[fair gull]

so 2530

which isnt much more than what wed normally pay

[neat oriole]

Still expensive tho

[fair gull]

not really imo

if u consider the top model is 1tb and 12gb ram

[latent mural]

it'S 1488 US$ in the usa

[fair gull]

and iphones have what... 512gb

[neat oriole]

Yeah but it costs about 200 less here before tax

[latent mural]

wait

[neat oriole]

It’s still expensive

[latent mural]

you have to add tax?

[neat oriole]

Yes

[latent mural]

oh ok

[neat oriole]

The top spec iPhone is 2k exact

[latent mural]

with or without tax?

[fair gull]

and its less speced than the s10+ top spec

[neat oriole]

It’s also less money so it makes sense

[fair gull]

yes but like 162cad less

not much tbh

for apple being more shit

[neat oriole]

No it’s more like $250 less

[fair gull]

1879.99 + 15% = 2161.9885

[latent mural]

the top specced iphone here is like 2489 CAD

[fair gull]

so no

its 162 less

[neat oriole]

Yeah with the promo I guess it’s not much more

But still both are expensive

[fair gull]

more or less

you pay for what you get except with apple

there you just pay cause its apple

[pale sigil]

🤤 https://youtu.be/osv_sdEMevQ

[neat oriole]

I don’t think anyone really needs more than 64gb for a phone

[fair gull]

well i already filles over 150gb

and its still filling up

[neat oriole]

What files are you keeping

[fair gull]

actually expect to buy a 512gb microsd aswell

i keep my music on my phone

what else

[neat oriole]

That’s a lot of music I suppose

[fair gull]

not really

more like its all FLAC

[neat oriole]

I’m aware

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/🐙😸️🐳O🐟️😽.png

thats the first one im copying rn

and in 3months when im back the rest follows from my nas

which is already shutdown for moving it to the new apartment tomorrow

[wheat plume]

wow, my music collection is tiny 😂

[fair gull]

the nas has another around 1TB of music

[wheat plume]

woah

[neat oriole]

I only have about 30gb of music on my phone

Most of it is 16/44.1

[wheat plume]

i have no music on my phone, I stream from youtube or spotify for that

[neat oriole]

YouTube quality isn’t great

[fair gull]

i dont like streaming thx to spotty internet thx to many forests thx to being in a rural area

and ya yt is shit

if id use streaming id go with tidal

[neat oriole]

I just don’t see the point of streaming music

[fair gull]

i still purchase CDs

[neat oriole]

It’s like constantly downloading and then deleting the music

Why not just download it once and then never worry about it

Same I still burn CDs

[fair gull]

my words exactly... why not buy the cd once, rip it with EAC and be done

[fallow bison]

spotify supports downloading, though

[fair gull]

is encrypted tho

[neat oriole]

I don’t like DRM personally

[fallow bison]

I have 68 gigs of spotify music on my phone rn

[pale sigil]

What why

[fallow bison]

Only thing is you can max download 3333 songs, per device

[neat oriole]

If you’ve downloaded it it’s not really streaming anymore

[fallow bison]

Which ia stupid

Is*

[neat oriole]

Well yeah they gotta cap it

[pale sigil]

I live off 4gb data a month and I rarely use Spotify premium

[fair gull]

i have 25gb of data a month and rarely use them

[neat oriole]

They can’t let you keep unlimited music for like $5 a month or w/e it costs

[fallow bison]

Well it's per device though

Iirc you can have 6 devices per account logged in simultaneously

[fair gull]

inb4 darrell has 20 phones

all keeping different 3333 songs

[fallow bison]

Lmao

[neat oriole]

Yeah but a new device is going to cost a lot more than some CDs

[fair gull]

well

[fallow bison]

But thats why i think its bs

[pale sigil]

Use play music

[fair gull]

depends on if its import or not really

[pale sigil]

Upload your own music

[fallow bison]

Why not cap it to the account instead of the device

[pale sigil]

And listen offline

[neat oriole]

I just use iTunes/foobar2000

Or VOX

[zenith sonnet]

After 3 or so years of use

64 GiB is enough :p

[fallow bison]

how

[fair gull]

ya how

[neat oriole]

He doesn’t have any music or videos

[zenith sonnet]

What how?

[pale sigil]

Ye I use 32gb

And I find it enough

[fallow bison]

you** madlad**

[fair gull]

i used 64gb a long time but i just want all my music and not swap all the time

[pale sigil]

I deleted like 8gb of photos tho

[neat oriole]

As long as you’re not using your phone as a media device you won’t need much storage

I still think 64gb is enough for 99% of the user base

[zenith sonnet]

I have 220 GiB of music on my PC

Over 200 GiB of that is jcore

[neat oriole]

Idk what jcore is

[fair gull]

has 220gb of music
over 220 of that is jcore

what

oh wait

misread

200

am dumb

[neat oriole]

If you have a lot of music you might as well buy a dap

[fair gull]

a what

[neat oriole]

Digital audio player

[fallow bison]

[fair gull]

but

no equalizer settings

[neat oriole]

They have better built in dac/amp

[fair gull]

no dolby atmos

[zenith sonnet]

I think that was every jcore album existing at the time of the download, in flac

[neat oriole]

Who cares about Dolby atmos

A dap will likely have eq settings

They’re dedicated music players

[fair gull]

but then i carry 2 devices

[neat oriole]

The second device is more flexible and sounds better

[fair gull]

id about sounds better tbh

[neat oriole]

It’s got a better dac and amp

The 2 things that actually make sound

[zenith sonnet]

I'm not happy with my K3 :(

Shoulda gotten another E10K

[neat oriole]

Something like a Sony A 45 or Fiio M7

[fair gull]

i mean it prob wont sound different on my headphones

[neat oriole]

That’s unlucky

The e10k is just so outdated

[fair gull]

ngl i wont carry round expensive studio headphones

[neat oriole]

You don’t need expensive headphones just good headphones

Most “studio” headphones sound like ass anyway

Maybe you can try the MDA

[fair gull]

idk if id call the dt 770 pro sounding like ass

[zenith sonnet]

The K3 has issues like clicking/crackling sound when turning on/off
A delay turning on when no audio was playing
The device settings are not saved properly and Windows sees a new device all the time

[fair gull]

altho i am looking to buy a pair of dt 1770 pro

cause they feel a ton nicer

on the ears

[neat oriole]

DT770 has a massive treble spike

[zenith sonnet]

Tried DT880
Sound was good, but the ear pads too small

[neat oriole]

DT880 is the pretty much the best thing Beyer makes

[zenith sonnet]

They are on-ear if you don't have tiny ears

[dense ice]

Now I have a question would it be possible to take apart a Holy Panda switch and use it with the Flaretech housing?

[neat oriole]

I think you might just have massive ears

Your the first person I’ve heard to say the 880 is on ear

Lol

[pale sigil]

What?

[fair gull]

when i tried the dt 880 they sounded so crap tbh

[zenith sonnet]

Nah, they're about average in size

I checked afterwards :p

[neat oriole]

The 880 is more accurate

[zenith sonnet]

I had the 250 Ohm

[fair gull]

wait the dt880 arent on ear?

[zenith sonnet]

They are

[neat oriole]

They’re the same size as the 770

[zenith sonnet]

But they're quite small

[neat oriole]

And 990

The 770 is very v shaped

[fair gull]

ya but ares sounded like he implied theyre over ear

[pale sigil]

What about the 69s

[zenith sonnet]

They were resting on the tips of my ears

[neat oriole]

They’re over ear for everyone I’ve talked to except xeanoa

[fair gull]

wait so are they over ear or on ear

im so confused rn

[zenith sonnet]

Earpad diameter is like 6 or 6.5cm

[neat oriole]

The 880 is the same size as the 770 so if your 770 is over ear the 880 is also over ear

[zenith sonnet]

That's just about average ear size

[fair gull]

the dt770 is on ear tho isnt it

at least it is for me

[neat oriole]

Then it’s on ear for you too

[fair gull]

i could prob cram my ears in it an make it over ear

[neat oriole]

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=11567

This is ok if your K3 doesn’t quite work

[fair gull]

anyway from my memory alone since i never directly compared them the dt1770 pro sounded a lot better than the dt 880

[neat oriole]

The 880 is a neutral sound the 770/1770 is a hard v shape

If you like v shape you should try the CAL

[fair gull]

idk what that even means... like i try em out and see if i like the sound or not

thats literally it

i choose my headphones like my mice

i try em and if i like em thats it

[neat oriole]

V shaped means emphasis on bass and treble

[fair gull]

if i dont i dont...

that would explain why i like them

[neat oriole]

Hence the “V shape”

[fair gull]

dont get it

[neat oriole]

On a frequency response graph

[fair gull]

yes

[zenith sonnet]

What's the next step up from the K702/K712?
Sundara?

[neat oriole]

So ie this is like v shaped

This isn’t the dt770

But you can see the bass and treble are a lot higher than the mids

[fair gull]

like no joke still dont get where the v comes in

[neat oriole]

And so it’s called “V shaped” because a V has two higher points at either ends

[fair gull]

should be called man with quadruple shin and tiny face

[neat oriole]

Point is v shaped refers to something with lots of bass and treble but less mids

[latent mural]

well on a typical equalizer you would've gotten the effect by putting the sliders in a v shape

[neat oriole]

Yes that too

[latent mural]

something like this

[neat oriole]

Yes that

Way better explanation

Also I think Sundara is more of a sidegrade from the 702/712

It’s not really better it’s just a bit different

[latent mural]

I personally would try them just because they are electrostatic

[neat oriole]

They’re planar

[latent mural]

ehh

planar

[neat oriole]

Not quite electrostatic

[latent mural]

not electrostatic

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/6🌹u😹😺A5🙇.png

[latent mural]

only had dynamic ones

[fair gull]

see man with quadruple shin

and tiny forehead

i told you

[latent mural]

[fair gull]

v shape is def not the right description

[latent mural]

not quite what I expected

[neat oriole]

Driver tech doesn’t really matter

[latent mural]

ik

[fair gull]

anyway enough of my photoshop skills imma go do some schleep and get packing tomorrow mornin

hf bois

[latent mural]

would also be a sidegrade for me since I currently mainly use HD6XX

[fair gull]

see you in prob 3months

[latent mural]

cya

[neat oriole]

Try the creative aurvana live!

Also later dude

The exclamation point is part of the name

[latent mural]

ehh

closed back

[neat oriole]

The best closed back under 400

For v shaped sound at least

[zenith sonnet]

Well, what's an upgrade, then?

[latent mural]

I have no problems with open back

[fallow bison]

Best of luck @fair gull

[latent mural]

paying for something like hd800

[neat oriole]

I mean do you have the 702 or 712

[zenith sonnet]

Hmm, HD800S, you mean?

I got both

[latent mural]

both would be an upgrade

you can't get the non s maybe

[neat oriole]

The S is more v shaped than the non S

You could try the HD800

[zenith sonnet]

I wouldn't buy the HD800, but the HD800S looks more interesting to me
I've heard they're about as neutral as they come?

[latent mural]

you have somewhat contradicting points

[neat oriole]

The HD800 is more neutral

[zenith mirage]

Read up, saw the E10K mentioned. I have one of those, is there a reasonable upgrade path beyond splashing on a schiit stack or similar? Or is it just not worth it

[neat oriole]

Most people still consider the HD800 to be the better of the 2

[zenith sonnet]

I got an E10K, and a K3, that's supposed to replace it

[neat oriole]

MDA and K3 are somewhat minor upgrades within a similar sort of price range

JDS labs Atom is a lot better than a Schiit magni

[zenith sonnet]

I just know that I hate speakers now :p

[neat oriole]

But that would require getting a dac as well

[zenith sonnet]

You'll have to pay a fortune for speakers that deliver similar performance to a 200€ total headphones and DAC/amp combo

[neat oriole]

The current best bang for your buck is the JDS Labs Atom and a Massdrop SDAC

[zenith sonnet]

How much total?

[neat oriole]

About $180 in total

[zenith sonnet]

Hmm, that's acceptable

[neat oriole]

The Atom amp is very flat and transparent and very technically capable

[latent mural]

can you get the massdrop sdac?

[zenith sonnet]

Also, as European, Massdrop is meh

[latent mural]

or is it out of production currently

true

[neat oriole]

Rip it’s out of production atm

The Schiit Modi also works but it’s $20 more

But the Atom is a really good amp

So maybe Atom+Modi

[latent mural]

the atom is like 160€

and the modi 125

[neat oriole]

Rip EU prices

I paid $100 for my Atom

[latent mural]

when importing you likely pay much more

[neat oriole]

True

[latent mural]

http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/jds-labs-atom-headphone-amplifier.html

110 pound

[neat oriole]

Still pretty worth

The next thing that’s better than the Atom is $400 and regularly sells for $600+ on the second hand market

[wheat plume]

There are two people from google on the late late show on TV and my family are trying to shame me for not being them and not being a billionaire by now
They are like you could have this much money but you are jobless and have no home of your own

[ashen spindle]

big yikes

could counter with "could've been you too, but you are just watching them from a TV while being x years older than me"

[wheat plume]

these people are 30 years old max

they are young

[wheat plume]

Play store has a new look

[karmic grail]

Which one of these brands would you guys choose

EVGA, Asus Strix or Gigabyte Aorus?

[ashen spindle]

depends

gpu, mobo, what version etc.

or is it about something else than those two

[karmic grail]

Gpu

[ashen spindle]

Idk, even then I‘d have to look at the exact option, EVGA could be a reference card with okayish cooler or Kingping edition, they have both ends lol

[karmic grail]

Hmm...
FTW3, Strix, Aorus

[chrome estuary]

This is from a fuckin phone

Just let your mind wrap bout that

[karmic grail]

flexing that dual screen

[chrome estuary]

Hell yea

Getting used to typing on is unusual

In extended and dual screen.

It's easiest in dual screen to partially close the screens.

In landscape. It's less awkward but idk. To eaches own

[karmic grail]

Tossing ...
At a wall? 🤔

[latent mural]

@karmic grail i'd definetley pick the evga, they have pretty good coolers and customer support.

[karmic grail]

oh
what phone?

@latent mural think I might go EVGA for my next GPU, trying to keep it two slot since my case cant fit 2.5slot cards

[latent mural]

oof, forgot abotu that

most evga cards are bigger now

[karmic grail]

nuuuuu

[latent mural]

the competition is similar though

what card do you even want?

there are pretty much only 3 oprions

a pny xlr8, a windforce x3 and an evga black edition card

[karmic grail]

I was just looking at card designs for future amd cards

I think I looked at a 10 series EVGA one and thought it was the new one

[latent mural]

best amd card are pretty much always sapphire btw

problem is they like to do "limited editions" and liited runs of cards

[karmic grail]

The nitro+ versionlooks pretty good

[latent mural]

which one

the vega and rx cards have completely different coolers

[karmic grail]

Vega

[latent mural]

oh ok

[karmic grail]

Almost has a founders RTX look to it

[latent mural]

there is teh nitro+ and the nitrü+ limited edition

which has a completely different cooler, looks the same though

[karmic grail]

C'mon AMD drop the cards, my wallet is ready

[latent mural]

they did

[karmic grail]

Find a R7

[latent mural]

?

radeon or r7 240 or some shit

[karmic grail]

Radeon 7

My bad

[latent mural]

why radeon 7 when you could get 2 vega 56 ones

[karmic grail]

Mini ITX 😂 😭

[latent mural]

or a vega 64 for 300€ less

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/8GB-Sapphire-Radeon-RX-Vega-64-Nitro--Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Full-Retail-_1235216.html

370€

bit big though

[karmic grail]

I might need to go for a dual fan GPU for my next gpu

Triple fan cards are a tad big for my liking

the "want" urge overpowers my "need" urge

[latent mural]

I know that feeling

[karmic grail]

1070

😂

I know that's why I'm asking which manufacturer to go

not really lol

yes 😂

CPU or GPU upgrade first tho

Ok I'll hold off for a while

🤔

Because that's two weeks of suffering the pain of not buying stuff

You see the issue here

The key to not wasting money is to never have any

[zenith sonnet]

Nah

There's plenty of stuff I've been meaning to upgrade for a long time

Just waiting for the right stuff

I'm not sure if I should buy the Aorus AD27QD :(
There isn't really a better option atm, but also the overdrive performance is not what I'd like to see

https://pastebin.com/jQNqEJYJ if you want to look at the exact issue, somewhere here it is

but the issue only appears on octaves >= 2

even better, it works if I allow it to use more buffers than it should need, so you might not even be able to find it in the code alone could be some directx limitation

[crimson wigeon]

But sadly that's the standard nowadays

[wheat plume]

yeah, discord and spotify are the apps I literally have open all the time and they dont fit into my system theme

fustrating

[fallow bison]

better discord

Allows for custom css

[wheat plume]

is there a google material design CSS for it?

[fallow bison]

No clue

[wheat plume]

ahhhhh

Everyone claims that spell checking and grammer comes with LibreOffice on Manjaro

didnt on mine

finally got it working

[fallow bison]

Found a few themes, just give it a quick google search and voila

You can always change the css to use different colors

[plush summit]

nice

[crimson wigeon]

But that requires effort

[wheat plume]

funny thing is GTK isnt a theme engine

it just so happens it can be themed

[crimson wigeon]

Well it used to have various theme engines back in the GTK2 days but nowadays it's all just CSS

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe I should stop using so many nightly or whatever packages, 2772 packages needing to be updated after a few days of not updating is pretty silly

People told him to buy a low profile card. He did not listen.

• Scary metallic cutting noises *

[timid chasm]

at least the cut looks pretty straight?

[solar hinge]

and he can now claim he has a custom case

and probably improved his airflow drastically

[reef patrol]

😄

[pale sigil]

Would anyone like a Corsair K60 for spares and repairs.

Only 5 switches dont work atm.

i cant be bothered fixing it myself

[zenith sonnet]

'atm'

[pale sigil]

well i mean

eventually more will die

lol

[zenith sonnet]

Beside the airflow, he probably also improved dust intake

[pale sigil]

@fickle ore waste of time you say?

Why

[fickle ore]

not in general sense, but for me

[pale sigil]

Man my UNI was a joke.

"internet security" was learning about virus's and common sense.

Networking was also basic af

absolute jok

only interesting thing was forensics

[pale sigil]

I already did

I'm 4 years in m8

[latent mural]

Wait

How many semesters in total?

[timid chasm]

too deep into it to bow out now!

[plush summit]

AAAAAAND bsod

Doep

[pale sigil]

Pretty much

It's not that there was a bunch of shit like family expectations that kept me in a I have to do this mood

[pale sigil]

but they sat down and shit

one side of my family is old fashioned af, we have a fucking crest and shit

i feel Japanese in this family sometimes

always have to make the family proud and shit

[zenith mirage]

Yeah I've given up on caring what my family think, and it's great

[zenith sonnet]

My kids are probably going to hate life
But then again, every teenager does 😶

[karmic grail]

hoorah

[pale sigil]

And now you find out it's faulty

[karmic grail]

plsno

all is well

[ashen spindle]

not for long

[karmic grail]

feet falls off, mouse breaks, sensor fails

[quiet crescent]

guess ima jump on this keyboard " https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro-tkl " now, before the Wooting Lekker keyboard

switches is the same as lekker or quite similare, if I got this right

[crude cipher]

@quiet crescent but it's not analog to the PC, it just lets you move a binary threshold

[quiet crescent]

but it let me reset the actuation point without releasing the key all the way, right?

@crude cipher

[crude cipher]

What do you mean by that?

[quiet crescent]

I like to bottom my keys, I understood it like it will reset its "activation action" whenever released above the set activation point

say activation point is 3.6mm then it will release at 3.5mm and if I click it down again it will activate itself again

[crude cipher]

I'm not sure how much you have to return

[quiet crescent]

if that is not something just for the lekker switch though, but I understood it like that for the steelseries too

[ashen spindle]

I mean I'd imagine thats how basically every switch works unless I'm missing something?

[zenith sonnet]

Release point is not always the same as the actuation point

[quiet crescent]

find wooting one to release a bit slower, although I have my activation point set to bottom

[zenith sonnet]

Why do that, anyway?

[karmic grail]

monoprice make peripherals now?

[latent mural]

those are LK switches from bloody

they use a lightgate, which works compeltely different

the version they use is wobbly af though

[halcyon moss]

I don't remember who it was who got me into the ninox astrum indigogo campaign.. but this campaign is frustratingly lacking in updates :/

any idea how to rubber coat a 3d printed object "food safe" ?

[zenith sonnet]

Silicon

[unique schooner]

can i just "dip" it in there ?

i dont want to 3d print a wobbly thingy

[zenith sonnet]

It's a 2-component liquid, afaik

Latex could also work

[pale sigil]

Oh baby

[zenith sonnet]

Might be easier to work with, too

[urban salmon]

Im building a mechanical numpad what switches are good im thinking of dustproof outemnu blues

[latent mural]

Also depends on what you want

If you want clicky I can recommend Kailh BOX clickies

So white/pale blue/pink/jade and navy

[urban salmon]

I want navys but they are so expensive

[latent mural]

0.38€ per switch

Could be worse

[pale sigil]

0.38

Where????

[latent mural]

Candykeys lol

[urban salmon]

I bougt a wille ago parts for my pc it only costed 2300€

Lmao

I dont have money anymore

I ordered the outemnu switches

8.27€ for 30pc

[pale sigil]

That's pricy

I got 90 for like £12

[urban salmon]

These have special sliders look em up dustproof outemnu blues

[pale sigil]

Less actually

$14 for 90

Which is decent

Delivery is what cost me though

[urban salmon]

I bougt them with no delivery cost

[pale sigil]

No delivery cost

Damn

Where from

[urban salmon]

Aliexpress

[pale sigil]

Tbh outamu are much cheaper than gateron

[urban salmon]

The normal thing comes with the worst ni brand red switch

No brand

[latent mural]

you mean otomo?

[urban salmon]

I like novel keys better

Ibm model f be like am i a joke to you

[latent mural]

as a european candykeys is nice

since they ship from munich

[pale sigil]

Outemu

[urban salmon]

Do ylu guys watch chyrosran22

[pale sigil]

Think I'm going for navy blues next time

[latent mural]

yep

[urban salmon]

Do you guys know chyrosran22???

[latent mural]

ye

[pale sigil]

Wait euros

That's pricy

For navy blues

[latent mural]

problem with him is that he mainly likes and reviews vintage boards

[urban salmon]

So what i like vintage boards and the wooting one is hus fav gaming keyboard

His

[latent mural]

@pale sigil not that much more expensive than novelkeys, when you add shipping from usa and import tax

[urban salmon]

I live blue alps

Love

[latent mural]

haven't had the chance to try them unfortunatley

[pale sigil]

They were $0.80 at mech key alpha but they don't seem to be selling them now

[latent mural]

in germany everybody only wants to sell old cherry boards or rubberdomes

[pale sigil]

Also I never got taxed

[urban salmon]

Rubber domes suck

[latent mural]

0.80$?

[pale sigil]

Per key

[urban salmon]

Cherry sucks too

[pale sigil]

Oh there's like no difference

In conversion

So ye there pretty decent

Cherry doesn't suuck but I prefer gateron

[urban salmon]

The only cherry switch i like are the mx whites and black

[pale sigil]

Flaretech greens when

If I was loaded I'd pay for the development of them

XD

[urban salmon]

Razee is bad do

[latent mural]

you mean new springs lol

[pale sigil]

80g flaretech blues aren't great xD

[urban salmon]

Razer

[pale sigil]

Not razer greens mate

Razer greens are just blue switches

[urban salmon]

The greetech switch is okay

[latent mural]

there are so many different razer greens

which one do you mean

not even sure if the newest one is a greetech one

[urban salmon]

Greetechs are the best kailhua are the cheap ones

[pale sigil]

Gateron greens or cherry is essentially browns and blues mixed with a more aggressive clock

Click and heavy

[urban salmon]

Try the razer yellow switch never felt somenting so fast do

[latent mural]

what do you mean by "fast"?

[pale sigil]

But razer switches sre just kalith

[urban salmon]

1.2 mm actuation

[latent mural]

guess what the wooting does lol

[urban salmon]

No the new ones are greetech

[pale sigil]

I don't want tramp switches in me board

[latent mural]

wasn't sure if they are still at greetech

[urban salmon]

Yes

[latent mural]

they somewhat slowly switched from kailh to greetech with the previous design

[urban salmon]

Im starting to like my birthday keyboard its so sturdy

[latent mural]

tbh the new razer green switch might be better than mx blue if it weren't so inconsistent

[pale sigil]

My parents never got me tech, most expensive tech I got was a Walkman

Well and a console I guess

[urban salmon]

I have too minidisk walkmans from sony

[pale sigil]

PS1 was my sisters prezzy and PS2 was mine

Haha

[pale sigil]

Had both of these

I'm not that old

[latent mural]

[pale sigil]

Mp3 players were the shit

[pale sigil]

[urban salmon]

[pale sigil]

For IOS devices transferring files (not music)

[unique schooner]

[zenith sonnet]

The fuck is that?

[karmic grail]

earbuds implemented into a watch
Don't know how battery life will be but

[urban salmon]

[ashen spindle]

for a second I though that some new windows mixed reality headset lmao

[karmic grail]

lmaooo

It's like a smart watch but has wireless earbuds build into the side of it as well

[zenith sonnet]

That sounds about as useful as a backwards knife

[karmic grail]

In some ways you carry one less thing, but you also lose one more thing when you forget/lose your watch

[zenith sonnet]

Why do people still wear watches?

[karmic grail]

I like to check my time without whipping out my entire phone

[zenith sonnet]

Why do you need to check the time so often it becomes a problem?

[ashen spindle]

I know someone who uses a smartwatch, mostly for reading emails and such while he's in meetings etc. and then just uses it for the time aswell

[zenith sonnet]

You need to have an awful lot of meetings that you shouldn't attend to start doing your mail sitting in them

[urban salmon]

This is the new outemu switch I ordered 30 of them

[urban salmon]

Sorry

I’m so excited

[wheat plume]

i love ICE SSB

[wheat plume]

this always confuses me about Arch

Out of date, there is nothing to do

[crimson wigeon]

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify/ probably just telling you that people have flagged that package as out of date

[wheat plume]

I found out something interesting about Spotify on Linux

Somewhere in the code is must use QT for something
Because I changed the QT font from default to Montserrat and the after I rebooted my PC Spotify was using the Montserrat font also

It never did before

@neat oriole Maybe you can help me, how would I be able to split my speakers to be able to use them for my desktop and my echo without losing quality

[fallow bison]

It would need ur pc to be turned on, but use an aux to route the output of the echo to ur pc, enable listening to mic, and boom

[unique schooner]

anyone wants to buy a corroded heatsink ?

have 4-5 for sale

[pale sigil]

Eh I don't want that tho

[fallow bison]

There probably are some splitters, but you'd need to be sure it doesn't output the signal to the pc too, then

I tried once, and some ports have different resistances which makes it to where the signal is weaker on one side than the other

Which makes it to where either the pc's or echo's output volume is very quiet

[pale sigil]

Simple splitters reduce quality and volume a lot

[fallow bison]

I think you're legit looking at maybe a small mixer panel now

_could be a good diy project _

A premium splitter modified to use diodes would probably also do the trick, though

[pale sigil]

I really need a new damn router

[latent mural]

Fritzbox

[pale sigil]

Wow they are ugly

[fallow bison]

oh no

[latent mural]

they are good though

[pale sigil]

No doubt

[latent mural]

if you don't wanna get enterprise stuff or build your own they are pretty much the best you can get

[pale sigil]

But they look like they came from a sci fi film from the 80s

[fallow bison]

_had mine replaced twice before switching to asus _

[pale sigil]

I'm looking for a VPN even

[fallow bison]

Idk about fritzbox nor all asus models, but my current one supports vpn

[pale sigil]

So expensive

[fallow bison]

Yes

[pale sigil]

Ye but it had to be beefy specs

To get max speed

[fallow bison]

oh i see

[pale sigil]

I really can't afford it but I can't even stream YouTube over the wifi atm

[fallow bison]

[pale sigil]

And I'm sick of everyone complaining even though they don't pay a single penny

[latent mural]

oh you just want good wifi

get a yagi

[pale sigil]

No

[latent mural]

point it where you usually use wifi

[pale sigil]

I want a VPN router also

Router is in my room so downstairs doesn't really get a signal

F I'm struggling just to send this image

[fallow bison]

2.5 GHz

[latent mural]

just get ethernet lol

[fallow bison]

Agreed

[pale sigil]

It's downstairs we already use plugs

[fallow bison]

No but asus has some good models which also support vpn's

Hrm
OP 7 Pro looks pretty nice
Too bad my OP3 still works like a charm and I don't have money to waste on phones

[latent mural]

battery lasts longer

and I don't think the OP1 gets software updates anymore

[pale sigil]

I need to replace my battery

Have all the stuff but cbs

Someone fly over and do it for me

[latent mural]

well the phone gets a lot faster

[pale sigil]

No

[latent mural]

if he wants a new phone for some reason why not let him spend it

[pale sigil]

Gets slower when you update

[latent mural]

ok

then never upgrade your phone

not saying either decision is definetley the right one

if he wants to let him do it

his money

not yours

[pale sigil]

Upgrade it within reason.

Still using an S7

Have no plans to upgrade unless replacing my battery doesn't work out

[latent mural]

the OP1 doesn't even have a fingerprint scanner?

and still runs on marshmallow officially

[pale sigil]

Anyone know any decent backup apps

For android

That allows sftp

[zenith sonnet]

OP7 has a bunch of improvements over the OP3
But nothing that makes me go 'I want it now'
It's just... everything is a little or much better or faster

[reef patrol]

Sticking with my OP6. Not a fan of the popout camera or lack of jack plug.

[zenith sonnet]

The pop out camera seems to be doing its job surprisingly well

At least it's engineered properly

[reef patrol]

I'll take the notch any day over moving parts.

[zenith sonnet]

So I'm fairly neutral to it

But the cameras are very good on the OP7

Not that I'm taking many pictures to begin with

[timid chasm]

but how are you gonna increase your chance of failure with less moving parts?

[zenith sonnet]

Cameras have a ton of moving parts already

One more or less doesn't matter

[reef patrol]

Those parts don't exit the body at any point. This matters very much 😄

[timid chasm]

yeah external moving parts are an accident waiting to happen

[latent mural]

Nah, it is for people who don't care about an inside camera

[pale sigil]

Trying to replace s7 battery and this shit just won't come off

Idk how much heat to give it without fucking it up

You can make it so hot that you almost can't touch it without damaging

[pale sigil]

Touch it without damaging? Huh

"good"

to be fair the real speed tests at like speedtest.net never give me numbers this good

[digital pewter]

Also most isps will prioritize traffic to those sites

[wet walrus]

yep. I recommend combining the results from speedtest.net with something like fast.net, which is on a netflix server, so the only way they can boost traffic to it, is to also boost it to netflix. pretty clever of netflix to set that up.
