is the end of the contrac thrye beef it up

zenith sonnet
#

I'd happily pay 1โ‚ฌ more for stable 200 mbit Q.Q

gentle turret
#

the only substantial price rise should be at the end of a new customer contract

#

when the new customer discounts run out

#

that's entirely down to ofcom regulating competition based on how many people are switching providers

zenith sonnet
pale sigil
#

@zenith sonnet im already paying 40 quid

#

but they want me to use a phone

gentle turret
#

I do love how oddly backwards virgins bundles are

#

the most you buy the more you save, you can pay less by just adding something else to the package

pale sigil
#

its because it costs them nothing

gentle turret
#

but if they're reducing your monthly bill by you taking more services then it is costing them

#

because they're getting less from you

pale sigil
#

they aren't reducing it tho

#

i have been with them for like 4-5 years

#

And they clearly dont want me to go away

gentle turret
#

when I say you in that sentence I don't mean you

pale sigil
#

So a little loss is better than all loss

#

oh

zenith sonnet
#

Looks preddy good

gentle turret
#

it's cheaper to buy VIVID350 with a phone line than VIVID350 without

#

you actually pay less for more

pale sigil
#

Oh thats because they expect average person

#

to use the phone

#

which adds up a lot

zenith sonnet
#

Well, I can get my contract without phone for 5 quid less

gentle turret
#

I pay ยฃ50 for 350mbps broadband only

pale sigil
#

We pay line rental here for fiber and no phone

#

i hate it xD

gentle turret
#

then use sipgate for my phone

#

virgin doesn't have line rental

pale sigil
#

it does

#

its just a hidden fee

gentle turret
#

there is no line to rent

pale sigil
#

then why the fuck are we paying so much

gentle turret
#

I think some areas used to have virgin just use openreach for the phone line

#

so there actually was line rental then

#

openreach line rental is pretty extreme these days

#

I think when I left talktalk it was ยฃ20 for line rental

#

paying that much per month to rent a copper line they haven't changed since before I was born seems obscene

zenith sonnet
#

Any comments on that Aorus AD27QD, though? ๐Ÿค”

ornate forge
#

display with rgb on the back. Ugh

toxic jolt
#

@zenith sonnet lots of "tricks" going on in the background

#

the biggest thing is how they claim it's an "IPS" display, but also has 1ms response time

zenith sonnet
#

I never look at that number

#

It's meaningless

toxic jolt
#

I'm told that's not possible. Me and a friend did some digging, and figured out what the deal is

chrome estuary
#

"tactical" monitor

#

i just

#

i mean...

#

I can't

toxic jolt
#

On their page, they describe it like a TN panel, but it's really just an IPS with 5ms response, then they strobe the backlight

zenith sonnet
#

Reaktionszeit
4ms (1ms Moving Picture Response Time)

#

Well, spec says it's 4ms

toxic jolt
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

which would be alright, if it wasn't advertised as 1ms right on the title

zenith sonnet
#

I don't even know what motion picture response time means

#

Is that with blur reduction on or what?

toxic jolt
#

they turn off the backlight while the IPS changes it's pixels

#

so you don't see the transition

zenith sonnet
#

Anyway, in the review it still got excellent scores for display lag and actual response time

toxic jolt
#

the backlight is all it is

#

you can't accurately measure that closely

#

at 144hz, you give or take about 7ms of input lag depending on where the screen is in the refresh

#

best being 0, worst being 7

#

so having an extra 4 in there doesn't really show up

#

granted, I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill

#

still seems really scammy to me

zenith sonnet
#

The 4ms actually means nothing relevant
It's a measure for one single transition
Leaving all others unaccounted for

toxic jolt
#

yup

#

STILL, does that make it okay to straight up cover up what panel you're using

#

or lie about the numbers?

zenith sonnet
#

I dunno where it straight up says 1ms

toxic jolt
#

color-wise, it looks pretty good

#

it does HDR, right?

zenith sonnet
#

HDR400

#

So, meh?

toxic jolt
#

better than most gaming monitors, though

zenith sonnet
#

True

#

My FS2735 doesn't have it

#

But it's 3 years old now

#

Looks better than the Samsung display, tbh

#

I'd like to see a fresh Eizo 144Hz WQHD Freesync display, though
With those additional 3 years of experience built in

#

Although I suspect the next thing we'll see from them is 144Hz 4k Freesync

Black IHS spreaders are so nut even though you don't see them

ashen spindle
#

custom thing or is that a ryzen pro? I know they at least have black IHSs on the ads

#

oh wait nvm its a 3000 series so not offical vvDerp

solar hinge
#

@pale sigil what needed replacing?

karmic grail
#

@ashen spindle it's a fan made pic, in reference to the old "Black edition" amd chips

ashen spindle
#

ah, didn't care about hardware when that was a thing

chrome estuary

I want it

I want it

#

i NEED IT

karmic grail
#

I want it too

#

shelf piece would be nice

chrome estuary
#

i really just want the proc itself but yeah IHS is nice

#

I'll upgrade to probs top or near top of line 3rd gen Ryzen when it's released and sell my 2700x to a friend who's already offered to buy it when that day comes

karmic grail
#

Think I'll skip on 3rd gen since I just got a 2600

#

Maybe wait for 4th gen

crude cipher
#

Yeah I really want to upgrade to 3rd gen from 1st but I just got a new graphics card so I'll probably wait for 4th as well

zenith sonnet
#

I just got new graphics and I'm going for highest clocks third gen ^^

#

Would also be cool if hybrid crossfire became a thing again

#

Or something that uses the iGPU for compute

๐Ÿ˜ก I'm trying to find one for under 30$

pls help

timid chasm
#

I hope ryzen 3000 has noticeable improvement in game performance. If they do I'll probably try and get a 3850x for the hell of it

zenith sonnet
#

I'd be very surprised if it didn't

#

Although I believe there's a few things Microsoft needs to improve as well

karmic grail
#

hope single core performance gets better

zenith sonnet
#

That's almost a given

karmic grail
#

*gets better to the point where it's near Intel performance in games

zenith sonnet
#

Isn't it more or less just about clocks then?

karmic grail
#

Ah ye

#

higher base clocks PLS amd

zenith sonnet
#

Lol, the Radeon VII's went up in price

karmic grail
#

didnt someone in this discord have 1 or 2?

zenith sonnet
#

<

karmic grail
#

ah

#

kek

zenith sonnet
#

Pretty happy with them, actually

karmic grail
#

how are power draws/temps with them

zenith sonnet
#

~65C GPU / 85C junction temps in Time Spy or Fire Strike Stress test
1801 Mhz core (~1780 MHz average), 1200Mhz memory, 960mV core

#

The other card does the same at 930mV core and a good 10C lower

#

iirc

#

Fans left on auto, they go up to 2500 RPM in the worst case

karmic grail
#

that doesnt sound too bad for stock cooling

zenith sonnet
#

It's way better than nearly every review I've seen
Then again, they had to work on buggy drivers
19.2.2 was the first driver that officially supported the card and came out like 3 weeks later

#

19.3.1 I think gave a few more improvements in Wattman, it just works now

karmic grail
#

'it just works'

Lol, I've watched the biggest disappointments of 2018 video on GamersNexus yesterday

I wish i had that, my rx580 sounds like its bout to take off when under ful lload

karmic grail
#

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

fallow bison
#

Spins up to_ 3100_ rpm max

#

Sound absolutely horrible

#

Custom fancurve fixes it mostly, though

karmic grail
#

i have fans on 1200rpm โค

fallow bison
#

Never hits this anymore, though. luckily

zenith sonnet
#

That sounds bad for a 580

fallow bison
#

Nah max it ever hit was before my custom fancurve

#

Something like 3100

#

Still waaay too high

#

Max rn is 2500 or so

@karmic grail 0-10000 range is a bit overkill

Graph limits

fallow bison
#

Bob, you have a 1070, right

karmic grail
#

@fallow bison yes
@zenith sonnet whats the max it should be

fallow bison
#

Thassa nice average for 1070

#

very nice

zenith sonnet
#

I dunno, about as high as it could ever go, rounded up to the next 1000

#

So maybe 2 or 3000

fallow bison
#

I'd set it to 2500 for 1070

karmic grail
#

i changed it to 3000 and it still shows up as 10000

#

:/

fallow bison
#

Just to have a lil more detail than 3k, but more range than 2k

zenith sonnet
#

Did you save?

fallow bison
#

Save and restart prob

#

Restart afterburner that is

zenith sonnet
#

Modify the right graph?

karmic grail
#

yes modified the right graph, save restart didnt work

#

its like forcing itself to 10000

zenith sonnet
#

Uhhh

#

New graphs with 4.6 stable

karmic grail
#

ah fixed it

zenith sonnet
#

Why does it show the card drawing 40W of power in idle? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

karmic grail
#

wait msi afterburner shows you power usage?

zenith sonnet
#

It does

#

Lemme test that

latent mural

it can

#

doesn't always, depends on the card

OC'd tho

latent mural

oof

you might actually get more performance without OC

60-70% more than mine

@latent mural found it tyty

21.5 TB on my 850 PRO (windows updates failed for a year or two, completely thrashing the drive with boot loops and big downloads), luckily it has a 10 year warranty and 600TB writes rating.

#

For mice, anyone have an opinion on glossy vs matte for a skinny-hands not-clammy/not-sweaty guy like me? This video is saying glossy has "a way better grip", and I do like to lift'off. Glossy ugly, even tacky though...

crude cipher
#

I think they're almost certainly exaggerating. Grip is more dependent on materials and mouse shape than surface finish

#

I have a G502 so my thumb is sitting in a rubber well

#

The Model O looks like an intrinsically harder to grab mouse.

#

Just due to profile and materials

warped dove
#

Ah you know I should clarify, he is holding a glossy and a matte mouse in the video. Though his comments may stay be primarily informed by his previously-held opinions. I also notice that he's a pretty large guy.

#

Model O has no build in grip but it does have an informed shape with slight overhang that lets you lightly pinch or claw onto the sides, making it easy to lift.

#

Lack of the shape design is the #1 reason I won't but the Ninox Astrum, though I'd love love the extra side buttons.

karmic grail
#

@haughty condor I preordered from a local AU shop

warped dove
#

Suspiciously, Glossy is $10 more... Which feels like it lends some weight to the idea that glossy is generally better if you don't have the shortcoming of sweating too much. I realise it's probably just an expensive coating process.

ashen spindle
#

Suspiciously, I dont see it on caseking monkaHmm

karmic grail
#

isn't caseking releasing on Monday?

#

Yamatoklok said he preorders on monday

ashen spindle
#

oh idk, dont want it, just wanted to take a look at it

karmic grail
#

I think this move from 502 to ODIN will be hard

#

Weight and shape wise

warped dove
#

That is an extreme contrast... If you really like 502 then it's odd to switch.

latent mural

it's likely one guy and he somehow needs to make a living

#

it's not like he sells one everyday

karmic grail
#

might be a small company similar to wooting

latent mural
#

with a much smaller market though

latent mural
#

@karmic grail preorders for the Model O went live in germany, they will start delivery in may though

fickle ore
#

Don't get the hype for model O. Doesn't do anything Astrum doesn't

latent mural
#

it releases

#

has virgin grade ptfe skates

#

has a more flexible cable

#

seems like it is lighter

#

and the shape and size is pretty close to an fk1, which is extremely good

#

it isn't clearly a better mosue, but it has quite a lot of things going for it

fickle ore
#

astrum will have more flexible cable and same ptfe skates. Probably same weight aswell

#

Astrum is just better allaround but whatever

ornate forge
#

no cable is better than best cable these days

#

logitech has 80g wireless mice (tad expensive tho T_T)

ashen spindle
#

well according to the info I found Astrum will be ~20g heavier

fickle ore
#

75/76/76.5g respectively for the different shapes for Astrum

#

thats around 5g more than Model O, hardly 20g difference. Waiting to see what the real weight for O is, its marketed at 69 we'll see.

ashen spindle
#

oh, read it was 60g for the O, must've misread it or had a bad source

fickle ore
#

Astrum has optical switches/wheel, f/w tuned for low latency, adjustable sensor position, adjustable shells and side buttons. Don't get me wrong not hating on O, just can't wrap my head around the hype

#

I'll drill holes on it and it'll be lighter than the O anyway

ashen spindle
#

better marketing, never heard of the Astrum till now

fickle ore
#

Ahh probably why

#

It'll use the most flexible cable/paracord he can pass the FCC/CE testing with. Hopefully I won't have to paracord it. Finalmouse was able to pass with the phantom cable aswell

ashen spindle
#

ya the phantom cable is really nice, don't even notice there is a cable when I move the mouse

latent mural
#

@fickle ore haven't seen any virgin grade skates on any astrum pictures

#

those are ALWAYS white

fickle ore
#

Cause it doesnt have any skates yet.. But he says on the updates he will use undyed virgin PTFE

latent mural
#

phantom/shoelace cable is pretty nice, but unfortunaltey still far off from paracord

fickle ore
#

also it will delivered also in april or may

latent mural
#

btw, the astrum seems to be quite big

fickle ore
#

Odin O has to pass FCC/CE too you know

latent mural
#

ikj

fickle ore
#

prolly use same cable anyways

latent mural
#

that was just something general

#

should be pretty similar

fickle ore
#

astrum is pretty medium size, has 1cm button overhang

#

which makes that seem tall mouse

#

but in reality isnt

ashen spindle
#

I'm just glad that there are more mice coming that aren't a brick and also not limited like the finalmouse

latent mural
#

Yep

#

My biggest problem with my phantom is how bad the wheel is

fickle ore
#

pretty much, but cba deal with mechanical switches anymore that break in few months or pray that the manufacturer didnt fucked up debounce code

latent mural
#

It feels much worse than zowie and sits so deep that I accidentally click when scrolling

ashen spindle
#

yeah I hear that alot but I have no issues with my wheel rooShrug2

latent mural
#

I legit won't use my phantom just because of that

#

And because I know that the wheel will break sooner or later anyways

ashen spindle
#

maybe I just got lucky and mine has no issue, wouldn't mind that ๐Ÿ˜„

fickle ore
#

returned my phantom

#

feels like 3$mouse

latent mural
#

The model O seems pretty promising currently, let's hope they don't mess up

fickle ore
#

yea looking forward to reviews

#

OEM shape tho

latent mural
#

Seems pretty similar to an fk shape

#

Which is pretty nice imo

fickle ore
#

do you like the WMO shape?

latent mural
#

Haven't had much chance to try it

#

Looks like a solid shape though, although it seems a little flat

fickle ore
#

the FK is based on WMO shape

#

One of the Astrum shapes is WMO shape

#

forgot which

latent mural
#

Well, pretty much any ambi shape is based on the wmo

#

And pretty much any shape is based on the intellimouse

I used to have a G500 and still haven't found a shape that I like as much or more

fickle ore
#

I love the logitech G1 shape which is the Alpha shape

#

same as Ninox Aurora

latent mural
#

alpha shape looks more like a razer copperhead

fickle ore
#

yeah its pretty similar

warped dove
#

Have "optical" switches been seen on any mouse that actually exists?

fickle ore
#

yes

warped dove
#

Good answer. But please can you provide the name of it?

fallow bison
#

Wellll all light tracking mice are optical

fickle ore
#

most bloody mice have optical switches, then some other brands

latent mural
#

oh no

#

not the omen reactor

fickle ore
#

;P

latent mural
#

who thought a metal cable would be a good idea

fickle ore
#

iirc they all use bloody LK switches except the Maxtill one uses optical magnetic switches

latent mural
#

yea

fickle ore
#

would love to hear more about those though

latent mural
#

razter is also very likely to bring out a new mouse with optical switches

fickle ore
#

haha yeah thge HP Omen Reactor has cable weighing more than the mouse lol

latent mural
#

since they already source the bloody lk switches for their huntsman keyboard

fickle ore
#

yeah they brought out their own optical switches for their keyb

latent mural
#

nah

fickle ore
#

Ohh those arent their own?

latent mural
#

they got the one from bloody

fickle ore
#

ahh oke

#

don't really keep tabs on Razer. Their software requires internet so no thx ๐Ÿ˜„

latent mural
#

their mice also require software to remember their dpi

fickle ore
#

Yeah I guess you can save 0.2g weight not including onboard memory. Next level shit for Finalmemers

latent mural
#

you can also save 0.2 cents

fickle ore
#

true builds up

warped dove
#

nagga, please don't drill holes in your astrum

fickle ore
#

whyy

warped dove
#

For one, drilling causes plastic to heat, making a spikey ugly mess. There'll also be an edge where the coating ends where you cut it and it might flake away especially if you touch the holes.

fickle ore
#

Only thing I liked Razer for is their use of Philips Twineye but they couldnt fix Z-axis tracking so joke's on them

warped dove
#

The mouse is supposedly designed to encourage 3d printing your own components. Either try that or buy a part from an artisan/enthusiast.

latent mural
#

but the base shell will still be solid

fickle ore
#

You are right. Hadn't given thought to coating flaking away due to the holes

latent mural
#

just sand it off

fickle ore
#

And I need my glossy shell

#

heh

latent mural
#

wait

#

is the astrum glossy?

fickle ore
#

matte, glossy and rubber

#

pick one

warped dove
#

There are several coating choices. Some limited edition (rubber, iridescent)

fickle ore
#

many colours aswell

latent mural
#

tbh I only care about black

warped dove
#

Honestly though the mod-ability idea is a pipedream. No one has the resources to 3D print good parts with good coatings.

latent mural
#

tbh

#

pretty much the best coating you can get is by sanding

fickle ore
#

glossy dark chrome, matte blue metallic shine, glossy purple metallic shine, matte red metallic, matte green metallic, rubber coating Grey colour, and then basic black matte and basic white matte

latent mural
#

if you have some hard filament it should be fine

latent mural
#

well, not me

fickle ore
#

can still get it

#

hehe

#

I got the purple glossy

#

I can't sand it Yama, gets rid of glossy and glossy has the best grip for me. Literally sticks to my hand. I can lift the mouse without gripping it basically

latent mural
#

I meant for 3d printed parts

#

if you sand them with 400 grid you get a pretty grippy finish

fickle ore
#

ah ye

latent mural
#

and if you really need maximum grip some hockey/baseball tape will do

fickle ore
#

it's kinda shame no sensor mousefeet on O and Astrum

#

One good thing about Astrum is that you can take the mouse apart without taking the mouse feet off, so can tweak alots and change paracord etc without having to apply new feet

latent mural
#

that'S a big plus

#

although corepad will likely ahve replacement feet pretty quick

pale sigil
#

refurbs are covered for warrenty right @reef patrol

reef patrol
#

If they're sold as such, yes.

pale sigil
#

Which im pretty sure sold by amazon directly is this

#

i googled this too

reef patrol
#

Huh... Guess your ass is covered ๐Ÿ˜

pale sigil
#

They claim its not

reef patrol
#

Tell them to read up on EU law, and inform them, that if they don't follow the law in which they operate, you'll contact your national consumer rights organisation and make them hurt.

pale sigil
#

"Whereas the specific nature of second-hand goods makes it generally impossible to replace them; whereas therefore the consumer's right of replacement is generally not available for these goods; whereas for such goods"

#

pretty vague

reef patrol
#

Right of REPLACEMENT, not REFUND.

pale sigil
#

However

fair gull
#

AND SECOND HAND

pale sigil
#

"3. Member States may provide that the expression "consumer goods" does not cover second-hand goods sold at public auction where consumers have the opportunity of attending the sale in person."

fair gull
#

amazon is not an auction u can attend publicly

pale sigil
#

mhmm

#

and its not ebay either, if it was sold by a random person maybe

#

but it was sold directly from a retailer

#

aka amazon

fair gull
#

ya so they have to replace it

reef patrol
#

They're just saying that you shouldn't expect to get a replacement product, and instead should assume to get a refund.

pale sigil
#

Bit concerning if they are like this if the mouse dies in say 6 months ๐Ÿ˜„ then again im covered by amazon for a year.

#

But still...

#

if i get a refund it will just cost me more money to replace

didn't they tell you anything in advance?

reef patrol
karmic grail
#

I knew it was going to be late

#

They said on the website (late march, early April)

#

but didn't expect "April 30th"

solar hinge
#

I'll bet you โ‚ฌ5 that it's going to be delayed further

fair gull
#

@solar hinge its not the wooting two

solar hinge
#

So you want to bet?

chrome estuary
#

Yeah. The twooting is a keyboard. This is a mouse

karmic grail
#

if the g502 wireless gets released before model O ships out

#

ill maybe cancel my model O order and buy wireless g502

latent mural
#

just buy paracord, it's much cheaper

karmic grail
#

If I get paracord I might as well get feet right?

latent mural
#

yep

#

get some from either corepad or hyperglides

#

nah

#

paracord is ~15

#

and feet are around 10

#

with postage you add about 5 to each

#

feet get sent in a letter

#

and my paracord was too

#

I meant you should do that instead of upgrading rom a g502 to a g502 wireless if it coems out

#

since the g502 is so heavy that wireless makes too little of a difference

#

for most mice yes

#

although paracord is stull better

#

the g502 has an extra bad cable though

#

the one on the 502 is worse

#

it's really bad

#

was semi fixed on the hero varaiant

karmic grail
#

is there any shops I could buy those 2 in one shop

#

or do I have to go to two shops

latent mural
#

no

karmic grail
#

๐Ÿค’

latent mural
#

paraflexcables is likely cheaper for aus

#

idk how import is handled in aus

#

since they noticed how much better a good cable is

#

yep

karmic grail
#

$15 ๐Ÿค’

latent mural
#

makes a big difference though

#

not most important

#

but a bad cable can ruin a mouse

#

well

#

if you pay a high price for a product so you can expect it too be good

#

have you heard about griptape though?

#

and for the price of a good bungee I can get 2 cables

karmic grail
#

Hotline feet is 7$

#

on ebay

latent mural
#

hotline is garbage

#

corepad and hyperglides are much better

#

tried them all

karmic grail
#

my GOD what is this font ๐Ÿ˜ท

fickle ore
#

I like default glides better than 3rd party

fallow bison
#

Sweet jezus bob

#

Dont scare me like that ever again

latent mural
#

have you tried rubber stoppers from ikea?

karmic grail
#

@fallow bison I gagged when I saw that font

fallow bison

I threw up

fair gull

the fuck are glides

he means skates

fair gull

the fuck are skates

latent mural

mouse feet

fair gull
#

oh u mean like the rubber feet

karmic grail
#

$20 for 2 sets on ebay

fair gull
#

id rather buy 2 mice for that money

latent mural
#

oof

karmic grail
#

can you actually get good mouse for $20

fickle ore
#

no

fair gull
#

mine costs like 9.90

latent mural
#

logitech m100

fickle ore
#

depends how you measure "good"

fair gull
#

it works great idk why id spend more

#

it does everything like clicking and moving the cursor

latent mural
#

but how good can it move the cursor?

#

does it spin out?

fair gull
#

idk i can 360 with it in 1 drag

latent mural
#

that doesn't say anything about the sensor

fair gull
#

idfk man it works fine for me

#

it got me to global in csgo once

karmic grail
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

fair gull
#

@digital cliff nit a bait my actual mouse

#

i couldnt give less craps about extra buttons etc

latent mural
#

btw

fair gull
#

it works fine and i can replace the switches so ya

latent mural
#

the mouse is 20โ‚ฌ on amazon

#

sold out everywhere else

fair gull
#

i have like 50 of them here for 9,90

latent mural
#

from when?

fair gull
#

this is in my store btw

latent mural
#

10 years ago?

fair gull
#

idk we had hundreds of them

#

like 5years ago

#

mine is like 2years now from when i brought it home

#

works like a treat

karmic grail
#

I'm actually a bit scared taking the g502 apart

latent mural
#

oh I am sur eit works

fair gull
#

before that i had a g100 which failed after 6months

karmic grail
#

Reading about the two small springs that you can lose

latent mural
#

the logitech office mice never seem to break

fair gull
#

or was it g100? idk

#

smthsmth100

latent mural
#

and that is likely a faulty mice

fair gull
#

the only thing id like would be a braded cord

latent mural
#

for what?

#

that is legit the most useless "feature"

karmic grail
fair gull
#

not getting caught on my slide out tray

karmic grail
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

fair gull
#

it catches thw edges

#

of the fucking slide out part

latent mural
#

yea

#

but in the case of the g502 for example it kills the mouse

karmic grail
#

#relatable

fair gull
#

dude my room is too small rn for a normal desk

karmic grail
#

RELATABLE

fair gull
#

moving soon and then hopefully imma have a real desk

latent mural
#

s braided cable won't help then

fickle ore
#

braided cable is retarded invention

fair gull
#

idk the wooting cable didnt catch anything yet

fickle ore
#

adds weight + catches on mousepads

latent mural
#

maybe try to get a used g305 from ebay kleinanzeigen would help?

fickle ore
#

literally useless

karmic grail

fleimi has roasted me about my sliding table

I'll assure you that it won't get any cable stuck anywhere

karmic grail

never

fair gull
#

is that wireless? and it has gaming in the name

latent mural
#

yea

fair gull
#

fuck wireless

latent mural
#

logitech wireless is flawless

fair gull
#

how bout that

latent mural
#

for which reason?

karmic grail
#

Logitech's wireless is pretty good ngl

latent mural
#

has no more input lag than a wired mouse

karmic grail
#

Tried my friends 403 wireless for a week and it was good

fickle ore
#

It has

latent mural
#

and actually uses a decent sensor

fickle ore
#

1-4ms more input lag than wired ;P

fair gull
#

i dont like the fact it needs batteries

latent mural
#

has weeks if not months of battery life

fair gull
#

and then i need to change em in a battle

#

hell ya

#

my current mouse hasnt stopped working once

latent mural
#

but it gets stuck on your table

fair gull
#

only when i slide the tray in and out

#

which i try to avoid rn

#

and only do if i go away for a few days

karmic grail
#

idk I should go through the hassle of waiting on a refund and buy feet+paracord OR just wait for my model O

latent mural
#

wait for the model o

karmic grail
#

@fair gull git gud slide the tray in and out every day

fair gull
#

like on my razer shit board the mouse cable wasnt a problem cause it had usb passthrough

#

so i rolled it up zip tied it and had it on the kbd

#

nothing catching anywhere

karmic grail
#

I slide my tray in and out every day with the g502 cable literally paperclipped to the edge

fickle ore
#

@karmic grail just wait for Model O

karmic grail
#

ya I guess I will

fair gull
#

shit i could actually clip the cable ure right

#

never thought of that

karmic grail
#

bOi

#

ghetto bungee

fair gull
#

@digital cliff na u cant convince someone that doesnt see a reason to spend more than 10bucks on a mouse

latent mural
#

you legit can get a g203 used for 15โ‚ฌ

fair gull
#

give me 1 reason why i should switch from my currently perfectly fine mouse

karmic grail
#

sued for 15โ‚ฌ

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

fair gull
#

like im not a progamer

#

i dont need some 200โ‚ฌ mouse

karmic grail
#

well it is really down to personal opinion

fair gull
#

with titanium sensors and whatnot

latent mural
#

"200โ‚ฌ"

fair gull
#

used

latent mural
#

even new that thing is barely more expensive

#

how does that mount?

#

oh no

karmic grail
#

but

#

glue?!!!??

fair gull
latent mural
#

I'd rather reccomend using tape and a paper clip

karmic grail
#

I'll stick to my paperclip I guess

fair gull
#

21โ‚ฌ without VAT

#

and thats my price as a retailer

karmic grail
#

holy smoll screenshot

fair gull
#

granted its an order of 1 mouse

#

not a lot of 500

latent mural
#

you can get it for under 30 new

#

amazon uk sells them for under 20

fair gull
#

id rather get those

latent mural
#

those are shit though

fair gull
#

thats the current line of office mice

#

they work

latent mural
#

ik

fair gull
#

they click and move the cursor

#

all i need them to do

latent mural
#

and spin out

fair gull
#

the fuck is spin out

latent mural
#

and then the cursor is somewhere on the edge of your screen

#

or you spin 500 times in a shooter

#

nice

fair gull
#

never had that happen in 2 years

karmic grail
#

TIL a mouse can spin out

latent mural
#

if you try to move one of those too fast it happens

fair gull
#

the only game that does it is wow and guess what i tried multiple mice even from friends who have a razer mamba and it does it

latent mural
#

razer mice are also shit

#

the very old ones are fine in comparison to other mice fro mthat era

fair gull
#

so basically u told me "when u try to be a progamer with it it will be shit"

latent mural
#

nah

#

if you try using it while gaming they usually perform pretty bad

#

has nothing to do with "progamer"

fickle ore
#

I need someone to 3d print that for me haha

latent mural
#

tbh

latent mural
#

wow

#

how much are bearings?

karmic grail
#

i need a low profile bungee

fickle ore
#

you can attach that to the monitor like u can see on the page

#

pretty nice

karmic grail
#

yea I remember someone here listing that

latent mural
#

no monitor mounts for me

karmic grail
#

or someone HAS it

fair gull
#

tbh i dont get the spinout never had it happen to me

fickle ore
#

the shape of that rx250 is amazing ill give you that

fair gull
#

the logitech logo on it is also solid and not printed on

#

really like that

latent mural
#

tbh

#

if you manage to rub the logo off you should contact logitech

#

and tehy'll send you a new one

fair gull
#

rly?

#

why

latent mural
#

do it on twitter

fickle ore
#

but the mouse is 125hz and probably malfunctions at over 1m/s speeds

latent mural
#

and they'll do it for publicity

fair gull
#

hm seems like a good plan

#

desolder switches solder in faulty ones and get a new one cause the logo rubbed off

#

i mean i have some logitech ones with rubbed off logos somewhere

#

like 20โ‚ฌ mice or smth

#

that we got back from a lease of a school

chrome estuary
#

I've rubbed the logos off my logitechs before.

it's sdr, there's nothing to differ

the cable should be fine.

but now its not 4:4:4

#

maybe it is the cable?...

crimson wigeon
#

But it's digital it doesn't make sense ๐Ÿค”

latent mural
#

something something bandwidth

#

i've now noticed that the other, much longer high speed hdmi cable drops a few pixels

#

Not sure how it figures out if a cable is 2.0 or not

reef patrol
#

Begins ranting about how there is no such thing as a 2.0 cable, just sjitty cables and good cables with better insulation

latent mural
#

ehem

#

Not sure how it figures out if a cable is 2.0 certified or not

reef patrol
#

Signal strength testing.

#

Ultimately it's the same number of wires.

latent mural
#

would they have that in a monitor/video card?

#

ok i figured it out in the end

reef patrol
latent mural
#

but in some ways im even more confused

#

I need to figure out if hdr is actually on

#

and when

reef patrol
#

Easy to enable - Usually easy to spot in browsers.

#

But if your monitor isn't at least 800HDR it isn't going to be a crazy experience.

latent mural
#

I think it's on, but nvidia control panel says 8 bit, windows display settings say hdr video streaming - yes (if you set it to any limited colour range it will say no) and the tv is reporting a full, not limited colour range and hdr10

#

and the tv is showing me the resolution mode every once and a while, maybe 20 minutes, as if it got reset or unplugged

latent mural
#

what is this mystical full range rgb 10 bit 60hz hdmi 2.0 with small artefacts

zenith sonnet
#

It's not 144Hz, so probably some old artefact from the past?

latent mural
#

i mean at 4k

zenith sonnet
#

4k is meaningless until they hit the celestial numbers

latent mural
#

no u

zenith sonnet
#

Is it possible to show the Afterburner/RTSS OSD on the second display or somewhere else than in the 3D app?

fair gull
#

nope

#

not that id know of

latent mural
#

Trying to check if hdr is working but bfv keeps crashing

#

And now it crashed in the starting menu

latent mural
#

DLSS is interesting in bfv in the snow level. At 4k on this 2070 it has the performance of exactly 78% resolution scaling. But I can't say 78% looks better, I see very obvious sharpening.

#

All while DLSS is clearly interpolating between half framerate, there's a very clear motion blur

#

Y'know DLSS looks like the nvidia edge filter on vegetation in crysis 2 and a vectoriser had a baby

#

Ok I bumped up the sharpness on the tv from nothing to 20% and it without a doubt looks better than 79%,
But the ghosting is still there

fair gull
#

using a tv

I can't enjoy games on a small screen

ashen spindle

oh yeah definitely cheaper lmao

fair gull

and not 144hz and prob has massive input lag cause its a tv

latent mural

14 ms at 4k

#

I can live with that

fair gull
#

oh and did i mention ghosting

latent mural
#

This one proudly has no perceptible

#

Gaming TVs exist

#

Exist

fair gull
#

doubt

latent mural
#

And y know

#

What can run 144 4k at medium settings

#

A ti right now and not in 1 year?

fair gull
#

2 rtx 2080tis overlcoked

latent mural
#

So in other words nothing

ashen spindle
#

depends on the game, csgo would probably do very well

latent mural
#

Heh

fair gull
#

ya literally is game dependant

latent mural
#

Safe to say: nothing

fair gull
#

which is a lie

#

theres more than enough people running rtx sli setups

ashen spindle
#

also the bfgd does have gsynch so it's nice even if its not constantly 144fps

fair gull
#

be it 2080tis or 2080s

#

prob is even freesync compatible

#

plus it has displayport

ashen spindle
#

doubt it, since its a nvidia showproduct

fair gull
#

so u can actually get 4k at 60hz

latent mural
#

Nvlink 2080tis for gaming is for people who need to sort out their priorities

fair gull
#

says the guy playing on a tv

#

lol

latent mural
#

I mostly work on a tv

#

Have to deal with a lot of bitmap guis

So the more relestate the better

I can't imagine running 4k DLSS on low in 2 years on this 2070

fair gull
#

dunno how a tv would make bitmap GUIs better but k

#

weird flex

latent mural
#

Well you won't find out with that attitude

#

I wonder why games omit sharpening on dlss

#

Maybe they can't pluck that out of their post processing pipeline

#

Huh. I can see some kind of interlaced dots on still snow

No random seeds here, that's for sure

Crazy stuff

So I've got this m570. My logo is white no longer. I've used it so much that you can only see where it used to be

when installing arch, do you need to install ethernet drivers?

pale sigil
#

Anyone tried this?

reef patrol
#

Nope. I use dishwash soap and a large rag to clean mine

ashen spindle
#

did that (the video) years ago and it worked fine

chrome estuary
#

@plush summit No.

plush summit
#

ok.....

#

i tried to edit /etc/networks/interfaces and it doesnt exist

chrome estuary
#

okay I've not manually installed Arch for fucking ever. I always used Arch-Anywhere (Now known as Anarchy Linux) but after getting sick and tired of the AUR being heavily depended on, I switched to Ubuntu.

But I'm like 95% sure Arch comes with dhcpcd.

#

.....guess i should odownload the package aand see for myself

#

because i cant ping

#

i dont even have ifconfig command

chrome estuary
#

what the flippity fuck

#

Let's do a barrel roll on this my friend and give me a few minutes because apparently I don't remember anything.

#

yeah dhcpcd is part of the base group which should come on the thing.

#

....

chrome estuary
#

uh... try redownloading the iso?

#

or if you don't feel like installing manually, Antergos is an option.

plush summit
#

interfaces doesnt exist

#

#

ifconfig

chrome estuary
#

#

I uh

#

plush summit
#

chrome estuary

I really wish I could help you. But I have no fucking clue what to say or do.
