sorry tino unlike you we actually try to enjoy stuff sometimes
ashen spindle
really? thought the only sub 1ms monitors were with shit overdrive so far?
lethal wasp
not enough time for character development in a movie
nope
this was like BIS at the time

that's why you watch movies of a series where they can develop the characters 
lethal wasp
1.5x actual value
are the end of the day you're buying a TN panel
fuck paying serious money for one
ashen spindle
I mean that's why I said I want to see that stuff in a ips/va panel :p
I never said this is a good panel or anything
ashen spindle
how dare you just destroy my dreams like that
lethal wasp
grey to grey made it shit it's pants
everything else was fine
until the screen corrupted when cold
until I warmed it up
IPS is feasible
probably exists
ashen spindle
sure but in dark rooms VA is still better for the most part imo
lethal wasp
VA is INSANELY slow
there is no way
that it will ever be in a worthwhile gaming panel
OLED will become affordable
before VA is worth a wank for FPS
ashen spindle
the 32GK850G is a nice va panel a coworker got recently, apparently its really nice, but hes not a shooter player so theres that
oh yeah true I forget about oled
lethal wasp
it's great 90% of the time
yeah it's called OLED
get a TV then lol
you can get a 120hz OLED tv for like 1000 quid iirc
49 inch panels are coming soon
incase you want a crampt 4k tv
ashen spindle
the 27GL850 is a great IPS if I remember the right reviews, only downside is in color accuracy dark rooms I think they said
ashen spindle
lethal wasp
how does anyone build a worthwhile pc for less than 4 figures in 2020

where did braided cable kits go?
they existed for like
a month
and vanished forever
I had to just get cable extensions
not what I wanted to do
but no better alternative
ashen spindle
hrm that looks like a nice panel but not 0.5ms gtg unless im looking at the wrong spot?
lethal wasp
I posted a diff link
0.3ms claimed
but that's bs
they got 0.9ms in testing
monitor specs are complete toss anyways
they make a 240hz ips as well
acer are much fairer with their pricing usually
especially for this period of monitors that are half baked
ashen spindle
Don’t even know what the other one costed, as I just saw the headline and want that in other panels on the future :p
Yesnt
lethal wasp
computers are dinosaur tech kinda
ashen spindle
Because good will always stay relative
lethal wasp
I think TVs might bridge the gap eventually
tbh though
no one wants a tv under 50 inches these days
it's not as big as it sounds
you think you'd never find room for it
but even in my room I feel like I could have got a 55 and not felt bad about it
ashen spindle
Just like variable refresh rate is obvious now to be a must have at some point, at some point in the past people didn’t even think about it so new feature will come up etc.
lethal wasp
I think monitors and laptops will always be 5-10 years behind
keyboards/mice are entering endgame territory
headsets/usb mics have a long way to go
but what do you expect
normies won't pay real money for a headset
they want a mic, headphones and DAC/ADC for pennies
so it's all trash hardware
ashen spindle
I expect the unexpected once x86 licenses run out if you ask that broadly :p
lethal wasp

@lethal wasp I don't watch much tv shows but when I do, i just pirate them, yea
paying for 10 subs to different services makes no sense

lethal wasp

ashen spindle
basically, some x86 licenses expiring soon, a company called Nuvia being founded by ex intel/arm/appl etc. people to compete in server chip market where only ARM could try to get close to intel/amd previously
and I expect big changes there that cause ripples in the rest of the hardware economy
lethal wasp
inb4 literally nothing happens like intel making gpus
ashen spindle
nah they raised quite a lot of money and have people with actual tack records on board and not just good looking linkedin histories
ashen spindle
the issues intel are having with gpu are due to what caused the 10nm issues, it's a continuation of the already existing issues, not them failing to enter a new segment
also fairly active in the public to whatever degree its possible with big announced plans https://twitter.com/jonmasters/status/1243396380674023425
Twitter
well yes, but actually no
it will change what will drop down to the consumer, what amd/intel/nvidia make and thus size down for consumers if it's not a split IP etc
yes but you will most likely never get any of their products
but what will be on your chips/boards/in-output etc. will most likely changed based on stuff trickling down from that to consumer hardware
so no, in the near future nothing of that impacts you
well, there is a low chance new specs might come down to consumers a bit sooner, but that is imo not something that can be predicted unless you work in the field
lethal wasp
AMD have already broken the stalemate in the segment
frankly our biggest issue is whether the USA burns china the the ground if this turns out to be biological warfare
reef patrol
Honestly considering their "handling" of it so far, this just proves the US wouldn't be able to survive a targeted attack 😄
We Division now boyz
lethal wasp
this is based on the presumption that allies weren't given weaker strains to provide a defence
ashen spindle
yes amd got back into server and is demolishing intel, but the only thing consumers get from this is ryzen cpus, which is nice and all but nothing new in the field
ashen spindle
same instruction set, same way the layout on boards is etc.
lethal wasp
you can have as many cores as you want with IPC soon to exceed intels
ashen spindle
zen2 ipc is ahead of intel
lethal wasp
if the clock speed isn't there then it's a bit scuffed
ashen spindle
what I mean is, the "only" better thing we get from that is better cpu's and what they use
they still use x86/x64
lethal wasp
a new architecture would require a new OS codebase and new languages, right?
ashen spindle
what I mean is more stuff like the 12VO PSU stuff intel wants to introduce and such
well yesn't
lethal wasp
sounds like you're looking decades ahead
hopefully I'll have a less sad hobby by then
ashen spindle
unlike ARM they will be using some x86 instructions, which means adoption will be faster as they can plan around that
which is why it will not take as along as ARM did to gain relevancy
lethal wasp
so relevant it doesn't enter conversation 😂
what exactly does that change?
12v cpus or what?
ashen spindle
it ditches the 3.3 and 5v rails
ashen spindle
uh, you misread I think, that psu has nothing to do with the rest I talked about
I just meant to say, something like that is what we will see as a consumer form this
bc that is the most recent changeup of the stagnant pc building space
lethal wasp
I'd much rather see small scale oled
than a new cpu type
no amount of processing power is going to stop monitors looking shite
and being one of the biggest steps in the latency chain
1ms mice/keebs are here finally
who are you talking to?
we have tiny OLED (phones)
and BEEEEG OLED (TVs)
we just need medium scale
ashen spindle
monitor tech wont be changed by it for sure, but I just think there's a good chance other stuff has a chance to get changed, it's hard to say because honestly the entire topic is way above my level but I think I can grasp what the implications of it could be for consumers
lethal wasp
we literally have either end of the spectrum
also arn't OLED good for colour accurate work?
can't we just sell them for fuck off money to businesses?
and trickle them down to upper class gamers?
ashen spindle
I think burn in is still a big concern for that
lethal wasp
I'm sure they can build in fuckery that helps prevent it
with an opt out that voids your warrenty
luminosity is the enemy
dark themes save OLED lifespan

lethal wasp
not sure what it heatsoaks to externally
lethal wasp
SCIENCE BITCH
our old science teacher told us to put something about increasing surface area if we didn't understand a question 😂
well no because it would just headsoak more without dissipation
it would just take a tiny bit longer to hit it's peak temp
just like water cooling vs air cooling
a higher temperature differential will pull heat away faster, no?
imagine if this was a chonk of solid copper lol
Ali is decently thermally conductive though iirc
it's used in triple ply cookware as a pseudo heatpipe
so you can warp it on your electric hob and go fucking ballistic
yay, different expansion rates >.>
some higher end PSUs are fanless up to a certain load
I think my EVGA G2 doesn't kick the fan if it's in eco mode

ashen spindle
or its spreading in some rural areas of russia where they dont even know what they got bc internet is not a thing there
lethal wasp
I'm still convinced that there are multiple strains
and that the UK is purposely infected with a safer version
like small pox and cow pox
ashen spindle
eh, while I think its possible to have multiple strains of it going around, I think its other factors
like it was at first thought to affect male people much more than female
but that was because smoking is vastly more popular with chinese males
cedar glen
the point is every time pekin calls him he shits his pants and comes around
till he gets comfy again with insulting them

I wouldn't be surprised if this was an engineered cull
their government is as morally bankrupt as it gets
any country that slaughters passive protestors should be taken with more salt than a LOL final
ashen spindle
While I do think that is possible I don't think it was spread on purpose, it would make much more sense to have an "accident" occur somewhere else if that is the plan
lethal wasp
if it starts in a shit heap province then you can just blame your dirty, poor citizens

lethal wasp
and probably vaccines later
inb4 they are sat on a vaccine already
and are waiting for a feasible timeframe to swoop in
you can't say you have an antidote faster than previous pandemic research has achieved in the past
I think something fishy is going on in the UK
ashen spindle
well, you can because this strain is from I read not mutating heavily due to a self repairing mRNA so if you get something that works it will work for quite some time and dont need to finetune it for variations

Chem degree is one of the recommended degrees for pre-med
at least in the US I assume it's similar elsewhere
ashen spindle
uh no, here you study medicine if you want to go the med route, the needed chemistry, bio classes etc. are in that degree
timid chasm
So you go to college for medicine instead of going for a degree and then going to medical school?
ashen spindle
well no not really, med school usually is part of universities here, so you just go to different classrooms that the law students for example
timid chasm
Interesting. We have specific colleges for things like law and medicine here.
Typically it can be the same school name but entirely different schools
If that makes sense
ashen spindle
depending on size of the city/uni some just have more or less degree choices
timid chasm
I think you can go to medical school without a bachelors here but it's not common
You still have to have what they call "pre-med" classes under your belt though
ashen spindle
it takes the same time here, you just dont do a random bachelor, you do a specific one
also we dont really have the whole campus thing here so universities aren't really limted in space, the big one we have here has multiple buildings stretched over quite some area for different faculties
timid chasm
We have sub-sets I think. Like Chem, Bio, or Phys with specific class requirements. Some Natural science requirements. Then you have to be accepted into med school and do you 4-5 years there
I see, interesting.

what router/modem do you have?

and try doing the tracert to your friends ip

I mean.. is there cable from your router to the wall

bad route is first hop of over 1ms
ashen spindle
that or if in the middle it hops to 100+
ashen spindle
yes that should be fine
just make sure to not post the full tracert into chat later unless you want to dox someone lmao
fickle ore
see if yu can access the settings and turn off settings related to gaming like flood detection, nat, firewall etc and turm em off
and update fw
ashen spindle
also wait, your router has a sim card, I need to read up on that lmao
fickle ore
its a 3g or 5g router
fickle ore
woops. ye. 3g/4g wireless
ashen spindle
can you ping your local google site or so as comparison
bc that looks like a shit connection
uh tracert, not ping ofc
fickle ore
your connection is bad
ashen spindle
yea
fickle ore
40ms is ok for LAN
u said u get 200ms so your routers are fucked
change your router settings and that should work
well it is
So what settings is the SIM using if its in your phone?
Your router's I assume, still...
I think the SIM is connected to the router which is a hotspot with a bigger antenna for wireless comms
cos its using your routers instead of steam servers which are configured properly and are better hardware
got to CMD
and type ipconfig
Default Gateway
its usually 192.168.1.1
crimson wigeon
do ip addr and perhaps ip route
fickle ore
see if u can turn on bridging, disable firewall, check flood detection and other gaming settings
NAT for example
Not necessarily
it checks every packet and might get swamped with small packets especially in gaming related network traffic
same for NAT which is why you turn Bridging on in shittier routers
crimson wigeon
My guess is that 4G connection, plenty of people using it probably getting shaped in a nasty way, but if it's only P2P a crazy idea would be to perhaps tunnel through a VPN
fickle ore
Just a guess but since you're playing via p2p and one of you is hosting, have you portforwarded each other's routers?

or whitelisted..
this is how u fix internet issues
turn off all settings in router
if that dont fix curse and call ISP

I wouldn't wish wireless internet on my worst enemy. Externally that is.
Just lay down some fibre and use reindeer to extend it through the woods.
If there is a silver lining about covid... it'll make companies push for stable, strong internet a lot more, since we're unlikely to get entirely back to office attendance. Now that more and more companies are run remote, they get a taste for it.
For sure.
I had to get a second desk to work from home remotely efficient.
If I'm on my main PC, I tend to zone out and faff about on social media without noticing.
Saving two hours of commute every day is definitely a cool thing.
I'd be very open to having more of a virtual office space, where you can kind of VR esque go to someone's desk and poke em
I mean... an hour each way every day is pretty common?
Mine was within walking distance. Very convenient. Grocery shop on the way home 😄

am I the prophet of the latency gods? only time will tell
yup
with videos
and I said the apple keeb had a scanrate of 50khz in 1980s
what gives
and linked the article to it
I got the 3310 smoothing fixed on the mionix avior
back when I was an OCN tard
before the great purge of placebo PC tweaks
that being said I could tell the difference in 5ms latency increments back in the day
but it was headache inducingly difficult to tell
I got like 21/25 samples or something

is 5G expensive to implement in phones or just brand taxed?
ashen spindle
it does cost more, not just brand taxed
5G basically has 3 different implementations, the short range that gets blocked by a piece of paper but has really high speeds if it isn't blocked
idk what the 3rd one does, but the other one is on a longer wave so it can be used for rural areas for example because it reaches much further and isnt blocked as easily, but doesnt offer the same extreme speeds as milimeter wave 5g does
the big issue is big telco advertising it as one thing that does everything to sell more phones with it
chicken/egg nobody is spending millions to upgrade if nobody uses it, so they first need to get phones out that can use it, even if nothing is there yet
wheat plume
on the best 4G signal possible, what is the maximum and mimimum speeds?
ashen spindle
idk ask wikipedia
wheat plume
O.o
the max I get is 16mb/s
wow
even in the middle of Dublin I only got 16 down
and 4 up
ashen spindle
meanwhile I barely use my phone so I have it set to only use 3G to save battery lmao
not once have I used LTE
so I'll probably skip from 3 to 5g at some point haha
pfft, sometimes I'm even on EDGE, bet you dont even have that
edge is basically 2.75G that nobody uses moutside germany I thought lmao
crimson wigeon
I wouldn't be surprised if that's still all you get if you really go out in the middle of nowhere
Or perhaps even.. GPRS
ashen spindle
I thought there you owuld just get gprs but not edge
wheat plume
4g in Ireland is fake 4G
even with a router and a cable I have not seen anyone with connection faster than 70mb/s
2 of my uncles have fiber, my aunt has a cable
and my friend has fiber too
im not that far from a tower in my student housing because there is a tech park nearby
there are 3 of them in that area
but idk if my phone has the bands they work from
they use bands 3 and 20
ooohh
idk what much of this stuff means but it it says that band name is 3
band number*
it seems the closest tower to me is about 20KM away
yup
wow
...
even at my student house I dont get above 16 down

@lethal wasp The USB specification only allow 500 mA max, the Wootings are "close" to it.
lethal wasp
does the lekker require more or less power?
golden girder
I had a rought discussion about the whole USB-C here with multiple people. No one belived me that only the connector on the Wooting 2 was the problem. So I dive into the USB cable specification find the problem, created a demo connector and proved that in the end I was right all along.
Hmm, I don't know but from all the things I heared I would say yes. But Wooting says that's around the same.
So the hall effect sensore should not use much energy compared to the infrared LEDs. But the LEDs for the RGB stuff are bigger and brighter.
lethal wasp
I suppose they can drive them harder with the extra available power in 3.0 spec
golden girder
No, they still just use USB 2.0.
wheat plume
so its best to plug the wooting two into USB 2?
lethal wasp
doesn't matter in theory
golden girder
It doesn't matter.
lethal wasp
unless one usb controller is performing better somehow
sometimes 3.0 ports act buggy with 2.0 devices I've found
golden girder
You can't use a USB-C to C cable on the W2 due to the used connector.
wheat plume
hmmm, I think the ports in the front of my PC are usb 2
but the back ones my keyboard and mouse are in are 3
golden girder
The problem with USB 3.X is because of driver issues.
golden girder
No...
USB has different transport types, there is an interrupt type / mode but it's not a hardware interrupt like on PS/2.
A lot of USB 3.X ports are handled via additional / separate controller on the motherboard. So it can happen that the driver built-in in the OS isn't the correct one which should be used and because of this it can be that there are problems.
Because of this it's recommended to use the drivers which are offered from the mainboard vendor.
The Wootings are using an Atmel MCU which only support USB 2.0 with full speed (12 Mbit/s). As far as I know the Lekker is using the same or a similar one.
To be able to officially get more than 500 mA you would need enhanced speed or support power delivery. Both would be bad to support on a keyboard.
That's why some vendors are using multiple ports on their products.
reef patrol
I wonder if that is truly a problem is this day and age.
I mean... It's pretty hard to track down a PC that has USB2 to begin with aside from legacy front ports?
Especially in the gamer space. You'd be hard pressed to find a ... what... 2nd gen Intel era machine with predominantly USB2 ports 😄
golden girder
Vendors typically cover more, like up to 900 mA. But again this is out of spec and no company should expect that all controller can handle that.
reef patrol
golden girder
The controller are coved by a constant-current diode if I remember it right. So if proper implemented it should just don't provide more power.
But if not something can burn and so destroy the USB controller or the whole PCB and so the motherboard.
reef patrol
I'm sure you're right. Electrical engineering is a bit above my head. I just hear "USB 2 fallback" and think "But... USB2 isn't really a thing anymore. Everyone's gotta have USB3 as a minimum, if not one of the countless later upgrades" 😄
slender rain
I still have a PC here with USB 2.0 ports
golden girder
But the problem with the higher power on USB 3 is that you are only allow to draw it when you are using a USB 3 chip, meaning enhanced speed (> 450 MByte/s) which is total useless for a keyboard in any way.
slender rain
Also my PC at work should have USB 2.0 ports too
golden girder
Even some modern boards have often still some 2.0 ports.
reef patrol
Do you GAME on your work PC though? I'm not saying you can't find USB2 in the wild, but any PC should have predominantly USB3 today. Even on the front with cheap cases moving to USB3 headers years ago. 🙂
To be fair though I built gaming PCs - Not work ones. But the Wooting is a gaming grade board, so it makes sense to focus on that group.
golden girder
Easier and less prone to errors.
slender rain
I considered using the wooing two on my work PC ^^
reef patrol
Anyhoo - If it can be done with USB2 then no point in using USB3. If the board can't be utilized fully to its potential, then a USB3 only approach seems obvious 😄
reef patrol
Sure are.
Either ones slotted into PCI-E, or just dummy boards that use the motherboard's spare (if any) USB3 header and bring it out back.
golden girder
Again, having USB 3 support for any input device would be more than a overkill. I don't even know of a single keyboard supporting high speed (480 Mbit/s).
slender rain
It was
reef patrol
Personally I'm not overly bothered - But I would definitely love to be able to do C to C, since I have several C ports on my PCs 😄
golden girder
Yeah, but this would add much more cost and complexity just for power. And in addition it would restrict a lot.
reef patrol
golden girder
You can do USB-C to C if you are using multiple adapters.
The problem with the W2 is the missing handling of the CC pins. USB-A and B don't have this so the cable must provide it.
That's why there is no problem with the used cable for the W2. So by daisy chaining multiple adapters it would work.
If you are using the correct ones!
Or if you inject power from somethere else, but I wouldn't recommend this because if you do something wrong (wrong voltage or different ground) it can break something.
I hope Wooting will offer the corrected USB connector together with a cable as an upgrade kit some day. So a W1 can be upgraded and the W2 can be fixed.
wheat plume
What does any of that mean?
golden girder
What exactly?
wheat plume
yyour last message
golden girder
You can swap the connector of the Wootings, the part that is connected to the PCB and provide the hole for the USB cable.
So that instead of a micro-B connector the W1 has a C connector like the W2.
wheat plume
hmmm
golden girder
@lethal wasp You can try to ask Wooting for a connector, maybe they can offer you one. And if a lot of people ask for it they maybe will offer it in general.
wheat plume
🤔
lethal wasp
rip lol

Hmm, I think the most noice came from the reflection of the metal top plate and not the empty housing.
So I can't really imagine that this helps a lot...

Without a direct comparison with my it don't really help.

But did you have a sound file of the Wooting before and after the mod?
This would be interesting...

@prisma crag Ask Wooting if you can get such a connector.

IT'S NOT THAT BAD

i just switched from plasma to gnome 3.36 and it feels way faster than i remember somehow
also feels snappier than plasma tbh
wheat plume
Really??
Makes sense I guess
Gnome puts most of the desktop into ram so it's responsive af
That's why it uses so much ram
pale sigil
Plasma is pooop
loud hemlock
Plasma is awesome but makes me not actually do anything useful
Because I spend more time tweaking it than actually using it
I switched to plasma because it was way faster than gnome like 2 yrs ago
But it's the other way around now
Idk if Wayland has anything to do with that though
wheat plume
Use the impatient extension on gnome
It speeds up the animations
loud hemlock
I am
wheat plume
I again use "always zoom workspaces"
Always*
Because it annoys me having them pop out when you want to nice a window to them
Move*
loud hemlock
Also it's cool how you don't need the shitty browser extension for extensions anymore
Or gnome tweaks
There's an actual extensions app. And you get them from gnome software
wheat plume
You still do to install them
I just use meta+numbers to swap worksspaces and meta+shift+number to move active window to workspace instead
@digital cliff I do that on plasma
Ayy
I can't figure out where the keybindings are for moving windows
So I haven't got that working yet and I miss it
No
Am considering it though
3.36 looks amazing
thick elk
My DE hopping days are kind of over for a while now. KDE seems to be where I stick.
It has most of what I need adn the things that don't work as great generally don't work better elsewhere.
As for moving windows by default there are no keybindings for that but you can set it yourself.
wheat plume
there are , the default is the alt key and drag with the mouse
and alt key + right clock to resize
thick elk
oh that, I thought you where talking about snapping it to edges and corners
wheat plume
misty saffron
that's some hideous font rendering ngl
wheat plume
i dont like this theme
thick elk
I just always end up back at breeze
wheat plume
me too... -.- xd
Breeze is nice but really boring
there is no good dark theme for Plasma , thats the issue
thick elk
oh I stick to breeze regular with ark window decorations
thick elk
you still keep the border though
wheat plume
Trying to figure out how to change the color of the border
pure white is dazzling on a dark theme
materia dark is a nice theme
got a nice GTK theme also

aand its time to report another murder, intel laptop chips are getting killed now, after Xeons got slaughtered by Epyc https://www.pcworld.com/article/3534769/ryzen-4000-review-amds-7nm-ryzen-9-offers-game-changing-performance-for-laptops.html
thick elk
hmm no border is actually pretty nice
wheat plume
ah, that worked.... but I dont remember changing this
welp, imma look online
aha! found them
old marlin
so uhhhh
why should anybody buy intel now?
like the only product remaining is the VERY high end on laptops with desktop chips
ashen spindle
To assist global warming
ashen spindle
Especially on comet lake with „thermal velocity boosting“ aka 100W+ on your 35W CPU
old marlin
lol
ashen spindle
But yeah, cpu default option is now AMD, aside from special use cases, with gaming not being one of them
old marlin
nope
intel laptops just got DESTROYED
like completely
they hold 0 footing
to achieve VERY slightly better performance they need over 100% more power
so basically the most powerful laptop is either an Asus ZSephyrus G14, which is thin and light etc
or an acer predator Helios 700, which is thick af and bulky
or well, an alienware area 51m, which uses desktop intel CPUs
and that is just raw performance
battery life is obv MUCH better on the asus
ashen spindle
And in around 4 months desktops will get decimated so hard nothing will be left where intel really can win
old marlin
yea if we get the same improvement there intel has nothing in the desktop market anymore
even what is known about the next gen won't help
ashen spindle
My bet is R4K on 07.07 this year
Unless corona hits TSMC hard
Ryzen4000
Literally just shortened one thing smh
old marlin
how do you fuck up a vbios that hard?
slender rain
Desktop operation is serious business
thick elk
There is also a thing with downclocking not working properly when using 3 or more monitors.
old marlin
never had that issue before
slender rain
But this issue keeps your clocks at max speed all the time
old marlin
yea 2 monitors does the same thing
slender rain
Are you sure this already happens with 2?
slender rain
The clock speed issue
thick elk
it's a different issue though
