[reef tundra]

amd is going more cores route

[misty saffron]

i would happily buy a 32 core cpu

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean

threadripper exists

[ashen spindle]

not really known if that holds true for <threadripper yet

[misty saffron]

don't want threadripper

am5 pls

[crisp granite]

MOAR CORES BLIN

[reef tundra]

poor threads

[vagrant pagoda]

everyone wants more core per socket

[reef tundra]

into the shredder with em

[crisp granite]

I can't wait to have a 32 core mini ITX pc

[ashen spindle]

SMT4 has been in the rumours but regardless of when that comes in epyc, I don't think that will trickle down to AM5

[vagrant pagoda]

we dont ahve more than 64 now because even 4 chanel ddr3 is too slow

amd isnt banking on ddr5 from increasing speeds that much

thus

still 8 core ccds

and adding 2 more ccds

to get the extra core count

[reef tundra]

GPUs can fit 1000s of cores 😏 catch up slow pokes.

[ashen spindle]

Honestly wonder if big.Little in desktop and SMT4 in servers will cause more issues by people only adding support for one and not both lol

[vagrant pagoda]

phi....

[crisp granite]

my GPU has 5888 cores

and my CPU has 6

unbalanced system

plus a bunch of tenser and RT cores

[reef tundra]

They might be very limited and like to have as much paralel instructions but still more cores than those puny cpu cores

[vagrant pagoda]

to be fair the actual core count on gpus is lower, they are basicly counting smt.

[ashen spindle]

even then, I'm not gonna do an argument what defines a core, I'll let that for others to discuss lmao

[vagrant pagoda]

lol yeah

[misty saffron]

you're welcome bro https://up.hw.gl/IboeCyytVg.png

[ashen spindle]

phew, that clears it up, thanks

[crisp granite]

that helps a lot

[reef tundra]

Pineapple

[crisp granite]

🍍

[misty saffron]

yall saying i got a part of pineapple in my computer or what

[crisp granite]

yes

and I want your pineapple cores

[vagrant pagoda]

😮

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5173

[pale sigil]

Holy shit

Wot

[vagrant pagoda]

no more driver hacks for passthough gpus

[pale sigil]

So just to be clear

One GPU to rule them all

Instead of two

[vagrant pagoda]

no

before if you passed a nvidia gpu to a guest

you had to hack the driver to get it to work

[pale sigil]

Oh so then I still don't care xD

[ashen spindle]

it's progress and that's nice

even more so that it's from nvidia directly

[vagrant pagoda]

i doubt we will get sriov on consumer gpus

Until windows or mac moves to full containerization

[ashen spindle]

we will once they find a thing good enough that they still have locked to tesla/quadro or amd does it and there is a big feedback in the workspaces that use it

[vagrant pagoda]

Having everything containerized is the only reason for consumers to "need" sriov

Also sriov support is flaky for tinkers anyway

[ashen spindle]

they did mention it in the ampere release and then walked back on it, so assuming it wasn't a genuine mistake on the presentation, maybe there is some push for it inside the company

[vagrant pagoda]

I think the big issue is shit software support

Granted I have some s7100s so it's amd

But getting sriov to work with vms isn't easy for gpus

[ashen spindle]

https://looking-glass.io/ im fairly certain last time I checked they were just waiting for the feature to get enabled here

[pale sigil]

Oh boy i tried GPU pass through twice and I never ever did it again

[ashen spindle]

sure in other usecases it might lack software support

but like, doesn't hurt if you enable it and then people make it work

[pale sigil]

I used a gtx 750 alongside my 1070ti xD

I think

Or igpu alongside GPU

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah igpu with dgpu for pass though is nice for linux gaming

Especially now that you can get very high core count cpus for not very much

[pale sigil]

Ye but Linux isn't so nice

XD

[vagrant pagoda]

Lol

It can be

[pale sigil]

Love Linux as a server

But as a desktop it makes me rip my hair out

[vagrant pagoda]

Pass though is supported in kvms gui now atleast

[ashen spindle]

yeah, even if linux would be perfect for gaming now and no issues with any game, I'd still not change to it

[pale sigil]

I was super impressed

Playing games on it yesterday

Like j was on Windows

But relying on shit like this is annoying

https://github.com/libratbag/piper

Tbh if games weren't so anti Linux j would shve switched ages ago

Destiny 2 anti chest literally insta bans you

For using anything Linux based to launch it

[ashen spindle]

it just gives me the impression that I'm using some sort of early access version, depending on which linux variant it's differently how far into the beta status but that's it

[vagrant pagoda]

Literally nothing supports my mouse other than the official software sadly

The funny thing is

Wsl is advancing so fast

[pale sigil]

What mouse

[vagrant pagoda]

You will get linux apps on windows before you get gaming on linux

[vagrant pagoda]

Swiftpoint

[pale sigil]

Ahah

That's rough

[vagrant pagoda]

At least thier software is good

[misty saffron]

isn't wsl basically a vm

[vagrant pagoda]

No

Wsl is built into the kernel

[pale sigil]

Considering wooting has had support for Linux since day 1

I would have assumed swiftpoint did

Guess not xD

[misty saffron]

wsl 2 is a vm

https://up.hw.gl/A3Ad1KQN00.png

[vagrant pagoda]

Well

Not to be mean, but wootings software is shit compares to swiftpoints

[pale sigil]

Ye but

[ashen spindle]

wooting has linux support because it's just an electron app

[pale sigil]

It exists

[ashen spindle]

not like they spent a lot of time making it themselves to work on linux

[misty saffron]

wym my python script supporting linux isn't a feature

[vagrant pagoda]

You virtualize the io hardware, but the software runs directly on the windows kernel

Tbo it's mostly an abstration layer than virtualization

[misty saffron]

well.. the second sentence tells otherwise

[pale sigil]

@vagrant pagoda is the swiftpoint software always on sort of thing

[vagrant pagoda]

nope

mouse has memory

[pale sigil]

That's good at least

[vagrant pagoda]

you only need software for game/app based profile swtiching

all of the macros and such are hardware

[pale sigil]

That's good to hear

[vagrant pagoda]

sadly the analog input isnt xinput its just joystick emulation

[pale sigil]

Oh really?

[vagrant pagoda]

the second sentence on wikipedia, the end all be all of facts.

it isnt a isolated system

and while it runs a full linux kernel, it isnt standalone

[reef tundra]

You can also use hyperv to run both windows nt and linux kernel together

[crimson wigeon]

So, WSL2?

[wheat plume]

My Roccat mouse has software for Linux :D

Its not made by Roccat but they link to it on their website

Although since the mouse stores settings onboard, I didnt have to use it for years

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/roccat-tools-konextd/

[old marlin]

got updated in 2020

but the newest product is 2016?

[reef tundra]

No, as hyperv is a hypervisor for windows. WSL makes the linux kernel run through the windows nt kernel. Not together. But it has some performance cost

[fair gull]

just a kone xtd tool

[old marlin]

the linked one is just kone xtd

the total package includes some more

[fair gull]

ya but they update to fix errors

cause its linux

[old marlin]

yeye

[fair gull]

not that i like roccat to begin with

[old marlin]

idk

they are able to make decent products

at least for mice

[reef tundra]

it does mouse related activities

[old marlin]

obv does not make every mouse of them bad

[fair gull]

only had a kbd from them once

was kinda shit

[old marlin]

would not recommend their keebs personally

or their headsets

or their mousepads atm

[fair gull]

anyone here got a g100s for sale?

[old marlin]

lol

got a ninox aurora recently

better g100s imo

[fair gull]

does it have the same shape tho

[old marlin]

also saw some cheap g100s on kleinanzeigen recently

[old marlin]

not quite

does the same things right imo

[fair gull]

does the pcb fit into a g100s?

[old marlin]

don't think so

[fair gull]

fek

[old marlin]

also not a pcb worth swapping

quite honestly

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/logitech-g100s-wie-neu-/1712014708-225-6464

also

cheap af used lol

and getting a ninox aurora is hard

[fair gull]

was thinking of buying 1 or 2 g100s mice and try modding them with the guide of the one dude

who wrote custom firmware for it

that supposedly fixes tons of issues

[old marlin]

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/logitech-g100s-gaming-set/1709401823-225-6801

lol

can you link that guide?

I might try it for the lols at some point

if I get a g100s again

[fair gull]

https://www.overclock.net/threads/teensy-mod-and-firmware-for-g100s.1588408/

[old marlin]

oh

well

ok

[fair gull]

guide mentions that cpi set too high causes instability

[old marlin]

tbh

not worth it with stock pcb

at that point I would trim the sensor out

and replace it with a 3360 donor pcb

or you know

like

make my own base

3d print it

and then make the print clean with acrylic

[zenith sonnet]

Honestly, that's something they could design into a 7nm IO die

That would actually make sense

But as chiplet? Nope

Also splitting it up between each chiplet? Neither

[reef patrol]

REEEEE's in troublesome troubleshooting

[zenith sonnet]

Also, my GPU has 60 cores iirc

[wheat plume]

I need to check if a .py file exists in the directory the script is run in
How do this in Python? I found one guide using .endsWith() but idk how to tell it to use the current cirectory without hardcoding it

[fair gull]

dont see a point in replacing the sensor if the firmware on the pcb is shit

[old marlin]

56

[old marlin]

the sensor is also shit though

[fair gull]

i only ever found it on lists claiming its a near perfect sensor

[old marlin]

maximum tracking speed is ass

[zenith sonnet]

Is there even a good mouse out there?

[fair gull]

that would also invalidate the 3360 at some point

[old marlin]

atm use a keris at home and a burst pro at work

[old marlin]

not within human possibilities

unless you fuck up the firmware

[fair gull]

also dont do anything speedy

[old marlin]

you would need to hit 10m/s

which doesn't happen unless you have:
1: a gigantic mousepad as in 1.2meters+ of mouse space
2: a REALLY fast arm
3: do a huge swipe just for maximum speed and nothing else

aka

never

even then hitting 10m/s won't happen

[fair gull]

i mean

[old marlin]

also unsure how it even fails

[fair gull]

how am i supposed to hit my g100s speed limit

[old marlin]

I think it just caps out

g100s spins out

which is terrible

[fair gull]

hasnt for me

[old marlin]

it does like 3m/s max

[fair gull]

all the years i had it

[old marlin]

I can hit that easily

[crisp granite]

jet propulsion

[fair gull]

the only problem i really had was that sometimes it feels like the res of the image proc in firmware is shit

[old marlin]

the keris is quite good imo

even though I was not able to install shitty asus software

so I might have been spared of the bad end

also

hotswap switches

[reef tundra]

Only important things for a sensor is range and repeatability

[crisp granite]

wait

[halcyon moss]

Making us do your homework again? :p

[crisp granite]

hotswap mouse switches?

[wheat plume]

Just one question

[old marlin]

yes

[crisp granite]

dude

wild

[old marlin]

I have the wired one

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-rog-keris-wireless/

[old marlin]

but basically everything of this applies

[crisp granite]

that's great for user repair

[old marlin]

except sensor and wireless performance obv

[fair gull]

tempted to take a g502 with me from work

and just try if it even feels different

[old marlin]

lol

not worth it

quite honestly

[fair gull]

would only be 30bucks

so /shrug

[old marlin]

you can get good mice for that amount of money

burst core

g203

[fair gull]

but

[old marlin]

g305 often times

[fair gull]

can i get them in 6minutes

[old marlin]

viper mini

you prob have another mouse in the shop

[fair gull]

yes

b100

and m185

[old marlin]

prob better per degault

[fair gull]

logitech

m185 is wireless shit

[old marlin]

lol

ik

[fair gull]

and b100 is business 10$ mice

actually i lie

we have a third one

i lied again

someone bought the logitech track ball mouse

[old marlin]

rip

[fair gull]

highly doubt any of these are better by default

[old marlin]

you can get a g90 from asia

which is a g100s

but with worse skates

[fair gull]

thats not delivered till 6pm MEZ

[old marlin]

rest is the same

yes

BUT

they still get made

[fair gull]

i dont have feet on my mouse anyway

havent for years

doesnt even feel different than before

[old marlin]

replacement skates are 100% worth it

ngl

[fair gull]

what would they improve

it glides easy enough

[old marlin]

smoothness

[fair gull]

its smooth enough

[crisp granite]

dude

how long have you had it to wear them down to nothing

or why have you removed them?

[fair gull]

i took them off

and then cleaned the adhesive

feels the exact same as before imo

dont recall it being worse

[old marlin]

do I have to research your adress to buy you skates?

[fair gull]

ngl

that would be wasted money

[reef tundra]

posix system call for cwd probably.

[wheat plume]

  current_dir = os.getcwd()
  for i in os.listdir(current_dir):
    if not i.endswith(".py"):

[reef tundra]

So many repeated sys calls to list the dir, rip. If it doesnt get cached.

[wheat plume]

I also have to check if another two files exists but since we know the file names of those I can just use the OS isFile() function

if os.path.isfile('config.txt'):

[reef tundra]

does it take wildcards?

[wheat plume]

not to sure...

[reef tundra]

probably not.

[wheat plume]

it takes globs that are predefined

O.o you can make tabs vertical on Edge...

[halcyon moss]

@wheat plume https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.splitext

But glob ing also does the trick

[reef tundra]

With C you could use sscanf to split the string into the file name and its extention.

[zenith sonnet]

Gigabyte is still producing beta BIOS' like they're candy

._.

[reef tundra]

"pre-release"

[zenith sonnet]

pre-release or not, they still don't have an AGESA 1.2.0.2 stable, let alone a final

They're even listing beta's on their official website not since they go so long between stables that people were confused

[pale sigil]

Christ

walked into my room

heat hit me like a heat wave

from my computer that was running rtx shaders

[zenith sonnet]

Well, what did you expect getting Ampere

Shoulda gotten an RX

Summer will be fun for you

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/chuckles-im-in-danger-ralph-wiggum-the-simpsons-gif-14149962

[crisp granite]

[pale sigil]

The GPU keeps relatively cool, if you dont use ray tracing xD

[misty pier]

my card is nice and cool during the summer

cause i have a floor vent feeding cold air into my pc intake

[zenith sonnet]

Mine is cool cause waterblock

Delta between water and core stays at 8°C under max load

[crisp granite]

my PC runs best in winter

I just crack open a window

and boom

ambient temp is 15 below zero

[misty pier]

my skin will crumble into pieces if i let it come in contact with winter air

[crisp granite]

I happen to be immune to such things

but I will actually sweat to death in temps above 15 degrees

[misty pier]

w

i start to sweat around 35-40c

depends how long im outside though

[zenith sonnet]

Because it's not getting accustomed to winter air if you don't let it

[misty pier]

so i should just walk outside wearing shorts and a t-shirt then

gotcha

[zenith sonnet]

[misty pier]

i'll look like a dried sponge

[reef tundra]

Atleast you would be cool

or even double cool

The cool kids will tremble

[crisp granite]

I mean

I've spent hours outside in sub zero

[misty pier]

-9C is where i'll draw the line though

[crisp granite]

wearing nothing but a t shirt, shorts and flip flops

[misty pier]

i'm not going out in that weather

[crisp granite]

that was like minus 20

good times

[reef tundra]

-20C can be fine if the wind is not blowing much

[misty pier]

i wore a hoodie and it chilled to my bone

[crisp granite]

it was dead

no wind

[misty pier]

i think it was slightly windy that day

i was walking about 4 blocks to a 7-eleven

[crisp granite]

7 eleven

pog

[misty pier]

i wanted some monster energy 🗿

[reef tundra]

The best time to spend 2 hours around the market and shopping around. Maybe even finally buy something more than thin jacket.

[crisp granite]

ngl

[misty pier]

late night gamer hours

[crisp granite]

monster energy was my lifeblood in high school

[reef tundra]

Caffeine does fuck all

[misty pier]

i don't drink it much so it helps me a lot

i don't drink coffee or tea much anymore

just letting my body wake itself up

[ivory geyser]

I tend to consider putting on winter jacket at that point.

[misty pier]

yeah i didn't prepare a winter jacket, all i had was a hoodie i regularly wore during the summers

[reef tundra]

I can even drink a few redbulls and go to sleep if the body feels like sleep time is yes

[misty pier]

i can sleep on demand any time of the day, i'm just always tired ig

[crisp granite]

mhm

tired but with occasional breaks

monsters are just a habit I picked up

bought one on my way to school every day

kept me feeling energized for the first few hours

[misty pier]

dude i'm just trying to resist falling asleep on my desk now

[reef tundra]

I cant. sometimes unable to fall asleep even though im 2 days without sleep and when the morning comes it decides that sleep is now allowed

[crisp granite]

it's not even 3 pm

[misty pier]

i just have 0 energy now

[crisp granite]

ok

the OG energy drink of Doge

you will need

10 shots of really good espresso, lots of crema

[misty pier]

i dont understand why people have trouble sleeping

i sleep like a baby

[crisp granite]

and 5 shots of sambuca, whatever you have on hand

mix

and enjoy

and shake violently for the next 30 hours

[misty pier]

[crisp granite]

I'm serious

I remember bringing a thermos of that with me a few days before lockdown was announced last year

[ivory geyser]

Some people have fucked up chemistry in brain that literally prevents it from shutting down properly. Other people have too many worries, anxieties and nervousness built up to sleep properly.

[crisp granite]

that was heavy cram time

[misty pier]

damn

[ivory geyser]

... and some people are just idiots for staring at their phone for 2 hours RIGHT before bed and then complaining they cant sleep

[crisp granite]

the latter usually leads to the former d00d

[misty pier]

do u people not have blue light filters

[ivory geyser]

It can

[misty pier]

helps me sleeep ez

[ivory geyser]

Nope

[crisp granite]

nope

I just crash around 3 am every night, or morning I guess

[zenith sonnet]

Cold intolerance and low energy are signs of hypothyroidism. Ever got that checked?

[ivory geyser]

If that is the case tho, then it is kinda on them and not being able to handle their own stress.

[crisp granite]

good to know it's all my damn fault

[ivory geyser]

Acceptance is the first step to recovery, no?

[misty pier]

can i inherit that from my parents

cause my mother has that

🗿

[crisp granite]

mhm

both of my parents have that

[misty pier]

runs in the family huh

[crisp granite]

I guess

[misty pier]

that explains why i feel like im always dragging my feet

[ivory geyser]

Just use alchemy and reconfigure your body, ezpz

[crisp granite]

shambling corpses, we all are

[misty pier]

zzz

i guess i'll go get my blood sucked at the doctors

[crisp granite]

the best doctors use leeches

[misty pier]

do leeches hurt

[zenith sonnet]

Yes, there's multiple causes

[ivory geyser]

No

[crisp granite]

not in my experience

[misty pier]

why can't they use that to extract blood

[crisp granite]

but feeling lightheaded and passing out if they suck enough can happen

[misty pier]

hate it when they whip out big ass needle

[ivory geyser]

Because it is unhygienic.

[crisp granite]

because then the leech does it's thing and it becomes unusable

[ivory geyser]

And the blood is useless.

Yep

[misty pier]

🗿

[reef tundra]

Could be anemia or low blood pressure related.

[misty pier]

my blood pressure is fine from my last visit

[crisp granite]

ITX FTW

waterblocks are mandatory now

[ashen spindle]

get ready to spend 1k on that

[neat oriole]

https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/30/22356352/bang-olufsen-beoplay-portal-gaming-headset-features-price

[ashen spindle]

meh, halo products dont do much for mainboards

[chrome estuary]

i like the fact that modern motherboards are coming with more USB ports.

no?

[reef tundra]

I like motherboard that come with a pcb

[crisp granite]

[crisp granite]

I like motherboards with a socket for my CPU

maybe a ram slot or two

[chrome estuary]

wait what?

[ashen spindle]

idk I dont really memeorize what they all have

[reef tundra]

I dunno, if i need more usb connectors, pcie card giving a root usb hub does the trick

[chrome estuary]

hell i own an x470 prime pro and it's got like... fuckin 10?

[crimson wigeon]

Are there motherboards that have MOAR USB instead of WIFI?

[chrome estuary]

okay uh never mind

i'm way the fuck off

ignore me

it's got 7 USB-A and one USB-C

[ashen spindle]

there are some SKUs that come with a pcie card for other things

[chrome estuary]

hell the x470 is only like 3 years old

huh the prime pro x570 comes with the same about of ports.

shrug

[old marlin]

are they good though

[neat oriole]

Probably not

[old marlin]

[ashen spindle]

we also didn't have as many lanes years ago that could be used for it without removing other things

[neat oriole]

B&O makes a good sounding headphone once every 25 years

[old marlin]

lol

when was the last time

[neat oriole]

2013?

[old marlin]

rip

[reef tundra]

If the USB ports share the same bus it dont even care about amount of connectors just how many root hubs it got.

[neat oriole]

Every iteration of the H6 is just more bass

[old marlin]

meh

if you are in the us

yea

probably

hd6xx is damn good for the price

[neat oriole]

This is how their $800 H95 measures

[old marlin]

how tf

ah

the hd8xx

yea uhhh

[neat oriole]

8XX probably sucks

[old marlin]

the regular hd800 is cheaper

the 8xx costs more cause they fiddled around with it

so wait till the first drop is over

[neat oriole]

Yeah ruined it probably

[old marlin]

and look what the difference actually is

the regular hd800 is already damn good

[neat oriole]

Let me just scoop out the mids even more to squeeze in a tiny bit of bass

[old marlin]

lol

oh also

DON'T get the HD820

sennheiser is good for open back

and basically only open back

[crisp granite]

uh

those headphones are...

way too expensive

[old marlin]

I mean

[crisp granite]

$1100

bruh

[neat oriole]

Only good sennheisers are HD560s, HD600/650/6XX/800s

[old marlin]

if you want cheaper headphones there are options

if you want one of THE BEST headphones

[crisp granite]

I know, the 6XXs look stellar

[old marlin]

then pay some more money lol

I use 6XX

[neat oriole]

Not from sennheiser no

[old marlin]

they are GOOD

[crisp granite]

but, I don't see where that extra money goes towards?

[old marlin]

I used dt770s for a day and hated them

[old marlin]

they they probably are not for you

[reef tundra]

their bank account

[old marlin]

and you can just ignore their existance

[neat oriole]

You pay more for more better sound

[old marlin]

[crisp granite]

better how?

[reef tundra]

More audiowaves

[neat oriole]

Better detail

Etc

[old marlin]

I have qc35 IIs

they are shit for windows

doubt the 700 fixed that

besides that the 700 looks like a stripper pole in a buttcrack

also

700 is a shit name

[neat oriole]

I’d say Sony’s ANC is pretty good

[old marlin]

it is alright in my in ears

[neat oriole]

Headphone still sounds kinda ass imo but hey it’s a feature headphone who cares

[old marlin]

not the best

for on the go the WF1000-XM3 are imo the best option

[neat oriole]

I have a pair of WH1000XM3 that I use for travel which I haven’t used for a year and a half because covid

[old marlin]

since they sound as good as the other wireless in ear ANC buds

are cheaper

and you can easily replace batteries

[neat oriole]

WF fit is jank tho

[old marlin]

eh

fits me well

[neat oriole]

They’re pretty large

It’s not gonna sit well in everyone’s concha

[old marlin]

thing is

apple buds

and samsung buds might have the same problems

for some persons

dunno if bose even has buds atm

iirc they discontinued their latest ones

[neat oriole]

Generally speaking those don’t have massive bodies

[old marlin]

since they were hard to remove

[old marlin]

oh yea

apple buds are

unusually shaped

and the samsung buds are not that small either

[neat oriole]

Sony is massive tho compared to the rest

[old marlin]

oh yea

not denying that

also their software sucks ass

[misty saffron]

yesterday some random girl at uni passed by and complimented my laptop

[old marlin]

wtf???

[misty saffron]

still not sure how to interpret that

[ivory geyser]

She wants that USB

[reef tundra]

Tell her thank you but im already fucking it

[ashen spindle]

she want's your root access to plant bitcoin miners

[old marlin]

what laptop do you have?

[misty saffron]

macbook

[old marlin]

[ivory geyser]

Oh god

[old marlin]

stay away

[ivory geyser]

Avoid her

[reef tundra]

basic

[neat oriole]

She wants the D://

[ashen spindle]

was she holding a starbucks coffee?

[misty saffron]

no starbucks here

luckily

[old marlin]

"oh you probably have one of THE most common laptops atm?"

[neat oriole]

Maybe she was being sarcastic

[old marlin]

lol

she was sad it wasn't a chromebook

[ivory geyser]

Probably also had "Live, laugh, love" shirt

[misty saffron]

funny you mention that

[ashen spindle]

we shouldn't be mean to his potential future wife

[misty saffron]

macbooks are super unpopular in russia

[old marlin]

good

[neat oriole]

Damn western capitalist machines

[old marlin]

I would be weirded out if some random girl comments my laptop

granted I have an alienware

[misty saffron]

you think i wasn’t?

Probably a western spy trying to fit 👀

[ivory geyser]

I dont quite get why people even get macbooks I admit

They are so ugly xD

[reef patrol]

Because everyone else has them.

[old marlin]

idk

[reef tundra]

Some buy them thinking it can fill the void of the personality

[old marlin]

I like the look myself

[misty pier]

most people at my college has a macbook

go into the lounge area, all you see are macbooks

[old marlin]

the outside in general is good if they don't completely destroy key travel again

[misty pier]

or a solo dell xps sitting in the corner

[misty saffron]

i mean, everybody else here has $300 lenovo garbage

[misty pier]

or one dude who lugged his giant ass gaming laptop

[old marlin]

their hardware is ehhhhhhh

their pricing is ???

[ivory geyser]

A fellow slav I see

[old marlin]

and the software is just not for me

[misty pier]

yeah their educational discount isn't that bad

[old marlin]

I mean

[misty pier]

free airpods though

[old marlin]

lenovo had some decent machines

[misty saffron]

for $300? doubt

[old marlin]

the more they did since taking over the business from IBM the worse they got

[ashen spindle]

biggest advantage apple had and mostly still has is having a good screen

[old marlin]

[old marlin]

and a good trackpad

imo

[misty saffron]

and a good os

fight me

[reef tundra]

like apple pays much for the airpods lmao

[neat oriole]

I wouldn’t say they’re ugly

[old marlin]

I hate ios

[misty pier]

yeah my old mbp made me spoiled for glass trackpads

[old marlin]

tbh

[misty pier]

i can't handle those plastic trackpads

[neat oriole]

Apple gets a lot of things right for their laptops

[old marlin]

I used my trackpad like 2 times

[ivory geyser]

Only reason top get IOS over Linux is if want photoshop lol...

[old marlin]

in like 1.5 years

[neat oriole]

Build quality and overall user experience for your average normie is top notch

[misty saffron]

and i’ve never used a mouse with my macbook

[old marlin]

same for the keyboard essentially

[misty pier]

i've never used a mouse for my mac

too cumbersome

[old marlin]

I just prefer mice

and cumbersome?

[neat oriole]

The trackpad on macs are really well integrated

[misty pier]

my bag is full of crap

[old marlin]

do you carry your laptop without any bag or what?

[neat oriole]

Gestures are intuitive and useful

[misty pier]

i can't lug more stuff

[reef tundra]

Like putting the display voltage next to the ground pad. so it can murder the display and cpu with less than 1 mm away

[old marlin]

mouse would be the third thing after laptop and a charger

[misty pier]

stupid ass huge books

[old marlin]

ah

rip

[misty pier]

they kill me

my back, my shoulder, my bag

[old marlin]

smart design

[reef tundra]

The book mafia takes first your kneecaps. liar

[neat oriole]

I’ve never used a windows laptop with a better trackpad than a MacBook

[old marlin]

yea trust you with that

[misty saffron]

trackpad is literally the most important thing on a laptop

[misty pier]

think some new laptops got some glass trackpads now

[old marlin]

but like

[misty saffron]

every windows laptop’s trackpad i’ve used was a miserable experience

[old marlin]

my laptop would be good without a trackpad and keyboard

get me an asus mothership

[misty pier]

so just bring a screen

[old marlin]

but like

good

[misty pier]

get a tablet

[old marlin]

oh yea

[misty pier]

tablet pc

[old marlin]

a tablet with a 2080 and a 9700k

[reef tundra]

Also Apple likes to blame the customers for any and all damage even if they admit to it 5 years later.

[neat oriole]

Enthusiast like myself will shit on MacBooks all day but for an average user the main points of interaction are really well designed (minus butterfly switches )

[misty saffron]

ipad + magic keyboard with trackpad is a great combo too

[misty pier]

👌

[old marlin]

don't like locking myself in an ecosystem

[ivory geyser]

Apple keyboards 🤢

[old marlin]

because I can only use the OEM accessories essentially

[ivory geyser]

I mean, it is better than membranes, but uuugh

[old marlin]

or high specified aftermarket shit

is it though

[neat oriole]

Yeah but that’s you right, most people just fucking watch some YouTube and check some emails like who cares

[misty pier]

load bearing pack?

[old marlin]

a good membrane absolutely destroys an apple keyboard for me

[misty saffron]

heard y’all like apple tech

[reef tundra]

I like being able to repair damage without selling my left kidney

[old marlin]

ew

[misty pier]

how is your screen that dirty

bruh

[neat oriole]

Bruh

[old marlin]

not even a touchscreen

[misty saffron]

why would i clean it

[old marlin]

cause apple doesn't have those

[neat oriole]

Yeah he’s Russian

[misty saffron]

it’s an ipad lol

[misty pier]

just wipe it on your shirt

ez

[old marlin]

wait

do you have a macbook

AND an ipad with keyboard

??

[misty saffron]

yea

[neat oriole]

#🔌│tech message

[misty saffron]

i also have a homepod, y’all proud?

[old marlin]

[neat oriole]

Didn’t Apple just discontinue the home pod

[misty saffron]

who cares

it’s a good speaker

[old marlin]

so how is your nearly 10 year old voice assistant that never got updated

and barely beats bixby

quite an expensive speaker

[misty saffron]

read two messages above

[ivory geyser]

Wait, people actually use voice asistants?

[old marlin]

[neat oriole]

I’m pretty deep in the system but I’ve never touched siri

[misty pier]

siri is weird

[old marlin]

idk what you get a homepod for

[misty pier]

i dont like voice assistants

[old marlin]

if not siri

[misty saffron]

brother

sound

[ivory geyser]

First thing I did with my phone was disable any voice assistants

[misty saffron]

and sure, the ability to yell “hey siri fuck off” to stop music

[neat oriole]

D:

[reef tundra]

The only reason for voice assistance is to yell to everyone that you are going to watch porn and should not enter the room

[misty pier]

[neat oriole]

I have an iPhone, an iPad, and a MacBook, used to have an iPod too

[ivory geyser]

Only reason to get Apple's Siri is that the name is pronounces the same as Ciri from the Wither - and Ciri is awesome.

[neat oriole]

I was raised on iMacs

[misty saffron]

you better not try me with ipods pal

[misty pier]

same

[ivory geyser]

How tf do you people have so much money lol

[misty pier]

ipod 4th gen gang

[misty saffron]

a job

[ivory geyser]

Eww

[neat oriole]

Whadaya mean my MacBook is 8 years old almost

[misty pier]

same

[neat oriole]

Still has a better trackpad than any windows laptop I’ve used

[misty saffron]

deciding to do programming was the best choice i’ve made at 12yo

[neat oriole]

The computer labs in my elementary school had early iMacs

Those colourful ones

[misty saffron]

OH i forgot to show you guys my apple router

[misty pier]

[old marlin]

g3s

[misty saffron]

because you love apple tech so much

[misty pier]

apple router??

[old marlin]

apple route

[misty pier]

no thanks

[old marlin]

absolute downgrade

[misty saffron]

proud owner

[reef tundra]

🤮

[neat oriole]

Oh I remember those

[misty pier]

aesthetically boring

[old marlin]

hey

[neat oriole]

Weren’t those also supposed to be some sort of backup hard drives?

[misty saffron]

yep

[old marlin]

the intern learned how to extrude and chamfer on that one

[misty saffron]

they come with and without hard drives

the hard drive is so noisy in those though

spins up at random times as well

[old marlin]

[neat oriole]

This is what my computer labs ran

[misty saffron]

i want one of those

[old marlin]

yea g3s

[neat oriole]

I was inducted into the cult at a young age

[misty pier]

OOOO

MY KINDERGARTEN CLASS HAD THOSE

[misty saffron]

you wanna feel old huh

nokia n8 was released 11 years ago

fuck i can’t find mine

:(

[old marlin]

you wanna feel old?

skyrim gets 10 this year

[misty pier]

[reef tundra]

you wanna feel old?
wait

did it work?

[proud nacelle]

would anyone know why digits, bolded/italic text refuse to appear on Linux? very generic question, but it's worth asking in case there's a bug I'm not aware of

[ashen spindle]

idk just know someone else on discord has the issue that anthing inside code areas is unreadable bc its fucked up too

test

wait not like that

[proud nacelle]

I'd test to tell if it was breaking my shit but I'm not using Linux atm

Since of said issue

[ashen spindle]

idk how to actually do it

[proud nacelle]

like this?

[ashen spindle]

no

[proud nacelle]

"code areas"

int main(){
return 0
}

fk

[ashen spindle]

slight background like this

idk what that is

[crimson wigeon]

Only do the single tick

[ashen spindle]

ah

[proud nacelle]

test

jesus that grey is very hard to see

[crimson wigeon]

If you have a crappy monitor sure

[ashen spindle]

yea that caused text inside of that area to be super squished for him on linux

[proud nacelle]

On my end I don't even see the text. I can still copy it and paste it into a terminal (which shows up fine).

[crimson wigeon]

Have you tried unmangling your text rendering?

[proud nacelle]

Not sure how I can

I've done nothing different AFAIK

And it was working fine until I did a fresh install.

The only thing that would have changed is the package versions. That's why I'm asking

At least 6 months difference

[crimson wigeon]

2 this 3 all 10 shows up fine 5783 for me 🤔

[proud nacelle]

So it's something on my end or a bug

ugh

[crimson wigeon]

Yes it's on your end, either your fonts are broken or your freetype fontconfig is

[proud nacelle]

Don't think it's the font itself. Displays fine in rxvt-unicode/urxvt

Fontconfig is the likely culprit

Or some other shit

holy fuck

can barely see that

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah that one is real close

[proud nacelle]

I suppose no one knows how to debug fonts on an older version of firefox (56)

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah I wouldn't know I use 89 it just works for me ecks dee

[proud nacelle]

you do you

[crimson wigeon]

Any reason for staying with such an ancient version?

[proud nacelle]

Old addons

And no rust requirement

[crimson wigeon]

Oh yeah I've heard bootstrapping Rust is a nightmare, wonder how Gentoo handles it

[proud nacelle]

It's god awful

Not to mention good luck getting that to build on musl of all things.

[wheat plume]

hmm

[proud nacelle]

Also if have to ask why I'm using musl: size. libc is ridiculously huge.

[crisp granite]

uh

don't partners already do that

my bad, they one up it and stroke your hair while you sleep

[proud nacelle]

And the issue being security and bugs with it. Done with it.

[crimson wigeon]

As is all things made with the modern meme languages like Rust because static linking is awesome 😐

[proud nacelle]

You can always go to palememe or some other non-rust browser.

That is if you're willing to sacrifice stuff.

[crimson wigeon]

Does it support Wayland? If not no interest

[proud nacelle]

Ah you're on wayland

[crimson wigeon]

I'm beyond done dealing with X

[proud nacelle]

I'm pretty sure there's some non-firefox and chrome browsers which run on wayland.

Also understandable. But wayland isn't good for me.

The freak show that is /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And libinput/udev

[wheat plume]

that embargo lift xd

[reef tundra]

Getting a lot of dislikes is great for the algoritm ironically. High engagement

[proud nacelle]

dislikes are a stupid idea anyway

they promote censorship in a way

[reef tundra]

and you could hide it already whenever the creator wanted.

[true quest]

now there is a chance it's not optional

[proud nacelle]

hell at that point just fucking remove them

it's dumb

[true quest]

that's what they are doing

[proud nacelle]

no they're just hiding the numbber

[true quest]

in a way

[proud nacelle]

at that point get rid of the button entirely

[wheat plume]

using the hood of your Tesla as a whiteboard.....

[reef tundra]

It allows people to show they dont agree (with video, creator content, etc) or being a petty loser. Gives some idea how the video is being received.

[proud nacelle]

Yeah about that...

Go on reddit and say something which isn't agreed by the hivemind

You get downvoted to oblivion and you're hidden.

[true quest]

well, as panda mention, apparently, it works the other way in yt

[reef tundra]

Twitter doesnt have a dislike button and it just turned to ratio of rt and comments.

[proud nacelle]

right

which is better than having a system that hides stuff

[reef tundra]

It is even a marketing strategy to anger the masses :) Rockstar had done this i believe

[proud nacelle]

fucking what

"marketing strategy"

[wheat plume]

TIL, a Tesla car takes 30-40 seconds to load the youtube "app"

[shadow minnow]

Why is i9 11900 125€ cheaper than 11900k, and still overpriced for its performance too?

[vagrant pagoda]

kek

[shadow minnow]

Just why. In productivity it is no comment, in games, it can sometimes lead by 1-2 FPS, sometimes lose by lot more and sometimes is on par, with higher price tag. Only thing it is better at not just by margin of error are 1/0.1% lows, but idk who is gonna buy the cpu because of that

Like, I really wanted to buy i9 11900k, but the performance and everything... if it was not for pcie gen 4 I would just start considering i9 10900k, also considering going amd

Well, GPUs are something else

When it’s hard to buy 2060 for msrp, 3090 over msrp is not that bad

[reef tundra]

Why bother with even having a manual transmission with 3-phase induction motor?

[shadow minnow]

I really want to make my life simpler and not have to chose new mobo and stuff, but intel is failing to give me enough reason to not do so, and go for i9 11900k I previously planned

[reef tundra]

does it have such a weak motor?

[shadow minnow]

Like, it is not like I would be losing anything considering gaming performance going with i9 11900k, it’s just overpriced, could get the same for lot cheaper, and also when it comes to productivity, If I ever needed multi core stuff....

That’s one of the main issues I have too

I also wish I had a computer. Was planning few years to build one in early 2021, decided to wait for ampere and rocket lake. I really hope 3080 ti releases, or if not, I hope ima at least get 3080

Also thing that kinda sucks is that I could not find i9 11900 k benchmarks in 4K, if it’s even worse there, then ima really have to find some good amd mobo

Ask him when finally 3080 ti

Forgot to check der8auers review, but could not find 4K testing anywhere

[zenith sonnet]

TPU has it as well, lol
It fails to compete while using more power

[reef tundra]

Pretty much feels like they said at the end fuck it just overclock it

[pale sigil]

Bought a rasberry pi

like 2 months ago

cant find it anywhere

damn pesty micro computers

[reef tundra]

Maybe it is a jam pi now?

[pale sigil]

found it

i wonder if i can use the box as a case

just cut out the ports

[reef tundra]

Also I remember that the ssh is diabled my default on a fresh install of raspian

[silk oyster]

wooting or razor huntsman analog v2?

[pale sigil]

ye ik

i already have that sorted

it has everything up and running

😄

[zenith sonnet]

Just wait for Zen 4

[shadow minnow]

Just wait more and throw away some parts

Without having pc while waiting too

[pale sigil]

New I9 is a meme

[crisp granite]

whatever you want

[reef tundra]

Might be a little biased but I would recommend the Wooting, great community and easier to contact. Razers seem to also fail quickly after their warrenty runs out. Which might be for their complex and a lot of moving parts.

[shadow minnow]

The last one too

[zenith sonnet]

Get a 5950X

Probably a better idea to buy DDR4 than DDR5 anyway

[ivory geyser]

Wooting has better hardware, better support, better software, better modability and better copmmunity... and costs 50$ less.

Not much of a competition

But it isnt green I guess

[reef tundra]

Also Wooting has dedicated itself to analog switches. So the software will try to make most of it benefit

[pale sigil]

Dis gonna be fun

[shadow minnow]

That’s actually just too expensive. And also having to chose amd mobo

[pale sigil]

choosing an amd mobo aint hard

[reef tundra]

Wait Razers analog switches only have settable actuation point of only 1.5 to 3.6mm?

[shadow minnow]

Like, most of the high end CPUs atm have very close to same performance in most games, especially at 4K, so going. 5950x imo makes not a lot of sense for me. Now I am deciding between like 5800x or 5900x, or staying with plan and going 11900k. Want to see 4K benchmarks first, but intel really disappointing

[shadow minnow]

Because they are optical

[pale sigil]

ye razer caught up to wootings state from years ago

xD

[shadow minnow]

Wooting opticals also had, but razer one gen behind

Sorry for my messages starting to being really confusing I am quite tired

[reef tundra]

Is that the maximum range you can fit in the package with an optical setup without just making the package larger?

[shadow minnow]

It is not maximum range but it’s hard to do full analog range with optical switches. And razer is not worth buying anyway

[reef tundra]

The HE will beat it in terms of onboard profiles as well, it only has 5

[shadow minnow]

But HE also has like ton more other features

[reef tundra]

like rapid trigger

also the tacyon mode for maximum input throughput.

[shadow minnow]

And all the stuff you can do in DKS

[reef tundra]

it might be similair but sounds more like 2 event instead of 4

[zenith sonnet]

Choosing an AMD mobo is easy.
Get a 5800X then. Same perf as 11900K and 230€ cheaper

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, and also dks has afaik more features

[shadow minnow]

Well, the thing is i5 11600k has kinda same performance too. Idk, will have to decide later I guess

[reef tundra]

I think it forces RGB to a static color and prioritises processing pressed buttons over non-essential features.

Also makes it easier when people ask how to make it faster and you just tell them to enable that. and let the software handle the settings

But the base scanrate of the wooting is already lower than most others if im not mistaken

[zenith sonnet]

You wanted 4K?
https://tpucdn.com/review/intel-core-i5-11600k/images/relative-performance-games-38410-2160.png

Like, it doesn't even matter what you get, lol

If you lower the resolution, Zen 3 pulls ahead

"Looking at our power consumption results we have a total energy of 18.9 kiloJoules to complete one Cinebench run for the 11600K, against 9.6 kJ for the Ryzen 5 5600X—almost half! AMD's Ryzen 9 5950X is even only a third of that, with 6.4 kJ."

Wow

Three times higher power consumption than a 5950X

It might, however, prompt AMD to release a 5600 to stay price competitive?

https://tpucdn.com/review/intel-core-i5-11600k/images/power-multithread.png

This image says just about everything you need to know

Maybe in the US, where power is cheap
But you also need to spend more on cooling, have more heat in your room, etc

I do care

That defeats the purpose

You spend more on that than the power you save

[pale sigil]

Quick question for you guys

If j plug a modem into a switch and the router into the switch along with other decides

Devices

The devices will communicate with the modem firdt rifjt

First right

I know it will but being sure

Ye j assumed

I have a major flaw in what I'm doing rn

I somehow overlooked

Lmao

Don't have a long ethernet to connect to the router for my switch only from the modem to my router

😂

[zenith sonnet]

What's that even supposed to mean?

[pale sigil]

I moved the man router out of my room

[zenith sonnet]

Eh, I wanna see ARM compete in performance first, then we can look at power
