AVP2 so valve can drop deckard right after 🙏

rough osprey

there gotta be a ton of people that couldn't decide between these two products dogekek

nimble arch

If it were half the price, I'd consider getting an Apple Vision Pro for a personal home theatre.

#

They can keep it for the £3000 price tag though.

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah i was hopping they woud nuke the price to sell more

#

bt i guess it was already at a loss

viral hatch
#

Yo

#

Is this better than the b850 aorus elite ice WiFi 7

ashen spindle
#

there is no better or worse, check what USB/SSD ports etc. it has and what you need

viral hatch
#

Ok

ashen spindle
#

why are you looking for a 7900xtx

viral hatch
#

Cuz it’s better in raw performance and it’s cheaper

warm ore
#

Try German retailers, you are a bit limited in the UK

viral hatch
#

For me

viral hatch
warm ore
#

you can start on Geizhals, it will then show multiple of them

viral hatch
#

Ok

ashen spindle
#

I mean its parity in performance more or less and any new game is likely doing much better on the 9070xt+ stuff like better powerdraw and all

viral hatch
#

I can’t lie it make get better in the driver updates aswell

ashen spindle
#

what

warm ore
# viral hatch I can’t find a white rx 7900xtx

https://geizhals.eu/asrock-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-taichi-white-oc-90-ga4azz-00uanf-a2936576.html the only one i found, but this is hardly worth it when the cheapest is 770 EUR

#

(like i said before, when you want white, you often gotta pay the price, this is one example)

viral hatch
#

Should I just get the 9070xt instead

viral hatch
#

I really like that’s spefeic design tho

ashen spindle
#

yes there is no good reason to go with a 7900xtx instead

warm ore

I think the AMD experts in chat will let you know on that.

HOF cards are the top overclocking models xD they arent cheap and never a good choice for normal use just for the looks

Is cl36 bad ?

ashen spindle

umbral heron

CL30 is not that much more expensive hanaSit

ashen spindle

ashen spindle

every single thing could change price by then..

Im tryna unplug the battery yo clean the fans cus it's hairy ashell in there. But this connector not even moving an inch. Is it blocked or something?.

Put a vacuum cleaner on the fan and hold the fan so it doesn't move

Because a moving fan is a generator which can break shit even when battery is unplugged

Too risky

I guess

halcyon moss

IMHO, yes. Just leave it and make sure the fan doesn't spin

feral ridge

Eh the problem really is removing the fan too

#

There's so much stuff under there

halcyon moss
#

Don't Remove

#

Because that'd be a repaste as well

Mandatory??

You're making it more complicated than it is.

What’s the consensus on new iPhone ? Doesn’t seem that much better or different from my 14 Pro Max

rough osprey

normal model is good now

basically just a pro with worse cameras and bit less performance

ashen spindle

yeah only real downside is usb2 on it still

but most things are done wireless so meh I guess

gentle osprey

I think I’m good for now

Phones have stagnated for the most part

gentle osprey

Yeah

#

If I wanted a better camera I’d just go buy a real one

ashen spindle
#

yeah if camera stuff isnt relevant the normal model has all you need and if you are on the last idk 3 years of iphone is very similar

rough osprey
#

ill just get it for battery life improvements

ashen spindle
#

I expect next year might be a bigger jump in efficiency/performance due to new chip node

gentle osprey
#

Like copy pasta iPhones for last 4 years

lyric hatch
#

Im on that 4 year upgrade cycle which is usually when I give up on the battery and get a new phone

ashen spindle
#

yeah iphone 15/16/17 all use some tsmc N3 node chip so its quite similar in performance so there wasnt much to gain from that

rough osprey
#
ashen spindle
#

so if there isnt a new actual feature its just whatever they decide to move down from the pro lineup like 120hz screens etc.

new modem will probably add to it for this year

yeah modem should be on a more advanced node so saving some power but I think the inhouse modem is only on the air?

rough osprey
#

and ig an improved anti reflection coating could allow you too use less screen brightness

#

oh the modem is for the air

#

but the N1 (Wifi, Bluetooth,...) is for everything

lyric hatch
#

Always love the marketing against their past products like that's somehow a useful point,

airpods pro 3 the best airpods so far. The best screen we've ever put on an iPhone, 3000 nits brightness the highest ever on iPhone

#

An eSIM-only iPhone 17 model will be available in Bahrain, Canada, Guam, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the U.S., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

can i import one...

An iPhone with a sim tray?

rough osprey

i want one without

Does anyone know how to install a macro for fortnite?

ashen spindle

they did make bigger batteries fit into the esim models and I would guess next year thats also available in the EU

Nvm it has charging port

Only realistic difference i see is camera

#

Even if you had more performance the fuck would you use it for

ashen spindle
#

better battery life?

unkempt lake
#

i guess?

#

But is it really worth how much these things cost

#

I'm using a 14 pro and it's really not struggling at all. I can play emulators, i can text i can take cat pics

#

All i really care about

ashen spindle
#

if you think an iphone costs too much isnt related to if the same node gives you any benefits or not

#

any new feature like making AI assistants useful needs more performance etc.

unkempt lake
#

I'm just saying most people have a good enough phone

#

So the price of upgrading for most users is just

#

Not worth it

ashen spindle
#

thats an entirely different point

unkempt lake
#

As long as the phone has decent battery health and gets support?

ashen spindle
#

last 3 chips are same node so not much change you can expect from it perf/efficiency wise
and
price of upgrading for most people is not worth it
are two entirely separate points

I think i'd rather just use a desktop or a laptop if i was to edit a video

astral haven
#

It can handle everything I've needed including log handling

Not a touchscreen device

astral haven
#

Not touchscreen

#

USBC dock to full desktop setup

At that point just yse the desktop next to you tho

Its hawt

What cpu are you running?

astral haven
#

5950x

My 9900k ran less power 🙁

unkempt lake
#

I switching from a 9700k oced to hell to a 7800x3d really diminished how much heat was in the room

bright briar
#

whats even the point of the iphone air?

unkempt lake
#

And now that nico ditched my 9700k for the 7600x3d

unkempt lake
bright briar
#

pay almost the same price as the pro just for 2 inches more and one less camera

unkempt lake
#

Cheaper but same internals

bright briar
#

pretty sure the internals are different

unkempt lake
#

Nope

astral haven
bright briar
astral haven

air has different internals, its using the C1X modem

unkempt lake
bright briar
unkempt lake
#

look at your own screenshot

bright briar
#

iPhone air just idiotic marketing

unkempt lake
astral haven
unkempt lake
#

But honestly if i was to grab one i'd grab the air because it's bigger than the 17 pro but not as big as a 17 pro max

astral haven
#

It has less ram

unkempt lake
#

And the 17 pro max is just too big

astral haven
#

8g vs 12g

unkempt lake
#

6.5 looks like a nice sweet spot screen/form factor wise

And the camera is 1/1.56 instead of 1/1.28

Also hbm brightness is down????

#

Do you get always on display on the regular 17s now too with the 120hz screen

unkempt lake
#

I fucjing hate it

#

Most of the time

leaden kiln
#

Good that you can turn it off

unkempt lake
#

Its only practical if i have my phone in my car

#

Locked on a stand

#

On a table it just annoys me

#

I flip the phone upside down

gentle osprey
unkempt lake
#

Or at night

#

I hate having any light in my peripheral

astral haven
#

Its also useful as a clock and weather monitoring on the stand

leaden kiln
#

I like it more on ios than on oneui
It feels similar to the pixel aod in that it’s more well integrated into the lock screen, but also adds the wallpaper

unkempt lake
#

It's also why i hate rgb on my desktop

astral haven
unkempt lake
#

Today i learned

#

Its off in sleep focus mode

bright briar

even though the air has better colours

unkempt lake
gentle osprey
unkempt lake
#

I just keep my phone on silent mode perpetually

astral haven
unkempt lake
#

I'd take the bigger screen tho

#

But i also work from home

astral haven
#

But thn

unkempt lake
#

So the extra battery life i dont mind sacrificing

astral haven
#

Its for aesthetic

unkempt lake
#

I dont care about thin

astral haven
#

Then sounds like the thin phone isn't for you

unkempt lake
#

I just care about the fact that the screen size is bigger than the regular pro but smaller than the pro max

#

XD

ashen spindle
unkempt lake
#

I'd literally buy it just for that @astral haven if i was to upgrade

#

I tried a pro max once and i hated it

astral haven
#

Then it is the phone for you

unkempt lake
#

Regular pro worked better

unkempt lake
#

But i always feel like they needed to make an in between

gentle osprey
#

It’s not exclusive to Z5

unkempt lake
#

And nownthey did

#

But i also don't want to spend money to upgrade

astral haven
unkempt lake
#

Because my 14 pro works, is paid off and has 92% battery health

bright briar
astral haven
#

But I wanted pro for cameras so air isn't useful

Will be interesting to see how well it sells

Isn’t it .2 or something

No way it’s 2 inches bigger

let me retype my counter argument to dashi

@unkempt lake $100 LESS FOR .2 SCREEN SIZE

.2 inches isn't helpful if it doesn't fit in the hand 😉

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J51BFZWApWI Lmao, apple finally let go of "60hz is all you need"

Apple just held their keynote today revealing brand new iPhones and some new innovative features they have brought, one of them being the all new and revolutionary 120Hz display on a normal iPhone. Last year, lots of people defended 60Hz arguing that normal people don't need a high refresh rate, well it looks like now they're finally getting tha...

Yeah the base model is the real winner this year

But i thought iphones were inherently smootherClueless

airpods 3 seem nice tho

Im on og airpods pro

gaunt obsidian
gentle osprey
#

Nice PepeBusiness

rough osprey
old marlin
#

All they did was give it 120hz?

#

And that is a big win already

rough osprey
#

and the other upgrades

astral haven
#

New soc, cameras, no 128gb, battery, cameras, price

rough osprey
#

better battery then last years peo model

#

and only a tiny price increase

#

compared to the pros

old marlin
#

New soc is like kinda irrelevant

rough osprey
#

the new network chip by apple could make a difference

old marlin
#

Cameras are realistically marginally better at best, so better cat images wowee

#

Better battery is nice, sure

#

And price imo is still ridiculous

rough osprey
#

get that or pay 350€ more for a pro lol

astral haven
old marlin
#

People get really excited about apple adding features that were standard on budget android for years

old marlin
#

Like it's an improvement for sure

#

But does it really matter

vapid ruin
#

with that feature, it makes iphone 17 looks nice

astral haven
#

Wait is the battery smaller than 16e?

???

#

Faster charging is also always nice to hsve

#

Also only the air gets new modem, seems the Qualcomm still is better

old marlin
#

Wait is it faster charging

#

They claimed same speeds

astral haven
#

Advertised 10 mins faster 0-50%

#

20 mins instead of old 30

old marlin
#

Last gen got an update for faster wireless charging

#

Ah

astral haven
#

Wired

old marlin
#

Very niche imo

astral haven
#

Its probably gonna be an hour faster 0-100 if the speed persists

#

The iphone charging is awfully slow, I've had it be a problem quite a few times

old marlin
#

Clueless idk i don't buy phones for that much money

#

At least not unless they give me actually good reasons of why they are worth that much

rough osprey
#

best OS :D

astral haven
old marlin
#

Yea there are prob a thousand things i would rather spend thousand euros on still lol

old marlin
astral haven

Me too but I understand it isn't logical

Imo ios is very inconsistent

rough osprey

saying that when android exists very funny

astral haven
rough osprey

Ios does everything i need to do

old marlin

At least trying to go back somewhere always works the same

astral haven

Apple approved

old marlin
#

And it's not randomly a button, a gesture or something else

rough osprey

they wouldnt be that big if it was a few xd

But people like me who aren't apple approved have a bad time

Also everything I do I could transition to Google approved

Not apple

#

My camera quality would take a huge dive tho :/

vagrant pagoda
#

idk why phone data and tablet data is different to carriers

astral haven
#

In what way?

vagrant pagoda
#

cost

#

limits

#

availability

#

speeds

#

you know in like literally every metric

astral haven
#

Aren't they better for price and limits by sacrificing calling and speed?

vagrant pagoda
#

youd think

#

but its not

astral haven
#

Or free

#

Thx google

vagrant pagoda
#

you take the sim out of a phone put in tablet with same soc, now its 10x the cost per month

astral haven
#

Wut

#

Get a new carrier lel

old marlin
#

Lol

vagrant pagoda
#

what carrier

astral haven
#

You tell me
Google fi?

vagrant pagoda
#

no tethering/hotspot on data sims

and fi unlimted is crzy money for unlimited and its only 50gb highspeed

and you have to still have a phone line

rough osprey
vagrant pagoda

i used 500gb last month

astral haven
astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

visible $25 unlimited

astral haven
#

What phone plan is $2.50

vagrant pagoda
#

now that its owned by verizon you get post paid data priotiry with the + plan

#

thats my phone plan

#

to get 500gb on a data sim would cost you 100s

astral haven
#

And the tablet is $250?

vagrant pagoda
#

they dont do data only

astral haven
#

Wacky

vagrant pagoda
#

verizon post paid data only is 100g

#

for 50 a month

#

if you get a hotspot its worse you get 150GB for 80 a month

like websites blocking you bc your dns blocks ads

... thats the point of pihole and nextdns

ye but kinda annoying if i cant use a lot of websites then

umbral heron
#

You can whitelist stuff in piHole hanaSit

fair gull
#

i personally dont run into it at all

and i have quite the heavy blocklist

and a browser adblocker

its just that i stop using dumb websites that do that crap

umbral heron

I forgot about seedbox KEKW

rough osprey

im just trying nextdns for 2 days and had it happen multiple times

lol

fair gull
#

but my gf hasnt complained, her mom hasnt and well i havent

rough osprey
#

im getting evil ads ig

fair gull
#

na the sites you use just are trash prob

#

if they complain you cant browse them without adblocking

ashen spindle
#

only annoying thing with pihole is if you use apple products

#

because then you might need to set up special exceptions because apple fucks with the dns requests

vapid ruin
fair gull

no special anything

ashen spindle

if I change my iphone dns to pihole after some random hours it stops working and I cant get any internet access anymore
