[reef tundra]

Replace battery

[astral haven]

The battery is pretty much fine tho

Lost like 150mah

[wheat plume]

same on my phone

[astral haven]

Problem is software over time gets heavier

[reef tundra]

Stop mining those bitcoins. They wont be much of value when the battery runs out

[astral haven]

Helps when i reset it but that's only for like 2 months

I mine for bitcoin on my pc not my phone :P

[pale sigil]

Starting to drain though

I can easily drain the battery in a day

If j tried

[astral haven]

Yup

[pale sigil]

Before I'd only need to charge it every 3 days

[astral haven]

Looking for a replacement now

[astral haven]

So angry at samsung for yeeting the sd card but I might end up going for an s21u in the end

[reef tundra]

Threaten the phone and its kneecaps. Might work

[astral haven]

Actually hmm I could turn off aod now that I have a smart(ish) watch

Welp I'll see tomorrow how much that helps

[wheat plume]

I forgot you have to press down a thing on the displayport connector and just yanked on it....

FML

[pale sigil]

I miss mui 11

12 is shit

[ivory geyser]

Why did you upgrade then?

[halcyon moss]

for sure i do not miss my s6, batterylife was shit from the beginning

[wheat plume]

what dont you like?

[ivory geyser]

Also, what is so bad at it?

[pale sigil]

Just all the animations do my absolute nut in

And it just performs worse overall

[halcyon moss]

enable dev option, and set the animation scale to shorter

[pale sigil]

Ohh

Much better

Thank you!

[halcyon moss]

oh! 😄

also just set it to 0.5 :p

[pale sigil]

I die

Did

[wheat plume]

when your new GTK theme needs to compile

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume imagine changing themes every 2 seconds

xD

[wheat plume]

I want to change the accent color

[crisp granite]

yooooooooooooooooooo

noctua doing a revamp of the D15

[old marlin]

ye has been known for a while

like 3 months?

or longer

[crisp granite]

but now I finally know

and am gonna get one

assuming it comes in the classic colourway I know and love

[pale sigil]

White version stuff too

[crisp granite]

ew

[pale sigil]

But will probably get delayed xD

[crisp granite]

I just want next gen cream and brown beauty

[ashen spindle]

the massive passive cooler is gonna be fun

[crisp granite]

definitely

[ashen spindle]

1.5kg pure metal

[crisp granite]

I got a lot of fans and a great amount of airflow

I might get better temps with it

since I'm currently using a wraith cooler

[hard thicket]

why use a passive cooler when you have fans in your case

makes zero sense

[crisp granite]

my fans are quiet, my cpu cooler is not

[hard thicket]

well are quiet cpu coolers too

[crisp granite]

hm

[hard thicket]

[crisp granite]

but I really want a massive block of metal in my case as well

[hard thicket]

less fans = quiet system

[crisp granite]

I got 3 pure wings 2

[hard thicket]

not even noctua 12x25's

[crisp granite]

a gpu which is dead silent at full load

[hard thicket]

disappointed

[crisp granite]

they came with my case

and are enough

[hard thicket]

fair point

[crisp granite]

but when they die

I'm gonna get the cream and browns

[hard thicket]

not everyone wants to pay 100 bucks in fans

[crisp granite]

heh, I would for stellar fans

and tbh, more like 150-200 CAD

[crisp granite]

beautiful

[hard thicket]

this alone was 140$

for 40mm fans...

[crimson wigeon]

Noctua 👌

[crisp granite]

I'm gonna replace my (insert device that uses fans) with noctuas at some point for better airflow and less noise

[reef patrol]

Living up to your name. Noisi lil boiz

[hard thicket]

they ain't even that loud

aslong as you don't push max rpm

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/its-working-anakin-skywalker-starwars-gif-4777331

Then why even bother

[hard thicket]

because

[crisp granite]

ohmagawd

[reef patrol]

Just get one long fan.

Duh.

[crisp granite]

that's beautiful

[reef patrol]

[hard thicket]

need a vertical blower

[urban lynx]

what is that?

[reef patrol]

Watercooling radiators. 🙂

[crisp granite]

a blower

it blows

[hard thicket]

a 1U** radiator

[crisp granite]

so hard

[hard thicket]

40mm x hexa

[reef patrol]

1U* 😄

[hard thicket]

60mm thick

uhhh

two of those are almost equivalent to a 280mm x25 rad

according to my testings

[reef patrol]

Turn the rads 90" and use 140mm fans instead.

[hard thicket]

uhm, what

[crisp granite]

mansen with the jokes

must be drunk

[hard thicket]

most likely

[reef patrol]

I'm just messing with you 😛

[crisp granite]

it's a monday

I really don't blame people who drink on mondays

worst day of the week

[reef patrol]

Though to be honest if this is outside the case, you could have just used a thick 120mm radiator and have it stick out further. Push/Pull.

[hard thicket]

dont forget the other 3 days

[crisp granite]

the other 6 days

I drink on those as well

all 13 days of the week suck donkey balls

[hard thicket]

won't work because it's not outside of the case

it's right below the gpu

[reef patrol]

Gotcha.

[hard thicket]

to the whole hot air gets exhaused from one side

[crisp granite]

DA2 or dancase?

[hard thicket]

and fresh air gets sucked in from the other side

DA2

modified

[crisp granite]

noice

[reef patrol]

I wanted to liket he DA2...but the front... ugh.

That bezeled front panel.

[crisp granite]

I wanted to like the ghost S1

[hard thicket]

it's kinda classy, build like a tank

it dropped two days ago from 1 m to the concrete ground

while transporting

[crisp granite]

but the only way to get it was to pay 500 CAD + taxes and shipping from Sweden

[hard thicket]

all but a scratch'

[reef patrol]

Ended up with the Sentry Mk2. And sold that off when I realized how lucky I had been with my 1660TI fitting. 3000 series ITX cards are still big. And low end.

[hard thicket]

watercool em

[reef patrol]

No room.

[crisp granite]

watercooled cards will all fit in the sentry mk iirc

if you drill a hole

[reef patrol]

I don't want an external rad 😛

[crisp granite]

weak

[hard thicket]

people do dual radiator dan a4 builds

[crisp granite]

noice

[hard thicket]

dual 240mm

[crisp granite]

maybe a dual 240 Ncase M1 would be cool

with custom loop 'n shit

[hard thicket]

performs insanely good

[reef patrol]

Don't miss it one bit 😄

[pale sigil]

[hard thicket]

dual 2080ti Dan a4

[reef patrol]

Loopi boi.

[hard thicket]

might be the most dense build out there

.-. needing an account

dead server

cant use curtains

[misty pier]

kind of wonder which headset to buy for my gf

i want to get her a gift but I'm not sure what would work 🤔

[wheat plume]

HyperX Cloud 2

[misty pier]

those are what you got yeah?

[broken pollen]

Get a studio headset for $50000

[crisp granite]

or a car

or a wife

or an education

literally anything is better value for money

[rancid kiln]

hey i just received my wooing one TKL and i have been having difficulties with some of my switches when in analog mode with them being unresponsive, has anyone been having similar issues?

[crisp granite]

#archived_helpdesk_for_keyboards

[reef tundra]

Whenever a product mentions IoT, you can already know the product is over engineered, overpriced and useless.

[broken pollen]

Wait-

With money?

[crisp granite]

mhm

[broken pollen]

😂😂😂

Frick buying a 3090, buy a whole god damn mail order bride

[crisp granite]

or better

just buy both and a car as well

[ashen spindle]

cloud 2 are quite bad imo, got them for free and only keep them as a backup incase I need it tbh

[broken pollen]

I'll use it to pay off my uni stuff

And also buy a better car

[crisp granite]

and a wife

[broken pollen]

Idk how much they cost tho

[crisp granite]

depends on the sample

[reef tundra]

Why order one wife if you can get two wifes so they can talk to eachother and not get loney

[misty pier]

smfh I'm not trying to go broke buying her a gift

[broken pollen]

I'm just gonna buy the whole of nvidia

For 50k yes

[misty pier]

she streams a bit and I want to get her something with a decent mic at least

[crisp granite]

hm, buy her a razer blackshark v2

it's not great, but it's above average for gaming headsets, both mic and drivers

[ashen spindle]

the mic on the cloud 2 is meh, wouldn't use it for streaming

[broken pollen]

A separate dedicated mix is probably beter

[misty pier]

hmm, I'll probably ask her if she likes that

[ashen spindle]

my 5$ trash table mic was better than the cloud2 mic imo

[broken pollen]

Gaming headset 😣

[wheat plume]

sad ;-; I think they sound great and very god build quality

[misty pier]

i mean she's just a console gamer so

[broken pollen]

Bless her

[misty pier]

just going to get her something simple

[ashen spindle]

build quality maybe, personally a bit too pressing on my head, but sound is definitely not amazing

like not terrible, but there are better things even in that price range

but I got them for free or else I would've definitely not kept them

but, that is personal opinion, not really too deep into audio stuff

[broken pollen]

Just give her the free one then

Lmao

Easy claps

[ashen spindle]

????

[crisp granite]

my brain

can't comprehend wtf just happened

[ashen spindle]

I'm pretty sure shipping alone would cost more than buying it locally

[crisp granite]

mhm

[broken pollen]

Huh

Bruh

[misty pier]

🤔

[crisp granite]

shipping to yankland alone costs a shitload from germany

not worth it

[broken pollen]

Costs about £60 to order some stuff from america

[misty pier]

i mean she lives in the states so, shipping is pretty easy

[crisp granite]

I mean, from quin to you

[ashen spindle]

no I think the topic was me giving mine away since I got them for free lmao

[misty pier]

ohhh, yeah

[ashen spindle]

ye

[misty pier]

better off keeping it

[crisp granite]

save it for when your current set dies

as a temp thing

[ashen spindle]

thats why I still have it

[crisp granite]

noice

[ashen spindle]

esp. with home office

and I'd rather use a bad headset over a vr headset for a work call

[crisp granite]

mhm

I'd rather use my laptop's integrated mic and speakers for a zoom or webex call

since VR speaker quality is always dogshit

even on a fucking index

[broken pollen]

I'd rather use tts

[crisp granite]

$1400 CAD excluding taxes and shipping for that?

the fuck?

it has to fucking perfect at that price

[vagrant marsh]

so, if i buy an av receiver, and i connect it through hdmi, my pcie soundcard becomes pretty much useless, wont it?

[broken pollen]

Idk

[ashen spindle]

really? think most vr speakers are quite ok, just dont want to wear it for a work call lmao

[crisp granite]

oh no, you are becoming an audio pervert, the very thing you swore to destroy

[vagrant marsh]

no?

think you confuse me with some1 else there

[crisp granite]

I guess I did

I'll go back to my dark corner

[vagrant marsh]

behave urself

[crisp granite]

coming from you

that means fairly little

[vagrant marsh]

i always behave

[crisp granite]

but fine

I will

[vagrant marsh]

good to know you have enough decency for the both of us

[crisp granite]

hm

[vagrant marsh]

mhm

[crisp granite]

seriously

[vagrant marsh]

mhm

[crisp granite]

I can't tell if you're serious

tbh I never could

[vagrant marsh]

me? what you think about you!

you full on admitted that whenever you simply dont wanna be part of the continuation of something, you simply say mhm and be over with it

we question all your mhm's now!

but i still luv ya

[wheat plume]

mhm

[crisp granite]

[broken pollen]

yes

[wheat plume]

[cursive summit]

[cursive summit]

You all people have weird ass quirks

A phone is a damn phone

[wheat plume]

If it works well and costs low, it's a great product

"But the camera is ew"

I kinda wish there were phones without cameras so I could spend 100$-150$ less tbh.

I never use it lol

[wheat plume]

OOOOOO 120Hz screen :O

thats faster than my monitors

[cursive summit]

Tfw you are poor af so your monitor has less refresh rate than a phone..

FeelsBadMan

[ivory geyser]

Wtf, your monitor is 40hz????

[cursive summit]

75Hz

[wheat plume]

75

[cursive summit]

Poco does 120Hz

[ivory geyser]

120hz is not 3x 75 lol

[cursive summit]

144Hz or bust

[wheat plume]

[cursive summit]

Oh cider

Alcohol

Damn alcohol

[ivory geyser]

[cursive summit]

That's what everyone says before getting wasted like an absolute madman

[ivory geyser]

Like I mean, I legit have just one can...

[cursive summit]

Words spoken before going to shop to get another pack

[ivory geyser]

Cant

Curfew

[cursive summit]

You live in China?

[ivory geyser]

No, in Europe with lockdowns

[cursive summit]

What kind of communist thing is a curfew

[ivory geyser]

Cant go outside after 9PM

[broken pollen]

its true

[cursive summit]

That's just communist

[broken pollen]

lol

[ivory geyser]

Half the Europe has it dude lol

[crisp granite]

heh

[broken pollen]

they did it in russia too

[cursive summit]

Not here and I am damn happy that's not a thing

[crisp granite]

mhm

[ivory geyser]

I think it is idiotic tbh.

[crisp granite]

3am beer shoping trip

best thing

[ivory geyser]

I dont understand how is curfew at 9 going to help anyone not spread covid when it is -10 outside.

[broken pollen]

(people still go out tho)

[ivory geyser]

Like... wut?

It makes no sense lol

[cursive summit]

If anything it makes it worse

[ivory geyser]

Yep

[cursive summit]

All the gangs and shit are now out in daylight

[ivory geyser]

Pushes more people at once into the shops

[ashen spindle]

because the rules that make sense are getting loopholed so it needs harder restrictions

[broken pollen]

it depends on how your area deals with it

[ashen spindle]

most harder lockdown rules are a result from people being stupid

[broken pollen]

cant cure stupidity

🙏

[cursive summit]

I just want a hazmat with a spacesuit type helmet

[ivory geyser]

We had like... 10K cases daily here for a month

[cursive summit]

Then none of your bullshit would affect me

[broken pollen]

i do too ngl

[ivory geyser]

In a 10mil country

gg lol

[broken pollen]

yum

[cursive summit]

Tbh I would wear a hazmat even after quarantine

They are kinda fashionable

[cursive summit]

@wheat plume https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10415&idPhone2=10183

[ivory geyser]

Especially the more form-fitting, kinky variations!

[cursive summit]

What?

[ivory geyser]

The hazmat suits

[cursive summit]

Kinky hazmats?

[broken pollen]

lol

[cursive summit]

I don't even want to know

[ivory geyser]

Yea, you never seen one?

But similarly looking, yes xD

[broken pollen]

hm

[wheat plume]

what about OP Nord?

[cursive summit]

Which one

[wheat plume]

?

[cursive summit]

Nords are I dunno

Not that good

[broken pollen]

nord hmm

[cursive summit]

When Poco exists

[broken pollen]

nord and poco made from similkar people

their parent companies are same

[cursive summit]

Also you have more than one Nord phone

[broken pollen]

yeah but i dont reccomend

[cursive summit]

Also Smart Z exists as a Nord counterpart

[wheat plume]

but Xiaomi phones have more custom rom choices

[cursive summit]

@prisma crag That logic goes to any company that makes phones

Do you want CIA to spy on you with an Apple phone?

Do you want the corrupt Korean government to spy on you with your Samsung?

Don't know what it is, don't care either

Prolly a custom OS of sorts

Ah so it's a privacy thingy

Like a million other things

Like Tails, Tor, hell even Linux

[broken pollen]

just do what you wanna do

if you arent happy with it its not worth it

[cursive summit]

Let's not turn into a conspiracy factory aight

[ashen spindle]

man if you think being concerned about privacy is conspriacy..

[wheat plume]

You say all this Locke. but you use Discord

they keep all messages and images

and whatnot

[cursive summit]

Privacy is a fine concern, but who'd even care about you specifically

[broken pollen]

fr

who cares about one discord user

there is billion other fricks

[ashen spindle]

oh boy, that is such a terrible mindset

[broken pollen]

if they wanna know about me

they can just ask

[cursive summit]

I have plenty to hide, which is why I don't run shit in the background

[broken pollen]

im pretty boring

got some deep dark secrets?

[cursive summit]

And recently I had to install Overwolf cause gf wants to play modded minecraft

The whole thing reeks of spyware

Hell even the installation was all about "Please allow us to collect your PC data"

Some of the points you can't even turn off

[broken pollen]

lmao

yeah

[cursive summit]

Dunno ever since Twitch removed Minecraft mods I now have to use Curse, which is part of Overwolf

Well Overwolf is currently installed, Twitch is uninstalled

And I only run the spyware apps whenever I want to play the games on the platform

[ashen spindle]

yeah they have one now

so you can get the games you get with amaozn prime etc.

it's a piece of garbage

[cursive summit]

I only had it for Minecraft mods

Curse sold out to them or some shit

That's how my tray looks 90% of the time

When DC is not running and Steam replaces it

I can't handle 3x3 tray, too much background shit running

[wheat plume]

systray uwu

[wheat plume]

[cursive summit]

Eh

[wheat plume]

oh hm

[cursive summit]

It's standard sized

[wheat plume]

then how two system tray rows?

[cursive summit]

?

What

[wheat plume]

two systray rows

[cursive summit]

Yeah what about it

Lol what

You want my OCD to kick in?

I hate unclean places

I prefer to hide them in tray until I want to use them

I have a massive OCD for lack of organisation

No it's called "having a clean taskbar"

[wheat plume]

oh lol mom's phone order

[cursive summit]

Note 8

[ivory geyser]

What is wrong with Note 8?

[cursive summit]

I have my task manager memorized

[ivory geyser]

I have Redmi Note 8T

[cursive summit]

So I check it periodically

If something isn't right in Task Manager, my OCD kick in again

[wheat plume]

so does 5 people I know :')

[ivory geyser]

It is a fairly nice phone

[cursive summit]

Time to hunt rogue apps that shouldn't be running

Cause I like lightshot

Never used sharex

Dunno what it does

And I am very happy with Lightshot

Snap, edit, clipboard, upload

[wheat plume]

How badly will delivery get rekt by covid delays from amazon de?

[ivory geyser]

About a week I think

[cursive summit]

@wheat plume Depends on what they ship with

[wheat plume]

a week total or extra?

[cursive summit]

Nah the delivery is fine

[ivory geyser]

That is GUESS.

[cursive summit]

Don't worry about it

[reef tundra]

I like xclip

Fuck Xiaomi

Like seriously

fuck them and their repairs

They charged me 25 quid to get my phone back

[wheat plume]

🤔

[pale sigil]

as they refused to repair multiple issues cos of one small crack on the back

Don’t trust em saying they don’t care

About custom roms

[thick elk]

Interestingly ZTE is pretty chill about it, they explicitely state that they repair water damage once and a broken screen in the first 6 months under warrantee, that said I have not had to try it.

As for the back, I really wish phones moved back to plastics in general, as they are the superior materials from a technical standpoint.

[wheat plume]

yeh, I dont like glass

[thick elk]

samsung nailed it with the note 3 / s5 / note4

[broken pollen]

I like metal

[thick elk]

Metal is incompatible with wireless charging and blocks wireless. So also not ideal. leather like lg did once kind of goes a bit far, which leaves a whole lot of different plastic options

[broken pollen]

Thats true but i dont use that shot

Also as far as blocking Wi-Fi goes, idk where you got that from

The antennas are not even under the metal

[ivory geyser]

I do :P

[broken pollen]

Glass is nice untill it cracks

[wheat plume]

not on the back, too fragile

[ivory geyser]

Why would it crack?

[broken pollen]

I prefer metal and plastic anyday

Im accident prone

[wheat plume]

my current phone is ceramic :D

no scratch

[broken pollen]

My lg from 2017 is metal

[wheat plume]

my last phone before ceramic was metal

I loved it

[broken pollen]

Its still in amazing condition

[ivory geyser]

Like tbh, I dont give 2 fucks if there are cracks at the back of the phone or not.

[thick elk]

my current phone is metal zte axon 7

[broken pollen]

If I have a glass back

I'm putting a case on 100%

Gorilla glass 7 or not

I dont trust myself

[ivory geyser]

What were you trying to get fixed even?

[wheat plume]

https://www.xiaomi.ie/smart-phones/

is this an official site??!!

[ivory geyser]

Eh, might be

[broken pollen]

Yws

It is

[thick elk]

definitely, my case has a dent in the corner that would have shattered a glass back for sure

[broken pollen]

Look at contact us page

🙏

My phone is in better condition than probably most peoples on my house, despite being a whole year or 2 older

Metal is good man

Very premium feel

[analog aspen]

@old marlin thoughts on the MZ1? (I know you dislike Rocket Jump Ninja tho)

[misty pier]

man I want a ceramic phone

probably heavy as fuck but that stuff is strong

[wheat plume]

Yeah
It's heavy for sure xd

But no scratches or cracks

Give it a wipe and it look brand new

190 grams apparently

[broken pollen]

Ah yes

The first phones to be made from graphene

[true quest]

uranium for infinite battery?

[halcyon moss]

well if i remember correctly, qualcom has a wireless charging thing that works with metal.. but since it never really surfaced.. its probably not that great

[misty saffron]

you’re saying i need to use vulkan to wirelessly charge my iphone??

fucking hell apple...

[astral haven]

i mean

tesla had a ton of trouble getting significant wireless power over the air too lel

wut

[halcyon moss]

you can do wireless power, but it is very inefficient, even when doing something like beam forming. might be usable for low power devices. but really, who wants to live in a microwave oven?

[astral haven]

the big problem with sending power over the air is that the power has to go over the air lmao

yes but not charge 1% per day slow

[halcyon moss]

it is on some phones. i thought even the pixels have something like it these days

lemme check..

[astral haven]

most phones just have a trickle charge after 80%

[halcyon moss]

cant find it on my 2xl

i dont think an app can change the charging of a phone

[astral haven]

if you root there is

https://smile.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-PowerPort-MacBook-Galaxy/dp/B086YGHRNP/
just get a pps charger

if your phone supports it, itll vastly increase the lifespan of your battery

[halcyon moss]

a what charger?

[astral haven]

pps charger

https://smile.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-PowerPort-MacBook-Galaxy/dp/B086YGHRNP/

it allows your phone to vary the charge voltage over time

[halcyon moss]

but doesnt every usb-c power delivery system allow that?

[astral haven]

nope

as in the voltage will vary over time

as in itll start charging at for example 8.8 volts

then decrease the voltage down to 7.4 over the course of an hour

regular pd just sets a specific voltage

and the phone takes that voltage and has to reconvert it to the real charge voltage

its like electric car dc fast charging

on electric cars it allows for 5x the charge speed at the same heat

on phones its like 3x because of how few cells it is

[astral haven]

i have a 65w output battery

and it has a dc port too

its 65w on usb c tho still

it kept my laptop running for 20 hours constantly watching movies

nope

4k24

some hdr some not

not on internet

from sd card

it was on a plane flight lel

2 with a transfer in the middle

also there are 20 hour flights im pretty sure

yea they are new

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-10-19/i-just-took-the-world-s-first-20-hour-flight-here-s-what-it-did-to-me
ah it was planned but then didnt happen

bring a pack of them

[halcyon moss]

thats a huge difference

almost too good to be true

[halcyon moss]

oh wow, ninox astrum is sorta alive

[wheat plume]

Nvidia: knows there is a supply problem for their 3000 series cards
Nvidia: releases a crappy gt 1010 instead

[fickle ore]

@halcyon moss ppppppppppffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

see ya in 2027

[wheat plume]

:/

[thick elk]

gt 1010 could be useful as a diplay out, if you need more than 3 monitors or don't need a gpu and use a non apu. At work we used a decent number of gt 710's for that reason. Having a refresh of your cheap display out card every once in a while is nice.

[ashen spindle]

yes its a refresh of the gt710, idk why you'd get mad at them for keeping a thing people want in stock when it doesn't affect 3000 series supply at all

[astral haven]

nope

no nvenc

watching videos isnt nvenc

watching videos is nvdec which it has

not complicated

enc = encoding

dec = decoding

encoding and decoding on gpus was introduced in 2000

ish

2004

[astral haven]

what happened to the hm2?

afaik literally no phones ever used it

i mean

thats how all phone image sensors over 16 mp work

to some extent

most use 4:1

sensor doesnt have ai inside

that would be problems

thats all left to the isp

the sensor is always meant to provide the most precise data possible

ai is handled by the sensor processor

which one?

neat

s20u had hm1 and s21u has hm3 so thats why its like uh
wher hm2 be

seems they want to make it so that super high supersonic flight is ok

i mean

conventional concorde style is still banned

no

concorde style needs to stay banned

unless we can fix mach cones

yea

but like

normal altitude supersonic is banned

[astral haven]

and until

it will remain so rightfully

do i spy a nasa symbol there?

but thats still not quiet™️

yes but if their goal is loud instead of deafening
thats not great still

[old marlin]

regular high speed planes are already noisy af

[urban lynx]

hides in german BER airport

[old marlin]

the BER is such a meme

I am glad I never have to see it IRL

since frankfurt and kassel are close

[urban lynx]

planning for BER started with germans reunion.
actual construction started 2006 i think.

i think it opened like, idk. november?

apparently 31st october 2020

fitting, for the horror it has been

[wheat plume]

ew....

:') i need to watch those ads again

damn, a €160 gift

[reef patrol]

That doesn't seem out of place?

[wheat plume]

idk

[foggy solstice]

Jewellery is expensive too sometimes. It's a matter of class. Keyboards definitely make for better gifts though.

[halcyon moss]

but diamonds are forever!

Some ppl give laptops as presents.

[wheat plume]

I dont even know

:') why is Idek in the display name in the nvidia settings?

[ashen spindle]

...bc that's the name of the display?

[wheat plume]

hmm, havent seen it elsewhere

[ashen spindle]

company is like what, 40+ years old now?

[wheat plume]

yeh, iiyama

ive never seen "Idek" anywhere in the name or the model name anywhere outside the nvidia settings

[cursive summit]

IDEK is/was officially part of the brand name: IDEK iiyama. https://iiyama.com/gl_en/company/#history

[wheat plume]

yeah xd I see

[cursive summit]

Legacy branding

Which I guess no one really bothers to fix

[wheat plume]

interesting

[cursive summit]

Iiyama's a cool ass company though

Japanese ingenuity

[wheat plume]

they have showrooms, wow

oh my

they have an 85" one too

[cursive summit]

85" one?

That's like the size of the TV I would want to have

[wheat plume]

96" also on the website too but not listed under the results

[hard thicket]

96" is the point where i'd even appreciate 8K

due to the pixel density

without having to sit like 10m away from it

but yeah..

oof

[crisp granite]

holy fuckballs

[hard thicket]

98Kg without the stand

98!!!

jesus

[crisp granite]

€80000 for a TV

nice one

[hard thicket]

that's a car right there

a decent one aswell

[crisp granite]

that's a solid few years of student debt gone

that would be lovely

actually

not where I am

maybe in rural finland

[hard thicket]

a small one for sure

[crisp granite]

nope

a small bungalow here will run you at least $300000 CAD

so, no

[hard thicket]

but yeah, a man needs priorities amrite....

[crisp granite]

yes

student debt first and foremost

spending on houses and cars 'n shit can wait

[hard thicket]

imagine getting that with a 5 year saving

then you mount it on the wall

[crisp granite]

no

[hard thicket]

and it falls off

[crisp granite]

yikes

christ

[hard thicket]

i am for sure my wall can't handle 98kg

not without 40 holes

[crisp granite]

it must cost them at least 10000 euros to make one for that price to be even remotely justified

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume

[wheat plume]

X to doubt

[crisp granite]

otherwise known as spyware

[ivory geyser]

Does it actually work tho?

[wheat plume]

You have to use it from vanced manager now

So doubt that is real

^^

[pale sigil]

Kinda the main lull here

[misty pier]

holy shit that's enough to buy a maxed out tesla here in the states

[hard thicket]

you can buy the tv and watch teslas in 8K

[umbral knot]

tvs are hecka expensive

[hard thicket]

[pale sigil]

I mean any early tech is

[misty pier]

or buy a single family home in america

paid off fully

[hard thicket]

tv's are especially expensive compared to any other tech department

[misty pier]

but still not enough to cover 4 years of student debt though

[hard thicket]

the prices shoot down by like 70% after 1-2 years

[misty pier]

makes it seem not worth it

[pale sigil]

Ha

That hurts my soul

That my debt amounts to a TV

Like fuck man

My debt which is insane

Is just a casual TV to some rich dude

Well actually more

Due to conversion

[wheat plume]

aww <3 cat go a blep

[misty pier]

curved edge :|

[wheat plume]

That name isnt the most inspiring :')

[crisp granite]

true

tbh, it looks like one of those cheap chinese 60%s with gateron or kailh switches

[ivory geyser]

@wheat plume you wanna get a 60%?

[pale sigil]

Anyone interested in buying 2x8gb ddr4

2133hz

@wheat plume how much are you wanting to spend

[wheat plume]

no, I was looking at the suggested products on banggood

[pale sigil]

Oh

[wheat plume]

the name caught my attention :')

[pale sigil]

It's pretty common

In the mech market

To have fun or weird names

[wheat plume]

€37
wireless
mech keyboard

🤔

[ivory geyser]

@wheat plume comes with shit switches probably. Arguably bad PCB and quality too

[pale sigil]

I ugh

Didn't mean free

[old marlin]

37 euro mech already screams outemu dustproof

[pale sigil]

Oops

Oh

[ashen spindle]

1 million dollar

[pale sigil]

Nah

I have standards

£1.01m

[pale sigil]

Dam, Scrubs is different than i remember

[urban lynx]

where could you watch it anyway?

[halcyon moss]

onplex apparently 😉

[pale sigil]

Ye i totally dont have access to a 135-175tb of content.

Not at all.

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/2X-ZayiWAKo

idk if this should be here or #🐸│memes

[reef patrol]

...yes

[crisp granite]

mmm

dennis pc

I remember him on worst setups

that was really bad

[shadow minnow]

my HomePod mini arrived today, on my birthday PogChamp.
Ordered it in November and they said it will arrive in November, but finally

[hard thicket]

wasn't dennis the one with the crusty socks under his bed...

[wheat plume]

Uh

[hard thicket]

ngl that was really awfull to watch

it hurts

[misty pier]

is that their new ssd

[crisp granite]

oh my fucking lord

you have got to be kidding me

[ashen spindle]

never seen the inside of a sata ssd before?

[crisp granite]

I have

but never one so empty before

for that to be 1 tb though

that's pretty cool

[ashen spindle]

I mean, if there are 4TB m2 ssds that are smaller, makes sense in a bigger are they also easily fit in?

[crisp granite]

true

[ashen spindle]

not like sata adds a billion thins that take extra area

[crisp granite]

I just thought they used lower density chips for sata ssds

surely they are cheaper capacity for capacity

[ashen spindle]

uhh I'm pretty sure they are mostly the same

just slapped onto different pcbs

[wheat plume]

O.o they offering the big boiz

[pale sigil]

o.0

Didn't know people get braided ethernet cables

[wheat plume]

anyone know a way to make fish shell switch into the directory you create automatically?

``function mkdir -d "Create a directory and set CWD"
command mkdir $argv
if test $status = 0
switch $argv[(count $argv)]
case '-*'

        case '*'
            cd $argv[(count $argv)]
            return
    end
end

end
``

its literally the sample function on their documentation!

[crisp granite]

o.O

amazing

[wheat plume]

Is it bad for the phone battery if you use a charger that's slower than the one the phone comes with?

[pale sigil]

Shouldn't be no

i swap between fast and slow sometimes

when i go to bed for example i use slow charging

[astral haven]

fast chargers that arent the one that came with your phone can degrade the battery faster than the one that came with your phone

[wheat plume]

I think my current phone charger is 20w
The new one is 35W I think

[astral haven]

but slow chargers are fine

[wheat plume]

Idek

[astral haven]

what phone

[wheat plume]

Mi Mix 2S

Just ordered a Mi Note 10 Lite

[astral haven]

neither support the new style fast charging so you should be good

[wheat plume]

Hmm
Alright

[astral haven]

actually not sure how the note 10 lite charges

it might be a custom xiaomi version of the pps fast charging

[wheat plume]

I just realised that I'll need a plug adapter for the new phone
But it's apparently ok to use my existing charger for my mix that doesn't have an adapter

[astral haven]

which charger do you have? (that you can use)

[wheat plume]

Cause it comes with a two prong charger :/

I have a three prong charger

[astral haven]

no as in from which phone

[wheat plume]

Mix 2S

[astral haven]

do you have any other usb chargers?

[wheat plume]

Not any faster ones

[astral haven]

yea

i meant slow ones

[wheat plume]

I have slower ones for sure

[astral haven]

id use the slow ones overnight with the 18w one reserved for when you need the speed

[wheat plume]

Oh
The 2S charger is 18
Idk why I thought it was 20

[astral haven]

itll absolutely work, but this

makes me think that the note 10 lite is using custom fast charging

[wheat plume]

Oh?

[astral haven]

30w isnt a normal usbpd speed

[wheat plume]

Oh....
Then how do some phones reach 60W?

[astral haven]

not using pd

pps is able to go aloooooot higher

also not a normal speed as in people go for 35 or 25 or 18

[wheat plume]

Oh.....

I'm getting anxious
My order still not sent out

[ivory geyser]

What did you order?

[crisp granite]

probably more shit monitors

jk

[wheat plume]

The note 10 lite

[wheat plume]

You really still judging my choices?!

[crisp granite]

no

[ivory geyser]

Yes

[crisp granite]

fine

yes

I still am

[wheat plume]

.-.

[crisp granite]

you could have gotten a really nice panel for the same amount

[ivory geyser]

But Lana we like judging you... you make funny emotes and noises when we do

[crisp granite]

;)

[wheat plume]

[reef tundra]

Fast-charge is not good if you want it to last more charge cycles. It wears it out more

[wheat plume]

Downloading the miui 12 android 11 update incase it isn't showing up on the phone for me

For a phone I don't have yet lel

[ivory geyser]

Why download it if it doesnt get offered to you yet?

There is likely a reason for it

[pale sigil]

ugh

buying the same switch which i paid quite a bit less for 3 years ago hurts my soul

gotta love same day delivery tho

[pale sigil]

Was so annoying untangling that

Holy

[true quest]

leave it alone for a day and it will revert to its original form

[vagrant marsh]

yea i posted a spec sheet of that in here a few days ago

idk if anyone read it lmao

[vagrant marsh]

this is what confuses me

adata new pcie 4.0 nvme

appearently, they cant do graphs correct

[misty pier]

welp

looks like I need a new mouse
