We donāt really have tech chains here
crisp granite
where?
pale sigil
We just have the 3 big boys
Overclockers

Just 3 stores btw
Luckily scan is a 30 min. Drive
Other than that we donāt have any tech chains

For me
I know Iāve got more of a chance to get a 5800x than a 3080
So Iām gonna try and get the cpu first
I donāt really want reference 3080s
crisp granite
but if you live near one
it's awesome
lucky bastard
nearest one to me is in detroit
easily 8 hours or so of driving one way
considering that requires a border crossing and using a different currency, then needing to tell customs that I'm bringing lots of PC components
it really isn't worth it for me
It's illegal to not
over a certain value
it's in the hundreds of CAD, i think
so I'm going to hit it regardless
yeah
wheat plume
Would you have to pay customs duty?
crisp granite
yes
pale sigil
Iāve never paid duties 
Well
When it was necessary and not part of the order
Our postal services just donāt check
And Iāve never had a case were they asked me to pay

Scared the shit out of me

I used to pirate a shit ton back then so all sorts was going though my mind
Why am I being escorted? Is my life over? What have I done?
This was when they started arrested people who pirate
chrome estuary
It isn't that easy to do around here. We'd see the cops rip shit into the front yard or drive way and have to walk up to our door. Even if they got next to the front door, that kind of commotion would be enough to get our attention and we'd be probably coming outside asking what the fuck was going on and demanding to see a warrant that allied them to fuck up our yard
misty saffron
could somebody recommend a good android phone below $500
girlfriendās birthday soon, wanna get her something nice
old marlin
poco x3 nfc
misty saffron
i have no clue about android phones so that better be good
needs to basically be a girl phone
as in āi donāt give a fuck as long as i can take good selfiesā
chrome estuary
The only reason that I'd be a little iffy on the Poco x3 is the bands it uses. Sure most people say like 2 and 5 (I think it's the two my carrier use.) Is good enough but like... I have a phone that supports every band on the 4G line
chrome estuary
^ yeah that thing is based as hell
chrome estuary
I'd love to see the Poco x3 base. It's got a fuckin 6000mah battery
cursive summit
5000 brother/sister
6000 would be too good 
But 5000 mAh is still quite amazing
Also Poco X3 has this weird feature/glitch
Since 120Hz screen consumes quite a bit of battery
They introduced a variable refresh rate
chrome estuary
Like the iPad Pro?
cursive summit
So in the menu when you don't quite need the refresh rate, the thing runs at like 40Hz or so, or 0Hz on menu screens
Or when it doesn't need to bump it up
For battery savings
However
That introduces lag
Sometimes refresh rate just doesn't ramp up quite fast enough
And you start to see stuttering
cursive summit
I haven't investigated, but I am not sure you can
halcyon moss
poco and good pictures š¤
cursive summit
It has a better camera than Pixel 4A
I saw a compilation of pictures taken with Poco using gcam
It's quite nasty
That is quite amazing
chrome estuary
The only thing I really want is like LineageOS/etc. I want basically a super clean android rom without all the bloat bullshit that my phone comes with
cursive summit
Although honestly I don't take pictures, so a camera for me is the last consideration
I was planning to install a custom OS on it
But I'll see if someone does that first
And shares first impressions
halcyon moss
But gcam is not easy
cursive summit
Not sure how hard it is to set-up, etc
I don't use camera software
But if you wanted, you would set it up
Otherwise, camera is prolly not too important for you
halcyon moss
ive tried it it gets confusing quickly
chrome estuary
Then why do people circle jerk it so hard?
cursive summit
Still, Pixel 4A is no competition to an X3 my man š
Especially for that price
If it was (X3) 100$ more expensive, I would consider a 4A
Or if 4A was 100$ cheaper
Which is what it should be in reality
Smartphones are just a tad little bit overpriced
Just like graphics cards
chrome estuary
You mean like the fucking Pixel 5 at 700$
When you can just get a Samsung S20 FE for the same price which is a far better phone
cursive summit
cough new iPhone 12 lineup
chrome estuary
Oh God how much is it?
cursive summit
699$ cheapest "mini" model
halcyon moss
im considering a pixel 5 actually... or a samsung 20fe
cursive summit
799$ the base model
halcyon moss
its not just about specs
cursive summit
What is it about?
Firmware support?
Just flash a custom OS on it and you have infinite firmware support
chrome estuary
That's like saying a computer isn't just about specs so you should just buy a mac
chrome estuary
I mean yeah but I'm just salty because my note 9 is fuckin me over cause Samsung sucks
halcyon moss
haha, custom romming, trip that protection thing, and constantly be fighting that, unable to use banking apps etc
yeah thats not an option
chrome estuary
unable to use banking apps
cursive summit

chrome estuary
I could use mine on a custom rom last time I had one
cursive summit
Never heard of being "unable to use banking apps"
halcyon moss

cursive summit
Don't care about Netflix
chrome estuary

chrome estuary
I mean I get using it on my ipad pro since it's an 11" screen
halcyon moss
lots actualyl
chrome estuary
But this is a 6 inch phone here
halcyon moss
but hey, you 2 are a good representation of how everyone uses a phone
cursive summit
Some peeps I guess like their video streaming, which is why 5G is a thing
chrome estuary
Also iirc... Magisk has a rootless system to specifically allow that shit to be bypassed
cursive summit
He's got a point but for me a 4A is just no bueno
chrome estuary
Also 4G is plenty fine for streaming. I get like 40mbps or something like that with a good signal
cursive summit
Really depends on how you use a phone
halcyon moss
But for hollow's GF? :p
cursive summit
@chrome estuary I get 120mbps download on a good day here on 4G+
chrome estuary
Oh I stopped talking about his right hand for a while
cursive summit
Well if his girlfriends likes to bend over for fancy stuff
4A
If she's a respectable female, X3
chrome estuary
51mbps with a good connection
cursive summit
Dunno my fiancee really wants a phone with physical menu buttons,
I'm like "Darling, you know they stopped making those 2 years ago?"
chrome estuary
I've gotten so used to not using physical buttons
And the note 4 didn't really have physical buttons
Just seperste form on screen
chrome estuary
I miss my note 4 ngl
chrome estuary
Ngl. I got to play with the galaxy fold 2 and I really want one
I can't justify that price
cursive summit
I am waiting for folding phones to become a new marketing gag like 5G
Everyone just makes one
Leading to actually affordable ones
chrome estuary
I mean... Let's look at what fucking LG is doing with their flip or whatever it's called
cursive summit
Motorolla Razzr is nice
I haven't heard of an LG folding phone
949??
Shit I'm waiting for folding phones to be at least 400$
thick elk
I feel like folding phones is mostly a concept manufacturers want to explore to not get caught with their pants down if they do happen to be a hit.
At least bringing a few niche ones to market builds up experience.
I do like the concept of the LG-wing though
chrome estuary
Y'know what I'm surprised isn't a thing... Satellite display boards on monitors to allow super super thin monitors that just have one cable coming from it or something stupid like thst
Oh god of course
That is actually not a bad idea other than VESA mounting would be difficult if not impossible
Yeah fair
Ngl. That display does look nice
Not 4000$ nice
But nice
Yeah but dude. I'm the kind of broke fucker that does frozen pizza for dinner again and I'm like lower middle class if not upper lower class
Also those Totinos pizzas are rather good for, "I really want something unhealthy" moments
reef patrol
Nothing a simple cable can't address
thick elk
Either way I don't think it's that big a deal but it would have been nice if they included a power adapter
reef patrol
EU won't let them š
thick elk
Most other brands still include them.
reef patrol
For now.
thick elk
sure but they could have kept it, for now
reef patrol
The EU have been VERY specific about Apple as of late in that regard š
cursive summit
Laptops do have them, but can I fast charge from a laptop?
reef patrol
Easier to do it now while they can change production significantly.
ashen spindle
it's less that the eu doesn't allow phone chargers, it needs to be usb-c standard charger, and apple doesn't want to ditch their lightning port
reef patrol
Eh that too.
thick elk
for some strange reason, the rest of apple does use usb-c
ashen spindle
"you want to use your phone, better buy more than the phone" is what that sounds to me
I have 1 and that is one with a cable that's currently breaking
thick elk
I don't buy phones often and I would say I use pretty much all of mine.
ashen spindle
because I got one with my last phone 5 years ago
so that sounds like having the option to get one isn't the problem here
then that sounds more like an issue that a certificate is needed that requires minimum quality or something
thick elk
I generally don't think chargers are that big a contributor to e-waste in general.
cursive summit
I have maybe 3 or so power adapters
All of them are USB-A
Why tf am I supposed to get a product I have no means of charging?
USB charging from PC is slow af
It's not about pollution at this point just ease of access
thick elk
as far as I know for regular charges the switch does slow charge, it's mostly bad docks that cause problems
Not really, it's just that the dock specifically undersizes it's connector
if you bypass the dock and just use the wall charger it's just a normal size
I just tested it with 2 cables, it really is normal sized
Maybe the difference is just length, with a normal usb-c cable inserting a bit deeper
yea that seems to be it
if I use my phone on both it feels the same but when I use my switch on another cable it's a bit harder to pull out.

shadow minnow
I remember quite a lot of people wanted small flagship phone, wondering how much will mini sell.

@reef patrol rip no more popcorn opportunity from JIM

Which is why I don't want to go MSI for anything anymore
Sapphire, Gigabyte (yes, I know), or EVGA remain the most trusted brands for me
Unless Gigabyte does shit I don't know about
ashen spindle
ah yes, I also dont trust a company becuase of "scalping" of checks notes 4 GPUs
cursive summit
I suspect you did watch Gamers Nexus video on MSI
It was a lil bit too far, but I'd just rather go for a company that doesn't have that many shady dealings
ashen spindle
sure, if the options are equal, if I get same specs but msi would run quieter or cooler or w/e I'd still take it
wheat plume
I wonder how long it will be before every phone no longer comes with a charger brick
Apple doing it with the iPhone 12
urban lynx
charger brick?
crimson wigeon
Androids are gonna make fun of that for a year or so now, then suddenly oop no more chargers included and price just went up anyway ecks dee
wheat plume
only people who had the fast chrager from the 11 series will have a fast enough charger
and a USB C port on the brick
ashen spindle
yes, as pointed out thats because apple uses their lightning port and not regular usb c
wheat plume
yeah.... soon we wont be able to charge phones, you need to buy new one when it runs out of battery
urban lynx
what is a charger brick?
ashen spindle
????????
charger brick is the thing you plug into your wall outlet to charge your phone
ashen spindle
the question marks were directed at lanas comment btw
what about a bunch of upside down question marks Āæ
crisp granite
I shall remember this code
urban lynx
so the adaptor that has all the copper coils in to convert the much higger voltage down so you dont short circuit your phone by overvolting it?
... how do you want to remove that?
make us carry around 230v batteries that work on AC instead of DC?
ashen spindle
no, the new iphones come without one
so if you dont have one you need to buy it seperately if you dont want to charge your phone at a pc/laptop etc.
wheat plume
the issue is, the only people who have a charger brick with a USB C port is the people who owned an iPhone 11 series
so any one with a phone before that have to buy a brick also
urban lynx
oh. i might misunderstood something
ashen spindle
no it's EU regulation to not have 5 million chargers, so all chargers need to use USB-c and apple refused to change it so they just dont include one anymore
urban lynx
i figured someone was annoyed at having these adaptors to plug into the socket, thinking they are ugly
ashen spindle
how it goes to the brick doesnt matter
thats just how their default cable they put in works
urban lynx
i will hide in embarrasement btw. dw bout me
ashen spindle
idk the exact wording, but basically every charger needs to work with usb-c
wheat plume
EU decided that all phones need to have a USB-C port?
@digital cliff they hardly going to make seperate versions of the 12 series for EU :')
ashen spindle
as in the the cable end you put into the phone is usb-c
apple has a lightning port that only they use
wheat plume
no, the cable plugs into phone with lightning
ashen spindle
the chargers themselves are normal
wheat plume
and to the charger with USB C
ashen spindle
ignore what lana said it doesnt matter how it plugs into the charger
cursive summit
Basically if you want to charge your iPhone 12 with normal means
You need to buy this piece of shit from Apple
43$ or so
Since this thing is not included
cursive summit
It's not @digital cliff
cursive summit
Theoretically any wall adaptor with USB-C works
But that's the thing, USB-C
All normal power adaptors have USB-A
ashen spindle
I know you dont get it because people post shit that doesn't relate to it
cursive summit
It is
ashen spindle
the hole on the charger doesnt matter, idk why people bring that part up
aahhhhhh
ok I'll try to keep it simple:
eu law: remove billion different chargers, one standard to reduce waste etc.
iphone: uses proprietary lightning connector, and since its proprietary it wont be the standard they settle on
so options are to either change it to whatever the EU rules as charging port to include an adapter, or not include adapter
does that make sense
ok
good
old marlin
@cursive summit you linked two different chargers
one made for phones at 20 USD, one made for laptops at 45 USD
the latter obv is higher power
thick elk
those prices are reasonable for a first party charger imo

neat oriole
Idk the default wall wart that comes in the box is pretty trash anyways
Not like youād be missing out on much
USB C to lightning is an odd choice for sure
If you have older iPhone chargers
ashen spindle
it's because any mac etc. has one and they dont care if you get fucked if you arent in the ecosystem
and no, the older phones also use lightning so you can still use them
neat oriole
But Iāve been using Anker USB c chargers for a while now so it doesnāt really bother me
ashen spindle
just not the new cable on them
neat oriole
Oh I know they all use lightning
The majority of people who will be upgrading to the 12 lineup probably has an older iPhone that had a USB A charger
ashen spindle
sure, so you cant use the new cable, but if the old cable still works you can continue using that
neat oriole
So the new cable is effectively waste unless they go out and buy a new charger which defeats the point of not including a charger for the environment
ashen spindle
yup
it's quite obvious they dont care about environment based on them wanting to destroy all the refurbished stuff one shop was selling

Is true though
@wheat plume because I do not have A->Lightning cable and brick from my 6s plus

he's saying he has a charger bc the 6s already used lightning connectors
so he doesnt need to get a charger

Although I may want cause of faster charging

I'm not saying to buy amd, I'm just suggesting to watch the amd event that day before you start camping before a store lol

Btw lads, asshole question
Is leaving a PC on overnight with ETH mining shit running worth it?
crisp granite
depends
cursive summit
I read somewhere that people make a good profit
crisp granite
how much does power cost where you live?
crisp granite
bruh
cursive summit
That's a lot?
crisp granite
I pay less than half that and I can't turn a profit
it's a no
where I am it's 5-7 Canadian cents per kWh
don't do it
unless you like noise and losing money
cursive summit
1.4 EURO cents a lot? š

RX 5700 I don't use overnight
crisp granite
it really makes no sense to mine part of the day
cursive summit
crisp granite
setup is a bitch and a half
cursive summit
1.6 euros? Eh š
crisp granite
I would have a pc mining all day
undervolted
if you have a spare pc, throw the RX 5700 in and undervolt the cpu and gpu
then forget about it

Take with a spoon of salt, but it seems that the 5700XT may perform better than the 2080 in that game
Needs an upgrade to 2080 Super to hit 60 FPS at QHD, whereas good old 2080 seems to be enough for UHD 30 FPS
Looking forward to reviews at least
Gonna be interesting to see how the new gen's perform in that title, and if it's still as heavily CPU limited at its predecessor
That not what this sheet is about, though
implying the game can even hit 120 FPS
Just says you get that level of performance for that hardware
Game itself is unlocked
Thing is
Looking at what you need to hit 30 FPS on the CPU side
And then 60 FPS
It may be doable with a 5800X
Who knows
Maybe they don't even have quality textures?
Wouldn't put it past Ubisoft
What new pricing scheme?
crimson wigeon
think that's just for the "DLCs included" editions
Heh yeah
Eh I'll just keep on being a patient gamer, I get complete games cheaper and bug free what's not to like

Used to be that you could like something (pages) without being spammed by their content. As of yesterday every - single - liked thing I have ever done spams my entire feed.

We're talking artists, movies (yes singular movies, not studios) video games from 20 years ago and et cetera.
My local grocer posted 20 pics today... unliked because I can't unFOLLOW anymore.

Denmark is pretty big on FB as the social media to use.

Ironically the "fix" is to force revert to the old layout xD

Mi 10 Ultra charges with 6 times the power
ye ik
but the official one for the phone is 20W
for 25 euros
lineup has bigger problems imo
no really new features that are useful
aka
5G and a new design
the pro lineup is a camera upgrade
daring nova
5g, completely new in the smartphone world
crimson wigeon
5G is a meme
old marlin
when they are trying to find usecases for end users on smartphones
and say that you can watch 7 NFL stream at once
daring nova
its just 4g but with a better frequensy
old marlin
nah
like it is fast af and all
but you don't need that fast of a connection on a phone
daring nova
i say 5g is just to charge you money
old marlin
nahh
daring nova
who needs those speed on their phone
crimson wigeon
Eh you do, all file sizes are becoming bigger and bigger
old marlin
but smartphones are not the ideal market imo
daring nova
it is innovation
old marlin
now 3g gets disabled
daring nova
but smartphone dont need it
wheat plume
5g useless in 2020 unless you live in the few areas that get it
old marlin
and I will have no mobile connection when I visit my mom 
daring nova
i would say laptops
old marlin
cause widening the 4G network stopped
in favor of upgrading the 4G network with 5G
home connections can benefit a lot from it
urban lynx
i dont even really get 3g where i live
daring nova
if they just put it in laptops, you have cable speed on the go
urban lynx
how am i supposed to get 4g or 5g then???
old marlin
you can plaster streets with 5G senders
and get people to use them as home connections
they can be quite reliable fast and low latency
with high data throughput
daring nova
u know there are these crazy peaple
old marlin
for very little money
daring nova
who think that 5g kills humans
crimson wigeon
It's true tho
daring nova
and made covid
crimson wigeon
Burn it all down
old marlin
daring nova
old marlin
the same people that say that burn down 4G towers
because they don't know what a 5G tower looks like
old marlin
people don't get how data and connections work anyways
there was a case for a 4G tower in germany
where a village requested one
the ISP recommended placing it on top of a certain building, city didn't want that
then the ISP said they needed a 32 meter tower or something
city said it looks ugly, and if they at least could place it in the nearby valley
daring nova
DO THEY WANT 4G OR NOT?!
old marlin
yesn't
daring nova
xd
urban lynx
they want the connection, but not the connected tower stuff
old marlin
^
ashen spindle
lmao thats amazing if that is the entire game
old marlin
satellite internet is nothing new
daring nova
it wil
old marlin
especially in europe
daring nova
but its INOVATION for the peaple that have no ethernet
old marlin
since countries are a lot smaller there have been similar projects already
my dad paid 60 euros a month for half a year for satellite internet
as soon as it is cloudy the connection is effectively useless
starlink has no way to fix that afaik
daring nova
well thats fucked for elons money]
old marlin
money can solve a lot of problems
daring nova
if saw something about him mining a komet of gold
old marlin
but physics are kind of a hard barrier
daring nova
i dont know if its real
old marlin
no
urban lynx
wtf
ashen spindle
just learn german lul
old marlin
lemme throw it in deepl
ah wait
mroe useless shit
my dad got 4G some time after using that satellite connection
it was better than the dsl he got
but wit ha 30gb data cap
on a home connection
thanks telekom
well
in his case all options were shit
not even cheap
he got 16Mbit with DSL
the 4G was sold as 50 iirc
but realistically was closer to 30-35
latency made playing online impossible
and streaming was too expensive
as refills of those 30gb data caps were 10 euros each
