oh

#

that makes more sense

latent mural
#

No, a banned light switch

fair gull
#

it boots only 10% of the time

#

the battery is kinda fucked

zenith mirage
#

does the switch have a console port :p

fair gull
#

but it has cfw

latent mural
#

Be careful that you electricity provider doesn't find out

fair gull
#

and like 50games on the microsd

latent mural
#

Nice

fair gull
#

all loaded from the net cause i cant actually buy games with a banned switch

#

cause nintendo doesnt want my money

latent mural
#

Lol

#

They know you'd buy another one

fair gull
#

cant even download previously owned games

#

cant use my previous games anyway

#

cause my account is also banned cause linked to the switch

#

so 300โ‚ฌ games poof

latent mural
#

Rip

fair gull
#

ya and all that cause HB menu changed the keys for launching it

#

and i assumed i was in ofw

latent mural
#

I still hate them for how bad smash bros online is

fair gull
#

should have never turned wifi on

latent mural
#

Mine had problems with dhcp after an update

#

Didn't bother configuring it correctly until now

fair gull
#

still need to find a launch switch somewhere with the exploit

ashen spindle
#

yeah ultimate is sooooo close to beeing amazing for the pro scene, but ofc netplay has to suck again

latent mural
#

Don't they all have hardware exploits?

fair gull
#

no

ashen spindle
#

heck not even just for the pro scene, even noticeable if you are half decent

fair gull
#

the released new hardware in september last year

#

that has a fixed tegra

latent mural
#

I thought the tegra had security problems

fair gull
#

yes

#

the tegra got a rev

#

now is fixed since sep in new switches produced then

#

i mean i could maybe try fixing the boot part on my switch and the battery

#

and just pirate games

#

welp imma go take a dump and then do lanas test thingy

zenith mirage
#

what a nice fellow

fair gull
#

?

zenith mirage
#

you seem to be very generous, giving all this stuff away, doing folk's work

#

etc

fair gull
#

i just cant say no and idk maybe a bit of like

#

that id also like to get treated the same sometimes

#

my life was never like "here boy buy yourself some icecream"

zenith mirage
#

I feel that

fair gull
#

maybe i just wanna at least make sure other dont fully go through the same

pale sigil
#

Anyone got a PayPal access card?

fair gull
#

also part of the reason why im seeing a therapist

#

just can hardly say no to requests

latent mural
#

I mean I like helping people, but I also like sarcastic jokes and making fun of people for stupid questions, I feel like that kinda helps

#

Also I am pretty lazy

fair gull
#

im also lazy but i also dont like going back on my word

#

so if i say im doing it

#

then i will

zenith mirage
#

I think saying no is made easy when A) nobody asks anything of you and B) you're useless anyway. So I get it pretty easy

latent mural
#

Well

fair gull
#

i feel useless all the time but

#

these few times i get asked

latent mural
#

You can still agree to do somethin, even if you have no idea what you have to do

zenith mirage
#

Oh I've done that too

fair gull
#

like i mean

#

i already said imma fix the usb c

#

now im commited

#

i didnt know shit bout pcb design

#

yet i made a pcb

zenith mirage
#

Good on you my guy

#

I do not have the patience to stick with much

fair gull
#

same but i just keep my word

#

so if i say imma do it

#

i will even if im annoyed or impatient

zenith mirage
#

I think the only commitments I've kept in the last few years is going to work

#

And even that's been janky

#

And perhaps loosly guitar, but I still suck at that

golden girder
#

I only have done the USB C thing because you wasn't able to do it by resoldering the connecter and I don't wanted to wait longer back than.

#

Because I wanted to prove it to all the disbeliever here ๐Ÿ˜„

reef patrol
fair gull
#

@zenith mirage btw not doing the test thing for lana since she didnt ask... just want smth to do

zenith mirage
#

Fair

pale sigil
#

hmmm my cooler is rattling

fair gull
#

good sign

pale sigil
#

Also why the hell is my file explorer dark theme not working

#

its really loud due to my recorder being right next to it, but the grind is so fucking loud.

#

i just really want a case already

pale sigil
pale sigil
#

when i get a new case im going to re do it all

#

hopefully the h100i is not the issue

wheat plume
#

there is a glitch in spotify, it doesnt clear the notifications when I scroll to the end of the messages

#

the only way is to reply

ashen spindle
#

I mean how hot does it get under load? @pale sigil

#

bc if you aren;t overclocking, or oc'ing but aren't limited by temperatures it doesn't matter if it's 30 or 80C on the cores

pale sigil
#

Very

#

Like so hot

ashen spindle
#

thats not a number

pale sigil
#

65-75 and with fans medium

#

Max around 55-60

#

Depends on the game

ashen spindle
#

okay so completely fine temps

#

unless that's the temp of the liquid lel

pale sigil
#

Not fine for a h100i

ashen spindle
#

it makes 0 difference

#

unless you want quieter fans by slowing them down

#

then you have less room to do so

#

otherwise there is effectively 0 difference between the numbers showing 30 or 80

pale sigil
#

Except it can effect life span

ashen spindle
#

if you go above 95/100C sure

fickle ore
#

there is, 80c takes more electricity

ashen spindle
#

but it doesnt take more energy, it's just less energy taken away by the cooling solution, the cpu isn't acting differently

#

yea after 95/100 on intel

fickle ore
#

the hotter the component the more it takes eletricity to power, and that affects longevity of the part, iirc small degradation happens after 60c or 80c, forgot

pale sigil
#

The weird thing is the cooler itself is very very very cool

#

Like 20c

#

It just seems weird considering with a h80i I was getting around 30c idle

#

I already re applies the thermal paste

ashen spindle
#

does it make good contact with the cpu, enough paste etc?

pale sigil
#

Yes and yes it should be

#

Been doing it the same way I've always done it

#

When I get a new case I'll just look into it all then.

#

I really can't be bothered bringing out my entire system etc

ashen spindle
#

hm, depends where the heat sensor in the cooler is, if its near the cpu and its still 20c there the heat transfer is the issue, as it should build up there especially with a bad/slow pump

pale sigil
#

They don't

#

They spike like fuck

#

Up and down up and down

#

Sometimes it'll randomly hit 80

ashen spindle
#

for water temps? O.o

pale sigil
#

Ye

ashen spindle
#

ok yea water temps above 60 or so indicate a big problem usually LOL

pale sigil
#

No

#

That was the fans

#

I completely stopped them with my hand and the Noise went away

ashen spindle
#

well yea fans must go crazy with cooler temps like that lol

pale sigil
#

Ye I know the rpm

#

I just have had had look with corsair

#

My h80i died

ashen spindle
#

glad I still just went for air cooler with my current system, less hassle lol and noctua coolers are solid

pale sigil
#

I was considering it

#

My hyper 212 had for years

#

0 issues

ashen spindle
#

zip ties? whats that, I only know tweezers

pale sigil
#

Hyped 212 you get multiple brackets with it

#

These days

ashen spindle
#

isa joke on the verge video

pale sigil
#

Like, pretty sure you can get them cheap

#

If they aren't cheap there they are here

ashen spindle
#

tbf can you get anything for cheap in CA?

pale sigil
#

If you wanna buy them here and I can post but it would probably be easier and cheaper to just pay $15

#

lol

#

I was thinking of getting a nocta

#

Then again if this h100i is faulty corsair would replace it

#

My experience with corsair rma is the best I've ever had

#

Replaced that cooler in 4 days

plush summit
#

Can I rant?

crimson wigeon
#

Yes

plush summit
#

You know what really grinds my gears

#

The fact that we have this thing called near field communications

#

You know basic cards

#

That you can tap

#

Except you shouldn't tap

#

Because it's called near-field communications

#

As in close contact

#

Not touch the damn thing

#

But hold it close enough so that it reads the fucking RFID tag

#

I've never had an issue

#

I've never had to touch any sensor with my cards or my phone in my fucking life

#

I've always held them close to the reciever

#

Then I see people hopping a busser hopping a train or go to pay for the groceries using NFC

#

A little bit about the fucking break the card pressing it against the goddamn scanner

#

I've never had that problem

ashen spindle
#

there is an easy solution

#

don't pay with card, pay with cash vvSellout

plush summit
#

I've never had an issue when HF RFID reader has not been able to detect my cards or my phone less than 5 cm away from it

crimson wigeon
#

Well yeah that's why they call it tap, you tap it

plush summit
#

But it's called near-field communications

#

Not touch field communications

#

LF RFID is the slide card style

#

HF RFID is near field communications we hold it close enough that with the tag but you don't have to touch the damn thing

crimson wigeon
#

True true, but it requires effort to hover it just right when you can just tap it on there in an instant

#

Also speaking of paying with phones it's the future I do it except when it doesn't work which is embarrasing ๐Ÿ˜

plush summit
#

Cards also use the contactless payment known as HF RFID

#

Keep in mind there are two types of RFID

#

There's the low-frequency RFID and there's a high frequency RFID

#

Find me the RFC on RFID

#

If it exists

#

It's just a petty thing that I have

#

I see people tap the cars in the terminal and I think "you just have to hold it close... You don't have to physically press on it and break your card in the process"

latent mural
#

lol, you can use nfc and rfid without touching

#

it's just more reliable and faster the closer you are

pale sigil
#

How old are you again @plush summit

plush summit
#

There's always been a handshake range

#

I fail to see what distance outside the handshake range has to do with anything

latent mural
#

I legit used it without direct contact

#

both of them

plush summit
#

I've been using it without direct contact for such a long time and I've never had an issue or miscommunication

latent mural
#

it works

#

for what device?

plush summit
#

You're weird

#

You just have to hold it close enough that it reads the tag

pale sigil
#

No u

plush summit
#

I've never had an issue

latent mural
#

card or nfc on phone?

#

ok?

#

never had any problem

pale sigil
#

I've never had to direct contact

latent mural
#

you know that google pay supports the normal contacless card stuff?

plush summit
#

And grinds my gears when people deside to use direct contact

pale sigil
#

Like it has to be really close but I have a thick case and I don't always have to press

latent mural
#

every terminal that does contacless card payments support google pay

#

since google pay emulates a debit card

#

idk

#

don't think samsung pay is supprted here

plush summit
#

Anyway sorry about the rant

latent mural
#

even google pay was somewhat delayed

plush summit
#

@pale sigil I'm legal to drink alcohol in Canada

pale sigil
latent mural
#

since german banks decide to do their opwn shit

#

and there are like 3 alternatives to pay pal

pale sigil
#

I use this lol and I don't have to have direct contact

timid chasm
#

leaaather ewie

latent mural
#

they of course didn't like google pay

plush summit
#

Good god what have I started

pale sigil
#

I think one thing the UK is good at over most countries is banks

latent mural
#

so I had to wait until it supported paypal

crimson wigeon
#

But I bet they're rushing to support Apple pay

pale sigil
#

We've had contactless for many many many years so apple and android pay were pretty much instant too

#

PayPal has always been supported too

plush summit
#

I try to add my credit card to my phone but it's not supported

pale sigil
#

I came live without android pay tbh

latent mural
#

not always here

pale sigil
#

Can't

latent mural
#

at first it was 3 banks which almost no one used

plush summit
#

You came

pale sigil
#

I hope I can add my credit card to it soon

plush summit
#

That's all that matters

pale sigil
#

Because I've never had s credit card before

latent mural
#

samsung pay still isn't supported here

pale sigil
#

Samsung pay is shit

#

Never used it

#

And barely anywhere supports it

plush summit
#

Samsung pay can emulates LF RFID tags

latent mural
#

can't try it

crimson wigeon
#

So how do you know it's shit?

plush summit
#

So they don't have an NFC Reader you can still pay

latent mural
#

and google pay works 100% of the time if contacless is supported

pale sigil
#

Well ok i tried it

#

I mean never used full time

plush summit
#

Samsung pay is Superior

latent mural
#

google pay does that too

pale sigil
#

It also forces you to not use google pay

latent mural
#

or does your contacless debit card have a battery for nfc?

pale sigil
#

No

latent mural
#

tbh

pale sigil
#

Tbh

latent mural
#

i'd try to keep it disabled on my card

#

since it is insecure af

#

and everybody can just hold a terminal near your pants to steal money

pale sigil
#

If the distance is great but to far it will usually fail

#

So,writes

#

But usually I don't have to directly touch it

#

Also here in the uk you can't spend over ยฃ20

#

Via contactless

latent mural
#

yea

#

but you can do it repeatadly

#

it's 25โ‚ฌ here

pale sigil
#

Not here, there's a max frequency

latent mural
#

but you can pay more if you then enter your pin

pale sigil
#

If you use it very very frequently payment gets blocked

latent mural
#

yea

#

that's still a lot of money to go waste just because of that

pale sigil
#

In general anything over ยฃ100 gets blocked

#

You have to ring up and verify it -_-

latent mural
#

watching out for skimmers was already stupid enough

pale sigil
#

You can ask for a none NFC card but that's slowly being stopped

latent mural
#

you can get it disabled here

pale sigil
#

Probably here but never really thought about it

latent mural
#

as well as tan generators for online banking

#

completely stupid

plush summit
#

I've had a total of 0 problems with my NFC payment @proud nacelle the only time NFC didn't work was when the safety measure kicked in which meant for my next payment I had to use my PIN

latent mural
#

they are forcing sms tan or push tan nowadays

pale sigil
#

Ye I've never personally had issues too

#

Unless it was the machine at fault

#

I've had times the machine just won't accept it

reef patrol
#

We just use wireless card payments here with the occasional PIN requirement.

#

Though I have considering clipping my wireless many times for security

latent mural
#

the chip has nothing to do with it though

pale sigil
#

Tbf

#

I don't use my card much

#

Always use google pay

#

Always

reef patrol
#

No point here.

pale sigil
#

Why is there no point

#

Don't you use an app or something

#

Over there

crimson wigeon
#

Discord voice in a nutshell

reef patrol
#

No.

#

We either use a debit/credit card or we use a mobile pay app... which uses our card for instant transfers ๐Ÿ˜„

pale sigil
#

So yes an app :p

reef patrol
#

Yes...but not in stores.

#

The Mobile pay app is generally only for second hand market booths and such.

pale sigil
#

Ah

#

Well PayPal is used for that

crimson wigeon
#

I swear if I hear another mobilepay ad...

reef patrol
#

๐Ÿ˜„

pale sigil
#

Already have here

#

Wtf

#

Samsung pay is murdering google pay

#

By so much

#

Ye I lost it xD

#

But how is it better....

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah that magnetic stripe thing which is only really relevant in NA because rest of world has fully changed to modern terminals

pale sigil
#

I know Knox is physical

latent mural
#

@crimson wigeon we have a burger king here which has one terminal which only supports stripe

#

rest does all the stuff

crimson wigeon
#

Makes sense

latent mural
#

tbh, most terminals actually do stripe

#

but most people don't know it

crimson wigeon
#

Gotta have that proper Murica experience

pale sigil
#

@proud nacelle XD I tripped or updating using official Samsung image

latent mural
#

well it looks like it is part of the plastic shell of the terminal in most cases

pale sigil
#

I hate Samsung for that

#

And it's one of the reason I'm not bothering with them

#

I really liked Samsung health ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

crimson wigeon
#

My banks main app has some pretty intense root detection which makes sense I guess meanwhile their NFC payment app thing gives zero fucks

plush summit
#

Anyway sorry for the rant

#

If I had art lf my fursona I would post a triggered version

latent mural
#

pls no

crimson wigeon
#

Time to commission

latent mural
#

rip hard earned money

#

now it goes to some dude drawing gay animals

crimson wigeon
#

The furry life

pale sigil
#

I do not

#

I'm using Samsung's ota

#

I tried 2 Roms with that took that let's you trick apps

#

But like I couldn't use google pay

#

Ye no I messed that up

#

*I tried 2 roms with an app that lets you trick apps

#

Doesn't really bother me tbh

#

It's not as bad as it used to be

#

That's also true

#

I just have Samsung store and basic apps

karmic grail
#

@pale sigil which roms you running? My friends 1+5 is rooted and he's using Google pay/bank tap and pay flawlessly

pale sigil
#

LineageOS and some other

latent mural
#

Btw the 1650 is doa

zenith sonnet
#

Huh
Need to watch that later

#

Did Nvidia pull an AMD?

latent mural
#

Ye

crimson wigeon
#

People will still buy it

zenith sonnet
#

I hope Navi exceeds expectations

#

AMD needs some sales so we have more even vendor distribution

latent mural
#

If it's expectations are to give a compelling answer to the 2080 ti im on

#

Doesn't even have to exceed it in price or performance

zenith sonnet
#

It's unlikely that it beats the VII in performance

#

But it might get 'close enough' for a lot less price

latent mural
#

Well I hope it does

#

If I wanna upgrade my vega 64 I want to get a very noticeable performance bump

#

Old always is better

#

At least that's what people say

#

Icq is still up afaik they can use that instead if it is better

#

fake

#

no real old site would have a white background

#

I forgot it was this

solar hinge
#

what changed @digital cliff ?

latent mural
keen dagger
#

There are little effects when you click on buttons instead of just when Discord sluggishly loads their content, the icons on the top right are now consistently designed, the red mention badge has a new and better circular design, the icons next to channels have been slightly changed, and the Discord logo on the top left and server finding buttons have been redesigned and improved

#

As far as I've noticed

#

It's not that big of a redesign, but it's good and I don't understand the...revolt

timid chasm
#

Man I hate when Windows Apps require installation on a system drive

#

you're VUDU for crying out loud why do you need to be on my C drive

pale sigil
#

@latent mural you mean the numbers?

latent mural
#

yea

pale sigil
#

Ye its weord

#

Weird

latent mural
#

there are some other changed symbols

reef patrol
#

The 1650 isn't entirely DOA.

latent mural
#

well

#

it kinda is

#

maybe if you need to do compute tasks with cuda acceleration but can't afford a better card, although buying on eused would be MUCH better

latent mural
#

man that vega 64 red devil is really overpriced

#

783โ‚ฌ in the outlet

reef patrol
#

It uses significantly less power than the RX570,

#

Which is essential for any prebuilt PC with no PCI-E plugs due to proprietary PSU

karmic grail
#

But hybrid ๐Ÿ˜ญ

latent mural
#

in pretty much all cases you can adapt from molex to 6 pin pcie though

karmic grail
#

Wonder how a hybrid card would fit in the A1

latent mural
#

likely not

#

the tubes on the side are just too much

karmic grail
#

True

#

If the card isn't thicker than the back IO plate, it could realistically fit, BUT bending the tubing would be a very tight turn

latent mural
#

yeaaa

#

you don't wanna kink them though

#

asetek tubin isn't as affected by kinks

#

but still

karmic grail
#

nah rather buy a EVGA ftw card

#

But $800 is on the cheaper end

latent mural
#

what are new 2080 prices btw

karmic grail
#

My local shop has a Galax 2080 for 919$

#

But that's a clearance price

#

Usually starts at 1099

#

omg some guy in my PC group has gentle typhoons for sale

#

AP15's $30 for 6 ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

latent mural
#

nice

#

now you only need a rad where they actually are good

karmic grail
#

But I have the noiseblockers

#

FAAAAARK should I just buy

latent mural
#

gentle typhoons are only really good on rads

#

and you can always find them for a good price

karmic grail
#

Tfw no rad cause I sold the AIO kit

#

I've never seen AP15's sell this cheap

#

$5/fan

#

I'll pass I'm too lazy to reinstall every fan in my system

#

Let some guy get a good deal

crimson wigeon
#

When the vulnerabilities stop existing

fickle ore
#

yes but must you apply shitty mitigations that increase the system latency and polling infrequency to compensate as a default?

crimson wigeon
#

Yes of course, clearly it's a ploy to make you buy newer hardware ecksdee

#

Or you can do what I do (on Linux) and disable all the mitigations

inner ivy
#

Anybody here have experience with Steam's Daisy Wheel input format?

#

I wanna try making a better layout for playing games, since the steam one is balls for that

latent mural
#

the shield pin isn't powered

#

and it doesn't really make a difference

#

no

#

it is connected to ground

#

it is a shielding wire after all

#

well it is supposed to catch external influences

#

and redirect them to ground

#

so your data doesn't get influenced by it

#

no

#

other way around

#

if it's not connected you may get some crossfeed issues with other cables

#

doesn't really happen though

#

no

#

in an ideal case the shield cable does nothing

#

it's kinda like the third pin in a wall outlet

fair gull
#

third pin in the wall outlet?

#

what country do u live in

latent mural
#

legit every country has a 3 pin layout for wallpower

reef patrol
#

(We don't use the third pin though)

latent mural
#

devices with a metal case should use it

reef patrol
#

In fact I often yank out the third pin, just to avoid issues with sockets ๐Ÿ˜„

latent mural
#

wat

#

?

#

type F is 3 pin

#

top and bottom is earth

#

you mean the frech one?

#

it's not pin shaped

#

but it's a 3 pin layout

#

yeaa

#

that's what the french use

reef patrol
#

How odd. I can't find our typical laptop cable in a standard. It's like the F above, except there's a third pin.

latent mural
#

never had compatability problems tbh

#

thjat sounds italian

#

or swiss

#

ik

#

I said it in a general way

#

since there are so many damn standards

#

for no real reason

#

all of these are the same voltage and frequency anyways

#

ye

#

the british type g also isn't bad but can have somewhat exposed contacts while being connected

solar hinge
#

Belgian one as well

#

My language?

#

I'm dutch

reef patrol
#

So odd.... can't find these plugs anywhere ๐Ÿ˜„

latent mural
#

the japanese are the worst

#

wtf is that

solar hinge
#

I just use Dutch cables as the work on both dutch/German (as posten above by someone) and belgian outlets :D

#

Apparently, Canadians ground the whole socket (unlike Americans)

reef patrol
#

I legit feel trolled right now. Our cables aren't anywhere on google ๐Ÿ˜„

solar hinge
#

Me?

reef patrol
#

Like I said. None of them. ๐Ÿ˜„

solar hinge
#

Ah

reef patrol
#

It's like the E/F, except there's a third round pin where the hole is.

reef patrol
#

Ish.

#

Which is why people take tools and rip it off, since most of our extension coords only have the two holes ๐Ÿ˜„

solar hinge
#

That is what it shows me when I Google Danish socket in dutch

#

Type k it says

reef patrol
#

K it is...sort off.

solar hinge
#

You have a smiley face socket, because it's laughing at your language

reef patrol
#

It must be a variant. The ones I find of K on google have a flat ish tip on the two middle pins. Ours don't. They are fully rounded.

#

Mhmm

fair gull
#

?

#

custom css is like low prio

#

bd wasnt made for theming

#

more for plugins

#

beautifydiscord is for theming

#

na bd is a buggy mess

#

i have message encrypt, decrypt plugins, keeping deleted messages, a database hooked up to even store the shit

#

na u can break discord by using the normal client

#

i mean... did u ever check the trello board for desktop client?

#
#

theres more than enough bugs

#

btw the verified bugs category is the important one

#

discords model?

#

wha

#

yes but this trello board is to keep track of all discord bugs

#

for the desktop/browser version

#

its the official one

#

used by the bug hunters etc

#

thats all 4

#

useable with dark theme

#

wot

#

same

#

it looks useable to me

#

thats with darkreader enabled

#

mainly this board cause so many cards

#

like i said just check the verified bugs category

#

ull have fun cause its fucking massive

#

bug that basically breaks the overlay

#

will get fixed eventually

#

many people actually

#

i know at least 40 or so people who do

#

better question is who uses steam overlay

#

even in source games useless

crimson wigeon
#

I've mostly stopped using overlays and just tab out like a caveman

solar hinge
#

that has something to do with it flagging every where as cheats

crimson wigeon
#

Eh, it's rarely a problem

wheat plume
#

I can use my media buttons on my mouse too to change song

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah I don't have that problem, I have more a problem with games that only have borderless window

wheat plume
#

It does

crimson wigeon
#

And yeah true, because on Linux there isn't any kind of "exclusive fullscreen"

wheat plume
#

I notice it on GNOME desktop with Insurgency
the panel height is cut from along the top of the game when I alt tab back to the game

crimson wigeon
#

On Windows it means forced composition which adds nasty input lag and also stuttering because vsync is forced

wheat plume
#

and for minecraft it minimises the gamer for some reason

#

NGH....games can have exclusive fullscreen on Linux

#

it isnt possible to use hotcorners or anythign when a game is fullscreen

#

but on youtube fullscreen it is possible

crimson wigeon
#

By exclusive fullscreen I mean that it completely takes over all rendering

wheat plume
#

oh...might just be gnome then

#

on Plasma you can turn off compositing when a game is in fullscreen

crimson wigeon
#

Yes, that's a very good feature

wheat plume
#

so there is some input lag but I dont mind it

crimson wigeon
#

Supposedly it should make it better because the game window can get directly scanned out and no other window rendering is done

wheat plume
#

^^

crimson wigeon
#

But in my experience it's the opposite, perhaps compositors don't really implement it yet

wheat plume
#

Do not use the Deepin Desktop to game on

#

some of the games I have run at like 15fps on it for some reason :/

crimson wigeon
#

Why would performance be bad?

wheat plume
#

they use their own version of GNOME Mutter

#

it may be that

#

because gtk doesnt natively have the ability to blur shit and blur is built into their desktop

crimson wigeon
#

Only if you run really intensive effects

wheat plume
#

that few days I switched back to windows
I had the worst screen tearing ever :/

crimson wigeon
#

or the compositor is badly written

wheat plume
#

I could not find a way to stop screen tearing on windowss

#

woot woot

#

Marco is one of the compositor option on the MATE desktop

#

thats the only place I ever see that used anyway

crimson wigeon
#

xfwm isn't very good at compositing

wheat plume
#

xfce?

#

o

#

i didnt hear of that wm before

crimson wigeon
#

And what's a marco

wheat plume
#

Marco is a compositor

#

in Mate you can choose what one to use

#

oh...

#

wait nvm it isnt a compositor

crimson wigeon
#

Well yeah in the X world you can have those separate or combined

wheat plume
#

its how the windows are displayed on the screen

#

it affects the animations and shit

#

not how they are drawn

#

yeh

#

the gnome window manager is so solid

#

no screen tearing ever on my system

#

even on games unless I get shit fps

crimson wigeon
#

Whut

#

I only ever experience tearing when I go exclusive fullscreen and I want that tearing because vsync is input lag and inputi lag is bad

wheat plume
#

i cant stand tearing

#

it make my eyes hurt

#

and its annoys me

#

turning Vsync on in the window nvidia control panel thingy didnt do shit to fix it for me :/

#

it does, on nvidia cards, but not on gnome or pantheon for me

crimson wigeon
#

Although I will say, Linux if I limit framerate to 60 (my monitors refresh rate) and engage tearfree it really is tearfree and the input lag is the lowest for any kind of vsync I've experienced

wheat plume
#

Yup

crimson wigeon
#

(but it's still there so no thanks!)

wheat plume
#

switch to gnome desktop or do the fix I do for Plasma

#

^^

#

mm

crimson wigeon
#

I don't need any Plasma fixes I use AMD so it all works ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

wheat plume
#

no tearing on AMD?

crimson wigeon
#

Well, the only thing that doesn't work is if I turn on vsync in a game and have composition disabled it doesn't work properly

#

It does something but there is a very consistent tear line at the same place all the time

#

Nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of tearfree

wheat plume
#

oo

crimson wigeon
#

I've not done much experimenting with it to figure out why that happens

#

For all I know it's caused by having multiple monitors because that's always a giant pain point on the penguin side of things

wheat plume
#

My friend has 3 screens
and he uses one in portrait mode
he has no issues on GNOME

#

thats not even worth it cause the center bezel

crimson wigeon
#

I also extend... to the left which is fun when things like to show up at coords 0,0

#

Also kwin_x11 handles differing resolutions poorly as I can put my mouse pointer and drag things to the black space inbetween monitors because they are differing resolutions

wheat plume
#

cough cough use i3 xd

#

i3 can do that

#

or xmonad

crimson wigeon
#

Very confusing behaviour

reef patrol
wheat plume
#

lost

crimson wigeon
#

Speaking of i3 I tried to use sway for a bit as it's the only compositor that actually supports monitors connected to graphics cards other than primary

#

Worked well except for gaming where it just broke completely in interesting ways

wheat plume
#

o?

#

i love i3 ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I dont go back to it because I lost my config file ;-; and it takes too long to make it again

crimson wigeon
#

But also I've grown older and just want to get on with things and not spend hours tweaking everything so I think I'll just stick with Plasma

#

It was fun yeah

#

I do kinda miss using xmonad but...

#

Yeah I've used that as my main as well for a while

#

Plasma Kwin all that

#

Because as I said I don't want to spend hours configuring things

#

I want shit to just work

wheat plume
#

Kwin is neat

#

its got most of compiz built in!

crimson wigeon
#

I've also used fvwm as my main in the past

#

That was the real shit

#

Actually the last thing I used before I migrated back to Windows

#

Windows right now, dual booting ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

Not supported on my CPU

fair gull
#

welp im done with lanas assignment except for css

#

anyone wanna do that for me?

crimson wigeon
#

Can't say I've had that problem

fair gull
#

same

#

altho the js part was fun

wheat plume
#

wait..did you do it the way she specified??

fair gull
#

a few constants and boom

#

85k lines

#

i am certain i did it the way she wanted

#

except for the design

wheat plume
#

ooof

crimson wigeon
#

Actually the only problem with Windows deleting stuff is because I use Btrfs so I also have WinBtrfs installed which works great, except turns out when writing it just writes shit willy nilly and corrupts random files, was fun unfucking that situation

fair gull
#

@wheat plume yep all to spec except design recheckt just now

crimson wigeon
#

Indeed it is

wheat plume
#

O.O

fair gull
#

all 11 arrays are in aswell and as the var name promises they arent used once

crimson wigeon
#

That thing hasn't borked any of my files... yet

wheat plume
#

how tf you redo it that way so fast?

fair gull
#

didnt redo

#

adapted

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah

fair gull
#

all my functions

#

literally

#

ikr

wheat plume
#

same

crimson wigeon
#

Btrfs isn't really a very pleasant experience however, I'll probably yoloswitch to bcachefs as soon as it's mainlined

fair gull
#

and thats all my css

#

much css

#

very style

wheat plume
#

is section 8 so different? I must fully look again

fair gull
#

yes

wheat plume
#

you have its own stuff all over

fair gull
#

its the only one that cucked me

#

but i adapted

wheat plume
#

oh ...

crimson wigeon
#

FS

#

That's what I want to find out

fair gull
#

and the unspeakeable html

#

at least its a 1 page app

#

in pure html and webjs

wheat plume
#

"Section 8 Progammes"

fair gull
#

now i will commit die

wheat plume
#

I love progammes

#

wtf is that name

crimson wigeon
#

Hasn't happened to me... yet

fair gull
#

i will put this on GH then u can technically reference the entire code and style the css

#

cause it says copying code is allowed as long as you got refs right?

wheat plume
#

mm

#

shes fail me for copying it all

fair gull
#

u sure?

#

she didnt limit it

#

i mean

wheat plume
#

at least the array parts I assume

fair gull
#

ure following the shit she gave u

wheat plume
#

idk if she gives a shit about the CSS

fair gull
#

she said responsive design

wheat plume
#

i doubt it that is first year stuff to her

fair gull
#

this is caveman html

wheat plume
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

yeh

fair gull
#

and for the arrays

#

ya she said to use 11 to store the stuff

#

but never that you should build your code around them

#

so /shrug

rip intel

#

10nm desktop got delayed until at least 2022

fair gull

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

crimson wigeon
#

Coolio

latent mural
crimson wigeon
#

Oh SHiiIIiiIT

fair gull
#

yama having the fbi and sek on his door any minute

latent mural
#

cause I am computerbase

#

you can't compare both 100%

#

but it's sad that intel fails so hard at 10nm

chrome estuary
#

yeah but isn't amd's 7nm thing only like one part of their entire CPU

#

and not the entirety of it

latent mural
#

yea, but all important parts are 7nm

#

the things that make the biggest difference in performance

#

and splitting it up is not a bad design

#

since they connect similar parts anyways

#

and they can get much higher yield like this

reef patrol
#

AMD are still throwing more cores than Mhz at the problem, which isn't fun for gamers.

zenith sonnet
#

They're doing quite ok nowadays

#

Unless you've got money for an i9, they're your best option

reef patrol
#

Unless you're on a budget? Not for gaming.

#

AMD definitely rule the "I have an actual budget" range, but Intel still wins even with i5 CPUs for gaming, just gaming.

reef patrol
#

It's good for both - It isn't BEST for both.

#

Which is ... most consumers who game ๐Ÿ˜„

#

And those might want AMD. I never said otherwise ๐Ÿ˜„

#

The way they function inherently.

#

A LOT of game logic needs things to happen in sequence.

#

You can offload some aspects, but not most.

#

That's above my knowledge level ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Most of what I know has been explained by devs.

warped dove
#

He has a lot of good explanations and even predictions about consumer tech such as desktop and gaming hardware, very informed and often technical but accessible

chrome estuary
#

I've got the 4k TV plugged in this this super thick and badass feeling cable. It instantly forced 300% scaling which made it feel like it was 720p at best.
I moved it to 100% scaling which makes everything super small sure but... but... it looks so good and I'm just watching youtube on it atm and even 1080p on it looks amazing.

2 minute long 4k 60FPS HDR video... 404MBs large.

plush summit

thats it?

#

what was your encoding method

#

i can get a 2 minute video to be a few gigabytes in size

#

@1080

chrome estuary
#

fuck if i know. I was just downloading from youtube.

#

I wish I could stream in 4k all the time... This looks great.

plush summit
#

oh

from yt

#

oh hell

"5ghz" mobile

hmmmm

plush summit
#

hmmmmmm

karmic grail
#

Probably on one of the cores

#

Yea

#

Portable heater

#

Think ghz

#

Actually CPU core count

sick creek
#

Ghz doesnt necessarily mean heat

#

Voltage means heat

toxic jolt
#

it's almost like

#

that's the reason all laptop CPUs are low performance

#

lol

chrome estuary
#

isn't their 'h' series their 'high performance' mobile series?

sick creek
#

Well, yeah, ok, but when the architecture gets more efficient/process gets thinner

#

Less heat

#

Because less voltage

#

But same clocks

#

Like how pentium 90mhz used to be a space heater

#

But now 90mhz runs without a heatsink

zenith sonnet
#

There's also core size
Mobile processors have smaller cores than desktop versions, thinner memory controllers, etc
So even with equal core count and Hz, they perform less

latent mural
#

although the Matisse demo AMD showed earlier this year performed extremely similar to the 9900k with the same core count, thread count and clock, but used less power

#

now of course this comes from AMD directly

#

but considering the "innovation" intel made the last 4 years and will make the next 2 I wouldn't trust on them a lot

zenith sonnet
#

I'm hyped for this Summer

latent mural
#

I really hope they deliver what they promised, seems possible though

zenith sonnet
#

It seems likely, even
Last thing they hyped more then it was worth was the 480X, maybe they learned...

Altho that channel is hardly about gaming anymore lol

Well

They do game benchmarks

pale sigil

my temps are so high wtf

fair gull

almost positive its supposed to look different

plush summit
#

XD

wheat plume
#

Uhh

sick creek
#

Icon css fucked up lol

wheat plume
#

android is themed with css?

fair gull
#

never knew

pale sigil
#

Did Microsoft remove dark theme from the file manager?

crimson wigeon
#

no

pale sigil
#

Why won't it work for me >.>

wheat plume
#

do you have system apps use dark theme?

pale sigil
#

I have dark enabled yes

wheat plume
#

because on the new version you can change the theme of the apps and the shell seperately

#

that happens on the college PC's sometimes too

#

well..the limited number of them that are updated the the version with dark theme

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

oh you don thave that version

#

hmm

#

also how do you have like a split view thingy?

pale sigil
#

I'm on my iPad remoting in atm

wheat plume
#

ooohhh

chrome estuary
#

It works on my machine callum

pale sigil
#

@chrome estuary ur machine is gay

fallow bison
#

i am gay

fair gull
#

i mean what win ver do you have

#

iirc it came with 1809

fallow bison
#

it did, yes

chrome estuary
#

Ur gey

fallow bison
#

but imo its way too black

#

no im not

#

ish

fair gull
#

way too black?

#

maybe the settings and the frame

fallow bison
#

ye

fair gull
#

but the content itself is a nice grey

fallow bison
fair gull
#

like i said sure the settings background and frame of windows might be dark

fallow bison
#

although it doesnt apply to system ui

fair gull
#

basically pure black

#

but the grey it sets to explorer contents is nice

fallow bison
#

ye well, too dark in general imo

fair gull
#

i like how it is except the frame and settings

#

otherwise its nice

#

same grey discord sports

fallow bison
#

id most definitely use it if they refine the settings theme

fair gull
#

same

#

basically just black in the settings

fallow bison
#

Yeah

#

The one reason installed a custom theme is cuz of that

pale sigil
#

It won't work for meh

#

Whyyyyy

fallow bison
#

huh

#

you dont have a dark theme?

pale sigil
#

Dark theme

fallow bison
#

git gud

fair gull
#

i mean do u have some custom theme shit installed?

pale sigil
#

It's enabled but file explorer it won't work

fallow bison
#

yes

pale sigil
#

This is a fresh iso from ms

#

It ass working in my last os install

#

I miss it

fair gull
#

and the ver is def 1809

pale sigil
#

Sec

fallow bison
#

set your theme to default and apply dark theme

#

see if it works

#

yes tony

fair gull
#

u never know with ms and their "fresh isos"

fallow bison
#

lol

fair gull
#

altho it did improve with win10

#

and the media creation tool

fallow bison
#

i use mediacreationtool to extract it

#

no not mct

#

some odd program i found on the internet

fair gull
#

why tho

#

its an iso

fallow bison
#

wintousb

fair gull
#

just

#

even more thonk

#

since mct can do usb sticks directly

fallow bison
#

well it preserves my programs

pale sigil
#

It should be since it's a new ISO

fallow bison
#

nonono i only use it to extract the iso

#

not to burn to usb

fair gull
#

right click and 7zip extract it somewhere

fallow bison
#

d e a d s i l e n c e

#

Yeah i could indeed just copy it over

pale sigil
#

Wtf

fallow bison
#

but frik it

pale sigil
#

I'm on an old build

fair gull
#

see

crimson wigeon
#

Or on the official download page if you set your browser's user agent to something not Windows it just gives you direct ISOs

fallow bison
#

see

#

haha nice tony

pale sigil
#

Oh right ye I disabled Auto updates instantly hahah

fair gull
fallow bison
pale sigil
#

Still weird to have such an old ISO

fallow bison
#

whcih ver is it?

fair gull
#

well ud use the mct

#

select download updates

fallow bison
#

^

fair gull
#

and then u would maybe get a pretty fresh iso

#

with only 1 or 2 updates missing at most

#

but current feature update

pale sigil
#

Ye I used mct

#

I always use it

fallow bison
#

what

pale sigil
#

That's what's weird about this

fallow bison
#

okay thats weird

fair gull
#

the question is did u select the download updates option

#

pretty sure the mct also asks

fallow bison
#

maybe they retracted 1809? cus of file thingies

pale sigil
#

There isn't download updates?

fair gull
pale sigil
#

I'm on 1703 atm

fair gull
#

its def 1809

#

literally loading it rn

fallow bison
#

wtf lmao

#

i could extract it for u

#

but how would i send it

pale sigil
#

XD mine is named that too

fallow bison
#

w t f

#

microsoft give me the bottle go drink water u drunk

pale sigil
#

XD wtf

crimson wigeon
fair gull
#

or just use linux

#

even easier

crimson wigeon
#

Probably

pale sigil
#

Wtf is wrong with my upload rn

fallow bison
#

good

#

i n s t a l l i t

pale sigil
#

But ye wtf happened lol

#

That's the exe

#

I used

crimson wigeon
#

Or go with an insider build to be absolutely sure

fair gull
#

inb4 callum renamed it to make us hate m$

fallow bison
#

and play it with me u weirdo

#

oh no i wasnt talking windows

#

m i n e c r a f t

pale sigil
#

To 1803

fair gull
#

why not

fallow bison
#

pleb

fair gull

and click upgrade this pc

pale sigil
#

Can't be bothered getting out of bed

fair gull
fallow bison
#

pretty sure he did

#

oh ffs callum

fair gull
#

na then it would go straight to newest

pale sigil

wait no

fair gull

Ignore me

fallow bison

#

and yet you write

fallow bison
#

good

#

shits crazy

#

anyone here familiar with vnc viewer?

#

i wanna be able to access my pc from my phone, as vnc is faster and less compressed than chrome remote destop

fair gull
#

use teamviewer

fallow bison
#

n o

#

they though i was a business so they blocked my pc

#

thats how often i use it

wheat plume
#

O.o

#

Wow

fallow bison
#

ye lol

fair gull
#

easier fix

fallow bison
#

i get a 5 min pause after a 2 min session

fair gull
#

dont access ur pc

fallow bison
#

no

pale sigil
#

They almost blocked me

#

Kept saying I was using it as a business

#

I just sent an email saying I remote in from email a lot you pleb

fallow bison
#

i really prefer vnc over anything else, as i had to use it on my raspi , like, always.

#

its way better than chrome remote / teamviewer

pale sigil
#

AnyDesk

fallow bison
#

could give it a go

#

is it also on linux?

fair gull
#

never liked vnc myself

pale sigil
#

I think it is

fallow bison
#

raspi that is

pale sigil
#

Don't you just use ssh

fallow bison
#

nah i use my second monitor as vnc monitor when i use my pi

fair gull
#

who uses a DE on a raspi

fallow bison
#

whassa DE

#

i am stupid

fair gull
#

desktop environment

fallow bison
#

oh i do
