Anyway, that's OC, in either case
So it should be handled separately

latent mural
#

highest speed on stock ram is 4800 afaik

#

which is xmp

#

and amd boards can use xmp profiles

zenith sonnet
#

XMP is OC

latent mural
#

otherwise you can use the highest jedec

#

which is 3200 now

#

but intel didn't update their plattform for that

zenith sonnet
#

Well, it's not always...

latent mural
#

highest jedec now is 3200

#

it wasn't always

zenith sonnet
#

But going above CPU spec is OC

latent mural
#

intel could patch that

#

but didn't

zenith sonnet
#

Is it that easy?

latent mural
#

when they make a "new"plattform

#

yes

wheat plume
zenith sonnet
#

Well, seems they don't care or need it

latent mural
#

they know everybody uses xmp

#

idfk

#

I could post an update screen every month thanks t osamsung

#

but it ususally doesn't hav eany noticeable changes

#

it has a lot

#

to 9 was a big change on samsung

wheat plume
#

Xiaomi are very vague with their update change logs

latent mural
#

so is everybody

wheat plume
#

You really have to go to the forums to find the real one

latent mural
#

whole ui was different

#

since they finally ditched touchwiz

wheat plume
#

Oh
You mean the upgrade to ONE ui?

latent mural
#

ye

wheat plume
#

Ah

latent mural
#

on my nexus 4 I got like 3 hours of battery life fro ma single update

wheat plume
#

Not with xiaomi
They use beta for new features

latent mural
#

was kitkat i believe

wheat plume
#

Lock screen improvement
Face unlock options to stay on the lock screen after it sees you
Reveal notification details when it sees you
Dark theme
Better animations for the gestures

latent mural
#

well

#

idk what you expect

wheat plume
#

Dark theme and the face unlock options are pretty significant

latent mural
#

go stay on windows 95 then lol

wheat plume
#

They change how you use the phone a lot

#

It's so much nice to be able to look at my lock screen without face unlock unlocking the phone instantly

latent mural
#

I don't usually

#

only for big ones

#

so android version updates

#

nah, they are improvements

wheat plume
#

The beta gives you security patches too

latent mural
#

but incremental ones

wheat plume
#

That's a good idea on it's own to upgrade

#

It's nice to have them

#

Considering this is the only ohoke I ever had that actually kept the software updates

latent mural
#

they change nothing about the experience

wheat plume
#

Phone**

#

I know
But it's secure

#

Yeh
Carriers lock updates I think
At least in MURICA

latent mural
#

carrier phones ewww

wheat plume
#

The recents screen doesn't work when opening it from the home screen

#

Wtf

#

The apps are there i can see them though

#

Wait

#

It was caused by the PiP video I had playing

#

It works now with that gone

#

So strange

zenith sonnet
#

Seems like it's still a thing ๐Ÿค”

latent mural
#

unfortunate

#

maybe scaling above will be better

zenith sonnet
#

That's just latency, though
Raw bandwidth should still increase

latent mural
#

ik

zenith sonnet
#

Anyway, 5000MHz kits, when?

latent mural
#

soon i think?

#

we have 4800 already

zenith sonnet
#

Weirdly, there was a huge drop in latency f4om 2666 to 3200
But almost none from 3200 to 3733

latent mural
#

4800 also looks decent

zenith sonnet
latent mural
#

unfortunatley trident z royal

#

it isn't discord

#

android recognizes every number as a telephone number

zenith sonnet
#

Can I disable that shit?

latent mural
#

don't think so

zenith sonnet
#

Android, pls grow up
It's 2019, nobody calls any more

#

And most definitely not from random numbers in chats

wheat plume
#

It's not doing that for me Yam

#

Wait
Wrong person

#

But I don't have that happen

timid chasm
#

same

wheat plume
#

Are you on stock Android ? @zenith sonnet

zenith sonnet
#

Nope, Stock OxygenOS

wheat plume
#

Hmm
Ok

#

I don't know much about that

pale sigil
#

OK that's bad

timid chasm
#

bad guy?

pale sigil
#

Went to bed (4:30am) the battery was 70 something % and some up it's 51% (12:20pm)

timid chasm
#

time for a new phoooone!

pale sigil
#

This is literally a brand new phone one day old

timid chasm
#

time for a return!

pale sigil
#

On my eyes are fucking with me it's 58%

wheat plume
#

oo

pale sigil
#

Still though

#

Hmm

wheat plume
#

you can make the battery percent bigger

#

put it beside the icon instead

pale sigil
#

What's causing this

wheat plume
#

limit background apps

#

you can enable like only 3 background processes in the developer options

pale sigil
#

Nvm

wheat plume
#

or use the battery settings and choose apps

pale sigil
#

I left my Vpn on

wheat plume
#

ooo

#

welp

#

wait now my screenshots are potato

#

wtf

pale sigil
#

I don't get that option

wheat plume
#

oh?

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

oh, wtf that is strange

#

btw, im jealous, you have an always on display

#

cause its amoled screen

pale sigil
#

Which I'll probably never use

wheat plume
#

-.-

#

I guess it makes sense on the pixel, it can show the songs thats playing

pale sigil
#

I'm way to paranoid about screen burn xD

wheat plume
#

does that happen on amoled?

timid chasm
#

โค Now Playing

wheat plume
#

yeh that

pale sigil
#

Yes

wheat plume
#

I miss the colored notifications for when you are playing music on your phone, MIUI doesnt have those ;-;

#

its just that off shade of white

pale sigil
#

Happened to my friends s7 and its always made me paranoid

wheat plume
#

wow

wheat plume
#

The Zenphone 6 has two motherboards

#

whut why

latent mural
#

better usage of space

wheat plume
#

hmm

latent mural
#

and you can use the pcb as a heatsink

#

which works pretty well

feral jolt
#

Do you not use it or something

ashen spindle
#

you slept for a week?

feral jolt
#

I use discord on my phone at work

#

This kills the battery

wheat plume
earnest osprey
#

Bluetooh is the killer

#

Always on display too

#

Always on is nice tho, so I just put it upside down when I don't need it

timid chasm
#

My bt isn't too bad. It stays on along with spotify running for 6 hrs at a time and intermittent use through the night and I may lose 25-40% depending on my use

#

don't use always on though

earnest osprey
#

If I have Bluetooth off, display off, discord the only background app, it will lose at most 1-2% overnight

#

I once left always on and bluetooth with nothing other than discord running, at least 30% drain doing nothing.

pale sigil
#

I'm gonna keep an eye on it ofc

latent mural
#

wtf

zenith sonnet
#

What's dat?

latent mural
#

apex pro

#

apparently only some switches get the omnipoint switch

#

and all others get their red clone switch

#

and apparently the omnipoint switch is pretty smooth

#

which jsut shows how bad the others are

feral jolt
#

why wouldnt they put omni on the arrow keys?

#

i can understand the other keys

pale sigil
#

found this pic from a few weeks ago

#

Ehhhhh

feral jolt
#

I think I'm gonna order the g pro wireless

pale sigil
#

expensive oof

latent mural
#

get g305 reee

pale sigil
#

to small

latent mural
#

i have 20x10 hands

#

and it is the right size for me

zenith sonnet
#

Get whatever, just needs to be a Logitech with Hero sensor and Lightspeed wireless
Everything* else on the market is crap

latent mural
#

there are good wired mice

#

but logitech wireless is very good

#

the g305 is just like a third the price of the gpw

zenith sonnet
#

What's the GPW now?

latent mural
#

idk

#

110 euro

#

g305 is 40

zenith sonnet
#

Got mine for 90โ‚ฌ
Look for rabate codes ๐Ÿค”

latent mural
#

got mine for 107 shortly after release

#

not worth imo

#

since i prefer the g305

zenith sonnet
#

Hmm, never used the 305

#

I also got mine pretty soon after release

pale sigil
#

Great price

feral jolt
#

yeah ill probably just get the g305 u rite

#

i am claw gripper so mouse size isnt that big of a deal since i barely touch it anyway

#

and i really dont want the 502 or 903 that have too many buttons and cracks for hand grease to build up in

#

thats what turned me off from the glorious model O is that cleaning all those holes would be awful

#

simplicity is better

#

Another big plus for the 305 is the battery life

#

I'd say I'm a heavy user and 60 hours on a g pro internal battery would likely start diminishing significantly within a couple years

wheat plume
#

cute doggo ๐Ÿ˜„

zenith sonnet
#

@latent mural btw, my hands are 20x11.5

latent mural
#

i have 20x10

#

prefer the g305 a lot

#

don't like the gpw for gaming

zenith sonnet
#

I'd ve interested in a mouse with 1 more button

#

Also, I wonder why we don't have more mice with three full buttons, like the G600

latent mural
#

rival 600?

#

or what do you mean

#

just use gshift btw

zenith sonnet
#

Logitech G600

#

It was the most comfortable mouse I've used yet

#

But the sensor...

wheat plume
#

anyone know how to make ElementaryOS change volume on my speakers instead of the hdmi sound output automatically on startup?? It plays audio through the speakers but doesnt control the volume for them.

wheat plume
#

in pavucontrol, if I want my mic to work I have to set it as an output too :/

#

so it controls the mic output volume by default but plays audio through the speakers

#

whenI turn on the PC, it plays the audio through my speakers but when I want to change volume it thinks the microphone is an audio output and changes the volume for that instead of the speakers

#

so I must go to sound settings and select my speakers as the sound output

#

i know...

#

the buttons on my keyboard

#

this is the only OS i had this issue on

#

they were off always

#

I didnt touvh those

#

the buttons on my mouse work for media controls

#

hmm

#

right

#

idk what else would be picking them up

#

I just know that my mouse buttons (the ones I assigned to act as media buttons a while ago) work fine

#

same

#

character limit ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

hang on

#

wrong order...

#

its set up the way i want it to be when I turn on the PC

#

Yup

#

the audio device that plays audio is the Chroma speakers, but the volume changes on the microphone

#

and when I go into sound settings the microphone is selected as the sound output

#

ah....

#

I see

#

i havent changed keybindings at all

#

they are off

#

what OS you use?

#

they always have for me except on Manjaro i3

#

odd :/

#

and the media buttons on my mouse always worked too except again on Manjaro i3

#

Manjaro anythiing else they worked on

#

Gnome, plasma, mate

#

I guess, also I think for the media keys , the mouse sends commands directly to the OS or whatever

#

cause I dont need software for those prgrammed keys to work

#

I hope Manjaro i3 works with my speakers, cause last time I could never get it to work with my bluetooth speaker

#

cause I wanna go back to i3

#

so badly

#

I tried to install the Regolith Linux PPA, it installed and I logged into the Regolith session and nothing happened, I immedaitely got logged out again

#

but the theme on my main desktop was changed and the wallpaper too the the regolith default theme and wallpaper

#

Odd

#

im using ElementaryOS, who knows what they have done

#

it uses its own Pantheon desktop :PP

#

my friend is complaining that Chrome doesnt have a dark theme

I then send her a screenshot of chrome being in its dark theme

#

<insert suprised Pikachu image>

feral jolt
#

told my friend to do a little pea for the thermal paste on his first build

#

and he sends me this ๐Ÿ˜‚

ashen spindle
#

I mean looks fine, but I'd ask him what kind of peas he's eating doodleKek

earnest osprey
#

Just tell him to spread it out and wipe some of the excess if needed

ashen spindle
#

nah pressure from mounting the cooler spreads it good enough

earnest osprey
#

it really doesn't

#

tends to make a couple degrees difference

#

spreading it out manually is more important that the amount

timid chasm
#

It'd be worth 10 degrees, imo. Not so much for 2 or 3 unless you're hitting high temps already

earnest osprey
#

It takes like 30 sec to spread it out..

#

I will take a free cooling upgrade for 30 sec of my time

timid chasm
#

But it's basically negligible unless you're already at high temps

earnest osprey
#

It's nice to be absolutely sure that the whole ihs is covered with an even layer, though

timid chasm
#

I guess. Not sure whyd it'd matter though for 99% of users

earnest osprey
#

considering the amount of arguing that goes on about thermal paste amount,

#

it might be useful for people to know that it doesn't matter if you do it right by spreading it out

#

Let's be honest, the people that are concerned about thermal paste amount would take that extra time

timid chasm
#

"do it right" is highly subjective though

feral jolt
still cave
#

Ouch

#

That hurts to look at

latent mural
#

Actually nothing hurting about it

feral jolt
#

Fractal design core 500 is pretty badass

#

Fit a full size GPU, CPU cooler, and power supply in a box about the size of a shoebox for boots

zenith sonnet
#

There have been plenty of tests
Dot or surface spread end up within one degree of another, if done correctly
Pea size has a chance to not cover the edges, spread has a chance for air bubbles

latent mural
#

slightly bigger pea is bae

timid chasm
#

Didn't Linus and gn both test a bunch of ridiculous thermal methods?

zenith sonnet
#

DerB8uer did the most conclusive testing of pastes, I think
And there was one test about which of 8 methods was the best

solar hinge
#

i thought you just empty a whole small tube per cooler install :p

fair gull
#

@zenith sonnet Der8auer

reef patrol
#

I've always done peas like shown above with zero problems. Heck I use more for my loop to ensure good contact across the entire top.

latent mural
#

Yeah

#

Doesn't really affect performance

zenith sonnet
#

Prio 1 is to make sure as much of the surface as possible is covered
Prio 2 is to make sure the layer is as thin as possible
Mounting pressure with adequate viscosity should make sure of that

latent mural
#

As long as you don't use obviously unreasonable amounts

zenith sonnet
#

How much performance gain is to be expected if you use actively chilled water to keep the CPU at 30ยฐC instead of 50 under full load?

#

Does that give you another 100 or 200Mhz OC?

solar hinge
#

we usually ask you these kind of questions...

zenith sonnet
#

๐Ÿค”

#

3950X was able to hit 5.1GHz all core at - 150ยฐC
I can't tell how much of that is to be attributed to the voltage, and how much to the lower temperature

#

Ryzen overclocking is going to be different though
All core OCs are a thing of the past

feral jolt
#

depends on the chip really

#

if you get a lucky bin you can probably get more than 200 mhz out of 20c

earnest osprey
#

Making the temp so low tends to help with hotspots

#

Average temp might be fine, but a small group of transistors might locally overheat, causing an oc to fail

latent mural
#

Also helps with powerdraw

#

Getting durable thermal compound is the problem

zenith sonnet
#

Kryonaut not good enough?

feral jolt
#

I hear LN2 is a good thermal compound

earnest osprey
#

I mean, the best is a direct soldered water block

#

excluding ln2

feral jolt
#

Man I should make a liquid co2 drip cooling system

#

Liquid co2 is so cheap I can get it for free

pale sigil
#

Much better

#

Dips were ignoring my alarm xD

earnest osprey
#

I just constantly keep my phone between 50-60 if I can

zenith sonnet
#

@feral jolt How do you get CO2 to be liquid?

#

You could also just get a peltier element to cool the water

#

Well, it's probably better to use a compressor

earnest osprey
#

Peltier isn't really meant for anything that isn't both low heat output and extremely tight on space.

#

It's also good for things where maintaining a thermal threshold is more important than removing heat from the system

#

Like small refrigerated spaces

#

Definitely not the case for a cpu, it's allowed to get a bit warm as long as you get the heat away

zenith sonnet
#

I'm aware it's not particularly efficient
There are options that are way more energy efficient

earnest osprey
#

The main issue for the cpu situation is the thermal runaway

#

Since peltier gets less efficient the more heat there is to dissipate, which is the opposite of what heat pipes or water cooling does.

zenith sonnet
#

You would, if anything, use it to cool the water flowing to the CPU
It's not a good idea to cool the CPU directly that way

earnest osprey
#

It might be useful to tightly control the water temperature

#

But then you need a bigger radiator

#

Could be viable if you have room for those rads

zenith sonnet
#

Room is rarely the problem
If you need more, get an O11 Dynamic XL

wheat plume
#

You can no longer use ANYTHING 32 bit on the next Ubuntu

#

Fuck you
That literally makes gaming non existent

pale sigil
#

Just don't upgrade

zenith sonnet
#

Most games drop 32bit support/clients nowadays, because it's not worth the effort to keep them running for less than 2% non 64bit capable systems

wheat plume
#

That's not my point

My point is that most new people to linux will always go for ubuntu
And if you can't fucking install steam
They won't give linux a try

#

And Arch and manjaro won't be too everyone's liking

#

So the people who already play in ubuntu will either have to switch to Debian or Arch or Solus or fedora

ashen spindle
#

long term support version will still support 32bit and it also shouldnt bee too hard for steam to make a 64bit version

#

then again steam doing extra effort doesnt seem likely

wheat plume
#

Linux mint is based on Ubuntu
It'll have the same issues

#

Every distro forked from Ubuntu will unless the devs try to find a way to keep support for the 32 bit libraries

#

I saw 5 people already on Reddit spout bullshit towards manjaro saying they get 15fps in games compare Ubuntu where they had 100 fps

Then everyone bashed them asking if they installed the Nvidia drivers ahah

#

Or Solus
Solus is amazing for gaming on

#

I used the gnome edition for almost a year

ashen spindle
#

laughs from his windows pc

wheat plume
#

Have fun with your bloated and spy filled OS

ashen spindle
#

can't really do anything about it if I need to work on windows anyway vvShrug

wheat plume
#

Idk much about nouveau drivers

#

When you load manjaro up from USB you have this menu that shows up before the live environment begins to load up
You can select to use non free drivers here and then it'll install the Nvidia drivers when you install the OS

#

Hold up
Did you install Gentoo on your own?

#

Or use something like Sabayon?

#

You spent hours installing it??

#

Woah damn

#

:O

#

What desktop you choose?

#

Ahhh

#

I see

#

What suite of apps then?

#

Ahh

#

Palemoon is the default browser for Manjaro i3

#

shudders

#

It is....

#

Chrome and Firefox work perfectly fine on i3

#

And I haven't tested any other browser

#

I'd like to see how surf would handle it

#

Let me guess
You use text based browser?

#

I feel the same way
But you kinda need a m mouse in a browser
So all those people who use i3 have to deal with a mouse for that xxd

#

Oh
You are a systemD hater

#

I just went back to Plasma today

#

It seems smoother when playing Minecraft than last time

#

There is no frame stuttering

#

Not laggy

#

But stuttery when moving the mouse but not due to lag

#

Not on gnome
Playing Minecraft on gnome desktop is so damn smooth I got nothin sickness once

#

Motion**

#

Nearly felt like vomiting

#

And never any screen tearing

#

The game was so smooth that the movement make me really dizzy

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

I had enabled vsync on the Nvidia settings also
So it was kinda locking the system to 60fps but it didn't lock the game to 60
But it felt like it was locked to 60

#

May have been head bobbing

#

But I always leave that option on

#

This was the only time it made me dizzy

#

When playing it on gnome

#

Even jumping was so smooth

#

3.32 is a great gnome upgrade

#

Because I used gnome a lot over the years and I never had that happen before

#

I get motion sick if I'm doing anything in a car other can driving or looking at the road when being a passenger

#

Other than**

#

I start feeling light headed like I could fall over if I move around too much in a moving car

#

If I read or on my phone

#

I think if you have perfect smooth 60fps in games it may cause a bit of dizzyness

#

Because you aren't used to seeing something so perfectly smooth all the time

#

Idk the reason behind it

#

That's my explanation

#

If I had a better PC I would get a higher refresh rate screen for it and see if I get dizzy from that or not

#

Cause with my current PC I can't push 60fps in most of the games I own

#

And you can't lower the resolution on ultrawide

#

There is no lower 21:9 resolution than 2560*1080

ashen spindle
#

I mean you could restrict it to a smaller format and then have lower reolution

wheat plume
#

I have become addicted to 21:9 xd

#

It's great for games

#

And for having two apps side by side

#

Yeh...

#

I hear that awesome window manager is really great at taking advantage of double monitor setups

#

It's apparently the best window manager for that

#

But the rest are good too

feral jolt
#

what about those 49" ultrawides tho

earnest osprey
#

kind of dumb really

#

My setup is a 21:9 + a 16:9

feral jolt
#

yeah i have a 3440x1440 and love it

earnest osprey
#

1440p both

#

16:9 one is 165 hz gsync

zenith sonnet
#

I can tell you from experience
If you get nauseous in a game, you have one of two problems:
a lot of button to photon delay (like its caused by vsync, GPU thread lag, etc)
or unsteady camera movement (can be headbob, microstutter, unoptimised featues,...)

Higher refresh rate universally helps reduce thr issue

pale sigil
#

I get dizzy on some games

crimson wigeon
#

Just don't get motion sick looool

pale sigil
#

That's what's weird

#

VR im perfectly fine

#

But some games outside of VR not remotely

zenith sonnet
#

VR only works with incredibly low latency, so devs need to make sure of that
Maybe that's why it works better for you

wheat plume
#

I have only tried VM for 20 minutes at a convention

#

I felt fine in it

#

and it was very responsive

pale sigil
#

You mean VR

wheat plume
#

yeh

#

oops!

pale sigil
#

I don't have my VR headset anymore :p

wheat plume
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

zenith sonnet
#

Things I hate is stuff like GPU smoothing frames or thread lag
Buffers between the CPU and the GPU to achieve more consistent frame times by indroducing additional lag to compensate for CPU frame time variance

#

Vsync, of course, is just horrid

#

Windowed and Borderless modes indroduce additional latency due to DWM

wheat plume
#

dwm is a window manager on Linux

zenith sonnet
#

Windows also has one

wheat plume
#

yeh

zenith sonnet
#

It has built-in Vsync

#

Fuck that shit

wheat plume
#

ooh

#

it doesnt though, I had terrible screen tearing in games on Windows :/

zenith sonnet
#

It doesn't prevent tearing within the windows themselves
Just from the desktops POV

wheat plume
#

oh...

zenith sonnet
#

So your desktop, window frames, etc, those don't tear

wheat plume
#

true

zenith sonnet
#

It does add about 1.5 frames of latency in Borderless, and even more in Windowed modes

feral jolt
#

i guess the windows store game pass beta is now 1 dollar

#

im downloading metro exodus right now

#

its 1 dollar for the first month then 4.99 a month for 100 games that rotate each month

pale sigil
#

It was always 1 doller

#

Since announced

feral jolt
#

oh. i just heard about it

#

im likely going to cancel after my 1 dollar month

ashen spindle
#

well before it was an xbox pass not the pc pass

crimson wigeon
#

no, DWM renders the entire desktop vsync'd, so window content does not tear

#

If it does your system is broken

pale sigil
#

Reee my brightness keeps changing every 5 seconds

#

@wheat plume help

wheat plume
#

you got auto brightness on xd

pale sigil
#

No

#

That's the weird thing

wheat plume
#

i am confused

pale sigil
#

Just constantly changing like a flash

wheat plume
#

? wtf

pale sigil
#

Also if was an accident so I unpinned

wheat plume
#

ahh

#

go into display settings, and try to turn on reading mode

pale sigil
#

No luck

#

I'll take a video when I get back

wheat plume
#

ook, thats a strange one

pale sigil
#

This makes me sad because mine was a failure

wheat plume
#

i have the most basic ass mech keyboard and I am mostly happy with it

#

that said, Wooting . I want one ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

I love the look of those low profile mech keyboard, the ones with mech switches but flat keycaps

#

HNNNGGG

earnest osprey
#

The flat keys with no space in between lol

feral jolt
#

What like a standard laptop keyboard? But with mech switches?

wheat plume
#

kinda looks like that I guess

but the key switches are exposed kinda cause of the low profile case too

YESS that!

they so pretty

latent mural

yoo bad they suck

earnest osprey

I heard it's really annoying to type on

wheat plume

how do they suck? they are normal mech switches

latent mural
#

no keyspace

#

they aren't

#

it's low profile switches

wheat plume
#

boiz, I type on a laptop all the time and I am really fdast at it

#

i am on one now

earnest osprey

It's really easy to miss hit

latent mural
#

the problem are the caps in that case

feral jolt
#

Yeah but aesthetics are more important amirite Smug

wheat plume

xd

#

thats why I use Linux

#

no jk

#

Linux is great for work too

latent mural

the roccat vulkan has similar caps

but theirs have more keyspace

When I was a kid I imagined linux to look like windows command prompt

how old you now?

feral jolt

26

latent mural

it kinda is nowadays, if you use vanilla linux

wheat plume
#

yeh it was basically that when you were a kid

xd

#

it still is if you install arch without a desktop or window manager

feral jolt
#

Well my friend made a linux comp like 10 years ago and the UI looked great and that's when I got learned

He smart. He told me I needed to spend all my money on bitcoin NOW around that same time

latent mural

oof

feral jolt
#

I had 500 dollars in my bank

wheat plume

hmmm how is bitcoin doing?

feral jolt

If I listened I'd never work another day in my life

Back then bitcoins were around 3 cents

Now bitcoin is fluctuating between 5-10k

what is the difference between the 121,120,100 and 80 AIMO keyboards?

latent mural

the 121 is dark

wheat plume

its just color???

welp

latent mural

the last digit is color

#

the 80 is not rgb

wheat plume

hmm ok

latent mural

and the 100 jsut has no wristrest i believe

they are all tactile btw

better than mx brown

Razer Synapse cant find my speakers.... -.- even on Windows

it did ONCE but never again

#

so now I cnat change the rbg on the base of them

#

fun times

latent mural
#

that is what you get for buying razer lol

wheat plume
#

I like the design and sound quality

#

and im ok with the breathing effect for the rgb, but I wanna make it trans colored xd

#

cause I wanna do that on my mouse too

#

cant do it on my keyboard, that only has blue lights -.-

latent mural
#

do they work with project aurora?

wheat plume
#

was dat?

latent mural
#

rgb programm

wheat plume
#

idk

latent mural
#

is compatible with many rgb products

wheat plume
#

i see

latent mural
#

like razer logitech wooting etc

wheat plume
#

if the software designed to work with razer cannot find my razer speakers then idk if that will find them either -.-

latent mural
#

it is

#

since synapse is buggy af it could still work

wheat plume
#

I see

#

OpenRazer didnt work either though

latent mural
#

rip

wheat plume
#

wait could it because they plugged into usb 2?

latent mural
#

unlikely

wheat plume
#

because I use USB 3 for my kb and mouse

latent mural
#

rgb doesn't need high bandwith

#

why?

wheat plume
#

maybe thats why the software cant find them

#

unlikely cause the OS knows the exact model that they are

latent mural
#

razer kek

wheat plume

xd

#

i like the sound KK

#

and they work really well in games

#

I can hear where things are around me really good

did you see the news that we most likely hear more about Super on 2/6 ?

#

with the target for release being 6/7 so a day before amd

wheat plume
#

^^^

#

I feel so sorry for Mojang ;-;

#

Needing to code Minecraft in it all day everyday

pale sigil
#

I don't feel sorry for mojang

#

They could easily stop it if they wanted

#

But they know they'll lose money

#

No sane person buys windows 10 Mc

#

It is

#

Also it's not windows only but I, pretty sure you can't use that license on all platforms

#

I misunderstood

#

I thought hours meant windows only as In mp

wheat plume
#

No, The language used in Bedrock was decided by Microsoft

#

Mojang dont control that version

#

I tihnk so

#

@proud nacelle You can install the Android version of Bedrock on Linux :DD It works FLAWLESSLY on Manjaro :DD

pale sigil
#

I'm saying that no sain person would buy w10 edition

#

You lose out on so much

wheat plume
#

It takes forever to install but it works ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Yes

#

It works with the Bedrock versions also

#

it is a Bedrock version

pale sigil
#

There's been a mc android for years

wheat plume
#

i think

#

^^^ Yes literally years

pale sigil
#

Correct

wheat plume
#

mm when it was first made

#

it supports behaviour packs which is a close as you can get on Bedrock

pale sigil
#

It never will support mods

wheat plume
#

they change mobs and things

pale sigil
#

Yes and you have to pay

#

$$$$

#

Windows 10 edition is a scam

#

Which is why java edition still rules

#

Alll java edition owners get bedrock

#

There's a reason

#

No one uses it

wheat plume
#

BTW, to fully use the Android Minecraft port on Linux, you need to log into the launcher with your google account for it to make sure you own the game on Android

#

and of you wanna play with friends and have all the shit you bought on the store you need to login to the game with yuor microsoft account

#

It doesnt crash for me

#

unless I mess up with shaders

#

ah xd

#

Ok

#

:PP

pale sigil

He's salty cos he has potato ram

#

228 mods to be specific

wheat plume
#

i have 8gb ram -.-

#

I give minecraft 3GB ram

pale sigil
#

lol we need 6gig min for the pack

#

I'd say

#

It's a you problem

wheat plume
#

at least you dont wanna use Pulchra , that resource pack wants 40GB of GPU ram and 256GB of system RAM

#

it is something mad like 2048x2048 resolution

ikr

#

you can get lower res versions of it too

It can have two HDMI out but my PC only as one ;_;

I am aware that basically no routers can handle their rated speeds.

#

But I figure the new rpi is probably faster than the compute in most routers.

zenith sonnet
#

They should all the able to handle their rated speeds, the ethernet chip should be able to handle it alone
The difficulty comes from trying to manage the data stream, which 99% of routers can't even do (properly)

earnest osprey

Good thing the pi is very configurable

Most routers don't do very high speeds on the WAN side. If you have fiber, you need to be aware of this bcaCoy2EvilPlans

i drilled holes in my house and got wired internet to my room

I did that po in my old apartment. This one has ducts, for blowing/pulling cables through. But the WiFi is good enough for casual gaming for right now. Got furniture to build first monkaS

Yeah my wifi is perfectly fine for gaming. But downloading games at 8x the speed is nice

We've taped many meters of ethernet cables to our floors to wire up our flat

Gaming on wifi is easily managed if you use a phone app and find the unused channels

Steady connection with no interference is all you need. The total up/down is relatively smol

So Intel announced Integer Scaling coming to Gen11 which is the Graphics used in the next intel CPU's

#

so we kinda know a release window for them through that lol

latent mural
#

we don't really have outside walls everywhere

#

my flat has a really weird layout

#

yea

#

makes sense

feral jolt
#

too bad intel doesnt make real GPUs

#

intel iX-109 iT when

ashen spindle
#

I mean they do, we'll get them next year

#

but its nice to see them listening to community feedback that amd/nvidia ignored for years

#

didn't expect it from intel but it's a good sign for the graphics stuff aside from raw hardware performance

#

nothing huge, unless you can make use of it, intel said drivers in August will allow integer scaling on their gen11 graphics

#

but then again, Intel listening to feedback and implementing stuff I guess is huge lul

#

integer scaling

#

I'll find the reddit post 1 sec

#

first post after the sticky

plush summit
#

That's a good idea

#

I don't know why it hasn't been done

ashen spindle
#

dont think anyone can tell you why not

#

Yes? Next year is the release for the consumer cards

#

Bc thatโ€™s kinda old news by now

#

Thatโ€™s why I wasnโ€™t sure if you meant something else

zenith sonnet
#

Lol
That thread reads like
'Pls give us Nvidia cards at lower price'

#

I don't think intel will be truly relevant on the GPU market unless they keep going until their second revision of the graphics driver

ashen spindle
#

didnt read anything aside that first post lul

#

bc reddit makes me lose braincells

#

and based on how many people they hired for the gpu devision it's certainly not a "here have this and if its not good we're out"

zenith sonnet
#

Their drivers are still years behind everyone else's though
And as we know, GPU drivers are half the story

spark horizon

and knowing is half the battle

wheat plume

this is really cool

zenith sonnet
#

Wait

#

Wasn't there supposed to be more on Nvidia Super on 21.06. ?

feral jolt
#

They "leaked" prices

ashen spindle
#

21.06 was just a rumour, but 02.07 seems more likely now

#

bc next rumor says 06.07. is the release date, so they have it a day before amd

zenith sonnet
#

That just be... I don't recall the word..

ashen spindle
#

?

feral jolt
#

it would make sense to release the same day as amd cpus

#

then people doing new builds would grab a nvidia gpu and a amd cpu

zenith sonnet
#

Well, true

#

Even PC building guides start to say 'intel is done for, buy AMD at any tier' already

ashen spindle
#

which is stupid lmao

#

as much as I think this will be a great launch, recommending anything before reviews is dumb

feral jolt
#

the tables have turned, intel 14nm is the new bulldozer. im predicting it will become cheap enough to stay competitive

latent mural
#

maybe

#

we don't know yet

#

but it is unlikely that intel has a secret desktop chip

#

and the 9900k psuhes 14nm desktop at it's limit

feral jolt
#

back in 2013 i paid 140 dollars for a bulldozer fx8350 + motherboard combo and had no regrets. even though it was shitty it was best performance per dollar

ashen spindle
#

they do, the 9900KS pepeXd

latent mural
#

the 9900KYS

#

also kills your wallet

#

for worse performance

#

if the leaked ryzen 3000 numbers are true

feral jolt
#

intel might just abandon the desktop cpu market for a couple years

latent mural
#

unlikely

#

they still have the bigger market share

#

and especially on server AMD could destroy them

#

with more cores

feral jolt
#

i just dont see them having a good hand to play here so i expect them to fold

latent mural
#

Epyc rome seams to be great

feral jolt
#

no sense in manufacturing cpus at a loss

latent mural
#

they still sell

#

because of fanboys

#

that say "I won't buy AMD"

#

"I had a laptop with AMD once, it was terrible"

#

when they had some mobile bulldozer with integrated graphics etc

feral jolt
#

the game has changed and idiots can google whats the best processor and amd will come up

ashen spindle
#

a slight loss would still be worth it, just to keep the marketshare so once sunny cove or whatever comes and is good people can stay with the same company

latent mural
#

still are fanboys

#

yea

#

imagine having to buy a new plattform for every new high end chip

feral jolt
#

yeah but how many people do you know that are diehard fanboys. might account for 10% of the market share

latent mural
#

even though the last 4 used the same socket

#

10% of the market share is more than enough to survive on it

#

amd never gave up on it

ashen spindle
#

sure but the other 90% are not people who google on their own to find whats best

latent mural
#

even though bulldozer was really terrible at the end

ashen spindle
#

the vast majority relies on what they heard for the last years, or buys pre build for whatever their money gets them and looks fancy

feral jolt
#

bulldozer was a good buy because they sold them at like 15% margins lol

latent mural
#

they were too slow at the end

#

not bad for the 100โ‚ฌ they cost

#

but too weak to be relevant imo

feral jolt
#

i was able to play a lot of games at 1080p 60hz ultra without issue on bulldozer

latent mural
#

can still buy the wraith edition for 64โ‚ฌ

#

not saying they can't perform well for most games

#

but they usually bottleneck a modern gpu in most titles

feral jolt
#

yeah it does suck though. my friend has a fx-6300 and is broke and im trying to convince him to grab a 3770k or something for a cheap upgrade.

#

3770k has a 60% faster single core speed

latent mural
#

is the 3770k cheap now?

#

i remember it being like 200โ‚ฌ used when I got my 6600k

why would anybody buy now

just wait 2 weeks until prices drop

he could easily save 100-150โ‚ฌ

if not more

feral jolt

hes selling chips for like 50-70 usd

#

for those old ones

3xxx's and 4xxx's

has a stockpile of ddr3 and mobos to go with it

latent mural

would only buy ddr3 ecc

feral jolt

hes also got server stuff too

#

old xeons from that era

#

im thinking of asking him for a little something to put together a streaming rig

latent mural
#

they have to handle encoding well

feral jolt
#

shouldnt have any problem with a 3770k encoding right?

#

i was also planning on getting a capture card if that makes any difference

#

Oh btw got that g305 today

#

It's a lot bigger than I expected

Ye olde m65 feels very similar

the wireless advantage is huge though

latent mural

G305 is great

It was just a little to small for me however

I will only upgrade again, when I can get a 40% uplift on performance from my undervolted/overclocked + sharpened timings Vega 56, which is basically 6-10% faster in games than the Gtx 1080 at stock. All that for under 350โ‚ฌ, which is what I paid for my Powercolor "Red Devil" Vega 56. So I assume we will get that in two generations, since AMD and nVidia seem to be dead set on shifting mid range GPUs 150โ‚ฌ above what you had to pay before the mining boom. This market is a shitshow currently

ashen spindle
#

40% uplift in performance what

exotic rune
#

what I said

#

my next GPU has to have 40% performance more

#

than my Vega 56 overclocked + undervolted with sharpened timings

ashen spindle
#

oh I thought you meant your 56 got 40% more performance after it lmao

exotic rune

lol

#

no XD

I got 16-18% more performance on top of the stock performance out of it

@urban salmon I approve of the PONPONPON

pale sigil
fallow bison
#

oh no

wheat plume
#

it takes in 3 values from the user and detirmines things about what type of triangle and if its right angled, but it has to check if its a triangle first

ashen spindle
#

how do you figure out that its a triangle from 3 floats monkaHmm

#

wouldn't you at least need 3 vec2 or whatever it is for that?

#

oh wait is that sidelengths?

wheat plume
#

yeh its side length

#

but its just floats in terms of the code

ashen spindle
#

okay makes more sense than 3 1D points in space lul

wheat plume
#

yeh xd

#

I am really bad at switch loops, but that might be the only way to move the output statements to a new method?

ashen spindle
#

I mean a switch case is basically the same as a list of if options

wheat plume
#

whut

ashen spindle
#

and since you wouldn't switch based on a single variable but a result, idk if it would even be better for optimization

wheat plume
#

its a console app, idk if we need optimisation ๐Ÿ˜‚

ashen spindle
#

well a switch case takes an argument and depending on what it is, it does something, so you basically have a lot of "if(argument == case)"

wheat plume
#

how do I implement this in another method from the returns of this checker method?

ashen spindle
#

not sure what you mean, a different way to check what it is?

#

or as in making it a string function and returning the string?

wheat plume
#

I want to move all the System.out statements to a different method

ashen spindle
#

yea make it return a string instead of void

wheat plume
#

then I need a switch in the main method?

ashen spindle
#

I mean you can do it that way, but you could just make it like this System.out.println(checker(x,y,z));

wheat plume
ashen spindle
#

yup

wheat plume
#

ok ๐Ÿ˜„ lemme try

#

hmm, but the method call for checker is in main

ashen spindle
#

and you dont want the system.out in main?

wheat plume
#

I dont want it in checker

ashen spindle
#

oh yeah then this should be fine

wheat plume
#

then call output from main instead?

ashen spindle
#

ehh you could also just call it directly in main?

#

if you have the float values there, idk the entire code

timid chasm
#

You're assuming the sides are connected?

#

that's an assumption you have to make I mean

wheat plume
#

there is a math rule to check if 3 lengths, if joined, will form a triangle

#

if they all cant join together it isnt one

timid chasm
#

anything with 3 sides is a triangle though

wheat plume
#

not really, if you go by side length

timid chasm
#

hows that

#

if something has 3 sides and those sides are connected that is a triangle

ashen spindle
#

if I give you 1,1,5 as side lengths

#

its not a triangle

wheat plume
#

yeh

timid chasm
#

not a right triangle

wheat plume
#

it cant be a triangle, the sides arent long enough

ashen spindle
#

no its not a triangle, you cant connect those sides lol

wheat plume
#

^^

timid chasm
#

whaaaaaaat

wheat plume
#

lemme get a drawing hang on

timid chasm
#

that's the definition of a triangle

ashen spindle
#

if one side has a length of 5

#

and the other 2 are 1 each

#

you cant make up the distance to connect them

wheat plume
#

exactly

oh so you're saying because of extra distance it's not only a triangle

#

a triangle still exists there is just runoff

wheat plume
#

or if a side is too short also

#

idk what happens in the code if one side is longer than it needs to be

ashen spindle
#

what not, its not a triangle, its just 3 lines in my example

#

you cant combine them into any geometric shape

timid chasm
#

so not assuming they're connected

#

got it

wheat plume
#

yeh, but if they were to be connected, could they form a triangle

timid chasm
#

I said sides and should've said vertices

wheat plume
#

or would a side be too short

ashen spindle
#

the assumption is, they are connected, if they can make a triangle

wheat plume
#

if they are connected, yeh

ashen spindle
#

so it needs to be looked for if its possible based on the length

wheat plume
#

the math rule to check for this is two sides are longer than the third one

timid chasm
#

yeah

I mean that's how you check it
