yeah its 100mb for everyone

and idk how much for Nitro users xd

[sinful harbor]

that's what I've been saying

Nitro gets 500MB

[wheat plume]

nearly there, compressing to 100mb

[sinful harbor]

Nitro Classic is like 50 I think which obviously would be super seeded by the servers 100

[wheat plume]

I found new shaders that are SO SO PRETTY 😍

[devout raptor]

this Kimmy guy on youtube has outdone optimum in the shill department by a 100 miles

[sinful harbor]

shill department?

LMAO

[wheat plume]

shilling wooting?

[vivid wigeon]

just wait till you hear about this guy called randomfrankp

[devout raptor]

hes an og

this guy has a different vibe

[wheat plume]

I tried to compress it to 100mb but keep 60FPS but now its 1080p instead of 1440p
But wayyyy smoother

not sure if discord can playback 60FPS

[steady sail]

it can

The shaders are way better in the night time than they are in daytime ....

The water sucks imo during the day :'(
Shame cause they are awesome other than that

[steady sail]

tbh most Shaders are pretty meh during the day

and i never found one that was quiet good

[wheat plume]

I find Complimentary Unbound amazing during the day 😍

https://modrinth.com/shader/complementary-unbound

Can be a bit too dark at night though ... Maybe can edit the settings to make it brighter

They are my daily driver shaders
I'm just testing these ones in my video ATM cause they are a cool cartoon style with colored lighting baked in too

[lime shale]

Anyone here have the Wooting split spacebar?

I really want a split spacebar, but can't justify the upgrade from 60HE. But I enjoy 75% more than 60%.
So I'm also curious if anyone have any intel if there ever would be an 80HE split spacebar.
And if split spacebar is as good as I though it would be.

wait wait...the HDMI Forum let their patches in this time??!!!

[umbral heron]

No

[wheat plume]

F

[ashen spindle]

yes this has been known for months since they first started adding the patches for this

probably with the goal to have it ready before steam machine launches

granted, not like you really will need 2.1 for much of what the thing can do lol

Odd how iOS includes the notch in screenshots but macOS doesn't

[tribal dirge]

IOS usually doesn't

Iirc

[wheat plume]

Anytime I've seen a screenshot or recording from an iPhone user
The notch is part of it xd

Especially the dynamic island .... That is just a black pill at the top of the screen at all times xd

[tribal dirge]

Weird

It's just not there for me

[wheat plume]

Hmm ..maybe that changed that in new iOS updates?

[tribal dirge]

Weird, I never had screenshots that showed the notch or Dynamic Island for me

[empty wren]

@heady hazel not much but important 19mm CPAP tubing

[heady hazel]

damn its really not much

[empty wren]

There will be more from the top to to the tool head though

In about a year it will be gone

CPAP based cooling sounds great in respect but is horrible in another

[heady hazel]

i think i need to learn metal craft, genuinely i am not sure how the damn licenseplate holder rusted through , i guess 3d printing is not ideal for that

[empty wren]

Oooof

[empty wren]

You can look into slm or dlms via china

[heady hazel]

genuinely i think the contruction is just bad

[empty wren]

Any reason it could not be aluminum

Bolts would be steel sure

[heady hazel]

i wonder if i can get a guy to weld it back together rn

[empty wren]

Probably

[heady hazel]

at least i was correct with my electrical issues , turns out a relay will not like 18 volts when its rated for 12

[sullen bear]

Never happened for me

[misty bronze]

it's only a part of it when the dynamic island is being used to display something

before dynamic island they were never in the screenshot

screen recordings will always have it because there is always a red indicator when it's recording the screen

am i allowed to ping mods for these in this server

ok i didn't have to

[devout raptor]

its visible if you have media playing or are in a phone call

aand someone already said that nvm then

[wheat plume]

Ooohhhhhh
Interesting .... Thanks for showing that different

[leaden kiln]

also shows if there’s a privacy indicator

[wheat plume]

I guess that makes sense
The island is two holes in the display linked together with that area of the display turning off

The app doesn't see my keyboard and nothing helps.

[magic minnow]

I wanted to switch to android again but I think I’ll just wait for the iPhone 18

[vapid ruin]

Why?

[magic minnow]

Why Android?

Or why waiting for 18

[vapid ruin]

This one

[magic minnow]

I want to downsize from the max to a regular pro

I’m on a 16 Pro Max right now

[vapid ruin]

I see

[tribal dirge]

I think it's otherwise not rendered to conserve resources

[tribal dirge]

If the Folding iPhone Ultra becomes a thing I might buy it

[magic minnow]

I just don’t like the idea of it not having Face ID

[tribal dirge]

Yeah fair

[magic minnow]

Idc about MagSafe

Since I always get a case with a magnet anyways

[sullen bear]

Im on a 13 pro waiting for the new refresh

[tribal dirge]

18 pro or iPhone Ultra?

[true atlas]

whats the best way to clean a wooting keyboard ? if it has Grece on it from fingers and hands? ive been wipe it down and cleaning it with something called keyboard gell someone told me to try but i wanted to make sure if there not something i need to use for a wooting or if i shuild just use anything

[livid ruin]

Hi there does anyone know the customs fees to europe from g wolves i cant seem to find any info about that

[marsh glade]

For grease you should take off all your keycap and wash them in warm soapy water. Then while you're at it, take the PCBA out and get the hairs and dust out of the rest

[near tusk]

Buying max been always dumb

Pro is the best

[vagrant pagoda]

takes for ever to disassemble a two though

[true atlas]

is there no easyier way for the pcb? last time i did this i broke one of the metal things that you had to push back down in the keyboard i know nothing about them but i have the tenz wooting 80he

[sullen bear]

Not the fold at least

[marsh glade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnyG_a1kosg
This shows you how to do it

[wheat plume]

LOL

[tired sphinx]

is anyone else having this issue with valorant? it worked fine this morning when i played for hours and my pc has been on since then. now when i want to start valorant again, i get this error message
i already tried disabling and enabling secure boot. it does say that it is enabled in my windows settings
i just reset my secure boot to factory settings and it worked again. but i dual boot using linux. so i had to sign my bootloader and now the error is back...
does anyone have any other ideas? i feel like they might have just blocked dual booting

[fair gull]

why sign your own loader when there is officially provided shim loaders

[tribal dirge]

Can't you just use an official boot shim?

???

[fair gull]

id assume given you signed your own one you have to add it to the uefi trust which changes the trusted chain enough for valorant to care

so yeah just use the ms signed shim they provide done

[tired sphinx]

i have never had issues with this before until today
im not using a shim because i want a unified root of trust
by enrolling my own keys plus microsoft's keys via sbctl, i satisfy vanguard's requirement for a 'verified' hardware state while keeping my linux kernel signed and secure
the shim method often keeps the BIOS in a state vanguard flags as 'unverified' on gigabyte boards

[fair gull]

how

the shim is signed by ms and you use ms keys

lol

[tribal dirge]

Yeah.....

[tired sphinx]

as far as i know vanguard doesnt just check if the bootloader is signed, it checks the secure boot variable status

[fair gull]

ok but youd use default settings with ms signed shims

like i cant see why the ms signed shims would be worse off than enrolling your own certs/keys instead of using the factory default MS keys

[tired sphinx]

i'm gonna try something and report back if it worked

[sudden imp]

I guess microslop has figured out that everyone already uses Steam. What they don't want is people switching to another OS if gaming continues to suck on Windows - using Steam's offering.

[wheat plume]

Using Windows for gaming is unavoidable if all you play are the popular online games

Really the only gamers who can play fully on Linux are indie gamers and people who play the few online fps games that do allow proton access

And any AAA that's purely single player
Though those are incredibly rare these days

[tired sphinx]

The only game that I play, that requires windows is valorant
I believe apeks legends also has this requirement for their anticheat
Otherwise I’d have long been on Linux only

[wheat plume]

Apex used to support Linux

Same for GTA V Online

[tired sphinx]

I may have to scrap my dual boot because valorant refuses to work right now
They actually suspended my account temporarily for it

[wheat plume]

Funny enough
.....GTA V Online was consistently within the top 5 games played on the Steam Deck until Rockstar banned Linux

[steady sail]

but linux people are cheating

[wheat plume]

Maybe cause you turned off secure Boot to enable dual booting??

Valorant requires secure Boot

[tired sphinx]

no, secure boot is enabled

I have it set up properly

No issue until today

[wheat plume]

Oh not sure then

[tired sphinx]

I tried what people suggested earlier

No luck so far

[ashen spindle]

90% of cheaters were using linux for apex, you actually could see forums say step1. use linux for a long time

[wheat plume]

I never got that game working
Couldn't get past the vanguard boot up screen on my windows install

Despite having updated drivers and secure Boot and tpm 2 enabled

[tired sphinx]

It’s not that difficult to set up

[wheat plume]

Maybe I'll try again on my new desktop
I think vanguard can detect dual boot and refuse to work

[tired sphinx]

but they seem to have broken it with a recent update
They’re asking for my secure boot state to be in factory setting

[wheat plume]

It knows everything about your computer
Moreso than Windows itself does cause it runs at a deeper level on your system than Windows

[ashen spindle]

vanguard has no issue with you dual booting as long as you dont destroy any chain of signed drivers or whatever else you mess up in uefi

[ashen spindle]

also this doesnt even make sense

[crimson wigeon]

I have no interest in playing that game but does it block you even if all you do is add your own keys?

[wheat plume]

I never touched that shit in UEFI
The only changes I made in UEFI was to assign Fedora as my default boot option

[crimson wigeon]

Not through like MOK or shim or whatever I mean enrolling the keys directly in the UEFI setup

[wheat plume]

It does
Vanguard loads itself before your OS does
It's kernel level

It's there before you even get to the windows login screen

[ashen spindle]

you do understand that kernel level means it sits in the WINDOWS kernel yes?

[wheat plume]

Yeh
It loads before the login page

[ashen spindle]

and that the WINDOWS kernel is part of WINDOWs

[tired sphinx]

It used to not do that but I’m experiencing exactly that right now

[steady sail]

just uninstall valorant

and be happy

[wheat plume]

I'm too stupid when it comes to secure Boot keys and whatnot

Couldn't even get secure Boot to work on CachyOS ._.

[tired sphinx]

It’s my main game and I want to keep playing it

[ashen spindle]

vanguard sits at the ring0 level of the WINDOWS kernel, saying it knows more than windows doesnt make sense if its inside of it

[tired sphinx]

I had it running with cachyos until an hour ago when vanguard decided to put an end to this

[balmy vector]

bet vanguard doesnt know about laptop news though

[ashen spindle]

vanguard drivers gets signed by microsoft, if they would sign something that gets more information inside their own system than said system.. idk what the point would be

[nimble arch]

Does it still need to run from system boot? I recall reading they’d make it on-demand at some point.

[ashen spindle]

its still kernel level yes

whenever ms changes and kicks everything out from kernel it will also change how and when you need to activate vanguard

[nimble arch]

Pretty sure they’re not breaking anti-cheats, just security software is being moved out of kernel-level. Unless that’s also changed?

[ashen spindle]

everything is moving out including anti cheats thats been int he works and talked about for a long time

they have been working with riot before crowdstrike happened on that already

[tired sphinx]

okay, so i spent a long time troubleshooting my issue right now
and i think this is the conclusion...
vanguard is actively scanning the cryptographic hash of the entire signature database (db). it realized the db was not 100% factory pristine and threw the STATUS_SB_POLICY error

at the same time, the gigabyte nvram is broken. it refuses to save the mokutil policy across reboots, meaning i can never bypass the strict sbat metadata check that the shim demands. unlike the boot environments in ubuntu or alma linux (which contain corporate-signed sbat metadata that microsoft’s factory keys natively trust out of the box) arch-based bootloaders like cachyos get violently rejected by the shim without that override

because Vanguard essentially acts like firmware-level malware that demands absolute control over my bios, a unified secure boot setup that natively runs both my cachyos kernel and vanguard on this board is mechanically impossible right now

I have to disable secure boot and change my boot order every single time I want to boot into linux

[ashen spindle]

gigabyte skill issue, classic

[vagrant pagoda]

atleast it isnt asrock

[tribal dirge]

assrock

[vagrant pagoda]

has asrock

[tribal dirge]

lmao

[tired sphinx]

well, and arch-based issue

[vagrant pagoda]

but x570

[vagrant pagoda]

have you tried longer striped socks?

[tired sphinx]

yes, i used to wear those

[vagrant pagoda]

i always though the best way to make arch better was longer socks and shorter skirts

[sullen bear]

tbf its supposedly an amd issue rather than mobo manufacturer issue

[tired sphinx]

i see

one of my friends is on amd and doesnt have that issue though

[sullen bear]

I meant the assrock one

[tired sphinx]

but theyre also using ubuntu and not an arch based distro

ah oki

[sullen bear]

no clue about linux things

[wheat plume]

No clue about Ubuntu things
I've stopped using anything Ubuntu based since 16.04 released

I know canonical is pushing AI in Ubuntu now though ._.

AI is not going to take software engineering jobs at Canonical, but other software engineers who are highly competent with AI tools certainly could

Bruh ...literally said that if you don't use AI, you'll be less favorable in the company

[ashen spindle]

[ashen spindle]

continue to measure them on how well they deliver.

[wheat plume]

...yep
Fully agree ...

[ashen spindle]

no thats just factually wrong

[wheat plume]

What part ..

Definitely the last two paragraphs are accurate

[ashen spindle]

the part about system integrators going out of business, the case of results are illevant

[wheat plume]

SIs can't get ram either though ....

Well, they can but it's hella pricey for them too

[ashen spindle]

they can its just expensive

and if people are willing to buy it they will be able to sell it

if people arent seeing value in it they wont buy it and the price isnt staying up

[fair gull]

are you teaching lana about supply and demand?

[wheat plume]

Ram isn't going to drop in price anytime soon :/
With all the companies pushing more and more data centers to be built

[fair gull]

i thought people know how this works

[wheat plume]

Yeh I do

[ashen spindle]

clearly not

[fair gull]

the datacenters can buy as much ram as they want but if consumer sticks start to fill warehouses price will drop

[ashen spindle]

ram prices only stay up if people continue paying it, if theres no demand it will drop

if demand stays we will see more dram facilities being built to produce more

it just takes more than some weeks so prices dont instantly adjust down but its not staying forever

tarrifs and such are worse especially if they are uncertain

and even if we say every ai company would collapse, the existing models wont vanish and hardware will improve

so even in that case ai wont vanish and just plateau for a while

[wheat plume]

I just want components to be reasonably priced again

[pale sigil]

Pretty much, I've built two systems this year and they would pay £300+

Crazy

Same with nvme

[lyric hatch]

Any day now ram prices will come down and I will upgrade my PC

[tired sphinx]

ram prices have already come down a bit

and i believe it will only continue from this point

probably not as low as it once used to be but lower than now for sure

[wheat plume]

would a black keyboard and touchpad panel look odd on a silver laptop?

like the inside of the laptop was black with a black keyboard and touchpad but the rest of the laptop chassis is silver? xd

[tribal dirge]

Very

Black keyboard would look fire tho

Black touchpad is ehhhhhhh

Like the way MacBook Air and MacBook Pro do their colors is great

[wheat plume]

the keyboard is black with the mod keys being grey and the Super key being orange

[wheat plume]

yeh... I do like the black keyboard well on the macbook pros a lot

[tribal dirge]

Oh ewwwwwwww

[wheat plume]

kinda reminds me of Keychron ngl

[tribal dirge]

Yeah no, ts uglyyyyyyy

[wheat plume]

they also just have black or silver

[tribal dirge]

With plain black keys?

[wheat plume]

yeh]

wish the silver had the macbook pro style black well though

[tribal dirge]

Ok yeah these are wayyyyyy nicer

Minus the fat side arrows

I hated those on the old butterfly MacBooks

I don't understand why other companies copied that

Even after Apple changed it back

Also hate the half height function row too

Full height function row is wayyyy better

That's another thing I like about MacBooks

[wheat plume]

full height fn is very nice

[tribal dirge]

Yasssss

[lyric hatch]

Is this the bit we're referring to because this is all I see

[tired sphinx]

not what i'm seeing on ram kits here

[lyric hatch]

Well I guess I'll have to wait for my local retailers to catch up

Even then it's not going to be anytime soon we see last year's prices coming back

[tribal dirge]

Very unlikely yeah

Starting up new fabs is going to be slow (if they do that is)

[tired sphinx]

i dont think any manufacturer said they would make new fabs to counter this

and it would take years to construct them

[wheat plume]

Gnome 50 has a strange bug where the logout button may just simply not exist in the power menu ......

[ashen spindle]

micron finished a deal last month for new fab space and iirc hynix already was building one before this started

but yes they are also not rushing to expand if there is not a clear sign that it is a demand that will actually last those 2-3 years for a new fab to not just run empty lines

[wheat plume]

Wait it's not a bug .... Gnome intentionally removes the logout button if only one user account exists on the system

[tired sphinx]

i can get behind that but then can you even lock your computer?

[wheat plume]

Yes

Locking is just Super + L like on Windows

[tired sphinx]

ah oki then i dont see an issue with them removing the button

[wheat plume]

It's just stupid af
Sometimes you need to logout
Especially on gnome desktop since the only way to update extensions is to logout and log back in

Sometimes you just don't want to wait for a reboot instead

[tired sphinx]

but i thought you can just use win + l?

[wheat plume]

That's just locking the computer
Not logging out of the user account

[tired sphinx]

oooh i got it

yeah that sucks then

[wheat plume]

A logout closes the entire session so you'd have to restart all your apps and everything again

Logging out is needed if you need to change groups the user you are logged into
Or updating extensions
Or maybe an app needs the desktop to reload so you can logout to do that

[ashen spindle]

unhide the logout option then if you want to use it?

[tired sphinx]

theres probably a terminal command for it as well

at least i would assume so

[wheat plume]

Yeah
You can run a terminal command
But no regular user will want to search online or know or want to use a command to fix this problem

[ashen spindle]

when an extension needs restarting the shell, you will see a notice on the screen prompting you to logout

so either you see it then or you just restart or you can unhide the option to not see the logout button

[wheat plume]

The other way to solve it is to make a second blank user account
Or have another desktop installed

[wheat plume]

Yep
Sometimes the extensions app will have a banner at the top to logout to update an extension

But only on the third party extension manager....the official one doesn't

[wheat plume]

Microslop added a new system driver to Windows 11 that makes it impossible to switch your default browser
Among other things

It's called UCPD (User Choice Protection Driver)

[fair gull]

yes like 2years ago i think

welcome late to the party

also pretty sure if you disable the service for it you can just change the protected registry values again

[wheat plume]

For now you can disable it

[fair gull]

not even like the idea why it exists is bad

[wheat plume]

They've been blocking workarounds since 2 years

[fair gull]

what work aorund lol

its just a windows service

restart and done

its not running anymore

[fair gull]

also its factually wrong that you cant change the default browser

its so binaries cant automatically do it unless they are signed with a valid ms cert

same goes for all the other points

its just so a random malware cant jumble your default values

if any of this applied to just disallowing it in general we would have had waves and droves of people yelling about it for basically 2years at this point

[wheat plume]

Ohh???

[minor citrus]

Minimum the EU would tear Microsoft a new one

[fair gull]

i mean they already had this thing tearing them a new butthole when they force IE in the early days

That's why they probably wouldn't dare to remove that choice ever again

A charger is not included with this e-waste to help support initiatives to reduce e-waste

[wheat plume]

at least all the corners of the display are round, unlike macbooks
and the top bezel has face ID unlike the macbooks

[umbral heron]

Charger would be the only valuable thing in the box if they bundled charger with Surface

[wheat plume]

:')

even the keyboard is not included, extra 200 bucks

[ashen spindle]

if you complain about surfaces keep in mind without surface you would've never gotten the steam deck as it is

[wheat plume]

?

[ashen spindle]

the chip in the steamdeck was a semi custom made for surface with secondary use of hololens

[umbral heron]

Could be so much better

[ashen spindle]

so without surface any cpu option would've been worse for first gen steam deck xD

[nimble arch]

Surface Pro would be better if Microsoft made a good tablet-focused OS

iPad Pro works just fine with iPadOS

[wheat plume]

such pretty APU though

[umbral heron]

A lot of things would be so much better in the world if Microsoft made good things

[wheat plume]

Yeah... true

[nimble arch]

I had a Surface Pro 4 back in t' day

Good concept, very flawed execution

The Surface Pen stylus thing was cool at least

[ashen spindle]

hey as long as others can use the hardware that microsoft pays the dev costs for, I take that as a win xD

[nimble arch]

Very easy to change the battery as it used standard AAAA batteries at the time.

You could just buy a two pack of Duracell AAAA batteries for like £10

I was going to buy this for my Thor 3

Feels kinda meh

I expected something... more?

[cerulean arch]

Then the marketing was successful because you needed a video to lose that expectation

Corsair cable is the same, msi psu shut off is also dogshit

And most of it makes immediate sense when you look at the products, they are just trying to capitalize on electrically uneducated people buying these?cables that are often worse than just a good cable from your psu

I personally think if you care about your money you need Ampinel for 1.5k+ gpus

[plucky tapir]

They could've done much more, there was very little information so basically everyone needed a video or at least someone testing it and posting about it.

[minor citrus]

If tests and videos show something is just snake oil marketing, why would the manufacturer risk showing that conclusion by accident. So they keep the information rare and vague

[cerulean arch]

As soon as you see the cable itself (and read their description of the function) you knew there was nothing it did to change anything

As soon as i read what their apparrent specced Amperage is i knew it was gonna be trash because nothing about the cable changed. You cannot maintain 17A on it thats just not gonna happen

[plucky tapir]

I did not look that deep into it, I just kinda expected it to at least be better than the cable that already came with my PSU as this will be replaced with the new cable in the new batches sold and it's like a 700 euro PSU.

I haven't seen any tests with the GPU Tweak III warning stuff, I don't know if that's available with my current cable either.

[vagrant pagoda]

the question is wtf has seasonic not made a psu with per pin current

[misty bronze]

surface laptop studio and surface neo comes to mind for me 🙃

[vagrant pagoda]

they could be killing it

they work with Roman for ages

[tribal dirge]

I'm ngl the iPad does solve the problem quite well with the Apple Pencil

[tribal dirge]

Well we have Apple which is way better than Microsoft

Arguably Apple Silicon coming to Mac is what forced a lot of windows laptops to not be absolute garbage anymore

And now they are doing it again with budget laptops with MacBook Neo

[wheat plume]

^

Even me, as an Apple disliker, I am very tempted to get the Air

[vagrant pagoda]

emr is lighter though which is a big plus

think my emr is like 7-8 grams

apple pencil is like 2-3 times that

[umbral heron]

I buy tablet and pencil as "one device"
I don't wanna care about battery in both tablet and pencil

[vagrant pagoda]

emr is nice as they all just work

i really really wish boox would make a palma ultra with emr

[umbral heron]

One of the main reasons why I went with Note Air 5C

[vagrant pagoda]

the pro has the crappy battery pen and i hate it

[tired sphinx]

yet another windows sunday fuckup
MS Defender is reporting Trojan:Win32/Cerdigent.A!dha
but it seems to just be false positives due to certificates running out

[vagrant pagoda]

i had an ultra c now i also have a air 5c XD

i miss the bigger battery in the ultrea though

but it still gets good battery

and the biggest upgrade, no track pad\

i hated the trackpad on the pro

one day we will get a emr palam and new x model

kills me the tab x c has front light, but no emr and the note max has emr and no front light

im hoping there is a note 5 max with all the features of the 5c

androud 15, front light, emr, and the new soc in a 13 inch

[tribal dirge]

The thing is about Apple Pencil is that is has a nice place to go

Which is the side of the iPad

[vagrant pagoda]

mine dose to

right on the side of the 5c

[vagrant pagoda]

has a button and 4000 pressure sense, with no battery

[tribal dirge]

Interesting that it has a clip on it

Also what kind of display is that?

[vagrant pagoda]

eink

[tribal dirge]

Hmm, have mixed feelings about that

Would rather Tandem OLED like my iPad

[vagrant pagoda]

mine dosent have the clip

i dont use the stock pen

[tribal dirge]

The clip looks nice tho

Could clip it to like your pocket

Although the nice part about the Apple Pencil being active is the haptic motor and the pressure sensor to detect the squeezing

[vagrant pagoda]

my actual pens dont squeeze or vibrate

[tribal dirge]

Honestly I would much rather an active stylus with haptics than a passive stylus without haptics

[tribal dirge]

When working on a digital surface though it's very nice to have

Esp when you are switching tools

[vagrant pagoda]

the 5c has a paper texture glass

so you dont need haptic to emulate anything

[livid ruin]

Does anyone know what i need to get so its safe for me to 3d print in my room

[vagrant pagoda]

you can even get hard and soft nips

[tribal dirge]

Nono the haptics is only for when you incur a function of the stylus

Like switching tools or showing the function wheel

[vagrant pagoda]

you want a digital experience. i want a analog experience.

[tribal dirge]

Fair

[vagrant pagoda]

i want something that emulates pen/pencil on paper

[tribal dirge]

I just feel like I take notes more efficiently this way

[vagrant pagoda]

i dont even look, just write

[tribal dirge]

I can't write without looking at what I'm writing or else my extreme side of dysgraphia would make my writing illegible.

😭

[vagrant pagoda]

mine is illegible to everyone else

[tribal dirge]

Lmao real

[empty wren]

Throughout the entire span or momentarily?

[sinful quest]

I think windows fucked up again

[empty wren]

Hmm?

[sinful quest]

false alerts from defender apparently

[empty wren]

Ah I would not see that as a big deal

False positives are a common matter

[vagrant pagoda]

i just write just like on paper

you look at paper when you write down?

[sinful quest]

yea, was just scared for a second after windows told me I got a trojan

[umbral heron]

I do, otherwise my writing is all wavy

[vagrant pagoda]

so its notes not a presentation XD

[umbral heron]

A perfect notepad and reader
E-ink is amazing

[empty wren]

not all the time

[wheat plume]

I love this guy XXDD

[heady hazel]

@empty wren printing tpu means nearly no retraction, managed to clog my dual gear extruder

[vagrant pagoda]

do you have a direct drive?

you need a shit ton of retraction for tpu

if you have a bowden, good luck with spring materials

[heady hazel]

yeah direct drive i have read that you do not do any retraction for tpu

[vagrant pagoda]

you need MORE retract for tpu

you have to do the normal retract, then the spring of the tpu

so if the tpu compresses .5mm in the hotend you need to add .5mm extra retract

also adding a fixed input ptfe tube will help

disable zlift, add in a wipe

limit flowrate to like 5-10mm^3

you ahve to be smart with retract and tune it

some guides say disable retract because over retract will jam the extruder

its better to actually tune it

[heady hazel]

that happened yeah jammed it, im currently printing the coaster in pla instead of tpu just for fun, i have to say creality pla is garbage compared to geeetech

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

for any 3d print, you are limited by the input material

needs to be good quailty and dry to work

[heady hazel]

i might need to dry the tpu aswell

[vagrant pagoda]

100%

if you hear popcorn when printing

its wet

[heady hazel]

i mostly do not but eh cant hurt, im still baffled how bad creality pla is compared to geetech which i buy for 5€ a kg

[vagrant pagoda]

but yeah get a retract tower test

start at zero retract

and slowly go up until its perfect

like start 30-40mm/s max, 5mm^3/s max flow, disable zlift, wipe on retract, and 0 retract

then slowly increase retract

once that is good, save those settings

[heady hazel]

yeah ill try that for now im just printing pla and it works well , just had to make sure nothing else is messing up

[vagrant pagoda]

then increase max flow

see if you can still get good retracts

the little retract tower test is fast

you can cancel the test when it starts stringing

[heady hazel]

im just checking its not a gcode error

[wheat plume]

macOS does the same shit as Windows when you plug in a new audio output ..my ears hurt now

it sets the volume to 100% for new audio outputs ffs

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah i hate that

i swap between analog/hdmi output and sometimes windows just resets the volume

[wheat plume]

OMFH UNFORTUNATE TRUNCATION

[wheat plume]

yeh :/ luckily, it seems that Linux will not change the volume when switching to new outputs
But it will remember it when you plug in the same device again

I use 100% volume when using my Echo Mini as a USB DAC so that my DAC can control volume instead and my desktop switches to 100% and back down to normal when unplugged

[vagrant pagoda]

dont kink shame

[wheat plume]

hehehee

[vagrant pagoda]

i use 75 because lots of content is clipping anyway

[wheat plume]

o?

Im on 5% rn on my IEMs plugged into this laptop

[vagrant pagoda]

i have speakers

[wheat plume]

Liquid Ass contrast

[vagrant pagoda]

a nice setup, but there is no point in 100%

as most games/videos dont do any normalization

[wheat plume]

yeh 😅

[vagrant pagoda]

and shit just hits clip

like we have SO much dynamic range

but most people have ass audio setups so the default clips

[rugged plinth]

Hey guys

[vagrant pagoda]

love when people are like you need good headphones to hear foot steps

you can do the same with good speakers

[wheat plume]

yeh, and most shit is mixed horribly anyway so no headphones will fix that

[rugged plinth]

I wanna find wooting 80he 3d models can you help me. I can’t find it on internet

Case 3d models

[crimson wigeon]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-80he

[rugged plinth]

Is therr kdb fan case 3d models?

[wheat plume]

Maybe need to contact kdb fans for that question xd

[gusty kiln]

Feels like barely anyone talks about gsync pulsar anymore. Kinda feels like it's a flop in the world of affordable oleds

[steady sail]

tbh i know its out but thats it

[umbral heron]

VRR off
We limit frames in this household

[nimble arch]

AMD GPU owner cope

[gusty kiln]

they are all around 500 usd

[nimble arch]

Enjoy your low frames

[umbral heron]

SORRY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY 4K240

[gusty kiln]

I'm kinda interested in those 5K dual mode monitoe that are coming soon

1440p in the dual mode is much better than 1080p dual mode

[umbral heron]

Yeah, 5k2.5k look cool

[steady sail]

did they even added more monitors that has GSYNC Pulsar support ?

[gusty kiln]

there's like only 2 monitor with pulsar at my local microcenter

[steady sail]

nvidia list 2 monitors and 2 more coming soo yeah i would call it a slop

[gusty kiln]

what monitors have fps pros been using?

still zowie? or have they moved the OLED?

[steady sail]

still on zowie

[umbral heron]

Benq is paying too much

[gusty kiln]

the only oled is the sony one lol

[lapis plaza]

Pulsar are oled?

[gusty kiln]

thought some would at least try the pulsar monitos

no

they are all IPS I think

[wheat plume]

dafuq are those things on the side?

[gusty kiln]

light blockers or distraction blockers

[umbral heron]

You know how horses have those things so they can stay focused on the road in front of them?

[wheat plume]

esports gamers are literally horses so?

[heady hazel]

proper gooncave monitor for added privacy

[wheat plume]

LOL CALS YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF

[umbral heron]

In the end Zowie is overpriced VA, so that they can spend earned money to sponsor pros, so they earn even more money from marketing

[wheat plume]

added privacy for only the top half of the display xd

[gusty kiln]

I thought zowies are TN still lol

[wheat plume]

yeh probably, for max speed

[gusty kiln]

still in my QDEL waiting room

[umbral heron]

Oh, TN, right

VA is smeary mess, TN is no contrast, color or viewing angle

[sullen bear]

someone in this discord paid like 800 for a zowie 600 hz monitor instead of an oled so the marketing is working

[gusty kiln]

even OLED still have some compromises

[ashen spindle]

VA is fine if its the modern samsung ones

[umbral heron]

The newer OLEDs you go, the less and less they have

[gusty kiln]

IPS Black tech is kinda interesting too

[gusty kiln]

yeah, the only real issue now is vrr flicker. Burn in is mitigated a lot and pixel struction is now normal

[sullen bear]

nvm it was a 280hz dyac 2 monitor for 500 instead of 280hz oled

[umbral heron]

I'm happy without VRR

[gusty kiln]

zowie is only worth if you're actually close to being a pro

cuz that's what every event is going to use

[umbral heron]

If you play only CS or Valorant and do absolutely nothing else on your PC basically

[sullen bear]

what even is the difference between BFI and Dyac2 apart from dyac2 being sponsored in events?

[umbral heron]

Supposedly BFI is better for hi res/lower fps, and dyac for low res/higher fps

[steady sail]

lamo

[gusty kiln]

pulsar should be the best BFI implementation out of all of them

[heady hazel]

@empty wren honestly the gcode is fine , gotta dial in the rest

[ashen spindle]

its different implementations of similar things, some are more tuned towards motion stability others more to not lose contrast, then different people react to it in different ways, some get headaches from one but not the other etc.

[unkempt lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STWvlCefL4Q

[nimble arch]

But but melting CPUs something something longer support cycles

AyyMD

[ashen spindle]

nobody who cares about platform longevity will use ecc drimms

and its not a rug pull when we dont even know if its intended yet

and bill already said that even if the memory team says there is some reason for this and its intended, they will have some OC menu option to change it, as he is srunning it at 6400 jedec ecc just fine

[vagrant pagoda]

yep

[ashen spindle]

In our base AGESA, there is no frequency limit for ECC or any other supported memory type

[vagrant pagoda]

its 100% a bug if its all cpus as eypc 4500 has explicit 5600 ECC support.

there is even QVL 5600 memory for eypc 4500

[ashen spindle]

you mean 4005

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

amds stupid naming

but either way, no way they would drop a major feature like like from eypc withouth changing it everywhere

[ashen spindle]

am kinda disappointed by wendell going for the clickbait thumbnail when even the title is fine

[vagrant pagoda]

atleast put a question mark

[nimble arch]

Should've done the 6-7 hands

[ashen spindle]

if its not dead by then people can do it when they upgrade zen6 to 7 on am5

[vagrant pagoda]

its not dead now?

[ashen spindle]

whats not dead?

[pale sigil]

thanks ai, exactly the info i wanted.

[heady hazel]

@empty wren i have a suspicion why my z offset was wrong , not sure how that happened i bent it back and its fine

[empty wren]

oh shoot

well those pins are replaceable thankfully maybe buy a pack

[heady hazel]

definetly will but since i did not have a spare i eyeballed it and bent it back, not sure what happened, likely crashed into a print

[empty wren]

oh well

[empty wren]

that is not too surprising had that happen to a cr touch solenoid

you got a few other probe/sensor options if you get tired of bl touch

[heady hazel]

it works well im just not sure sometimes it collides with prints it seems

[vagrant pagoda]

it should be higher than the nozzle?

[vagrant pagoda]

eddy current 10/10

[empty wren]

ah you bought one yourself?

[vagrant pagoda]

had one

[empty wren]

which brand

[vagrant pagoda]

guess

[empty wren]

beacon3d?

[vagrant pagoda]

BTT fam

[heady hazel]

it is yeah maybe it just accidentaly deployed while printing

[empty wren]

ohh

that one is rudimentary

but cheap enough to do the job and affordable for most

[vagrant pagoda]

its the same thing

[empty wren]

nah

[vagrant pagoda]

100%

[empty wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuO69kIL7io&pp=ygURYmVhY29uM2Qgc2Nhbm5pbmc%3D

[vagrant pagoda]

it literally dose that

[empty wren]

it may do that

but it does not go contact

i am betting

[vagrant pagoda]

go contact?

[empty wren]

https://docs.beacon3d.com/contact/

[empty wren]

sorry i meant do contact

[vagrant pagoda]

yes it dose

thats ALL softwar and the kipper devs made thier own version

both the beacon and btt use the EXTACT same ldc1612

[empty wren]

i see so they caught up then

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean yeah

it wasnt anything fancy

[empty wren]

well beacon shared some code

which eventually made it to mainline klipper

[vagrant pagoda]

it was add in 2024

[empty wren]

i see

[vagrant pagoda]

it was gpl3

[empty wren]

i see so i guess the only advantage beacon has is high temp

[vagrant pagoda]

so dose btt

[empty wren]

some people have even water cooled the rev h scanner

or fed it 3.3v

[vagrant pagoda]

100c isnt enough for peek and 60 is more than enough for asa

thats likely wyt

[empty wren]

stock no, but it is nice to do ambient chamber 80c

[vagrant pagoda]

60-80 isnt gonna do anything other than make cooling worse

[empty wren]

why would cooling be worse

[vagrant pagoda]

chamber hotter = lower temp delta

[empty wren]

well abs/asa wants hot air

[vagrant pagoda]

you still have to cool the plastic as it extruds or will sag/deform

[empty wren]

well in that case can pump outside air in

[vagrant pagoda]

also eddy dosent have a accelermoter to get hot anyway

[vagrant pagoda]

then you will cause drafts

which will warp the part

you need the chamber to be at the same temp

[empty wren]

well btt sells ebb36 and ebb42 anyways

[heady hazel]

abs without a chamber is not a good idea imo

[empty wren]

i mean honestly, i still rather just circulate hot air or design the part properly

[vagrant pagoda]

yes thats what im saying

asa/abs only need 60 to print

80 wont help

only time you need 80 is if the chamber is poorly deisgned and the average is under 80

[empty wren]

i have read that some people say abs/asa looks nicer at higher ambient

[empty wren]

okay fair point there, especially since there is a lot brute force used in the hobby

[heady hazel]

i mean the surface finish might be nicer with higher temp

[vagrant pagoda]

the issue is lots of printers need 80 set to actually get and maintian 60

[empty wren]

i will happily test that myself later

[vagrant pagoda]

stick 4 or 5 sensors in the chamber to get an actuall average

[empty wren]

yes that would be smart

along with better or proper insulation

[vagrant pagoda]

i used thermal camera to build the ducts to get very even temp

but its easily because its a giant corexy

[heady hazel]

my friend is insulating his printer right now for that reason iirc hes got a anycubic kobra s1

[empty wren]

with what i wonder?

[vagrant pagoda]

i have a raidant barrier and 4 inch of foam

[vagrant pagoda]

i have the rp2020 accel board

i dont use the built in driver one

[empty wren]

that is fine

[heady hazel]

3d printed parts and a ton of foam

[vagrant pagoda]

it has the lis2dw

[empty wren]

i see, one guy i think used 3d parts to fill the inside volume

[vagrant pagoda]

you want the most inside volume possible

[empty wren]

well yeah but here i will paint the picture better

[vagrant pagoda]

lots of air, lots of air flow and even heating

[vagrant pagoda]

i use a pair of bed heaters wth headsinks on it

[empty wren]

spool holders on the core one skus reduce the internal air volume

[vagrant pagoda]

reducing internal volume means you have poor insluation or poor heat control

you want a BIGGER volume for more stable temps

[empty wren]

if you say so

[vagrant pagoda]

takes longer to heat or cool a larger volume of air

[empty wren]

well if that is angle you are taking

that does make sense

[vagrant pagoda]

you dont want rapid temp changes

[heady hazel]

hmm enclosed is the way to go but i have to say for now my 50€ ender 3v2 is serving me well

[empty wren]

you can put a box over it noah if you need a chamber

[vagrant pagoda]

bed is 1/2 alu with 2 temp probes and 500w heating, chamber is 2 300w bead heaters on alum heatsinks with 4 140mm nocutas ppc for the air flow

i have 4 air temp sensors

[heady hazel]

yeah i could but for now i just want to prove people wrong that dislike the ender 3

[empty wren]

are those fans not gonna die though?

[empty wren]

ah slightly out of the range

[vagrant pagoda]

and per nocuta that is only for the rubbers

the actual fan and motor are fine to 100c

[empty wren]

i see, and probably highish insulation class

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

so they could break down

they they are rated like 500v or something crazy

[empty wren]

at 60C that sounds safe okay, you cleared my doubts

[empty wren]

it is an alright machine, but i think you will end up outgrowing it one day

[vagrant pagoda]

the accel is rated 85

[heady hazel]

oh definetly but i want to learn on it, i dont want to end up like those folks that start with a perfect printer , i want to experience the pitfalls and learn from them

[empty wren]

that seems pretty close to the 4028 deltas some use

https://www.fabreeko.com/products/2510-performance-axial-fan-by-honeybadger?_pos=2&_sid=374838215&_ss=r

honeybadger fans are about the same

[vagrant pagoda]

thats a 25mm

these are 140mm

[empty wren]

they sell other fans...

[vagrant pagoda]

and that was for the acceleromtere from btt

itsonly rated to 85c

you know what i use for part cooling

[empty wren]

in fairness to them there are no usb chips i think it was for high temp

[vagrant pagoda]

also did you see that roetz used a mini cordless leaf blower in his latest video

after i recommend one to you XD

[empty wren]

not yet

[empty wren]

i definitely will nab the one from harbor freight in the future for disassembly

[vagrant pagoda]

thats a makita so i get why he didnt gut it

i cut everything off mine

and run it off a esc

[empty wren]

well i am concerned about the windings

[vagrant pagoda]

why

[empty wren]

and etc at 80c

[vagrant pagoda]

ecs is out side

that was the point

[empty wren]

correct

[vagrant pagoda]

only motor is inside the heat

i added a bypass port that blows some air on the motor

[empty wren]

right

but motor has the windings

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

its also like 30 bucks

and im running it on like 1/3 speed

[empty wren]

for curtain cooling in the center?

[vagrant pagoda]

full speed will literally blow the extrustion off the part

cpap fans are like 10-20 cfm

[empty wren]

yeah they are doodoo

[vagrant pagoda]

this is 100+

[empty wren]

120cfm

to be exact

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[empty wren]

i am planning to ditch all part cooling for the leafblowers by the way

[vagrant pagoda]

tbo

i plan of ditching it

and getting the axial one

[empty wren]

too loud for you?

[vagrant pagoda]

the centrif are good for pressure

not volume

[tribal dirge]

Wtaf

[vagrant pagoda]

this will be smaller and easier to package

and they are all brushless

[empty wren]

yeah but that will have low cfm

better than cpap sure

[tribal dirge]

I'm ngl, server fans make for better cooling fans

[vagrant pagoda]

im running the leaf blower at 10~12v

[empty wren]

ratrig users use 4028s

[vagrant pagoda]

eh

they are pressure fans

[tribal dirge]

Yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

youdont need pressure

[tribal dirge]

You do

[vagrant pagoda]

plan is new housing and mount on print head

[vagrant pagoda]

no you dont for part cooling

[tribal dirge]

Yes? Because you are forcing air through a small opening

You need high static pressure

[vagrant pagoda]

the tiny opening is because you dont have good cfm

the goal is to keep the part at chamber temp and get the extrution to chamber temp fast

[tribal dirge]

Oh I use them for sheet cooling

[tribal dirge]

Ouhhhhhh

High temp I see

[vagrant pagoda]

i have a almost 1m core xy

withouth a heated chamber pla will lift

[tribal dirge]

Yeah that makes sense

Mine is a tiny V0 meant to print fast because I'm impatient

LMAO

[vagrant pagoda]

i use mostly 1.2 nozzle with 1~2mm width

my goal is kg/h go up

[tribal dirge]

Fair fair

[vagrant pagoda]

i have a lgx ace magnum+

with 130w of hotend it will do ~.6kg/h

[tribal dirge]

I have a clone mosquito hotend

[empty wren]

nf crazy?

[vagrant pagoda]

LGX uses the extruder as the heatsink

its wild

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, volcano block with a flow extender and a 240W heater because running a 12V heater on 24V is a great idea!!!!!

[empty wren]

geez

[tribal dirge]

I doubt it's actually 240W

But that's just my best guess

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean youd heat soak way under 240w

i cant even do 150w on a magnum+

[tribal dirge]

Oh and the bed gets to temp in 40-60 seconds because it's a 12V on 24V also

[tribal dirge]

It's overkill I know, but it works

[empty wren]

your bed is tiny though!

[tribal dirge]

But I'm impatient

[vagrant pagoda]

no im saying your be melting all the way into the heatbreak with 200w

[tribal dirge]

Oh I am well aware

LMAO

[vagrant pagoda]

thats the major diff in the mosquite vs magnum

is longer melt, and bigger heatbreak

[tribal dirge]

Mine is like a mosquito clone hotend

[vagrant pagoda]

yes

which means it has the small heatbreak

[tribal dirge]

Yeah lmao

[vagrant pagoda]

the magnum has the condom

[tribal dirge]

But luckily I print so fast that heat creep is rarely an issue LMAO

[vagrant pagoda]

and lets you do 50w all the time

the mag+ has the longer melt and heatbreak to do 100

the prime has the ultra long melt to do 200w

you are running it at 50-60w max other than warmup

[tribal dirge]

The one I have is like roughly equivalent to magnum plus because it has the extended volcano block and the flow extender

[vagrant pagoda]

what is your flow rate on pla?

[tribal dirge]

About 130mm^3/sec

[vagrant pagoda]

200w should be 400+ g/h

130? no shot

[tribal dirge]

It's PLA heated to 300C lmao

way over temp

If it's like 240C it's closer to like 60-70

[vagrant pagoda]

you sure its 130 cubic flow and not 30

[empty wren]

rip mechnical properties

[vagrant pagoda]

30 would be CRAZY out of that hotend

130 is impossible

130 on 1.75 filament would need a servo instead of a stepper XD

[tribal dirge]

I've seen other printers that can do 200 with a similar ish hotend setup

And extruder

[tribal dirge]

Ohno it's not the one with the short block

It's the one with the long one

[vagrant pagoda]

stil

you relize thats like 100mm/s of filimiment right

[tribal dirge]

Oh I know

Wait, 130mm^3/s?

Or 100mm/s with 130g/s?

Because I'm talking in 130mm^3/s not 130g/s

[vagrant pagoda]

no the filimint would be moving at 100m/s to get 130mm^3

[tribal dirge]

Oh yeah I know

That's why the extruder motor is a nema 17

Running at 59.8V

At 3 amps

[vagrant pagoda]

with a ~7:1 reducvtion thats like 200+ rpm

[tribal dirge]

It's a Voron M4 Bowden extruder

[vagrant pagoda]

a bowden

really

[tribal dirge]

I mean it's a V0

Although Tbf the racetrack test isn't the best test for flow

[vagrant pagoda]

you know who roetz is right

he literally has a one off custom 4 into 1 1.75 direct drive

that he HOPES will one day do 200mm³

[tribal dirge]

Yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

some how youre doing 130mm³ with a single bowden

his 2in1 barely dose 125

[tribal dirge]

With the racetrack test yeah

Which probs isn't the best test to use

[vagrant pagoda]

the literally FASTEST 3d printer builder in the world with bespoke sls printed custom hotends cant do 130mm with a dual 1.75 direct drive

[tribal dirge]

They used the blob test right?

Because iirc racetrack test is flawed by the fact that it measures up until you see extrusion gaps rather than mass difference

Which is probs why the racetrack got me results that was kind of high

[vagrant pagoda]

the limit is literally the extruder though

[ornate dust]

Are you guys talking about leaf blowers

[tribal dirge]

Yeah fair

[vagrant pagoda]

you cant force 1.75 fast enough

125 with DUAL 1.75 is impressive

[next cargo]

yeah we are

[tribal dirge]

Yeah hmm, idk what went wrong with my racetrack test then

[next cargo]

i still need to racetrack test my Ryobi 800 CFM Whisper Series

[tribal dirge]

Or what could have went wrong

[vagrant pagoda]

actual printing

[tribal dirge]

I see

Something likely went wrong with the racetrack test then

[vagrant pagoda]

just get the extruder step/s

and do the math

130mm³ is ~50m/s of 1.75

thats like 4 seconds per spool rotation

[tribal dirge]

Maybe the slicer messed something up idk

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah think about the spool rotatiing 1/4 turn per second

that is a lot of filamnet

getting over 50mm³ with 1.75 is a ton

thats a spool rotation ever ~10 seconds

thats still crazy fast

[tribal dirge]

When I did the test the spool was rotating pretty fast

It actually fell off the spool holder several times

[vagrant pagoda]

thats also 2 hours per spool flow rate

500 grams an hour

in pla

[tribal dirge]

Yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

im lucky to hit 500 with a 1.4 nozzle and 2.85 filimint

direct dive with something that has 300mm+ stright sides

flat out it will do 450-460 in vase mode

[tribal dirge]

Racetrack in a way is sort of a glorified vase mode print

[vagrant pagoda]

generally it will do more in bursts

it will get peaks of 500 on ~300mm stright runs

450 is where it will do it continously

thats with a 1.4mm cht

[tribal dirge]

Hmm yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

and thats in a 35c chamber so a little preheat

with convection shield and ceramic around that

[tribal dirge]

I see

[vagrant pagoda]

a lot of people have put a loot of work into and 50 on 1.75 would be like top 10

[tribal dirge]

really!? I thought it would be way lower

I forget how much the crazy VZbot hotend could do

but that one is also crazy

[vagrant pagoda]

stock the hf nf is only 35

[empty wren]

Goliath has a horrid thermistor location and also oozes.

[tribal dirge]

hmm, if thats the case then the sub 2 minute benchy I printed shouldnt be possible either

but it printed (albeit it looks ugly)

this is very weird

[vagrant pagoda]

commanded flow rate and actual arent the same

you easily could be slipping

[tribal dirge]

if it was slipping then the racetrack test should have failed way earlier too

[vagrant pagoda]

you gotta weigh the part after

[tribal dirge]

the problem with the racetrack test is that its supposed to keep going until you see visual confirmation of extrusion abnormalities.

[vagrant pagoda]

and it dose 50

[tribal dirge]

so you cant really weigh it afterwards when you are done.

[vagrant pagoda]

not 130

[vagrant pagoda]

im talking benchy

[tribal dirge]

oh the benchy

[vagrant pagoda]

if it isnt 12.5g in pla then it isnt done

[tribal dirge]

I lost the benchy but I can print it again someday and weigh it and compare against the slicer estimate

and then the percent difference is whats been underextruded

although its so weird that the racetrack test gave such a high number

[vagrant pagoda]

again commanded and actual are different

tell the slicer to stop the race track before the area it goes bad

and weigh it

[tribal dirge]

yeah, I guess the only real way to measure actual extrusion is the blob test

force it to extrude a blob, and you weigh the blob and compare against the theoretical value

iirc there was like a website made by cnc kitchen that does exactly this

and you just run the gcode

should probs do it someday

[vagrant pagoda]

just make a cube

then edit the gcode to remove all the z x and y

[tribal dirge]

could do that too

and then overclock it to surpass it all?

[ashen spindle]

pro just means its the exact same with the pro validation for memory etc.

[vagrant pagoda]

relabled eypc?

[ashen spindle]

no

its just the regular cpus with stuff like extended bios support or validation for stuff

kinda like intel vpro and that

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/technologies/pro-technologies.html

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah 4005 is just ryzen with disabled igpu and validation.

and memory encyption i think

[ashen spindle]

well hardware wise both of them are relabled desktop parts yes

one is relabled as epyc with whatever validation that comes with and the pro line has other things

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle any laptop news?

why is my wooting saying this

Users are experiencing severe lag, frozen tabs, and in some cases the entire browser becomes unresponsive.

[rough patrol]

Oh is that why my shit just crashes randomly and i need to open a new tab

[vapid ruin]

waow

[crimson wigeon]

Just get more RAM

7 GiB? That's nothing!

[reef patrol]

Was about to say. I haven't noticed this yet, but I also have 64GB of RAM

[tired sphinx]

[vapid ruin]

I haven't noticed it despite only having 24gb on my mac, but I also have only 2-3 active safari tab active

[reef patrol]

And Brave's tab suspender is pretty tight as well. So I probably wouldn't ever notice this, even with 12 videos on idle.

[nimble arch]

Just don’t be poor and get more RAM lol

[sullen bear]

Reliable solution to googles vibecoding? Just adblock them!

[primal sluice]

hi guys i have a question so i did an update on my wooting and now its not connecting anymore only thing thats lightning up is E R In Red can someone help me with that

[ashen spindle]

Doesn’t change anything since that’s just a configurable default value

[umbral heron]

Why not call it Pro 9950X3D? Why 9965X3D? What is naming dept in AMD smoking, really? First 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, and now this

[umbral heron]

4th May - first time Plasma crashed this year
And that's because of Firefox integration addon

[primal sluice]

Omg thank you, very much It worked.

[ashen spindle]

because the pro skus have a 45/65 ending for ages now this is consistent

[ashen spindle]

If they had the same name people would complain about people buying the wrong same name cpu with lower settings

[runic valve]

I’m trying to buy a new laptop I’m going for the Lenovo legion 5 pro (4070, i7, 32gb ram, 1tb storage) but I’m not sure if there’s better options out there.. my last laptop was an asus tuf a15 (1660ti ryzen 7000, 8gb ram, 256 storage)

[reef patrol]

Ultimately depends on how good of a deal you can get. I was deciding between an HP Omen 16" (5060) and a Legion LOQ.

Ultimately depends on how much you want a metal chassis, the size of the screen and your luck with combination of hardware.

Do I repeat myself? Yes. I do do that sometimes. My brain fails to catch up to me typing 😄

[runic valve]

I just hope I’m not making a mistake with the legion 5 pro

Weird thing is I feel like I’m gonna miss my old laptop even tho heh it’s bad and caused me a lot of headache

[runic valve]

My old one has 8gb of ram so I’m sure yall can visualize the “headache”

Not to mention 256gb of storage

[ashen spindle]

whats the cpu in the lenovo

i7 is just a range

[runic valve]

Not sure if I should do i7

Or amd

Oh yeah you’re right I haven’t decided on cpu..

Uhhh.. this is my first time buying a laptop and I think I made it painfully obvious

[ashen spindle]

again, thats not the cpu name

I'm asking what the cpu is

[halcyon moss]

quin is asking for something like this: i7 4850f

[runic valve]

Oh…

I.. haven’t decided

Oops

[ashen spindle]

well its not a decision you asked about a specific laptop, which cpu did it have

cpu is like the most important factor in most laptops to know if its a good option or not

[runic valve]

13700hx

[ashen spindle]

used laptop? otherwise thats quite old

[runic valve]

No I’m trying to buy it new

[runic valve]

Well they say it’s good enough..

[ashen spindle]

sounds like walmart employee trying to sell leftover that they cant get rid of lmao

[runic valve]

By they I mean like what they say about it online

[ashen spindle]

what is it you want to use it for and whats the budget

[runic valve]

Actually not that much!

I’m on the younger side of people and all I do is school

Some games that a gtx can handle fine..

For me what I’m tryna get is already crazy overkill

But I want it to be future proof

Because I’ll have to move to Singapore in a few years

[ashen spindle]

well I need to know a budget number and an example workload of workapp/game or I cant tell you what hardware makes sense

[runic valve]

That’s why I’m planning to get 32gb of ram even tho I’m a 8gb ram survivor in 2026

[ashen spindle]

like the ram doesnt matter if the rest is too slow anyway

[runic valve]

Just about the legion 5 pro’s price range..

And for my workload

[ashen spindle]

just give me a number I'm not going to google what a legion 5 costs in singapore

[runic valve]

Let’s see uh zoom.. Roblox some steam games that aren’t too heavy (the games I play already can be ran on a gtx 1660)

[runic valve]

Uh well 1k to 1.5k dollars

[halcyon moss]

anticipating next question, which dollars?

[runic valve]

US dollars
