[raw zephyr]

so much controversy around bambu lab recently, i wouldn't recommend it personally 😅

[umbral heron]

Prusa is now on par when it comes to user-friendliness
But Bambu still wins on price

[raw zephyr]

https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Bambu_Lab_Authorization_Control_System

[umbral heron]

I know, that's why my A1 is still on old firmware and with no access to internet

[rough osprey]

seem to be more enthusiast issues

[umbral heron]

More like breaking the copyright law and GPL license issues

[raw zephyr]

own nothing and be happy something something

[umbral heron]

I was eyeing H2D, but now I think I'll pay a bit more and go for Prusa

[raw zephyr]

geerlingguy did a great video explaining it all

https://youtu.be/eb48MdtNaDQ

[umbral heron]

Yeah, now the only argument for Bambu is price, and even that changes rapidly, as there are even cheaper stuff on market

But 3rd party slicer support should be a must
It's like you buy a new printer and it tells you that you can only print documents from Google Docs on it, because of "sECurItY"

[craggy harness]

seriously, i'd actually sue them over it, either they give me my money back in full or they'll unlock it again, since stuff like that is actually breaking the contract you formed with your purchase

at least for those folks that got one of those printers before that nasty firmware update

[umbral heron]

Breaking the contract with purchase won't really stick in some courts
But violating GPL? Hoo boi
You're going to have hard time finding a lawyer which won't want this case

[sullen bear]

How do you only have 1 cable then

[craggy harness]

most lawyers i know take contract breaches very serious as well, but i might just be lucky then i guess

[cerulean arch]

You aint lucky he was just wrong

Absolute gigachads Blender
They have accepted Anthropic into their partnership program https://www.blender.org/archive/anthropic-joins-the-blender-development-fund-as-corporate-patron/
When Anthropic wanted Blender to integrate AI into the program they went "yeah, nah, thanks for the money though" https://www.blender.org/news/upcoming-blender-development-fund-and-ai-policies/

[crimson wigeon]

They are making a mistake! There will be an AI powered fork coming up and it'll be a lot better, super-turbo-charged by AI!

[halcyon moss]

its not as if anyone could make a plugin

[fair gull]

plugin can be disabled though... integration in core blender now that cant be disabled

[lunar elm]

somehow better than the x870 elites in terms of 5gbe (I believe the elites typically use 2.5gbe)

im looking for a 4 dimmer white board but that does not seem it bruh

[regal saddle]

Idk gng it just didn’t come with the 2x2 cable

I have a fuckton of other cables

[pale sigil]

Pretty easy

I have a p2s which is overkill but it's been a breeze

[surreal thorn]

stop teasing me noctua

this definitely isnt a 1 month old video that i just watched

[raw zephyr]

am i the only one who doesn't like that colorway? i would prefer pure black

[surreal thorn]

for the pump cover?

or the fans

[raw zephyr]

the fans

[surreal thorn]

they have chromax versions

for both the g2s now

i hope the aio releases on time though

[bright briar]

the pure black is clean

wish they made a white variant

[surreal thorn]

i hope the aio has a version with chromax fans, i contacted support but they said they cant say anything

so i dont have to buy them seperately

[raw zephyr]

i'm loyal to arctic p12 fans, i've used them in so many builds either for myself or my buddies

if you buy them in the 5 pack they end up being around 5-6€ per fan which is insane value

[rough osprey]

no one with eyes likes it

[surreal thorn]

I like it 😠

[surreal thorn]

yeah arctics are very good value

[rough osprey]

read my message

[surreal thorn]

i have eyes

[sullen bear]

Does your 2x8 not split into 2x4 & 2x4?

[rough osprey]

how many fingers am i holding up

[surreal thorn]

anywhere from 1-20 if we're counting toes

or 0

[rough osprey]

wrong

[minor marsh]

The g502 is so ahh

[surreal thorn]

i didnt like the color scheme of for example these

but this ones way better imo

[sullen bear]

Why?

[sullen bear]

Yeah i only buy chromax version

[bright briar]

one or two middle fingers

[vagrant pagoda]

See the reason for the color is you shouldnt see them. If you actually want to use the fans properly you should have a low noise case anyway, and the fans shouldnt be visible.

[rough osprey]

low noise case shit

[vagrant pagoda]

source i have a low noise case with low noise fans

[rough osprey]

better high airflow case with low fan speed (and then u get hit by electrical noise gg)

[vagrant pagoda]

my low noise case is high airflow

[surreal thorn]

what case u got

[rough osprey]

impossible....

[vagrant pagoda]

torrent with some custom airflow padded airflow guides

[rough osprey]

do you hear coil whine

[surreal thorn]

nice

[vagrant pagoda]

what coil whine

[surreal thorn]

from like gpu maybe

[rough osprey]

from mobo / gpu

or whatever

[vagrant pagoda]

thats what im saying

why would you allow a device with coil whine into a slient pc?

[rough osprey]

i like having graphics

[surreal thorn]

is coil whine more common on amd cards or is it just common in general

[vagrant pagoda]

you just return the whine one and get one without

they dont all whine

[surreal thorn]

wonder if where im buying from allows that

[rough osprey]

long process

[vagrant pagoda]

i got mine at brick and motar store

wouild take like 20 min from my house to store and back

didnt have that issue though

[surreal thorn]

im buying online

so

i hope i just get lucky

[vagrant pagoda]

youre buying from somewhere that dosent accept returns?

[surreal thorn]

i think they do

let me check

[vagrant pagoda]

wtf would you buy anything from somewhere with no returns

unless its like used in person and you can test it

[surreal thorn]

nah they do

its p popular store so i would be surprised if it didnt

[vagrant pagoda]

if only noctua made thicc 180/200 id have them too

but the dynamic x2 180s move like 2x the amout of air at min rpm as the a20 dose full rip

so i just have it have one spin are min speed, and the second on kicks on when temp gets up

bottom 2 180s do the gpu that i pulled the fans/shroud off of and front to do the mobo and cpu, then out the psu

[surreal thorn]

ok so it depends if the manufacturer thinks its a defect or something

coil whine is common so I dont think it counts unfortunately

[vagrant pagoda]

you can return someting after you buy something for any reason

just say you didnt want it

then buy another

[surreal thorn]

i just wish it didnt exist so it wouldnt be as difficult

[vagrant pagoda]

its not that common

also if you are worreid, a actual sound isolation case can remove almost all of the noise anyway

[surreal thorn]

i have a 3070 and it has no coil whine or atleast i cant hear shit

ok well i can hear a tiny bit, only when up close though

one of my cousins have a 9070xt sapphire and it has p bad coil whine

im getting a 9070xt too so 😬

[vagrant pagoda]

i have 5070ti and 5070 no issuies

[marsh glade]

I have a 9070XT and can't hear any coil whine

[surreal thorn]

I hope the same happens to me mark

[marsh glade]

But I'm old and partially deaf, so milage may vary

[vagrant pagoda]

hahah you beat me to it XD

[marsh glade]

[surreal thorn]

all im waiting for rn is noctua aio

[vagrant pagoda]

but having a quiet setup is important as i use surround sound, so the noise floor in the room is my audio noise floor

dont have the benifit of headphones blocking noise

[ashen spindle]

just put glue on the whining capacitors

[vagrant pagoda]

that acutally works

silcone potting compound works better, but might mess with warrenty

[ashen spindle]

yeah just get something thats not harming the hardware bc it would melt in regular use or so but oftne times it can fix it

[surreal thorn]

I've taken a uhm 1050 ti apart surely I can take a 9070xt apart

[vagrant pagoda]

even if i had whine, the padding in the ducts would kill most of it

[ashen spindle]

some non conductive epoxy

[surreal thorn]

ok so I really shouldn't worry as much for coil whine

from what I'm hearing

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah you need a quiet room and pc

plus be like 12y/o to have good enough hearing

now i have seen gpus with TERRIBLE coil whine, but its rare

[umbral heron]

My GPU gets funny when goes over 300fps

Time to make a script which will render specific amount of fps to play music on coils

[tribal dirge]

Lmaoooooo

[unkempt lake]

i only ever saw coil whine when having 1000+ fps on a loading screen

On my xtx

[vagrant pagoda]

furmark was famous for causing it before the highfps load tricks got nerfed by nvidia

[sullen bear]

They already made that no?

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M6FCaBejSqs

so for now best fh6 experience on pc is coming from using the xbox store lmfao

[crimson wigeon]

Makes sense they'd want people to use their own platform

[rough osprey]

you not gonna have the best experience with an amd gpu

[ashen spindle]

well a 4090 and above might have better average but with precompiled shaders higher average might not be a better experience

who deleted the scam post before I could read it, havent seen this one before smh

[turbid nymph]

Yo guys

is it real that amd is re releasing the 5800x3d??

or it's just a rumor

[ashen spindle]

who knows

but unless its much cheaper its a bad purchase anyway

[rare jewel]

if its not 199 and above 300 its a bad purchase

[fair gull]

i do. i also remember where i store the replacement dlls for making it work till this day offline

[leaden kiln]

installed linux on my computer again

[umbral heron]

Oh, you poor sod

[gusty kiln]

wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being china exclusive

[umbral heron]

It makes sense to release it worldwide given current RAM situation
Easy PR win

OH WAIT, IT'S AMD
I never accused AMD's management of being competent
Let alone they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity
So it may as well be China-exclusive release

[ashen spindle]

why would they go for a pr win at the cost of margins

[umbral heron]

Eh, they can charge for it whatever they want, it will still be cheaper as upgrade than buying AM5 motherboard and DDR5 RAM
Just a question if it's worldwide or Chinese release

[ashen spindle]

not really at some point people could just sell their ddr4 ram and pay a bit more to upgrade to ddr5

while you can get entry am5 cpus for 150, going for any ddr4 chip at this time only makes sense if its a really good deal

or even better a 250k plus for 199€ even with expensive ram is just a better deal unless the on platform upgrade is REALLY cheap

and amd doesnt own the fabs so they dont get to churn it out for cheap in volume

[vagrant pagoda]

unless you already have 64gb

64gb of ddr4 is 200 used, ddr5 is like 2x

[ashen spindle]

well since we are talking about x3d we're mostly talking about gaming

gaming is completely fine with 32gb

so if budget is the issue and you have a lot of old ram, upgrading at the cost of ram capacity is by far the best option

[vagrant pagoda]

even with 32gb you gonna pay a 100+ more to sell your ddr4 and get 5

ram is fucked

[ashen spindle]

well yeah we're not looking for a free ugprade but if it makes sense getting a new platform or upgrading to a 5800x3d

[stark iron]

i keep waiting for the day I can install linux on my pc and actually leave it alone as the primary and only thing i boot

[vagrant pagoda]

im hoping in another month or 2 i can sell my ddr4 eec and but a h200

[ashen spindle]

and if you get a 250k plus for 199 a 5800x3d on aging platform with ddr4 at 300 doesnt make sense

[fair gull]

well

idk if thats necessarily true

youd also have to get a mobo and ram for the 100bucks difference

[ashen spindle]

no because the 250k is better, its not just an equal more modern option

[fair gull]

(this assumes youre already on am4)

[fair gull]

idk the benchmarks ive seen when it came out didnt put it far above the 5800x3d

[ashen spindle]

the more modern the game the bigger the gap vs ddr4 platforms in general and its only going to grow

if you mostly play older games you will have less of a need to upgrade in the first place

[fair gull]

oh no 20fps

what we gonna do

i still dont think its worth it

[ashen spindle]

spending the same amount roughly is not worth it here?

[fair gull]

lol the ram alone costs twice the savings of the scenario you gave

and thats just 16gb

youd still need a mobo

[ashen spindle]

well yeah the point is a new 5800x3d production run would only make sense if the price for the cpu isnt too high

and it makes no sense for amd to sell that at 200

[fair gull]

300 is what i used as you used it as an example

thats 100eur youd save on the cpu alone. ram costs around 200-250 for 16gb ddr5

and the mobo costs another 100 maybe more

at that point you spent 200eur or more on top of the 5800x3d fpr 20fps

[ashen spindle]

nah not if you sell your old one its barely a difference in price for a budget board, definitely not 100 more

[fair gull]

well depends on what the goal is

maybe they had a high end am4 board

this also assumes you can actually sell the old parts for a good price

[ashen spindle]

yeah I'm not assuming best prices but roughly what its worth

but above 300 its just really hard to justify even if you are already on the platform

[vagrant pagoda]

if you cant afford ddr5, you dont notice

[fair gull]

that i can agree on

[ashen spindle]

and it doesnt really make sense for amd to be a charity and just lose money by making that for cheap

[fair gull]

the am4 people can always hope that amd may be gracious so they all agree to let them build datacenters near their homes

and boom 250eur 5800x3d

[ashen spindle]

because honestly if they release it at idk 350, people will think its a great deal and will upgrade when they just get a bad option and dont even know it, dont realize they lose out on faster web rendering and all that

[gusty kiln]

I could see it being the same price as a 5900xt

[ashen spindle]

doubt because packaging for vcache costs extra

[gusty kiln]

but it's 1ccd + vcache vs 2 ccds

[ashen spindle]

put a second silicon to the side costs less than put one on top

[turbid nymph]

of course, if it's 500 like the original release it would be a waste of time

[ashen spindle]

yeah hence its a possibility to get more stock but almost guaranteed to be a bad deal

[turbid nymph]

I know it's just speculation, but I want to know. How likely is it that it will come to Amazon?

Im gambling all on that

cuz i have mi 5600x it would be a nice update

[ashen spindle]

a 5600x is like the next best thing

so most times not really worth it going for that upgrade

[turbid nymph]

In my case would be a huge upgrade

[bright briar]

is it me or phone cases got worse

[empty wren]

My previous phone had one that did nothing for the screen

[empty wren]

So I ditched that altogether on my ThinkPhone

[bright briar]

just feel like there was more options back then

on amazon

[empty wren]

Probably

[bright briar]

and screw otter box

[empty wren]

They also used to be untariffed

[bright briar]

i aint paying $50 for case

[empty wren]

How about mous?

[bright briar]

mous?

[empty wren]

https://www.mous.co/

[bright briar]

i usually get spigen

[empty wren]

I used to as well they are alright

[bright briar]

had ESR case once

[bright briar]

yeah right now i got the clear case for my samsung

[empty wren]

Mous has non Newtonian material

[bright briar]

but i watch to change it

[empty wren]

I have similar material in my shoe soles

[tribal dirge]

theyre decent, never had any of them fall apart or crack after one drop

unlike uhh, otterbox LMAO

[empty wren]

Otter box may as well be framing your phone as a collectable

[bright briar]

what daaa heeeeell

[empty wren]

Damn that is wild

[tribal dirge]

jeez these got a lot more expensive than I thought what

[tribal dirge]

I never tried super thin

only ever used limitless

[bright briar]

seems cheaper on their site

but then $20 usd with shipping probably be like 40-50 cad

yeah spigen like 20-30 cad

[empty wren]

Pick whatever you feel most comfortable with then

Mous does do a lot of marketing as well

[bright briar]

lowkey wish i got the s24 because of their corners s25 corners can be annoying sometimes

but overall still like it over apple

[bright briar]

therea a canadian youtuber who charges like 100 cad for their cases

unbox therapy

aint no one buying that shit

[empty wren]

Lou

And his are made of real armaid

He can charge whatever he wants honestly, I just hope it is a good product. Back of my phone is real armaid, very happy with it over glass personally.

[umbral heron]

3:2 is nice

16:9 still peak

[leaden kiln]

I want that old lg monitor that was almost square

[halcyon moss]

Uh yes

[thick elk]

eh for me either 8:5 or 16:9 ones are fine, just give me enough of them prefer more monitors over ultrawide I think

But please don't be sub 120hz

[ashen spindle]

Yeah 60hz is just an instant no thanks

[umbral heron]

I can print it for you if you want
But will be able to ship it in like 2 weeks

[leaden kiln]

there's plenty of printing services too

[wheat plume]

theres a 3d printer at work but idk if they would print this for me ;-;

Bambu are strange, the printer doesnt function unless a USB drive is plugged into it, even if you are directly sending the print via the network or the Bambu app ...

[halcyon moss]

Just ask, and accept a no

[umbral heron]

Bet they wouldn't mind if you asked and said that you will buy a spool of filament - it's like 8~10€ for a 1kg roll of PLA

[wheat plume]

Im sure the guys in that workshop will print it no bother, but they might be worried about possibly breaking company policy over using work equipment for personal things

[umbral heron]

Every company has those, people in every company break those, and snitches get stitches

[wheat plume]

We are already breaking company policy in our own office by using DECT headsets 😅

Even our manager has one

[umbral heron]

Yeah - company policy is only to look nice at audits and in front of other corporate clients

[wheat plume]

we had an audit recently, we had to hide all our wireless keyboard and mice and those headsets the day before and swap to all wired shit

wired mice suck .-. the cable pulls the mouse cause the mouse itself is so light

[umbral heron]

I use my graphics tablet stand as a bungee, works nice

[ashen spindle]

just use a mouse bungee

thats what these things have been made fro, to not deal with cable pull

[wheat plume]

We also got a bunch of wireless mice for handing out to new fulltime staff, which can connect with dongle or BT, but dongles are banned in our policy so we need to keep the dongles for them when we hand them out and dont mention it to the staff 😅

because dongles can be hacked... or some BS like that ....
So can bluetooth though .-.

[ashen spindle]

okay that sounds like actually just a pain why not just use a mouse bungee if cable drag is the annoyance

[wheat plume]

cause the staff prefer wireless cause when they work from home its a lot more convient

and I agree tbh

[ashen spindle]

well better hope its not a company dealing with important things and doenst get targeted if company policy in the place is just a suggestion lol

[wheat plume]

huh?

oh for audits yeh ... bluetooth is ok though which is why we must take away the dongles

[bright briar]

samsung 8.5 ui update is out

makes it feel like ios

[ashen spindle]

no I mean that just sounds like a company where either nobody cares about security policies, or said policies are out of touch and not needed and should be revised

if we assume they are too broad because nobody would handle data thats relevant enough to be scared of someone intercepting wireless communication, then that should be changed so people dont get in the habit of ignoring policy elsewhere because they are used to not following it

[umbral heron]

Sounds like a company where board gave too much power to cybersec team, and they are power-tripping

[ashen spindle]

well idk if its something financial system related it could make sense

but either its overbearing and making the actual security plans worse, or its needed and not implemented well

[wheat plume]

The wired headsets we currently use cause bsod every single day for random staff
We are testing new wired ones in the office and they seem to fix that issue
They are also cheaper than the other ones

Windows doesn't like the control buttons on the cable ....can't handle it and panics and just BSODs

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/tx6V9_gWA5U

OneUI is still so ugly IMO

[ashen spindle]

wtf cursed heaphones do you use that they cause bsods

that more sounds like the pcs are broken tbh

[wheat plume]

no its the headset causing this issue xd the controls along the cable to change volume and mute the mic are the issues, the BSOD dont happen when we gave them these new headsets to use that do not have any cable controls

[ashen spindle]

how does this prove its not the hardware that cant handle it

windows bsod-ing from perhiperals having normal buttons seems extremely unlikely

[vivid wigeon]

the only thing i can think of is something driver related but most headphones use a standard microsoft driver

or they did some shitty pc "optimization" and the in line controls do an api call or something to a file they deleted

[vivid wigeon]

you can used windbg to find out exactly what caused the bsod and from there it'll be a lot easier to diagnose

[wheat plume]

o installed via winget, would need admin permissions, hmm but maybe worth a shot

[tribal dirge]

ya

[vivid wigeon]

can also get it on the microsoft store app if you can access that instead of winget

but i think you need admin priv to run it

probably

[tribal dirge]

you do

[wheat plume]

the store is blocked on our windows build

[tribal dirge]

makes sense

any smart IT admin would block it lmao

[wheat plume]

well, if you have a store app bundle, you can install that by double clicking the file, those weird msix files

it opens a little tiny app install page and you dont need admin for those

[rough patrol]

Just make sure the water isnt hot (only lukewarm) and you dry them off well before putting them back on

[bright briar]

too late bruv

[empty wren]

Homelander cares if people believe in him these days

[pale sigil]

its a dead email anyway

plex never let me change it lol

i stand corrected

finally

[wispy lintel]

How important is it to have a good size case for the 5080 TUF? Mine barely fits .. can that cause an issue?

[ashen spindle]

as long as the cable isnt squished by the side and bet you'll be fine

maybe it will be a bit louder if the case isnt having good airflow but that should be it if it otherwise fits

[wispy lintel]

I wouldn’t say it’s squished but 85s def pressed against the glass

[ashen spindle]

ehh gotta see for yourself then if you think you're fine or if you'd feel safer since the 12v connector could cause issues if theres stress on the cable and that moves it on the connection

[rain charm]

as long as airflow has somewhere to go it should be fine, tho if ya may wanna get a new case for ya puppy

[ashen spindle]

yea for airflow its fine, you just dont want to put stress on the cable so it ends up causing another fire

[wispy lintel]

Idk what’s been going on but gaming and when I have twitch on my game stutters a lot ( valorant ) and I don’t remember it doing that, I think it started when I switched to a new SSD and replaced the old one( the old /newSSD did not have my windows it’s just for games )

[tulip marlin]

quick question guys i'm planning to switch on linux and is the wootility app comptabile or will i need to use the web versions

[rain charm]

idk honestly, tho the web version def works just fine

[reef patrol]

Did you check the Wootility download page? We support all three systems 😛

[tulip marlin]

kay

[tulip marlin]

ooooh...

you just remind me why i choose wooting

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

Linux support is yet another reason why I stick to Wooting 💜

Once my Steam Controller arrives, I wont even have to boot Windows to get my controller configured and updated too :D

Kinda nice that Bazzite can setup the udev rules and user groups and install Wootility automatically for you 💜
Bazzite is awesome, and it's sister Bluefin is fantastic too

[vivid wigeon]

As long as it fits you're fine. Ideally you'd want some extra room for airflow but as long as you're not directly overheating it's not really an issue

what is a good monitor arm for a 26.5 inch asus monitor?

[vivid wigeon]

Just update drivers to the latest version and disable the anti lag override setting

Haven't had any issues myself

Slight possibility that it's because the new advances shader delivery update from Microsoft

[pastel galleon]

thanks for giving me a solution

yeah again its not me since I'm not having issues

but my irl friend/neighbor is

and I cant think of why

[vivid wigeon]

If it's due to this try this https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/advanced-shader-delivery-expands-public-preview-with-amd/

If enabled you disable it and if disabled you enable it

[gusty kiln]

prob better luck to ask in #🌐│pc_gear

[karmic rock]

👍

[ashen spindle]

doubt it since thats just on the rog ally or the xbxo store version

also not a thing on jedi survivor yet I think

[vivid wigeon]

They added it to rdna 3/3.5/4 with the latest preview update

[ashen spindle]

yes, for the xbox store version of the game

which makes it less likely for people to be using that

[wheat plume]

Aha!

[pastel galleon]

🐧

[wheat plume]

Glad to see more brands support it 😍

[pastel galleon]

Pathfinder only uses web software, but I have been using it with my Framework 16, no issues

[surreal thorn]

gosh frameworks are so cool

[iron wave]

How do you get this SFP+ out?

[wheat plume]

I really really need the Framework 13 Pro laptop 😍

[ashen spindle]

personally I think one needs a good laptop instead

[nimble arch]

The cult of Framework needs to be studied

[surreal thorn]

i dont use laptops but my dream one would definitely be that

[wheat plume]

What about their Desktop?

[surreal thorn]

im just building my own pc rn so

[wheat plume]

Aha

[surreal thorn]

and pricey especially cuz of VAT

[ashen spindle]

it is very ironic how the fw desktop is the least modular thing even less than a regular desktop lol

[pastel galleon]

anyone else have a Framework?

[surreal thorn]

yeah lmao

tbf what could you really do

[pastel galleon]

lwk feels like it was for the purpose of LLMs at thats it

[surreal thorn]

bro i need to learn the terminal on linux

[ashen spindle]

oh absolutely

without llms strix halo would've likely just ended up as a test chip for packaging in like a laptop and some handheld

[surreal thorn]

atp idk if llms mean local or large language models

i think its large

[ashen spindle]

yes

[surreal thorn]

but idk much about ai

well atleast im correct about one thing

[pastel galleon]

yeah ig

[iron wave]

Have you heard about the CEO?

What is this hardware called?

[ashen spindle]

probably one of the ayaneo handheld if I had to guess

or other chinese oem handhelds

[iron wave]

That looks right. :-P

Why is black $50 cheaper?

[ashen spindle]

they are often in limited batches so I assume cost was just different when they made that batch

[surreal thorn]

i see a ton of cachyos glaze is it actually that good

[ashen spindle]

its okay, decent recommendation for people since its not breaking as easily

[surreal thorn]

i want something that uses terminal quite a bit cuz i need to learn it

[ashen spindle]

everything can use the terminal if you want to

[iron wave]

Arch smile.

[ashen spindle]

you can do everything on windows on powershell

[surreal thorn]

true but something that sorta forces it

cause if theres a way to not use terminal for downloading something i probably would do that

[iron wave]

You need a CLI to install Arch and to get a desktop.

[surreal thorn]

im not installing arch yet im not very good at this lmao

i do eventually want to try arch though

once i get good enough

[iron wave]

I mean.

But yeah just about everything will have GUIs.

[ashen spindle]

there is no good os choice that at times randomly forces you to use cli

[iron wave]

I kinda wish this had OCuLink...

[pale sigil]

I hate Linux sometimes

Wayland pisses me off, I got rustdesk working via relay and sunshine but no matter what that won't help me with the login screen

[sinful quest]

Use windows for a day and you will be happy again with linux

[ashen spindle]

*use what you are less familiar with to reaffirm your preconceived opinion of it

[pale sigil]

this is stupid

so much shit just so i can auto login and auto lock the screen because its the only workaround

Im done, until wayland fixes this bullshit

[iron wave]

Windows has legitimately been getting worse for a long time.

[ashen spindle]

and still has things linux cant do and vice versa

[iron wave]

Random drivers are the main things.

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/bs-memes-funny-kid-gif-10302293152269396732

I cant even get kdrp working

[iron wave]

I've been using Windows and Linux for a long time, mostly Linux but enough Windows to see it getting worse...

[pale sigil]

I'm done

[pale sigil]

I heavily and I cannot stress this enough, HEAVILY rely on remote control and Wayland simply does not allow that.

Usually when I need my desktop I

WoL > connect over VNC > login > desktop

This simply is not possible due to Wayland.

I've tried rustdesk and sunshine but sunshine won't work because I need to login first, the only workaround is using autologin which simply is not accessible.

I did read about running a script to auto lock the screen on auto login but that's an absolute bullshit workaround I don't want to do.

Also why can't Microsoft make something like kde connect, it's dope.

[iron wave]

That's something I haven't done too much with, I'm sure there's a way I just don't know it.

[pale sigil]

There simply isn't

I've spent hours upon hours

X11 was the only way but x11 is unusable for me

And outdated

[dreamy oar]

Can i ask about keyboards in this channel? Or is there another one for that

what i find kinda funny is that literally all taiwan folks i know always go on and on about how they're not part of china, yet one of their airlines is called "china airlines"?

[crimson wigeon]

Taiwan, Republic of China. Confusing though when two countries name share like that

[umbral heron]

Communist cosplayers and Real China Island

[reef patrol]

The airline originates from when Taiwan was the exile government of China. So it makes sense in that way.

Before they decided to give up on that dream and be their own nation (very very very oversimplified)

These days new companies will likely use Taiwan or Formosa to stand apart

[modern sky]

emib is something intel has done for a lont time, 99% of these recent posts peopel make comparing it to tsmc make 0 sense lol

Hi, guys, I need your help, I have 3.4 max actuation point (geon raw he), I want to setup hysteresis, 1.4 actuation point + 2 mm to activate rt and 0.1 to deactivate, but regardless of settings when I push button down It always activates, if I up 0.2 mm It deactivates but after if I press to bottom It activates again (but I set 2 mm to activate rt, It have not to be activated) It looks like I have bottom deadzone, but I dont want to use It

[umbral heron]

It was developed by Western Electric, that's why

[halcyon moss]

lol, ok. that explains

[fair gull]

is there even a difference?

i could never tell for example whats different on AMP ones compared to WE

[umbral heron]

They are almost identical, AMP ones are supposedly "high performance" and "heavy duty"
And, obviously, you need a different crimping tools
In the end like 99% of connectors you can find are WE, so

[fair gull]

idk i crimped both amp and WE with the same tool

at least how i see it they both just press the pins into the bare copper

[umbral heron]

You can, all the difference is that you crimp in 2 points instead of 3 (this black bar near contacts)
But AMP insists that you need their tools to crimp properly

[fair gull]

oh i see

[zinc mural]

Is this good it’s for a friends build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6NBfPf

his budget is 5K but he wants a AMD card

oh sorry didn’t mean to respond to u

[ashen spindle]

gaming I assume? get a 9850x3d, liquid cooler if he wants, personally I'd prefer an air cooler, otherwise yeah could get a 5090 instead with that budget but still solid choice and can upgrade next year then

[zinc mural]

Es

he doesn’t want nvidia cards

[gusty kiln]

You can save like $100 on a lower cas latency ram

Since x3d doesn't need super fast low latency ram to get most of the performance benefit

[tribal dirge]

if its strictly for gaming i'd go 9800 or 9850 x3d

[jaunty ivy]

You mean higher latency?

Cas latency doesn't matter on am5 anyway

[gusty kiln]

Yeah higher

[sullen bear]

Why not?

[lavish arch]

is there any video on how to replace switches for the wooting 80 he just bought lekker tikken medium 90 pack

[zinc mural]

Idk

Mb bc of the AI

[gusty kiln]

nvidia would be better at AI for home user

software is still better

unless linux

[ashen spindle]

probably meant as in he doesnt like ai

[gusty kiln]

oh lol

when rdna5?

or udna or whatever

[crimson wigeon]

Not anytime soon

[ashen spindle]

rdna5 and its sometime next year, probably towards the end around to launch together with consoles

https://x.com/DylanOnChips/status/2056369825883042016 also really funny, another project spun out from intel that ended up working better on tis own and gets used with amd lol

Semiconductor News by Dylan Martin (@DylanOnChips)

New feature on Intel spin-off Cornelis Networks. Its CEO, Lisa Spelman, told me that the company's upcoming CN6000 products could see bigger traction because it will be "part of the go-to-market" strategy with AMD for the chip designer's EPYC "Venice" CPU and Instinct MI450 GPUs.

[zinc mural]

that’s what k told him but

Wtvw

[high urchin]

does anyone know how to fix this problem

[sudden imp]

Lowkey wish YT would separate the music and regular YT algorithms

YT music feels good with the algorithm. Wish they’d just tinker it better and add more “topic” songs so albums are in full instead of having to find user uploads.

There’s more they could do to expand YouTube music, making it feel more unique and distinct. In its current state it feels more akin to a reskinned YouTube for music content.

[astral haven]

That's what it is because they were required to spin it up for the record industry

[sudden imp]

what do you mean?

[astral haven]

The story goes
Record industry: "hey Google, give us more money than YouTube makes or we sue you into oblivion"
Google: points to spotify, "how about we pay you the same amount spotify does on any YouTube video that has your song in it"
Record industry: "sure but you gotta detect all our music"

They pretty much had to have everything in the same system because of that

[sudden imp]

That’s silly

Why could the record companies sue YouTube?

Was YTM only made because of this??

[astral haven]

Because there was their music all over youtube

[astral haven]

Yep

[sudden imp]

so.... youthube only charges more because they have YTM when in reality it isn't even a separate product

[astral haven]

You can get YouTube Premium without music, but then you get ads on any video that has a record label song on it.

[sudden imp]

I see

So any “topic” song is essentially a record label one?

[gusty kiln]

wait is this new?

[astral haven]

Somewhat

[sudden imp]

so since YTM is essentially a reskinned YT does that mean google/youtube wont really update/make itwork better over time

[astral haven]

Depends, now that they have the separate sub, if a lot of people buy it, they may invest more

Absolutely incredible showing from sony this gen, photo camera beating all but arri in video

[gusty kiln]

YT and YT music being basically the same is the reason it'll probably never get lossless

even when spotify has it now along with exclusive mode

[astral haven]

Be me, having yt premium and deezer at the same time :/

[gusty kiln]

I'm YT prem and plex self hosting

[tribal dirge]

and thats just an R series camera, imagine what their newer hybrids can do

[sudden imp]

Hoping so because lowkey If I were to pay for premium I’d want a good experience for both

[lyric hatch]

Only 💸

[tribal dirge]

yeah sony cams are expensive

[astral haven]

s series is dead 🙁 but also s series hasnt been a DR monster, s is cool because low light, but it couldnt beat the iv in DR

[astral haven]

compare to the others on that list fam, definetly a value play relatively speaking lel

[lyric hatch]

Does look like a nice camera, but come to be expected with new Sony releases in the alpha series at least

Little out of my price range that one though

[tribal dirge]

true that

[astral haven]

the OG alexa has been the baseline forever (2010!!), a photo camera being the first non arri to beat it is not expected at all
now tbf arri did release the alexa35 years ago, but arri is in another world

[tribal dirge]

Also because there are 3rd parties holding the standard up extremely high like IMAX and Dolby.

Like there are very few cameras that are actually IMAX certified because they have a very high standard for the certification

[astral haven]

yea but its not an instane standard DR wise, just gotta shoot more than 4k, and shoot on an area larger than standard 35mm 16:9
first cam on the list that can do that is the vv and its in 4th, the alexa35 which is industry standard doesnt meet it and its much better than the sony

oh hmm gfx100ii isnt listed even tho eterna is
gonna be some other qualifier to prevent photo cams from qualifying

[minor marsh]

Yall got any good quality black clear keycaps i can put on my 80he thats coming in?

“but claude told me”

[cerulean arch]

Kind of interesting but of course this has been said for every new invention like calculators, computers etc but stats showed we never got dumber, but actually smarter

And recent studies are showing that, for the first time ever, we are getting dumber

Not just young people, but older people in contact with ai too

[umbral heron]

Calculators, computers and such were not inferring based on data like LLMs do
If calculator was doing 2+2 then it was 4 and end of story, same with computers
Meanwhile you can gaslight LLM enough that it will tell you any result you want

[cerulean arch]

Yeah

[modern sky]

Is it strange for me to reject AI?

I only rly use it for translating text

I used to let it write small snippets of code when prototyping but I've noticed it's like a lost puppy even the good ones are at best mediocre

I used to love AI but now idk, it's kind of a big whatever for me

[umbral heron]

I only use Claude when Google is hell-bent on focusing on one keyword and gives me shite results
So basically as a search engine

[distant tapir]

So you don't really reject it then

[stark iron]

although I'm sure I'm probably overgeneralizing, part of me can't help but see AI use in programming as an indicator of lack of competence on the user

[modern sky]

Last time I needed something translated was 6 months ago

[broken island]

i mean depends on what type of ai your talking about

[stark iron]

the reaction of the open source ecosystem to AI commits has largely demonstrated that AI code is of exceptionally poor quality, and so my first internal thought when someone mentions using it is not that they are capable enough to have found a way to make good use of it, but that they aren't competent enough to see why it isn't good

so I just assume they're incompetent if they say it's good

[modern sky]

I think it's has potential to be a good training wheel to consult but if you need to plan out the skeleton of the software and do all the seniors job, tf do we need it for

If its to replace interns and entry level devs, then what it really does is hurt the job market and make the job of seniors more unbearable

[stark iron]

I don't care about that

I care that it's shitty code

preaching morality to people who don't have it is pointless

[modern sky]

A hard truth is most of the time you will be dealing with shitty code beacause some people can't wait and need something implemented now

AI or not, there is not a singular developer that will never encounter something outright diabolical

But it is quite funny to see a thing feed so many style guides write subpar code

[ashen spindle]

if you are bad at coding ai will make bad code if you can code well you will be able to use ai well its simple as that

[modern sky]

AI is great for writing tests

Beacause you can just dump them later they don't matter

And i don't feel like making those yet having a way to test stuff is nice

[ashen spindle]

if you think ai can write good tests then thats the same as saying it can write production ready code

otherwise the tests would be bad

[broken island]

LLM's are good to use as a tool imo

[modern sky]

Personally from my experience trying to code with AI I realised I would rather just co write my stuff x3

That was my main experience from that little experiment, beacause despite knowing so many languages, being built to understand me and somehow knowing how to code it seems to make some odd choices to say the least

[broken island]

would also be best to have specific agents for specific tasks

[halcyon moss]

don't one shot it with vague instructions.
make small changes.

[broken island]

that too

bad prompts is why most people think llm's are trash

[marsh glade]

One of the best uses for LLMs is to do a sentiment analysis on posts, it's extremely good at it and it can be very useful

[modern sky]

That's the thing I wrote out the critical logic and most of the software leaving just functions with todo comments and explanations in doc strings, guiding the robot to do them one by one and it was mostly miss not hit or miss

[halcyon moss]

which model?

[modern sky]

I don't rememer now it was provided with jetbrains I used to have a licence from uni

Decided to give it a try bc someone alleged being able to pass their whole exam with it

[ashen spindle]

if you speak about some age old model yes thats likely not how a current one works anymore..

[marsh glade]

Example of a recent sentiment analysis I had the clanker run

[loud hemlock]

if you give them enough context both claude and codex can spot and fix the edgiest of all edge cases that would take a human days to track down

[modern sky]

Maybe I'm gonna give it a shot again then, I have a cool idea and I wrote the design docs at home I could string the "skeleton" in two evenings

What model should I try?

[halcyon moss]

since november last year or so, they are good enough for most tasks.

and have gotten better fast.

[halcyon moss]

anthropic sonnet/opus, newest chatgpt, composer 2.5

composer is cursor only afaik, based on kimi 2.5. pretty decent so far while significantly cheaper

[loud hemlock]

i find each model likes to be steered differently, but once you figure it out it's really powerful

[modern sky]

I remember friend of mine being able to pull almost entire scripts for fivem from those clankers that's why I gave them a shot

yeah it is 🙂

qwen 3.6 27b is also quite competent if you want something local.

[loud hemlock]

is there any local model worth me putting my 7900xtx to use or is 24gb of vram still too little?

[ashen spindle]

qwen 3.6 has a 21gb model that should work

[halcyon moss]

https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF
any of the q4 ones. probably the biggest one is best

[loud hemlock]

cool i'll play around :)

[halcyon moss]

you can run this in lmstudio to have an openai compatible api or even anthropic compatible api.
most tools work with one of those api formats

or run llama.cpp directly

[loud hemlock]

yeah last i tried i did llama.cpp directly and was uninpressed, but it was ages ago in LLM terms

this time i should put the gpu in my server and have some nicer hosted solution for it

[halcyon moss]

too much help for picking the correct one if you're interested:

[vapid ruin]

waow, that's quite a jump

[coarse venture]

surely this is a late april fools joke

[surreal thorn]

TRIPLE? wtf

[reef patrol]

I just got the mail myself. Seems to be a very late April's fools in that case.

[tribal dirge]

Holy shit

Damn the ram prices really got to them eh?

[gusty kiln]

Lmao i got plex lifetime got $89

Holy shit they are trying to compete with roon

https://roon.app/en/pricing

[pale sigil]

I simply didn't believe it and had to check the link for myself

Wtf

https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/

I got mine for quite cheap holy shit

They probably make less money off lifetime subs tbf

And want to discourage it

[fair gull]

then they shouldnt offer it

they could also always go a lifetime license but limited time support license setup

where you basically then renew support every year or such

[mild pulsar]

Are there USB-A ports in a meta quest 3S

[umbral heron]

[gusty kiln]

Yeah that's the unraid model

[fair gull]

its the sensible lifetime model imo

you want support (or priority support) pay up otherwise figure it out yourself

[pale sigil]

Kinda sick of the jellyfin comments though

It's just not that good, period.

Device support is iffy at best.

[gusty kiln]

My Jellyfin completely bricked the last big update

Emby is a lot more stable

[umbral heron]

[modern sky]

I've noticed my country has stock issues at stores that are quite awful making it so the only high end stuff I can buy would be dated, and for quite a bit

should I order tech from Germany or Netherlands if I want access to a bigger market ?

I remember Netherlands having A LOT of tech and I mean it makes sense they own the biggest port in Europe, on the other hand Germany is Way bigger

[pale sigil]

I love Louis

[loud hemlock]

Dang I got my Plex lifetime for 75 usd

[pale sigil]

I got mine for like $33

Using a VPN

[gusty kiln]

Lmao where did you connect to

[pale sigil]

Can't remember, let me check

[gusty kiln]

The plexamp desktop app hasn't been updated for months now

Enshitification settling in

[pale sigil]

It was actually cheaper

Argentina

Just under $30

Idk if intentional

[loud hemlock]

I don't give a shit if my email is on the screenshot lmao

[pale sigil]

But you left your email

Ok then lol

I was just making sure 😂

[loud hemlock]

But yeah 2018

I haven't actually used Plex in ageees though

[ashen spindle]

too late already signed you up to 37 hot singles in your area trackers

[loud hemlock]

[pale sigil]

My Plex pass is being used for hardware transcoding even though people rarely transcode on my server

So I suppose it's serving 10+ people, definitely got my money's worth

[loud hemlock]

If I was going to use it now I'd probably use jellyfin instead, I hear it's pretty good now

[pale sigil]

It is and isn't

[gusty kiln]

My plex pass is mainly for the plexamp features

[pale sigil]

Device support is still so meh

Gui is meh

That being said Plex fucked up royally with the new overhaul

I love open source but like, design is always second with apps like his.

And you have to rely on people to make client's for it which just sucks for anything other than android, windows and Linux.

[thick elk]

Run jellyfin myself, works fine for a couple at most, only issue is sync play is a bit glitchy and I really should get a better server to reverse proxy. But don't think plex has better sync play either.

Also never used it on anything but android windows and linux. Still would love something with a more reliable sync play option, that's the main use for me.

[gusty kiln]

No prefect solution in the self host space

[pale sigil]

Plex despise multiple issues does just work

Management is easy

Setup is easy, cloud sync is very nice regardless of servers and despite it being a very known and acknowledged issue I haven't had a bad experience with downloads.

[gusty kiln]

I generally agree but the plexamp desktop side is lacking

[pale sigil]

That I have no idea of I'm afraid

I have a bunch of music on my Plex though

[gusty kiln]

The plexamp on desktop is a weird android/mini app

Not a full desktop app

So i mostly use the plex desktop app for exclusive mode listening

Which if fine but doesn't have all the nice features that plexamp has like when I use it on my phone

[wheat plume]

WAIT WTF PLASMA DESKTOP HAS A COOL NEW FULLSCREEN SETUP GUIDE NOW THATS SICK

[pale sigil]

It's a shame Wayland sucks

[wheat plume]

Blame most of that on Nvidia

[umbral heron]

And Gnome

[wheat plume]

Wayland devs cant fully implement shit properly without baking in many janky hacks to get Nvidia GPUs to work with it

[crimson wigeon]

Not novideo's fault this time they can't be bothered implementing remote desktop (that's the complaint, right?) support that works 100% reliably

[pale sigil]

My frustrations aren't with Nvidia

[frigid snow]

75% He recommendations? That sounds good
300€ max budget

[glad scroll]

Don't forget to update the UEFI certificate on systems that use secure boot, guys and gals. It expires in October this year and needs updating then, some does it automatically (via Windows Update) while others need a BIOS update to either update it or enable updating it.

Check under Device Security.
If you don't have a secure boot section, then it is disabled in BIOS.
If it says anything different than below, it is either not updated or is the process of updating.

[sinful quest]

80HE is 2.5% bigger but good

[frigid snow]

"that sounds good"

[sinful quest]

Mod it

[frigid snow]

I'm not a billionaire

Gt-80 is like 150€ for me with shipping + switches, plate, foam whatever 🙏

[sinful quest]

"300€ budget"

[frigid snow]

200€ 80he + gt-80 already tops that

[sinful quest]

Get the plastic case and put some nice sounding switches in it and mod it over time when you have the money (if you want to)

[frigid snow]

The zinc variant is 300 already

Idk might save for the venom TKL atp

[sinful quest]

You asked for a recommendation

[gusty kiln]

I stopped caring about keyboard sound when I realize I'm wearing headphones 99% of the time at my desk

[frigid snow]

Yeah I'm just unsure about the 80he because built really isn't it stock and the PCB is not worth 200bucks

Just hard to justify the price for it when some Chinese 70€ thing Sounds 5 times better

[frigid snow]

I mean it's also feel and stability the lekkers are very shaky

[gusty kiln]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-he-wireless-magnetic-switch-custom-keyboard-concrete-edition

get the concrete 75%

[coarse venture]

Its concrete baby

[frigid snow]

Oh it should still be good for gaming though like latency wise forgot to mention that still a good recommendation

Did anybody here have both the zinc case and the gt-80 case for the 80he and can tell me which one he thinks is better and why?

[sudden imp]

Is it made of real concrete

[balmy vector]

If only

[sullen bear]

But why do you ask in a wooting discord then?

[sullen bear]

Same i have an anc headset so i cant even hear it

[frigid snow]

Because most people in here care about their peripherals more than the avg gamer so I thought someone might know some ball and could help me out

[sullen bear]

Arent there plenty of universal keyboard discords though?

[jaunty wasp]

So i want to buy a wooting keyboard but like good performace but cheap

[gusty kiln]

the case is

[jaunty wasp]

any suggestions?

[sullen bear]

Refurb or 2nd hand wooting

[jaunty wasp]

2handwooting?

[frigid snow]

I did ask around other discord but most Peripheral discord I know have the sameish people and community so I get the same recs

I just tried to get a different opinion yk

[jaunty wasp]

where can i find these? i dont see the website

[frigid snow]

Yeah only 2nd hand even then you have to pay quite a bit

[jaunty wasp]

o

[frigid snow]

Marketplaces or whatever

[sullen bear]

Idk see them for 100€

[jaunty wasp]

ok

[frigid snow]

eBay, Facebook, Kleinanzeigen for Germany

Vinted ig

[sullen bear]

https://wooting.io/outlet

[frigid snow]

Which model?

[sullen bear]

60he

He+ for around 140

Zinc 80he for 170

Modules for sub100 on the 60he+

[frigid snow]

Yeah that's great especially for Minecraft

[sullen bear]

Since when are we talking minecraft 🤔

[sullen bear]

So?

[frigid snow]

The guy asking about the keyboard seems to mainly play Minecraft

[sullen bear]

So?

[sinful quest]

Maybe the person is just on some Minecraft servers

[sullen bear]

Yeah idk how this is relevant i have a friend who is on a million mc discord servers, only plays marvel rivals

[sinful quest]

Zinc 80he for 170? Hmm

[sullen bear]

Yeah seems like its in a good state too

[frigid snow]

I was just saying that a 60he as a assumingly first Hall effect keyboard is more then sufficient for mc and a more up to date model is not necessarily needed then

Looking at his bio and servers we share it's pretty obvious he will probably use that for Minecraft

It was a side note nothing else lmao

[sullen bear]

I always got taught that to assume it makes an ass out of u & me

[sinful quest]

170 what? Cannot see a 80 zinc for 170, it's like 240€/$ if I am not mistaken

[sullen bear]

https://link.marktplaats.nl/m2396391774

[frigid snow]

I'm pretty confident on those assumptions

[sinful quest]

Ohh I thought it's about the outlet store, my bad

[sullen bear]

Cool, i can’t care for them though

[frigid snow]

Good

[sullen bear]

I would pick it up if i didn’t have one already

[craggy oyster]

Buying off site risky as u dont actually own the kb in case something were to happen

[reef patrol]

Oh dear. Gmail redesign

New vs old.

Kind of ironic it is pushed on my personal account, but not my work accound.

[sullen bear]

What? Warranty is transferable

[reef patrol]

Only if the original owner is helpful though.

It's never a guarantee.

[sullen bear]

Yeah but i wouldnt say its a risk as you know beforehand when you are buying it/informing about it etc

[reef patrol]

It's a gamble, but a fairly good one. If you ask ahead of time if they can help with moving ownership, most will likely agree.

[smoky parrot]

The only issue I had with secondhand is explaining what transferring means

[sudden imp]

I don’t hate it actually, maybe if it was like the old one but did the blending of colors it’s be better

High na EUV is really cool, but it's also oddly enough relatively compromised compared to is low NA predecessor.

Can't wait for the bubble to blow with the intensity of an underwater nuke.

Sure we'll see many big companies fall and restructure.

[umbral heron]

We'll see many companies be bailed out*

[fair gull]

eh i dont think necessarily bailed out

i mean why would they even be considered to get bailed out

[umbral heron]

Billionaire friends watching each other's back

[fair gull]

i doubt theyd bail out friends in an industry thats dying to the point the big companies start to fail

[broken island]

alright ill look at those

anyone else steal a mouse from there coding class in middle school because you didnt have one for your cheap hp laptop and hated the touch pad

[steady sail]

Macbooks has the best trackpad in the laptop game

[minor marsh]

its too bad that they are slower then a dying snail

[leaden kiln]

[rain charm]

the AI bubble? hard to say for sure, the technology is an insane bet, sure, but is also advancing very rapidly and who knows what might happen in a couple years

[coarse venture]

snail metric

mine is slower than a snail it doesn’t move by itself
