloaded immediately when I plugged a razer deathadder v2 in. No prompts, just started downloading synapse.

[rough osprey]

i wish ghub would actually reliably detect when u open a game that isnt on steam

[thick ermine]

I’ve had nothing but issues from any Corsair software on my old pc that had a 14900k in it. When I swapped to amd, it was better but still had the occasional connection issue.

yeah this is just nontent

"hey guys lets make an article out of one forum poster guessing random shit"

[empty wren]

deck 2 design

[old marlin]

that is almost as bad as the NX concepts

[empty wren]

Prototypes for the first

[old marlin]

[old marlin]

that is actually missing the one bringus had?

[empty wren]

Hmm

? This

[old marlin]

ye

[empty wren]

Looks like a Nintendo switch valve controller hybrid with the buttons

[unkempt lake]

I've seen people ask in here xD

Despite that

[old marlin]

when have we had deckard leaks where people were saying "it comes out this year"

[ashen spindle]

then post a valve guy saying its not coming soon not a article thats entirely fabricated from a forum post xD

[old marlin]

2023?

[empty wren]

I know this looks like a mini DVD player but this was a cool design in my opinion

[unkempt lake]

Nvidia shield

I had the shield tablet

[empty wren]

Portable

[unkempt lake]

It was cool

[empty wren]

That musta been an actually good tablet

[unkempt lake]

It was and then someday it just never powered back on

Replaced the battery, nada

[empty wren]

Oooo maybe flash chip ran out of cycles and it got stuck in Qualcomm rescue mode

Still a shame Nvidia did not make new ones

I think the shield TV is still a thing though

[gusty kiln]

Wished they continued making those

[gusty kiln]

Are the tube compatible with Google tv?

[empty wren]

Would be crazy powerful if they did could be a proper android laptop even

[empty wren]

It may be it comes with assistant

Actually they said android tv

Nevermind

[unkempt lake]

BF6 launch specs

[empty wren]

Nice to see Intel cards part of these now

[rough osprey]

why does windows go krszsskrksz when pausing / starting audio

[unkempt lake]

Also have meme https://mashable.com/article/google-android-sideloading-apps-security

Like

Wtf is the point of owning an android phone if they restrict shit just like apple

[ashen spindle]

how many recycles do you want, thats been talked about multiples times already

[empty wren]

Cannot really downgrade on iOS can on android

Also if they did that it could maybe not be aosp

[old marlin]

aosp is ded

[ashen spindle]

you can self sign, most people dont even sideload anyway

[empty wren]

Aosp was never really used anyways

Oems did their own enhancements

Google did use aosp on the Nexus line

[unkempt lake]

You can do that on ios as well

So literally shit's just gonna be like sideloading on ios

[ashen spindle]

maybe if you have a mac

[unkempt lake]

There's a way to do it on windows

But yeah its easier with a mac

[empty wren]

Cydia impactor would work I think

https://www.techpowerup.com/340421/sapphire-prepares-global-launch-of-nitro-motherboards

[unkempt lake]

Sapphire ain't exactly great

Until they improve their warranty process in canada

I'm not interested

@gusty kiln

[gusty kiln]

Not everyone can be based like evga

[unkempt lake]

All their warranties are handled by a third party company who literally charges you administrative fees to ship your crap to china

[ashen spindle]

dont need customer support if your hardware is just better and working

[unkempt lake]

It's fucking pathetic

[ashen spindle]

also, sounds like canada skill issue

[gusty kiln]

Unfortunately how most are doing it now

[unkempt lake]

Msi has a repair center in canada

[balmy vector]

And i have a bag of candy corn

[gusty kiln]

Ew candy corn

[balmy vector]

Yum candy corn

[unkempt lake]

Most others have you ship your stuff to california

Directly

[rough osprey]

only bad repair experience i had was with gigabyte

[gusty kiln]

[unkempt lake]

Asus does that

So does xfx

[balmy vector]

Does moumou

[unkempt lake]

moumou warranty

how long is the moumou warranty

[balmy vector]

Until you stop giving her treats

[gusty kiln]

How old is moumou

[unkempt lake]

14

[old marlin]

evga customer support outside the US was garbage

[gusty kiln]

Oh wow that's actually quite old

[vagrant pagoda]

lol 90gb "at launch"

[gusty kiln]

Rip

[unkempt lake]

My oldest cat lived to 19 years old

[gusty kiln]

Shame that thing didn't exist when I was shipping for a nas

[analog sinew]

google playstore is such a fucking piece of shit software

it never gets the number of updates correct

and there isnt even anything to update and it pops up

how hard is it to implement a counter when you're a multibillion dollar company

[crimson wigeon]

Very

Because you should just consoom and let it silently autoupdate apps in the background

[analog sinew]

autoupdate is the devils work

[nimble arch]

Maybe they can get Gemini to fix it?

[astral haven]

Never had that issue

What does it say?

Mine wouldn't update apps until I realized it just doesn't update deep sleeping apps
I turned that feature off and now all my apps get updated, tho I have to open the play store to force them to update when they are sleeping

[gusty kiln]

Any impact on battery life?

[magic minnow]

Weird

[astral haven]

My battery life was completely screwed before then, been trying to fix it and this didn't change anything

[gusty kiln]

Rip, still on S23U?

[astral haven]

Was on 21u then switched to 24u, never had 23u

[gusty kiln]

Oh

My s24u battery had been fine might replace in another 1-2 years

How'd you screw yours up?

[astral haven]

Dunno

Haven't really changed how I use my phone around when the battery life became a lot worse

[gusty kiln]

@astral haven so what have you been up to? Haven't seen you in a bit

[astral haven]

Work has been busy, so I haven't really had downtime during the day

My current new toy is oneui 8
And I'm not a huge fan of the new Dex 🙁

[gusty kiln]

Wait what? I haven't noticed anything new, what changed?

[astral haven]

You on the beta?

[gusty kiln]

Oh wait

Nvm yeah still on 7

[astral haven]

Yea 8 is big changes

[gusty kiln]

So what's new

[astral haven]

Only good thing is it doesn't lag nearly at all

[gusty kiln]

Ooo

[astral haven]

For the bad

Well I've got a loooooong post on the beta feedback forum

[halcyon moss]

Dex was so laggy with input it was unusable for me

[astral haven]

If it did that on startup that's not dex

External video defaults to 30hz

[halcyon moss]

Maybe that was it.

[gusty kiln]

Should be a auto start dex setting

[astral haven]

That's separate

[old marlin]

maaaaan the H2S is mighty tempting

[gusty kiln]

Hydrogen sulfide?

[old marlin]

3d printer

(yes ik bambu closed ecosystem yadda yadda)

[astral haven]

To fix it its actually pretty hard to which is super annoying
You need to install good lock > install multi star check the checkbox to enable "high resolution" and have a dock that supports 4 lanes of displayport
Or drop the res to 1080p which ew

[old marlin]

it seems to be stupidly polished at this point

[gusty kiln]

I've been eyeing the prusa core1

[old marlin]

the H2S is cheaper

a bit more if you get the AMS

and I would argue downright a better machine in almost all aspects

[vagrant pagoda]

what display are you using with dex Carm?

[gusty kiln]

Thanks

[astral haven]

G8 neo running at 4k60

[gusty kiln]

[vagrant pagoda]

why use dex if you got a full size display?

why not a pc

[old marlin]

larger print volume, better chamber heat control, faster, AMS capability, print quality

• basically a neatless user experience

no messing around with print settings ever really

unless something goes broken or you are using weird filament

[gusty kiln]

I'm seeing it at 1249 usd

[old marlin]

downside is that bambu has already threatened with an online only mode in the past, and the offline only mode is an option for nowbut that might change at any point

• you are forced to use bambus slicer with their newer pritners since orca refuses to keep up with bambus bs

[gusty kiln]

Core 1 is 1199 assembled

Where do you see it cheaper?

[old marlin]

ah wait

did you get chynad

[vagrant pagoda]

the bamabu issue is being locked in

prusa is very open about the printer

[gusty kiln]

I'm murica land of the maybe free

[vagrant pagoda]

but thats also the best part about bambu

[old marlin]

1399 with AMS

[thick ermine]

I mean it’s like the apple of 3d printers…and Apple does the same shii.

[astral haven]

My PC is hawt

[vagrant pagoda]

get ac

[astral haven]

Window ac is loud and the central ac doesn't kick on for ages

[vagrant pagoda]

i figured you used dex on the move

[thick ermine]

I’m not a fan of the core and xl. Layer lines are night and day worse than the H2D.

No matter how much you tweak settings

[gusty kiln]

I use dex the most with my xreal glasses

[vagrant pagoda]

i want a good second screen for my laptop, so thats what i was looking at

[thick ermine]

Print tolerances are much looser on them

[gusty kiln]

Interesting

[vagrant pagoda]

the dumbest thing on the h2d is 150 bucks for ai to check your shit

why isnt that built in

[vagrant pagoda]

i use my laptop with them too

[thick ermine]

Some of the 3d printing YouTubers also noted it in their initial h2d reviews when that launched

[gusty kiln]

H2S with AMS is 1499 usd

[thick ermine]

What, the scanning plate?

[gusty kiln]

Tariffs kicking in I guess

[thick ermine]

Yup

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[gusty kiln]

The only issue is that xreal basically abandoned software development on the older models

Unless you got a different brand

[vagrant pagoda]

eh dont need much software

[thick ermine]

I didn’t pay that much. And it’s not necessary at all. Just saves time from running normal bed calibration. It’s just got a laser or lidar sensor that detects level really fast.

Honestly, wouldn’t recommend it

[gusty kiln]

Would have liked to get the multi display feature at least

[thick ermine]

Also, for those with an A1, they’re adding AMS2 support in case you didn’t know.

[vagrant pagoda]

they do?

you can do the 3 monitor setup or ultrawide?

[gusty kiln]

But only for the nebula app not with anything else

[vagrant pagoda]

what else is there?

[gusty kiln]

It just never got a windows release

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah it dose

its what i use

[gusty kiln]

It was janky on the laptop I used

[vagrant pagoda]

you just said it didnt get a release, now you say it was janky?

[gusty kiln]

And stopped at .8 release

Yeah never a full release

Just abandoned

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but it works fine

[gusty kiln]

Idk maybe I'll try on another machine later

[vagrant pagoda]

there is also a thirdpart app

[gusty kiln]

Gingerxr got nuked

[vagrant pagoda]

that is new

[gusty kiln]

Airmoni, couldn't get it to work

Is there another one that I don't know about?

[astral haven]

I had fun with the plugin for the steam deck, still just single monitor but it ads the head tracking features

[vagrant pagoda]

Why is posting a discord link a timeout if it isnt aginst the rules smh

[gusty kiln]

Might have been a bot prevention measure

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah it wasnt my server so it isnt a self-promotion

Jacona asked about a software and that software is only availble via a discord server

[gentle osprey]

Tbf I didn't see what happened

[reef patrol]

It's one of the autorules to avoid spam. A lot of spambots use discord invite links.

[gentle osprey]

Gotcha

[vagrant pagoda]

im not even on th server

[gentle osprey]

yeah its auto

[vagrant pagoda]

im just saying a 10min auto timeout for something that isnt even breaking the rules is a little heavy

[marsh glade]

It's an antispam measure

[gentle osprey]

More of a preventative measure, next time send it in DMs maybe

[marsh glade]

Our automod blocks a dozen of scam messages a day, if not more

It's a real pain in the ass cat and mouse game

[gusty kiln]

Kek I wonder what is the ping/s this server gets from spam

[marsh glade]

Today saw 5 discord invite scams, six Mr. Beast giveaway scam posts, and a handful of other random shit

[reef patrol]

And a pardtrige in a pear tree?

[vagrant pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/partridge-in-a-pear-tree-first-day-of-christmas-december-december1st-rock-on-gif-12966553

[gusty kiln]

Lol camel toe on a birb

[vagrant pagoda]

thats clevage

[compact scaffold]

yo can someone help i’m not good with computers at all and i went on onion browser w no vpn and command prompt opens up when i boot the pc and it’s making this nosie

[vagrant pagoda]

what did you download

[wide fox]

What you guy's think about this pc build ?

[ashen spindle]

you can get a much better cpu for the same price if you get a cheaper cooler ram and.or case

[reef patrol]

You sure that case will fit the AIO at the top? Looks like a very tight fit.

[gentle osprey]

Yeah it should

It’s a wide body

[reef patrol]

Height... not width, Cam 😄

[gentle osprey]

lol I know , was referring to the dual chamber

[ashen spindle]

Also we don’t see prices for the parts

[unkempt lake]

We dont even see the price

[gentle osprey]

But I get you, it does look kinda short

[reef patrol]

Whaddya mean? The AIO goes on the top or bottom, not the side

[ashen spindle]

Don’t need to see prices to know something is more expensive than needed at times

[unkempt lake]

How can you make recommendations for a cpu when you have no idea how much he paid for the 9600x

[unkempt lake]

...

There's some really good deals occasionally on the 9600x

[gentle osprey]

I was more so meaning it had more width to shift it left or right if needed , but now I get you about the height

[unkempt lake]

Start by seeing the price he's paying for it before making recommendations

[ashen spindle]

And if he gets a cheaper cooler and case he can get a 9800x3d probably at same price

[unkempt lake]

You don't even know what country he's in

[gentle osprey]

And yeah I was assuming top mounted AIO

[ashen spindle]

Cases and aios aren’t sold cheap lol

[unkempt lake]

Montech is a budget brand

Their cases look fancy but are quite cheap

From what i know

[reef patrol]

Why am I surprised. Jayz doesn't even build the system in his "review" of the case. 😄

[gentle osprey]

Lol

[unkempt lake]

unboxing it is clearly enough

[reef patrol]

Kitguru to the rescue - Still a tight fit, but you should be able to route cables.

[unkempt lake]

//s

Jay just like imagines a pc in the case

There's a review

[wide fox]

Hold on thats a lot 😧 so what can I change?

[gentle osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3NZgMC

This is the build with prices

[unkempt lake]

We dont know the country

[gentle osprey]

I don't care lol

[unkempt lake]

but pricing varies per region

[gentle osprey]

I know

[ashen spindle]

whats your budget, just gaming? monitor resolution?

[wide fox]

Belgium

[vagrant pagoda]

6200 cl36 is oof

[unkempt lake]

is there a waffle pc part picker

[gentle osprey]

That's what he had chosen @vagrant pagoda

I just chose exact parts

[wide fox]

Its for my first pc build ever so I dont really know a lot and this is what I managed to get so far

[vagrant pagoda]

i agreee

[ashen spindle]

well thats why im asking to give options, whats your budget for it

[vagrant pagoda]

save on cooler, psu and ram, and get faster cpu

[wide fox]

+-2k

[reef patrol]

Aww... YT started showing me Bitwit videos again. I just remembered the fire... now I'm sad again.

[gentle osprey]

Yeah that sucked

[unkempt lake]

Am i the only one who kinda stopped watching him when he had his divorce

[vagrant pagoda]

you can save the 150 bucks to get a 7800x3d

[unkempt lake]

like his content before and after was so different

[reef patrol]

I stopped watching most Youtubers back in Covid thereabouts? Might be related to no longer working in tech, and not caring about reviews being spoonfed and all that.

[vagrant pagoda]

much better to upgrade cooler down the line

[wide fox]

Wait can I add you and we talk private?

[vagrant pagoda]

just talk here

[gentle osprey]

What you hiding from us about your PC Build?

[unkempt lake]

if i help you do i get a dinosaur

[unkempt lake]

Dinosaurs

[wide fox]

Nothing its just a lot to process 🫨

[vagrant pagoda]

id rather a 7800x3d on a stock cooler than a 9600 XD

[wide fox]

Yes 😌

[reef patrol]

The real reason to sub to Bitwit vlogs.

[gentle osprey]

Yeah first time can be like that, just take it slow, don't rush into buying parts, watch reviews and get multiple opinions from people

[vagrant pagoda]

idk why amd even makes non x3d

[unkempt lake]

Some people dont game

[vagrant pagoda]

its better in productivity too

[gentle osprey]

Aren't those ones like $50 cheaper too?

I can't recall

[wide fox]

That's why im here ive asked a couple of people already:)

[ashen spindle]

https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/C4mynp here take a look at what I;ve thrown together

[unkempt lake]

also @gentle osprey 7600x3d build went well

[wide fox]

Let me see

[gentle osprey]

Nice, glad to hear it

[warm ore]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-man-no-man-no-gif-7347715096894588969

[ashen spindle]

price is lower so if you want a specific case just change to what you want for looks

[vagrant pagoda]

eh 9070xt vs 5070ti is downgrade

[unkempt lake]

Depends on tge price of the 5070 ti

And the 9070xt

[ashen spindle]

its 300€ cheaper

[vagrant pagoda]

for you

[ashen spindle]

for him

[vagrant pagoda]

its still a downgrade

[unkempt lake]

If they're like within 50$-100 of each other then yeah its worth the 5070 ti

[vagrant pagoda]

i was talking about things that dont effect perfomance

[warm ore]

AND the persons requirements and perception of value, like some would enjoy NVIDIA features for +300 EUR

[vagrant pagoda]

750w psu and a air cooler can get a 7800x3d

thats straigt upgrade

[unkempt lake]

Amd features are basically equivalebt nowadays

[warm ore]

nope

[unkempt lake]

You know that's wrong right?

[ashen spindle]

?

[gentle osprey]

Eh depends on what you're looking for I guess

It's about the same

[unkempt lake]

He it addressed in his podcast

[vagrant pagoda]

gn has it faster by 4%

[gentle osprey]

just if you prefer DLSS over FSR, and RT

[ashen spindle]

yes on launch, thats the point of this video, drivers changes sine launch

[gentle osprey]

Yeah driver updates

AMD GPU paired with CPU also runs slightly faster

[unkempt lake]

It's machine + windows not just a driver comparaison

[ashen spindle]

.. that doesnt change the result?

if its from drivers or windows doesnt matter

[unkempt lake]

True

But i just wanted to point out it wasn't just drivers

[ashen spindle]

anyway it was literally thrown together in 50 seconds so he can take a look at it compared to what he searched for

could go with a 5080 and 7800x3d instead if its more gpu heavy games etc. to stay below 2k

[unkempt lake]

Drivers literally did nothing it was basically just windows improvements

https://youtu.be/hf1q1nwoj8k?si=TwzDC_mBCn6H1UuE

[vagrant pagoda]

also would depends on the game no? is it still faster in new releases

iu know its slower in bf6

[unkempt lake]

On the same version of windows using launch drivers vs now there is no difference

It's interesting

Idk what windows did with fhe 90 series but something did happen for sure

[ashen spindle]

its literally the opposite, due to driver overhead it can beat a 5080...

[unkempt lake]

With a weaker cpu

[vagrant pagoda]

where do you see that?

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbdPNxe7O_I

[unkempt lake]

The driver overhead for 50 series makes it so bad for people who want to keep an older cpu

Like

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean thats barely there

[unkempt lake]

You benefit a lit fron going amd if your cpu is weak

[vagrant pagoda]

who is runnign a 5080 and a 5600 though

[unkempt lake]

You can see it with the 9060xt and 5060ti

Which is what i find more interesting

Because those cards will be paired with lower end cpus

[vagrant pagoda]

its super bottlenecked though 5080 is wild on a 5600

[gentle osprey]

https://youtu.be/aYYVz4q-Rt8 Yeah this video talks about driver overhead issue

[unkempt lake]

Look at the last section @vagrant pagoda

[ashen spindle]

then look at it with a 9800x3d at 4k and its still barely better

point is the 9070xt is at least 100€ cheaper and not a downgrade

[gentle osprey]

7600x 10% faster with 9070 than 5090

[warm ore]

Pay 100 EUR less to cope on worse imagine quality, nah fam i'm good with paying.

[vagrant pagoda]

at over 300 fps

[ashen spindle]

worse image quality
they render pixels the same..

[unkempt lake]

Fsr4 looks the same as dlss

And its in so many games now

[young bough]

rx 9070xt my beloved

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-gif-13575853101874488635

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I mean I prefer Nvidia but I don't just shit on AMD, it just depends on the person and wants/needs

[young bough]

first time going amd gpu

and 0 regrets

[ashen spindle]

tl,dr @wide fox watercoolers is only really for looks so you can get a cheaper aircooler, the ram has cheaper options and the case and psu as well, so it's basically up to you how much you want to pay for it looking cool vs it running better in your budget, your build wasnt bad for a first attempt at it otherwise

[vagrant pagoda]

then you have to deal iwth amd drivers

as a long time ati then amd user

[young bough]

sometimes big air coolers can interfere with case sizes n shi or ram height

[ashen spindle]

have you missed the shitshow that is blackwell driver up till like last month or so

[unkempt lake]

i dont have driver issues

On my 7900xtx

[vagrant pagoda]

oh its way way better now

[unkempt lake]

Been great

And the 9060xt also runs well

[gentle osprey]

Yeah fr, only until recently the drivers are good now

[vagrant pagoda]

ive been useing ati/amd drivers long than lots of people on here ben alive

[unkempt lake]

Even on older gens it was shit

[gentle osprey]

I was getting black screens left n right with the drivers the past few months

[vagrant pagoda]

nvidia has always been the standard for gpu drivers

[unkempt lake]

I saw issues on nico's 20 series and my brother's 30 series

gsync issues, black screens

Fun stuff

And downgrading would fix everything

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I just chilled on old drivers until recently

[ashen spindle]

yes amd will still have driver issues just due to less people using it so plenty of times amd literally doesnt know that a game will have issues with it until someone reports it, but stability or whatever is the same or better

[unkempt lake]

Its what i made them both do

[ashen spindle]

but for newer games people run stuff on amd so its not going to really make a difference

[gentle osprey]

On a side note, I switched from Red to Cream White

[vagrant pagoda]

they really need a standard for gpu support

[warm ore]

Digging it!

[gentle osprey]

yeah I hate the motherboard attached ones personally

so i just got this little guy

[warm ore]

bonus points for the ALs

[dull hollow]

how much in fans

[warm ore]

roughly 200 EUR

[gentle osprey]

Well Lian Li sucks and doesn't sell the 140mm in packs so I have 4x140mm and 6x120mm

[exotic plinth]

Brick gpu my beloved

[warm ore]

Ohh nice actually

i had 7x120 of ALs

well i still do, just not active atm

[gentle osprey]

and yeah I know it's a lot of fans, I could remove the bottom fans but I don't like the empty space

[warm ore]

It's not a lot and don't remove, anyone says otherwise don't listen

[gentle osprey]

most people be like 10 fans?!

https://tenor.com/view/rare-reeeeee-dank-meme-triggered-gif-24062717

[warm ore]

Especially wrong if you made the air channel make sense and work

i had 15 in my 5000D

[gentle osprey]

Yeah they custom tuned fan curves

Running different speeds

[gusty kiln]

Legos

[vagrant pagoda]

by buddy is a lego deisgner

ill have to make him do it

[plush stirrup]

isn't a 990Pro 2TB a better choice?

[gusty kiln]

Ooo does he design those $500 kits?

[gentle osprey]

Did you see the pack of gum gpu support I posted a while back?

[gusty kiln]

Where

[marsh pewter]

now your pack of gum is sagging

[gentle osprey]

Haha it's not mine but yeah

[ashen spindle]

sn850 was cheaper when I looked, doesnt matter much what you get

[plush stirrup]

990 pro is currently 146 and 990 Evo Plus only 109

though they seem to be sold out of them on amazon.com.be, amazon.nl still has them though

[exotic plinth]

No i take at bottom?

[gentle osprey]

idk was just some build on reddit asking about proper fan intake

told them to switch the top right fan to intake

[dull hollow]

its where the psu lives, i doubt theres much airflow coming in from there

[exotic plinth]

I'am used to dual chamber case too much

[dull hollow]

i can just about see rm750

corsair psu

[exotic plinth]

I know

[ashen spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ it was just a quick look I took like a minute total and at the moment thats what pcp showed me

[exotic plinth]

I would go for pro anyway

Tho how much terabytes

[plush stirrup]

2, at least the prices I said

[gusty kiln]

Nice

[plush stirrup]

might just pick up a 2TB 990 Evo Plus before my discount expires 😛

[wide fox]

I wanna build a good performance pc but also looks good and fit in fhe +- buget 🫠

[gentle osprey]

I would focus on picking the performance parts first then add in the fancy stuff you want for looks

can always buy an aio or fancy fans later too

[plush stirrup]

to be fair if you do that it's just more wasted money, no?

[gentle osprey]

Technically yeah

[plush stirrup]

depends on what looks good is, but say an arctic aio isn't that expensive, and has 6years of warranty, good for a possible cpu upgrade later on

[gentle osprey]

Yeah just depends on what you want really, I always try to tell peeps to focus on performance tho, some people spend half their budget on the rgb fancy stuff and AIOs

when they could have gotten a better CPU or GPU or both

[plush stirrup]

Yeah I've seen some AIO's which are so expensive just because rgb or screen

[gentle osprey]

Yeah like $300

[plush stirrup]

just for an arctic to ourperform them when it comes to performance...

[gentle osprey]

[plush stirrup]

so an arctic is fine in my book 😛 I would never be able to justify one of those expensive aio's :x

[gentle osprey]

Yeah when you have a specific budget, not wise to go all out on AIOs and stuff

[ashen spindle]

well you can take the build I gave you as a base, if you want to make it look better theres budget left, if you want to make it fancy the best things to save some money would be get a 7800x3d instead and then see where to spend your cash

[plush stirrup]

I mean even without budget tbh, I'm one of the performance over rgb people :3

[gentle osprey]

Yeah AIOs can be expensive, I don't like RGB in my keyboards but I like a little bit in my PC sometimes, just one color tho, not rainbows lol, sometimes I turn all the RGB off tho too

I just like the black n silver of the Lian Li fans

[plush stirrup]

meanwhile I love rgb in my keyboard, though it is usually a static color and like at 10% brightness so I can still see the keys 😄

[gentle osprey]

Rare treasure

EVGA Museum

[pale sigil]

Printed this for a friend as she's retiring her 1070 and wants to display it

[gentle osprey]

Nice

[warm ore]

ayy nice one, i had a 780 Classified :)

[gentle osprey]

Haha right, fair enough

[pale sigil]

Funnily enough it's not mine, my friend lent it to me years ago when my 1070ti died and I needed anything to use my desktop till I got a replacement XD

[gusty kiln]

one of the best looking GPU of all time IMO

[gusty kiln]

only the 980 classified beats it

[gentle osprey]

Active Cooling Xtreme

[pale sigil]

I loved my 1070 EVGA

[pale sigil]

Nice XD

[plush stirrup]

I have 3x P12 ARGB at the front of my PC but usually I turn the RGB off, they cost me about the same as 5x normal P12 would have

[gusty kiln]

nvm not classified, kingpin

[warm ore]

Sadly it doid, so they changed it to a 980 that was handicapped, unless you did -100MHz core, it would grey screen.

[gusty kiln]

https://www.ixbt.com/short/images/2015/Jul/60de3-clip-1591kb.jpg

[gentle osprey]

Ah okay nice

I like the Lian Li P28s too

[pale sigil]

Kinda looks cool ngl XD

[warm ore]

Proper relics at this point

[plush stirrup]

is this what the P28 stands for? with arctic afaik it'sdiameter P12 (120mm) for example

[gusty kiln]

yeah 28mm thick

[pale sigil]

XD

[gusty kiln]

like the phantek t30, 30mm thick

[warm ore]

They are insane, after AL120s i was gonna upgrade to them, but then life happend and i also moved to a different case that didn't warrant it.

[gentle osprey]

[warm ore]

I didn't quite make it to my dream of owning a KP card, so 80Ti will be the last sadly

[gentle osprey]

Yeah they have pretty good performance iirc

[warm ore]

but i guess we buy HoF

[gentle osprey]

Damn that pic was before I got into Wooting, still had my SteelSeries

Ew

And an RGB mousepad, double ew

We’ve transcended from that

https://tenor.com/view/transcend-gif-22175938

[plush stirrup]

still remember when I tried corsair their HE keyboard, it was supposed to trigger from like 0.1mm or something, it like triggered from 1mm

tried a 2nd one and it had the same issue xD I think they list 0.4mm as lowest but they updated it at some point

@distant tapir https://videocardz.com/newz/asrock-releases-3-40-bios-for-amd-800-series-motherboards-addressing-cpu-operating-stability

Time to update... again

[distant tapir]

Sigh. I'll do so tomorrow

Thanks for informing me

[unkempt lake]

@analog sinew you have an assrock and an x3d

[vagrant pagoda]

you readly for you weekly asrock dont burn down my cpu patch XD

[unkempt lake]

I don't own an asrock

[vagrant pagoda]

i ment more likelyu in general

its been like months

with weekly updates

[unkempt lake]

i just feel bad because i didn't tell people aboht this and then their shit broke

[vagrant pagoda]

XD

[unkempt lake]

SO NOW IM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean unless youre a bios engieer at asrockl

why feel bad

[plush stirrup]

feels like my intel experience 😄

[ashen spindle]

hardware fails, software fails, we're running stuff ever so closer to the red line, stuff will break regardless of what it is

[plush stirrup]

These days buying hardware is like gambling, which CPU is going to break this time, or which motherboard is going to blow my cpu up 😛

iirc these asrock issues happened before on other manufacturers with other cpu's, and ofc the intel thing :x

[ashen spindle]

oems had too much freedom for setting defaults, intel had issues, amd we dont know quite yet

nvidia had missing shaders xD

[astral haven]

We don't know the story for amd, but there's still a bunch of cases of dying cpus

[ashen spindle]

well we do know there were some issue with voltage and seemingly non jedec causing some stuff but not all causes yet

[astral haven]

I agree that its not a reason to not worth worrying about for a home system but its still kinda :/

[astral haven]

Didn't the reviewer kill 2 on stock settings?

[unkempt lake]

There's reports of some dying on stock

Without expo

[ashen spindle]

idk it was both asuss so no clue what asus settings are, the cooler was not adequate so it might have been powervirus and cpu not thermal limiting correctly

kinda like oodle on raptor lake except normal cooling could fix it

[astral haven]

Yea but random reports happen
What is really hard probability wise if its rare is if the same person has 2 die without any obvious cause

[ashen spindle]

but thats all speculation

they are running what normal people wont encounter in usage so its not likely someones going to kill the cpu by opening firefox but something is wrong

[astral haven]

What isn't speculation is that the chances are crazy small for a super rare issue to happen twice to the same person
It probably isn't super rare...

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats why there probably is something wrong but its not likely for average users to occur

[astral haven]

If it happens to you, RMA time

[ashen spindle]

maybe they just start shipping eco mode on by default on zen6 and that stops them red lining into death lol

[plush stirrup]

yep I didn't even remember all of these for a second, yeah let's hope the new AMD CPU's don't degrade at least 😄 oh and the 12vhpwr connectors aswell, and that leaves out software issues from amd/nvidia gpu's and SSD's :x

[ashen spindle]

biggest confusion for me about the gmp thing is just how they dont have any info about cpu temps

they know they run specific asm loop code, they know the tdp of the chip and cooler, they looked at load but never temps?

[exotic plinth]

Whats current topic?

[ashen spindle]

hardware dying

[plush stirrup]

Gambling

[ashen spindle]

like if its all at 95C it should still not die but it would indicate something at least on how relevant it is to people with better cooling

[plush stirrup]

I still remember my intel thermal throttling at 85°C xD

[ashen spindle]

also someone cryo freeze me for like 2 years I want better gpus lol

[plush stirrup]

Better, or cheaper? 👀

[ashen spindle]

better, I need an upgrade for the 4090 xD

[plush stirrup]

[silver egret]

what options should i use? (native resolution)

[ashen spindle]

dont change anything

[silver egret]

shouldnt i put scaling mode on no scaling

[ashen spindle]

you should change settings when something isnt working, is something not working?

if everything is working dont break it

[silver egret]

okay

[reef patrol]

Shouldn't matter at all, unless you're not setting your desktop/game resolution to what your monitor runs at.

These options are only for when your PC outputs a smaller resolution than the monitor was designed for.

[magic minnow]

@unkempt lake is not gonna be happy with the power bank you chose

[rough patrol]

B-but miku

Nyumi is a confirmed migu hater

[leaden kiln]

I’ll see if I can get the elgato lp arm at their booth too
Wasn’t able to get it today

I didn’t think I would only get miku things but now I have a full suitcase of almost exclusively miku

[umbral heron]

We desperately need Shure x Miku

I’m liking iOS 26

[nimble arch]

The previews look decent but I’m waiting for stable builds. Only a few weeks to go.

Hopefully AirPods Pro 3 soon

[magic minnow]

I love my 2s

[nimble arch]

I’m on the original pro model

Very good but I want those ANC improvements that the AirPods 4 have

[leaden kiln]

I really like iOS so far
Used it for a few days now, after not using it for a couple years

[nimble arch]

Plus these have a lightning connector case

Everything else I own is now USB C

[magic minnow]

It just works

[magic minnow]

This made me swap my old beats to the new ones

[leaden kiln]

Not even that it just feels very smooth and nice with all the animations being so polished

[magic minnow]

You read manga on your phone?

[leaden kiln]

I read a couple chapters on the train but I have an e reader too

Idk if I’ll return it though

[magic minnow]

If you don’t there’s 2 good apps. Paperback or Tachimanga

[leaden kiln]

Aight thanks for the rec

[silver egret]

what clipping software should i use? which one least affects performance and is just in general the best?

[magic minnow]

Like do video games?

[silver egret]

yes

[magic minnow]

Why not steam itself?

[silver egret]

its not on steam

[ashen spindle]

just use the overlay of you gpu

so the nvidia or amd feature for recording

[silver egret]

okay thanks

[leaden kiln]

Also battery has been really good so far
This phone only has a couple cycles right now so probably not representative but I’m still traveling right now using maps all day and stuff

[nimble arch]

iPhone battery life is very good

Makes you wonder how good it could be if they went chasing battery capacity spec sheets like certain Android manufacturers

[rough osprey]

[magic minnow]

Mine

[rough osprey]

the system do be a bit broken

cant trust it that much
