There is no change only adapt
plush summit
So I got a small problem
After every other reboot Wi-Fi stops working in Linux mint
But also after every other reboot Wi-Fi starts working in Linux Mint
I don't know what's causing this and I don't know how to make it consistent
Yes. If it's working when I restart it won't work. And if it's not working when I restart it will work
I don't know how to restart it manually
Restarting network manager did nothing
cursive summit
Can someone tell me what the hell is the USB3.0 base speed?
plush summit
using modprobe did not restart it
cursive summit
crimson wigeon
well if modprobe magic won't help you.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
cursive summit
My USB3 USB put inside USB3 port in front I/O of my desktop is capped at 12.5 MB/s
crimson wigeon
My other computer has a broken WiFi thing and unloading and reloading the module fixes it so... can't help ya there!
cursive summit
Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3
Capacity 32GB
USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0)
100MB/s read
pale sigil
Ya they ain’t super great
cursive summit
Capped at 12.5MB/s for some reason
I have never seen a speed on any USB I ever owned higher than 10 MB/s
pale sigil
Is it one big file
cursive summit
Yeah a 3.5GB zip
pale sigil
It’s a cheap usb stick
cursive summit
All I hear is "New USB 3 gen 2x2 is 20 gbps!"
And I'm like "What the fuck's the point"
cursive summit
I guess external HDD's like them
plush summit
Does anyone have any suggestions
crimson wigeon
Yeah if you want speed you gotta get them proper SSDs
plush summit
This is seriously confusing and I don't know what else to do online
I haven't found any other solutions
pale sigil
@cursive summit like I said it’s the drive themselves that’s limited
Their claims about usb 3 are correct
pale sigil
Ye it is
plush summit
How would I check that out
pale sigil
I mostly use mine for transferring PS4 games and making windows/Linux images
plush summit
How do I know if I have multiple services running
crimson wigeon
@plush summit so with the modprobe trick, are you removing all the related modules first
plush summit
No
crimson wigeon
Try doing that then, do something likelsmod |grep wifi and then remove all those modules and reinsert them
crimson wigeon
Note you might not get lucky with the module names, in which case you're gonna have to find the one for your specific chip
Also the usual check dmesg to see if the driver itself has any clues (but it probably won't help... except to identify the module?)
plush summit
I see the loaded firmware
I have three entries under lsmod
What should I do with them
crimson wigeon
Do modprobe -r on them, then do the same without the -r
crimson wigeon
You need to remove them in the right order
crimson wigeon
no idea, note that lsmod might show you dependencies for modules, might give some clues ¯_(ツ)_/¯
plush summit
I also have a problem with the display driver
It does the same thing where it doesn't work after reboot
But the next reboot it will work
plush summit
I just installed it there's no reason it should be broken
plush summit
There is absolutely zero reason it should be broken
pale sigil
Linux
It does
Has no issues since like last begging last year
As much as I dislike windows
I will
crimson wigeon
Yeah that sounds like broken hardware or perhaps you got double unlucky with drivers, better get the latest and greatest kernel!
pale sigil
Windows kernel 
plush summit
I am using the latest and greatest kernel
crimson wigeon
Perhaps even the current RC, or downgrade to previous.. working then? Time to start bisecting and have fun!
plush summit
I wanted to move away from Windows because Windows has actually fucked things up due to automatic updates
I was hoping that I could leave this machine frozen in time
this machine is also old
i thought there would be good support for the hardware

Hey guys
Whats a good 15" or 17" laptop with ryzen 4700/4800 or newest intel max 1.5k€, no graphic cards needed
good airflow
preferably around 1k
cursive summit
Zephyrus 14 has either Ryzen 4800H or 4900HS afaik
old marlin
yea
you don't need a display then
cause ryzen and no dedicated gpu is no gpu at all
aka no image
otherwise gl
the big companies are only slowly starting to go with the ryzen apus for laptops
cursive summit
You can't go wrong with Zephyrus 14
It has great perf/price
Or, alternatively, go with Dell G15 SE AMD edition
That thing is a monster
fickle ore
yeah im looking at the lenovo yoga slim 7 atm with 4800u
only problem is... samsung x5 portable drive
can utilize TB3 and is effective 2500mb/s read/write if used with TB3 so might be capped on ryzen platform with USB 3.1 gen 2?
fickle ore
why

Are the clears good
frozen anchor
cherry hasnt been the best for awhile
quaint hatch
Yeah ik I’m just used to it lol
I have a cherry tester too lol so I want it to be perfect
frozen anchor
gateron literally has a clone of every cherry switch that will feel nearly the same if not better
quaint hatch
Oh
Ok
How about gateron clears
They any good?
Oh and @prisma crag 0888 idk about kailh much
frozen anchor
lemme see if theyre called clears for gateron not sure since some are named differently
quaint hatch
Ok
I thought they were though
Like greens?
Kinda
Or blues
Reds are kinda heavy I guess too
frozen anchor
ok yeah gat clears are super light switches
frozen anchor
do you want linear or tactile then
quaint hatch
Linear
frozen anchor
oh ok
frozen anchor
hmm you might want gat blacks then
frozen anchor
you could go for a zeal switch if you want a better silent
quaint hatch
If I get a prebuilt keyboard it’ll be the ikbc cd87
frozen anchor
theres also gat inks
frozen anchor
linears will only vary in smoothness and weight so theres not a whole lot that can go wrong when picking a switch
quaint hatch
True
frozen anchor
whatever you pick if its half decent it will feel good
quaint hatch
Also true
frozen anchor
and since we are in wooting discord after all theres the wooting kbs
you can spring swap them if you need a different weight
and springs are cheap
quaint hatch
Thanks for the help
frozen anchor
np
frozen anchor
zilents are tactile not linear
sakurios roselios and helios should all be the dampened linears
quaint hatch
Ik
But I’m mainly looking for quiet
That’s why
And most linear are more quiet and smooth
frozen anchor
ive used sakurios and they are very quiet
quaint hatch
Oh
Ur lucky you don’t live with someone that uses gateron blues lol
If you do then welcome to the can’t sleep club

On average than RTX 2080 Ti is 24% slower than RTX 3080, RTX 2080 SUPER is 37% slower
so much for 2x the 2080 
timid chasm
I think we all knew that was going to be BS
2x is an absurd jump for a generation I feel
ashen spindle
ofc, but always more fun to make fun of marketing once real results are in :p
timid chasm
But fuck review embargos
timid chasm
Why would you only get shit reviews?
ashen spindle
because whoever happens to get the card first with the fastetst shipping can do whatever test get it out, and will grab the most views
so most people would see a rushed result
timid chasm
I meant more for people they send the card to and say "you can unbox it but nothing else", esp with the notable testers
That's annoying
I guess I only care about a few though
ashen spindle
sure but thats not a review embargo, thats just a useless early NDA lift on unbocing
ashen spindle
and people like GN/HUB/anandtech etc. would make less money for doing in depth tests that come out later, so they wouldn't be able to keep up bc much lower $$$ income etc.
bc if you are 3 days late bc you test a lot, majority of the internet already watched someone else
timid chasm
In a world where being competent and thorough fucks you 😦
so ok fine I guess they serve a purpose lol
ashen spindle
and that's why embargos help
and the NDA on them lifts before the cards go on sale anyway
reef patrol
They "help"
ashen spindle
so its not like they delay it till after launch
reef patrol
nVidia fucks over a lot of "channels" with their "You can show off the card" NDA from yesterday. That's a lot of views.
They also fuck over a lot of serious sites by prioritising views over any kind of serious in depth stuff.
ashen spindle
oh yeah, I definitely dont like useless NDA stacks like unbox-FE-AiB
timid chasm
I hope AMD can kick ass with this next generation but I'm skeptical with their GPUs
ashen spindle
point is, in general the embargo does help at least a bit
timid chasm
Yeah, I guess you're right honestly
reef patrol
AMD has had two chances to make their "We're aiming for high end" speeches to be true...and failed.
Embargoes definitely help, yeah.
timid chasm
budget wise AMD is great so I can't fault them there but, yeah, high end meh
ashen spindle
I mean, based on the xbox talk from hotchips, it points to at least a 3080 competitor coming out
timid chasm
I guess I just want a solid 4k@60 card so it's NVIDIA again
No need to swap out my 1080 for 1080p on the PC
cursive summit
Well RDNA2 sounds impressive
But so did Vega cards
And those were eh
Story won't change most likely
Good budget cards that perform on par with more expensive Nvidia cards
But you will need to suffer through driver problems for the first year and a half
ashen spindle
well for Vega we knew the scaling issues would not be gone
hence 64 was only barely above a 56
cursive summit
I'd be very happy with getting a Vega 64 LC to my collection
I own a better card but I would like to have it
Then again I like all Radeon cards
zenith sonnet
Are people still looking for VII's for compute?
cursive summit
Vega II's?
fair gull
no VIIegas
cursive summit
I would say no tbh
It's a good card especially for productivity
Though good luck finding one at a reasonable price
You should be better off with an Instinct accelerator or Nvidia's thingies
Just found one for 670 euros on eBay, brand new
Well then again I checked how it compares to Insticts for the price
It's actually a great value offering
So for compute, it's really good, absolutely
fair gull
idk id say high end rtx or instinct for compute/ml
instinct cards seem to be better than nvidia a series cards
but both have a rather high price point since they are meant purely for compute
fair gull
ya ok
ashen spindle
that might honestly be the saving grace of intel's gpu business
oneAPI
if it only halfway works its already more than amd has to offer atm
fair gull
i guess we'll see in le future
vagrant marsh
Im also skeptical if amd can deliver for the high end gamer.
cursive summit
It is quite high end
For a very affordable price
And the amount of people who want afforable high end-ish cards compared to people who want premium true high end is bigger by several tenfolds
crimson wigeon
I think AMD is royally screwing up the compute front e.g. ROCm still doesn't support RDNA.. and ROCm itself is a bit of a mess
ashen spindle
tbf I barely follow what they do with CDNA so idk if that matters much
it will have to work for the supercomputers coming next year+
and that means server people will work on it too and not just amd only hence my confidence is boosted a lot lmao
cursive summit
CDNA isn't here yet
Arcturus will be the first card with that
And Arcturus is shrouded in mystery
fair gull
so we just ask shroud for info
ashen spindle
ye we only really know their roadmap, but idk how much rocm will matter for the non server space where rdna will be
crimson wigeon
It'll matter for people who want to game and do machine learning on the side
ashen spindle
But depending on how much rdna and cdna differ you might need separate cards
My point is, yes it would be nice, but I don’t know if there is public data showing how many instances it would benefit vs the cost of implementing it with rdna
cursive summit
CDNA is looking to be a more evolved product than RDNA
GCN was great for productivity, and I expect CDNA to smash any sort of productivity task
sharp tusk
just guessing but i think AMD would have delayed more if they were not confident that their product can compete
announcing right after nvidia reveal etc
ashen spindle
if the gpus would be not great they would've announced both at the same day so zen3 would cover up what gpu lacks

Then fucking stupid me rma'd it
The card i got? It had issues
Artifacts would show up after a minute inside a game. Inside fallout 4 it was very obvious
reef patrol
So... RMA the replacement? 😄
reef patrol
Drones on and on about superior EU warranty laws, and how a product replacement means a full renewal of warranty
vagrant marsh
But eu laws are hardly fallowed by each country
fair gull
they have to be
vagrant marsh
Mansen, u dutch?
reef patrol
Danish. Same difference.
fair gull
the eu releases guideline or eu wide laws
reef patrol
But eu laws are hardly fallowed by each country
@vagrant marsh Well yes. They are. That's how laws work.
COMPANIES might try to get around them, and that is why we have consumer rights organisations who literally sue the companies on your behalf if they try to strongman you.
fair gull
eu guidelines have to be made into laws of the countries
cant be part of the eu if u dont have the laws and guidelines implemented
vagrant marsh
Well, eu law says piracy is prohibited. In the netherlands, its condoned. It goes even so far, that our anti piracy organization has to take people to court, according to eu law, and then dont win cause dutch law says privacy is more important than eu law
reef patrol
It's not an optional thing. The EU laws are minimums. You can choose and do more and some countries do.
fair gull
@vagrant marsh i wanna see that
vagrant marsh
You can see that
vagrant marsh
They hired a polish company to record IP's of torrent leeches, dutch IP's got taken to court, asked the providers for the adresses with them, and they couldnt, cause court judgex privacy is more important. They couldnt show who in the household did the piracy
So the privacy of dutch people is more important than EU law
fair gull
fair gull
@vagrant marsh that doesnt make piracy legal lol
thats a comoletely different veast u just explained
reef patrol
Well no. It isn't.
vagrant marsh
They know it illegal but they dont do anything against it
reef patrol
Having IP addresses and a timestamp isn't enough to be used as evidence however.
ashen spindle
but in your case it wasn't condoned, it was no evidence so they couldn't punish people...
reef patrol
It's like saying murder is legal because they couldn't prove it in a court 😄
fair gull
if someone can prove puracy with evidence they will punish
vagrant marsh
Before eu law about piracy has been acted upon, meh. We had a tax on data holders. So usb sticks n such. It was dutch law that this compensated piracy of music and movies.
We condoned it
reef patrol
We still have that in Denmark.
vagrant marsh
Yes. We also still got the tax
ashen spindle
but your entire point was that the EU law isn't being followed, which obviously wasn't the case there :p
fair gull
the tax on digital storage and copiers isnt for pirated content lol
we have that in germany
vagrant marsh
It might be followed by the anti piracy bureau, but they are hitting a wall that says privacy is more important
vagrant marsh
We actively work against the law
ashen spindle
ok but that is not related to following eu law or not xD
dutch people didn't decide they want people to pirate stuff so that's why they increase right to privacy
fair gull
@vagrant marsh so ud be ok with them raiding ur house cause someone just says that u pirated smth
cause piracy is more important than privacy
reef patrol
It is in Denmark, Tony. Or at least that's how it's phrased. It's a way to "compensate" lost profit from the copying people would do on Casette and VHS without a way to punish them 😄
fair gull
well here its in general for copies of legal documents (that get a super light watermark printed on them aswell)
vagrant marsh
fair gull
here they phrased it to be for allowing u to copy whatever u already own
vagrant marsh
This is of another company that wanted pirates to pay fines
Same thing
Privacy is more important causr they cant show who in the household pirated
ashen spindle
yes but they didn't make privacy more important just to deny the EU law getting used????
fair gull
like with any other thing
reef patrol
Here's the important bit : "For example, it is not certain that the IP address holder is also the one who downloaded the movie."

vagrant marsh
No. Each modem within a house got its own IP
fair gull
ipv4 is exhausted usually multiple households share 1 public ip
@vagrant marsh thats not how isps work
maybe ipv6
but what popular services uses that
vagrant marsh
Then fuck me for not knowing any better
reef patrol
Is piracy a bad thing? Yes.
Should copyright lawyers get special treatment just because it's really hard to prove private citizens do it? No.
Focus on making streaming easier instead of spending resources punishing people for doing things illegally that you should have offered legally in the first place.
Go after the businesses who professionally pirate shit.
ipv4 is exhausted usually multiple households share 1 public ip
@fair gullAnd this is why they try and strongarm the judges into forcing ISPs to hand over the private info that CAN pinpoint a household.
fair gull
u own hardware
and software u made
with software u only buy a license to use it
not the software
u dont really buy games
u buy licenses to play the games
u still buy a license to play the game
a company could theoretically still make u legally not be allowed to play it
the only people actually owning smth are the ones who made it and in case of hardware if u buy it
@digital cliff basically like a restraining order
or how u can be made to not be legally allowed to have a pc or even use one
while not literally prevented u basically get punished if u still do
vagrant marsh
Yup
vagrant marsh
Like piracy
Well
Its with everything that way
Rape. Punishment when caught. Murder. Theft.
Hell. Throwing a piece of plastic on the ground is worth a high fine when caught doing it.

Insert lengty post why reddet is bed and affirm that it is bad and that you are right because you said it was bad
dapper ridge
when the hell did I say reddit was bad?

hahahah
by giving ROG Strix GeForce RTX 30-series cards up to 400W of total board power to play with
400W

Something has to keep the balance with an overclocked 10900k

So October 15 confirmation for 3070
And 3080 reviews moved from 14 to 16th
So just a day before launch
true quest
thats why you buy custom hardware to refit it for watercooling

Take this with a mountain of chloridium
But RDNA2 might have been leaked by AMD as a response to RTX 3000 series
- Rdna2 has >100mb "infinity" cache, less affected by memory bandwidth
- Clocks at 2.2+ghz max, bus connection between compute units can't handle higher frequency
- Perf/watt +60%, greater than expected of 50%
- 6700 vs 3070
- 6800 vs 3080
- 6800xt vs 3080 ti
- 6900 between 3080ti and 3090

Seems like AMD is confident in RX 5700 series
I don't believe 6700 will launch at same price point as 3060
But if it does, bye bye Nvidia
3060Ti will come first apparently
reef patrol
I'll believe AMD matched high end nVidis cards when I see benchmarks from independent reviewers 
Not to mention power draw.

sharp tusk
drivers being shit are AMD's trademark at this point
zenith sonnet
Remains to be seen
Might as well be the other way round again
Because trust me when I say: Microsoft and Sony will report every tiny little thing they find in those chips of theirs
sharp tusk
i expect the hardware to compete well but software side sucking as always
its not matter of whether people are reporting stuff or not, just lack of resources
zenith sonnet
as always
There have been enough times there Radeon drivers have been better, it changes every now and then
sharp tusk
atleast R9 390 didnt have any driver problems that were not fixable
the 5700XT blackscreen problems are just yikes
thick elk
AMD did hire quite a few people on their software side, My guess is that it will improve and mostly needs time to mature.
On the linux side stability on amd from what I heard is pretty good. As long as you don't expect a new card to work well at launch.
My experience with windows drivers was mostly from my old 7950 which I really never had any trouble with.
ashen spindle
it will help that rdna2 is in console, so ms/sony devs will get a chance to report stuff potentially, hence I give them a 60/40 instead of the usual 50/50 of drivers being a fail on release :p
vagrant marsh
Ofcourse. You dont want to fail sony or microsoft. But for them its not easy to switch to another chip manufacturer
ashen spindle
I mostly meant game devs from those studios, not ms/sony directly
vagrant marsh
Intel is trying to get into the graphics cards business, so they produce both. But so far, amd is the only one.
Ahh
Maybe chips are bad :p
thick elk
I don't know if it being in consoles will help that much. Issues related to how the drivers update, how they interact with windows, how they interact with multiple monitors. Those things are not relevant for consoles.
ashen spindle
sure but in the past we just had general issues of the entire gpu with vega, not related to windows or anything
and I ofc I dont think that removes every bug, just enough to give me 10% more confidence the launch will be good :p
thick elk
I expect the launch drivers to be a mess and most of it to clean up in a few months after launch, leaving some pesky / returning ones after that.
In general I'd say navi already improved quite a bit from vega

You'd think protecting the radiator is one of the most important things in packaging an AIO.
reef patrol
Radiators are such a nightmare to keep safe.
The copper fins are SO soft and malleable.
fair gull
ya
i once built a customer pc and actually bent a few fins when i dropped one of the bigger screws on it by accident
not as bad as in the video
but still noticeable

vagrant marsh
Wish i had my pc back 😩
thick elk
Regardless it;s not the best move to have the cpu mounting mechanism flapping around in such a way that it can freely slam into the radiator.

respectable for a pendrive

I read it just don't know enough about it to guess how important it is.
Does look like the kind of exploit that could be useful for hacking consoles. Considering it works both on amd and intel my guess is that it's pretty widespread.

Heya, so my gf has been having problems with her relatively new roccat keyboard. Sometimes her shift keys dont work at all, and the only way to make them register again is to keep trying over and over again until they register. Her spacebar also sometimes registers two clicks and not one, and her S key also sometimes gives up the ghost same as the shift keys.
We have tried a bunch of things, different usb ports, firmware updates, reinstalling drivers, even a UEFI bios update. Nothing seems to help. No core files are corrupted either.
Is this a keyboard controller issue, or do any of you know what it could possibly be?
ivory geyser
That sounds like a bad contact issue - possibly a shitty soldering job or a faulty PCB/Switches.

sterile cosmos
Trust me as much of a joke that is @dapper ridge at this point i feel its the only way out of this.
dapper ridge
what kind of switches? or is it one of their membrane lineup?
sterile cosmos
Let me find you the specific model. Its a mechanical keyboard if i remember right
roccat vulcan 120 aimo
ivory geyser
Doesnt it have a warranty or something?
dapper ridge
^
sterile cosmos
It probably does and we are absolutely going to go see if a replacement is possible. Its about a year old now.
dapper ridge
also, have you checked if the problem happens on another machine?
I mean I assume it will,
sterile cosmos
She doesnt have another one to try it on sadly.
dapper ridge
not yours?
sterile cosmos
So, no basically.
dapper ridge
or not in same location
sterile cosmos
Yep, sadly long distance.
ivory geyser
I will be a bit brutal here and say to not buy from that brand anymore.
I heard not very good things about it
dapper ridge
ah, well ultimately sounds like a bad board, might want to check warranty or try giving it a deep clean and see if that does any good (probably wont)
I love their mice, idk about their keyboards
sterile cosmos
I suppose so yeah. Well thanks guys i appreciate your input.
ivory geyser
Get her a Wooting!
sterile cosmos
You know, i actually might.
dapper ridge
if it was a wooting I would say "take it apart and replace the switch"
sterile cosmos
Yea haha
Honestly thats what im so happy about with my wooting just
Pop a key out, new one in.
dapper ridge
my track with the vulcan lasted about a year, used it for work purposes
within a month the spacebar came loose randomly
used a tissue as "lock-tight" to keep it in place
did not have any other major issues, but honestly did not enjoy typing on it much
much preferred my previous work keyboard, the das keyboard 3
sterile cosmos
Looking around on reddit and google i see similar issues with it actually
keys not registering n stuff
dapper ridge
sounds like my last logitech mouse 😛
the right click died
twice
on two different mice
sterile cosmos
Oh god
dapper ridge
was super annoying
sterile cosmos
I can imagine
dapper ridge
logitech g903
my first one the right click died within a year
then I got it replaced for free (thank god for warranties)
but the replacement g903 died in the exact same way within a year
what makes me laugh
is my g900
lasted like 3 years
no problems
with 2x the use

My gfs new mouse has troubles with the scroll wheel
dapper ridge
lol I hate the tech lottery
dapper ridge
when wootmouse?
dapper ridge
I have had good roccat mice
and terrible roccat mice
my current one is pretty good
my last one the scroll wheel got weird
one before that was great
sterile cosmos
So basically roccat keyboards and mice are a total dice throw.
dapper ridge
and before that also great
sterile cosmos
hers is currently the roccat kone aimo remastered
dapper ridge
cough all keyboards and mice
I just accept that I could get the short end of the stick when buying electronics
I mean even wooting has problems
but at least you can open up the keyboard to fix them
and the founders are a lot more responsive regarding replacement
sterile cosmos
Yeah, it isnt instant landfill the moment something goes wonky
sterile cosmos
I guess shes cursed or something
dapper ridge
is she too rough on her poor peripherals?
ivory geyser
My GF is a Razer-girl lol... stuff is overpriced and has shitty software, but at least it works.
dapper ridge
my first cheap keyboard died against a wall
bleh razer
the first time I held a mouse that made me feel like I had carpal tunnel
very fancy laptops tho
definitely the apple of gaming
ivory geyser
Tempted so say that Ducky is the Apple of gaming
dapper ridge
maybe in regards to keyboards?
I own a single ducky
it's ok
not my favorite board by far
presently using my woot 2
sterile cosmos
She isnt really rough on her peripherals no. And also, i recently had my blackwidow die, which is why i went to wooting
thing was spazzing out like crazy lmao
ivory geyser
Well, glad the Wooting is working out for you so far :)

I need some mouse suggestions
For Minecraft
I’m thinking about getting the glorious model d
ivory geyser
Well I think any mouse will do for MC tbh.

Maybe look for some with side buttons tbh. If you play modded MC, you can have A LOT of keybinds.
Some macro/extra buttons could be helpful

Keyboard presses are more reliable than the mouse events. Believe the game scans the keyboard more than the mouse, in minecraft

No issues in minecraft
But it had in the higher rates

I'd have to investigate the game library they use
