eifbootmgr
And if you want GUI there's a simple python script https://github.com/Swaphelaer/efibootmgr-gui
bcdedit should work on Windows, but Visual BCD Editor didn't work for me, it read stuff, but didn't save them

[pale sigil]

I don't really wanna mess with the bootloader

Oh wait

Is this something I can run in Linux to adjust my current one

[umbral heron]

Yeah, a simple script

For most part if you have grub you have to enable OS_PROBER, so that it will detect Windows also (should be a line in /etc/default/grub)
Then reconfigure grub, if you don't have Secure Boot with

sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --efi-directory=/boot
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
``` or if you do then
```bash
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --efi-directory=/boot --modules="tpm" --disable-shim-lock
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo sbctl sign-all
``` and that's it, that's how you fix 99.9% problems with GRUB bootloader ![hanaAYAYA](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/835540033263632415.webp?size=128 "hanaAYAYA")

My IEMs came with 4.4mm and 3.5mm jack plugs....
The music player I'm getting has both outfits....would it be preferable to use the 4.4mm?

[leaden kiln]

not gonna make a difference

[umbral heron]

Use 4.4 when you want to drive headphones with higher impedance, because usually manufacturers put more power through it
Otherwise it doesn't make difference

[vapid ruin]

either is fine, as long as it reaches the volume that you want

[wheat plume]

Aha
Thanks!

[crimson wigeon]

Have they even started sending the devkits, I would have thought everything about it would be known once they do that...

[ashen spindle]

some devkits are out yes

but mostly to people that worked on FEX and such I think, so not really people that are into social medial and leaking it

[pale sigil]

I legit forgot this existed

[frozen ingot]

am I being overtly tinfoil hat in thinking all these alleged anti-competition and monopoly accusation lawsuits against valve and steam doesn't really have much to actually do with these things but rather the fact that valve/steam is refusing to go along with the industrys enshittification practices against its userbase, and being a privately held company neither them or investors have any means of coercing them into it

[ashen spindle]

yes because most of it stems from the wolfire suit against valve with the price matching key situation

and its not a accusation valve has a de facto monopoly

[frozen ingot]

which is a lot thanks to their competitors insisting on having garbage terms and conditions for the end user

like am not saying valve is totally innocent here, but they are still the best compromise for the actual end users by quite a considerable margin

[rough patrol]

I love when egs post that they have more users than ever but then never show the % of how many just log on once a week for a free game they will never play

[umbral heron]

You see, other companies, they are just jealous
Most CEOs have several yachts
Gabe has a whole ass company which makes yachts

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt matter why, they are a monopoly and thus subject to regulations

and just because competition is shit doesn't mean they are always doing the best

[rough patrol]

I think there are tons of monopolies that should be looked at before steam

[frozen ingot]

they aren't, there's plenty to criticize valve for like the cs gambling or despite steams terms being way better than the options you still don't ultimately own your game licenses

[rough patrol]

And i do believe that a lot of the things people have against steam is that they dont follow trends like putting ai in everything and forcing ai disclosures

Which all of the other ceos hate

If you dont play ball you will be targeted

[ashen spindle]

no thats not a thing anyone cares about who is looking at valve because of whatever monopolistic abuse claim

[frozen ingot]

but these companies could choose other methods of running their services that would be a lot more benificial to the consumers but they simply refuse to budge from their enshittified nickle and diming subscription centered you will own nothing business model

[rough patrol]

Dont let people think anything better is possible

[umbral heron]

They are monopoly, but they are a natural one, not coercive one
They are not abusing their position on the market to keep monopoly on the market
It's just that the other companies are shit and anti-consumer

So... you have to enshittify your platform or else people will come to use your services and that makes you a monopoly, so you must be punished

[frozen ingot]

yeah valve does a lot of things that the enshittification cult hates like refusing ai, predatory subscription models, making devices intentionally easier to fix instead of as difficult as possible, not banning users or bricking their devices over the use of mods or running their services on different OSes etc

[ashen spindle]

havent seen a single lawsuit or claim that implies that?

[umbral heron]

Isn't there like a huge class action lawsuit, that Valve "uses their monopolistic position" to enforce 30% fee?
And which totally ignores that MS and Sony do the same?

[nimble arch]

Yes

[frozen ingot]

nobody should have any other options than being the corpobros monthly piggy banks without even being given the privilege of owning the products they use

[nimble arch]

Although I believe there’s now an equivalent lawsuit for PlayStation in the UK

[ashen spindle]

not the same basis as valve doesnt make pcs

[misty matrix]

Well...

[ashen spindle]

you can argue if that is fair from ms/sony but for the basis of a lawsuit its not the same circumstances

[nimble arch]

I’d like Valve to release some of their new hardware in the near future. I want that controller.

[ashen spindle]

becoming an OEM that resells hardware in a nice package isnt the same as co-designing hardware and operating system for a console

[umbral heron]

So it is even more nonsensical, MS and Sony are the only distributors on their respective platforms, Valve on PCs is not

Same with Google and Apple on mobile by the way

[frozen ingot]

steam deck/machine and steam os are their own hardware and software platforms

and you can install whatever tf you want on it without the risk of valve remotely bricking your $500+ device

unlike certain other companies

[ashen spindle]

they are also selling the hardware at a loss and its their own platform they developed that isnt multiuse like a pc

like theres a distinction between how it seems and how it would work for a legal argument

also it doesnt matter one bit if the others are worse

[umbral heron]

I mean - they selling hardware at a loss is their own business decision, shouldn't be even considered in any lawsuit

[nimble arch]

Except it will

[ashen spindle]

if ms and sony are found to be the biggest monopolistic abuse, that doesnt change one ounce of it valve is monopolistic

[frozen ingot]

these distinctions is kind of irrelevant from the end users perspective though, and I don't think these lawsuits ultimately have the consumers best interests in mind

[ashen spindle]

if I do theft it doesnt matter that my neighbour planted a bomb

well if we are talking about why lawsuits are brought against valve it matters

[frozen ingot]

they claim to want a more fair and competitive market but only because they want to have more competitive advantages without actually having to change for the better

[umbral heron]

Of course they aren't
They are lawsuits which in the end have shareholders of other companies in mind
And disguised as "we fight for gamers"
I'm sorry - as an end user, why should I give a damn about publisher/platform split? I pay the same price for the product anyway

Oh wait, in case of Valve and Steam I do, because they also provide a lot of value in their Steam launcher and Linux development

[ashen spindle]

can we be specific and talk what lawsuits we're talking about that has shareholders in mind? because the only big one im following is the wolfire games ones and they certainly dont have any plans to make a store

[frozen ingot]

the so called competition has shown time and again they have zero respect for its customer base and sees them as little more than their financial revenue

[ashen spindle]

like is there an epic vs valve lawsuit I missed or what is this about

because if not these are just arguments against imaginary proceedings

[umbral heron]

The UK class action lawsuit, about "unfair" 30% fee that Valve takes from publishers
I do not believe that the group of "concerned consumers" that started it is not backed by some other corporations

[ashen spindle]

the uk case is basically a mirror of the US wolfire case against valve

I dont see any points how someone else with other intentions is behind that

[frozen ingot]

yeah this, its more plausible than not imo that this is shadow financed by the competitor fat cats hiding behind a supposed digital rights activist

[rough patrol]

Isnt there also a suit because of regional pricing

[ashen spindle]

okay how is the shadow support theory reasonable but not the fact that a uk guy saw the lawsuit and thought we should do the same

like how is the super secret evil plan more likely than the most basic explanation

[umbral heron]

Corporate backers have way more to gain from it, I doubt that some random UK guy would start whole ass movement to get like £30 from final class action lawsuit payout

[ashen spindle]

or god forbid someone from the consumer protection agency saw the thing and though it made sense?

[frozen ingot]

because we've seen these schmucks bitch and moan for years about valve and steam and tried tackling them head on in court with little to moderate success, now its gaslighting the public into believing their best interests is somehow also the consumers

[ashen spindle]

who are they

[umbral heron]

Milberg London LLP - hardly a consumer protection agency

[frozen ingot]

sony, nintendo, epic, microsoft to name a few

[sullen bear]

I think whats getting mixed here is personal values and just objective truths ngl

[rough patrol]

I mean it is public knowledge how much of a hate boner tim sweeney has for valve any anything they are involved with (linux)

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-anchor-man-will-ferrell-ron-burgundy-i-don't-believe-you-gif-9834225695141177936

[ashen spindle]

yes, there is a potential as always that the true motive lies elsewhere, but maybe try and find some evidence first before assuming those options as fact?

doubt is reasonable to have but that doesnt mean it's tim sweeny in a human suit

[umbral heron]

Not only Timmy Tencent has a hard-on against Valve, they also are not afraid to sue everyone they don't like without reason

[frozen ingot]

and ahh yes, think of the children plea of emotional appeal, you can't argue against wanting the best for the children can you

[ashen spindle]

and wow would you look at that, they also went against sony before this

[frozen ingot]

idk man this just smells off to me

[ashen spindle]

like holy shit stop assuming everything against valve has to be an evil plan from someone when theres not a single piece that implies that besides doubting someones claims

[rough patrol]

Also moment but we know how valve is not very pro ai, one of the biggest tech/ai guys is peter thiel and he is known to have funded lawsuits against companies he didnt like to bankrupt them behind the scenes

[ashen spindle]

why are we talking about ai

where does ai have anything to do with this

[frozen ingot]

but this is also why I said there's some tinfoilery in my speculations because I ultimately don't have proof on paper regarding these companies involvement

[rough osprey]

Valve sucks

[rough patrol]

True, i opened 10 cases and didnt get a knife

[umbral heron]

I got Arcana in Dota in like 3rd case

[ashen spindle]

the wolfire vs valve lawsuit started in 2021 iirc, or 2020, you think the secret plan to get more ai onto steam is to make a uk lawsuit that mirrors this complaint???

[frozen ingot]

just everything about it smells of colluding to me, there's so many convenient reasons and clues as to why it would be the case

[rough osprey]

i have to use steam bc of them...

[sullen bear]

Bring it to your local representative i guess

[ashen spindle]

like the reason is so obvious, they take a cut, clearly they can afford billions in profit when they buy super yachts and a company making said yachts so maybe its reasonable saying that should be lower?

and/or allow other prices with the keys from the platform or whatever the exact woflire demand is atm

lawsuits are also public, you can read what they want to get, if they are asking for a lower cut or whatever, how tf does that make you think its related to AI

[umbral heron]

If we do that then we should also open floodgates of lawsuits against other companies which do the same
Which actually I'd love to see

[frozen ingot]

like the corporate world play dirty and manipulate the market and peoples opinions into voting against their own interests all the fucking time and am supposed to believe this is just some humble british mom wanting to champion consumer rights?

[ashen spindle]

yes, we do, also again not relevant to this case if someone is asleep on other companies or not

[rough patrol]

I dont think it is reasonable to expect a platform provider to give you free keys as a dev that you can sell for whatever price you feel like without matching said price on the main storefront (at some point in the near future, not even immediately)

[ashen spindle]

why not, most people will still use steam to buy it even at a higher price for convenience etc.

[rough patrol]

Like, if this goes through i‘d imagine steam just cutting off steam keys entirely

[ashen spindle]

but you could also be reasonable and make shit like you can sell up to half of the sales via keys at max, so you only get a key per copy on steam or something

like, its not an all or nothing

its not a case of 30% or 0% cut

[umbral heron]

agreed

[frozen ingot]

we've seen corpos systematically dismantle our right of ownership, right to repair and right to do as we please with the stuff we paid for and then an initiative comes along that helps further that agenda for the worst culprits even further and am just supposed to believe that its completely unrelated or involved in this

[rough osprey]

what is that image

😭

[misty matrix]

a good image

[ashen spindle]

how tf does it make the agenda for the worst culprits even better?

imagine: UK/wolfire or whateve win, you can sell steam keys cheaper and also valve gets a 10% cut or something smaller, now there is even less reason to use epic games store for example

how would this win benefit egs or whoever you think is behind it

[vapid ruin]

Mom and pop shop struggling to sell steam keys, pls valve.

[rough patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-gif-23166194

[frozen ingot]

lawsuits hurts valve both on reputation and financially, and we keep seeing these lawsuits getting filed against them

[rough osprey]

poor billion dollar company

[frozen ingot]

and yes valve is stupendously rich and one or two lawsuits isn't going to change much

[ashen spindle]

epics most attractive feature is the lower cut for the seller, if steam lowers cuts how is that benefiting epic at all

[frozen ingot]

but ya know, death by a thousand cuts and all that

[ashen spindle]

so now winning lawsuits doesnt do anything so now the tinfoil is that keeping valve lawyers busy is somehow the evil plan?

[vapid ruin]

You can say it benefits the one that sweeny brush shoulders with

[reef patrol]

Such as?

What lawsuit has hurt them in recent times? I'm curious.

[frozen ingot]

its multiple attack vectors really, legal fees, undermining public trust, forcing terms changes, going after payment services as a means of coercion

[smoky parrot]

One could argue public trust is rising because of some lawsuits

[ashen spindle]

nobody has lost trust in valve as you can see more people are willingly to defend valve without even knowing details of the lawsuits

legal fees dont matter

[reef patrol]

what lawsuits

[umbral heron]

For publishers
Apart from like 5 games all other ones have the same price on Steam

[reef patrol]

I am only aware of one in recent times, and they won that fair and square to combat patent abuse (and failing to read their own contracts, heh)

[frozen ingot]

https://nordic.ign.com/news/103244/steam-owner-valve-faces-900-million-lawsuit-over-pc-monopoly-claims-following-uk-tribunal-ruling

this one is ongoing

[ashen spindle]

also we got steam refunds only because of the australian lawsuit in 2016

[frozen ingot]

but yeah lawsuits is just one means of getting at them

[reef patrol]

Ah yes - The whole selling on other platforms. I am very curious to see how that ends up.

[ashen spindle]

hell even ignoring the massive profit valve makes, this lawsuit is basically the same facts as the wolfire lawsuit so they dont even need to pay for getting documents they already have most of that

literally making it cheaper than if it was about something else

[frozen ingot]

there was also that whole payment service debacle a while back, though that wasn't up in the courts it still ended up hurting the consumer more than anything

[ashen spindle]

And? Them not giving the savings through to the customer doesn’t change that epic would lose from valve lowering their cut

[umbral heron]

So... good

[frozen ingot]

and that was a good thing, they still have a lot to improve upon for the consumers

[ashen spindle]

Sure but then it doesn’t make sense to assume epic could be behind the lawsuit in secret

[frozen ingot]

honestly if it makes epic look any better by comparison it'd probably be worth it to them ultimately they've had one pr blunder after another going on for years if not decades now

like am all for a healthier competitive environment but a lot of it hangs on the competition actually being competitive in regards to consumer rights

they really wouldn't have to do all that much to drastically improve pr and customer goodwill but spreadsheet department sees a few percents potentially going red as a result so its no bueno

ohh may already

can't wait to pick up the current flagship desktop cpus at a discount following this release

[umbral heron]

You can even pick up 7xxx, as Zen 5 wasn't as much of an upgrade

[unkempt lake]

What you have is good enough tho

[frozen ingot]

I kinda want some of that x3d cache

[umbral heron]

So Zen6 X3D next year then?

[unkempt lake]

I mean i expected it to be meh its why i got the 7800x3d at its all time low

Been happy w that

[frozen ingot]

since I do play a lot of cpu intensive games

[umbral heron]

Factorio

[frozen ingot]

nah that's too accountant simulator for my liking

[umbral heron]

Satisfactory then
My life has changed since I discovered all fields in this games are calculators, and instead of putting 133.3333 in constructors I can just do 100/3*4

[frozen ingot]

I did play a bit of satisfactory but idk its kind of a casual game that's anything but casual if you actually want to do things properly

Meh, you build your factories in your own pace
And turn off ADA when she gives you an attitude of "other pioneers have achieved this step quicker, blah blah blah"

[frozen ingot]

I want efficiency and thoughtfully worked out sorting/separating and all that but that requires more math and planning than I have patience for

[umbral heron]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production Put stuff here, it spits out

Plus I use my ereader nowadays more as a notepad for satisfactory than anything else

[rough patrol]

Just start off building with endgame scale

So you dont have tear shit down and rebuild

[frozen ingot]

can I put an ai bot in the game that does all the work for me then pretend like I did it all

the elon approach

[fair gull]

elon paid a pro didnt he

[frozen ingot]

yeah but am broke so gotta settle for the budget solutions

[spring lake]

w website. i have way too many hours on this

[frozen ingot]

I did use a bunch of mods that made the building part faster/easier

[magic minnow]

[fair gull]

thats how i do it

i do lots of hand crafting in the beginning and awesome sinking before actually building automation

[rough patrol]

Need to also do a lot of exploring for hard drives etc no?

[umbral heron]

But rebuilding is fun

[fair gull]

but thats alt recipes

just build default

ez

[rough patrol]

Building without alt recipes sounds like a nightmare

[fair gull]

sounds like a skill issue to me

[subtle bay]

hey guys i got some problemwithmyspaceicantputitbackonandnotbetiltedcananyonehelp

like e every time i put it back on its tilted

[reef patrol]

...tilted?

[subtle bay]

yeah

[reef patrol]

Did you put it in upside down?

Rotate it.

[subtle bay]

uhmm i feel little embarrased now but thank you alot

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

dont be. some people actually use it upside down intentionally so the thumb rests better (i do for example)

[subtle bay]

cool i dont wanna try it because it looks little weird to me and uneven

[fair gull]

thats fine just saying no need to be embarassed

[subtle bay]

thank you Tony

[subtle bay]

also Tony should i download this

[fair gull]

not needed unless you use a program that specifically asks for it being installed

[umbral heron]

Or if you are developmer

[reef patrol]

Yeah it basically allows other apps to control the RGB and such on the keyboard.

[fair gull]

technically an SDK is a program

[fair gull]

no

[reef patrol]

No? That's how I understood it 😄

[fair gull]

its for analog

[umbral heron]

That's RGB SDK

[fair gull]

rgb sdk talks directly to the keyboard

no need for a user to install

[reef patrol]

Ahh. I could have sworn it was mentioned in the context of the background service and tapping keys.

[subtle bay]

not really i got a guy for that i use it for whatsapp/games

[fair gull]

artemis rgb has an anlog brush for wooting but that falls under install when asked to do so

since you can use the rgb brushes without the analog stuff in artemis

[subtle bay]

Tony wasnt there a place where you can share profile codes in this server?

[fair gull]

3 dots behind profile

then click share

XDD

[wheat plume]

proceed anyway maybe???

[crimson wigeon]

What could possibly go wrong

[wheat plume]

no idea

musis file not found?? ;-;

[reef patrol]

It won't work

Gotta reformat to exfat or something else or split the file

[wheat plume]

i formatted the sd card on the player itself, then pluged it into my PC to transfer the music

now the player is saying no music file found

[fair gull]

how do you have a 4gb music file

[crimson wigeon]

A very long audiobook in one massive file

[wheat plume]

its 12gb worth of many flac files

not one giant music file thats more than 4

[fair gull]

it clearly complained about a file to large for the destination

a fat filesystem can be larger than 4gb and can also hold more data than 4gb

just not in a single file

also does the player you have even do flac

[wheat plume]

Yeh it does

Fiio Echo Mini

[frozen ingot]

devices still using FAT in this day and age is so annoying

I mean yeah most systems support it out of the box but that's also the only upside

[fair gull]

i mean for music files id say its more than fine... nothing should ever be more than 4gb in 1 file

[umbral heron]

[fair gull]

anyway i do remember some fiio players had the advice of formatting the sd card twice with the device to actually format it properly

[umbral heron]

I have Echo Mini, it happily accepts exFAT

[wheat plume]

Oh..... I had to go to the file manager and do a library reset for it to scan the card for songs

They working now xd

[frozen ingot]

I have plenty of audio files exceeding 4gb, even if most of them probably wouldn't end up on my portable media player

[umbral heron]

I put 256G card in it

[frozen ingot]

but also if your media player does video 4gb is quite limiting

[fair gull]

i mean you can fat32 format those as well

youll just lose quite a chunk of space for the fat

[umbral heron]

Yeh, but no reason if it accepts exFAT

[fair gull]

i might be too damaged from the scuffed switch1 exfat implementation

[wheat plume]

🩷

Ok I love this thing already

[umbral heron]

Also @wheat plume, remember to check for updates regularly, it gets an update every month or so, they add tons of QoL and new stuff

[wheat plume]

Yep
That's the first thing I did was update the firmware!

[umbral heron]

[wheat plume]

Can I leave the firmware files on it if there's a new update available or do I delete the old file first?

[umbral heron]

They are deleted automatically after update

[wheat plume]

Oh okk
The language reset to Chinese when I updated it

How do I shuffle?????

Got it

Ooo! That's nice

but getting really pricy

[leaden kiln]

I might get something a bit bigger or nicer if I use it much, its a bit tricky to hold lol

changing settings one handed is impossible

[distant tapir]

What's the relevant difference between DC and PWM for me? All I actually want is to be able to set my fans to run at a low speed. Should I prioritise PWM over DC? I see various results when I Google. Some say DC makes fans run at 100% others say that's outdated

[lunar elm]

Just use PWM bcs afaik they have lower RPMs when not needed

[distant tapir]

So plug them all into PUMP_FAN1 using a splitter?

[lunar elm]

afaik the pump fan header defaults to higher RPM

Personally I’d just plug into other fan headers if its for case fans

[heady hazel]

pwm fans have variable speeds dc ones tend to run at a set speed

[lunar elm]

I also plug my CPU cooler fan into a normal header because I found that PUMPfan header to be very loud by default

[distant tapir]

But I can choose the set speed for the DC ones?

I want them to run at a set speed, just one of my choosing

[heady hazel]

yeah i should have clarified , dc regulates speed over voltage

pwm over pulsing if that makes sense?

[heady hazel]

what fans do you have?

[distant tapir]

Well okay good, that makes me less worried. I'll just use DC for case fans then

[distant tapir]

Three NF-A12x25 and one NF-A14x25 G2

[heady hazel]

noctuas? they should be pwm

[distant tapir]

The 120mms are all front intake the 140mm is exhaust

[heady hazel]

yeah i checked they are pwm

[heady hazel]

damn like 40€ each?

[distant tapir]

Yes they are bery xpensive

[heady hazel]

they are for sure pwm so thats the mode you need

[distant tapir]

I don't think they need to be PWM. They should be compatible with DC afaik

[heady hazel]

how many pins does the connector have?

im 99% sure its pwm

[distant tapir]

They have 4 so PWM

[vagrant pagoda]

they do make non pwm a12s

[distant tapir]

But it doesn't seem like I miss out on anything I'd use by plugging them into DC ones

[heady hazel]

honestly i havent had dc fans in ages, so im not sure

[distant tapir]

I don't need them to be able to change the speed depending on CPU temperature or something like that. I just need them to run at a set speed all the time

[sullen bear]

then run PWM and just set the cap in bios

[quaint tree]

SIUUUUUM🖤

[frozen ingot]

no way its impossible discord said they used a trusted parner

[pale sigil]

Don't worry, the 3d model I used doesn't have privacy rights but also I don't think this applies to the UK?

Nvm it does

[lunar elm]

can we put stage 3 weight reduction on it

[frozen ingot]

so when does the regular g pro get the haptic switch thingy

[old marlin]

don't think it will get it

[gusty kiln]

Apparently the haptic switches uses a lot of battery

[frozen ingot]

yeah that was the first thing I thought seeing that

[rough osprey]

on higher settings yep

[lunar elm]

ok great guys, now skip it straight to TMR

[heady hazel]

the uk really opened up the floodgates for george orwells 1984 to become reality

ironic if you think about it

[frozen ingot]

given the UKs track record on mass surveillance they were the most likely western country to push this stuff imo

[heady hazel]

and denmark with chat control

[reef patrol]

EU*

[frozen ingot]

I was actually a bit surprised denmark spearheaded that proposal, they've been kinda chill in the past

woulda expected us to suggest it first honestly

[reef patrol]

Yeah... Bizarro world.

[heady hazel]

i mean im surprised germany did not yet veto that to hell and back

[frozen ingot]

isn't german gov kinda pro surveillance these days as well

[reef patrol]

Which version? It keeps getting brought up again slightly adjusted

[frozen ingot]

yeah that's what they always do with these shitty anti-citizen rights bills

propose the worst version they can think of, lets it get shut down and propose a slightly less shitty version over and over until it passes

[heady hazel]

I think germany did raise data protection issues for the initial proposal

[compact relic]

its kinda funny how i have a ton of friends who are switching away from discord because of this but at the same time they're age verified on vrchat which also uses persona

[pale sigil]

Could someone tell me why every so often I can't access my truenas server locally over WiFi or lan but I can remotely over cloud flare tunnels.

Ap isolation isn't on

[frozen ingot]

its also funny how people thinks discord doesn't already have all your data

[pale sigil]

They would never

[compact relic]

they dont have my face or ID

[pale sigil]

But tbf discord also says it doesn't share the data with brokers etc

For now

[frozen ingot]

if you've ever had a pic of your face end up online they probably do

[compact relic]

most recent ones are from like 2016 on facebook after that I stopped doing that 👍🏻

[frozen ingot]

all these data collecting and analyzing systems they have nowadays are horrifyingly capable

[unkempt lake]

they gonna sell my noods

steal my only fans

[compact relic]

true, but i doubt they can paint an accurate picture from a semi-blurry side profile with sunglasses

[frozen ingot]

given your account is a decade old together with whatever other data they got on you they likely won't do the photo ID thing at least

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DbNr-dtYzkg

Logitech QA is still shit. Nature is healing.

[frozen ingot]

is that also hall effect

I would assume its pretty hard to pull off reliably when you got barely a millimeter of travel to begin with without risking misclicks like that

[rough osprey]

i have all yall data

[cerulean arch]

Ampinel is finally released, i have been waiting since october

[lunar elm]

pretty sure it is, cant wait for TMR

[rough osprey]

inductive i think

[lunar elm]

Recently got a TMR controller and its pretty lit, not gonna compare it to any other controller since only other I’ve used was xbox one, feels night and day to me

[frozen ingot]

would that be more accurate

[rough osprey]

the missclicks are just coming from shell flex

[lunar elm]

iirc TMR can be more accurate and has better efficiency over HE

[frozen ingot]

yeah was gonna say it might not even be a sensor accuracy issue but the actual mechanical flex and tolerances

[rough osprey]

they made it thinner to decrease weight cuz these clicks are heavy

[lunar elm]

plastic shell problem xd

i sleep until wanling mouse shits a TMR beast x mini or huan outta their ass

[frozen ingot]

mouse click movements are so small

[lunar elm]

Im thinking of those switches same as mechanical to HE

once you try hall effect its basically like no latency

[rough osprey]

you can also get missclicks from just moving the mouse up and down very fast

as the metal kinda heavy

[frozen ingot]

that would physically move the mouse buttons yes

[rough osprey]

I think the best step would be to use weaker haptic motors (which then could probably be smaller and lighter)

[lunar elm]

the speed you move the mouse registers in the sensor especially if the click point is very low

[frozen ingot]

it does that on regular mice too but not strong enough to actually cause a click on a standard mouse switch

[rough osprey]

you could theoretically spring swap them to adjust the click force needed lol

[lunar elm]

because in a way you can describe the standard is “heavier” (What im implying here is that the pressure needed to click it is heavier than what you can preferably configure on these)

I imagine these scenarios are because the sensitivity is set to very low, if not the lowest possible

[rough osprey]

shouldnt happen in normal use

the human lowkey limitting more here

letting go of like the right click for scoping is very easy

on fast rapid trigger

[frozen ingot]

yeah is quite likely they put it to lowest possible actuation/highest sense to make it do that for the vid

[lunar elm]

it is a problem between the user’s brain, fingers and movement

[frozen ingot]

its kinda like if you put wooting actuation to 0.1 where you barely have to breathe on the keys to trigger them

[rough osprey]

now when they adding haptic motors to keyboard switches to simulate tactile switches

i think i saw a keyboard that had one big haptic one to simulate like a typewriter

[lunar elm]

Me in driving in cyberpunk and one of my fingers gets lazy:

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-car-crash-gif-9388562661726532947

[frozen ingot]

I got my lowest actuation at like 0.3-0.4 for gaming profiles

[lunar elm]

i sleep till at least a light metal TMR related mouse comes out

I think im gonna cop a WLmouse huan bcs I think its gonna be another year till then

[rough osprey]

im 0.1 on gaming keys

tried lower but got issues

[frozen ingot]

my personal settings for fps games were very close to the tenz profile

doesn't mean I can play anything like tenz but the settings makes sense to me

[heady hazel]

Direct drive has been achieved

[vagrant pagoda]

100ka is literally insane

[distant tapir]

My friend is building her first ever desktop PC. The motherboard was bought new from Amazon but I suspect it might be used. There was no protective film on on the thermal pads for the M.2

Even though the manual states there should be and when I look up photos I see it too

Does Amazon sometimes sell returned products as new? Otherwise I don't see how it would come with this missing

[ashen spindle]

could just be a batch where it was missing or forgotten during production

[sinful quest]

amazon is shitty, so possible

[ashen spindle]

but as long as it works it doesnt really matter

[frozen ingot]

would check remaining packaging for signs of opening

[sinful quest]

does it look used? or does the package looks resealed or anything?

[distant tapir]

It looks fine to me

There was also a surprising lack of plastic to pull off the motherboard itself

[sinful quest]

I would recommend to at least tell the amazon support even if it works. They might give some money back or something

[pale sigil]

Is that a nebula pad

The os doesn't look stock for that printer

[empty wren]

professional firmware, someone recompiled marlin and enabled some features

[heady hazel]

Yep pretty much self compiled firmware

[empty wren]

Hmm looks like you had the shroud reprinted too

[tribal dirge]

Same amount of amps that a particle accelerator uses

[distant tapir]

Look at how my friend that is building her first PC plugged in her case cables ☠️
Didn't use any of the holes that makes it look nicer

(Yes we fixed it)

[sinful quest]

Well i guess I wont blame a first timer

Still painful to see tho

[halcyon moss]

If no glass, it doesn't matter

[sinful quest]

Well, it does, if something isn't working like it's supposed to or if you wanna switch parts out, having good cable management is pretty nice

[halcyon moss]

Rare enough to matter little

[terse badger]

does anybody know if wooting has plans about developing a keyboard with tmr switches?

or a 80HE v2 mby with a knob?

[sinful quest]

No 80HEv2 afaik but knobs that you can use on your 80HE (or any other iirc)

[dull hollow]

tmr provides zero benefits over he right now

[magic minnow]

For you maybe

[alpine patio]

shiny tak

[dull hollow]

how else will i get .000001mm actuation and rapid trigger and my macro

[magic minnow]

That’s why I play with 8K polling rate on my mouse

[sinful quest]

[dull hollow]

but pro players are using 16k polling keyboard!1!1!1!1!1!1!!

[sinful quest]

How long till the battery dies? 2/3 hours?

[halcyon moss]

They've responded in the past about tmr in this discord. Try your luck using search

[dull hollow]

how long before the game blows up because it doesnt like more than 1k polling

[sinful quest]

The first 2 matches of league with my VV3P i was wondering why I had 2fps if I move my mouse

[magic minnow]

In a mouse group I’m in

@modern sphinx people just be typing anything

[dull hollow]

send this

[dull hollow]

tell them their mouse has a gspot

[magic minnow]

lol

[sinful quest]

Yea.. i am going to sleep before I fall asleep thinking about logitech. Don't wanna have nightmares

Good nightyss

[mortal swallow]

guys I honestly am at a point where idk what to upgrade in my PC besides spending 1k+ and going to the next generation

i have a 5800x and a 3060 right now and I'm like I genuinely think I'm at the max, like I could upgrade my GPU but would that really do anything I play in 1080p lmfao

my fps is games like val is starting to die slowly, and I'm not sure exactly what it is, or what I should upgrade but I don't know really what to do

[vapid ruin]

maybe try to score an am4 x3d chip?

[mortal swallow]

probabbbly gonna be impossible for me, unless you think a 5700x3d is worth going for

i could probably buy it off my brother

[vapid ruin]

you got the cache with like 5% performance loss from 5800x3d (iirc), so it's def okay

[mortal swallow]

he upgraded but I didn't think there was a big enough difference between my cpu and his old one for it to be worth it

i definitely have to upgrade my power supply, that's #1 right now that's coming in a few days

but other than that I'm not sure what else to upgrade

[vapid ruin]

moar storage

[mortal swallow]

8tb 😞

i ordered a 2tb SSD SATA for storage and got 3 lol

my main drive Is a good nvme obviously

[raw zephyr]

Theres no need to upgrade as long as the PC suits your needs

5800x vs 5800x3d is barely any difference, I wouldnt bother unless you get like a really really good (really) deal

[mortal swallow]

I mean tbf I could just swap my current 5800x for my brother's old 5700x3d and like $30 but idk how worth it'd be

I heard it would be pretty good considering I mainly play val and overwatch and my 1% lows are sometimes buns

[modern sphinx]

screw those guys, I just want my name on a Boomslang just like Boardy 😭

[halcyon moss]

So engrave it

[cerulean arch]

Lol i will try this on my Superstrike

[cerulean arch]

Not true lol

[raw zephyr]

does really a 500 vs 600 fps in valorant make a difference?

[lunar elm]

other than going to AM5/LGA1851 theres really no point- For now Ill look out for a 5070/9070XT if I were you.

[jaunty ivy]

Like its getting worse performance but your specs haven't changed?

[smoky parrot]

Cryptominer installed

[lunar elm]

a fresh windows install might do the trick tbh

[jaunty ivy]

sounds like it

[umbral heron]

https://www.news18.com/world/training-a-human-takes-20-years-of-food-sam-altman-on-how-much-power-ai-consumes-ws-kl-9922309.html Sociopath says what

[vapid ruin]

but it takes less than a million to train one lmao

[lunar elm]

wht a shit site

holy crackers one fatass ad immeditely appears that u cant skip

no

https://tenor.com/view/mother-of-god-gif-10218431

Idk if I'm being extreme but based off the screenshots etc I'd be changing my password and credit cards right away

[umbral heron]

In comments it turned out that dude had a virus on PC, well, NirCmd, but someone else was using it as malware

[nimble arch]

[pale sigil]

Correcto

If you look at my comments it's been like this for 3 months and he said he has had accounts randomly hacked lately

I already advised changing credit card etc before they commented this 😅

Here it's a simple toggle and you get a new card within days

And the old card details are disabled forever.

Or well not re used

[sullen bear]

Its your lows too

Which is more important atp

[wheat plume]

o hek yeh
https://youtu.be/TZrrmwKLPEE

[heady hazel]

I did yeah it was cracked at one part

[pale sigil]

🙌

Have you met me

Because it's too common with my luck

[raw zephyr]

unless they run 360hz+ monitor its never going to dip below the refresh rate and if yes, something is flawed with the game or with the system

[sullen bear]

whut, you will always have lows even with the most godlike setup

[raw zephyr]

i dont understand what you are trying to say

[ashen spindle]

even on a non x3d part with low settings your 1% lows arent dipping below the monitors refresh rate unless you have a super high hz screen

[vagrant pagoda]

also zero shot in 2026 youd ever get a 5x00x3d at a price that would be worth it

[ashen spindle]

wouldnt be worth it but still cheaper than a new platform

thats a different game

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean like 5800 vs 5800x3d price

[ashen spindle]

you cant compare rivals to valorant performance, not even close

[mortal swallow]

more that my 1% lows kinda always just sucked

[vagrant pagoda]

5800x are 200, 5800x3d are 500

[sullen bear]

Idk who tests valorant in benchmarks though

[mortal swallow]

why not

it's a good test for 1% lows

[ashen spindle]

its a shit test because you cant replicate performance since there isnt a solid benchmark

[sullen bear]

oh found a test

[mortal swallow]

ah

[vagrant pagoda]

7600 to 9800 would give you a 15-20% with no x3d

[sullen bear]

but these are 1% lows

not 0.1%

[ashen spindle]

from when is that, before or after the engine change?

[mortal swallow]

to be fair I'm not working with a stable performance in the first place considering my PC will deadahh jus randomly turn off

[vagrant pagoda]

you arent good enough for 0.1% to effect your gaming

[sullen bear]

its not for me though?

and that makes no sense anyways

[frozen ingot]

damn it dipped to a 378fps low

how will the players cope

[vagrant pagoda]

its the same respons to anyone asking

[sullen bear]

I got told we are in the wooting discord so minmaxing matters

why use wooting with 8k polling if ur not good enough anyways

[vagrant pagoda]

300+ to 400+ is something that a top 10 player wont notice

[ashen spindle]

because I dont use 8k polling and was never a reason why I even considered a wooting lol

[vagrant pagoda]

i bought it before they even though about 8k

[ashen spindle]

8k is pure marketing that does nothing on a keyboard

[frozen ingot]

same I don't use either 8k or tachyon

[vagrant pagoda]

ii bought it have more fun driving in arma

because driving with a stick and collective sucks, and there isnt room for a wheel too.

so keeb dose enough

[mortal swallow]

2k polling is good enough for me

on my mouse

i don't notice a difference on keyboard

[frozen ingot]

if you whine about 300fps or even 200+ fps lows go touch grass honestly

[lunar elm]

2k polling 1600 dpi and 240hz+ monitor=optimal

[mortal swallow]

bro mines different cause Itll say I get 500 fps and just dip to 200 and my 1% lows are genuinely dog shit

[ashen spindle]

bad take, if I get a 360hz monitor I want to have 360fps thats nothing special

[lunar elm]

i felt slight lag on 240hz when on the logitrash superlight 1 with 1k polling

[mortal swallow]

it happens even on a fresh install I think it's just cooked

[mortal swallow]

yeah I'm hoping that my whole fps issue is just related to my power supply

[frozen ingot]

nah it just silly man

but you do you

[lunar elm]

yay we have a 360hz monitor and cant make use of it in games that actually matters, hooray

[mortal swallow]

i have to undercut my CPU because otherwise my power supply just turns off my PC 😂

360hz goes crazy in Minecraft

[lunar elm]

GPU?

[mortal swallow]

3060

[lunar elm]

I only use 360hz in valorant and thats it xd

[lunar elm]

as in power draw from gpu

[mortal swallow]

I'll definitely upgrade my GPU sometime but not the biggest worry right now

[mortal swallow]

nah my PSU is just cooked it's not power draw

i don't pull nearly close to 750w

it's just cooked it's like 10+ years old

[lunar elm]

thats literally directly correlated, a failung psu will shut down after certain draw

[magic minnow]

[mortal swallow]

I mean I guess but it's really just random

[frozen ingot]

waiting for mark to post that meme again

[mortal swallow]

even now my shit still restarts randomly usually on idle

im getting a new power supply on Tuesday so hopefully it fixes it

cause if it doesn't I'm cooked

[lunar elm]

i was using this ITX for TV gaming with the bois the other day

Panels are off since power button connection came loose and I had to press the button on the mobo

[mortal swallow]

need a 40inch 240hz display 😝

[lunar elm]

Its a QLED 4k60hz TV i believe

[mortal swallow]

where are you bro I see that ac

or is that a heater

[lunar elm]

singapore

[mortal swallow]

I was gonna say it's gotta be somewhere asia

Singapore looks so cool

[vagrant pagoda]

ssf issues

[lunar elm]

I didnt properly secure every cable for the final process xd

im using custom cables, not the stock SF850 ones since those are too long for the build

[vapid ruin]

peak setup

[wheat plume]

Ooooo open PC case??

[vagrant pagoda]

i know still sayuing its a ssf issue that you cant easily stick it back in easily XD

[wheat plume]

Ohhhh

NGL it looks cooler that way too

[vagrant pagoda]

it is likely cooler that way too

[wheat plume]

Yeh for sure

Id be mega worried about dust
But that doesn't seem very dusty in the photo so it should be fine

Id never be able to do this at my house....

[vagrant pagoda]

thats what air compressors are fo

[wheat plume]

Aren't those bad cause they cause static buildup?

[vagrant pagoda]

no i have a hack for that

its called living in florida

[wheat plume]

XXXDDDD

[mortal swallow]

god just lookimg at ram prices for ddr5 makes me wanna throw up

[wheat plume]

Fuck AI

[vagrant pagoda]

we get like 5 static days a year

so just dont clean it then

also all my shop air supplies are grounded between the plastics

[wheat plume]

That's so sick 💜💜
What specs?

[mortal swallow]

I lowkey love using ai so I'm hypocritical but real

[lunar elm]

265K 5070Ti 48GB ram (Previously 32), 8000 CL40, could push 8400 with another h16a kit at CL26, but i havent tried

[wheat plume]

O hek

[mortal swallow]

where can I genuinely find ddr5 ram for like $250 like a 32gb kit

id MAYBE be fine with spending $300

[ashen spindle]

there are a few options

time travel into the past or future

find some combo deal where the individual parts would go that low like if there is a microcenter bundle with ram lol

buy used

grab a 16gb kit and use a sharpie to write 32gb on it

[mortal swallow]

😞

i think I'm just gonna have to stay on am4

i do not want to spend $ 400+ on ram 😭

[ashen spindle]

do you need 32gb though?

[mortal swallow]

meh

[lunar elm]

I got my H24M kit for 689 SGD, sold a h16a 6kc30 kit for 350 SGD, but keep in mind that had no warranty as import unit from amazon, it also couldnt do what ram tunes i wanted

[mortal swallow]

I'd definitely prefer it

[ashen spindle]

if you dont need the ram, unused ram isnt giving you any benefit

[mortal swallow]

most games drain my ram

especially extraction shooters/open worlds

they eat it

[mortal swallow]

😞😞

eBay time

[ashen spindle]

I mean it doesnt matter if they eat it as long as they arent running out of ram

[lunar elm]

I use 48GB ram for vm machines and a primary application at a time xd

[ashen spindle]

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/crucial-pro-32gb-2x16gb-ddr5-5600mhz-c46-udimm-desktop-memory-black/JX8PSKC792 otherwise this is cheapest you can find probably

[mortal swallow]

well most games use a lot of ram nowadays

[devout raptor]

1436 hours on the oled no burn in

[ashen spindle]

do you run out of ram or no

if you dont run out it doesnt matter how much they use of it

it would more depend on what you use besides a game that eats ram

since games will still have to work on consoles who arent going to get more ram till next generation so its unlikely any new game wont work with 16gb

[mortal swallow]

😞

[mortal swallow]

it slows down near its max is what I was saying

right now I don't run out cus I have 32gb

but it gets way higher than 50% alot of the time

[lunar elm]

In wuthering waves it memory leaks alot and eats like nearly 30GB total system memory

[ashen spindle]

I mean if its a memory leak it wouldnt stop at 30

[lunar elm]

fair point

(i saw it go from 26gb increasing to 30)

showcasing some raytracing 4K with DLSS balanced for the bois that day

[vagrant pagoda]

also 30 is light work

2d games can do that

[lunar elm]

i might go for copper cables next if i do another build, ketchup cables are nice in there tho

[vagrant pagoda]

learn how to make them

and send nils all your moneys and possible soul

[lunar elm]

nah my goat already has it made in china and ready to ship

[vagrant pagoda]

never

the goat is nils

[lunar elm]

I directly contact him and pay him via wise- Since paypal is more expensive and more complicated

who the fuck is nils

[vagrant pagoda]

kids these days, dont even know the ogs

[lunar elm]

he did my 12vhpwr cable for the main build and he mainly sells ITX build cables mainly for the T1 and ncase M3

[vagrant pagoda]

Nils is the orignal cable sleeving supplier, and makes the literaly best sleeve on the market.

[lunar elm]

he also has the custom mods for the T1 like the Tgrill

[vagrant pagoda]

literally cable-sleeving.com

https://www.cable-sleeving.com/

[lunar elm]

We really dont like sleeved cables for ITX because some situations we need to “stretch” the cable further for the perfect fit- Sleeved would kinda make it annoying

Longer normal cables for ATX builds indeed have sleeves though

[vagrant pagoda]

100% made in germany, accept no substitutes.

[vagrant pagoda]

thats because youre used to cheap cables with cheap sleeve

[lunar elm]

i think germany would take way longer to ship here over china

nah the sleeves on the 12vhpwr from him are good, no problems at all

[vagrant pagoda]

its still cheap sleeve

and cheap wire

[lunar elm]

its way better than the one the lianli edge PSU had

[vagrant pagoda]

mpdc sleeved cable is going to be more flexible than anything you get pre made

also making your own cables mean you never have to stretch anything

its not hard to do

[lunar elm]

nah the cable’s already perfect

[vagrant pagoda]

spending the 50-60 bucks on the crimper is the only big cost. and in the end you always have the right cable

[lunar elm]

some guy’s custom cables are all from him 0 complaints

[vagrant pagoda]

hell my 24 pin is over an inch shorter left to right

so that it lays right

[lunar elm]

wow… thats literally the price for them high quality custom cables that perfectly match!

The mobo 24pin was a perfect fit, same with the GPU

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but you can make 10s of thosands of cables with one crimper

[mortal swallow]

Son

it might be time for a PC reset

[terse badger]

it uses a fraction of the power which makes wireless more realistic. It also is backwards compatible with mechanical switches which is nice because some people like the sound of mechanical switches better.

[alpine patio]

release the list

[mortal swallow]

how do i check how long ive had this windows installation

[alpine patio]

settings > system > about

[lunar elm]

TMR pretty pointless unless wireless

[mortal swallow]

goat thx

im 2 months into this windows installation

might be time to reset lowke

[magic minnow]

Or when you’re playing at my level where a fraction of a micro second matters

[mortal swallow]

word in games like genshin impact that 0.00001 seconds matter

[lunar elm]

yes dad I need that microsecond to become the aspas of bronze in valorant

[mortal swallow]

lowkey i swapped from my wooting to just a normal mech keyboard

in val barely noticed a difference

i think the only thing that really makes a impact is crouching for me because i can do it al,ot more seamlessly on my wooting

[lunar elm]

when i swapped mech to wooting (HE) I started feeling that on inputs were way faster

[mortal swallow]

well yeah obviously to be fair i have no idea what tmr is

outside of rapid trigger i noticed 0 difference having tachyon mode and allat on

the ultra speed modes on the settings

[lunar elm]

its just same as HE is the tldr without needing constant voltage

[mortal swallow]

ah

its just the modern version of putting pinup babes next to a car or something to sell it, is just kinda tacky imo

[pseudo kindle]

what mices are wooting people recommending?

[sinful quest]

I am pretty happy with my VV3P

[rough osprey]

I am pretty happy with my Superstrike

[crimson wigeon]

Well yeah I do miss the times when the GPUs had various arts on them instead of just the generic logos that are the standard these days

Im not crazy for spending money on a hobby even if its not entirely necessary or super practical right

[magic minnow]

My friend spent like 10k on Magic the gathering cards that he doesn’t play because he’s always wanting a new deck

[pale sigil]

I very very much have been having a lot of money with server since building it, the specs are 10700k/39gb ram/20TB and im wanting a new case as its in a Lian Li A3 which only supports 1 HDD despite there being 4 in there atm lol

Im wanting to move my desktop into that and get a proper case because i have been expanding storage quicker than i expected.... soon to be 6 HDDs

I found a practical case for around 50 pounds but its very generic and no air flow. it supports 6 hdds + 2 adapters.. however im now considering spending 100 on a NAS case that supports 8 HDDs but its double the cost and i run Plex/Self hosted image server/Game server somtimes and loadssss of docker containers.

I also need a pcie sata expansion since its a shitel board with 4 Stat slots.

Basically, am i being stupid

i say this after i just spent 720 pounds on a 3d printer

Admittedly it would benefit me in terms of ease since im in a wheelchair. rn i have to bend down a lot too for my server.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Where did you take a wrong turn to land on 39GB RAM?!

[sinful quest]

39 sounds odd

[marsh glade]

He downloaded 7 extra

[vapid ruin]

32gb kit and 1 8gb stick with one of the chip removed

[pale sigil]

So, i started off with 2x8gb sticks laying around, then i got a single 32gb stick and decided fuck it ill also put in one of my 8gb sticks

not had any issues over a year since im capped at like 1866 anyway

sorry

2933

idk where i got 1866 from

ddr3

[minor citrus]

So you're on 40 then, not 39?

[marsh glade]

Don't make fun of him, the UK school system tries its best

[umbral heron]

1 probably gets eaten by iGPU

[minor citrus]

I would expect that to be a bit more, specs say "up to 64GB"

[pale sigil]

Well yes but no

[pale sigil]

This

I'm stupid, I should just say 40gb vs what's available to me lol

yeah I'm saying there isnt an issue bc pcie is pcie

[heady hazel]

oh yeah i did , the old one has a cracked thread at the screw, its also supposedly better, in terms of airflow. and the directdrivinator (litteral name of the print)

[empty wren]

not too shocked, it is fairly thin and mostly abs

i am pretty confident that bowden was the reason i had issues, forcing filament through is hard i tried manually

Ye gods - Is there a way to stop Windows from constantly waking up my HDD every time I open finder, or a game needs to load a savegame.

Entire PC just stalls - and there is no information there for it to grab there. I specifically removed any ability to page file there 😄

[sullen bear]

Opening finder on windows? 😄

[reef patrol]

Right - It's called explorer in English. Fucking Microsoft.

[sullen bear]

Isnt finder for macos? Haha

[reef patrol]

Y'know what I mean

[sullen bear]

Bestandsverkenner

But good question, I’m interested in the answer too

[fair gull]

how does the pc stall from HDD wake

wut

[sullen bear]

On my gfs pc it doesnt stall but it does constantly make noise while “not using” the hdd

[fair gull]

also for explorer this isnt an option i think as it does a lot of minor stuff to keep the experience nice like free space etc.

[crimson wigeon]

Explorer gets completely wedged if the disk drive isn't responding fast enough

[fair gull]

now for games loading a save file idk why the kernel api call would wake unrelated drives

[unkempt lake]

Save files should be on the os drive

Not the hdd

Today i learned framework only has a 1 year warranty on their products

cringe

[smoky parrot]

So the bare minimum :(

[unkempt lake]

Even fucking dell and hp have better warranties as base

[smoky parrot]

Jeez

That sucks, like, dang

Wooting treats us well, they give 4 years D:

Dell is 2 or 3 I think?

[ashen spindle]

ofc they dont have a long warranty if they know they QA is shit

[unkempt lake]

Unless you have a 2he

Then its like 2 years

[smoky parrot]

Or your leds!

Though I cannot complain about leds at all

[unkempt lake]

Imsgine having the rgb on

[smoky parrot]

Fancy lights

[thick elk]

Often laptop manufacturers offer 1 year in the US for consumer stuff, and for their more premium businessy models they offer longer.
Still would expect more from framework at this point.

Honestly their laptops are not all that compelling in general.

[iron wave]

Welp, Ladybird has been tainted by an LLM.

🫡

https://ladybird.org/posts/adopting-rust/

Looks like the creator tainted it before that, but I didn't remember that much.

[thick elk]

Wonder how useful the conversion is, guessing this way of converting really does not do any of what makes rust useful in a browser engine.

Guess it's just an inbetween step, really don't mind LLM usage for this, if the bytecode is identical it should not really matter.

[crimson wigeon]

But it's now rust that means it is now memory safe and bug free

[thick elk]

Rust really does make sense in a browser though, and it really does make it easier to safely handle the stuff a browser gets thrown at it.
This is just converted c++ though without any of those things.
But could be a starting point.

[fair gull]

i also like to use unsafe everywhere and get no benefits of actually doing rust

[thick elk]

Idea is convert to rust first, rework the rust code after to not use unsafe.
Not sure if it really helps anything, but could make the process of rewriting more incremental.

[heady hazel]

i think ill have to dial down my extrusion settings. i mean i guess that e steps should still be the same given that its the same extruder just mounted differently.

[last hearth]

does anyone know if i should have this on for gaming?

i just got my tenz 80he and not too sure

[ashen spindle]

yes

[last hearth]

if you know, could you explain the differences please4

[ashen spindle]

tldr makes it so the keys register faster

limits the power going to rgb effects and uses it for more scanning

[last hearth]

im guessing tldr is the tachyon mode?

[ashen spindle]

too long didnt read = tldr

[last hearth]

i see

is their an effect on pc usage?

[ashen spindle]

no

[smoky parrot]

It's all inside the keyboard

[last hearth]

ohh okay

so i should always have it on unless i want cool rgb

right

When it was done, the AI responded:

“You're right to be upset… OK. That was wrong - it directly broke the rule you'd set. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.”

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

The erasure of anonymity on the internet sucks

bruh twitch has your tax information already anyway theres nothing anonymous about it

the argument is that the extra verification is probably done to combat money laundering and shit and they should probably use something else than persona with all the issues there now

[nimble arch]

Not entirely sure about this change to Twitch Affiliate, you have to hand over a lot of information when you sign up for the programme.

[umbral heron]

Dontcha want to submit your personal data to an AI data harvester which will be using them in surveillance tech?

[nimble arch]

Although there's several million Twitch affiliates, I'm sure a reasonable amount are dodgy.

Seems like the lazy approach to moderation IMHO.

[ashen spindle]

if you want to make money from them you need to provide payment information, so the data is already given to twitch anyway, but I'd also trust even persona more than twitch to keep my data safe which says a lot

[tribal dirge]

true, your SSN is unique to you

and you need it so that the IRS can track your taxable income

twitch more or less needs it for your 1099 form

So you swapped it out?

well i removed it at the original mount and 3d printed a bracket

it used to create a lot of shavings and was not reliable so we went direct drive
