[dull hollow]

yes

beta ^

[wheat plume]

^ ye
Need beta for that currently

It's easy to go back to stable once it lands on the stable builds anyway
So yeah

[pale sigil]

its on my pixel and pco

[wheat plume]

And my CMF 2 Pro

[leaden kiln]

that's not per app?

[wheat plume]

Samsung....ew

[leaden kiln]

I know I can change the refresh rate lol

[wheat plume]

Technically the dynamic is per app
If the app runs at only 60 it'll make the display only 60 to match

[wheat plume]

Hmmm
Not had a phone expensive enough to let me do that before xd

[pale sigil]

maybe in dev settings

i swear it did, i was doing research on the fliop

[lyric hatch]

Maybe this

[soft drift]

all of them fit on 60he+?

[dull hollow]

yes

as long as the switches are hall effect

[soft drift]

someone know where to get mmd c1 with fast shipping?

[dull hollow]

you can get em from aliexpress

[heady hazel]

@empty wren supports failed partially but thank god the 8 hour print still continues without issues

[empty wren]

That one does not look too important

[heady hazel]

im pretty confident the bl touch sensor or the fan shroud rammed into it i have to check that

[empty wren]

Oh well

Most slicers based on slic3r can have weird travel paths

[heady hazel]

i use prusa slicer im pretty sure its based on that

[empty wren]

Supposedly prusa rebuilt the slicer some but yeah it is still based on slic3r

That said prusa slicer slicer is the only one with idex support, so you win some and lose some

[heady hazel]

i like it , in terms of ease of use , for a ender 3 all i need tbh

[empty wren]

That is totally fine

I used cars for the longest time

Since I did not know better

To be fair Cura can still be powerful, only slicer I know right now hat can do transparent walls

[heady hazel]

to be fair im running the ender currently pretty slow but its a premade preset that i just use for now, with all the changes im not sure i can drive it super fast given the heavier gantry

[empty wren]

Your biggest limiter is actually your bed

Not having glass helps you some

You might be surprised to learn the core xy printers even the bambu labs ones as well as clones have heavy print heads

From ~400g-700g

[heady hazel]

true that might be the limiting factor besides the hotend

[empty wren]

May very well be

But you also got tiny feed gears

[heady hazel]

yeah true, i mean then again i have time so far reliability has gone up with direct drive

[empty wren]

You can buy a bambu labs hotend later if you wanna step it up

[heady hazel]

bowden seems to be easier to clog /missfeed or just get stuck

[fair gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU040CTdJI0

[empty wren]

Perhaps, but with bowden there is less pressure and technically less heavy toolhead

[heady hazel]

yeah for sure, but imo direct drive is just less of a hassle , and you can reliably print tpu

[empty wren]

Fair

[heady hazel]

tpu and bowden is asking for issues unless you get the most stiff variant

[empty wren]

I do at one point wanna try my 60A with bowden

Though perhaps it will be a pointless endeavor when my tool head will be under 300g

[heady hazel]

hmm i mean yeah bowden makes sense if you are concerned about gantry weight etc

[empty wren]

Well Bowden can produce higher quality

But hmm I do not know

[heady hazel]

so far i have not had a decline in print quality to be honest the opposite is what i have seen

[empty wren]

It is more of a meticulous peeping matter

The graph to perfection is a negative exponential one that is shown in a limits problem

[heady hazel]

honestly i feel like a lot of folks get into 3d printers and chase numbers and perfection in some wierd way , to the point where they overbuild and tweak instead of printing

[empty wren]

I will demonstrate what I mean

[empty wren]

A lot of them got burnt out I was told

[heady hazel]

i just enjoy the 50€ hand me down ender 3 that i can use to print funny trinkets and eventually car parts should i need to

[empty wren]

That is fine

[reef patrol]

[empty wren]

There are aspects in my opinion that are done incorrectly however

[heady hazel]

Pei plate for example is a great upgrade i would never use an ender with a glass plate

[frozen ingot]

sega just exercising the same spiteful anti-consumer behaviour as the rest of its japanese peers

I don't know what it is about japanese tech giants and hating their fans with a passion

[heady hazel]

sega used to be cool tho, i just enjoy the Yakuza games

[empty wren]

Most people will not care too much since it is at nitpicking levels.

[heady hazel]

yeah i agree there its noticeable but hardly matters

[empty wren]

It helps also better understand the system. It is like a car owner tuning their car.

Some people may call it madness though.

[heady hazel]

yeah no that is a rabbit hole i already stepped in, i can tell you its more of a money sink

[empty wren]

3d printing hobby can be too😄

Some people buy a ton of metal machined parts

Though the car stuff is likely more expensive

[heady hazel]

oh definetly yeah i agree, ill still see if i cant 3d print a tpu sleeve to hold a gauge in a pod or i might just scrap that because im not sure about the look

[empty wren]

Depends on how you design it honestly

But what you could also do is create a mould cavity out of pla or petg for silicon for example

The possibilities are endless

[heady hazel]

i mean i just need a friction fit inset that holds it , but i might just scrap it and just stick it on the dash for ease of use since the setting button is on the back

[empty wren]

Hmm why not make the body rigid and perimeter or edge surface areas tpu?

But sure whatever works

[heady hazel]

yeah i might employ my friend that has a multi filament anycubic

[empty wren]

i will not lie, this is already far from stock, and it is not even running yet. Got very disappointed years ago I paid for parts that got delivered late with horrible quality on the stock version of this machine.

[heady hazel]

yeah thats valid, my friend designed a custom one and now that he has the anycubic one he looks at it and is just a bit mad he cant get his to run well

[empty wren]

which one?

[heady hazel]

i think its a Kobra s1

[empty wren]

sounds about right for anycubic

though for some reason the kobra x is getting a lot of praise

[pale sigil]

fucken Bambu i swear

Why does your AMS hate carboard

[heady hazel]

i mean at the price point its pretty neat

[pale sigil]

I have seen this everywhere

[empty wren]

it is even more simple than the a1 and a1 mini systems

also

when it retracts the cut filament

[heady hazel]

the humble ender 3 would never complain about that it just does malfunction in peace

[empty wren]

it goes away from the ptfe tube

[heady hazel]

thats a pretty smart system imo

[empty wren]

not another clone

[pale sigil]

oop

[heady hazel]

a lot of warnings lol

[empty wren]

My German buddy returned his h2d after it failed. The amount of warnings is amazing.

To be fair better to have them since average Joe will use the machine, but an experienced user may get very pissed off being nagged.

[pale sigil]

I mean tbf

its a good job it warned me lol

[heady hazel]

i like my 3d printer like my car , pretty much as much tech as you need and not more

[empty wren]

That is why my buddy wants to build a k1😄

https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Masherbrum-K1

K1 from festival years ago

Think of it as an over engineered voron 2.4(it does not set the bar high in my opinion)

It does not come with a build guide and the cad assembly is not amazing either(a bit sloppy, z drive gear interferes with printed part for instance)

He also has two of these which stuck the landing better in the community. https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Gasherbrum-K3

[heady hazel]

i love when i print something and part of the support rip of details , i have to reprint some teeth for stitch now lol

[empty wren]

you should tune supports some time

[heady hazel]

definetly but then again it also malfunctioned at that layer so eh im just happy i have to fix only a bit

[empty wren]

Once I get my machine running I am gonna spend a month with the slicer

It has a few options others do not

[pale sigil]

dont let me down bambu

xD

[heady hazel]

like i can drive my car around with 90% of the electrics not working, i found out the hard way, i like my 3d printer to be the same

[empty wren]

Not everything needs to be smart

[empty wren]

@heady hazel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REE_Dk7d7Qo

[heady hazel]

ok that is extreme for sure , is it because of the crazy cooling setup?

[empty wren]

nah not even, some people got two server fans on a toolhead

that is only one 4028

[empty wren]

but cooling does matter a lot so does slow speeds

also auxilary fans sadly do not do much at this time

If I didn't fuck up my smart plug auto turning off my printer this print would have been

I tried to turn it back on and resume after hours being off but the adhesive just wouldn't stick which makes sense

[cerulean arch]

you cant reverse engineer trained ai lmao

[tribal dirge]

Then how come RE techniques like model extraction and model inversion are a thing? Also I never said you can perfectly RE an AI model, but you can do it enough to infer hyperparameters and even gain insights on the training data itself.

[cerulean arch]

training the same AI on the same data for the same amount of time with the same parameters will results in a different outcome.

[tribal dirge]

By same parameters you mean same number of parameters or same parameter configuration?

[cerulean arch]

i mean under the exact same conditions the statistical chance that it will train exactly the same is extremely low

[tribal dirge]

Right, they express strange attractor behavior.

But that doesnt mean things like hyperparameters and some tells about its training data cannot be extracted from an already trained model.

Sure, that's really hard to do on a distilled and inferenced model, but on a trained model that hasn't been distilled or inferenced it can be more easily done.

[twin walrus]

Question:

I got offered Wooting TWO HE magnetic keyboard for 56$. Is it worth it?

[marsh glade]

Please don't cross post

[twin walrus]

Roger

[umbral heron]

@twin walrus Two things:

• is it real 2HE or just some other keyboard in 2HE's case
• is it 2HE ARM or AVR - the latter does not support some features

[twin walrus]

No info on that, i can ask.

[umbral heron]

In Wootility you can use "Copy device info" option, that'll tell you everything you need to know

Wooting 80HE
Layout: ANSI
Firmware: v2.11.0
Serial number: A02BXXXX
Chip: ARM
State: Connected```

[twin walrus]

I dont have the keyboard yet so i have to ask the person for the info.

[marsh glade]

Are you purchasing this locally or are they shipping it? If locally, request to plug it into a device before you agree to purchase.

When plugged in, connect to Wootility and use the Rainbow wave RGB effect to confirm that all of the LEDs function correctly. If it's getting shipped remotely, you can ask them to record a short video of that

[leaden kiln]

need a professional cleaning team on that board

[twin walrus]

Great idea. Thanks alot!

[umbral heron]

Just throw it in a dishwasher

Why can't Amazon put the fucking warmth slider on the smaller kindle?????
I want to adjust the display warmness but I can't
Have to buy the bigger one
I don't want a larger display

It's too big and makes the kindle much much less portable

[leaden kiln]

you can use the kindle app on e readers from other brands

[wheat plume]

Only if they are Android based though?

[leaden kiln]

is that a problem? I’m just saying you don’t have to buy the one from amazon if it doesn’t suit your needs, even if you read kindle books

[smoky parrot]

I need you to update your devices

[wheat plume]

Yeh
They were the cheapest though
I do like the boox palma but it's nearly 300 euro ;_;
And it's basically a phone not just a reader

[leaden kiln]

I wouldn’t get anything that small, rather just read on my phone at that point, look at older gens or used ones, boox isn’t the only brand doing android ereaders either, some are probably a bit cheaper

[wheat plume]

Oh they have a 6 inch one
The same size as my Kindle

[wheat plume]

I have the CMF Headphones and they are very much not bulky, I really love the comfort they give and the physical controls on each earcup

Got the white pair but im tempted to get the mint green earcups to replace the light grey cups

Opus

[pale sigil]

https://www.tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/california-introduces-age-verification-law

Literally pointless

[ashen spindle]

no its not

its a parental control system

and potentially a way to setup basic age checks without verification and keeping parents in charge of it

[reef patrol]

Parental sans parent.

Gods forbid parents have to do anything.

[ashen spindle]

nono this basically puts the parents in responsibility

since its done at setup

but that way they wouldnt have to monitor every single site the kid uses or get technologically smart

[reef patrol]

Like I said. Gods forbid parents get involved in the upbringing of their children, and let age checks do their job for them.

[nimble arch]

The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age

So it’s useless

[ashen spindle]

discord using age verification using ID and everyones wants to burn down discord
age check that uses 0 ID data and is fully the parents responsibility and it gets clowned on

so what is it you want to happen

[lyric hatch]

Nothing preferably

[ashen spindle]

so then age ratings and all that should just be deleted?

[fair gull]

no

they just need an actual system you cant just bypass

[ashen spindle]

so short of a perfect system with 0 flaws and no risk, nothing should be done?

[fair gull]

the whole argument of "its the parents responsibility" is complete bs because it already is right now but parents dont care

[ashen spindle]

what about parents that care but dont have the means to setup a kid filter for online or apps

[fair gull]

trust me they do

[ashen spindle]

both versions of parents exist

[fair gull]

more than enough free online things to limit this stuff and its more effective than this OS based approach

[ashen spindle]

is there a downside to this os based approach?

it being easily circumvented isn't making it any worse than it already is

so thats not a downside

[fair gull]

yes it affects literally everyone and is just another tool to harvest data

[ashen spindle]

the law explicitly states its local and apps asking for it are not to send anything else

so its literally just putting the age check at the os setup instead of someone opening steam for the first time and inputting it themselves

[fair gull]

what the law says and what ways around greedy companies find are 2 separate things. we both know laws are usually just suggestions to large enough companies

[ashen spindle]

then we are at laws should never say anything because they are never followed

you kind of have to assume they are at least followed with malicious intent so if they didnt specify anything sure, but if it specifies dont give anything but that age number to apps that ask, thats a clear violation

[fair gull]

well if we speak in extremes then yes id rather have no age check on an OS level than having to store my ID photos, fingerprints and urine sample data in windows

[lyric hatch]

Seems like this whole bill was pushed by tech giants just to absolve them from any responsibility

[fair gull]

and get a foot in the door for data collecting

[ashen spindle]

okay but this bill explicitly says dont collect anything else

and its not like companies not already try to get your every data, so this isnt giving them any new ideas

[fair gull]

yet

[ashen spindle]

yeah but no point protesting a made up version of a law that doesnt yet exist

if that were to change, sure

[fair gull]

hence i protest this foot in the door law that doesnt protect anyone and doesnt give parents more responsibilites or such

[ashen spindle]

how does it put the foot in the door?

[fair gull]

heck i dont even know how you want to enforce this in smth like the linux space

[fair gull]

collect 1 data point now and 200 more in a few years with more laws tagged onto this one

"people accepted this one so why not this other one"

[ashen spindle]

again though, those later ones would explicity have to make this law invalid, whereas without this they wouldnt have to worry about existing laws?

I dont think adding a law that has to be invalidated is opening the door than not having it so you can just do more from the start of the new law

[fair gull]

also who even says that the bad things you try to protect children from... follow asking for an age in the os

lol

[ashen spindle]

because one would assume a idk 12 year old isn't building a pc on their own?

or at least not the majority of them

[fair gull]

ok so it doesnt stop them from playing diddy party roblox or opening shady websites still

unless the entire browser is locked behind the age gate and they cant use the internet

[ashen spindle]

yes its not perfect

[fair gull]

no its useless

[lyric hatch]

How about we just have opt in parental controls and teach parents about it

[ashen spindle]

so if discord would be fine using the age set up at the OS level and you dont have to use ID for it, that would be useless?

[fair gull]

you see media literacy courses and school lessons would actually solve a lot of issues but better to add some dumb age checks

[fair gull]

the discord age check is also useless

[ashen spindle]

yes but better solutions existing doesnt mean ones that cover less are entirely pointless

[fair gull]

the thing that these age checks cover is.... literally the most blatant stuff not the stuff that actually endangers children

[ashen spindle]

idk I think shit like twitter tikotk etc. is some of the most damaging and the big apps would have to follow this

[lyric hatch]

Don't they also have age verification already 👀

[fair gull]

i think the content you can find on youtube without an age verified account, websites you can find quite easily, certain roblox rooms, discord chats and such are far more harming given they are literally linked to human trafficking in some cases and CP content farms

[ashen spindle]

nobody is saying this is solving everything

[fair gull]

i dont even know how many young teens use twitter

[ashen spindle]

a lot

[fair gull]

again it solves nothing

it just pushes the problem around

its like sweeping the dust under the rug instead of actually removing it from the home

looks cleaner but isnt

[ashen spindle]

wouldn't it be better to have some form of starting to try and tackle it, even if not sufficiently, while also making sure its not overboard aka not using ID to make a windows account?

and then build upon that vs wanting a perfect solution from the start or risking more overboard solutions that just harm everyone?

[fair gull]

i dont want a perfect solution

i want one that actually tackles real issues

not made up shit

[ashen spindle]

okay but whats the downside from having this vs not having this, the can to fix more is getting kicked down the road either way

[fair gull]

like hold companies accountable to actually scan their content on their platforms

that kinda stuff

[ashen spindle]

why not do both

[fair gull]

because what you currently supports literally tries to remove the company side of things

now they can just say "well the parents fucked up the os stuff"

"should have just setup the windows account properly so the kid couldnt have done it"

[lyric hatch]

That true, that's why they are the ones pushing for it

[ashen spindle]

I mean I feel like this is still a better step than having discord ask for IDs they then lose and going from there is better than trying to downadjust how a server like discord needs to verify

think its better starting somewhere and going up than starting with an overreach

[lyric hatch]

Just because its not as bad doesn't mean it's good

If it's just a scapegoat for tech giants to get out of any responsibility of actually doing anything to monitor their platform than I would say that is a net negative

Not like they give a shit about the children

[ashen spindle]

I mean sure, but if theres no downside to it I dont mind it as a first step to them build upon it? because if someone then wants to introduce "scane every email for the kids" again you can say no, we got something already, if thats not enough start there and not at 100

[fair gull]

i think tech giant scapegoat is a big ass downside

[ashen spindle]

I dont see that as something that would work for long where if it doesnt work they can just shirk all responsibility

[fair gull]

why? the platform uses OS age verification and filters correctly

so ofc the parents must have fudged up

cant be that the platform has really shitty actual content moderation cause why would they need it now it self moderates

[ashen spindle]

if you think that would happen in world where we need to fight not having to ID verify everything and that that would all stop sure I guess

[fair gull]

the reason this whole id stuff and age verification stuff happens if because "children are in danger on the web" and the actual source of this problem isnt where they go but the moderation of those platforms where there is nothing happening on the legal side actually forcing said platforms to make sure that such content cant exist (in a lot of cases because they are against the law) and then the small portion of children shouldnt access it but adults should

and the reasons children usually can access them isnt that the platforms dont have tools for this... but that they dont care about enforcing anything

again i dont think this os level stuff changes anything and the exact same issues will exist in the exact same way

[grizzled prism]

OS level should be an optional install

Make the parents enable it, not that hard if it's a 1 thing

[pale sigil]

Pretty much

[reef patrol]

Parent's shouldn't get to use a simple switch. They need to be held accountable and actively teach their damn kids how to behave and about content in media.

No no. The GameStop man said this game was safe. It says PG13 after all.

When I worked at a news station watching the cameras I saw 3 guys attack one out of nowhere lol

[worthy bison]

They lowkey are death traps, saw a clip of construction being done and the Waymo started slowly driving into incoming traffic

Bro contacted support and they couldn’t help him so they sent him to another department which wasnt able to remotely take over the car so he just opened the door and stepped out

[magic minnow]

Yeah there’s some wild clips out there

I’ve only taken a Waymo twice when my car was in the shop

[worthy bison]

Yeah if I take a Waymo to campus I’m getting slaughtered LOL

The city drivers will make mincemeat out of a Waymo, they’ve cut me off when I’ve got less than a cars gap between me and the car in front of me to make a left turn from the far right lane

[magic minnow]

I had this happen today

[worthy bison]

Happens every day I go into campus, which is every weekday LOLo

Live laugh love Philly

[magic minnow]

Dude almost sideswiped me when I was driving to work, I saw the car in my peripheral vision and gave a soft break and he just zoomed through

I’m in Austin

[worthy bison]

I’d prefer Austin

I was coming up on campus looking around for parking and I watched this dude speed out of his parking spot, scrape a parked car, dent a random dudes parked work van, and keep driving and I just stared after slamming my brakes

[magic minnow]

People are crazy over here like idk how people have driver licenses out here

[worthy bison]

I will always advocate for mandatory retesting every 2-5 years

There is no reason I should be sharing the road with a 95 year old grandma with her seat all the way up and leaned forward squinting to see the lanes

[magic minnow]

100% a driving ticket should force you to have to retake the driving test

You clearly didn’t learn the rules of the road

i was stuck in like a phone tree but website tree
just gave up and sold the phone

[vestal walrus]

In regards to a display?

[rough osprey]

yup

normal studio display kinda silly but the xdr seems good

[vestal walrus]

Mini LED and OLED displays take the cake. Specifics would depend on use case.

[rough osprey]

its mini led

[vestal walrus]

But its Apple.

Which means you're paying for name rather than tech.

I didnt click on it to see pricing, whats the price?

[rough osprey]

ye apple is really known for bad dispalys

[ashen spindle]

Yes it’s not cheap but there isn’t a better alternative either unless you go to 30k$ mastering monitors lol

[vestal walrus]

Not necessarily, but they are known to charge more for less.

[rough osprey]

the studio xdr doesnt have a rival

[vestal walrus]

Plenty of mini LEDs at 1k or less.

[ashen spindle]

I said better alternative

Not just same tech

[halcyon moss]

most ppl do not need the quality that the xdr display has

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but it’s not like they even attempt to sell it as a gaming or office monitor for excel sheets

[vestal walrus]

For the average consumer, "better" means price to performance.

[ashen spindle]

This isn’t marketed at the average consumer

[rough osprey]

avg consumer aint buying pro products

[vestal walrus]

For workspace, there are tons of Mini LEDs, and even more were just announced at CES

[halcyon moss]

did asus have a comparable display?

[vestal walrus]

Its Apple, the average consumer goes into credit card debt for apple products that they never use.

[rough osprey]

❓

[ashen spindle]

??? Bro the average user isn’t getting a 5k display

[vestal walrus]

Not sure about Mini LEDs, but OLEDs, yeah.

[halcyon moss]

their pro art range many

[ashen spindle]

Doesn’t matter about apple or not people don’t get this just because the screen say apple to run it on their 500$ pc

[vestal walrus]

5k for what you can have for $1,000, thats the point.

[rough osprey]

u cant

[vestal walrus]

You cant get better image quality for 1,000? Lmao

[ashen spindle]

Where do you get a 5k 120hz 2000nits screen for 1000$

[rough osprey]

i need the link too man

[vestal walrus]

$1200, but its ultrawide.

[ashen spindle]

…

[rough osprey]

?

[ashen spindle]

So it’s not 5k

[rough osprey]

[vestal walrus]

2k full price

[rough osprey]

whats the product

[ashen spindle]

Just making it wider isn’t making the ppi go up..

[vestal walrus]

You dont know how monitors work do you

[ashen spindle]

Bruh nobody who asks for a 5k monitor expects to see a “well it’s 5k if you got ultrawide”

[vestal walrus]

5k2k monitors are a thing, Quin. Plz educate yourself before talking to me.

[ashen spindle]

Yeah no shit they add more pixels on the side lol

[rough osprey]

pls share a product name or link

[hushed herald]

let it all work out this is cinema

[vestal walrus]

Blud you can simply search for 5k OLED monitors.

Im not gonna do your homework for you because you dont realize that products exist, and as ive referenced (this is the 3rd time), they just announced a whole new generation of displays at CES. You need a link to the CES recordings too?

[ashen spindle]

If you make it wider you don’t increase the ppi so you don’t have more details which is the entire point of these studio monitors..

[vestal walrus]

Does this guy just yap, or does he not realize that the 5k2k monitors dont have to be stretched res and can display true 5k?

🤦🏻‍♂️

[hushed herald]

quin at this point just buy what ever you want

[ashen spindle]

You’re the one that called it a ultrawide idk what monitor you mean lol

Oh im happy with what i have im just amused

[vestal walrus]

Ultrawide, 21:9, is not forced.... 😐

[rough osprey]

so the lg 5k2k has 275nits base peak brightness with 1300nits peak at 125ppi

and 45inches

[vestal walrus]

Brightness was never part of what im referring to

[rough osprey]

?

[vestal walrus]

Apple makes everything bright as fuck

Their phone displays are hundreds of nits higher than other brands too

[rough osprey]

?

man i give up

[vestal walrus]

When 250-300 nits is already blinding in a moderately lit room, I dont see 1000 nits as a reason to buy the Apple over an LG, Asus, Dell, etc

[ashen spindle]

Lmao that’s almosr half, the xdr would be about 220ppi no?

[ashen spindle]

So you don’t know how hdr works, got it

[vestal walrus]

Who uses HDR for work...?

☠️

[rough osprey]

ye

[nimble arch]

lol, lmao even

[ashen spindle]

Where tf do you think hdr comes from? Counter strike gamers?

[rough osprey]

hdr footage grades itself

[ashen spindle]

monitors with high color accuracy advertised at people working with color
bro just buy a half pixel density ultrawide and disable hdr

[vestal walrus]

This guy still doesn't comprehend that you dont have to use an ultrawide in ultrawide aspect ratio

Holy fuck

[rough osprey]

that doesnt change shit

[vestal walrus]

There's a reason why average IQ is down worldwide.

[hushed herald]

Let it brun im dying guys your so funny discussing about a monitor

[leaden kiln]

Self report

[ashen spindle]

Do you think the pixels magically shrink to the middle then? Instead of just not using the extra side area? lol if you don’t use the entire width it’s not 5k anymore

Imma use a 10ultrawide and just use it in 4:3 mode, imma run games at 4000ppi

[hushed herald]

yeah like Tenz said he would be playing on a Oled but Lan monitors are all TN

[hushed herald]

in my opinion the 80HE first because i dont see that big of an inpact on the superstrike

[paper mason]

Ok 👍

[hushed herald]

yeah so i would go for the OLED and 80HE if i was u

what games are you playing like valorant etc.

[lunar elm]

hall effect kb and oled first, could just wait for the chinese to make superstrike clones in 2 months

logitech’s long term reliability on the SS x2 is questionable

[paper mason]

Ye no Chinese clones. Tried that once and it was bad

[lunar elm]

I’d at least wait for pulsar/lamzu and WLmouse

I personally find my sweet spot to be below 50g

[fringe anchor]

Logi blows

But like the x2 is insane I saw somebody use it and they hit edits 10x faster was genuinely insane

logitech and razer both straight into F tier

nah both are going straight into the dumpster

not listening otherwise

[fringe anchor]

My viper v3 pro and death adder v4 are the new two best mice I’ve ever had. Went through the gauntlet of any mice you can name the all fell short one way or another. Razer is the literal only one with complete solid build quality, sensor latency and performance, click switch quality and tight actuation, and perfect thumb placement with solid thumb switches as well as middle mouse clicks that actuate exactly on release not a split second before like pulsar or lamzu does.

[paper mason]

Bro the chinese clones are off brand versions and the gonna get bricked so much easier

[lunar elm]

i like my wlmouse you’re not taking that away from me

the logitech superlight i had is such a troll

[steady sail]

[lunar elm]

if you’re rly in on esports just get that asus 480/540hz OLEDs

[rough osprey]

strobing can be impressive

[lunar elm]

even sony’s M10s

[rough osprey]

if i only played esports titles, i would get a zowie

[steady sail]

I love my 280hz Glossy ASUS monitor

[lunar elm]

the latest one?

the glossy WOLED 280hz one

[steady sail]

Yeah

[paper mason]

Ok you guys pick Asus ROG Swift OLED pg27aqdp, BenQ Zowie XL2546X+, or Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF

[steady sail]

I got it last month

[sudden imp]

[hushed herald]

[paper mason]

[sudden imp]

[paper mason]

Should I get ASUS ROG Swift OLED 27” 1440P Gaming Monitor (PG27AQDP)?

[steady sail]

If u want that get that

[sullen bear]

Mo27q28g

[paper mason]

Difference?

[steady sail]

Thats a 280hz glossy oled

[paper mason]

Whats good for esports/comp and generally amazing for Fortnite/valorant

[steady sail]

I don’t play either FN/val

[paper mason]

Aw man

[sullen bear]

Matte 280hz tandem woled 4th gen

[paper mason]

Also why is this better than Alienware?

[paper mason]

Can it go to 360 or is that its cap?

[sullen bear]

280hz is the cap iirc

But from the ones you listed iirc they all use the same panel

[paper mason]

Oh 😢

[sullen bear]

But asus has the best glossy coating

[paper mason]

Wdym best glossy coating??

[sullen bear]

Do you even know what ur buying bro

[paper mason]

Bro I wanted something that had high hz, so I went for Alienware now everyone saying Asus for there glossy coating?

[sullen bear]

You only care about hz?

Cuz there willlbe some 1000hz monitors dropping in 2026

And 500+hz oleds

[steady sail]

There is a 720hz OLED already

But only at 1280x720

[frozen ingot]

2007 called, they want their resolution back

[steady sail]

https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-swift-oled-pg27aqwp-w/

[sullen bear]

Yeah th aoc is 540 1440p and 1000 720p

[sullen bear]

And this is 4th gen too iirc

[frozen ingot]

27" too smol pp

gib 32

[quasi sun]

Playing comp shooters on 32 inch gg

[paper mason]

There’s no point in getting a 1000hz monitor I just want one 240+ because the delay input is better than my 75hz asus I have now

[frozen ingot]

now why would I torture myself with comp shooters

[vagrant pagoda]

got telescope googles

[sullen bear]

Then 280hz 4th gen woled would be my vote

[halcyon isle]

e

[paper mason]

Ok but it’s a way higher price than the Alienware plus Alienware has 320 hurts

[quasi sun]

I mean considering ur saving up for them u should probably go with a 240 hz cheaper one, itll already make a massive difference compared to 75hz

[marsh glade]

Obligatory FPS

[sullen bear]

U just said that u only want above 240hz lol

And i didnt even specify a brand or model just the panel type

[frozen ingot]

144 has been perfectly fine for my needs

don't think I'd go any lower though

[paper mason]

Idc about brand im a comp gamer, whatever is the best as in gaming and won’t get scratched as soon as I clean it than I will buy it if people say it’s worth it

[sullen bear]

What specs do you even have?

[quasi sun]

From 75hz to 144hz is a massive difference, anything higher than that is much less noticeable but still better

[lunar elm]

you can always compromise and get a matte coating

[paper mason]

Why dos it matter?

[lunar elm]

can ur pc properly keep up

[sullen bear]

Cuz will u even hit 360+ fps stable?

[quasi sun]

If you can even reach 320 fps on the games ur playing lmao

"i5 8600 and a 1050 ti"

[lunar elm]

if ur pc doesnt maintain at least 400 fps stable 360hz is not gonna be allat useful over our 280hz woled recommendation

[paper mason]

I have a 4060 and I can easily hit 1000+ fps on Minecraft and 300 to 700 on Fortnite

[lunar elm]

[sullen bear]

Yeah on 1080p

Ur buying into 1440p

[lunar elm]

Ok but whats his CPU

[paper mason]

The monitor is 1440p

[lunar elm]

I have a 7600X B580 system on a QHD240hz fast IPS and its barely hitting 400

I could OC it but on a work PC? Not worth the effort

[quasi sun]

But what CPU are you running?

[sullen bear]

Cpu matters less

[paper mason]

Can’t remember thought it was i9 my uncle built it so

[quasi sun]

Still somewhat usefull to know

[paper mason]

Ik

[sullen bear]

If those two games can be ran at his fps on 1440p with that gpu then it would be fine anyways

[lunar elm]

Still matters- If its AM4 non X3D I wouldnt even bother. Intel if it isnt LGA1700 at the very least same situation

[paper mason]

But pretty sure it’s i9

[lunar elm]

i9 which gen lol

[paper mason]

No clue

[lunar elm]

please check

[sullen bear]

Why would it matter if hes only upgrading his monitor?

He says hes hitting that fps on same spec monitor just lower hz

[lunar elm]

1% lows and whether it can handle faster peripherals without tanking more FPS

[paper mason]

How I check 😭 im 15 gimme a break

[lunar elm]

he said he plans on a 80HE- He’s very likely to enable tachyon mode if his CPU is a shitbox it’ll def dip

[sullen bear]

Rask manager

Task

[lunar elm]

settings and device info or go to task manager

[paper mason]

Even my uncle said my pc can handle two of em

[lunar elm]

What?

[paper mason]

It’s like 2020

2022

[quasi sun]

https://giphy.com/gifs/oh-ooohh-of-course-NcrhM3USM6TABpus85

[lunar elm]

brother dont give us the year give us the exact model

[paper mason]

Ok hold on

[lunar elm]

it can be built in 2022 but the hardware itself can be from like 3 decades ago

[quasi sun]

His PC can handle 2 1% lows and 2 FPS's

[paper mason]

Ok

[sullen bear]

I hope it aint 13th or 14th

[paper mason]

It’s not

[quasi sun]

7th gen

[paper mason]

Im positive

[sullen bear]

Ok but open ur task manager or what

[paper mason]

Hold on

[quasi sun]

Ctrl + Shift + Escape

[lunar elm]

lets come back in 3 business days mybe he’ll figure out by then

[paper mason]

Gng I know to to open task manager

[quasi sun]

[lunar elm]

[paper mason]

[sullen bear]

[sullen bear]

[quasi sun]

[sullen bear]

But thats a good cpu anyways

[paper mason]

Ty

[quasi sun]

Think you might've been scammed by your uncle

[lunar elm]

Thing is… it couldve been an old gen i9 so i guess its not the worst outcome

[paper mason]

Seee

[paper mason]

[frozen ingot]

[frozen ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/wololo-age-of-empires-empires-szaman-shaman-gif-21642450

Wait Im trying to remember the asus model name-

[tropic sundial]

[lunar elm]

Yeah no its not coming off the top of my head

[paper mason]

Wtf is the name Dave

[lunar elm]

asus naming scheme for monitors is like that indian movie scene where the woman is telling the license plate to the man

[azure otter]

pg32ucdp 🗣️

[paper mason]

Yo bro you need to get touched for making fun of me than not knowing the name

Like

[quasi sun]

At what point does it go from being clueless to ragebaiting?

[paper mason]

Idfk

[paper mason]

Your own

[lunar elm]

his definition of “ragebaiting” is keep knocking on all the doors till you knock on the wrong one and get humiliated

[paper mason]

Thats basically what Ragebait is 😑😐😑😐

[paper mason]

Ts the monitor ur were talking about?

[quasi sun]

Totally, buy it

[lunar elm]

nah my definition of ragebait is whatever I dont like=ragebait

[paper mason]

Ah ok 👍

[lunar elm]

[paper mason]

Unc be quiet

[smoky parrot]

Dude wtf are you even saying

[paper mason]

Think that'll suffice

[paper mason]

Chickonion u came into the convo hella late

I ain’t listening to that

[smoky parrot]

I wish you left it hella early. But here we are

[lunar elm]

hows that lowly 6 core cpu working out for you

might be able to only launch valorant with that small thing

mood

[paper mason]

amazing Ty, also I’m not spending $1300 for some glossy coating 💀

[paper mason]

Nah they were talking about something else in that manga wtf

[lunar elm]

[quasi sun]

Conversation got so lost in the sauce the monitor reccomendation was lost
