with mindblowing performance gains
I wasn't serious
I did get that kit to 2666 cl 14 though
it does need quite a lot less power which is nice, but moreso in terms of what you can save on a mobo from it, not ram itself
If it's anything like the ddr4 release though, you're only gonna find ddr5 support on like threadripper or hdpe boards
meh, I could see mixed support for ddr4/ddr5 on the first iteration consumer boards
That's what I mean
no I mean on the same board
Ddr4 was released as ddr3/ddr4 mixxed on exactly two x99 mobos
ye
So it could be a similar thing. On a limited number of very high end models
but with amd putting pcie 4 on consumer boards directly for some reason, maybe same will happen with ddr5
Maybe
How long will it take performance scaling to catch up with ddr5 speeds though.
Though I suppose ddr5 @ 4000 mhz would have a lower cas?
Compared to ddr4
hard to say since I honestly dont even know what the specs for ddr5 are over ddr4
I would assume the "max" speed is 5000mhz
And maybe there is a ram density bonus too
Aren't they supposed to be starting at 5000MHz?
my gpu vram speed is 7000mhz
i'd like to see that on regular ram
im sure there's a good reason why it isnt yet tho
Easy
well the dram frequency of ddr is half the total frequency
DRAM is double rate, GDDR is quadruple rate
really high bandwidth but worse latency
makes sense
To use correct terminology, DDR3200 runs at 1600MHz and does 3200 MT/s
as for the memory I also ordered some recently still shipping though but I really like to toy with some micron e-die and go to 32gb
What's disgusting is people buying a mouse for 120 😂
"last mouse they make"
cant wait for another 5 ultralights from them that just get smaller
I should get into the mouse business
that's for a different reason though
I'm going to get into the mouse business as a side hustle
I will take logitech wireless mouse internals and put them inside Microsoft intellimouse 2
then take drugs, make twitter posts, sell with a markup of 80%, done
Several of my friends are interested in such a mouse mod
Logitech wireless is great but they dont make a nice large ergo shell
Besides the one with 35 buttons
though I do admit I'd love to try if the lower weight would be noticeable to me and/or if it's too light for me
I think lower weight is harder for playing with high sens
400dpi
Unless you are blessed with brain surgeon hands
Dpi doesn't mean much without in game sensitivity
if you play with high sense you dont play shooters or anything you'd get an advantage from a lighter mouse anyway
I think a lot of super competitive fps players use high sens. If you have the hands for it then theres advantages to turning faster
If you have brain surgeon hands you get both
This Russian dude on my squad team plays with high sens and has the highest kdr as infantry
okay so like 0.01% of a playerbase that makes up 0.01% of the players :p
well my estimate was for how many of them have brain surgeon hands, I'm sure there are a few more who have a bit higher sense, then again at what point do you start counting it as high sense etc.
well a common term is "/360 in arena/flick shooters
i think like a 6 inch 360 is where you can flick to people behind you in a blip
first finalmouse ?
let me know how it will be, like my phantom so far but who knows how long it lasts
definitely curious how a 50g mouse performs
I will when I receive
Also compared to astrum
I think higher sens players prefer lighter mouse
I think for low sens players like me a wireless mouse is optimal
So much easier to not worry about the cable
Waiting will only delay how long it takes to get to you though
Correction to an earlier comment I made. I meant HEDT or High End Desk Top. Not high density polyethylene
You Linux nerds. How do I stop Ubuntu's boot menu from going straight to Ubuntu? I need to boot the Win10 option it has 😅
Facerolling worked.
it should do that automattically O_o?
@reef patrol grub
shrug
Booted up a laptop that had s purple multiboot menu. Solved it 😁
RAM TALK
Yo dawgs, about that corsair 32gb set of ram, the catch is 16-20-20-38 timings (advertised as CAS Latency 16 so that you don't read into the other values) because it's hynix memory not Samsung, you won't be able to push the timings atall and rarely will be able to overclock. All the benchmarks that you'll see online will be using top tier G.Skill (Samsung) RAM
It used to be that AMD CPUs would have to wait extra clock cycles unless they had the best timing memory, the ryzen 3000 series still is still lagging a tad in memory timing and can benefit from using the best G.Skill sets instead. Ryzen 3000 series is finally for AMD seeing performance gains when using over 3000Mhz RAM speeds as long as timing aren't too bad and the last two gen of Intel already were benefiting from the higher speeds, but if the only processing you do it game then don't worry about it. G.Skill with Samsung is finally selling some low latency 3600Mhz RAM for the big bucks and its what the Ryzen 3000 line really shines with.
However / regardless : if you don't have 16gb yet, or you never close your chrome tabs and therefore need 32gb ;P, and you're buying for the last few gens of intel system you should totally go for it while the prices are low - the prices are going back up, they're currently down due to oversupply which is being scaled back so the makers don't miss money. Please don't consider this a false scarcity threat by me, its just what markets do to retain profit margins, you probably don't need more RAM.
tl;dr: cheap 32GB is nice to have, memory is memory and you should only consider the pricier versions of the same size interesting for performance if you actually do RAM heavy compute heavy work.
Are b die 16gb sticks that expensive though?
Due to supply and the competition, Samsung RAM prices have fallen significantly aswell, I picked up 3000Mhz cas14 of 32GB for £165 recently
3600 speed will assume position at the new semi-enthusiast price point
Implications: if you buy non-Samsung RAM to match with other non Samsung RAM you'll most likely have to match the stats of sets before purchase -exactly- or compromise to the worse values of your sets for both in use. You'll always have to match values of sets in use
You should always match dual rank with dual rank ram (this is not the same thing as dual channel)
you don't have to match sizes of your set on the A and B channels of your motherboard (16+32gb is fine)
It's now pretty cheap to run a 48GB/64GB RAM Disk so that ARMA 3 can finally not have load-in-lags
RAM and motherboard is the reason i don't own a ryzen 3000 yet :p
SSD Makers hate him, Intel Optane wants to be him
⚡ 🙀 😻 🔥
This one meme-y app could save you literal seconds on your load times!
Alternatively micron e-die is also very attractive price wise. And while it doesn't do the latencies of binned b-die it does perform really well especially on amd. And from what I heard hynix cjr is also a great bet
Didnt samsung stop making b dies recently? wonder for how long you can still get them
will look into it in a few hours
i heard that as well
maybe they are switching production to ddr5?
or perhaps b-die isnt profitable compared to the others
A does sound better
i thought A die was server mem
Maybe they got the successful fabrication yields up enough that it's more cost effective for them to focus, means less R&D and less factories
I forgot to plug the front fan in https://tenor.com/view/nice-clap-clapping-unimpressed-sarcastic-gif-8057549
Wow how did your computer even post
wdym
@pale sigil I just got a SilverStone Tundra TD03-RGB, I don't have the RGB plugged in but it's performing great for half the price for similar corsair coolers, and it's newer
why wouldn't it post
Front fan is more important than ram
is this sarcasm
Yeah fans are remedial not integral
Anyway if you have the space, maybe the TD02-RGB, bigger version, could be really good
Yawn I'll go back to my troll cave
don't cramp his art
You really should be able to oc on most aio's
I oc'ed my cpu on one of the cheapest aio's 
using hypr 212
AIO fans often plug straight into the mobo just so your know
ye
I thought you still needed to swap it
ik
anything else is over-engineered and should be boycotted
Yeah what is with corsair man..
Those are so stupid
i dont want a 🏳️🌈 pc
I get blinded by my pc
my pc just needs to be fairly silent
microsoft is selling your keystrokes to google btw
Mine was
until rx580
Thing isnt even very fast but ramps up to 2700 - 2800 rpm
I mean its fast enough for me
But so damn loud
But callum what sorta case are you looking for?
Buy this. I love it like a son. https://www.google.com/search?q=silverstone+FT05&tbm=isch
and get the TD02-RGB
you'll feel like an absolutely specialboy with your unique case
£75
it looks like a sleeper case
Like it's gonna wake up at a trigger word and bring down the west?
it's premium alien tech
maybe bequiet is a good bet
They have good dust filters
If youre worried about temps
ask noctua to make you a case, probably sick airflow and 0 rgb
pink and teal vapowave PC
its ugly
Pft

My option comes in a glasspanel version too btw
Which case do you have now?
Dude just drill into your ceiling and hang your pink RGB rig like a chandelier
Or make a hammock for it
natural airflow
🤤
Sick radiating heat
nah put your case onto a ceiling fan, allows for better cooling and if you put some pink glitter in it to make it a magical experience
Or remove the lights and make a "durability test" for youtube
Yeah just get an nzxt
ew fully closed frontpannel
The stock cooler terrifies me
what the fuck would you use
fucking kill it
in a front panel
glass
be nice it looks fine
m8 you complain about cpu temps all day and suffocate your case??
At least he turned his RGB to blue for extra cooling
yeah youll choke ur airflow a lot
Why havent you removed the caution sticker
he wants to return it?
He has a hyper 212 and the one in the pic is a stock cooler lol
i rewrote
What's the point in a caution sticker if you take it off? Anyway it looks cool because it's industrial
True
whats the point of a caution sticker full stop
to caution you 
Im edgier than the glass fucking deal with it
im on a budget tho
I have a s340 elite and taking of the front panel, which already had more vent space for air than that case, lowered my gpu temps on idle from 65ish to 45ish
Fun fact: glass which is known to be broken easily can break easily
i cant be assed putting in a new cooler and taking it out for a new case
id rather get it done with
Ill come over and do it for you
use an aircooler and that part becomes a lot easier 😃
You have to promise me there wont be pizza hawaii
i cant promise thatr
no dont use an air cooler for your spikes
You uncultured fuck
you misspelled swine
I bet an nh d15 would be a lot better for his temps
for anyone outside the UK: his problem is mostly that the UK has no air conditioning
I have worse temps than the uk and no ac in germany either lol
Solution: get air conditioning
sure, let me get my paypal so you can send me money for it 
Lol
solution: reverse global warming
alternatively keep going with global warming until the gulf stream stops and the UK is plunge into an endless winter
Theres just not enough ice to cool the planet
Solution blow up the sun
your move, boris
All put icecubes in ur fridges
Yes humanity hoarded all the icecubes for 241 cocktail hour and now the planet has run out of this precious recourse
AMD is on it
Looks like you want an ARM or powerPC home computer
then drink out of a 1 liter bottle instead
make me
do it or else
ok im making you
if you dont behave im ordering triple pineapple next time
i made you
thats cruel
^ is this revenge porn?
Yes
im colorblind
HA
Good
The secret is out
when do we stop waiting 
Hi NGT Darrll!
Dont judge my handwriting D:<<<<<<<<<
okey but you're still missing an e then
no
You dont know how poorly photoshop writes
theres a 2 second delay for some odd reason
My handwriting is worse though
There is a 2 second delay cause you left all the animations in the interface on
My handwriting is so bad that it fucked me over in School GCSE's (our version of whatver you guys do for tests etc)
Oooof
wtf that desktop?
Yes that desktop
what is it tho?
Idk why were sending pix of our desktops now
I can't read the clock
that looks like you took a picture with motion blur 
Windows
How tf that windows?
R a i n m e t e r
I also spanned the wallpaper over my second screen so it fits perfectly
Its really satisfying to look at
My windows deactivated cause I upgraded too much
Fortunately I like the background it got stuck with
Checked, uses the same key
The key was linked to my account but it will wont activatevthe pc now
Yeah it is a digital key for me also
I bought a key in advance without even needing it
So there goes my money
Can I have it :p
ehhh no :P
Damn
Gonna setup a new pc soon for my school
lame
i have a friend where in uni he and other students have a room where they perma keep their desktops
like legit
cubicals
they shut down 11pm
i could never do that
er that sounds a bit too specific without knowing context
@proud nacelle
Meh this is pretty good
Starting to feel like its more logical to just buy 2 fans for my hyper 212
All the fans
Idle temps
An idle cpu doesn't really output a lot of heat.
ehh, why does OC matter for idle?
i guess
Higher voltage means more heat at same frequencies. So even if it's not under load, it will be slightly hotter.
But idle temps are pretty useless. Gotta load em up.
I found this font today and I like it
what case?
unsure
also isnt the kraken like twice the price of the nhd?
no but its more
oh yeah looks like its even more than double
anyway, you should take off the front panel and check how much that lowers gpu/cpu temp imo
oof
well, have you tried if lower voltage still allows you to oc a bit?
i tried but it just doesn't boot
rip, bad silicon or TIM then
yea but if you still cant oc
just cant really oc
but now its 40 or not? 
No rn its using intel turbo
so 70 if you oc on the new cooler?
sounds fine for oc then?
70c aint great x.x
you think you get 50C if you oc on air with a cpu that uses paste and not metal/soldered?
I used to get around 55-60c with 5ghz
with a beefier watercooler right?
h100i v2
when it worked
i think we are getting mixed up here
i was just saying current i cant
which is why im looking for a replacement
wot
use hwinfo64 I dont really trust any other tools
ye i am
uh that looks a bit different from what I see

Then say that and don’t post here what you know might not be accurate 
Any interesting hardware announced at quakecon apart from the MM710 and Glorious Model O- ?
sure
New mouse
which is amazing
one and only
only one made
I can sell it for a low price of $299.99
nvidia lifted the restriction on needing quadros for 10bit color on opengl programs
thats neat
though thats from siggraph not quakecon
Oh nvidia
how bad does AMD have to slap you before to desist all of your shitty practices
a million times
well amd having a good top end gpu for once would help
or having something competing with cuda for ML
ye was gonna say nvidia only seems to have a grip on Tesla at this point
AMD has better cards coming I assure you
the 5700+XT are in blower designs and have voltage lockdowns to artificially lock them from being clocked up
note that i did not say that amd doesn't do shitty things
but also clocking them up is really unstable or damaging i suspect
you can change power tables on 5700 (xt)
i dunno what nvidias roadmap is like but amd's is pretty guessable
Yeah if you don't mind 100c memory modules
they're using a small die, and GPU dies scale up physically ezpz, the only limit is that it increase yield failure
uhhh EUV is still pretty expensive
I'm hype but expect nvidia $1000 card right out of the gate
samsung did make some very aggressive pricing deals to get nvidia away from tsmc so might not cost that much as a result
anyway AMD has a long history of binning chips
i still cant get over that tri core CPUs were just quadcores with a flawed core
I'm sure that they're binning GPUs and whole wafers as we speak, building stock for the 5800 XT
sure but most likely lower cards come first, then higher end, which then allows them to compete at high end, on a smaller node, 1 1/2 years later
still nice to have competition but at this point I'm just hoping for intel
Seems likely
Intel GPU might just be a compute workstation or server farm card, dont hold your breath
It's a much bigger market these days than having to break into the gamer space
nonono they explicitly are aiming at gaming gpus
for data center they try to offer cpu solutions to compete with nvidia there
lmao doubt it
that what the only recent leak says
and that's their middle spec card, they have a weaker and a stronger one
wait there was a leak for their gpu?
wait no, it's their weakest one
are you reading that one wccftech or what lol
this all i got https://www.firstpost.com/tech/gaming/intels-xe-lineup-of-gpus-has-leaked-and-the-specs-are-almost-too-good-to-believe-6363481.html
nah, usually posts mark it the next day this one just didnt which is shit
Like what a dry and extensive article to write for a joke
wccftech did the same so I thought you got it from there
welp, on the other hand their iGPUs are almost powerful enough for esports
Might they pave a way to dGPUs.. maybe
But I look forward to the timeline where intel has GPUs that work best with AMD CPUs
aye
It might -actually- be illegal for them to undermine such a scenario and force consumers to buy double intel, but all being closed source and design it would be hard to prove though hackerbois are always finding hidden features, not just exploits but unused instructions and subtle design. Would be much too risky.
Expect ARM to be the best gaming CPUs by then.
With enough compute to spare, a layer of abstraction is worth it
x86 is a clusterfuck, so much more to learn than risc processors.
with those two factors it's probably literally worth it, as in human resource costs
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
yea but good luck getting the entire industry to adopt something new
7nm Intel gpu?
10nm at first
intel tried with itanium for a while and failed to change it
but as we know 10nm is basically 7nm tsmc
How can they do 10nm when they cant do 10nm cpu
they are shipping out 10nm cpus for laptops and such now
When is now?
we just wont see high end desktop parts for now from it since the architecture was too far build into the process node
well, now to oems so they can list them for the holiday season
I haven't wanted a laptop in a long time but with WiFi6 being locked in in the next few months and intel 10 series I might actually buy one
Maybe someone will find a way to overclock it and use it as a desktop chip
Also why did intel 10nm cpu take so long: they fucked up the R&D process by trying to push for it too hard too early amongst other complexities
There's a whole freaky story out there
Nahh just wait, you don't need intel 10nm so soon
plenty of fine low fi games out there to be playing : p
Didnt they revert most of their producers to 14nm after realizing 10nm wasn't going to work
they didnt revert anything they just couldnt move foward as planned and thus not enough capacity to produce as much as they needed
to they put some more stuff for chips for modems or so on 22nm etc.
When you want to use the Flip Switch task switcher on Plasma but it has Opacity and you dont like that
;-;
Nah boi
weeb
This isnt an anime character
haha whut
note to self ladies love over-animation
I wish the plasma version of it did not have the transparency -.-
Yeah now windows+ tab gives you rectangles, mich cleaner and easier to use imo
and fits the flat ass design of windows 8/8.1/10
Although 8 and 8.1 was the most animated of all windows versions
Hm not for me, works just fine
If you do this fast enogh on plasma, it just changes view without that animation
the global menu cant even catch up fast enough 😂
Do the kids game on Apple phones these days?
Or perhaps I should say
do Apple kids play games
well, mobile gaming in general is booming
I still can't fathom why but PC gamers like RGB and amibos so I guess I'm a lost cause, or old and I'm not even 30
physical plastic figurines
though actually that's not what PC gamers are buying... they're buying those big-head marvel superhero figurines
my bad
amiibos are plastic nintendo figures that you can use with some games, the switch scans the amiibo and unlocks costumes or so
ooooohhhh
Looks like in NA half of mobile gaming is Apple but in the world average it's les than a quarter average, could be mostly down to apple being more expensive and NA being rich
But I've never seen an apple gamer in person
in the US lite (UK)
I wanna see Boris and Trump face off in some kind of intelligence gameshow
*fail off
:PPP
dont you hate when you search for "task switcher flip switch plasma" and all the results or for windows 10 -.-
i want to find the file location for this task switcher and see if I can manually turn off the transparency
I dont even know what I could find with that search 
the only customization I ever did was changing my desktop background I think
so uh, I couldnt be bothered to look into this at all lul
I really wanted the Mi A3 until I saw the screen size and resolution ;-;
19.5: 9 aspect ratio
HD + display (1560 x 720)
19.5:9 is a common ratio for notched phones
Basically all phones with a notch are in 19.5:9 , I guess the notch takes up the .5 ?
xd
idfk
Well 😉 mine has not notch 😉 😉
Ye but you're has that weird thing
they are using it as their phone to push 5G to the market
What?
Nvm
I dont have a galaxy S10 E
Is the mi mix 2 wider than the m9t Cos it looks it
what is the screen ratio of the mi9t?
cause the mix 2S is 18:9
Your phone is 19.5/9 xd
Ye
Yeh, I guess it is less wide to hold as mine
Shame
oh?
Because when In landscape it's lacking height if you get me
It feels like an elastic band
dafuq
If you stretch it you have less space in the middle
🤔
ahhhh
Juicy O_o
@digital cliff I think the wooting at mwave might be a limited run/stock
Probably sold to orders
More rumours about a 5800 XT
I don't want a reason to upgrade my VII after less than a year :(
Gimme RIS already!
link and dont just mention it 
It's probably nothing
But meh
could be a workstation thing too
I'll get the 6800 or 6900 when we get there
That'll give me another year with the VII
I'd just be worried about temps mostly,7nm is nice, but higher density also means more heat and that hasn't been amd's best side for quite some time now
Shortest I'll have kept a GPU, I think
either way, next year is going to be hype
intel gpu, most likely a new nvidia gpu, maybe finally 10nm desktop intel cpus
maybe a big navi
uhh tests for those already? nice
Although I'm wondering if I shouldn't just save for a decent 4k 144Hz HDR1000 display
Should see them soon
damn and 450 almost sounds cheap
thats a lot cheaper than what asus offers with their rog monitors for not low latency of those specs lul
Second most interesting is the Aorus
Unfortunately it doesn't have a good overdrive settings for VRR
Otherwise, it's outstanding
oh wait the vrr setting is probably why its cheaper, since that doesnt cost as much as the gsynch module lmao
?
The cost is really the gsync royalty
also apparently amd is launching more cpus to fill the gaps they currently have
as was proven with laptops, the "gsync module" doesn't even do anything
which is silly since the middle stack doesnt really make sense already
3500 and 3600/3700/3900 Pro
There is one thing gsync requires, that most Freesync displays don't have
Or rather, the module does it
Variable overdrive
That's really the only advantage
And doesn't mean it has to be good
But it's there
It's also the only downside of the Aorus...
it has one setting that's good for 48-90 Hz, one that's good for 70-100Hz, and one that's good for 120-144Hz only
That's still part of the display driver itself
The variable over drive would probably be what the patent protects, so that gsync keeps its advantage over freesync, until the patent expires
That's not part of the display driver, it's in the monitors firmware
same point, the monitor is the one doing it
new windows search look after this update made me think it enabled bin again, just looked too different 
thank god I only needed to change one setting after this update and everything else stayed the same
The search no longer brings up the sound devices menu when you search "sound"
instead it bring up "sound settings"
then you have to hit the down arrow to get the control panel one
then it's not even on the right tab
so you have to click over
Why was this changed to be so dumb???
idk, typing in sound and showing sound settings as first result seems logical to me?
it does but
the win10 sound settings are not something I need to access all the time
wait I'm dumb, it lets me change what I want to
but it's a way bigger window
which Is annoying
I like leaving the tiny control panel one on the desktop so I can change sound devices whenever

I saw this
I want a switch now
My friend is selling his cheap. But no money :(
@proud nacelle
if it makes you feel better people are making millions off of fortnite
at least fortnite cleaned minecraft of all the toxic 8 year old gamers but yeah
millions
They are working on changing the PVP mechanics too
there is a snapshot you can manually install to try them out
i own a modded switch
i own a switch and 4 joycons with stick drift
and im outside of the US so i cant repair it
y'know i have NO fuckin clue if mine has stick drift
i can't test it right now but last time i played it, no.
Joy drift is repair support available though.
And it is likely one of the reasons for the new revision of the switch.
@proud nacelle
Intel want me to do a benchmark twice with their own software lol
Why not other tools 
Known variables I'd assume. Their tech support knows how stuff should react to their benchmark specifically.
isnt that good if you want to send it back?
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nice!
it's such a big ass fuckin box
xD well ye
it will be
The hottest processing boi
huh
is that windows' fault or that plugins fault? 
All I see is another good reason not to play destiny
Hmm... 530€ for a demo laptop with an i5 and a 1050TI. temptning
Yeah... brand new ones are still pricy. 1060s too.
Only looking at demo returns atm. for a good deal.
Razer has most graciously allowed me to borrow one of their new 240hz Blades for review...I suspect I might get addicted to the ability to game a bit while on the go.
My current laptop has an MX150 which will just barely do WoW at lowest settings.
my previous laptop, a t440p had a gt370m, which was barely faster than the integrated one
but ran games sooo much better

gt 730m
Really need to get rid of my current Lenovo. These new ideapads are so plasticy. The entire frame is plastic, and it got a nice scratch from a tiny piece of metal on the keyboard when I closed it one time.
And the fan is so noisy on DESKTOP.
OwO
niice
What's the battery life on something like that?
I'd imagine not long while playing a game, but I also haven't been following laptops so maybe they're good now
I hate razer but their battery life, from my experience, is pretty impressive
Definitely not while gaming but my wife could work on hers throughout the day with little issue
I'd say she got probably 5-6 hrs worth off the top of my head. Maaaybe 2 if gaming but more like 1-1.5 if I recall
I'll find out over the next week or so.
I just realised.. i haven't changed the terminal colors from the standard ubuntu ones 😮 Aubergine background
im getting old
Ubuntu looks better now with the Yaru theme
but it used to look so old fashioned
I hated that
@wheat plume what's the dock
I'm using dash to dock atm they are basically the same
dash to dock is a gnome extension 😂
I had to many issues with KDE
they are not the same
yeh yeh
i hate docks
its hard for docks to look differently
I found a really impressive Windows 10 clone done on plasma desktop, I am conflicted
I hate that Plasma can look so much like windows after some tweaking but I am also impressed by that fact too
I think its really smooth
I have alot of animations enabled too
wobbly window
magic lamp
flyin for popup windows
Screenshot for the windows 10 theme?
@crimson wigeon told me about kwin-lowlatency
it fixed the laggy feeling I had in games
now they feel silky smooth ❤
and ok hang on
Compiz is amazing :DD
Plasma has most of the compiz effects built in though
@pale sigil
I found this on r/unixporn
Ugly
ikr
I'd use that if I could change the task bar colour tbh
It blends in with the workspace theme
I like windows 10 design

Not fully done yet
I cant figure out how to make the global menu show folder locations on the desktop like how Ubuntu Mate does
it just shows "Plasma Desktop" and no global menu
aahh the young

does gkrellm still exist 🤔
d@K ~> gkrellm
Command 'gkrellm' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install gkrellm
seems so 😮
what is that command?
type a command which isn't installed yet, and it gives you the option to install it
i mean.. google will tell you, but

Intels ticketing is bad
It doesn't show when the support staff response to you
Or your responses... most likely they are using 2 different ticket services...
Which is silly

omg this phone's website is pretentious, are they trying to be the next apple while apple has become the boogeyman that everyone claimed microsoft was
which makes current windows... old ibm? lol
no market if you ask me
Secure, open source workstations and personal PCs exist. But if someone works at Area 51 or does secret embassy work they probably aren't allowed a camera phone but even the PotS just has a samsung galaxy or apparently an iphone recently.
Here are some out-there phones that have might have a shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjcVPZCG4sM

There is this english phone brand I have thought about buying from but I forget them name of them -.-
Wileyfox! Yeh!
He mentions them in the video
Wileyfox, cool, it's cute, pretty good and modern specs, good price.
Like seriously this is a competitor https://wileyfox.com/products/swift-2-x
Yeh!
£110
it is decent and USB C on a phone that price ❤
But with that half price sale they must be planning versions 3 pretty soon
Pretty sure you can use NFC for many banking apps for payment
Really
yup
Qualcomm Snapdragon Octa Core Processor
snapdragon 410, their bottom tier processor
855 is also octo core
kinda deceptive
cant expect much for the price
considering they throw NFC and USB C into it also
and a 1080p screen
ooh
430
oops my bad
snapdragon 430**
I unironically want a phone with the bottom tier but most up-to-date qualcom 439 right now but they just aren't being used
I think the lowest processor I would go is the 630
I'd take a 730 also but no phone using it is perfect
Is that what the Pixel 3A uses?
nah 670
that's one of the reasons that I didn't go for it
if it was a 730 and UFS memory I would have
Do you think $80 more for the 700mAh battery size increase is worth it? you also get a bigger screen so it will drain faster than the 3A
but they didn't even use the newest 6 series and i only accept qualcom
I had only one phone with MediaTek, the Elephone S8
That phone had the WORST battery life ever
;-;
it has a 4000mAh battery yet it lasted like 3 hours only
it did have a high af res screen though
My dad's Motorola is shockingly disappointing not being qualcom and he barely touches it
probably yes the extra battery worth it and it would take longer to degrade but i don't think 3A is suppose to last you for years, just a couple
The phone I have right now has ok battery life
but not when im using it for a hotspot
I lasted for a day and a half of light use when in romania cause I didnt have a way to charge it
some phones have better antenna implementations than others
If your phone has good connectivity but also a low SAR rating then it probably has a good antenna implementation
Wait....Motorola use stock android?
Yeah it's comfy
but they have custom gestures so how does that work
dunno but they're bringing gestures to android Q. pretty excited for Q, lots of specialist features being integrated making re-skinning redundant (I wish)
I don't see why gestures couldn't be a launcher or app
I HATE the back gesture tho -.- How hard is it for them to limit the back gesture to half the side of the screen instead of doing that odd hold and swipe on the Beta 5
DO what MIUI 10 is doing -.- it is the perfect implementation
Keep learning java or kotlin then you can get a stock android Q phone and reprogram it
I've looks at the Q documentation is pretty comfy (read:easy) but fuck java lol
yeh, but they way they have it on Beta 5, you have to do this finnicky hold and swipe to open the app drawer from the left side
it would be easier to risk dropping your phone to reach to the button at the top -.-
Hey did you disable the chinese ads in MIUI?
block chinese IPs in the inbuilt firewall anyway
huh?
dey watching
idk how to
I don't actually know if china has an IP range | ok i checked and they do, like ~4,000 of them
I hope someone makes and android Q rom for this phone ;-;
because when I get Q it will have MIUI 10 on it and itll look and act the same as it always has so there is no point in getting Q
My aunt's phone is on android Oreo and it look and feels the same as my phone which is on Pie
I dunno but I'm certain there will be performance improvements
Not that you'll even notice with a 855 already breezing everything in a millisecond
Intel "since it only reaches 87c and not 90c it's functional"
Are you actually fucking serious
I mean I'm surprised they have 90 and not 95 or higher as a threshhold you need to reach
i dont think they got the point of the ticket
its the idle temps that are an issue
reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Apple with Intel.
"It's 100C - That's just fine"
87c is your idle temp now?
sounds like you got unlucky with the TIM and or IHS on your cpu but thats just silicon lottery basically 
What cpu?
7700k
Time to sand your ihs :p
they arent soldered yet so delid would do more than sanding
Depends how bad the ihs is
GN got like 10c from sanding their 9980xe cause it was so uneven
most likely just a support person who gets numbers they should follow and doesnt even know what they do
yes but that one has just a slightly higher tdp and is also soldered
And intel's solder tim is awful
did you buy directly from intel or why are you not trying to rma from the shop you got it from?
Two Years EU
Seller actually, not manufacturer 😄
Lemme quote that real fast.
