[neat oriole]

Yeah ifi and by your standards they would be the least “accurate” source gear

[astral haven]

Thought ifi made some good stuff?

[neat oriole]

They’re all very warm

And overpriced imo

But better availability than Schiit

[astral haven]

I meant more their cheaper stuff

[neat oriole]

Still overpriced imo

[astral haven]

Thought they had a dongle and a portable amp that were ok

[neat oriole]

The hip dac?

That’s still more than a modi

[astral haven]

I dunno

I guess since I didn't see much of their stuff that does include the fact that I ignore the expensive stuffs lol

[neat oriole]

[zenith sonnet]

@neat oriole Why was music louder when I plugged the Sundara in my AMP, but general audio more silent than my K712?

[neat oriole]

Maybe you had some weird sound settings?

[zenith sonnet]

I didn't change any

[neat oriole]

What amp do you have again?

[zenith sonnet]

E10K

[neat oriole]

You could

[astral haven]

There's nothing wrong with it 🤷

[neat oriole]

Upgrade path goes dongle -> Modi

You could just get the dongle for now but I mean the Modi is technically better but it’s also several times more.

But idk where you’d get the dongle if you don’t want to use Amazon or Aliexpress

@zenith sonnet maybe you have enhance sound or something turned on in device properties?

[zenith sonnet]

Hell no

[neat oriole]

Meizu dong is just one version

[astral haven]

Apple dongle is only good because it's available everywhere and is mega cheap

[neat oriole]

Yeah but in EU Apple dong is a bit gimped so the standard Rec for non-NA is meizu dong

It’s basically the same dongle

Same chip

[astral haven]

Getting an imported apple dongle defeats the purpose lel

[neat oriole]

Then I guess Modi it is

[astral haven]

Chifi best fi

[neat oriole]

There’s like one good dac under $500 from China

[astral haven]

Isn't the balanced 9015 reference good? (Aliexpress)

I didn't investigate it much since it seemed like a lot of work but it is cheap

[neat oriole]

Idk never heard of it, googled it and all that came up was a printer

[astral haven]

Also the dac-x6 is very solid

It's a generic board you can find on aliexpress by searching balanced dac

[neat oriole]

This thing?

[astral haven]

Ye

[neat oriole]

It wasn’t good when it first came out it’s still not very good

Legit dongle is better

Don’t be fooled by the fat 1/4” jack

[astral haven]

Dongle doesn't have a volume knob

[neat oriole]

So

Just use system volume

Until you can pair an amp

[astral haven]

Ew tho

[neat oriole]

[astral haven]

Not being able to adjust the volume with a knob is dum

And for $40 for a solid better than built in experience it's pretty good

[neat oriole]

Dongle is $9

Or $20 for the meizu

[astral haven]

But knob

[neat oriole]

Get a better amp later

[astral haven]

Also dongle can't push much voltage

[neat oriole]

You don’t need much

Unless you’re trying to listen at like 95db+

Why do you care about balanced?

Balanced is pointless unless you have something that really needs a lot of fucking power

Like old planars

Or some of the modern high end ones

[astral haven]

Balanced is a stick you can wack on a system and it's magically less affected by emi

[neat oriole]

Like LCD4 or Susvara

[astral haven]

And balanced is most useful for low power stuff

[neat oriole]

What

[astral haven]

Specially iems

Where they are super sensitive to any random nonsense in your area

[neat oriole]

Just stop buying shitty source gear with high oi for iems

It’s that simple

[astral haven]

That's not the problem

Problem is computers

Computers emit tons of emi

Especially computers with graphics cards

[neat oriole]

Unless your dac or amp is literally right next to your GPU/CPU it’s not going to be audible

[astral haven]

That's not true?

[neat oriole]

That’s why they’re external

And why most sound cards suck

[astral haven]

Wouldn't say that

[reef tundra]

Anything electrical emits emi that is how electromagnets work

[astral haven]

Just different priorities

[neat oriole]

Yeah I prioritize things sounding good

[astral haven]

Yes but audible emi is the problem

And gpus often emit whine at screen refresh rate

[reef tundra]

Give it an faraday cage then

[astral haven]

And if you are running a tiny amount of voltage into sensitive iems, it can be a problem

Faraday cages are ugly

[reef tundra]

Then increase the voltage

[astral haven]

Pop goes the eardrum

[neat oriole]

Assuming it has some shielding on it it’s probably not audible, but there was an issue with the RTX cards where you could “hear” mouse movement due to the emi

[astral haven]

That's not how that works

It's downcosted graphics cards in general

[zenith sonnet]

I got a Faraday cage around my GPU

[astral haven]

Gigabyte "gaming" series
Msi armor
Evga blacks

[zenith sonnet]

It's called a case

[astral haven]

Coil whine is a side effect of electrical noise

No

More caps = less noise

[neat oriole]

Like as long as your amp/DAC is outside the system I don’t see how there would be any sort of noise interference?

[astral haven]

My 780ti screams like a mofo over 300 fps at above 2002

[reef tundra]

Not really.. sometimes you need inductors to counter phaseshifting

[astral haven]

But my 980ti doesnt

[astral haven]

Glass side panels

Or in my scenario open air benches

[zenith sonnet]

I'm not sure my VII is audible any more
But it has power delivery built like a tank and I've got like the best PSU you can buy

[astral haven]

Amd reference designs are solid

[zenith sonnet]

Lemme turn off RTSS and try to push it a little

[reef tundra]

make sure to earth the metal box for even better effects

[zenith sonnet]

Like, a PC case?

[astral haven]

I have yet to have a real case lel

First PC case was salvaged from e-waste

After that I got a motherboard tray from this ancient antec case (also ewaste)

And now I'm using this slidey mining rig as a case

[zenith sonnet]

Welp, 1000-5000 FPS are completely inaudible

[astral haven]

Nice

You also gotta be pushing some current tho

Usually I see it in game menus

?

People using 3d menus?

Also framecaps make it worse

[old marlin]

Every website is 3d

[zenith sonnet]

I was able to hear some minor whine when I put my ear to the case at 2000 FPS

[astral haven]

Most games don't unload the game when you open the pause menu lel

[zenith sonnet]

Tbh, there's so many ways to limit FPS
It's fine for devs to give players the option to have them unlimited

[cursive summit]

Yeah fuck me

My mobo is faulty

Just watching a random video on YT with no real background apps

Suddenly video stops, hear a small pop in the headphones

PC lights are still on and it appears to be "on", but keyboard clicks not registering, mouse not moving, and caps lock key not lighting up

Basically mobo decided to hit early grave

PSU power off did resuscitate it

So it booted up again fine

But man fuck ASUS

[reef patrol]

Ugh.... My NAS won't get an IP.

But the PC has internet.

[old marlin]

it does have DHCP activated?

[crimson wigeon]

Just assign static addresses to all servery machines, ez

[reef patrol]

DCHP all up in this batch.

[old marlin]

can you give it a static IP in your network?

[reef patrol]

BIOS can grab updates just fine.

Listen here you little shit...you can has internet

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/headbang-banging-head-hole-in-the-wall-hit-the-wall-gif-15167632

[zenith sonnet]

What makes it even worse is that you can see a cross cut in the paper

[reef tundra]

Smashing your head into a wall is not the most healthy activity you can do

[reef patrol]

For the LOVE OF JOBE.

I fixed it.

Had to manually set an IP... For no reason. Guess it can't into DHCP all of a sudden.

[reef patrol]

I need more NAS drives xD

My 6TB is running out fast.

[ashen spindle]

just get 12tb drives ez

[reef patrol]

[urban lynx]

and i thought me and my 4TB were a lot in my computer...

[reef patrol]

It stores all of my movies, series and old game discs. That eats up a lot of space 😄

Anything I've paid for at some point, and don't stream.

[misty pier]

I’m considering upping my storage to 2TB

gameplay footage eats a lot of space

[thick elk]

I recently upgraded my nas to 6tb but also because one of my drives in raid1 failed.

I had 2tb before

The working drive is still in there as overflow for I get from public trackers.

[reef patrol]

Hmm... a 12TB drive isn't actually THAT expensive.

Might just add another 8TB though and forget about data backups. Nothing I can't replace.

[reef patrol]

Blingiest NAS in five boroughs. The motherboard has RGB, The RAM has RGB. It has a massive AIO cooler xD

[zenith sonnet]

Do they make longer cables? 1.2m is definitely on the short side

That one? According to Ares it was the only one he found that he considered a good cable...

Sturdy, flexible, non-microphonic? Good build quality

The cable being silver only makes it an actually useful piece of Jewelery

[reef patrol]

Technovikings only

[zenith sonnet]

Biggest issue is definitely the length

Luckily I have an 3.5mm extension cable

Second problem is that the cable itself is really, really bad

It twists and curls and it is flimsy

I have my audio crap under my desk

I really hate having a cable across my desk

I don't mind putting the audio stuff under the monitor if I can route the cable under the desk

But most of them have the output on the front

And it makes things weird

I do not want a cable in the area between myself and the keyboard

[vagrant marsh]

@cursive summit ur mobo is dead?

[zenith sonnet]

I route it under my desk

#archived_wootstations message

See where that cable comes in?
I have a drawer there under the desk, cable runs on top of that

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586573066570694688/684160279395041341/IMG_20200302_230621.jpg

AMP is just under the desk, USB cable from the PC goes under

I'm probably going toget a longer extension cable and route that under the desk, and find a space for the Schiit stack up here

[urban lynx]

KITTY

[zenith sonnet]

And just plug the headphones into that

That's an option, too

Yeah, I don't really feel like spending 250€ on two cables either right now

They're not even silver, but silver plated copper

[misty pier]

you really dont need expensive cables

[zenith sonnet]

We know

The issue is finding cables with excellent build quality in the first place

[frozen vale]

Could always make your own...

[misty pier]

just add techflex

boom

can’t really ruin it

[reef patrol]

FFFFFFFF- Accidentally reset my Plex libraries.

Welp. This is going to take forever to fix.

[thick elk]

Never used it myself either. Just using kodi + SFTP

[reef patrol]

My Chromecast sure as heck doesn't.

And I mostly treat it as offline Netflix.

To keep track of watched content 😄

[thick elk]

I just have a htpc that auto boots into kodi near the tv, if I didn't a raspberry pi would have been a good solution as well.

[reef patrol]

Plex is Wife friendly 😄

She can barely stream as is.

90% of the time it fetches the best subs and ... it just works. 😄

[thick elk]

I guess so, though kodi is dad friendly in my case as well.
Oh and 99% of the time I don't need to fetch extra subs anyway.

I can understand if you need subs in some other language than english though.

Last time I did use non english subs was for some German show, can't remember exactly but German maps much better to Dutch than to english.

I can understand your use of plex though.

Have not watched much anime since 2012 or so.
most of the time I just used the ones that came with the torrent.

For playback I mostly use vlc nowadays.

Hardly ever use the tv anyway.

I mean tv as the big screen in the living room. Instead of one of my pc monitors.

tv programming here is not always that bad, but if I ever bother to move out I am pretty sure I won't get a tv if it's up to me.

In the odd case I ever end up with a GF this may be different though.

[neat oriole]

@zenith sonnet hmmm if you want a longer cable I guess hart audio or periapt is your only option

How far away is your amp tho?

My amp is pretty close to the edge of my desk so all my cables are all around 1.2m

[neat oriole]

Yeah ifi is kinda weird like that

[reef patrol]

🤨

[neat oriole]

Nah

There’s a lot of reliability issues with topping overall

I don’t think I’ve ever had a topping make it past 2 year kek

Also topping sounds really “dead”

They design their gear around being the best measuring and as a result they sound pretty compressed

Hmmm not too familiar with it

It’s a wolfson chip so probably sounds like old iPods

If you remember those

It’s on the warmer side

Oh the element isn’t warm

I was talking about the dac magic thing

Element isn’t super great value but it does have a big sexy knob so you know

Priorities

Something like the atom stack will sound pretty similar but cheaper

Atom is also made in USA

But I get it if you want that big sexy knob

It’s a nice knob

The atom is USA

Also JDS labs

Sound wise they’re very close

Some higher end stuff

Like 1k+

What’s aspen

Ahhh

But yeah get the element if you really want the convenience of a combo unit and the metal enclosure and the knob

But something like the Schiit Stack or Atom stack will pretty much match it for performance

And is $150 less

But obviously separate units, more cables etc

Some people have made these for their schiit

This one is $20

Maybe one day audio gear will have USB PD

[misty saffron]

i really fucking hate the fact manufacturers put usb-c ports on their shit

but don’t support pd

[ivory geyser]

[thick elk]

I never played it but did watch this video

[crisp granite]

sadly the fortnite community is into a fairly niche form factor

and since they drive sales for wooting for the moment, they're the primary interest and target

[reef patrol]

Too bad for them 😛

Lekker and HE are full size and take priorities.

[crisp granite]

thank fuck

first time not buying a numpad, f row and arrow keys

and I hate it and will never deviate from the true path again

[reef patrol]

I just wheeled and dealed myself to another TKL xD

My full size Cherry board is too wiiiiiiiide

[crisp granite]

cherry boards have thicc bezels though

[reef patrol]

They do.

[crisp granite]

then just don't get a 40%

easy peezy

tbh, I do want to try a preonic sometime

a portable mech keeb would be great, something I could keep in a coat pocket for when I need my tactility fix

[neat oriole]

Fuck layers

All my homies hate layers

[crisp granite]

honestly

layers are alright

you're sacrificing dedicated keys for functions for a smaller footprint

some people are willing to make that sacrifice

[neat oriole]

I’m thinking about getting a plank as a macro board or something

[pale sigil]

took me a few secs to get that

[reef patrol]

[solar hinge]

apple users would be getting a room with bullet proof walls and a gun with one bullet that can shoot 5cm far...

to whoever said i was foolish to get a 3090 because the 3080ti will have 20GB vram 😄
the tides have shifted https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-with-12gb-memory-to-launch-in-april

[reef patrol]

Hmm...

[crisp granite]

...mmH

[ashen spindle]

the price and basically 0% performance gain still makes the 3090 a bad choice for gaming

[solar hinge]

what price though, 3080s are going for 1200-1400 in the stores here 😄

when they are actually there 😄

[ashen spindle]

like 900-1100 every week on mindfactory?

[solar hinge]

not in belgium and the netherlands 😄

queue's for every version is over 200

[wheat plume]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/razer-huntsman-v2-analog-keyboard-review-pressure-sensitive-swank

[crisp granite]

I'm disappointed

tom's hardware has tapped chryosran22 before

but didn't with this

[wheat plume]

Ooo?

[ivory geyser]

So many complains about the pricing, woah

[wheat plume]

Yep
It's mega expensive

[crisp granite]

it is more expensive than the K100

[ivory geyser]

Well, Razer tax

[crisp granite]

which is a $320 CAD keyboard

[wheat plume]

Tbh
I took so long to get a Wooting cause of the price also

But I don't really use analog so any mech board would be fine for me

I just it in gta though

[crisp granite]

I guess I am too

customs is hard to stomach

[wheat plume]

Oh yeah

[ivory geyser]

Thing is, Wooting has the added benefit of basically unbreakable switches, easy maintance and cleaning. So the keyboard is MUCH more likely to outlive any Razer product unless the PCB randomly kicks the bucket.

[neat oriole]

My NK65 milkshake is coming in a month maybe

It’ll be my fist “custom”

[wheat plume]

Yep!

[crisp granite]

mhm

so ready for switches like that

[neat oriole]

I would say flaretech isn’t that robust

Hall effect tho

[wheat plume]

Wait the switches in the razer aren't swappable??

[ivory geyser]

No

[wheat plume]

LOL

[crisp granite]

tbh, razer optical and flaretech switches should be rated in years of LED life

[ivory geyser]

They arent even openable

Like, at all

[wheat plume]

O

Wow

[ivory geyser]

You literally have to BREAK the switch.

Not even Chyros managed to open one without breaking it

[wheat plume]

Ffs

[ivory geyser]

What is gonna break on a flaratech?

[neat oriole]

The stem

[crisp granite]

the stem is the only real concern

[neat oriole]

Which is critical for the switch to function

[ivory geyser]

Well ok, but that break from shitty manipulation.

[wheat plume]

Yes
I heard some people had that happen

Luckily you get some spares

[crisp granite]

I guess the fake contacts for the click jacket could also fail with enough use

[ivory geyser]

Then you just take out the leaf and turn it into linears

[wheat plume]

I might try taking apart one of the spare ones I have

To see it

[crisp granite]

extra snappy linears

no

[neat oriole]

But yeah the main weakness of the flaretech is the somewhat flimsy stem

[crisp granite]

which sucks

[neat oriole]

Which is why HE is great

[ivory geyser]

Ok assuming you wont randomly break the stem: There isnt really anything else that can fail.

[crisp granite]

the one weak point of an otherwise near indestructible switch

[neat oriole]

They could make the stem out of a more robust material and the magnet is gonna be fine for at least decades before it starts to affect the accuracy

[ivory geyser]

I still think the stems break, because people dont know how to pull on keycaps properly tbh...

I swapped caps on my board like 5 times already, even the dreaded Razer PBT that was supposedly breaking people's stems.

And it did nothing to my Wooting

[crisp granite]

I use a screwdriver and just stab at the side of the cap till it comes off

jk

I use a wire puller

[ivory geyser]

Nice

[crisp granite]

like a normal person

[ivory geyser]

I need to get one of those

But like yea, 250$ for a premade keeb is insane. I feel like Razer quite heavily overshot that.

[neat oriole]

Regardless of user error or w/e the stem was quite a bit weaker than other stems on the market

[ivory geyser]

180-200$ would have worked.

[ivory geyser]

True

[crisp granite]

the switches they use ain't cheap

[neat oriole]

Nah that’s the price of a regular razer board

[crisp granite]

a gamepad with those switches was 180-200

a full keeb with them would clearly be more

[ivory geyser]

My GF managed to get a Huntsman TE for 80$

[neat oriole]

To be fair that’s a niche product so it’s priced higher to offset lower sales

[crisp granite]

ye

but probably not by enough to matter

[neat oriole]

The huntsman elite is already $200 so it wouldn’t make sense to price the newer analog version at $200

And also a higher msrp means sales prices will seem like a better deal than they are

[ivory geyser]

The worst part about it is that it is essentially useless.

[wheat plume]

What's this?

Oh hmm

I noticed a grid sometimes on that grey that Google apps use

[ivory geyser]

So Lana, when are you getting the Razer analog keeb?

[wheat plume]

I don't want to spend that much xd or use razer software

Xd

I have their speakers and their software doesn't even recognize them .-.

^^^

I also like boards that don't need software
You just change the lights and whatnot with keyboard shortcuts

[neat oriole]

Nah sofware lighting offers better customization imo

[wheat plume]

True

[neat oriole]

Best lighting I’ve seen are on steelseries boards tbh

In terms of brightness and accuracy

Steelseries even made mini games built into keyboards to demo their lighting

Was kinda fun

[wheat plume]

Cooler master has snake xf

My friend plays it on his keyboard sometimes

Aha
They only mention Wooting once

Wait
Optional usb C?

The razer one is wireless?

Gaming on MacOS seems pretty crappy other than Apple arcade

True

They are hoping on rosetta working well

How do you show fps on games launched from epic?

Cause last light redux seems laggy af for me

Oh hmm

[ivory geyser]

You dont

Just use gforce experience for that if you have nvidia.

[wheat plume]

Oh

[neat oriole]

But why

Probably should’ve just waited for Schiit restock but it’s your money I guess

I doubt an 8 year old dac will be competitive with a Schiit Modi or even the dongle but guess you’ll find out

you do you man

wtf is a ".spec.ts" file? Each chart here on the website has one.

[halcyon moss]

typescript binding files

[wheat plume]

i cant show a code snippet cause NDA ;-;.

I need help figuring out what it does

[crimson wigeon]

Angular? Gross

[halcyon moss]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37502809/what-are-the-spec-ts-files-generated-by-angular-cli-for

[wheat plume]

There is a lot of frameworks used in the code I noticed

Slim
Angular
Jest

[crimson wigeon]

Well that's just webdev in general, the more frameworks the better it is

Out of those I've only messed around with Angular and I hate it, it just seems incredibly overengineered and overcomplicated like "we absolutely must use all the fancy language features!!!"

[wheat plume]

so far the only use of Angular I see in this code is to use the chart class

to display charts

This spec.ts file has tests in it apparently
I see .toBeTruthy() a few times and that is JEST

[old marlin]

3080 is completely sold out in germany again

[ivory geyser]

Angular is shit.

If you want a good framework, use React or Vue

[zenith sonnet]

Germany might be one of the best places in the world to get graphics cards atm

Since electricity costs so much mining isn't worth it

[old marlin]

foreign buyers though

[wheat plume]

I aint got a choice , the codes already made xd I must document it though :/ cause the original coder only put comments in some of the files

[old marlin]

cheapest 3080 on kleinanzeigen is 700 euros

[reef patrol]

That's below MSRP

[zenith sonnet]

That's a fair price

MSRP is 699, afaik

[old marlin]

is a gaming trio

says it comes with an invoice

would be careful obv

[reef patrol]

Ah...it's german craigslist.

[old marlin]

basically

[zenith sonnet]

I still wish I could sell my VIIs right now

900€ a pop is more than I paid new

[old marlin]

[reef patrol]

Listing looks sus af.

[old marlin]

yup

[last cave]

kleinanzeigen = scam

[old marlin]

not necessarily

made a lot of good and honest deals on there

[wheat plume]

I thought my desk was messy

Fucking hell

[split cipher]

I love the gpu cooling solution

[ashen spindle]

That’s cables for testing phones and a testbench, that is really not messy xD

[halcyon moss]

heh, that chair sounds more useful than most of the gadgets

[ashen spindle]

ehh sure, until you use it bc I doubt it's more than some generic thing with logo slapped onto it

and still, I doubt many reviewers would actually want things cluttering up even more space lmao

[misty pier]

eyyyy they have the same monitor as me

[halcyon moss]

well besides that of course

[ashen spindle]

imagine you now do phone reviews and get 20liter boxes for every new phone arriving

[misty saffron]

if your desk isn't messy you're doing something wrong

[wheat plume]

I want a Mi 11....

[thick elk]

Oh but now some other manufacturer has to out do xiaomi until finally some reviewer gets a whole casting couch.

[wheat plume]

I love my note 10 lite :D

but in terms of CPU its a downgrade to my previous phone

but has better everything else

[halcyon moss]

cpus are pretty much fast enough these days

[wheat plume]

730G

my last phone was an 845

[halcyon moss]

835 is my current phone

idk what phone has that

wot

[halcyon moss]

pixel 2 xl

its plenty fast

the mi 11 doesnt mind getting moist, I mean after all, who doesnt?

https://youtu.be/dbMDtUp3_SM

[halcyon moss]

what is xiaomi's update track record?

[thick elk]

I still find it sad that xiaomi got rid of it's micro-sd slot.

Not a lot of options left with either 500gb storage or micro sd without being overly expensive.

[wheat plume]

My moms note 8 is on android 10 + MIUI 12 now
It went from android 9 + MIUI 11

Its not too bad and Xiaomi phones have custom rom support and it doesnt void warranty

[thick elk]

The whole voiding warranty thing is pretty misleading and bs anyway.
As legally it should only apply to defects most likely caused by the custom rom.
Such as bricking it during flashing or overclocking it till it dies. Especially if you return it to the default rom, before rma.

[wheat plume]

Yeh, if something doesnt work in software due to the rom specifically they dont support that

but unlocking and installing custom recovery is fine

[thick elk]

I also don't know how other manufacturers handle it in practice, or how store handle manufacturers wrongly refusing rma.

Regardless I would never let something like that keep me from taking ownership of my own device.

[wheat plume]

This phone charges faster wirelessly than my phone charges with the wire.... wot

50W wireless vs 30W wired

[halcyon moss]

but were at 11 niow :p
and im past the time to rely on roms

where this phone really impresses, is capturing other human beings, even small jittery ones, off their tits on Haribo

true

ECC ONLY INCREASES RELIABILITY

What wasn't mentioned is that because AMD's ECC policy isn't POR, a system could say it's running with ECC enabled but it technically isn't. I responded to Torvalds' post about this. You need error injection methods to actually detect if it's running.

[halcyon moss]

what did you think it did?

[ashen spindle]

I dont like it because it's partly wrong/potentially misleading

not because of the parts that are true lmao

[thick elk]

Ah I remember reading the thread about it with him and other linus on realworldtech.
I think it's great that AMD allows ECC, if intel moves to do the same it may actually become the standard for it to just work.

for now it's mostly unvalidated and may very well be broken on amd motherboards.

[halcyon moss]

ddr5 has it as a standard right?

[ashen spindle]

not like it matters now

ddr5 has 8bit ecc iirc

[thick elk]

Fair enough, just a shame intel held it off for so long for segmentation.

[old marlin]

unsure if this one is worse than his typical content

[ashen spindle]

sounds like I made the right choice not wasting my time on it

[old marlin]

if you see this

just stay away

tbh

[ashen spindle]

unless it's his video about cleaning mousepads, that's ok

[old marlin]

could have been much shorter though

https://www.docdroid.net/BYU9Dis/mousecleaningguide-pdf

ok

then you go push it in your washing machine

I try to not ruin the surface and coating

[true quest]

yes, let's just throw any chemical onto any piece of unspecified cloth

not as if some are susceptible to damage to certain chemicals

[old marlin]

the chemical is not even the problem usually

[true quest]

in that regard yeah

[old marlin]

at worst you might find some that kill the glue

the bigger problem is how you apply the mechanical force

[true quest]

what about industriablaster 8600

[old marlin]

calder knows why he said that you should use a washing machine bag for the wooting pads

[true quest]

you want short?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBylHzreYEY

[old marlin]

I can read that 4 page pdf in less than 10 seconds

[ashen spindle]

also doesn't hurt the world if it merely tells you "no it's fine, regular washing power doesn't destroy your pad" after all that's a valid consideration if you have no clue about it

[old marlin]

oh also

zy puts a shitton of water on it

that usually kills glue

[true quest]

i'm not going throughg the hassle of setting up a power washer

[old marlin]

at least more than it has to

[ashen spindle]

if you already know how to clean, good, doesn't mean everyone knows for certain so it's not a waste to have a video about it

[old marlin]

if the glue is just wet that is no problem

if you leave it in there for a while you just dissolve it

[true quest]

well if the glue is a solid layer, it shouldn't come off right?

vruh just tell the snow to frick off lma

o

[old marlin]

you are putting chemicals and water near it

and that is not glue that completely hardens

[true quest]

is there a mix of chemicals that won't remove it doe

[old marlin]

at least my mousepads with clot on one side and silicone/rubber on the other have been rather flexible still

[true quest]

depending on glue as well

[old marlin]

depends on the glue

easiest would be to not soak it

Terraria dev cancels Stadia port after Google disabled his email account for three weeks https://t.co/fSYWjfmDY5

[old marlin]

not just his email account btw

he lost his cloud access with it obv

[reef patrol]

Ya gotta love it. Google shuts down gamedevs Google accounts for over s month. Now he gives them the big ole middle finger.

[old marlin]

and apparently had 1000$ worth of apps?

which he has no access to now

[ivory geyser]

Poor guy, but in the grand scheme of things: Good good. The more Stadia dies the better.

[neat oriole]

The mini is pretty small

It’s too small so they’re discontinuing it

I think people like the idea of a small flagship more than they like the idea of using a small phone

Considering how much content people consume on phones these days it makes sense

They did just release a 2k viewfinder phone

I think 6.5” is near the limit of content consumption and portability

[neat oriole]

New MacBooks kinda nutty

[astral haven]

I went from 5.8 to 6.8 and tbh it's really nice

[true quest]

same except for the email, phone and text part

[astral haven]

I watch a lot of video on my phone

[thick elk]

Personally kind of miss the 5.7 of my note 3 sometimes but my current 5.5 is also fine. As for the more stretched out phones, it's really hard to compare the two and I do not care about the extra vertical screen space anyway.

[ashen spindle]

you think they just keep old versions around for years instead of just sending the newer one for warranty?

[misty saffron]

maybe they had unsold stock

[cursive summit]

Hold up Chelyabinsk is in U.S?

Oh right you live in Chelyabinsk right @misty saffron ?

Are there many Mikhalych the factory director type characters around?

[ashen spindle]

no I mean the x63 is newer, so they most likely just send that version out instead of a 5 year old model they probably dont have anymore in stock around the offices

[misty saffron]

x62 is 5 years old?

also I kinda doubt its all MSRP with how many >900$ cards I see listed as sold out

[broken pollen]

i always wipe my mouse bottom before i sleep

[hollow estuary]

does anyone know when the flaretech switches are gonna be back in stock

[ashen spindle]

probably never

why would you want a different box

you don't want multiple boxes just for a couple SKU's to save money, if anything you'd see the opposite ala Threadripper where better stuff gets more space for a marketing point

• all the same sizes makes it easier logistically to switch from making and packaging r5 and then switching and putting others in the box

yeah bc atm that SKU is not shipped at all

I mean iget the point, but a cubic box seems still a lot better to me logistically than this trash

[astral haven]

its just a regular box with a hole cut out of it?

[ashen spindle]

yeah, weird shape for a cpu container, much worse for stacking it logistically than a rzen cpu box

[astral haven]

theres no practical difference

also

thats inside the actual packaging

[ashen spindle]

surely any change like that is making it less sturdy and more prone to something falling onto that area and breaking it

[astral haven]

?

[ashen spindle]

you think taking a diagonal slice away from a box is not affecting it at all?

[astral haven]

yes

those boxes dont get stacked

those go on store shelves

[ashen spindle]

...and how do you think they get to the stores?

[astral haven]

those are inside of other boxes

you dont just stack a bunch of cpus on a pallet in their retail packaging lol

[ashen spindle]

and how do you stack the retail packaging into the shipping packages?

[astral haven]

you dont stack them

you put them inside cardboard boxes

[ashen spindle]

seems quite inefficient when you can only make a 1 layer row in the cardboard box since you cant stack them

[astral haven]

you can put multiple layers

[ashen spindle]

still sounds to me like due to the packaging you need to take extra steps for transportation compared to the ryzen boxes

[astral haven]

no?

ok so think for a second, what makes it unstable?

[broken pollen]

lmao thats kinda funny to me

[true quest]

put the retail package into a similar size cardboard box

there is your stability

[broken pollen]

what if you put an egg in the box

https://www.evga.com/articles/01467/evga-keyboard/

yall heard of this

https://www.evga.com/articles/01466/evga-mouse/

and this

they aren't analog but check out their report rates

[reef patrol]

[forest sphinx]

keeb with 4k report and mice with 8k report

both use optical switches, but are not analog

your picture did not load

you are talking about the mouse switch yeah?

yeah those are def regular switches, it mentions kailh speeds

but the other keeb uses some sort of proprietary optical

and is not hotswappable

[crisp granite]

ye

LK light strike

but without the stabs

must be a newer iteration

I'd like to try them

[forest sphinx]

Yeah man I dunno

I feel like @analog aspen in particular said he was interested in high polling rate stuff

I am curious as to if evga has optimized everything else so that the 8k and 4k actually help you respond faster

since the old blog article seems to suggest that polling rate is a small piece of a larger puzzle

[analog aspen]

Let me start by saying this: Wooting is wanting to transfer to ARM chip. So anything with ARM chip is currently superior to Wooting products, fact is fact

Now whether that’s gonna change within this year or next depends on Calder judging the tradeoff

[forest sphinx]

thats fine

[analog aspen]

Maybe HE 60% will have ARM chip in it. 8kHz polling easily

[forest sphinx]

but does that 8k polling actually MEAN 8k polling?

you know what I mean?

[analog aspen]

Current Lekker chip can do 2khz but it wasn’t worth the trade off, time and effort

[forest sphinx]

like, will the difference be felt?

[analog aspen]

So we’re stuck with 1khz

[forest sphinx]

have they figured out all the debounce and other lags

that could make it so that that extra polling is essentially worthless

I honestly might buy the mouse

[analog aspen]

This is the main problem. Technology advancing like crazy and human reflex got left in the dust

[forest sphinx]

I'm currently playing on a 6 year old Logitech G400s

and its good, it does 1k polling

and it aint broken

so maybe I should wait until it is?

[analog aspen]

Honestly I can’t even differentiate 125Hz vs 1000Hz polling in my mouse without measuring program 😄

Put a random dude up for blind test to determine whether he’s playing on 500Hz polling or 1000Hz polling and he WILL fail

[forest sphinx]

Yeah thats fair

[analog aspen]

The thing with Wooting is that they achieved 0.12ms scanout rate

[forest sphinx]

I saw it and I thought of yall immediately

[analog aspen]

So literally with 0.1ms polling they are discarding 9 scans and just take the last one

[sudden glacier]

i get more framedrops when my mouse is at 1000hz in apex legends (I'd notice)

[analog aspen]

So might as well move on to 8kHz polling, to make full use of the insane 0.12ms scanout rate they’re having

[forest sphinx]

I couldn't notice the difference in mouse polling rate until I switched to my 240 hz monitor

at that point I could tell switching

but its only noticeable if you are looking for it

if you didn't alert someone to the fact that the polling rate was changing they certainly wouldn't notice

at least for me

My eyes are not precise enough to tell otherwise

and the change has to be large

[analog aspen]

144Hz -> 240Hz is so neglect-able that even the likes of Shroud can’t differentiate and have mixed performance between the two. Linus did a video on this

[forest sphinx]

I run 120hz on my 240 because you shouldn't max the refresh rate on your monitor either

or else you can get motion clarity issues

I might promote to 144 at some point if I feel like spoiling myself

[analog aspen]

Polling rate always change from 0 (static) to max polling set (max speed)

[forest sphinx]

but i switched to a 240 from a 60

so I figured

start small, and damn, the difference is out of this world

[analog aspen]

Like 1000hz polling doesn’t mean it polls 1000 times a second when not moving

[forest sphinx]

Nah thats why I'm saying I gotta be looking for it, literally swiping my mouse accross the screen with low dpi as fast as possible

[analog aspen]

This depends on the monitor btw. Some monitor have good input latency outside of their native refresh rate. Some monitor have excellent native refresh latency but shitty say 60Hz input latency

Like really shitty

[hard thicket]

Some monitors have a headroom, some are overclocked to the limit form the factory

[forest sphinx]

Correct yeah. I looked into my monitor extensively and settled on the blur buster recommend, and then I read a buuuunch of forum posts about how to configure the monitor for the best motion clarity possible

[hard thicket]

some of my old 144hz panels can even push 180hz

with close to no frameskipping

[forest sphinx]

The consensus was essentially, you will likely get the best clarity and least input lag running at 120/144, but if you run at 144 the strobing will be less consistant

so running at 120 is good

[analog aspen]

Blur buster is losing their cause recently @forest sphinx when Chief tried 360Hz and he was like “fuck BFI I’m all for high refresh rate now. All the post I posted a year ago is irrelevant now”

That guy

[forest sphinx]

Haha

[analog aspen]

[forest sphinx]

Its fine, I love my monitor

compared to my last one its night and day

and it can still do 240

but I dunno if my cpu can keep up with that anyways

so no worries

[hard thicket]

i would run 240 just for the response time tbh

[forest sphinx]

I like smooth motion

[forest sphinx]

But i totally understand

preference is preference tho

[hard thicket]

indeed

or get yourself a LG oled with 120hz

[analog aspen]

Literally if you like smooth image buy an OLED

[forest sphinx]

motion clarity helps more with my potato aim in apex then response time ever would

[analog aspen]

Smoothest you can get

[hard thicket]

i currently have it in order next to a 8K 55inch tv

[forest sphinx]

you aren't going to get an oled panel as cheap as an ips panel with a refresh rate as high and an input lag as low

so when money becomes an issue

then I don't agree

if money is no object then yeah

perhaps

and obs the color reproduction is incredible on oled

but I want smooth input lag free experience

and running at 120 means very few frame drops with my setup

[hard thicket]

yet you run 120hz on a 240 hz panel

[analog aspen]

Smoothness and input lag are like opposite sides of a pole tho. Can’t have both

[forest sphinx]

Yeah, because I looked into it extensively and the way the strobing works on my panel, it looks really good, and is brighter, at lower refresh rates

Pushing your panel at max refresh can affect motion clarity

and also frame drops are obs much more likely

I don't want jerkiness at anypoint due to frame drop

so lower frame rate that is locked at a level I know my GPU can support is better

[analog aspen]

This

Doesn’t need to lower frame rate tho. Just frame cap that game

Refresh rate*

You only wanna lower refresh rate if you wanna use Gsync

[forest sphinx]

Pretty sure I have an auo 240hz 1080 panel

I have a viewsonic XG270

[analog aspen]

This is not as good as they “approved” it to be. Hype died pretty fast

Specially when Chief just went and say “360hz is so nice” right after

Wait is this the 360hz?

Dayum

Ye Shroud moved on to 1440p 240Hz buddy

If you want best

Cause frankly 3090 can’t push 1080p 360Hz

It can push 1440p 240Hz tho

[misty saffron]

280hz weirdchamp

where can you even get 280 fps

[analog aspen]

Ye Kuuube have one of this as well

He plays osu!

Basically 980fps

Yes it's not entirely unusual for certain things to be on USB even if it seems a bit strange
