[fair gull]

ok its not the gpu then

i can tell u rn ud bsod like shit if its the gpu

[wheat plume]

I just checked the AUR
I found Wootility as an appimage in there!

Is this an offical software or community made?

[latent mural]

well.. according to my-rtx-died-complaints.. that's how it began crashing in game

[fair gull]

the second 2080ti i got for sli crashed my entire system

un til it didnt work anymore

altho this could be more 2080ti related

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/9lcs4u/microsoft_dxr_demos_compiled_for_windows_10/

theres a raytracing demo software

this should also crash if its the tensor cores

[latent mural]

ok ill let it run thanks

[fair gull]

sad that i cant find more raytracing demos

https://discordjs.moe/H🐟OR🐟ET6.png

runs great jebus

why cant all games run at 3k fps

with 6.4GRays

[latent mural]

right... so.. i need like 50 for it to get into boost range

[fair gull]

na tensor cores dont boost

they run at whatever load u give them and the demo just pushes as much as possible

[wheat plume]

watches with intense jealousy from far in the distance with my gtx860m GPU

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/4tX💣-_n2C.png

see 2 cuts in pmuch in half

well its worse than half actually

[latent mural]

it's vsycned for me

[fair gull]

just have it foxused and maximized for max usage

i think it doesnt even have a vync option

@wheat plume u can still run the demos i think

it will just run really shit

[latent mural]

there we go nvidia panel had that enabled

heh i can hear the card coils

which i can identify from the cpu's coils and the psu's coils

well it's not crashing

[fair gull]

is there a bfv demo?

[latent mural]

what's a demo

sounds 2005 and before

oh wat maybe 2007

[fair gull]

i mean as in

graphical demo

almost like a benchmark

[latent mural]

so a benchmark? no

[fair gull]

but more to show off

[latent mural]

well there's that rtx place

dunno where in the game that is

the one with the tram and reflections

[fair gull]

u dont happen to own anthem?

[latent mural]

the only rtx thing i have is bfv

[fair gull]

lemme quickly check smth

3dmark would have a raytracing benchmark

but it costs 2,49

[latent mural]

im not made of money

[fair gull]

which is why i checked

[latent mural]

not anymore i mean, after i RTX ON my wallet

[fair gull]

idk does family sharing include software?

if so i could technically family share it with u

[zenith sonnet]

It does not include 3Dmark

[fair gull]

so it only shares games

[zenith sonnet]

I think, except those requiring 3rd party DRM

[fair gull]

3dmark doesnt need a key or anything tho

[zenith sonnet]

Yeah

I don't think it shares any software

[fair gull]

oh wait i can see the keys

[zenith sonnet]

Waiiit

I was wrong

It does share 3Dmark

I even used it on my wife's PC

[fair gull]

but ya the 3dmark benchmark would def show u whats up since it would load gpu,c pu and tensorcores

[zenith sonnet]

Do they have sales?

Might get the Port Royale on a sale

[fair gull]

dont think so

at least i havent seen one

even then like i said only 2.50

for a really creepy benchmark

[zenith sonnet]

I'm curious on how it runs on the VII

If they enabled support for it yet

[fair gull]

cant even search for it on the results website for 3dmark

[zenith sonnet]

The search was pretty broken last time I tried to use it

[fair gull]

the rx vega 64 is already running kind of ok

people with a vii prob cant afford the benchmark

[zenith sonnet]

Hah

[fair gull]

i mean they couldnt afford a premium gpu already

so its a safe assumption

[latent mural]

port royxale uses dx12 ray trtacing

which only supports RTX cards currently

nevermind

[fair gull]

so how come the vega64 cards ran it

[latent mural]

no, I thought of something stupid

[fair gull]

did u think about me?

[latent mural]

maybe

[fair gull]

uhhh

idk how to react

[zenith sonnet]

It uses Microsoft's ray tracing, with DLSS as optional addon

[latent mural]

tbh

dlss is really stupid

[zenith sonnet]

🤷

[latent mural]

no u

[plush summit]

dlss is dumb

as jay said

dlss? more like wtfss

[pale sigil]

No u

[fallow bison]

Anyone know if there's a download for that cryengine raytracing bench?

Really interested in the non-rtx cards running it

Amd cards, that is

[zenith sonnet]

Uh, I'd try

[ashen spindle]

Not availible yet, they did say it will be a feature on cryengine this year and the demo should be on github before the end of the year

[fallow bison]

Oh jeez rhe year just started

Ok

We'll probably see more results soon anyway

[potent shoal]

real questionm

whats the safest way to remove spacebar

[pale sigil]

Pull it upstairs

As I'm towards join both sides

Then the middle

[latent mural]

?

Still got mine

If you pay for shipping you can have it

[pale sigil]

If I ordered amd gpu, redeemed free game and returns the gpu do you think it will work 🤔

[latent mural]

yes will work

[fallow bison]

It did for me

I got two times two codes now

Smurt*

[latent mural]

I know somebody who activated a code fro ma friend once

it'S ahrder with nvidia since it checks your hardware

idk

it does it over the gf experience

and in that case I think division was bundled with a 1080

and he had a 970

so gf experience wasn't giving him the key

[pale sigil]

Gimme code

Yes they check hardware to activate

Not to carry on using it

[latent mural]

ye

AMD doesn't

[pale sigil]

Girlfriend experience 🤔

Yes it does?

[latent mural]

you get a code from the reseller to use on an AMD activation site, which then gives you a steam/uplay/whatever key

[pale sigil]

But you need to have the hardware installed

Wait do you get it via email?

Wut

[latent mural]

at least that's how it worked for me

yee

[pale sigil]

Back in the olde days you used to just get a code in the box

[latent mural]

I should get my code for my ryzen today

will test on my laptop if it works

[pale sigil]

Im considering doing it

[latent mural]

tbh

for the price of one 570 you get 2 game keys

[pale sigil]

And returning the card

Ye

[latent mural]

you can likely sell it again and safe money

[pale sigil]

According to google a lot of places deduct something stupid like 99 pence lol

[latent mural]

?

[pale sigil]

I'd just return it

[latent mural]

for what?

[pale sigil]

Hard to sell hardware around here

For the code

[latent mural]

ok?

weird

[pale sigil]

When returning an item they usually deduct 0.99

From what I've seen on google

For the code

[latent mural]

wow

rip roccat btw

[pale sigil]

Either way I'm going to contact my local and pretend I'm already returning

[latent mural]

they were bought by turtle beach

[pale sigil]

When they open

Omg

I didn't even think turtle beach were still a thing

[latent mural]

tbh

[reef patrol]

Oh they still sell a ton of console gear

[latent mural]

roccat was at the point where I finally considered gettign one

after that I definetley wait

turtle beach isn't known for good products or quality

[pale sigil]

It annoys me amazon don't have promos on gpus

[fallow bison]

About the amd code - hardware thing: yes, it does check for an eligible amd product when entering your coupon on amdrewards

[pale sigil]

2 gpus and no games 😦

Last free game I got was bf4

[pale sigil]

Ye scan is what I'm going for

Less hassle to deal with

[latent mural]

that is the list of retailers that have the bundle

[pale sigil]

lol I got a defected monitor from ebuyer and paid £10 for next day

Assholes didn't even refund postage

@latent mural you say you get your code? Do you mean after you already got one or?

[latent mural]

I got one in the past

tbh I don't know anymore what my gpu was at that point

[pale sigil]

Oh, you thinking of selling?

[latent mural]

but I redeemed codes for a friend, since I ordered for him

selling what?

[pale sigil]

Division 2

[latent mural]

well

still don't know what exactly to d owith the key

not sure if I want the game now

and keys are still 40+€ at this point

[pale sigil]

😄

I was gonna Russian vpn it but don't want to have a second account

[latent mural]

and with uplay you always have to use a vpn to play

since the keys are region locked and are kept for that region

as far as I know

[pale sigil]

Epic

And no

[zenith sonnet]

I still got two codes for 3 games sitting in my email account

Should redeem them already

Hmm

How much do people pay for them?

[latent mural]

division 2 is still 40+€

dmc 5 is ~34€

RE2 is ~27€

[zenith sonnet]

So, 50€ sounds fair

[latent mural]

50€ is pretty cheap if it's all 3

what I listed were key prices already

[zenith sonnet]

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/share/a99a6da8ebbbd5ff425ab0d01d4cafbe04a770e5-17-03-2019

Fucking Vodafone not fixing shit

Hmm
Maybe I'll try sell them

[pale sigil]

Or sell it to me for £15

XD

Cos you love me

[zenith sonnet]

😒

[pale sigil]

💋

[fair gull]

@zenith sonnet id give u 50 for re2 and dmc5

but am broke af

wish i wouldnt have bought the ubiquiti usg-pro-4

[pale sigil]

There we go, he buys them 2 and I get division 2 🤤😂

[fair gull]

next month i buy em ez

like directly 1.april

[pale sigil]

So whatcha think @zenith sonnet 😂

Can't I'm a pleb student

Literally have £25 in my bank hahahaha

[fair gull]

ok imma pay 80 for all 3 april first

fuck callum hes not getting shit

[pale sigil]

Oh

I get money April 13 lol so I'm not to worried, travel is planned out etc

Most of my money is locked in my savings I'll have you know that I can't access till Dec

Idk if you were serious about the fuck Callum thing, but like, ouch lol

[reef patrol]

😁

[solar hinge]

ahh,this whole conversation makes more sense to me now, that is why Xeanoa asked if i wanted to buy Division 2 for 10 euros

[pale sigil]

Can you crossfire rx 570 in crossfire?

[solar hinge]

you can

[karmic grail]

@latent mural YOU HAVE A WRAITH PRISM?

could you check how much shipping is to aus is ❤

[reef patrol]

(Probably more than the cooler new 😄 )

[fallow bison]

Maybe even amd could send you one

I think shipping from Germany to Aus ain't cheap

For a parcel

From what i can see, in Nl, the cheapest shipping option is shippingABC which is € 41

Not sure on the best option from ger to aus though

Postnl is cheaper here though, so its up to Yamatoklok to find the best option

[latent mural]

that's really expensive

I get international shipping from dhl for 16€

[pale sigil]

@latent mural found my anne pro, i thought hmm the battery i think uses the same batter as my ps4 controller

so im going to try and charge and see if its a usb port issue

[karmic grail]

16euro is 25aud

@fallow bison how to get one from amd if I don't own a 2700x

[latent mural]

don't think that is possible

[karmic grail]

I think I might end up buying yamatos one if I don't find any for under $30

since shipping is cheap (16euro)

[latent mural]

kk

do you know about australian import laws?

since I have to fill in how much it is worth etc

[karmic grail]

usually if it's <$1000aud you don't pay any charges and stuff

[fallow bison]

I don't think it applies to shipping costs but to product costs

[latent mural]

I have to give the stuff I ship some kind of value

[karmic grail]

$40aud

write that down it should be roughly that price in australia

[latent mural]

for china -> germany for example it is free under 21€

above that it can get pretty harsh

[fallow bison]

Indeed, 20% iirc

[latent mural]

• import fees

if you are just above 21€ you can easily pay double

[latent mural]

on the german used market it's usually seen for 20€ and lower

[karmic grail]

I guess you could write down 20€
Not enough sold in Australia to get a rough estimate

Prices are also very unstable for stock coolers

[latent mural]

they are stable here

since nobody really wants them

for 20€ you can almost get an arctic freezer 33

[karmic grail]

Only 3 sold on fleabay

[latent mural]

I can't believe how dead the australian used market is

[karmic grail]

it's horrible

I even looked through FB sales groups and it's all stupid prices

[latent mural]

but why do you want another cooler?

[karmic grail]

I just want the wraith Prism (first time seeing I wanted it)
I really don't have a reason

+arrgeebee

[latent mural]

you have an rgb aio though

[karmic grail]

I'm more a air cooler guy

prefer air-cooled over watercooled

the aio was an impulse buy in HK cause cheap as balls

wait 🤦
I swap out the aio and the RGB fan is out as well since it's linked

[wheat plume]

Isn't that AMD's competition to the gtx 1660ti?

[pale sigil]

idc im not buying to keep

[wheat plume]

Oooh

[pale sigil]

Returning these once i redeem my codes lmfao

i have always wanted to try this.

[wheat plume]

Huh??

[pale sigil]

Well, ive always wondered.

[karmic grail]

The GPU comes with game codes

[pale sigil]

What if i bought a gpu and redeemed the free game and return?

Well now i get to find out.

I asked them what would happen under a fake name

and they said they wont do anything

[karmic grail]

Worth a try I guess

[pale sigil]

Techically the codes hold no value

[wheat plume]

Ooohhhhh

Right xd

[karmic grail]

@latent mural unless I can get my mate that's in Australia to sell me his wraith Prism, he said he'll use it a bit longer and let me know when he sells it

• shipping from aus to aus is way cheaper

[latent mural]

yee

[karmic grail]

I'll let you know if I end up having to buy your one

[pale sigil]

Is it bad im hoping my NAS dies so i can rma and get the newest model?

lol

Also i just realised, there is a bass adjustment on my speakers

for the subwoofer

[karmic grail]

Callum I do have that thought once in a while (rma products to get newer ones)

[pale sigil]

Kinda hoping for my 1070ti to die too, mostly cos they discontinued it lol

I just want everything to die so i can start over :p

Well not my SSD's or HDDs ofc

xD

[latent mural]

I think they have quite a lot of 1070tis still in warehouses waiting to be scrapped someday

they never sell out 100%

[pale sigil]

Jokes aside, honestly this NAS is getting old now.

[latent mural]

rip

get a strong magnet

ez

[pale sigil]

Why would i use a magnet on my NAS, i want the NAS to die not my data xD

[latent mural]

it's very likely that your data dies with it

[pale sigil]

Well not really.

If its just a hardware error why would it.

[latent mural]

do you have some kind of raid?

[pale sigil]

Nope.

[latent mural]

oh

[pale sigil]

I don't have enough precious data to need it.

[latent mural]

I hope you don't have 3 TB HDDs

[pale sigil]

Its used as a backup for media withj downloads

if it dies

i can replace and well re backup my pc

nope

never ever will get 3tb drives

[latent mural]

good

[pale sigil]

Mostly cos odd number but also whyyyyyyy

get 4tbs you spoon

[latent mural]

the 3TB drives die faster

[karmic grail]

"I have enough to go more than 2tb but I don't have enough for 4tb"

[latent mural]

I don't know exactly why but they die a lot

they use multiple platters

[pale sigil]

My NAS is using Toshiba Enterprise

[latent mural]

oh boy

[pale sigil]

Damn HDD prices have come down

Lol i gave away a 2tb wd green

a few years ago

[solar hinge]

euhm, Callum, NAS drives are formatted differently 😃

[pale sigil]

I am aware.

[solar hinge]

you cannot just plug them into a PC (well not from my netgear)

if you plug them into a new nas

they require a wipe to be set up again

[pale sigil]

Again i am aware.

[solar hinge]

so just get rid of the data?

[pale sigil]

No i can copy it over.

the important data

[solar hinge]

after it dies?

[pale sigil]

if the NAS dies i will take the HDDs out and recover as much as i can.

[solar hinge]

well on linux you should be able to just connect it

[pale sigil]

Correcto

[solar hinge]

i've been too lazy to do that with my drive

[wheat plume]

Callum
Your profile photo makes me think she is a cross between Minx and Doxxy on YouTube :p and now I'm thinking of if they had kids that's what they would look like

[open tinsel]

I like that door behind you @wheat plume

[pale sigil]

Well thats not nice @wheat plume :p

[open tinsel]

@pale sigil Why do you have a picture of that demon that was watching me in the kitchen last night cook some toast?

[pale sigil]

Whats more concerning is @wheat plume thinks this looks like Minx or Doxxy, thats just rude :p

[open tinsel]

Meh, I don't know who Minx or Doxxy is xD

[pale sigil]

Nor do i

[wheat plume]

Hmmm
Now you changed it to lady baby :')

[pale sigil]

Don't be silly it was always that :p

[wheat plume]

Pffttt

Sure sure

Yeh silly me

Uh thanks @open tinsel ?? :P

[open tinsel]

Your welcome, I like doors

[wheat plume]

Weird foex but ok

[open tinsel]

flex? xD

[wheat plume]

Flex**

[pale sigil]

#💬│general

[wheat plume]

Shh

[pale sigil]

Just realised this was tech talk

[open tinsel]

Sorreh

So did I tbh haha

[timid chasm]

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/mmcaps-hippo-resin-artisan-keycap

oh baby oh baby

[wheat plume]

just learned that PayPal used to run on Java

my gosh 😮

[wheat plume]

Spotify?

[plush summit]

lol no

thats dumb

[pale sigil]

Thats dirt cheap

15 quid

[latent mural]

for what?

[wheat plume]

Premium what tho? youtube? google play music?

[pale sigil]

If you get spotify premium family

15 quid

you get a google home mini

[wheat plume]

O.O

my friend has one of those, they do sound very good

[latent mural]

whyt do you need spotify premium family for?

normal spotify premium is much cheaper, especially for students

[pale sigil]

the point is

cheap google home mini

[latent mural]

for things your phone can do?

[wheat plume]

my phone isnt a very good bluetooth speaker! it isnt even a good speaker!

[pale sigil]

i can resell it

But i love my alexa so much

[wheat plume]

cant you play skyrim on Alexa?

[pale sigil]

yes

[wheat plume]

😛

thats so cool

[pale sigil]

Dats a nice price

[latent mural]

waht's the price of a unit alone?

[wheat plume]

50

pounds

[latent mural]

used?

[wheat plume]

no clue

[latent mural]

and googles pricing is not necessarily the poricing of other retailers

[wheat plume]

So when you take the family premium offer
It gives you a discount code to type into the google website to get the mini for free or does it take you to that page and auto apply the discount?

[latent mural]

oh

in that case nevermind

[wheat plume]

idk what lead to the above screenshot

is that the spotify or google website?

[latent mural]

looks like it

[wheat plume]

look google

[latent mural]

looks like google

[wheat plume]

looks*

yeh

so I guess you get redirected to it? who knows

[latent mural]

apparently every spotrify family subscriber in the UK can get one for free

[wheat plume]

I guess google are pushing for sales of their minis in the UK and spotify as always wants premium members

[latent mural]

they did it before in the us

I think they just want people to start using google home

[wheat plume]

I swear, every ad you get in free spotify in Ireland, it sounds like the people speaking are down with a terrible cold

it is sooo bad

[pale sigil]

brand new

from google store

[wheat plume]

well yeh its from the google site!

[pale sigil]

Its a promo for spotify atm

its only costing me 3.75 pounds

lol

[wheat plume]

they are more expensive to buy them in ireland :/ they are 65 euro here

I hate ireland

[pale sigil]

We hate you too.

[wheat plume]

Thanks

I appreciate it

[solar hinge]

don't worry, you get to stay in the EU

soon they'll be paying 100

[pale sigil]

Depends

Northern Island or Southern

[wheat plume]

south

[pale sigil]

Ah you're fine then.

[solar hinge]

she said euros so i presumed so

[open tinsel]

So do UK for a while

[solar hinge]

or does southern ireland have the euro as well?

[pale sigil]

Referring to after if we do leave

[latent mural]

well, if the UK stays in the EU it won't be cheap

[pale sigil]

Southern is not part of the UK

Northern island is

Staying in the EU wont cost us anything.

[wheat plume]

if they leave itll suck for the border

[pale sigil]

Only if we leave and rejoin.

[wheat plume]

we wont have free crossing

[open tinsel]

My fucking arse hurts from the gym lol

[wheat plume]

ok then??!! XD

[latent mural]

at this point it won't be cheap

[pale sigil]

Ye you guys are the reason we are in a shit show :p

[latent mural]

we are?

[pale sigil]

As in Southern Island

[latent mural]

because you voted for it?

[wheat plume]

Nah, southern irelanders

[latent mural]

ahh

[wheat plume]

It is true tho....the precious border

[latent mural]

maybe you should've given them their potatos all those years ago

[wheat plume]

Actually it is the UK's fault for causing the border!!

[pale sigil]

no u

[wheat plume]

so many years ago!

nu u

[solar hinge]

BURN THE ISLANDS DOWN

wait wut

[wheat plume]

we should just get rid of ireland all together :/ It is so expensive here for anything and import fees are 25%

the country that survives on drama and irish beef

[open tinsel]

We could blame south england since they are always fucking shit up for everyone else xD

[wheat plume]

🤔

[solar hinge]

that's cool, normally we just blame Tino for everything

it's because we love him though

[open tinsel]

I remember when Callum thought about voting UKIP years ago

XD

[wheat plume]

I found an MIUI user in this random website woot woot

[latent mural]

?

[solar hinge]

i use miui :p

[wheat plume]

Oo? What phone you got?

[solar hinge]

i have it on my mi 5

[wheat plume]

Ahhhh nice!!

[solar hinge]

i'm waiting for the mi mix to have the fingerprint reader in the screen

and then i'm upgrading

don't want fingerprint readers on the back of my phone

[wheat plume]

I'm running the global beta on my mix 2S

[latent mural]

tbh I was surpirsed the mi mix 3 has it on the back

would've been a buy from me if it was in the screen

[wheat plume]

Yeh....same
I still really want that phone 🤤 so sexy

[solar hinge]

i was super annoyed that it was on the back

i got the mi 5 when it came out

and i want an upgrade

[wheat plume]

It's just faster on the back

[solar hinge]

it's not faster on the back

[wheat plume]

The Mi 9 has it in the screen btw

[solar hinge]

i know

but i want slidey slidey

[latent mural]

I thinkl the one on the s10 is faster in the front

I want more screen/body ratio

[wheat plume]

My scanner is instant

[latent mural]

"instant"

which phone do you have

[wheat plume]

Mi Mix 2S

[latent mural]

it'll still be a little delayed on any phone

[wheat plume]

It was just as fast on my note 5 pro

[solar hinge]

on the mi mix 5 it's also instant

[latent mural]

the note 5 pro is from a budget line

[wheat plume]

Yeh but it's so fast

[solar hinge]

definitely felt faster than my wife's iphone 6s

[wheat plume]

Duh!

4gb ram and an SD 636 will beat an iPhone 6s

[solar hinge]

no i meant the FP reader :p

just that part :p^

[wheat plume]

There is no mi mix 5...

[latent mural]

the one on my galaxy s8 is infinitley faster than the one on an iphone Xs

[solar hinge]

i meant mi 5 pro :p

[wheat plume]

Xd

[solar hinge]

i just want a mi mix :p

[wheat plume]

Same

I'm conflicted
I really want stock Android but I also want to have all the extra features of MIUI

[solar hinge]

some of the extras are magnificent

[latent mural]

why do you want stock android then?

[solar hinge]

and then there is stuff like "who the fuck made this"

[wheat plume]

Cause it's sexy xd

[latent mural]

oof

tbh

[wheat plume]

But MIUI had much better features

[latent mural]

I use nova launcher for quite a while now

so idk what the new samsung software looks like

only thing I know is that they moved the clock to the left

[wheat plume]

Samsung One UI + good Lock = custom rom + root access levels of customisation

It's insane

https://youtu.be/18DwNQSGwPY

[latent mural]

problem is

with rooting I lose access to google pay

and netflix

[wheat plume]

Ohhh rlly :/

[latent mural]

yep

[wheat plume]

Also Snapchat block access too as they think the only reason to root your device is to hack into Snapchat

[latent mural]

lol

don't use that so idk

but since google pay is one of the sole reasons for my phone to exist it'S important

[wheat plume]

Oo

My gosh

In Ireland people barely know what a credit card is not to trying to use your phone to pay for things

[latent mural]

lol

You can use it in almost every supermarket by now

thanks to contactless payment via card

and google pay is much safer

[wheat plume]

So if you have Google pay installed
You can just tap your phone?
Do you have to open the app or not?

[latent mural]

since with contactless pay cards anybody can take up to 25€ from you

you have to open it

and have nfc on

[wheat plume]

Ah mmkay

[latent mural]

only some banks supported it at the start

but it supports paypal now

[wheat plume]

A lot of large stores here only support Apple pay

[latent mural]

for every payment you ahve a different digital credit card so it can't get tracked by stores

google pay doesn't need specific support

[wheat plume]

Oo

[latent mural]

you only need support for contactless payment

[wheat plume]

Ah ok

[solar hinge]

here the banks just made their own apps so that you can do the wireless payment stuff with your phone

[latent mural]

the card terminals usually have a logo on them

[latent mural]

looks like this

[pale sigil]

I adore MIUI so much

i used it on my HTC Sensation lol

[wheat plume]

Ooo

How does it work on that??

[pale sigil]

MIUI is old yanno

[wheat plume]

I'm on the newest version

[pale sigil]

its 8 years old.

MIUI in general

[wheat plume]

True

[latent mural]

wasn't the sensation the first smartphone with a 720p screen?

[pale sigil]

I think so

[latent mural]

which ran horrible thanks to that?

[pale sigil]

i loved that phone so much

[wheat plume]

I had a htc desire before

I hated it :/ the software was laggy and looked like a re skinned Android 3

I think it was a desire 630

Idek

[latent mural]

I had an s3 mini

ran horribly thanks to touchwiz

[wheat plume]

Yeh..

Isn't that the one with the yellow and blue notification panel?

[latent mural]

?

touchwiz was used for almost all samsung devices until very recently

[wheat plume]

My friend had a j5 and the UI looks so bad
The quick toggle are yellow on a blue background

Looks like a kindergartner made it

[latent mural]

?

ok

[wheat plume]

My other friend decided not to switch to Android when she found out it doesn't have native screen recording ....

I'm so mad at her

She about to order a pixel 3 and she seemed so happy to get rid of apple

[pale sigil]

look at that bad boy

of a UI

[wheat plume]

Hmm
That early 90's glory

Looks like something made from Java

[solar hinge]

i've got my mi 5 pro and a Redmi note 4x

[wheat plume]

oo the same phone my cousin has

the 4x

[pale sigil]

Would you belive this was taken on a HTC Sensation?

[wheat plume]

oo

wow

[pale sigil]

Well you'd be wrong cos it was my camera

just wanted to share it lmao

[wheat plume]

This is the best extension I have ever used
It basically takes the sidebar of the file manager and makes it easily accesible in the panel at any time

and it has all the bookmarks too for the hidden folders

[pale sigil]

Shit

i didn't backup my old fbook account

[ashen spindle]

wow macos finally getting windows features?

[pale sigil]

So much history

gone

[wheat plume]

shudders at the word FB

This aint MacOS!

it looks nothing like it 😛

[ashen spindle]

o looked like it

[pale sigil]

it does now

What distro

[wheat plume]

not really? macOS has a global menu and this doesnt

this is Manjaro Gnome edition

People have tried to make a reliable global menu for gnome desktop and failed

[solar hinge]

@wheat plume have you had to do a factory reset on your xioami phone before?

mine is getting slow and shitty

[wheat plume]

I did one before because I wanted to, not because I had to

[solar hinge]

i think there are some apps or their leftovers fucking it up 😛

and with all the big updates it's had

it might be better

[wheat plume]

cant you deep clean them from the file manager?

I find that a very nice feature

or look to see if there is a zip file in downloaded_roms

thats where MIUI puts the newest update

[solar hinge]

it's mostly that the phone gets quite warm and the battery drains faster than it should

[wheat plume]

oh....run security scan :/

I had that happen when I installed an apk before

[solar hinge]

i've done that :p

[wheat plume]

deep cleaning removed the app and files

[solar hinge]

doesn't seem to be any issues

[wheat plume]

apk*

hmm

[solar hinge]

but what does the deep cleaning actually do?

[wheat plume]

it looks at cache and uninstalled program files

I already ran it before so there isn't much here

[pale sigil]

Ive lost everything

9 years

[wheat plume]

;-;

[pale sigil]

of everything i have ever done.

And my account is deleted

[wheat plume]

fb doesnt delete accounts

[pale sigil]

it does now

[wheat plume]

I mamaged to find the one I thought was deleted last month

[pale sigil]

you can manually perm adelete rather deactivate

[wheat plume]

I did that and it still showed up when I tried to make a messenger account

I made a messenger account without wanting an FB accoutn but it managed to find the one I told them to delete

[pale sigil]

Hmm

and you gained access to your old account?

[wheat plume]

it askled me if this account was mine but I said no

but it was mine

and I told them to delete it

[pale sigil]

sure it wasn't a case of deactivating

[wheat plume]

Positive

I deactivated then deleted

[pale sigil]

Ah well

it didn't work

[wheat plume]

I found a nice script that can auto pause your music when you lock your PC 😄

now I just need to make a .desktop file for it so I can make it run on bootup

[pale sigil]

Christ

this is depressing

[wheat plume]

mm :/

[pale sigil]

this is just depressing

[wheat plume]

;-;

[pale sigil]

i found one of my precious phots

so im somewhat happy

[solar hinge]

then why did you delete your account in the first place.?

[latent mural]

I realy hate myself right now

[solar hinge]

you need one of these

you don't have enough RGB

[wheat plume]

Windows cant detect my speakers
it detected once and then never again

so I cant change the lights in the software

well, the razer software cant detect them

windows can

GSM Connect is great

[solar hinge]

which speakers?

and are they bluetooth?

[wheat plume]

Nommo Chroma

[solar hinge]

ah no, these are the plug in ones right?

[wheat plume]

it found them the first time I plugged them in
Then it installed the software and I wasd able to change the lights but then after that the software no longer saw them

yeh..usb powered

[solar hinge]

then i don't have an idea :p

[wheat plume]

openrazer on Linux cant see them either

but it doesnt say they are supported on the opanrazer website so I am not suprised

[zenith sonnet]

Uninstall the drivers, connect them again? @wheat plume

[wheat plume]

I alreaday had issues getting my headphones to work when I plug them in
I do not want to mess with drivers 😮

windows hates my earphones

I have Linux on the same hard drive and they work fine

[solar hinge]

nah, this a standard if you have razer products

part of the experience

[wheat plume]

my earphones arent razer

[zenith sonnet]

Windows automatically installs the drivers it pulls from the device when you connect it the first time
Thing can go weird with USB

[pale sigil]

What distro

[wheat plume]

I have Manjaro Gnome and Windows 10 on this PC

Windows 10 has issues with my earphones and Manjaro is fine with them

and chrome studio cant find my razer speakers

it is so strange

oh well, I plan to nuke windows later anyway

I only have it so that I can run visual studio because a lecturer refuses to let us use anything else :/

[solar hinge]

because he knows better i guess

[wheat plume]

she also wont let us use anyrthing other than oracle sql developer despite more than 3/4 of the class not being able to get it installed on their own laptops

[pale sigil]

Anyone have a rx 570 or 580

[ashen spindle]

3 hours until we maybe get info on the next nvidia architecture

[fallow bison]

I have an rx 580 @pale sigil

[pale sigil]

@fallow bison can you redeem my codes for me?

[fallow bison]

I guess so yeah

Hmu in dm

[pale sigil]

You OK if we can TV etc atm?

[fallow bison]

TV?

TeamViewer?

[pale sigil]

teamview

[fallow bison]

Sure ill install

[pale sigil]

Ill be in general chit chat

[fallow bison]

Ill be there in a bit

[pale sigil]

Ok, no rush.

[solar hinge]

@wheat plume it seems they are expanding into Europe more :)

[zenith sonnet]

Germany needs to decide whether or not they allow Huawei to invest into the 5G network

Because Trump

[wheat plume]

I hate him

Causing so many people to throw shit at Huawei for no reason

[plush summit]

well.....

[solar hinge]

there are valid reasons for it

[plush summit]

yeah

[solar hinge]

huawei is and will always be a state owned company

[plush summit]

i dont trust them

[solar hinge]

in chinese law, they are required to cooperate with the government to any question they ask

even if it wasn't in the law, they would still do it. as the CCP has a way of killing off people that don't help

[reef patrol]

Taiwan will be an interesting battleground at some point.

anyone wants to guess what Jensen will present on his talk at gtc in 5 minutes? RTX deluxe?

[fair gull]

[chrome estuary]

i fucking forgot the gameboy had Gameboy Video.. One of which was Shrek & Shark Tale 2 in 1 cart

Jesus christ...

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/5o🦈Z🍵ySp.png

[chrome estuary]

Dragon Ball GT really?

[fair gull]

ya theres tons of those

43 to be exact

25gb of GBA roms

[chrome estuary]

ugh i have so many games I need to complete but I'm sitting here watching stupid shit for GBA Video, as well as development consoles.

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/🐟K🐬😾🍜f🐳q.png

thats all roms for any game ever released on those consoles

[chrome estuary]

Awesome.

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/Hv😼Q🐍ADo.png

and all gamecube games ever

[wheat plume]

it bothers me that the dark theme doesnt carry over to the copying dialog and the properties pane too

[fair gull]

same

[chrome estuary]

@fair gull switch to #🎮│game ?

[fair gull]

this is kinda between tech and game talk

its more about i love those consoles

and nintendo in general

at first their consoles had really pushed technology

with the wii they were kinda eh

and with the switch they just conquered a market that doesnt even compete with microsoft or sony

[chrome estuary]

See I'm still wondering if it'd be a gametalk area since it's talking about game tech.

[fair gull]

we need a game tech channel

[ashen spindle]

No new memes, no new RTX from this GTC

[chrome estuary]

Has samsung released a new type of SSD? I'm seeing QVO now.

[ashen spindle]

not that new but yes, its the cheap/slow ssd variant

[chrome estuary]

550mb/s isn't that slow...

[reef patrol]

That's basically just SATA3 limits right there. In theory

Gotta benchmark to see the actual stats.

[chrome estuary]

sure it's no nitro turbo fast NVME with flames painted on the sides...

[ashen spindle]

well it's QLC so it is slower than other ssd types, but ofc not HDD level

[chrome estuary]

but hell my OS SSD doing 390mb/s max (I think) is fast IMO

Sandisk is going to be putting up for sale in April... a 1TB MicroSD card on their Extreme Series. I want it. It's gon be 500$, I won't buy it but I want it.

[latent mural]

Qlc is faster

Not that it matter with nvme on 4 pcie lanes or sata

[wheat plume]

my liking towards Node.JS has risen SLIGHTLY

I just found out that it was never meant to have Windows support 😂

Just Linux and MacOS

it was 2 years later that a company who helped fund Node made a Windows port

[warped dove]

@wheat plume wew... wait so the neglect of windows is what makes you like it more or is that just parallel info to how you're liking it?

[wheat plume]

The fact it want for window initially xd

[pale sigil]

Going to try and convince all 3 of us in my house to invest in an oculus quest together lol. Would save me loads and my sister and mum would use it for exercise.

Beat saber was just confirmed

And honestly it's one of the only games I actually play on my oculus Rift :p

[latent mural]

how much is a quest?

[pale sigil]

Hopefully around £200

[latent mural]

I think I have bad news for you

https://www.oculus.com/quest/

almost at the bottom

seems like it'll be the same price as a normal rift

[pale sigil]

Usd

There's no regional pricing yet

[latent mural]

you know how hardware prices translate

[pale sigil]

Usually it's $50-100 cheaper in the UK

With oculus

So it sounds about right

[latent mural]

what's the price on a rift currently?

it'S 400€ with touch bundle in GER

[pale sigil]

£350

[latent mural]

that is quite cheap

[pale sigil]

New rift is coming out soon

So there's no stock anywhere

[latent mural]

rip germany?

[pale sigil]

Either way I'm hoping maybe mum and sister can contribute

Because they won't use it much anyway

But they are exercise fanatics

So they'll deffo use it to exercise when they can

Mum absolutely loved using it with best saber etc

You'd be surprised how much you can burn in vr vs going to a gym!

[latent mural]

nah

beat saber is intense af

so much that steam vr has problems

[pale sigil]

Other games too ofc

[latent mural]

beat saber was the one that pushed steam vr over it's limit

[pale sigil]

I'm worried about the quest tho, it's using same os as the go

[latent mural]

the people were faster than the devs thought was humanly possible

[pale sigil]

Which means it's going to be aids sideloading

[latent mural]

rip

[pale sigil]

And yet oculus had no issues 🙄

[latent mural]

why not a rift?

[pale sigil]

I have a rift

Using vr headsets is just effort

[latent mural]

ik

[pale sigil]

It's a whole process for a little bit of fun

[latent mural]

maybe get a wireless module

[pale sigil]

And im sick of how fragile they are

Like if you don't warm it up for 10-15 min

You fuck up the lenses for gold

Good

Or if uuh sweat your lenses are done for

[latent mural]

yee

and you'll sweat

[pale sigil]

Like im kinda sick of it

Oculus Rift S is getting a lense upgrade so I hope it resolves some of these issues!

[latent mural]

hopefully

lighter would also be good

[pale sigil]

Also my head had got bigger for some reason the last few months

[latent mural]

although te rift already is lighter than the vive

[pale sigil]

So like it's not comfortable atm

The weight has never bothered me

I don't feel it

At least on the rift

[latent mural]

it felt a little unbalanced imo

likely very subjective

btw raytracing will also officially coem to pascal gtx

a 1080 ti can achieve "1440p with ultra-raytracing in 20 fps"

whatever that means

[pale sigil]

Also screen door effect

Dear God

And God rays

Eventually you just forget

But damn

It's fucking cancer

[latent mural]

yep

[pale sigil]

And if you wear glasses, oh lord it feels like you're setting off a nuke inside the headset on n your lenses

[latent mural]

you can overlook it, but it'S not quite there yet

[pale sigil]

I keep meaning to get contact lenses

[latent mural]

well, I never had glasses so idk about that one

[pale sigil]

The difference is fucking huge

For me

Wearing glasses but I'm to scared

Bhahaha what Ray tracing on pascal?

[latent mural]

yee

german news article

[pale sigil]

Hilarious

Rtx on 1000 mode?

Hehe

[latent mural]

the 1060 3gb and below won't get it

due to being too underpowered and having too little vram

so they don't even give the option

[pale sigil]

I still won't bother

[latent mural]

well

if there was any game that I was interested in that suports it I'd test it

but tbh there just isn't any

the list of 3 games jsut is too short

[pale sigil]

I don't wanna take the hit

[latent mural]

nevermind, it's 4

well if I can still run the games at 75 fps i'm happy

won't be the case

ikik

give me a wooting one for work and it won't happen

well I havce to press shift to write the '

since it's on a second layer

german ISO

everything is on a second layer

\ is on a third layer

~ also is

even * is on a second layer

we need space for öäüß

not much tbh

I'm just used to it

I should likely do the same

but I don't want to switch

[reef patrol]

"insane"

[latent mural]

and I'd need 2 keyboard for that

[reef patrol]

IT's perfectly sensible 😛

[latent mural]

I just looked at it

wtf

the other ones are double point for äöü?

and one is the ^

which is left of the one

but luckily you have a 1/2 symbol, § and | there

yee, we only have äöü and those have dedicated buttons

we have a ´` button

even though the german language doesn't natively have those

it'S good they exist

but why do they need their own button

especially bad for programming

when every bracket is on a secondary or tertiary layer

especially bad for the {} since it'S tertiary

what?

it's the dollar symbol for me

btw, the @ in the german layout is on the tertiary layer of q

without there being a seconday layer

and ctrl was tranlated in german ISO

we have strg instead

we have to know it's STEUERUNG

yee

next keyboard will likely be a ANSI one

or a GMMK, idk

wtf

never heard of it

the german wikipedia article also is VERY short

[pale sigil]

Has anyone got any old pc cases they could sell me or donate to a good cause?

Bare bones etc

Nothing fancy

(it's not for me BTW)

@latent mural you still want this Anne Pro BTW

[latent mural]

sure

still couldn't get it to work?

[pale sigil]

Nope

[latent mural]

rip you

I have a PC case btw

huge af

a corsair 750D

with 3 140mm noctua fans if I remember correctly

[pale sigil]

And possibly amd3+ motherboards

Used to have a spare but idk what happened

[latent mural]

they cost almost no money

just shipping will likely be more expensive for most

it'S like 25€ new

if I pay 10€ for shipping that's almsot half the price of a new one

a used one is also like 10€

https://www.amazon.de/Logitech-G203-kabelgebundene-Optische-Mio-Farb-LED-Anpassung/dp/B01MYQ4HJD

27 on amazon

https://geizhals.de/logitech-g203-prodigy-schwarz-910-004845-a1562240.html#offerlist

pick one

idk

yee

lemme check

[pale sigil]

UK had them for £18

Other day

[latent mural]

is there even ebay in finland?

what are prices there?

don't have a finnish vpn

nah

or it is expensive af

like 30€ expensive

it'll show me prices and shipping for germany
