put twitter on private, use a second email etc.
and for now it's voluntarely
they want your login data
they also are currently are allowed for your phone password
I meant make it private to make it look like you dont have an account
yea
also nothing prevents you from changing data once your are out of the room
yea
but I gues that is to price to live in the most free country in the world 
Anything new on the 144Hz, Freesync, QHD monitor market?
Hmm
Can't find anything about a release date
But it does sound nice
Guess I'm not ordering the Aorus until this one is out
With ips pricy
Ye that's when it gets pricy
376 isn't thaaaat bad
Aorus CV27Q
Also newly announced
Although it looks more like a proper HDR display from the little information
It'll probably be a while before I get a better monitor
Still waiting for an ultra wide
Ewww
ultra wide is 
I'd rather have 16:10
idk I dont see any benefits from 16:10
ultrawide I can split up as two monitors kinda if needed, or use it for a nicer view compared to 16:9
onyl like 1150 € 

ye
HDR400
loooks pretty good overall
HDR is basically contrast
which is hard to give in easy to understand numbers
HDR 400 is the lowest of the general ratings
but still gives a much better image
ROG Swift PG27UQX 🤔
All the good reviewers say that HDR400 doesn't make a meaningful difference, but HDR800 and HDR1000 are pretty damn nice
basically maximum brightness level
I woud too
but there are tons
just look at the lineup from one company
it sounds like a good idea at first
until you see how many different monitors there are
and you'd understand why tehy don't do it
so you'd end up with Ikea naming patterns and end up summoning cthulu after looking at the names
Most monitor names encode panel type, size, and other features
asus has like 137 monitors alone
they all are different and have a reason to exist
and the names do follow a pattern
Ye monitors are weird
for asus it is usually Monitor line a designation of 2-3 letter usually for panel type, screen size, revision and then endings which indicate to special features
although the letters differ for some of the lines
the ROG can have XG for example
PG27UQX
G-Sync
27"
UHD
High end
Its the same issue as with cpus/mobos/gpus. If I ask someone what CPU they have I hear "Intel Core I5" which tells me nothing, in those cases it would help if it's called "Intel AlligatorCPU" but the numbers do make sense if
Q may refer to 144Hz refresh rate
new intel numbers are ok
G is G-Sync
P is Monitor?
P is panel.
P is IPS
V is TN
XeanoaToday at 12:57
G is G-Sync
I dunno how to quote.
I can't read
"ASUS GamePlus" obviously
Mkay, that makes much more sense
Thanks
PG is high end gaming, then
Usually, yes
Seen these before
Even for things like Ovens
googled it, because for some vendors its easier or harder to find the naming convention they used
thats my only issue with the names
Well, shit.
it't not easy to find the offical name schemes sometimes
I want new displays now.
But now I found many that are likely going to be much better coming soon.
That sucks
That also follows logic
they follow a logic but the question is if we have a list that shows the logic
8 is FHD
A is QHD
U is UHD
MAybe.
Still think it's gotta do with refresh rate
Q is 144/155/165 Hz
could also be monitors with their Quantum Dot tech
Although 155 and 165 Hz are just OC modes
It also may be that several people use different personal naming schemes for everything that comes after size
Other than tftcentral.co.uk, prad.de and rtings.com, who else does decent monitor reviews?
for asus?
and idk any great monitor sites, only really used tftcentral in the past
They're good, but do like one review a month tops
rtings and prad.de have more reviews
All I want is a good Freesync monitor 😦
Maybe one day...
well thats harder than for gsynch monitors sadly
Not any more
Now that Nvidia supports Freesync, many manufacturers make a good Freesync monitor instead
ehh, while gsync modules cost more, nvidia in return tests the monitor quality, which is why from all the Free Synch options only 5% or so are recommended for gsynch from nvidia
exclusion process is what I did
first look at size, then resolution and refresh rate in order of whats more important to you
then go down the options
Same as @ashen spindle
The latest Aorus ticks almost every box
But the poor Overdrive made me cautious
Since it more or less breaks VRR
Also, not all of Freesync monitors that didn't make Nvidia's mark are worse then Gsync monitors
My Eizo FS2735 didn't get certified either
And it's among the best Freesync displays still, even after 3 years
Or 3 and a half now
The Eizo has 2 different Freesync modi
One high, one low, switchable through the OSD
I think that alone makes it not pass Nvidia's certification
Well, you don't need the certification for it to work
I am sure the certifications cost quite a lot of money
My life is like the market
not stable
and changes on a daily basis
except market crashes happens more often
Yee
Gsync for life
Nah
Fuck gsync
Freesync is even better now
Works with both
And doesn't cost like 100€ more
agree
sure but only if the monitor specs you want come on a monitor that only has freesynch
maybe now, been almost 2 years since I got mine
My requirements: QHD or better, 120Hz+, 27-30", terrific display latency, Freesync, good Overdrive performance across the whole VRR range
HDR is a bonus
Freesync2 would be great, too
I'll pay up to ~1k per unit if it hits all the marks
I mean the price in general -.-
Wait nvm
I want the k20 pro but it’s not in the uk yet
Ye but it’s probably gonna be overpriced
i want a mi mix 4 when it's released :p
no headphone jack is rip
otherwise it is pretty nice
except for the lack of decent cases
Hmm there’s a global version of k20
But lacking warranty
So guess that’s a hell not
wait until wednesday at least
No headphone jack isn't instant no from me
A notch is also an instant no
And certain other proprietary technologies are also an instant no like huawei's proprietary SD cards
Why is it so cheap?
because germany has some of the higher electricity costs
We paid 600€ previously
because we had a long running contract
otherwise electricity in germany usually is pretty expensive
which is why nobody mined crypto around here
I pay 3000-4000 🤔
But they're discontinuing the 'night time' plan...
you still had that?
Which is like 15c per kWh
and wow that is a lot
Instead of 34c
I dunno the exact prices atm
34c is a lot
Would have to look them up
I pay 3c/kwh O,o
wat
nigga wut? 
yea we are the most expensive electricity place in europe
my great aunt has cheap electricity with like 18c
Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to stop using nuclear power
idfk
Wtf
Now every horizon is ruined with wind mills
let's go to romania I guess
We have night plans here but not available with old meters like mine
people who did it to appease the masses for clima politic without actually doing something good
for electricity and gigabit
That’s very outdated oh lord
didn't find newe numbers yet
Why isn’t Egypt on there
what
is egypt europe?
Egypt isn't Europe
well in live in a flat, so yea 3c/kwh because when i took the deal 2 years ago eletrcity was cheap
now its 5.5c/kwh

Oh right ye it’s not oops
I live in a flat
380€/month
good lord
with internet and electricity etc
That’s so cheap
greece = egypt 
internet is 100mbit/s

which is good for germany
if the telekom decides to not mess up and I actually have a connection
£985 is still a shit ton
I love my apartment its 74 m2 and 600 euros with sauna and balcony
I got 400/50, which is like the top 1% living outside of a big city
I pay £42 for 100 down
where the fuck do you live nagga?
Boi I had to read that again
i live in funland
hek
Had to take a second glance st Thad yama
Same
@digital cliff need a room mate for a few months?
You'll need a few decades to learn Finnish, few months won't cut it
Ok I’m not moving there
was similar the last few days here
We are moving in with you flem
lan party every day 
mrs fleimi ;O
Count me in :p
so only use it for those people
previous sentence still applies
BOOOOOOOOOOOO micro centers in-store only deals
sadface
Discord is the worst system ever made...except for all the other ones. Like Slack
Lies
It’s the most consumer friendly service out there
They don’t sell our data
Don’t ask for money
And purely rely on donations
No
The servers are shite
Cut them some slack (no pun intended)
They probably don’t even make a profit
Slack? Free? Wut 😄
Ye tbh their ToS is wack
gotta clarify what you mean with that 
I'm very confused
oh
maybe something to do with the higher audio quality that comes with server boosting
dunno enough about linux to say anything about it aside from it most likely being the cause of discord not having unlimited devs to improve the experiences for the smallest userbase
You should make your own alternative to discord
so?
I dont use linux aside from having it on my server so idk what that means
I get that part but I dont get what that means in the context
I'd guess because opengl is widely adopted in the same style but audio stuff isn't?
seems weird to me to hate it especially if you don't understand why they are the way they are 

I mean it's just discord, damn
Speaking of shitty discord severs
Servers
Unlimited characters
Millions of users
Pick one
Because their servers cannot handle shit
^^
You can also choose exactly what’s shared on your screen
hm??
When screen sharing
You can choose to stream exactly what you want
Yes it does
It
Worked
For me last time
I mean
You are using the least common used distros
Like arch is super common
But not a majority
It makes sense to focus on Ubuntu and Debian based distros
IDK if I can choose the app
and Yes , I use Manjaro
i could call and find out for you now
just a few seconds see if it works or not
oook
Elementary OS is very advanced in some ways and very limited in others 
You cna have different resolution AND refresh rate on each monitor
but you cant change the system theme -.-
GG
am I doing this right? I fudged up installing this on Manjaro so many times and I never could get it to work right
;-;
install virtualbox
wait, I have the rt kernel, so should I pick 12 instead?
i hope this works this time -.-
I heard about that
it sounds complicated

I know that is the VM that the Solus devs use, cause its always in their dev report screenshots
i hate my wifi ;-;
Why are you on WiFi
At least you have WiFi right not and not mobile data only 
Yea but how much data
unlimited for 28 days then I need to pay again
Prob more than the 500mb package I have
Well the only time I use my phone not via WiFi is when our internet breaks lmao
So I went with the free phone deal
does downloading things on slow ass wifi make it have issues working?
true
Mages existence = issues
omfh it reached 600kbps for a second!!!!! so amazing
I usually have 120 down and had only 2 issues thisbyear
Go commit mekanism laser
Also im in Germany mage
ooh
hmm oook
Well time to look what games I have installed i guess
Don’t really wanna play Beatsaber at 130 am lmao

Yes good plan with not internet 
o it's back I think 
for now at least
yes let me install a game via steam and not connection 
ye but why would I play something sounding as weird as that now if I have internet again

You sure it's not your wonky USEflags?
How do you do that on stock Android?
Top one
When you do a load speed test on a site and the idle time is.....
jesus XD
testing discord is being fucky
Makes me think, we should make a Wooting two with holes in bottom case
Improves performance by 100%
Moving the chat over here. It's Asetek, @hexed gyro . The company that makes AIO pumps for Corsair and others.
They are basically rebranded OEM parts with fancy decorations on them most of the time.
Asetek are local, and they didn't know what to do with their booth (the LAN had some booths for 3D printing, retro consoles, army recruitment and such) so we offered to help with our PCs. They also helped with parts for s few extra to fill out the booth.
Ironically all of the PC's ended up playing Fortnite to draw in the kids, while we spoke with parents about tech. These were pricy machines with 2080 and i7s

And yes. That's my lovely Wooting One with matching lighting to the PC 
@reef patrol Seen the O11 Dynamic XL yet?
I dont see the need personally. The regular one let me fit a massively thick 360mm radiator, a 240 and technically could fit another thin 360 at the bottom. 11 fans in total, four SSDs and two hard drives.
Well, that's all I need to fit, I guess
At which point does using 2 rads make sense?
Having more than one component to cool, or keeping noise levels down.
Both my 8700K and 2080 are in the loop, and both are overclocked. And having that much radiator real estate (aside from filling a pretty big and empty case and looking cool) let's me out down my fans to around 700-900RPM static, so it doesn't make a lot of sound even at full blow.
Hmm, I'll be running a 3900X (which, let's be honest, will never see more than 30% real life load), and an Radeon VII in the loop
My dad got this for me
You’re so young tho
Im 14
Exactly
Mate
Yos
14 with knives
You’re a serial killer in the making
I got my first when i was 11
He’s a killer in the making
nah
Im gonna order a karambit soon
pls don't
Im dutch
Nah I’m just kidding
FORBID PENS
Wtf
i think it was 15cm

I mean look at this
Never been a boyscout, Callum? I had a knife like that at s much younger age 
No I was in the army cadets instead
Mate put your B.B. gun away
watch out before the cops see you
Its an airsoft
obv
I madw this myself
I was busy playing MMOs at that age
I play osu
unexpected turn of events
I would have expected some stupid shit like LoL or Fortnight
But Osu is pretty cool :p
Fortgay
Minecraft
Dt???
Whatbis that
I play osu
Minecraft pe lite
Mine osu is dutch
Is this any good???
V th f er gdfdr
they call it Razer because after using it for a while you wanna cut your wrists
Harsh 😄
Oof
Excellent
lol
Do you have a pic of the wooting opened currently? I dont want to open it again as I already wore it out
Wore out what exactly
the screws
Ah using cheap tools?
also and also screwing too hard so the plastic inside wore down
so some screws don't work anymore
good enough
Take that with your Nokia?
l
I have one idea ill draw it
I was joking
Current wooting already has holes in it, why not do them on other positions with support going through them
(I am not an engineer)
My mum and why not just keep the iPhone you're borrowing atm I'm sure your sister will let you keep it.
Pretty much me, there's a reason I want a new phone asap
Support like I stated already exists in the form of screws I think
just need more
Sure, I am still pretty sure that if you only make the switches not touch the PCB while keeping the construction very similar is good enough as they wobble less anyways if they are not removable and fix inserted
the issue is, even something "simple" as that probably require retooling etc. which is very expensive
yeah true
from time and money standpoint
Or find a PCB thats quieter lol idk if thats possible
the PCB itself is just loud
Yeah I just wanted to say that the PCB is the main noise creator. I had the pcb standalone and pressing the keys was still as loud
yeah I have no idea at that
didnt work for me
I tried so many things
and making the keys not touch the PCB was the best I found
but then The accuracy got down because the light didnt get the right path anymore
Wait I have an genius idea
Do you belive I can get a simular accuracy out of the lekker switch if I make it higher myself? What I tried on my current Wooting was putting this below the screwn which made them higher and silence the KB instantly
genius idea if the accuracy works better than on the current wooting
I play osu I think that explains everything
Why noise is important
But analog keys are the only useful to me
Yeah Ill wait till someone can test
I am german and I looked it up but thought its wrong translation
lol
I'll wait no matter how long it takes I need my perfect KB xD Already have perfect mouse, screen soon, tablet, table, pc so one of the only pieces left
G pro wireless
Had to replace it for double clicking issues twice though but now its working
@wheat plume what pc is that?
proprietary shit right there
Ignore the dust
You can change it??
Anyway to add an extra HDMI output??
;_;
also no 3.5mm jack lol
probably not a vary large upgrade though
was quite the difference iirc
^
but why would you ever buy alienware
or home media pc in the living room
I bought it cause it was small and cheap
won't get to a similar size tbh
cause I needed to move it around a lot
they are tiny
not anymore though
so that gets rid of zotac
so I could get a full tower now
thats not cheap
true
you could get a haties canyon
i forget the name
o?
^^
close to it though
an itx board is already bigger
if you only care about portability
and can get one for 300-400 used
you could shell out for a zotac system if u had money to burn and wanted something small
and it came with an xbox controller and usb reciever, I was happy with that cause carrying around my previous keyboard was a major hassle
if you wanna spend a lot of money on it go hades canyon
the alpha isn't as expensive as you think
@latent mural why not zotac
hades canyon is better?
haties canyon will get rect by a zotac system with higher specs
well, true
but then you have a much bigger brick
"system a gets rekt by system b if you have higher specs" oh really 
hades canyon is still extremely light and portable
@ashen spindle valid argument in that case
i dont remember
it sbeen a long time
still...vega graphics...going the nvidea route at that point os probably better
at that size and power draw, maybe
and with the current exploites getting released involving intel chips
not very many comparable units though
probbly get an amd cpu as well
@wheat plume listen to linus XD
hedid vods on both hades canyon and many zotac systems as u know
o?
btw @wheat plume what gpu/cpu do you have atm
you can get a i5 4590 without t in there and undervolt it
and change the heatpipe for a bigger one
hmmmmm I see
Why did u leave
I’m using my sisters spare phone till I get a new phone
And so I’m waiting for the k20 launch
Next week
Also night
Go to bed son
you can use custom ringtones too 
I have minecraft hurt.ogg as notification sound
😄
Mmmm
Cleanest status bar ever
It doesn't shows "..." Beside the 4g icon if there are notifications
It does show**
If I get a notification I'll show you
See
The ... On the right
It does if you want it to
This means I have a notification I didn't look at
Oooo xd
True...
Is it easy to unlock the bootloader on that?
Not sure
OakOS interesting
Custom rom!!
Or root it
To try out newer Android versions or get stock Android
What you getting instead?
🤔
Hmmmmm
you can manage nitro on android now
Just like Spotify you can't get nitro without apple taking some of it
Sorry, had a call and didn't send the second part of the message xD
What is the difference between OTF and TTF for font files?
OTF is a more feature rich TTF basically.
hmm, so I should install that version instead of the TTF?
Sure.
Finally sold my phone
huh?
;-;
where tf is the spotify prefs file ;- I cant even find it
it is there.....wtf Spicetify
its a theme thingy for Spotify
the prefs file is EXACTLY WHERE spicetify is looking for it -.-
Why would you theme Spotify
Do you have Spotify maximised all the time?
My eyes.
I wanna use the google theme but idk how to
hehehe got it working
Why
Why though
that is shady
^^
if they didnt pay then remove it
hell no
Current ones are unfair
how is it unfair
they got something that was supposed to be in a higher tier only
so it gets fixed
Exactly
meh
mum wants to "modernise"
tv wise
but none of what she watches is on a service here
and i know she wont use kod
kodi
:
get her a basic smart TV so she can use youtube and still have her existing TV shows

wat
Read it
Electron comes from GitHub, Microsoft now owns GH so it makes kinda sense but also yeah as I said lol UWP is dead
So guys I was gaming and then midway my computer crashes and turns off
It won’t boot
And under recovery it says error code 0xc0000225
I ran a disk check and system file check for my bootdrive and it says nothing is wrong
Time to reinstall Windows I guess.
But muh files
I blame OS X for leading me into a false sense of security
Over the last 9 years of Mac ownership not once has it crashed let alone corrupt itself
During that time I kept redundant backups
And then it never happened
Now I’m 2 years and 9 months into windows ownership and it just goes apeshit and I don’t have a backup to restore to
You uh... don't have to lose any files
You can just install Windows on top of itself. Just like how Macs do it.
Well almost like Macs do. But with a lot fewer restrictions 😄
Are you sure? Don’t I have to reformat the entire boot drive?
Only if it's completely hosed
Windows will let you reinstall on top of an old installation, and simply move your user folders to the side.
I'd always suggest taking backups though 😄
You make an install USB on another Windows PC, if you don't have one already
Yeah I have the iso file loaded on a USB drive
Nope.
As in I can boot from it
You gotta unpack it onto the USB. If you have an .iso file, move it back onto the PC and download Rufus.
Tehn yeah boot it up and go through the installation, just make sure you don't format anything
Ok I’ll try that when I wake up
It’s 5 am and I’ve been trying to fix the problem with console commands
I actually made mine off of a Mac
That is mostly to save time, if he already has the ISO
Otherwise the Creation Tool is the way to go I agree.
Yeah and with a modern UEFI system you can probably get away with just extracting all the files onto the drive
I just used boot camp assist to create a bootable windows USB flash drive
I just use windows creation took
Drive still needs to be formatted properly.
It's never let me down
I didn’t have another windows PC
Games
Before I got a windows pc I’d play some games on a windows boot camp
It kinda worked
But the power was lacking
I’ll try the install thing in like
7 hours
Hopefully I won’t have to redownload a bunch of stuff on my slow ass metered connection
You'll definitely have to...
Is it 10gb
No
Ubiquit doesnt have 10gb appliances
I mean the sfp+ will do 10gbit
But like the router and switch dont support it afaik
Then boooo
Wait what but they did put out the Link app recently on iOS
Welp
I'm happy now
Welp
I'm sad now
Not old I just prefer iOS 10
And don't wanna lose my jailbreak
Like since the first iPad Pro came out
iOS 10 basically
No
I considered a cheap android tablet just for steam link tbh
Using my phone was to small
I have a TV but I hate playing games on it
You mean lazy
And picky
And slightly annoying
I am a bit gutted tbh
Waited so long for steam link to come to iPad
i just dont like ios 11 or 12
and you'd lose your jailbreak
The left one looks like a sick pc case
ngl blower style is the reason that once again the first reviews/cards will perform worse than they could be
The card on the left looks like a developed a kink because somebody leaned on it a little bit too hard
But why have blower style in the first place
only air cooler design that works well with side mounted
Quiet in a blower style card excuse me
that size looks very entry level
Need to watch this when I get home
Blower style works for cases with bad ventilation, where the other style doesn't work
So, it's not optimal under optimal conditions, but it works under the most conditions
Without suffocating the entire computer
Performance looks decent
That's nearly 2070 levels
If it works out that way
tbh they can make a xt 5800
with a bigger die
I don't think they said anything about transistor count
nvm
10.3B
why is tap tunnling such aids
i feel like AMD hasnt revealed their final form
if the 5700xt competes with the 2070
then i expect a 5800 and 5900
considering navi has a much smaller die size, yes
at least it isn't using HBM so it is somewhat affordable
I don't think we'll see a 5800 or 5900 this year
I'd expect a 6800 next year, though
5700 XT is already closer to the VII than expected
Can I get an F for my potentially dead GTX 1080 that’s only 2y9m old?
considering they make a 50th anniversary edition I also think it is unlikely
rip
what happened?
Also, they'd have to give a 5800 XT 16 GiB of memory
And you'd basically end up with another VII
would be a smart move to wait until GDDR6 prices drop
Here I was enjoying the brand new BDL2 Dlc and I crash hard. Screen goes black, artifacts appear, computer shuts off completely, error code 0xc0000225
Or HBM2 prices
I don't think they'll remake the architecture for a different kind of vram
Resets my computer and it’s working again but very laggy
Runs dxdiag and says my GPU is deactivated error code 43
Which is usually a driver issue
Reinstalls driver and boom
Bricked again
Your PSU is fine, I guess?
Yeah everything is fine as long as I don’t install NVIDIA drivers
rip
So yeah likely a dead GPU
I doubt it but I’ve contacted gigabyte
Yeah it’s a big rip
Thankfully I don’t really need my computer for work right now and I can get by on my Mac
But still

Well, just in time for Navi :3
usa has 3 years btw
Did AMD say anything about CPUs?
The basic blower style and I’m in Canada
3400G will be soldered
So rip shipping prices at least
and 16c 32t 3950 x will be 750 usd
Boost clock?
as well as all other prices/clocks
Probably lower than 3900?
3.5ghz/4.7ghz
I’m really hoping amd has something for high end graphics
lower base higher boost
Something to take on the 2080/Ti
so likely only 1 or 2 cores
VII is pretty good, and competes with the 2080
unlikely that they'll release something new rn
VII or navi are slower than the 2080 ti
Yeah and I’m thinking about getting a 2080Ti next
VII is in an especially weird situatuion now
Yeah, the 2080 Ti is too far out
I need to horsepower for my rendering
tbh it is extremely overpriced
But price performance, it's just not worth it
you can get something not that much slwoer for almost half price
Yeah but I really need the performance
How reliable is crossfire
And all the shit
as much as sli
without the ripoff sli bridges
scaling depends heavily on the task though
Breddy good... when it works
But support isn't any better than for SLI, maybe slightly better
Idk I don’t want to run more than one card and I can’t really afford a Quadro 8000
Yeah that’s what the Mac pros have
ye
The Vega II Pro Duo
Crossfire is better than SLI purely from a technological standpoint
Both aren't used enough that software is properly optimised, though
Dunno how the VII compares in rendering tasks, but the 16 GiB HBM2 sure don't hurt
it is more unlikely that it won't happen tbh
It’ll render slower than a 2080ti but it can handle bigger scenes
I wonder if we see sli/crossfire improvements when gpus stop being monolithic designs, if they use similar tech it could benefit as a side effect
the question is when
and it really depends on workload
Vega can destroy a 2080ti in some workloads
The question is if intel will beat them first in gpus before they come back in CPU’s lul
really depends on gmae though
BFV had some weird comparison numbers
where a 2070 would be slower than a vega 56 at some points
ye
it somewhat changed now
but it still favors amd
The better a game is optimised, the more they tend to favour AMD, too
Also wondering how BL3 will run
to bad that games tend to be horribly optimized
BL2 is running like crap, still





THAT is a logo to be proud of
