[mortal swallow]

I only really see 8700k though

hard to find a comparison

[ashen spindle]

they are almost the same you can compare using that

just assume its a little bit less

[mortal swallow]

what a 8700k?

[ashen spindle]

ya

7000 and 8000 series intel is extremely similar

its just got two extra cores so idk take the 8700k number and lower it by like 10%

[mortal swallow]

to me it looks noticeably worse

like 15%+ on average

[ashen spindle]

yes due to it having 2 more cores but each cores performance is very similar, sorry should've clarified

[mortal swallow]

yea I see it

I showed him and he said he just wants to get the 5600 cause it’s only like $50 more

and he wants the Val fps sum like that

[ashen spindle]

well, if hes getting a 5600 might as well consider not giving him your 5800x because its not going to do much more but will be harder to cool xD

[vagrant pagoda]

5600 is good pick, as you could get a used x3d someday

[sullen bear]

13th gen is still an option too, and i assume 14th gen too then? For ddr4

[ashen spindle]

last I looked doesnt make much sense in the us price wise

similar or worse value than am4 and no upgrade option if wanting to stay on the ddr4 socket

[fair gull]

arent they both electron apps

or at least steam uses CEF i think

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah, Steam uses its own custom CEF thing and it's all kinds of awful

I hate windows

My store and Xbox app just will not let me login

I've done a bunch of fixes with no luck and I'm losing my mind.

Apparently it's because I used force local user on rufus -_-

I have to use a different account to login

[crimson wigeon]

Using hacks breaks the system, who knew

GPU Hardware video encoding when screen sharing

[surreal thorn]

Great that I recently installed fedora

[wheat plume]

Welcome, Fedora is legit my alltime fav distro 😍 I hope you really love it too

[umbral heron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jhRqgHxEP8

[wheat plume]

just did the 44 upgrade

bruh wut

still only deb download 🤔 where is the RPM ?!

[surreal thorn]

Yeah i've been starting to do a bit of linux and legit everything has been working fine, only had to tweak some things but they were very easy

I've heard fedora's stable too

[wheat plume]

yeh, its rock solid from my experience

If you wanna go all out with maximum stability, I recommend Bluefin
Its based on Fedora Atomic and they release updates roughly once a week which will download automatically for you then install the next time you boot the PC

0 maintenance, super reliable

Pixel Android is so pretty 😍

[surreal thorn]

might make a VM and try it out

[empty wren]

Starting to look like TouchWiz in my opinon

[pastel galleon]

excited to get my moms old Pixel 8 Pro and flash GrapheneOS on it

[wheat plume]

also there is a command called ujust on bluefin that has a load of potentially useful stuff

[wheat plume]

nothing will look as ugly as touchwiz...I hope

[surreal thorn]

dirty criminal wanting privacy

[empty wren]

It is not colored that way but there is more business on screen

[tribal dirge]

and they're gonna shove as much AI in it as possible with Android 17

[empty wren]

I mean at least on Google's phones they likely know what they are doing

They have been doing it before the bubble formed

Yeah some stuff does not always stick

Call screening and on hold functions are a result of algorithms

[wheat plume]

yes

[tribal dirge]

there are a few good android 17 features that I like. like this one for instance. https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/pause-point/

[empty wren]

Fair enough

[halcyon moss]

Always had

[umbral heron]

Restricting access to install apps also

[wheat plume]

I like it

except I wont have any gaps

[empty wren]

Notifications and permission access are definitely all nice

[wheat plume]

ooooo

vulkan native on Android 17

[ashen spindle]

whats that got to do with the android version?

[umbral heron]

Since Android 7.0 you mean

[iron kelp]

i need help wit my setup idk if i want a black or white mouse

[umbral heron]

No, wait, sorry, 10.0
Since 7.0 there's baseline support, since 10.0 there's native support

[ashen spindle]

doesnt really matter what android does anyway most of it is limited by older/cheaper phone chips just not having vulkan physically supported no?

[umbral heron]

I think it's been a requirement to support Vulkan 1.1 since Android 10
Anyway, even dirtiest, cheapest Mali GPU will support Vulkan 1.1 nowadays

[halcyon moss]

I haven't cared about android versions in a long time now

[empty wren]

i might be going about it wrong, but this is how far i got

no versions in sight

[digital holly]

hi i wanted to ask
i bought the tenz keyboard for 280$
not including the taxes i have to pay for my country to let it go in the airport
and now i saw its made out of Plastic?
i thought its going to be premium keyboard, like something out of this world
what do u think about it? should i refund or is the plastic maybe good?

[steady sail]

the plastic that wooting uses overall is pretty durable and good

[ashen spindle]

its a limited edition, these always cost more than a regular keyboard of the same variant

if you expected something like a limited run with a metal casing etc. that would likely have run above 500 easily

[fair gull]

its just a keyboard made how tenz wanted it

we also have a 30 days no questions asked return policy

so you can in theory try it and then return it if you really want within those 30days

[sinful quest]

pretty sure it's even 30 days if I am not mistaken?

[fair gull]

right crap this is wooting

[sinful quest]

yes, it's actually good

[fair gull]

well for some companies i ordered from even 14 days would be heaven

[ashen spindle]

this is so funny when the advantage of intels packaing is cost and almost nothing else, cowos does scale a lot better, can do a lot bigger etc.

[steady sail]

some only has a 3 days

[sudden imp]

I’d get a Pixel if I wasn’t an iPhone user. It does look really good.

[digital holly]

the 80he, not the tenz one, is made out of metal?

[fair gull]

one store i ordered from had a 1 day policy

[fair gull]

not by default

[ashen spindle]

these are the normal 80he options

[sinful quest]

depends on the configuration, it got a metal option but it's expensive

[fair gull]

you could also buy a metal case and put the tenz one in it

[digital holly]

ohhhh

[fair gull]

but the tenz edition is just the 80he how tenz wanted it

he said he wants pcr plastic so he got it

[digital holly]

how can i buy the metal case?

[fair gull]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-80he-zinc-alloy-case

[sinful quest]

oh lmao, the black zinc is still in stock here?

[digital holly]

This product variant is not available for your region.

thats what is says

[sinful quest]

there are also 3rd party cases like the GT80 which is made out of aluminium from KBDfans

[fair gull]

thats prob black zinc case

we are reworking the coating on those

[digital holly]

and its cost 111$?

[fair gull]

its a metal case

[digital holly]

😭

[fair gull]

yes

id suggest trying it first

maybe you dont even want a metal case

also keep in mind with a metal case the entire keyboard weight goes up to roughly 2kg i think

[digital holly]

oh not good

well yea im gonna try it first

[fair gull]

metal keyboards are all quite heavy compared to the plastic version (not just ours)

[digital holly]

i think i will like it, but i mean like its 280$ and probably going to get to 400$ because of my country

[fair gull]

i mean i wish we could control import taxes and fees but well... we cant

[digital holly]

yea lol

why wont u like sell it to shops

and then u can sell more

[ashen spindle]

doesnt work just like that

adds more overhead costs, needs scaling etc.

[sinful quest]

https://wooting.io/authorised-resellers there are resellers

[digital holly]

oh cool

yall gotta start reselling in israel

lots of people who love your products from here im sure

[reef patrol]

Not us. Resellers.

If a seller in a country wants to do business with us, it's on them to reach out.

We're not going to start spamming local businesses asking to resell our products.

If you know of any good candidates, talk to them and let them know.

[digital holly]

i mean like i know big companies here who work with razer, logitech, hyperx and more
i can maybe create contact with them but just so you know they are not small businesses like they have lots of branches here

At this point they can choke on something

Tbh

I just resorted to using discord on my phone when booted onto Linux beacause the app is downright bad, and let's be real it's gonna be worse x3

[pastel galleon]

i haven't been using discord on any of my pcs for 10 months almost

takes up so many resources on pc and I lose track of time very easily, at least I have the inconvenience of being forced to check my phone and be very aware of time

also I just end up vcing a lot of my friends on the go way more this way, and I started using my PC with intent rather than just bc of discord, so I have undone a lot of bad habits

and i mean the direction discord is generally going in is very bad imo

[halcyon moss]

if you dont need it for Voice, just run it in a browser tab

even for VC it would work fine i'd think, but maybe not for push tot talk

[pastel galleon]

I do vc most of the time though when I use it

and I would rather just not use it at all on PC

[reef patrol]

[tulip marlin]

honestly it could be a town

is this a good place to ask so;thing related from switching from windows to linux as a student?

[crimson wigeon]

Plenty of Linux users here

[rough patrol]

yeah just ask linux questions and they will materialize out of nothing

[tulip marlin]

kay

[crimson wigeon]

Especially if you make it a very negative sounding message

[tulip marlin]

so i am on windows and honestly tired of it i have 6gig of RAM on my laptop and windows alone use mre than 75% a friend told me that CachyOS is a great option but i looked and it seem like it'is ained for gamin. is it still good to have a functionnable laptop that don't overheat due to a trash OS

[smoky parrot]

@umbral heron I just installed a new metal joystick to replace the OG plastic one!

[rough patrol]

i would honestly just try it out and see

make a backup of all the files on the laptop and then you can give it a try for a few weeks, if it works out well you can use it longer term

[tulip marlin]

hmmm sounds rational

[rough patrol]

but if you dont plan to game then maybe a different distro would work better

[tulip marlin]

i have everything on my cloud

[tulip marlin]

like which one?

[rough patrol]

what the hell, how will you chew through it with your fingernails then??

[rough patrol]

i have heard good things of mint for example, but maybe cachy is the way to go right now since it's the most popular at this time and if you run into any issues you can probably find people to help

[tulip marlin]

my dad used mint and he told me that it's not that good

he switch to ARCh but he is a developer i don't have his skills

[rough patrol]

i mean it all really depends what you want to do right

if you just need something to use browser and maybe a text editor

[halcyon moss]

looking at mint screenshots.. that takes me back to the old gnome 2 days (because thats what it is)

[rough patrol]

then you wouldnt need all the gaming features and you'd rather have something stable that doesnt use too many resources

[umbral heron]

CachyOS for gaming, Mint or Fedora for everyday use

[tulip marlin]

what are they running on?

and what are the differencies

[umbral heron]

Cachy is Arch, Mint is Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora is... Fedora

[tulip marlin]

kay

[smoky parrot]

Exactly

[tulip marlin]

i have 6gig of RAM i can use all of them or will Cachy be less usable

[crimson wigeon]

You can try any, don't think Cachy is specifically for gaming though. Can do that just fine on most distros!
It is however very yolo-performance optimized, so it might be very fast but a bit unstable at times

[rough patrol]

fedora be like m'linux tips hat

[tulip marlin]

yolo-performance?

[crimson wigeon]

They have experimental changes that make things super-duper fast that are not in other distros

[surreal thorn]

i tried mint but then i swapped to fedora and its been really nice no issues

[halcyon moss]

fedora was the community edition of redhat

[tulip marlin]

yeah because it's Arch

[smoky parrot]

Now I gotto find nice keys for my 3ds to replace those too

[crimson wigeon]

Arch does not have those things

[surreal thorn]

idrk what to learn in linux

[tulip marlin]

isn't Arch used to try new optimisation methode?

or it's another one

[crimson wigeon]

Nope, Cachy is for that

[tulip marlin]

okay so not specificaly Arch just Cachy

i think i'll try both fedora and Cachy then i'll choose

too tired of windows

[surreal thorn]

I hate linux tiktok so much

[bleak merlin]

Both options are good, just try em out and see what you like more

[bleak merlin]

Solution: delete tiktok

[rough patrol]

real

[surreal thorn]

True

I deleted twitter 2 years ago idk why i cant delete tiktok

[tulip marlin]

yeah that's what i understood from this convo and i think the best way to choose is try by yourself

don't have tiktok

[bleak merlin]

Break the chains while you still can

[surreal thorn]

There's a feature where you can block yt shorts I think

[tulip marlin]

i wish i could do the same thing with other expansive thing

[crimson wigeon]

Shortslop is bad enough by itself, Linux shortslop sounds horrible

[surreal thorn]

everyone hates everyone there

[tulip marlin]

i am interested

[surreal thorn]

idk if it's on pc

let me check

[bleak merlin]

M_____ that shall not be named coz ToS

[tulip marlin]

hope it is it's annoying to see ytb short in my fyp

[bleak merlin]

If I'm on pc I just use yt-dlp

[surreal thorn]

dont think its on pc :(

[tulip marlin]

what's yt-dlp

[tulip marlin]

sad

[leaden kiln]

I was agonizing over what distro to pick yesterday too but I never got anywhere

[leaden kiln]

shorts blocker browser plugin is nice, makes shorts appear in the regular video player instead

[halcyon moss]

its easy to overthink this.
pick something stable and decently recent.

[crimson wigeon]

And don't even consider those random "gaming" distros

[leaden kiln]

It’s being overthinkd on purpose
last time I used nixos but this time I wanna try something without sysyemd

[halcyon moss]

why

[crimson wigeon]

Because systemd bad

[bleak merlin]

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Kinda complicated, not recommended for folks just starting linux

[surreal thorn]

what other distros dont use systemd the only one i know is gentoo

[bleak merlin]

Void linux

Enter the void

Also artix linux

[tulip marlin]

nop

[leaden kiln]

I was maybe looking at void if I could do s6 instead of runit
or maybe chimera linux

[crimson wigeon]

You said you tried Nix so try the GNU version of that, Guix. Enjoy the package management being ludicrously slow, with very out of date packages too. But hey at least there is no systemd, only shepherd

[tulip marlin]

ain't trying that

[bleak merlin]

Thought so

Just use ya browser

[tulip marlin]

just a quick glance was enough for a headach

ye

[crimson wigeon]

yt-dlp is ace I love how it supports almsot every website with videos, always a pleasant surprise when I drop some random URL onto it and it just downloads the vid like magic

[tulip marlin]

maybe but for now i haven't even doznload neither CachyOS nor fedora

[leaden kiln]

that is one but there are plenty

[surreal thorn]

i just dont know what to do on linux rn fedoras on an old macbook and everything just works

i gotta learn SOMETHING

[tulip marlin]

learn how to cure cancer

by yourself

[reef patrol]

If you need more opinions, LTT released another episode of Linux today.

Brodie Robertson (@BrodieOnLinux)

Linus selected the Video Capture Device setting in OBS, when the Screen Capture setting is 2 spaces above it and wondered why he couldn't capture his screen

X · May 13, 2026, 9:07 AM

[umbral heron]

Just sayin, if he spent like 10 more minutes reading about the topic...

Like, at this point, it's not even "wE arE OnLy enTErtAiNmeNT ChANnel", it's just incompetence and spreading misinformation

[tired sphinx]

i cringe whenever i see their videos about linux

[umbral heron]

Oh, it was about Linux?

[tired sphinx]

they made a new update video of them using linux

[marsh glade]

I stand by Linus' positioning here:
He is trying to demonstrate the experience of a normie

[ashen spindle]

okay but this isn't a normie experience, the tool is the exact same on windows

[umbral heron]

Normie uses Google or chatbot if they can't figure out something though

[modern sky]

To be fair it's refreshing to see a newbie use Linux

I kinda wish that newbie wasn't the biggest tech journalist on YouTube tho

[umbral heron]

Also I'd say that like at least half of normies... you know... read

[tired sphinx]

true but they dont seem to be doing a good job

[marsh glade]

10%, tops

[crimson wigeon]

Reading lol no who does that

[modern sky]

It varies with age

[thick elk]

Definitely an optimist there

[steady sail]

You mean ask questions in discord servers

[modern sky]

Peaks between 28 and 32

[marsh glade]

That sign can't stop me because I can't read

[thick elk]

One of the few times I wished for a wooting support question to pop in this channel to prove the point.

[modern sky]

Isn't that a daily accurance here tho?

[steady sail]

Its more in #💬│general than here

They just love to post it everywhere

[ashen spindle]

at the very least, if you make a mistake like using OBS incorrectly and want to include it as a show of "I thought this issue was x but turns out I just used the wrong setting and not a linux issue" do it like that or idk, add a text overlay after the edit of the video?

[thick elk]

general is still muted for me but happens here often enough.

[marsh glade]

I wish I could mute some channels

[modern sky]

That's what happens when your Linux specialist quits tbh

[ashen spindle]

"theres 5 different solutions in here and I can no longer remember which one worked" like no shit because it was never broken you just selected the wrong setting in the app

[thick elk]

I had half my work's discord muted but yea.

[ashen spindle]

dont need a linux specialist to have anyone look over the video once

didnt they have a early access kinda thing for a while for these things so people can check for issues?

obs even has the same ui and everything on windows

[leaden kiln]

wild 😭

[modern sky]

Tbh I'm gonna call it rn, Linus is gonna get a steam machine put windows on it and complain about performance

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah but if you want to capture your video card you want video capture device right?

[thick elk]

Thing with obs is, it's a trap you fall into go to a new environment where things work differently, assume that's where the problem is.
Happens all the type.

but yea

they should still make a correction though.

[ashen spindle]

yeah, I think that would actually have been a good example of "woops I assumed something was broken bc linux but I just used the wrong option"

and sometimes you will think you used a tool correctly but assume different OS is the issue, thats actually a good thing to point out.. if they had done it

[thick elk]

I can also see the editor glossing over it, not sure how often he uses obs. So fair if they only catch it after publishing. Still correction, captions under it would be nice.

[ashen spindle]

it shouldnt be something the editor needs to capture in the first place honestly... someone like linux should either notice it, or write it down when it works to look wtf actually went wrong instead of just handing it off

[umbral heron]

You don't understand, they don't have time to make videos, because they have to make videos

[thick elk]

Hmm fair, check before showing it in video, hmm fair enough.

[ashen spindle]

like personally, if I'm saying I dont remember what the solution was, maybe someone should check the footage or notes because that would be good content

personally I'd want to know what I did and trace back what I did as well

[high yoke]

quick question. is the module in the pre assembled wooting 60HEv2 the same module that comes with the Module only version?

[fair gull]

yes

[high yoke]

so i can get the pre assembled one in plastic and just take it ut and put it in a better case down the road

[fair gull]

yes

[smoky parrot]

@bold coyote here's a real picture of my 3ds XL :3

[bold coyote]

and if you make it into a (short) video format, they dont watch the whole thing

you cant win

the only way to win is not to play, assume the user is silly and make it so even silly people cant mess it up

[ashen spindle]

this is? https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamframe/compat

[umbral heron]

Compat page is new, but the rest was there before

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah the rest I know

[vagrant pagoda]

LMAO its 16gb ddr4, dude is crazy

[bleak merlin]

https://youtu.be/Td2OQpLD9ik

[sullen bear]

I mean if its ECC ddr4

[vagrant pagoda]

16gb ddr4 ecc is like 2bucks a gb tops

[sullen bear]

its 1.4tb?

[vagrant pagoda]

its 88 16gb sticks

so 1408 gb total

[sullen bear]

still dont think its a weird price

[vagrant pagoda]

you can easily get 32 and 16 gb sticks for 2 bucks a gb

in singles

bulk = cheaper

2800 bucks would be a bad deal for that lot

[gusty kiln]

3250/88 is like 37 a stick

[vagrant pagoda]

3250 is insane

[sullen bear]

32$ per stick?...

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

thats paying a lot even today

you can easily get 32gb for 70

[fair gull]

i can only find 40eur+ sticks single

[sullen bear]

link?

[fair gull]

so like 45-50usd

[vagrant pagoda]

ebay.com

[gusty kiln]

Pre ai days when you could get 32gb ddr4 for like 50 usd new

[vagrant pagoda]

70-75 is the goinug rate for 32gb ddr4 2133

3250 would be a good price for like 64gb sticks

[sullen bear]

?

[vagrant pagoda]

but 16 is wild

[sullen bear]

2933 ecc

[vagrant pagoda]

2133

where did you get 2933

[sullen bear]

you gave 0 info

so I just did 2933

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/133413577267

16gb is sub $2/gb all day long

[gusty kiln]

Ddr3 options only

[fair gull]

one broken, one for roughly 2usd per gb and then its already more

[vagrant pagoda]

ebay search is terrible

XD

[gusty kiln]

It's overpriced but not crazy based on evidence so far

[fair gull]

yes just like your link was terrible

unless the ram linked for 1.4tb is ddr3

[sullen bear]

I still need to see where you can get 1.4tb of it though for that price

[vagrant pagoda]

so you could buy single sticks for less than the bulk lot then

with zero buyer protection

[gusty kiln]

88 times though?

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah some of the ebay listings have 1000+ avaible

[fair gull]

well the one listing you linked wasnt ddr4 so....

[sullen bear]

I also cant find any ddr4 2133 listings with 88 available

[gusty kiln]

maybe the used ddr4 ecc supply is slowly drying up and price are changing accordingly

and 56 sticks only

but yea too much time spent on this nonesensical purchase anyways

[gusty kiln]

And in today's economy, getting the "bulk" together is considered a service fee lol

[vagrant pagoda]

i get all my my used server stuff direct from china these days

[gusty kiln]

Yeah the us used market is fucked by AI

[vagrant pagoda]

i just priced 512 gb 2 days ago and it was under 2 bucks a gb for 64gb ddr4

[gusty kiln]

It got slurped up

[vagrant pagoda]

nah its just us tax on shit

my china frieght forwarder classifies everything as needs repair and that im the repair center so no tarrif

which is almost techically correct as it is broken

[gusty kiln]

Lol

[vagrant pagoda]

it 1/2 of a server

china is eol all of thier ddr4 gpu servers, so its getting cheaper over there

its just in the us its $$$

[gusty kiln]

How much more storage are you adding

[vagrant pagoda]

the actual server im loking at is considered ewaste to them

its going to be my optane dimm setup

[gusty kiln]

Ooo

[vagrant pagoda]

I have some of the ram already and needed the rest of the ddr4

as optane dimm can only be the second dimm

so i need 24 dram and 24 optane

[gusty kiln]

Is this like a weird RAM disk setup

[vagrant pagoda]

it works as ram

just slower

[gusty kiln]

Ooh

[vagrant pagoda]

it can be storage or ram

it has 2 non native modes

im going to use it for llm

i have a 8xv100 32 setup and plan on either another and maybe some b70s

but as wild as it sounds, optane is supppper cheap

like under ddr4 dram

[gusty kiln]

Damn, that's a lot for a home local ai

[vagrant pagoda]

v100 sxm here like ewaste a year ago

but then china made cheap sxm to pcie and they jumped up

but you can get optane dimms for under a $1/gb

i just went though all this pricing over the weekend, which is why i was laughing

my current setup is single socket xeon with 64x12, pre dram crazy

it has a shitty cpu as they were the big money, same with it being single socket

now i can get a 4 socket system with 4x24c xeon and all the pcie slots, for like pennys

but getting the other 64x12 ddr4 is arm and a leg

[vagrant pagoda]

i resell it to clients that want private ai

the same server also has some quad p6 cards for gpu remote vm hosting

issue i have is not enough ram for multiple models

so i have to talk some clients to moving models if other clients want to upgrade too

right now i have 4.7 flash at 32gb+ 5.0 2bit at 250+ + k2.6 at 350

so like 650GB in just models in memory

only have 768 ram, and with the vms, there is like 10gb max to spare XD

luckily i have a good bit of full fat optane swap

[marsh glade]

I ain't reading all that, but I'm happy for you or sorry that happened to you

[vagrant pagoda]

XD

its the hell scape we are in these days

[marsh glade]

My condolences

[vagrant pagoda]

but i new setup will be furture proof for want im willing to run XD

[marsh glade]

Wishing you and your family strength during these difficult times

[vagrant pagoda]

24x64 dram and 24x256 optane will give me 1.5+6TB of ram. So i can load only full fat models

and it will only cost a kidney, not an arm and leg

seems like a lot of ram, but glm 5 and 5.1 are 1.6TB each :*(

[bright briar]

Didnt expect mr akbar to be ulting today

[gusty kiln]

Damn what's your profit margin on this

[vagrant pagoda]

the upgrade will have a 8-10mo roi

[gusty kiln]

Not bad

[vagrant pagoda]

though im not counting the cost of anything other than hardware and power

i alreayd have the home rack setup, fiber and what not anyway

i also do thier computer and video backups, so the llm is an addin

but everyhting runs though vpn to a docker container, that gets wiped at 4am everyday

[gusty kiln]

Bruh wtf if you client doing

[vagrant pagoda]

idk

that wasnt thier requreiemnt

its mine

data retention is a pita

[ashen spindle]

thats the type of person that runs admin/admin as root account

[vagrant pagoda]

if i tell them it never retains

then i dont have to worry about breaking something with update XD

[ashen spindle]

legally also a lot easier I imagine

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[lapis plaza]

Ok apparently the king of england just announced digital ID for UK 😵‍💫

[vagrant pagoda]

just easier to just not do it

with the data and video backups i have dedicated lto for each client

so if there is a legal issue i can just hand that tape over without effecting other clients/personal

the llm is all one setup, so its easier to just retain nothing

[iron wave]

I definitely have some weird underextrusion issues.

[vagrant pagoda]

its slowing down to much for the direction change, could be a motion issue

looks likes its doing the y move ahead of the x change

the 2 extustions are twisted

[iron wave]

I'm only noticing it on long straight lives, none of the curves or short runs seem to do it.

[iron wave]

Huh.

Could it be a tension issue you think? The belts suck to tension.

[vagrant pagoda]

the lines at the top of the image are over top of the start of the next lower

one sec

it can be hard to fix, which is why your infill lines should never align with your axises

[iron wave]

It's only in the one direction which is weird to me, the other side looks fine.

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah something wonky in the motion setup

its too consistant to be filiment issue

[sudden imp]

Q: is there an application to help me get rid of files from things I've "uninstalled" on windows?

I'm trying to get rid of all this clutter

[pale sigil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/GY1LS4t3CE

@wheat plume

[vagrant pagoda]

no thats an issue on every os

its because uninstallers are tierrible

[sudden imp]

RIP

guess I have to manually do this

[crimson wigeon]

Well the much-hated UWP thingamajig did solve this by basically forcing apps to store stuff in predictable locations that can be cleaned up

[wheat plume]

Xxdd

[median wind]

[vagrant pagoda]

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6AB9-3A71-ED45-3FB3

backback mode is the last thing

[umbral heron]

ayo, it's amazing

[wheat plume]

Mine is still in France ;_;

[vagrant pagoda]

not the french!

[umbral heron]

You on British Isles, and your went to France
Pronin in Germany, and his went to UK

[gusty kiln]

@fickle ore nokia might get to 15

[fickle ore]

yeah, they are doing lots of interesting stuff

Since the Infinera acquisition they have InP fab in Cali

• ofc datacenter optical networking

[gusty kiln]

Thinking about adding more shares

Feel like they got room to grow

[fickle ore]

How much u got rn?

[gusty kiln]

Somewhere in the 600s

[fickle ore]

not bad im like 700 at avg 3.1 €

its enough for me for now

[gusty kiln]

It's like one of the few ai related stocks that's not triple digits

[fickle ore]

check NBIS today btw

and their earnings

[gusty kiln]

Nice

[wheat plume]

Ikr xd

[fickle ore]

lmfao Cohr is over 400 what in the

every InP company

@gusty kiln I suggest reading this finnish forum if you're interested in Nokia, there should be auto translate https://forum.inderes.com/t/nokia-sijoituskohteena-osa-4/73687/754

apparently they won a patent dispute vs Asus/Acer yesterday too regarding HEVC/H.265 use

FRAND price 0.365$ per device

[gusty kiln]

Interesting

[ashen spindle]

License cancer companies like that should not exist

I have no issue putting money into weapons companies but software license is where I draw the line

[sinful quest]

I don't have any context but I can agree

[ashen spindle]

Unironically though the software licenses is the reason why streaming and YouTube is so far behind on technical options

[vagrant pagoda]

rip i broke my local ipv4 routing and cant figure out how XD

[fickle ore]

You mean the 100's of billions of euros spent on R&D and the benefits should be given freely to Asus and Acer?

[ashen spindle]

No you can still profit from making it first and supporting it before anyone else

[fickle ore]

They aren't forbidding them from using HEVC/H.265, they were asking for 0.69$ per device sold, but got 0.365$ per device sold.

[fickle ore]

lol yeah good luck

[ashen spindle]

Why do you think we are still using h264 for almost everything

[fickle ore]

They've won in every country so they have a strong case

[fickle ore]

companies are cheap & lazy?

[ashen spindle]

Because even av1 is getting clogged down by patent trolls wanting to limit it and profit off it when it was explicitly made to be open

[fickle ore]

Nothing good will ever get made if you can't benefit off it tbh

[umbral heron]

[ashen spindle]

But you can benefit off it

[fickle ore]

I'm fine with extra dollar per device and passed cost on consumer

[umbral heron]

That is the most Murican statement I read on this server

[ashen spindle]

You can ask for development costs and profits and all just not a perpetual chokehold over it

[umbral heron]

Software patents should be illegal

[fickle ore]

just realistic, people generally put the effort when there is a reward at the end

[umbral heron]

Sure, if FOSS space didn't exist, I'd agree

[rough patrol]

Let‘s take down the copyright system as a whole

Hate patents hate copyright

[ashen spindle]

Like do you think AV1 was made for free with people not eating while making it?

[rough osprey]

ai generated

[fickle ore]

FWIW

[ashen spindle]

It doesn’t matter if it’s fair and reasonable or not people will disagree there so they inherently have a chokehold that stifles adoption because they value money over innovation

We are starting to get h266 hardware and almost nothing uses h265 still because of licensing

Stuff like twitch is starting to roll out h265 since last year

[fickle ore]

yet every hardware and pc has h265/hevc

[rough osprey]

we should blame linux

[fickle ore]

Netflix, Prime all of them use HEVC/H.265

[ashen spindle]

Yeah since when

[fickle ore]

google it they all use it for 4k content

[ashen spindle]

Oh look a lawsuit of Broadcom against Netflix for the use of h265

[rough osprey]

and yt still on vp9 for most

[umbral heron]

Netflix is moving to AV1 since last year
All new YT videos are AV1 too

[rough osprey]

Yt thing is false

[umbral heron]

Not if you are using a device from this decade

[rough osprey]

iphone 17, apple tv, pc

av1 still rare

[umbral heron]

Exactly, from this decade
Even my piece of junk Android box plays YT videos in AV1

[rough osprey]

it plays it

but yt rarely uses av1

[umbral heron]

I see it on every single video I watch so

[rough osprey]

interesting

[crimson wigeon]

For me it seems to be AV1 for 1080p, higher than that it goes to VP9

[nimble arch]

YouTube provides a video in many different codecs

For the best experience regardless of the device you're watching on

Netflix does this as well

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah

[ashen spindle]

It’s not for the best experience it’s what’s cheaper for them usually lol

So on the same device you can have the same video in like 3 different codecs depending on what resolution you select

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, usually it's always the most efficient codecs to reduce bandwidth

Also less bandwidth means you can stream higher resolutions over shitty connections

So it's kind of at the benefit of both parties

[halcyon moss]

update automation is paying off?

[fair gull]

meanwhile macos chillin

[halcyon moss]

as far as you know 😉

[ashen spindle]

lmk when macos runs on good hardware for a server so its useable xD

[fair gull]

i dont think macos is a good server os

theres prob good reasons they gave up on their server lineup

including osx server and future iterations

[halcyon moss]

I worked for a company once that used osx servers because of transcoding video. That was quite a while ago

[astral haven]

Did apple fix the macos bug where network connections couldn't be established after the Mac was awake for 2^32 ms?

[umbral heron]

sudo echo "0 1 * * 0 systemctl restart systemd-networkd" | tee -a /etc/crontab >/dev/null 2>&1 && systemctl reload cron

[minor citrus]

Wasn't that bug because of exceeding amount of file handles or something like that? That was at least what I was noticing at work when the macOS servers failed after a while

[fair gull]

yes

my macbook is usually on for months on end

[umbral heron]

Et, no idea, our CI/CD M1 Macs are still happily chugging on

[ashen spindle]

just remember to restart your rome processors every 33 months

they hang after 1042 days and 12 hours of uptime

[fair gull]

wasnt there the alternative suggestion to disable cc6 or smth

[minor citrus]

I think with the next mac mini release I'll replace my little NAS machine

[astral haven]

Its a new bug with 26 and it only breaks internet if the internet is being heavily used
If you can make it to the 99 day mark without exhausting your connections in theory it should fix itself?

[minor citrus]

Yeah, Tony definitely doesn't strike me as a guy working on internet things a lot

[astral haven]

32k connections is a lot, and any app that is worth its salt will keep its connection open until it has to close it, as such you only need to worry about if you have a bunch of different devices establishing short lived connections (running a server) or something else...

[pale sigil]

Oh boy

Probably best you don't know

[regal saddle]

Guys can someone vc me I turn my camera on I don’t know how to connext the cables in my pc

I can’t find turorials that show it properly either

[craggy harness]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT36IDSQBX4

[regal saddle]

I can’t find how to link my fans together

Nine of the tutorials I find have the same type of cables as mine

[sullen bear]

Pic of the connectors?

Inb4 molex or smth

[regal saddle]

These are of one of the 2

It has 4 cables

[sullen bear]

Argb connectors and 4 pin power no?

[regal saddle]

No its 4 cables on 1 fan

[sullen bear]

Yeah

[regal saddle]

Yea then

[sullen bear]

Daisy chain rgb fans

[regal saddle]

Yea

How do I connext them?

[sullen bear]

Plug them into your motherboard?

In the argb header and system fan header

[regal saddle]

Yea

But how do I connext them together I don’t get it

[sullen bear]

The fans to eachother?

[regal saddle]

Ya

[sullen bear]

U know the difference between male and female cables?

[regal saddle]

Yes

[sullen bear]

So f1 male > f2 female f2 male > f3 female

And y can put f1 female into ur motherboard

[regal saddle]

This might sound rly stupid but when I link them together do I have to out both into rbg and fan port

[sullen bear]

You link all 4 to all the fans then plug in the female part of the fan into the motherboard

[regal saddle]

I still don’t get it I’m so tarded. Ur saying all 4 cables of one fan should be connected to the other

Sorry ik so dumb

[sullen bear]

No

2 male cables into 2 female cables of the next fan

Cuz u wanna link power into 1 big chain and rgb into 1 big chain

Then you have 2 big chains you can put into your motherboard

[regal saddle]

So then I leave the 2 female cables hanging? Of the fan connected to the other

As in I don’t use them

[sullen bear]

The two females you put into your mobo

Cuz u cant put 2 males into mobo

[regal saddle]

😭

OMG I’m so tarded

[sullen bear]

Its ok

[regal saddle]

Mb so I leave the 2 males hanging then

Or am I wrong again

[sullen bear]

You should have 2 males and 2 females hanging

After connecting all of them

[regal saddle]

What😭

Ik actually so slow

[sullen bear]

https://tenor.com/view/daisy-chain-fans-gif-4074984572502613596

Whoa theres a gif for it

[regal saddle]

Both fans have 4 cables tho

Where do I leave the other 2

[sullen bear]

Yeah so you have two to connect like this

Parallel

[regal saddle]

So I conect rbg and fan cable

M into f

[sullen bear]

👍

[regal saddle]

Then I chaim them both into motherboard

[sullen bear]

👍

[regal saddle]

Bro ik so slow

Wtf am I doing wrong

These 2 go into the motherboard

Then how do I connect it further

These 4 are from the other dan

[craggy harness]

how about connecting these 2? O_o

[regal saddle]

They don’t fit

It’s a 4 pointer and 3 pointer

[craggy harness]

looks more like one of the pins in the female is bent

[regal saddle]

Or am i spedd and is that allowed

No it doesn’t have one the pic is low quality

[craggy harness]

meant this one

looks a lil weird angled vs the 2 left of it

[regal saddle]

Its not there

[craggy harness]

lol

but yea, if that's the only male/female connection you got i'd guess that's the way you're supposed to connect them, otherwise check the guidebook of the case or fans you got there, there's gotta be some information about it

[regal saddle]

Didn’t come with one😭

[craggy harness]

manufacturer homepage should offer one, unless it's some cheap chinese knockoff

[regal saddle]

That’s all I got

[regal saddle]

Yea about that

Fuck it I’ll just put the 4 point on the 3 point and see what happens otherwise its just not possible

[reef patrol]

It'll be fine.

[craggy harness]

worst that should be able to happen would be the fans not working

[regal saddle]

Yea

[reef patrol]

The last pin is for PWM which not all fans have. Doesn't mean you can't plug a three into a four adaptor or port.

[regal saddle]

Which would be a tragic 14 bucks wasted

[regal saddle]

Thank you good sir

[reef patrol]

The cable with the little round metal contacts is an RGB cable.

Always make sure not to plug those into a different header.

[regal saddle]

Ya I knew which one ti pit where on the motherboard I just didn’t know how to connect the 2 fans together

[reef patrol]

[regal saddle]

Since I thought 4 point wasn’t allowed on 3

But appereantly when commexting it’s different

[craggy harness]

but seriously, checked their homepage just for fun and seems like either their webmaster is kinda dumb or they seriously locked up all installation guides behind having an account, since i get 404 errors on literally all of their installation guide pdfs

[regal saddle]

That’s what i got lol

So I just came Here

[reef patrol]

PWM is something that gives your fans a smoother up and down speed.

But it is often saved away on case fans and such.

[regal saddle]

So I got the premium 7 dollar case fans then

Lol

[craggy harness]

next time just buy from a reputable manufacturer to safe yourself the trouble xD

[regal saddle]

Hahaha

I swear fans r the only part I saved on😭

[craggy harness]

[regal saddle]

I didn’t even need them I alr had enough cooling

But rgb=extra fps

So ofc i had to get them

[craggy harness]

pfft, i actually severed all RGB cables in my case, since sadly the case didn't have any RGB controls or on/off switch, only thing that's allowed to shine is my GPU^^

[regal saddle]

Wait actually I might not have those either

Eh if i get sick of it I’ll just dc the rgb no big deal

[craggy harness]

but yea, guess i gotta exchange the fans soon anyway, 2 of them started acting up with some wirring lately

[regal saddle]

Wait actually I think they night have software

Not sure I’ll check when it’s finished

I don’t have the 2x2 power cable is that a problem or will my 9800x3d run fine without it

[reef patrol]

My guy...

Make a thread over in the appropriately named #1019755933959733258 🙂

[reef patrol]

Do you not have two cables that both can split into 2x2?

[gusty kiln]

You don't need that unless you are doing some heavy overclocking

It can run with just the 8 pin

[pastel galleon]

You need at least one 4+4 pin EPS 12V (CPU) connector, you do not need an extra 4 pin or 4+4 pin

9950X3D would run fine with only 1x 4+4 pin EPS 12V

the second one is for heavy OCs

Took them long enough

[lunar elm]

finally the rdna3 users can stop being bullied

[lapis plaza]

Honestly it was terrible PR for amd not supporting previous gpu

[ashen spindle]

radeon software management heads just need to be replaced

[lunar elm]

AMD gpu team set for public execution

[ashen spindle]

no that happened after rnda3 already

[surreal thorn]

Ok good, I'm going for a 9070xt anyway but hated that it would be RDNA4 only

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-slow-reaction-gif-24865416

[thick elk]

Good to have official support now. Sure I could always do "DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1" but wonder how performance differs.

[umbral heron]

Betcha if not for optiscaler and leaked dll they wouldn't give a f

[ashen spindle]

just collecting goodwill before fsr5 which only runs on rdna5

[thick elk]

I personally think it's a matter of pressure and pipeline with rdna3 still being in use for quite some time. Leadership cracked.

[ashen spindle]

now we'd just need to also get them to keep rdna2 in support as well and not just for fsr because in reality thats still the more important thing if looking at the future

[ashen spindle]

also yes its going to be the new 4.1 upscaler not the leaked pre release int8 version so its a good bit better

[thick elk]

What I meantioned is the linux workaround where the instructions are emulated. Which also works on fsr4.1

[ashen spindle]

I thought its still using a 4.0.2 fallback but never looked at it tbf

[thick elk]

Just need the right dll in optiscaler

[bleak merlin]

[crimson wigeon]

Is this a meme that looks terrible

[rough osprey]

oh ye bro ts so much better

[leaden kiln]

it’s not april anymore is it

[gusty kiln]

Lol google implemented the same camera ai bs

Basically fuck the contrast

[lyric hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-meme-enhance-gif-10207712088460034302

[vapid ruin]

Either they mess up or that Sony's marketing is trolling.

[pale sigil]

1070xt when

Or 1170xt

[ashen spindle]

end of next year probably

around ps6/xbox time

[pale sigil]

Might try and get msrp again

If ocuk do the same thing again

Anyway

But I'll probably still be happy with my 3080 haha

[thick elk]

MSRP is just a number, but I doubt they will be cheap in the current climate.

[pale sigil]

Well it wasn't exactly normal then either

I think it was first 100 orders?

[analog sinew]

hey bro i'm ur ai, ahve you tried setting your ISO to shit ?

[leaden kiln]

crank that shit up crazy style

[thick elk]

It really was dependent on where you were but dropped over time. At the very least I would not trust the number when they put it out, just see where the marked floats the prices.

[vagrant pagoda]

wtf would i do with a pallet of usb 3.0 20 port rack mount hubs?

are they just for phone farms?

[gusty kiln]

Ultimate pi clusters

[vagrant pagoda]

i have a pine cluster somewhere

[empty wren]

https://share.google/lbZzP1kWpqPfKPdRo

[gusty kiln]

Not surprising, shit it causing electric bill to rise

[lapis plaza]

Soon they will tell people to not heat their home for these data center

As a lifelong gamer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to push gaming experiences forward across CPUs, GPUs, software, and games.

My team and I have been working hard to evolve @AMD FSR 4 and bring it to more cards.

We power over 1 billion gaming devices worldwide. It’s

▶ Play video

X · May 14, 2026, 12:38 PM

Soo 7000 series gets FSR 4 support

@umbral heron official FSR 4 coming

[umbral heron]

Yee, they folded

I never accused AMD of having competent management

If not for Jim Keller and now AI they'd be in so much tougher spot

[nimble arch]

RDNA2 will be getting FSR4 as well

Albeit at a later date

[vagrant pagoda]

if only rocm wasnt ass

one day

crazy how intel is better than amd, even though intel isnt a player in the hyper market

amd only focuses on hyper clients for ai acceleration, where nvidia dose hyper and consumer, and intel only dose consumer

[gusty kiln]

Definitely better to be a player in one of those market than the other

[ashen spindle]

I mean rocm is still better than intels oneapi lol

for client its still kinda meh in many cases but its much more usable

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah just crazy that intel and nvidia's mid/low range offerings stomp amd in a lot of consomer ai task solely due to support

[ashen spindle]

thats just because amd doesnt care about that segment

they care about margins

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

i guess its good for gamers

[stark iron]

even if they cared it's hard to fight the years of advantage Nvidia had developing CUDA

[ashen spindle]

ehh not really

just need the basics to be good enough and such that people can just use it and better hardware would take care of the rest

[vagrant pagoda]

intel managed to do it by being open, the work with the community to get everything working

[nimble arch]

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

27x on opus 4.7 is insane

love how there is zero info on what a credit gets youi

[umbral heron]

[vagrant pagoda]

the fact 4.6 and 4.7 have the same multi now shows how bad .7 is

[pastel galleon]

@umbral heron what specs for your main rig again?

[umbral heron]

9950X3D, 7900XTX and 96G of RAM

[pastel galleon]

HOLY BABUSHKA

9800X3D, 9070 XT, 96GB DDR5-6000 30-36-36-76

[lapis plaza]

Wtf never say to anyone outside of family you have 96gb of ram

[pastel galleon]

I bought my 2x48GB kit when it was dirt cheap

[pastel galleon]

me and calsy are so cooked 😱

[steady sail]

Im still waiting for the day when Calsy has 192gb ram

[lapis plaza]

You should put the ram in a safe when you leave home

[pastel galleon]

I only have enough room for 2 sticks on the mobo

[sinful quest]

a friend of mine got 128gb of DDR5 before the price went to the moon

[pastel galleon]

sff gang

[umbral heron]

Should've done that before prices went crazy

[steady sail]

I kinda wanna do an SFF build once

Building an AM6 SFF setup would be fire

But than i remember i have to do cable management

So im just gonna stick with Tower cases

[leaden kiln]

my cables were easy because psu cables just happened to fit the case really well

[mortal swallow]

Guys should I get the montech century 2 850w for $90 or the be quiet pure 12 1000w for &90

[steady sail]

I would pick the be quiet one

[surreal thorn]

Do you still perhaps use kagi 👀 I was wondering if it was worth it

definitely not an old message btw

[leaden kiln]

necro

no I do not use it currently but I do think it’s a very nice experience to

but it’s kind of expensive for a single user unless you do the limited 300 searches/mo plan

[surreal thorn]

biggest thing that hurts is sales tax

most worth it is def family

if you want multiple people

ahhhh the vat bro

its 900 a year for family here

but I will just look sometimes

[pale sigil]

Bedside gaming let's gooo (I'm not lazy, I just have to rest a lot because of my condition and my tablet is literally falling to pieces)

Also I would rather not use the laptop long term, I'll consider using my deck.

And this is already a problem with the cats

[sudden imp]

Do you have a controller to go with this? This is a neat idea!

[pale sigil]

Yep

[mortal swallow]

Guys should I get the montech century 2 850w for $90 or the be quiet pure 12 1000w

they are both the same price

[reef patrol]

No clue who Montech are, but be quiet are usually decent.

There's that ongoing PSU tier list somewhere. Not sure if it's still good.

I've ran be quiets platinum PSUs for about a decade. Only a single defect so far, which they replaced for free out of warranty.

Reviewer privileges may have mattered* never asked.

[mortal swallow]

I always find that impossible to go through haha

There is so many now

Im gonna see if I find one with a search feature

[ashen spindle]

just ctrl f to search

[mortal swallow]

they're both a tier

I'm just gonna go with the be quiet one cus it's more watts

same price why not

[pale sigil]

IPS looks ass after getting used to OLED

[sinful quest]

Got OLED for about 1 week and had to send it back because of a defect, now I suffer on one IPS screen not being able to multitask

[sullen bear]

https://psutierlist.org

[pale sigil]

Sounds so painful 🙁

[sullen bear]

Feels way smoother too imo

[sinful quest]

Especially because I got promised I can reorder it for the same price as soon as I get my money back from Amazon.. it ended up being unavailable or at least 80€ more one day before I received my money

[pale sigil]

Yep

[sullen bear]

Who promised you that lol

[sinful quest]

Amazon support

[pale sigil]

You contact them after sale and they'll refund the difference.

I've done that a few times

[sinful quest]

Got told it's not possible 3 times iirc

[pale sigil]

When I returned my black Friday fire stick because they wouldn't replace it, I bought a new one and they refunded the difference

[pale sigil]

Always send transcript of email after chatting

Tell them you were told to return and buy a new one but refund the difference as it was cheaper when I bought it.

[sinful quest]

I will try again tomorrow, don't think I have the chat anymore tho

[reef patrol]

Written guarantees are a binding contract. Remind them of that, and tell them their lack of staff training isn't your responsibility.

You acted according to their instructions, and it is up to them to deal with any mistakes, not you.

[sinful quest]

I will see how it will go tomorrow
And report back

[lunar elm]

the really shit ones I cant stand xd

[mortal swallow]

I hope you know that means nothing lol the amount of times I’ve and other people been promised things have it in writing and it means nothing

“That support agent was misinformed”

“We can’t help you sorry” Amazon don’t care

I remember they told me that if I ordered something I’d get a refund on it once it delivered and I contacted the actual ofa gmail and still nothin they just told me to go fuck myself

[reef patrol]

Then I give them one final chance to fix their mistake before taking them to small claims court.

The mistake is not one they physically cannot rectify. It is a simple pricing mistake on their end.

[iron wave]

New toy.

[iron wave]

I just had a fight with electricians for over a month until ai threatened a lawyer then they actually did something.

[reef patrol]

[iron wave]

Airlines had to honor free tickets promised by LLMs, you just need the right channels and escalations.

[iron wave]

I had contacted one and everything. Good thing I didn't need to use it, cheap asses only gave me a $500 discount though.

[tribal dirge]

Tiny boi!

[iron wave]

Yeah the camera is small.

[vagrant pagoda]

its called small claims

[regal saddle]

No

[empty wren]

Lovely https://home.cern/cerns-kicad-component-library-now-open-source/

[lyric hatch]

Wish the Xperia phones didn't have so many shortcomings

[modern sky]

I wish we had phones that aren't outright disposable

[smoky parrot]

@pale sigil Hey Callum, do you have any recommendations for a 3d printer capable to print artisan vanity keycap prototypes at home?

[umbral heron]

A1 with 0.2 nozzle
Or any resin printer, but it stinks horribly and you need some space for the whole workbench with printing, cleaning, drying, curing, all that
But resin printer will print smooth

[smoky parrot]

I was thinking resin but stinky bad

A1, do you have a link?

[umbral heron]

https://eu.store.bambulab.com/products/a1
I have this one

[smoky parrot]

Does this require a lot of knowledge or is it easy enough to pick up?

I'm the designated printer person in a tiny startup and I'd have to learn

[umbral heron]

A1 is about the easiest to pick up from all printers

[smoky parrot]

Thanks bab

How do you feel about the Flashforge Ad5x?

Is the chamber thing a plus or?

Or A1 vs https://www.3djake.be/nl-BE/bambu-lab/x2d

Price isn't really an issue, we need a good prototype artisan detail machine

https://www.3djake.be/nl-BE/bambu-lab/x2d-combo

I was looking at this combo set

[umbral heron]

Chamber is if you want to print in ABS/ASA, so harder and tougher materials
Without chamber you'll be fine with printing PLA, PETG and TPU, but that's about it, harder materials will warp, curl and unstick from plate

[smoky parrot]

So you'd say my link is the better version of the A1?

The X2D

I'd want to print pretty hard for keycaps

Can't have them snap off on presses

[umbral heron]

A1 is a starter printer, rest of Bambu is about the same in difficulty to use, but has more features
But I think that resin printing would be better for keycaps

[old marlin]

Yea same

[smoky parrot]

I don't have the room for a resin printer, hmm

[old marlin]

ideally you still don't want to print but cast

[smoky parrot]

Hmmm, maybe I would

[umbral heron]

Problem with Bambu is that you are locked to their ecosystem, so no 3rd party software, you have to use Bambu stuff

[smoky parrot]

Ah

[old marlin]

You could make molds with a 3d printer tho

[smoky parrot]

So maybe I should look into the resin ones then

[umbral heron]

I have A1 on old firmware still

[old marlin]

As in, create a positive, make your negative casting mold from that

[smoky parrot]

Yesh, that's true

[old marlin]

Thing with that is that fdm (so non-resin for the most part) has massive layer lines and those transfer over when casting and can get things stuck in the mold

[umbral heron]

Once I'm back home I can print a keycap with 0.2 nozzle and send you photos, you'll see if it looks good to you

[smoky parrot]

Thank you babes

The important bit is the cherry cross stem

Can't have them be too loose or too tight

Though it sounds like resin is the way to go

I could make room for one probably in my backroom

Hmm 🤔

Resin just sounds very daunting

[umbral heron]

Problem with FDM printing is layer lines, as Pronin said
And those lines are kinda weak points too, prints like to break alongside them
So the stem may just snap off

[old marlin]

Yea i hate resin printing as well

[smoky parrot]

https://www.3djake.com/elegoo/saturn-4-ultra

We were eyeing this one

I have a 3k euro budget so I can mess around a lot

I'm just worried about picking up how to work it

[umbral heron]

Elegoo Mars is very popular among people printing figurines and Warhammer https://www.3djake.com/elegoo/mars-5
In the end resin printer is nothing more than platform on a motorized rail and an LCD screen

But for resin you'll need also curing and washing devices https://www.3djake.com/elegoo/mercury-xs-bundle

[smoky parrot]

Thank you!

[reef patrol]

Don't those printers need super good ventilation?

[smoky parrot]

There's a big ass window next to it

That I can just...open

And it's covered by a roof outside the window so it would never like...rain inside or anything

[umbral heron]

Yeah, they stink af, and playing with resin is a whole ordeal with protection and whatnot...
Plus you have to clean printer after each printing session
But results are really good

[smoky parrot]

Yeah

Thanks all
