[sullen bear]

Worst part is that ppl bought the 5080 gold

For the price of a 5090

[frigid helm]

why's this dealer

[velvet crown]

Is a 5080 good for my first pc ?

[cerulean arch]

Unless you want high refresh 1440p

[bright briar]

what games do you play

[velvet crown]

R6, bo3 zombies , arc raider,call of the wild hunter @bright briar

[tribal dirge]

lmao

[cerulean arch]

you dont get high refresh on a 5080, barely on a 4090 and on a 5090 its acceptable in a lot of games

[steady sail]

Bo3 has some issues with 50 series

But u can fix it

[cerulean arch]

so i dont think a 5090 is that overkill performance wise

cost wise yeah

[steady sail]

What is high refresh rate for you ? 240hz? Or above 360hz ?

[bright briar]

9070 xt or 5070 ti should be more than enough. I would just pay attention to deals. 9060 xt also a good choice and more budget friendly

[halcyon moss]

Yes, it's a very high end card

[cerulean arch]

at least 240 consistently which means not avg but 1% and 0.1% lows have to be close to it, 1% maybe exceeding it or you dont truly have 240 fps

[steady sail]

If we talk about competitive games u gonna put the graphics to low anyway so

[cerulean arch]

gl in arc or the finals for example

doesnt really change much

and you still need gpu headroom or your cpu cant push frames either way

[steady sail]

[velvet crown]

This my first pc I’m coming from a ps5 how did I do

[leaden kiln]

remove the warning label

[leaden kiln]

I am tempted to get another camera

[bright briar]

consooome

[leaden kiln]

yur

[sullen bear]

Is your aio on the wrong way?

Also tf is that cable management

[heady hazel]

its the wrong way 100%

[steady sail]

Its actually placed down good

[reef patrol]

I think they meant the fans

[steady sail]

Maybe

[fair gull]

i woudl always do bottom right

so the air bubbled collect somewhere you can see them

(for clarification this is a joke pls follow the instructions guidance on how to place rads)

[sullen bear]

Meant the screen itself/pump orientation

[desert sorrel]

anyone know why my keyboard (i have 60he) makes me type a quotes and it makes me press space before it types or it iwll make an accent on like i and u like this í ï and stuff

[ashen spindle]

wrong windows language

or wrong keybinds

[crimson wigeon]

Your chosen keyboard layout has that as a dead key, so change keyboard layout to one that doesn't have those dead keys if you don't like them

[desert sorrel]

okay

also my closing square bracket doesnt work but my closing wiggly bracket does when i press shift what could be the cause of this

[leaden kiln]

same thing as what they already said

[steady sail]

[ashen spindle]

yeah not thats not even close to accurate

[umbral heron]

9070XT is really popular and yet usage drops down?

I wondewr how they measure it though

[ashen spindle]

they dont

they estimate it based on public revenue number and such

aka its mostly a guess and just doesnt align with anything

they say in the same market that they estiamte AiBs make up 103% of the market

like.. 3% from another dimension or what

[umbral heron]

That's what Nvidia meant
The more you buy
People seem to bought so much it's at 103% now

[ashen spindle]

like, lisa said on the earngins calls jpr numbers dont match their own

and I think she'd not risk a hefty fine of lying to investors on an earnings call if they were close enough

[iron wave]

How do I find the kernel manifest XML file for my phone so I can build the kernel?

None of the hashes appear to be lining up. .-.

[wheat plume]

I'm actually impressed by Gemini
I told it what dap and IEMs I have an asked it what settings on my dap to edit so I get warm yet detailed sound
And damn it did a good job

The IEMs I have are really treble focused.... I tuned that down a little but kept the bass as normal

[lime sequoia]

I agree with Bee, I’d rotate the AIO screen to line up with the case windows instead of the current waterfall orientation.

[frozen ingot]

wouldn't have gone with liquid cooling/AIO for my first pc honestly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kluoZ9RhmVo

well this video isn't making a good case for switching

[wheat plume]

Considering that system76 thought it was a good idea to use cosmic desktop on the stable build of popOS.....
A desktop that's still in alpha version ....
Not sure wtf they were thinking, you can definitely tell it's alpha in this video

The other two on CachyOS and Bazzite are happy though

I still recommend Bluefin
Basically 0 maintenance
Works with secure Boot automatically
Has Nvidia driver build

[ashen spindle]

idk why linus would try the one os variant he keeps having issues with

its like people beind mad at asrock and keep using it

[frozen ingot]

tbh it sounds pretty good on paper

[ashen spindle]

not really

[frozen ingot]

it claims to do desktop stuff and gaming well, which is what a lot of people would want

[wheat plume]

Yeah not sure why he gave it a try at the same time they switched to a new desktop
He didn't know they switched desktop either
Probably thought he was still using gnome like last time he tried popOS

[ashen spindle]

yeah but just like with any product you should trust someone who knows about it and not a products marketing page essentially

[wheat plume]

popOS?

[frozen ingot]

and there are several sources that are not popos themselves that recommend it for those criterias..

[ashen spindle]

non rolling distros are just not a good idea for people new to it because it leads you to so many traps

[wheat plume]

Especially the ppa hell you can end up with on Ubuntu

[frozen ingot]

I don't even know what a rolling or non rolling distro means

[ashen spindle]

"stable" release schedule

[wheat plume]

Non rolling = you need a clean install on every new major release
Rolling = you can upgrade to each new release with no data loss

[frozen ingot]

why the hell would anyone want to use a non rolling one

[wheat plume]

Windows is technically a rolling release

[ashen spindle]

servers

[wheat plume]

Technically non rolling is more stable too

[ashen spindle]

ehhh not really

[wheat plume]

And more outdated cause it doesn't update their base packages too often

[ashen spindle]

its stable when you do nothing on it that updates like servers or nas

[wheat plume]

That's why I said technically...wait theoretically would be a better word

[ashen spindle]

you dont want that for your daily system where you have updats on games and whatnot that might break it if you wait for the update in next months

also you dont need a clean install on non rolling distros

its preferred but thats also older and not the main defining thing of it

[wheat plume]

Maybe it's safe to inplace upgrade one release
But not two or more

I do trust the upgrade process on Fedora though

Once upgraded my friends laptop from 39 to 42 inplace using the Software app and it worked flawlessly

[ashen spindle]

okay so their tech videos are starting to become even more pointless

[wheat plume]

I definitely trust bluefin updates
They are tested before being pushed out and it anything goes wrong, it rolls back automatically and stays on the preupdate version for 90 days before trying again

[wheat plume]

[pale sigil]

He said this on wan snow and I cringed hard

[wheat plume]

Also
I think the AI is outdated
CachyOS is definitely the better option for gaming compared to popOS

[pale sigil]

So does cachyos

Idk what you did with secure boot

[heady hazel]

Linus itself seems to be just loosing the plot as of recent times

[pale sigil]

But it was fine for me

[wheat plume]

Yeh
But CachyOS is Arch and doesn't have image based updates with automatic rollback

[pale sigil]

Linus said on wan show he knows popOS wasn't the best option.

[ashen spindle]

think fedora still has the only up to date hdr and other current monitor things to make shit work? so if anything thats probably a good idea

[wheat plume]

Think you mean Windows is losing the plot

[pale sigil]

He wanted to approach it like a normie and use chatgt

Or something like that

[ashen spindle]

which is a dumb take

[pale sigil]

Pretty sure he mentioned cachyos

[wheat plume]

Fedora + plasma desktop is best for HDR , vrr etc
You can use gnome but you need to manually enable the VRR setting using dconf editor or refine

[pale sigil]

On wan

[frozen ingot]

well most people ain't going to have a helpdesk on discord for a second opinion

[wheat plume]

Yeh that's why the other guy tried it and got on very well

[ashen spindle]

no but they will look at a ltt video or similar at least

so they should not use chatgpt to just make lower quality shit then

[wheat plume]

Which now tells them to use popOS and the proceeds to show them that popos was horrible

[pale sigil]

ChatGPT wanted me to nuke my Plex to move it

[pale sigil]

again

Which he also said on wan show but he was gonna give it a second chance

[ashen spindle]

like you dont need to watch wendell to find out ah fedora kde or whatever has the most up to date hdr/monitor things so probably a good idea

[vapid ruin]

oh no

[pale sigil]

I feel like all debian/Ubuntu based distros are poop

[wheat plume]

VRR works perfectly on Fedora Workstation for me
I haven't tested HDR because my monitor has the fake HDR certification

[wheat plume]

Yep

[pale sigil]

Desktop wise anyway

[wheat plume]

Fedora and Arch are best options

[pale sigil]

Still my go to for servers

[wheat plume]

I would recommend Fedora
Since most software has an RPM package on their download page

[ashen spindle]

copying so I dont retype what someone else said in another discord, and what I think is probably a good list of reccomendations

[pale sigil]

I've used fedora in the past

[heady hazel]

no i am 100% meaning that Linus sebastian is more and more delusional with each mansion he builds

[wheat plume]

Ohhh
Yes
True

[heady hazel]

like he sucks of the Linus that created linux on the pc build but then cant bother to use linux?

[ashen spindle]

what?

[pale sigil]

Uh

[ashen spindle]

yeah no that entirely misses the point of the video

[pale sigil]

Also

[wheat plume]

Lol right????
Then complains what s horrible experience Linux was on this new video because he used a desktop still in alpha

[pale sigil]

Servers

[pale sigil]

Honestly no

[wheat plume]

Idk why popOS used cosmic on stable

Silly system76

[crimson wigeon]

Because they think it's ready

[frozen ingot]

I mean that has nothing to do with linus torvalds or linux in general

[wheat plume]

Clearly not

[pale sigil]

I honestly disagree

His issues with popOS are prominent on other systems.

Different experiences for everyone

[frozen ingot]

I can respect linus torvalds for his work but still find linux a convoluted mess to get into

[pale sigil]

I have loads of my own issues with cachy

[wheat plume]

Use Fedora / Bluefin or CachyOS
That's all you need

[pale sigil]

Meanwhile my experience with popOS was pretty smooth

In the past

[frozen ingot]

and linus himself is critical of how confusing the distro jungle is

[wheat plume]

Yeh
That is a problem

Just ignore 90% of the distros
Focus on the big 3
Mint
Fedora
Arch

[pale sigil]

Like, I don't think there's any distro that just works and is flawless.

[wheat plume]

Not Ubuntu anymore.....canonical ruined it

[pale sigil]

Like, genuinely, no matter what you're going to have a more frustrating experience.d

[wheat plume]

Flawless is all I can describe bluefin as

Everything worked 100% perfectly

[pale sigil]

Whether it's compatibility, random issues or stuff that won't work well

[pale sigil]

It's not though

[frozen ingot]

on your hardware*

[wheat plume]

For me it was, at least

[frozen ingot]

[pale sigil]

Exactly my point

[ashen spindle]

there isnt any flawless distro, just like windows isnt flawless, but there are distros that are just not set out for daily users and using those is just a gamble, like popos

[wheat plume]

I do have all AMD though
And a wifi card that works well on Linux

[pale sigil]

As much as I hate windows and I mean hate

Most of the time it just works and is plainly simple to use

Unfortunately that does come with it's consciences

Like being able to install malware with a double click

[frozen ingot]

I can't say I hate windows, not 10 at least, but my hatred for microslop is steadily increasing

[wheat plume]

I like using Windows on a laptop
But much less on a desktop

Windows touchpad gestures are amazing and I wish I could replicate them on Linux

[pale sigil]

There you go lol

A perfect example

I fucking despise the touchpad on Linux

[frozen ingot]

their leadership is delusional and don't give a rats ass about the end user anymore

[pale sigil]

I hate Wayland Vs x11

[wheat plume]

Linux has amazing touchpad gestures for navigating the desktop
But that's all you can do with them

No music control
No anything else but desktop navi

[frozen ingot]

like the rest of the techbro club its all about the mighty shareholder

[pale sigil]

Right now I can remote into my desktop easily whenever I want, run Wayland? Ha not a chance you're shit out of luck

[heady hazel]

i mean i have not seen the video but based on what i read here he did not do a good job showcasing linux while giggling like a schoolgirl during the video he built a pc for the other linus? maybe that makes more sense( be patient i had a beer or 2)

[pale sigil]

Want to easily mount your steam library you used on past windows? Fuck you haha!

[ashen spindle]

if you havent seent the video it's often not a good idea forming an opinion on what was wrong about it

[pale sigil]

We can do it but we don't want you to!

Want to run two steam instances at once? Not a problem! We'll fuck something up and have it glitch out.

[wheat plume]

I currently do mount my steam library from a drive I used previously on Windows

It's easy now with the gnome disk tool

[ashen spindle]

the point was to figure out something that someone who cant just call up torvalds can do and not have a premium helpdesk on standby

[crimson wigeon]

Well that's just Steam being trash

[wheat plume]

https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives/

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

Lana

Hun

A good desktop shit just works

I don't have to faff around

[wheat plume]

This guide isn't just for Bazzite

[pale sigil]

That doesn't change my point

[heady hazel]

if you have seen any linus tech tips video past 2022 you know they do half assed videos , where they portray things in a bad way simply because they messed up and did not bother to rectify the issues, there are several issues in their testing lab and in terms of content itself.

[pale sigil]

And this is for gnome

Out of many desktop environments

[frozen ingot]

I mean microslops own support is utterly worthless for most part but at least its been around for so long and used by so many you can basically find 99% of solutions to problems searching the web

troubleshooting linux is an endless rats nest of possible solutions

[wheat plume]

You can install Gnome Disks on every desktop

[pale sigil]

Linux Desktops aren't and never will be simple, easy and just work, its a mess.

[pale sigil]

I think you're not getting my point.

[wheat plume]

Bluefin just works on every system I installed it on
Including my friends Nvidia gaming laptop

[pale sigil]

You just sent me a guide to fuck around in disks just so I can use my steam library

[heady hazel]

well i would say with linux you have to handpick a distro thats foolproof

[zenith silo]

I made a Linux duel boot and immediately broke it when trying to install amd drivers

[pale sigil]

Not sure how you did that

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah cause you did something you don't have to do, unless your distro is really junk

[pale sigil]

to be clear I'm using Linux ATM

Nothing just works Lana

Windows is far from perfect but shit just works most of the time.

[wheat plume]

Install AMD drivers on Linux?
They are already built in

[pale sigil]

Like, I'm genuinely pissed off how shitty Wayland is, it blocks remote fucking clients holy shit.

Why is it so shit

[frozen ingot]

one half of me wants to put together a rig for linux, the other wants the money I could get for the gpu I would need for the linux rig

[crimson wigeon]

Except the things that I use that OS for. Ofc it's more likely crappy software like how Highguard blocks Linux players, I wanted to check it out before they kill it but it just immediately crashed on startup. Had to fiddle for a long while to get it working. Windows gaming sure works amirite?

[pale sigil]

It's literally the biggest reason I haven't switched fully.

[wheat plume]

Wayland is mostly shitty because every time they add a new feature
They need to then add a hacky jank workaround to get it working on Nvidia GPUs too

[pale sigil]

Except my issue has nothing to do with Nvidia.

[wheat plume]

Since they can't just edit the Nvidia drivers to smoothly work with the feature

[wheat plume]

Yeh
But those janky workarounds are still present on AMD systems

[pale sigil]

So many applications don't work with Wayland.

It's stupid

[pale sigil]

What are you on about.

[crimson wigeon]

Nah in this case it's more core developers not wanting certain features (for some good and bad reasons) so they just endlessly argue and bikeshed how to do something

[pale sigil]

That doesn't relate to my frustration.

[crimson wigeon]

Nothing gets done

[pale sigil]

Exactly

It has nothing to do with Nvidia

Wayland is just shit

With stupid choices

In terms of experience then yes Nvidia poop

[wheat plume]

I'm shit and make stupid choices
Maybe that's why Linux just works perfectly for me

[pale sigil]

But im on about core functions

[pale sigil]

I think you're just numb to the stupid shit

An error that requires 10 terminal commands is basically taking a sneeze

Even though that's far from user friendly

[wheat plume]

I don't experience any stupid shit
Except my printer not wanting to connect to my Wi-Fi so I need to physically connect it to my laptop with a very old and damaged USB B cable to print anything

[pale sigil]

Like don't get me wrong, I was saying hospitals should use Ubuntu or something as 90% of work is done in the browser.

[pale sigil]

My WiFi is garbage on Linux

My sound is garbage on Linux

On amd

[wheat plume]

🤔

[pale sigil]

On my laptop.

[wheat plume]

Idk what AMD has to do with sound

[pale sigil]

And on my cachyos audio just didn't work

[pale sigil]

Since you always use the Nvidia card

[pale sigil]

I had to switch to pipewire which isn't just working!

[wheat plume]

My mouse didn't want to work on Ubuntu last time I tried Mint....

[pale sigil]

Also my mouse

I had issues with that even though Logitech worked pretty well in the past.

Yes I tried all the options

[wheat plume]

It worked once I unplugged and plugged back in the dongle

But I had to do that every boot

[crimson wigeon]

Audio problems still a thing huh, has worked pretty well for me, dare I say better than on Windows. Especially when I'm occasionally using the cursed shit known as BT Audio

[pale sigil]

Linux is great on laptop, shit on desktop.

[crimson wigeon]

Windows you launch something and bam it switches to headset mode and makes everything sound awful

[pale sigil]

Because you only need to do basic shit on laptops

[wheat plume]

My Bluetooth headphones work way better on Linux too

[pale sigil]

How

Literally how

[wheat plume]

I have to forget and repair them on Windows when I boot into it
On Linux , I click connect and their work right away

[pale sigil]

I connect my headphones and bam they work

[pale sigil]

That is a good example of what I mean

Everyone has different experiences

I've never had that issue with Bluetooth on Windows

[wheat plume]

Same for my Xbox controller

[pale sigil]

Same with controllers, flawless.

[wheat plume]

My Xbox controller also needs to be forgotten on Windows

Ironic cause Microsoft make both Xbox and Windows

[pale sigil]

Yet I know windows is garbage and your issues are very real.

[crimson wigeon]

Computor will probably show up differently depending on OS, so whenever you switch you probably have to re-pair

[wheat plume]

Yes
But when I boot in to Linux after using Windows
I just click connect and my headphones work
No need to forgot them on Linux

[pale sigil]

I don't even need to click pair on windows

[wheat plume]

But if I boot back to Windows I need to forgot them

[pale sigil]

They just pair but don't make them default

So I can change to them whenever I want

[wheat plume]

Not pair... Connect

[pale sigil]

That's what I mean

[wheat plume]

I do have to repair on Windows though

[frozen ingot]

windows likes to pile up usb devices and keep their fingerprints in some registry

[pale sigil]

I'm still rooting for Linux desktops

I really am and it's better than it's ever been.

[frozen ingot]

if you plug in and use too many eventually it gets stocked up and doesn't let you access new devices properly

[wheat plume]

WTF

[frozen ingot]

its stupid but its what it does, you have to manually delete some of the old ones

[crimson wigeon]

Oh yeah also Windows every time I want to use the analoginess of my Wooting keyboard I have to clear entries from the registry, never ever had to do such nonsense on Linux lol

[pale sigil]

But it's still only for people who are ready to do stupid shit and deal with stupid shit

[wheat plume]

Dafuq

[crimson wigeon]

Because it's creating duplicate entries in the registry or some shit, this was fixed years ago but came back and am not sure why, maybe I just plugged it into the wrong port again but am lazy to change

[wheat plume]

I just want Firefox to be able to support WebUSB so I can use wootility without needing to install Chrome

[pale sigil]

Linux just blocks that.

[pale sigil]

Stop using a shit browser

[wheat plume]

Chrome?
I only use that for Wootility

[pale sigil]

Firefox

[wheat plume]

It's not shit

[pale sigil]

It's very shit

[wheat plume]

Nah

[pale sigil]

Switch to brave

[wheat plume]

Brave is too clunky

[ashen spindle]

it's objectively just a worse browser aside from maybe data privacy usage

[frozen ingot]

USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices that currently connected to your computer, as well as all USB devices that you
previously used. For each USB device, extended information is displayed: Device name/description, device type, serial number (for mass storage devices),the date/time that device was added, VendorID, ProductID, and more...USBDeview also allows you to uninstall USB devices that you previously used, and disconnect USB devices that are currently connected to your computer.

[ashen spindle]

performance is just straight up worse

[pale sigil]

Clucky???

[frozen ingot]

I use that to clean up the usb device registry

[pale sigil]

Clucky?

[wheat plume]

I feel like the brave UI is very slow to use

Firefox is clean and simple

[pale sigil]

Wtf how

Brave is clean and simple

[crimson wigeon]

All chromium based browsers work poorly in my experience, hell only recently did they get autoscrolling and even that is scuffed

[pale sigil]

Wtf

[wheat plume]

And I can theme Firefox with CSS so I can make it blend in with my gnome desktop

[frozen ingot]

chrome/chromium work better than firefox does to my experience

[ashen spindle]

if you compare speedometer results on firefox vs chromium/webkit/idk what else you see firefox is insanely worse

[pale sigil]

Pretty sure you can do that in brave

[wheat plume]

Which is why Firefox can look like a native gnome app

[frozen ingot]

firefox is slower and clunkier yeah

[pale sigil]

Literally looks similar to brave running in gnome

[frozen ingot]

at least on win10

[wheat plume]

Firefox is great for privacy
Got ublock origin

[wheat plume]

And I use my dns profile on it

[pale sigil]

What's clunky?

[ashen spindle]

firefox has better privacy than chrome maybe, not other chromium browsers

[wheat plume]

It doesn't use the native window decorations and theme colors either

[pale sigil]

Brave has dns, it's whole thing is privacy and it's built in stuff is better than ublock in a lot of cases.

The only thing I like about Firefox is containers

I wish they existed elsewhere

[wheat plume]

Brave is also made by a raging homophobe bigot

[pale sigil]

Who care s

Most cool things are made by shit people

[ashen spindle]

if thats an argument better not check what firefox people do/did...

[wheat plume]

Yeh
I really wanted to try Omarchy :'(

[pale sigil]

Also isn't Firefox moving towards being an ai browsers

[pale sigil]

Also ye this

[wheat plume]

Yeh ... Like literally every browser and app these days

[pale sigil]

Didn't they basically say they can sell your soul

[frozen ingot]

to their credit that's fully opt out

[wheat plume]

But you can disable the ai

[pale sigil]

That's not the point

[ashen spindle]

also uh, the exact same person was ceo of mozilla and he was their chief tech officer for like a decade

so like, based on that you cant touch firefox either

[wheat plume]

..... Ugh -.-

I hate people

[frozen ingot]

funny how the tech industry are either trans gay furries or raging bigots

[lyric hatch]

Fr it's a funny argument to make given Firefox's

[wheat plume]

I hate myself
I'm including myself with people

[pale sigil]

Firefox is the old man that needs to let go.

Stop making web devs lives a nightmare

[wheat plume]

Or racist femboys

[pale sigil]

Stop breaking shit all the time

And stop being slower than my grandma

[frozen ingot]

yeah firefox hasn't been good since like 2011

[pale sigil]

I used Firefox for a few years after quantum launch

I genuinely loved the container feature

[wheat plume]

I could probably use ungoogled chromium
Got the clean UI that can follow the native gtk desktop theme without issues

But then there's no ad blocker

[pale sigil]

Ublock?

[ashen spindle]

ublock lite still exists..

[wheat plume]

Ublock origin doesn't work on Chrome anymore

[frozen ingot]

yes it does

[pale sigil]

Works on brave

[wheat plume]

Yeh but lite is like 30% compared to the regular version

[pale sigil]

Brave

[ashen spindle]

nah

[frozen ingot]

not officially, but you can edit some parameters and it'll work again

[lyric hatch]

Brave mobile app is good too

[wheat plume]

Ok yes
On mobile I do like brave

[pale sigil]

Hasn't been for me for ages tbh

[wheat plume]

It's not clunky on desktop ...don't like

Same feeling as opera Browser

[lyric hatch]

What's your issues with it

[tribal dirge]

I use Arc broser on mobile usually

[wheat plume]

Arc is only iOS and macOS right?

[tribal dirge]

they make one for windows too

[wheat plume]

Oh hmm

[pale sigil]

Honestly I don't know, it just freezes after I search randomly a while and I have to force close.

No lag or anything

It's as if the tab becomes the issue as if I can close the tab my browser recovers

But it's always when I use the search function

[tribal dirge]

also works on android

[pale sigil]

I've cleared cache, data and even re installed.

[wheat plume]

Does brave have an option to import all my tabs and tab groups from Chrome? On Android

[lyric hatch]

Yeah I'll pass on the android app

[tribal dirge]

I mainly like it because it it has a better automatic element blocker which blocks ads and popups

[wheat plume]

Oh..... Yikes that's not good

[pale sigil]

I'm trying to replicate my issue but it won't work lol

[tribal dirge]

its more aggressive than brave lmao

[pale sigil]

It's still in beta

[tribal dirge]

yeah they focus way more on the webkit version

[pale sigil]

Has the desktop version been abandoned yet

[wheat plume]

I really dislike these wavy lines when updating and installing apps now

[pale sigil]

Is that even new

[wheat plume]

Maybe a month or two new

[tribal dirge]

no they still keep the windows version updated

they dont lag too far behind the latest chromium versions

https://resources.arc.net/hc/en-us/articles/22513842649623-Arc-for-Windows-2023-2026-Release-Notes

[pale sigil]

That's nice, it was a workhorse when I was doing ticket support

Multi window is a godsent

[tribal dirge]

yee

[pale sigil]

I just wish it had sync options

Oh I just read they added sync

However it's their login system?

Oh apparently it's meh

[zenith silo]

From what i read, the lack of amd drivers was why I couldn't use 240hz and was locked to 120hz

So I tried installing them and my Linux install got bricked

[iron wave]

I have made a questionable financial decision.

[vapid ruin]

Ooo, a new 3d printer?

[iron wave]

A used AM4 CPU.

5950X

[pale sigil]

Just why

[iron wave]

I wanted more cores.

https://tenor.com/view/upgrades-robots-gif-21291099

Hopefully when the bubble bursts I can turn the 5900X into a server.

[pale sigil]

For what XD

[iron wave]

Compiling stuff faster

[lunar elm]

its not really gonna be that much meaningfully faster

[iron wave]

That's 33% more.

[pale sigil]

Here

Happens A LOT lately

[bright briar]

siiiiiiir

that wallpaper

siiiir

also why you got 63 tabs opened 😭

[pale sigil]

What's wrong with my wallpaper

[pale sigil]

Once I turned 30 I started my journey to boomerhood which includes forgetting to close tabs.

[sinful quest]

This should start at the age of 30?
Guess I am a little early

[sinful quest]

It's uhhh I like it

[empty wren]

Orca slicer and bambu studio are the most cursed

[iron wave]

That's normal.

[lyric hatch]

Need to hit one of these

[latent mural]

fixed my fan curves and UV, got much better results

[thorny robin]

Hello is there someone who can please help me with my pc

It wont show display anymore and has a orange light

[latent mural]

likely a ram error @thorny robin

[thorny robin]

How can i fiz

Fix

[latent mural]

did you clean your PC up or anything? could just not be seated in right

but orange generally = Ram issue

[thorny robin]

This is a first build

I didnt clean or anything

Just built it but it booted bios like 30 mins ago

Idk why now

[latent mural]

try pulling out the ram sticks and re-seating it

also did you enable xmp or expo? 90% orange whenever I work on a build is physical ram issue

BUT I mean, maybe your ram sticks are bad and cant run the OC speeds?

though I will say, I havent ever dealt with that

does the light look like this?

orange and DIMM silk screened next to it?

[thorny robin]

Oh i think i might of accidentally enabled expo

Damn how can i undo that

Yeah

[reef patrol]

Reset the BIOS

[latent mural]

just threw that Idea out there lmao, Im not sure tbh!

[thorny robin]

How i get no display

Ill send a pic

[reef patrol]

You open the case

[latent mural]

there is a reset bios button on your mobo back side

[reef patrol]

Haha no. Not always.

[latent mural]

really? huh!

the more you know, that seems VERY inconvenient

[reef patrol]

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

[reef patrol]

You can take the time mentioned with a massive grain of salt. A couple of seconds for the pin or battery is typically enough (you can turn on the PC a couple of times to fully de-charge the capacitors)

[latent mural]

jesus that's a PRETTY AIO on a side note; I keep seeing that around!

what model is it?

[thorny robin]

Its a stage x something

I forgot i just saw it at microcenter and i liked it

[lunar elm]

i think its some tryx paranoma one smth along those lines

[thorny robin]

There that one

But mines the stage version

[latent mural]

:0 200 big bucks

very nice! but too rich for my blood, especially for a cooler

anyway @thorny robin your PC is failing mem training.

1. Watch the vid Mansen sent and reset your BIOS with the cmos battery

and if that dosent work

2. Reset the RAM to see if that fixes it, if all else fails

90% of the time I've gotten that error its just the ram didnt slot in right

be sure to use the right channels, or check if you did if you're already in there

Use A2 and B2

[thorny robin]

Hey guys

I found smt im not sure if its related to what you meant

It says bios flbk

Would that be it?

Im kinda scared to press it

@latent mural

[latent mural]

thats a bios flashback, it rolls your bios back to the last working state

incase a bios install fucked up or whatever

[thorny robin]

Would that work?

[latent mural]

honestly, dosent hurt lmao

[thorny robin]

It didnt

[latent mural]

wont break the PC mind you

but yea, like I said

[lunar elm]

no

[latent mural]

just try re-seating the ram sticks

[thorny robin]

I did

Didnt work

[lunar elm]

it could literally just be memory training

am5 loves to mem train on first few boots

[thorny robin]

What if it turns off though

[lunar elm]

just turn it back on again

[thorny robin]

Because it turns off automatically

[lunar elm]

leave it for 5 mins

[lunar elm]

that means its failing the mem training

you need to go and pull out the cmos battery or short the cmos pins

[thorny robin]

Ok

Im guessing this is it

[lunar elm]

yes

flash a light and take the cmos battery out with the yt guide sent by someone else earlier

[thorny robin]

Alr you said 5- 10 mins right

[lunar elm]

on?

[reef patrol]

Unplug the PC (Or set it to 0 on the back), pop the battery out and click the power button a few times. Pop the battery back in and power the PC on.

You do not need to wait minutes.

[thorny robin]

Guys

Its back but i have this now

Is this cpu temp normal?

I have a ryzen 7 9800x3d

Its marking this but all fans are running

Should i be worried

Its green now it was white

@lunar elm

Its steady 84 celcious

Celsius

[reef patrol]

That AIO isn't installed correctly.

There is no way in hades it runs at EIGHTY while idle in the BIOS

[thorny robin]

Ok time to bring it down by piece

Btw by not instaled properly do you mean connections or like physical contact

[latent mural]

How much do you wanna bet it’s the dreaded plastic ontop of the heatsink

HOW MUCH

[latent mural]

Also @thorny robin use the AIO pump header for you aio

[lunar elm]

did you peel the plastic off the copper coldplate of the aio

[thorny robin]

Yes

Oh my god i think i figured it out

And if its what i think it is then its gon be embarrassing

Oh my god thats embarrassing

I was using the wrong brackets

Should i worry about the other fans if its marking them as not running even though they are

@reef patrol

[latent mural]

No wonder you were at 80

[thorny robin]

Yeah lol

Should i worry about those fans though?

[wheat plume]

Were you using HDMI?

HDMI is nerfed to hell and back on Linux cause the HDMI Forum rejected AMDs code to actually make it work like it does on Windows
It's limited to 120Hz on Linux and doesn't support VRR

[umbral heron]

Only 2.0 support because HDMI Forum are assholes

But DP happily works with 4k240 even

[wheat plume]

DisplayPort masterrace

[umbral heron]

[wheat plume]

There is no lack of AMD drivers on Linux
They are baked into the very kernel itself
Idk what you tried to install tbh

[umbral heron]

Maybe Ubuntu
The only distro where you have to use 3rd party repos to install userspace drivers

[wheat plume]

....right
I forgot about that

Their "Manage Additional Drivers" app that's only useful to get the Nvidia drivers for you

[nimble arch]

[wheat plume]

Ubuntu garbage

[nimble arch]

Ubuntu should be rolling for non-LTS support channels.

[wheat plume]

You know what
Yes actually

Lts is extremely outdated by the time the next lts drops
Even more old than Debian stable

Being older than Debian stable is an achievement

Gemini speaking facts or lies?

I asked if turning off the EQ on my Fiio Echo Mini would have the same result to audio output as converting the song to 24bit

[fair gull]

sounds like bs

[wheat plume]

What part?

[fair gull]

that it would treat 24bit files different to 16bit files at a hardware level

because the hardware would not see the files directly but some firmware would handle data reading and talking with the audio hardware

idk what you even googled to get that reply

[vapid ruin]

This is BS

There's no audible Difference between 16bit and 24bit audio

[fair gull]

"it bypasses the internal software mixer and eq" like what

not to mention if you know the bit depth of files you play you already bias yourself and cant even test yourself if they sound better/worse

youd have to have someone else play them for you in an order they determine and dont communicate with you

[wheat plume]

When I enable an eq profile on this player when its playing a 24bit file, it doesn't activate the EQ until I skip to the next song

But when I enable an eq profile on a 16bit track, it immediately changed

[fair gull]

(i cant tell btw and just guess when my girlfriend tests me with some new cds i ripped)

[wheat plume]

Not sure why that happens on this player

[fair gull]

either firmware bug or hardware limitation id guess

[wheat plume]

I'm using the 4.4mm jack
If that's making this happen?

[fair gull]

yeah its a hardware/firmware limit

[wheat plume]

Aha

[fair gull]

given its just in general specs i imagine its a hardware limit

[wheat plume]

Dual chips is a standard spec for a player?

[fair gull]

no?

unless you mean for this specific make and model

then yes

[wheat plume]

I mean in general for DAPs
I was looking at a couple to pick between and this one was the only one in my budget with two chips and a 4.4mm output jack

[fair gull]

then no. an audio player works with just 1 chip as well just means it has other limitations

[wheat plume]

Afaik
Having two means it can process the left and right channels separately?

[fair gull]

thats one way 2 chips could be used yes

[wheat plume]

Hmmm
What other ways?

[fair gull]

could also play different songs if you have multiple output jacks

[wheat plume]

It's interesting to see the player slowly load the album art on the display
It draws it line by line from the top of the image to the bottom

[wheat plume]

O ..

Yeh
Idk how this player would handle having IEMs plugged into both jacks at once

[fair gull]

i think you also use dual dacs for like high res PCM stuff

[wheat plume]

I doubt I have any music that high quality on this

[fair gull]

if they are just connected to the same output then they both play the same

[fair gull]

i mean yes theyd be 32bit and like often 384k files

[umbral heron]

Very much lies because... current DAC chips can't handle 24-bit, let alone 32-bit, most you can get out of them is like 19 bits of resolution or so
For very precise circuits you get up to like 21 bits of precision
The difference voltage is so small at this point that it's really hard to control

Stick to 16b48 and you are fine

[wheat plume]

I see...

[fair gull]

and dacs that can do more cost a fortune

like 4 digits

they can also use like 4/8 dac chips i think to get good outputs

[wheat plume]

I'm happy with my echo mini 🩷

Except if I want to change system settings on it I need to go back from the now playing screen and all the way back through the file structure I navigated until I reach the main screen

It's a little bit tedious at times to use

[umbral heron]

For the price that it's going for Echo Mini is amazing

[wheat plume]

Yeh
It also helps that it's hella adorable 🩷
Got the pink color but I probably should have gotten the teal as it would match my IEMs better

[umbral heron]

Get this thingy

[wheat plume]

This song is cursed xd

[smoky parrot]

I really want an echo mini ;_;

[wheat plume]

Nah
Makes it bulky and I hate that texture

[wheat plume]

They are very nice value
Though you have to add in the cost of an SD card too since this thing only has 7.5gb of internal storage

[smoky parrot]

I have a fake 1tb (32gb) sd card lel

That I can use

[wheat plume]

....did you fall for that or did you buy it knowing it was fake?? Xd

[smoky parrot]

I knew it was false, but I wanted a free adapter

[wheat plume]

The player only supports up to 256gb SD cards
Idk why that limitation exists

[wheat plume]

LOL OK FAIR

[smoky parrot]

So I filed it was fake after receiving and running tests

And got fully reimbursed and got to destroy what I had

[wheat plume]

O nice

[smoky parrot]

Dumb ass scammer

[wheat plume]

The Disc is also super cool looking

[umbral heron]

Not really bulky
And it has fake leather texture

[smoky parrot]

I want one

grabby hands

But I just bought a triton fethead

Gotto recover for a bit

[wheat plume]

You have the pink one too?? Hek yeh

[umbral heron]

Is really nice
But is a pain if you have a lot of songs on it

[wheat plume]

I have 432 songs

[smoky parrot]

I have the snowsky Dca/AmP

Melody, happy with it

[umbral heron]

I have almost full 256G card in it

[wheat plume]

Ooo is that real wood?

[umbral heron]

[wheat plume]

Ok that's super classy

[smoky parrot]

Yup

I have that exact one too

The whitish one

[wheat plume]

I do wish the echo mini was metal
Would make it less fragile

[umbral heron]

For this price everything went into guts

[wheat plume]

True yes!

[smoky parrot]

I'll get an echo mini after my current returns resolve

[umbral heron]

pretty cable

[wheat plume]

Dafuq is that big glittery cable?!

[smoky parrot]

It's a kbdfans cable

[wheat plume]

That's a keyboard cable...damn that's a big boi

[smoky parrot]

I got it from a guy secondhand who felt scammed by the glitters

Said the cable was too gay and girly lmao

[umbral heron]

I have a KA17
Built like a tank and sounds amazing

[smoky parrot]

So I swooped in

[wheat plume]

....bruh xxdd

[umbral heron]

Too gay? smh skill issue

[smoky parrot]

I paid 15 bucks for the premium cable

[wheat plume]

Hell yes xd

[smoky parrot]

It has the textured metal too

[wheat plume]

Fragile masculinity is a win in this case for your wallet

[smoky parrot]

It's really high quality actually

Ignore my sticky cable dots

[wheat plume]

I really like that

[smoky parrot]

I can't stand loose cables

So I tie them down with those plastic grabber dots

[wheat plume]

Same

I can't though
I have a dining table for my desk....

It sucks cause it's round

[wheat plume]

Hah

[smoky parrot]

Even my IEMs are attached so they can't fall from my desk into the floor

[wheat plume]

O yes yes

How are those clip things attached to the desk? Sticky tape or something?

[smoky parrot]

My setup is busy but still very specific

You can tell I'm ocd and autistic

[wheat plume]

Damn nah
I really like that

[smoky parrot]

Sticky two sides mouse, yeah

My Scarlett is also stickied down a little

[umbral heron]

dinosaurs

[smoky parrot]

So it can't move

And it always is in line with my keyboard

[wheat plume]

Why and how do you have a giant Wooting sticker? Xd

[umbral heron]

I need to 3d print a stand for my monitor/tablet

[smoky parrot]

Came with my 60hev2 module

[wheat plume]

Oh xd

[smoky parrot]

I put it on my monitor arm

I got a sticker with white/black W

And a bunch of switchies

[wheat plume]

I need to use my wrist rest
The table is really low compared to the chair I use and my wrists hurt ;_;

[wheat plume]

But I keep forgetting to bring it

[umbral heron]

pimk

[wheat plume]

O
I have a giant Celeste deskmat

[smoky parrot]

Ooft

[wheat plume]

Interesting wallpaper...I like

[smoky parrot]

Fancy drawing tablet

I want a screen tablet

But I currently have a really expensive non-screen one

[umbral heron]

Sakimi
I had this wallpaper for ages before I had my IPS

[smoky parrot]

And I can't get myself to get rid of it due to work

[wheat plume]

I'm having a stroke trying to say that brand name

[smoky parrot]

I bought this for 15 euro

:D and a second hand uwu too

[leaden kiln]

lower back pain

[smoky parrot]

And will print that awesome person's uwu case

[wheat plume]

UwU is nice
I use it for music playback control
And for playing Muse Dash

[smoky parrot]

To put next to my keeb

[umbral heron]

It's even funnier here, because in Polish three first letters of Huion sound exactly like a derogatory for a dick

[wheat plume]

.... OH XDDD

[smoky parrot]

Look how cool this 3dprinted attachment is

The UwU slots into it

[umbral heron]

Is cool

[smoky parrot]

So I can pinky macro

[wheat plume]

The angle is good

[smoky parrot]

I got rid of my streamdeck

Dumbass software

[leaden kiln]

I got rid of mine because I never used it

[smoky parrot]

I used the streamdeck macro system to swap all my audio inputs on a single button

[umbral heron]

I mean this one was quite cheap
It's Kamvas 13 Gen 3

[smoky parrot]

I have an a4 intuos

[umbral heron]

Wocom

I liek Huion because they have really nice Linux drivers, with the same app as on Windows and all

[smoky parrot]

I have this one, but the previous gen

[wheat plume]

Ooooooo

[smoky parrot]

Paid the same two years ago

[leaden kiln]

get a large tablet

[smoky parrot]

Oh shit

[umbral heron]

[smoky parrot]

That's an older one, yeah?

[wheat plume]

Oh hell yeah

[smoky parrot]

I used to have one like that

[leaden kiln]

yeah I don’t have it anymore sadly

intuos4 xl i think

[smoky parrot]

Yeah

[wheat plume]

Other than my controller
All my things can be configured in Linux now 🩷

Can't configure the controller :'( only Windows and Android can do that

[smoky parrot]

I used my 3ds as a controller before

Which I believe ran through linux too

Cuz nerds

[leaden kiln]

I have a small pink wacom now
and a few old ones

[wheat plume]

I tried using my steam deck as a controller but idk how

Steam Link worked but was clunky

[smoky parrot]

Calsg del please

I forgor adres

Thankie

[leaden kiln]

you can delete your own messages too

[smoky parrot]

I can't on phone somehow

[umbral heron]

I'll visit you now

[smoky parrot]

That's okay

[leaden kiln]

6m is too long
mine is 6 and it’s just rolled up

[smoky parrot]

Bring candy

Yeah, but look at the price Mega

3m is 50 euros from Roøde

6 is 75

This one was heavily discounted cuz green, last one in stock

[leaden kiln]

I would pay more to have a suitable size 💀

[smoky parrot]

And I also have this

[wheat plume]

No one wants the green
.... Sad

[smoky parrot]

So it all fits

I just tie down half the cable anyway, idm, there's no quality loss between 3 and 6 anyway

[umbral heron]

Steam Link sucks
I have literally 1GbE cable straight from PC to my Android TV box, iperf reporting full speed and almost no ping
Moonlight/Sunshine works flawlessly with no delay, but for Steam Link it's apparently "poor connection"

[smoky parrot]

Steam Link :(

I have a steam link still too

I think I paid 5 euros when they had the big blowout sale

When it was discontinued

[wheat plume]

What's the best way to use my deck as a controller on my desktop? Xd

[smoky parrot]

I don't actually know sorry

[wheat plume]

Wait for steam controller :'(

Gonna take months...

[smoky parrot]

I have a steam controller too

I custom firmwared it

And it still works great

[wheat plume]

I badly need the new one

[smoky parrot]

I have the old one

[wheat plume]

It's basically Deck controller without the screen

[smoky parrot]

But the haptic feedback is great

[wheat plume]

I wish I got the old one back in the day ...
Had no moneys :'(

[umbral heron]

I have the old one too
I don't like it for most games, but for arcade racing games is amazing

[wheat plume]

Oo

[steady sail]

Love the old CTH-480

[wheat plume]

We are all weebs here.... Xd

[steady sail]

tho i do use OTD

[smoky parrot]

There's CFW for Bluetooth now

I lost my dongle aeons ago so couldn't use it anymore

But now I made it BT

[umbral heron]

Official firmware supports BT too

[smoky parrot]

Yeah, but you couldn't udpate the official firmware anymore

as it pointed at a now defunct site

so you needed to manually update with a CFW to update afaik

Something like that afaik

[umbral heron]

Steam Controller v1? You can still update it via Steam

[smoky parrot]

I swear I had a reason to do it :p

Like a community update

[umbral heron]

Stadia Controller update website got taken down by now and is now maintained by community

Stadia stuff is like my second most favourite controller after DualSense

[wheat plume]

Oo???

It looks comfy

[umbral heron]

So - I got the AirPods instead of GPU yesterday in package
I have requested return and refund
I still didn't send the package back, but I have a refund already

[nimble arch]

lol, lmao even

[wheat plume]

Air pods instead of GPU???

[frozen ingot]

often they'll just let you keep the wrong item

the administration costs outweigh the items value in a lot of cases

[fair gull]

or they will charge you again if its not returned by date X

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as2KoDtsS_0

[reef patrol]

I swear that tablet is like Loss. I just recognize it immediately.

[vagrant pagoda]

same

[reef patrol]

But yeah. China is notorious for this.

[vagrant pagoda]

100% with a new customer doing such a large order for the first one

and then not doing a escrow payment

[reef patrol]

We've had similar issues - Which we thankfully avoided falling for by using trusted partners there who did manufacturing of their own, essentially acting as investigators and QC testers, before any money was sent for various components and parts.

[vagrant pagoda]

done lots of stuff though china and it gets a bad rap because people dont look hard for real companys, and fall into the seo work of scammers

the actual real factorys in china will bend over backwards to make things right

[reef patrol]

It's such a big country. And rumors and reputation doesn't care about that.
You hear "china factories does this" and you're suddenly assuming 3 billion people are all collectively ripping people off 😄

[vagrant pagoda]

during the tarffif thing we had missing parts to a 20k machine

and were worried about the part getting hit with tarrifs

the factory was like if you have passport we will fly you round trip, and have someone meet you at airport to had off part XD

and i should have done it

[reef patrol]

Makes sense. If they're a reputable company, they have a very vested interest in keeping that, and making sales as friction less as possible.

[vagrant pagoda]

but the import broker also had someone traveling, so they brought it over

have lots of machinist friends that have bought china cnc stuff, and they have 10 times the service of us machines

they actually give you the manuals and service info

they dont force you to buy any parts from them

they are just like yeah thats such and such linear rail, or this bearing/seal

though to be fair my doosan is like that too. it came with a parts diagram that just has part numbers that arent doosan part numbers

haas would NEVER

[reef patrol]

Not having as much proprietary effect definitely helps with the service level. They know you could realistically go somewhere else, so they try to keep you happy and paying.

[slate dagger]

https://makerworld.com/en/models/2488587-uwuting-buddy-case#profileId-2734340

[tribal dirge]

or doing an LC

[vagrant pagoda]

lc just means the bank will cover if you fail to pay

LC is cleared once they provide proof of shipment, dose nothing for the issues that Roman had

[tribal dirge]

fair, but that sort of depends on the exact sales contract that was negotiated.

[vagrant pagoda]

LC is always on proof of shipment

[tribal dirge]

I see

[vagrant pagoda]

good luck getting a third party inspector to find the issues he had

maybe the copper coated steel in the first

but the other two where the top was good and bottom was bad, isnt getting cought on a LC inspection

escrow allows you to withhold most of the payment until it has arrived

[tribal dirge]

a neutral 3rd party at that. that is willing to hold onto 40k eur

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean most international banks will do LC, and there are tons of freight escrow companys

LC protects the seller more than the buyer

[tribal dirge]

and escrow is just through neutral 3rd party?

[vagrant pagoda]

yes

[tribal dirge]

makes sense

[vagrant pagoda]

you give the money to escrow

they provide the seller with proof

then once its delivered you release the money if its right

if not you provide the escrow proof that it isnt what is in the contract

then it goes to abatration though the escrow

[tribal dirge]

I see

[vagrant pagoda]

the copper plated steel would have gotten roman 100% back from escrow

the other 2 would have to calculate how many of the billets were real, and did the math

[tribal dirge]

if the seller would have even agreed to do payment through one

[vagrant pagoda]

thats how you know its sketchy

[tribal dirge]

yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

a good seller will just charge more for escrow, because its more of a hassel

[tribal dirge]

yeah, I think thats reasonable

[vagrant pagoda]

its actually a good sign if the seller gives you a wire discount, but dosent push for it

[tribal dirge]

oh I see

[vagrant pagoda]

but they also have zero issues with escrow/lc just charge more

[tribal dirge]

ye

[vagrant pagoda]

cash is always king, but a real company\ dosent care how they are paid, as long as they are paid.

its weebery, that's a given

[pale sigil]

I just think it's stupid, it's completely off character and makes no sense.

[wheat plume]

yes thats the point xd

[pale sigil]

Especially if you really appreciate her character

[frozen ingot]

things rarely makes sense in any anime tbh

[wheat plume]

here we go, much better wallpaper

[pale sigil]

You see, that's daft and silly and that's fine

[old marlin]

💀 I only notice the scope rn

[wheat plume]

transferring music to this player really batters the SD card 😢

[pale sigil]

Transferring anything to an SD batters it XD

[wheat plume]

ye ;-;

gonna take forever to transfer 14gb

why does it read it as a HDD???

Guess its related to how the echo firmware mounts the SD card when connected over usb

[leaden kiln]

I thought I was just gonna use the evf but the flippy screen is so good, I’ve never had one before
ironically I do wish this camera was a little bit bigger though 💀 (specifically got it because it’s small)

[umbral heron]

Most readers will report SD as /dev/sda, so... HDD

[wheat plume]

dacts

[vagrant pagoda]

fa is the dumbest thing on an ar

[old marlin]

oh yea absolutely

m7 ditched it finally

[vagrant pagoda]

thats just a lvpo

[pale sigil]

Can you not get a faster SD card

[old marlin]

weird model ig

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean its a little stubby, but it looks right other than that

[leaden kiln]

in this flash economy

[tribal dirge]

You're gonna be paying a pretty penny for a UHS-2 V90 card

[leaden kiln]

If I’m getting a new camera I would wanna get another sd card but I just looked at prices today and they’re so expensive

[tribal dirge]

Unfortunately

But I've gotten used to expensive media

[leaden kiln]

I think what I’m looking at only supports uhs 1 which is a bit cheaper

[tribal dirge]

Makes sense

[leaden kiln]

could get uhs2 for transferring photos faster, but a bit unnecessary for the price

[umbral heron]

UHS1 U3
Enough for 4k60
Samsung Pro Plus are really good and quite cheap still

[leaden kiln]

I’ll have a look if I decide to get a second camera

[umbral heron]

Just for some reason Sony alpha don't like microSD in adapters, they want full SD

[leaden kiln]

I’m using a uhs1 msd in my sony and it’s been fine, bursts still take forever to clear

not an alpha though

[wheat plume]

OH HELL NO
Why do DAPs have notches now?????

[leaden kiln]

is this good

[umbral heron]

[wheat plume]

good album :D

All my favourite IEMs are under $1000
But they are also more than $50
wow......thanks for such a narrow range /s

[old marlin]

I mean they also just buy a display

[tribal dirge]

I like, never used micro SD in any of my cameras except DJI drones and gopros

otherwise I usually use the sony G tough cards

[leaden kiln]

I have a card that doesn’t work, don’t know where I got it from, but I ripped it open and it’s just the contacts in there and no flash 💀

[wheat plume]

When I have my Echo Mini connected to my laptop in DAC mode to listen to the music on my laptop through it
Does it make a difference in anyway if I change volume on my laptop or on the player itself?

This implies you can theoretically send two different inputs per channel...

[crimson wigeon]

Because you can, use any advanced tool like qpwgraph and connect things however crazily you want

[wheat plume]

Seems Fedora upscales all audio to 48KHz by default, or is it pipewire that does that

[crimson wigeon]

Yes PW defaults to running the graph at that rate

[wheat plume]

I set my laptop volume to 100% and adjusted it to a comfy listenign level using my players controls instead, sound seems clearer now

maybe placebo

[wheat plume]

I somehow managed to break my keyboard shortcut to trigger MPV to play my local music collection

mpv --shuffle --no-video ~/Music is somehow broken now

[sudden imp]

https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1ro77a3/design_request_a_ventilated_cat_riser_for_my_pc/

supply and demand I guess?

[pale sigil]

Probably because they use older tech

[pale sigil]

They deleted it lol

[pale sigil]

The 3d print sites have tons of AI shit

So idk why there's so much backlash for ai stuff lol

[sullen bear]

he has a 3d printer right here

why does he need others

[pale sigil]

Why bother buying a 3D printer if you are not willing to design something as simple as this lol

Stupid take honestly

[marsh glade]

It would be far better to fabricate something than to print it

[heady hazel]

i mean im concerned about fan exhaust temps, in combination with the pressure of a cat, i doubt filament could sustain that

[marsh glade]

If filament was used, the heat transfer would be abysmal and the cat wouldn't sit on it

[heady hazel]

unless you get some fancy filament sure but like the general stuff you have at home tends to deform at heat

[empty wren]

annealing can be applied to PET thankfully

[heady hazel]

yeah that would work but at that point you can just bend a small alu plate

[empty wren]

of course

[sudden imp]

Probably could make it out of wood

[empty wren]

actually great thing with aluminum is it has high thermal conductivity to plastic

[sudden imp]

Then add a heating pad for extra heat

[heady hazel]

yeah metal definetly is preferable

[pale sigil]

Petg can

[heady hazel]

well petg is more resistant but iirc it deforms at 70c ish

[pale sigil]

Ye and hot air coming out isn't 70c
