[halcyon moss]

Heh sunday delivery is becoming a thing in nl

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah it won't be sold at that price

[reef tundra]

But does it run solitaire. As its not a fps game

The offbrand dont question origin one might have it as msrb, the rest dont need to follow

Also retailers can ignore them if they think it would still sell

Also weird to think that the manufacturer undervalues the estimated market value instead of being way off from actual market rate in the end

Nvidia still alive or ghosting somewhere like their dlls .dll .dlld .ifbutalotofthem apparently?

[crimson wigeon]

There'll be AMD built reference models?

[reef tundra]

Not sure what the graphs mean for games where performance stayed the same. Are they so subobtimal or that optimal programmed? probably being cpu bound?

[crimson wigeon]

What you see there is a comparison to the competitor

[reef tundra]

multiple games show significant change other non significant. blame magnets

so much vram though. thats like half my cpu has for system memory Thats it im making a 32gb swap partition to not deadlock when it runs out. Rimworld mods can suck a lot of it apparently

wait. why did i make the swap on the harddrive and not my nvme ssd... might affect performance eh..

effort

[crimson wigeon]

Because you don't want to burn those precious write cycles

[reef tundra]

Yes, i totally tought that out.. and and planned it

[dry tendon]

I dont like the 3060. Its very small progress. This is like the 3060 - small progress

So Idont like 6600 XT either

[crimson wigeon]

Pretty much

[reef tundra]

Also finally added my hdd to my fstab so i can actually use them without mounting them first. So many dupllicate files and archives in archives. put them all nicely in a new archive and begin anew, infinite compression think about it. or a mess that should be organised. i dont like files they are hard to not clutter

atleast i have redundancy, a lot of it

wait i can let the cpu do the duplicate file handling thing. hopefully also able to handle images and other media. 🤔

[old marlin]

this printer ain't even 2 years old

and already at over 100000 pages

[reef tundra]

its like 4k pages a month

I am lucky to get fat lines on the page

[halcyon moss]

thick cpu

[old marlin]

yea makes sense in this case

to increase the size of hotspots of the chiplet designs

[reef tundra]

more surface area is good

[old marlin]

I mean

it doesn't provide more surface area

but it should spread it out better over the surface area

[reef tundra]

Hmm, would it be relevant for constant high loads or would it average out to be unnotice in those workloads?

[old marlin]

not an expert on thermodynamics

prob both though

well

depending on your cooler at least

[reef tundra]

Big metal block pretending to be your passive cooling

[old marlin]

it isn't there to act as a thermal sponge

inb4 vapor chamber IHS

[reef tundra]

So mini airco

[dry tendon]

I dislike that it is LGA

but otherwise good that it has a bracket

[fair gull]

looks normal to me

we have a printer with finisher and all

its like 8months old

140k pages printed

[old marlin]

Lol

[wheat plume]

The Outlook apps doesnt divide email by time period like the website does....

its just one long ass list instead

why not?!

[fair gull]

u configured it to not divide it

u cab literally setup almost all if the ui

[proper crystal]

It is a render. Don't put much stock into this.

[hard thicket]

since Die stacking becomes more and more relevant, pretty sure thats the reason they took that approach

[ashen spindle]

^

[hard thicket]

hopefully it's a similar mechanism as the TR socket

because that one is really neat and userfriendly

[astral haven]

Lol

[ashen spindle]

idk havent used any higher end socket yet but any form of improvement there is welcome

[hard thicket]

agreed

AM4 is just awfull

[ashen spindle]

still a year before release so doubt we'll see final version before computex

[astral haven]

Not true, the thinner The better
Copper is just an awful conductor compared to a heatpipe or flowing water

If there was a vapor chamber inside the ihs that would be very cool

[hard thicket]

direct die cooling would be lovely

maximum cooling effieciency

like on gpu's

[fickle ore]

What's wrong with copper?

[astral haven]

Problem is there's zero room for errors

[hard thicket]

the reason direct die will never happen for consumer stuff

[astral haven]

Copper is very very slow to transmit heat compared to heatpipes

[astral haven]

Integrated watercooling

[hard thicket]

that's the goal

[hard thicket]

https://hexus.net/tech/news/monitors/148148-auo-lg-preparing-480hz-refresh-display-panels/

uhm

at this point it's becoming marketing

[ashen spindle]

nah

I'd imagine we get to a point in whatever years where it's normal to have a 1000hz screen at any price point

[hard thicket]

yeah i meant more in terms of, actually benefits

[timid chasm]

infinity panels

[ashen spindle]

I mean, sure the benefits diminish, they don't reach 0 though

[hard thicket]

the step from 240 to 360 is already barely noticable

[ashen spindle]

and tech can't advance/get cheaper without it being new and expensive at first

yeah rule of thumb is you need 1.5x increase in refresh rate to really notice it

so 360 to 480 wont make much sense for you to upgrade to

but we ain't getting to 1000hz being normal and cheap without some silly steps inbetween

[hard thicket]

they should rather focus on high resolution high refreshrate panels, for those wanting the beauty of both worlds

[ashen spindle]

same thing for that though, easier to first increase resolution, then increase refresh rate instead of both at once

[hard thicket]

according to the article 4K 240hz are in development

[ashen spindle]

ye

[timid chasm]

So that would keep us set for a while for GPUs to catch up

[ashen spindle]

not really

[hard thicket]

with DLSS

[ashen spindle]

gpu are ramping up hard

[hard thicket]

that future is quite near

[ashen spindle]

Q4 2022 release will be insane

[hard thicket]

we are hitting 150 200 range already

at 4k

[timid chasm]

please

[hard thicket]

on demanding titles

[ashen spindle]

poor bandwidth starved connections

[timid chasm]

what actually does 4k 150-200 and looks decent without some ultra performance dlss bs

[hard thicket]

who said that things like DLSS won't improve over time ?

it's basically the future

[dry tendon]

DLSS itself no. But advanced upscaling techniques - alas they are a part of the future

[ashen spindle]

dlss itself yes, they might rename it but they won't throw away the data they got and try something completely else, since temporal solutions are needed

[dry tendon]

We need a neutral version of it that works for Intel and AMD too. Also we need it to not die when the Windshield of the Metro Exodus car is in view XD

[ashen spindle]

well yeah we might end up with something from intel that nvidia will make commits too or will get stuff reverse engineered or w/e

or dlss becomes open sou...

[astral haven]

Microsoft ml shiz should do ok

Microsoft has the money to brute force the ml problem too

[wheat plume]

idk why this makes me nervous

water + electronics

Apple: Sponsored by Satan

[astral haven]

low profile sockets on all ics
Expansion connector
Firmware in proms
Oh boy how apple has changed

[wheat plume]

IKR

TBF, a lot of Apple fans dont care as long as their device is really really thin

They care more about thin-ness than power and expandability

[crisp granite]

smh

you don't need thin

you need full travel mechanical switches

[wheat plume]

:P I type faster on my laptop chiclet keyboard than on my Wooting

[astral haven]

Framework laptop is proof that apple just doesn't care

If a startup can make a product more repairable for cheaper at the same height, then it's just apple doesn't want it to be repairable...

Like it's .2mm taller...
Not 2mm
.2mm
And it has twice as many ports, including the option for USB a, full size displayport, and hdmi

Like now there's no excuse
Oh also the soc has direct active cooling, and power delivery capable of significantly more power than the m1

[wheat plume]

Yep

[crisp granite]

as do I

I just find it wildly uncomfortable

full travel or bust

[astral haven]

Me too
Mostly because my wooting is currently in a factory but shh

[wheat plume]

aha

[pale sigil]

Me too because I don't use a wooting anymore xD

[crisp granite]

lucky bastard

mine doesn't exist yet

batch 2 blues

[crisp granite]

CRIMINAL SCUM, BACKSTABBING BASTARD

[astral haven]

Batch 1 bois

Also
Blues?

Oh
Not like the switch the feeling

[crisp granite]

yeee

waiting sucks

[astral haven]

I've gotten used to it

[crisp granite]

using the shittiest keyboard I've ever had the displeasure of using while waiting makes it nearly unbearable

[astral haven]

🤤

[pale sigil]

RE not using wooting

[crisp granite]

60%, ANSI, really shitty clickies that aren't tactile, noisy as fuck and get caught mid travel leading to...chattering, on an optoelectric switch

the only way it could get worse is if it stops working...wait

that would be good

an excuse to buy another keyboard

[wheat plume]

Apple, making a manual that shows exctly how their OS works

Wozzmon, LOL best OS name

[wheat plume]

Its a depressing world when a security cam's main feature is that it DOESNT need a monthly subscription fee

[empty wren]

could use old phones

[ashen spindle]

or just most regular securit cams that still dont need that

[pale sigil]

Using an old phone for a security cam is silly

[ashen spindle]

or rather, almost none bar amazon and googles offerings work that way

[pale sigil]

It's only cloud ones that rely on fees

Make your own cloud

[ashen spindle]

or use no cloud

plenty of ways to make it work

[pale sigil]

I meant more of that was the appeal

For getting sub based ones

[ashen spindle]

ye but we're not at a point yet where it's so rare that you need to advertise it as a special point that it isn't cloud based subscription to work

[wheat plume]

Noice

[timid chasm]

disgusting

[pale sigil]

Can i show off my 2tb ssd and 1tb nvme :3

[timid chasm]

69/420 or bust

[wheat plume]

I have a 1TB NVME and a 2TB Sata SSD I havent installed yet

(this is not showing my Linux SSD, cause Windows dont do that)

[ashen spindle]

lolol imagine not using 2tb nvme

smh

[wheat plume]

Imagine being able to afford one

smh

[wheat plume]

I dont have a spare NVME slot ;-;

I would have gotten one otherwise

[ashen spindle]

yes you do

it's called pcie adapter card

[wheat plume]

Dont they slow it down a lot?

[ashen spindle]

[wheat plume]

?

[ashen spindle]

why would that be the case

[pale sigil]

Ditto

[ashen spindle]

200 for 2tb nvme seems pretty affordable

[wheat plume]

Yeah, my sata one was almost was almost that much

[pale sigil]

£220-250

OK

Sure affordable lol

Oh there's one for £180

[ashen spindle]

I mean it's more or less the same $/GB as a 1tb drive

[pale sigil]

Wd blue

Ye but I want 2tb not 1tb

[wheat plume]

I may rebuild my PC at the start of next semester and reinstall my OS's
I want to plug the front case fan into a port it can be controlled with anyway cause it runs at 85% speed at all times currently

And install the 2TB SSD for more space

[halcyon moss]

use disk manager

[astral haven]

You don't want windows to see your Linux disk

[wheat plume]

I know it shows it there but it just says unknown for all the data values besides the size

[halcyon moss]

windows sees the disk, and the partition, but it ignored it because it cant read it

[halcyon moss]

well you wanted to show the sizes...

[wheat plume]

Yeah I know

[timid chasm]

Never show your size until it's in the bag

[misty saffron]

what's in the bag

[crisp granite]

:)

you'll find out soon enough

[reef patrol]

Pleb not trying hard enough 😄

[crisp granite]

...

I've ordered a 2tb SSD because I've filled up both of my 1TB ssds to the effective maximum of 70% capacity

and you struggle to...fill up half a terrabyte?

how?

...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

most games nowadays are huge

[wheat plume]

Until October of last year, I lived off of 256GB storage only for like 5 years

Now I have 1TB almost filled xd

[crisp granite]

my fallout new vegas files are larger than my cyberpunk files

maybe

just maybe

I've been hitting the mods too hard lately

[dry tendon]

Intel 660p is cheap

or it WAS cheap

665p and 670P are well priced too (compared to the rest of the hardware space)

and before you ask - they are MORE than good enough for the average user

yes a power user should look for something MLC or at least highest end TLC drives

but for games / general users, these QLC drives with SLC and RAM caches (they have both) are JUST as good

[astral haven]

A drive with a 20% afr is not ok for the average user
In fact the average user will want a drive that is more durable than the average enthusiast

[wheat plume]

I have the 1tb version

[dry tendon]

I have had this 2TB version for years and I do not really try to be good to it.
It is still 98% healthy

[astral haven]

Yea they don't smart fail they just up and die in OEM systems

[dry tendon]

despite taking hundreds of mods, multiple rage uninstalls of WoT, GTA V, RDR2, Metro Exodus, basically terabytes of games

That seems to be bad luck the way you describe it

or faulty units

I mean... it happens. I had 2 defective Ryzen 3600 CPUs

and I mean defective from the factory

no joke

[astral haven]

Bad luck among 5k drives over 2 years?

[dry tendon]

5K out of how many is the question tbh

5K by itself isnt enough info

Though I do indeed wonder what caused them to fail, if true. Likely not the cells. Software failure?

Yeah. WOrld of Bullshit

[astral haven]

I'm talking about an enterprise deployment here
When 5% of 20k new systems have SSD failures, and every single one of them is a 660p failing when only 1/4 of the systems had 660ps...

[dry tendon]

I will need a source on that Carmon. That is extremely suspicious. I am not saying it hasnt happened but Ive made dozens of systems with the 1TB or 2TB 660p. Nowadays I use the 665P though or the WD Blue (if cheaper)

[astral haven]

It was only around a thousand failures but that's still an insane amount
And it wasn't a single bad batch

[dry tendon]

and never ever seen an issue

[astral haven]

🤷‍♂️ you booting from it?

[dry tendon]

yes

[astral haven]

And you up to date on windows?

[dry tendon]

unless its a high-end system I use those SSDs yes. All my friends and many of the clients

Yes

obviously ;d

[astral haven]

🤷‍♂️ still compare the sample sizes

[dry tendon]

I cant. I dont know anything about your expeirence. I have reviews and my own XP here ;d

[astral haven]

All of the drives that you've encountered wouldn't change the statistics by 1 percentage point...

[dry tendon]

though for what its worth, I have phased out the 660p and am using the newer 665P or 670p instead

those are tougher and faster

[dry tendon]

Well you told me 5% failure? That is obscene tbh. id have seen that for sure

[astral haven]

5% out of 20k
5k of them were 660ps
All of them that failed were 660ps

[dry tendon]

So what percent of the 660ps failed?

[astral haven]

20%

And that was in one year...

There were plenty of hynix and Samsung drives that had no problems...

And they were all identical systems just with different ssds from the OEM

[dry tendon]

Yeah id have seen that over the years for sure. IDK what to say, sounds weird to me.

I dont know why it might have happened

😦

[astral haven]

I don't either
What's even stranger is the guy said the hynix ssds were using the same controller
So it wasn't failing controllers...

I mean it could have been but that seems unlikely considering that year zero of the hynix died

To be fair that's only including ssds, they had significantly more hdds die than 660ps but that's expected

Other details,
The drives were full drive encrypted, and imaged twice generally over their lifespan
But same was true for the other ssds

[reef tundra]

Anything could suddenly fail catastrophically

Usually there is a threshold though where it either would have failed already or wont do that likely for the next decades.

[astral haven]

Bunch of deployed sn520s been perfectly fine tho...

And it wasn't the OEM version of the 660p it seems (the 6000 series variant) it was the straight 660p

[dry tendon]

Its a very popular game

[dry tendon]

it still is. over 2 million concurrent players (not all the time though) in total

so its more popular than CS GO for example

I cannot know that info. I suspect its mostly old accounts though since high tiers have more players

[young pecan]

I just purchased a 3060Ti for the farm and when I went to go pick it up it was a 3070.

I’m just gonna not complain about being given a 3070.

[crisp granite]

very pog

that's probably not much in the way of hash rate iirc

but in terms of actual...value for what geforce GPUs are actually meant for (gaming), yes

very good

[young pecan]

62.5MH/s.

Good rate.

[reef tundra]

Would warn you in case you sell the thing, to make sure they have no legal claims to the goods anymore.

[young pecan]

shrugs I won’t sell it.

Be a stupid move anyway since it’s not an LHR model.

[wheat plume]

TIL there is a mechanical Switch controller

https://youtu.be/vengvQ7BSWM?t=117

[old marlin]

uhhhh

why

seems like a terrible idea

[thick elk]

Using mouse switches I could understand but low profile keyboard ones, nope

[old marlin]

they didn't even use low profile switches

those are a weird mid profile

[thick elk]

Oh sorry meant lower profile

[old marlin]

yea

well

choc for example would be lower profile

[thick elk]

you really don't want a lot of travel on a controller

[old marlin]

but they just took ones with like 3mm of travel

idk why

btw

"arcade" switches

[thick elk]

Cool so the shoulder buttons of my handhelds use arcade switches

[old marlin]

[wheat plume]

Apparently the D-pad thumbstick comes off real easily :/

[old marlin]

I mean yea

not fixed in the middle or something

btw

you can't swap the switches

[thick elk]

of course

[old marlin]

like

you can

but you would have to get ones that use the same height etc

[thick elk]

desolder, open up, been there done that but I get what you mean.

[old marlin]

no like

mx switches don't fit

they use smaller ones

[wheat plume]

it's cheapness shows in some aspects dpad flies off mid game

[thick elk]

ah, still replacing springs should be possible providing you have the right springs, of course the selection of switches is pretty limited

[old marlin]

yea you just need to custom order some springs

and then still only get whatever kailh made in that formfactor

[thick elk]

I am pretty sure if you look hard enough you can find other springs in the same form-factor.

[old marlin]

yea maybe

[wheat plume]

Nintendo: "Ah yes, Let us use TCP for online multiplayer, to ensure no packets get lost. That will totally give our players the best experience!"

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

find me a single online game that doesn't use tcp or some custom variant of it...

[wheat plume]

?

[ashen spindle]

you made it sound like using tcp is a terrible choice for online games

[wheat plume]

Why would games use TCP?! It doesnt matter that much if some packets get lost

[ashen spindle]

yeah, doesn't matter if the host never gets the info that a client left for example...

there ain't a single game only running on udp xD

[wheat plume]

if you walking along a path in a map and a packlet gets lost, the game can assuem you still want to walk the same direction

it doesnt need to pause the whole game and request that packet once again

Which is what TCP would do

[thick elk]

that is implementation, not pure tcp vs udp

[ashen spindle]

you use what fits for the situation

[halcyon moss]

you can use both!

[old marlin]

games from the 2000s

[wheat plume]

Yeh, but using TCP for the data transfer in an application that needs to happen in as close to real time as possible is a bad idea

[ashen spindle]

can't think of a online game that wouldn't use both

[old marlin]

where you could run into problems with desyncs

[thick elk]

you just use whatever suits the specific data you want to transmit.

[ashen spindle]

but you just said they use tcp, if you meant they use tcp for movement updates you gotta be more specific..

[wheat plume]

RN, on Switch's Multiplayer... the entire game freezes if a packet gets lost so it can spend that time to request that packet to be sent again

Thats a pretty crappy experience

[old marlin]

that just is bad netcode

and people having shit wifi

[wheat plume]

my wifi works fine on my games on computer

other than shitty ping

usually above 60ms

[old marlin]

but what about the other person

[wheat plume]

usually i only see 2-4 people max in a server with higher ping than me

[ashen spindle]

you said " use TCP for online multiplayer" as if that was abnormal, if they use it a a wrong place that results in bad netcode, but if you don't want to use tcp at all, your game is going to be really bad lmao

[wheat plume]

ok ok, yes, using TCP for movement data is a bad idea

you happy now?

[old marlin]

no

desyncs

just implement better netcode

which doesn't rely on having EVERY packet transferred immediatley

[ashen spindle]

the same way you can use udp and update checks to cover for lost packages, you can do in a similar way with tcp...

but you can make both variants in a bad way

[old marlin]

ideally you still want every package transferred

but with the switch people get super shitty connections

[wheat plume]

Doesnt help that the Switch has a crappy wifi card

its like 5 feet from my phone and only has one bar of signal strength

[old marlin]

doesn't matter

even if it has the worlds greatest wifi cards

still reliant on peoples mone connections

their APs

their houses in general

what other people on their connection are doing

[wheat plume]

🤔 well then

This is in the official nginx docs

[thick elk]

That does sound like a stupid thing to do

[wheat plume]

Yes

Yes indeed

Also, do not forget your / after the path name!

location /api/

Otherwise you can travel up to the parent directory!

[thick elk]

Thing is if you follow basically any tutorial they will either hammer on that point, or you are using a framework that makes sure you do.

[halcyon moss]

nginx is nice, but very footshootable

[wheat plume]

footshootable

I like that term :')

[misty saffron]

foot
i like that :')

[zenith sonnet]

Factorio uses UDP only.

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

yeah the LN2 tank is empty

[wheat plume]

LOL

[thick elk]

Dammit should have gone for liquid helium instead

[crisp granite]

that's the fucking point

it's stuff like this that makes me really question as to why we're survived this long as a species

[wheat plume]

^^ right?

[timid chasm]

obvs the issue is that the fans are pointing the wrong way

all intake

[crisp granite]

seriously, a PC is full of heat generating components...and the fans blow hot air out because...heat bad for system

[timid chasm]

I don't think you need to explain it to anybody here lol

[crisp granite]

yes

but also...

bruh

[timid chasm]

literally the reason Mansen posted it I imagine

[crisp granite]

yeah

[reef tundra]

Jiggle jiggle goes the air molecule

[crisp granite]

cut that sucker in half

😉

(I'm well aware that's not really dangerous at all)

works better with...heavier particles

[reef tundra]

heh, pc is making a spooky sound. Giving it a good old tactical slap seems to silence it. Probably some fan is bend and rubbing somewhere. Atleast it listens to my advanced technical ability.

[crisp granite]

XD

literally did that the other day because rear exhaust fan was doing just that

one open-handed spank fixed it

[wheat plume]

Mmm yes, spank that computer real well

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/computer-says-no-angolkak-littlebrit-gif-12232298

[solemn compass]

i have a question, maybe someone here knows an answer for it. i just installed a AIO water cooler into my pc. (Corsair H100i RGB Pro XT) but the temperature it shows me in iCUE concern me a bit. Not sure if these in my eyes quite high temps are normal with my CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 3800X)

CPU idle: 47-57 (it slowly descends to 47 and shoots back to 57 out of nowhere constantly)
CPU load: 76 (through Cinebench)
The coolant temps are quite decent tho (idle 29.6, load around 30)

Btw I'm using 2 front fans for intake and the radiator + fans as outtake, this is not the best but I have an inverted case and I think this was the best solution.

are these temps too hot?

[reef tundra]

Its silicone 🤷 it tends to give little shit about heat. Unlike those pesky carbon based lifeforms

[solemn compass]

hahaha that's true but do you know if these temps are normal with this cpu. I have read that the ryzen cpu's output more heat. it also seems to strange to me that the temperature keeps fluctating with 10 degrees

[old marlin]

silicon

not silicone

one is a shiny rock

the other is used as a sealant for bathrooms

[solemn compass]

lol

[reef tundra]

mine runs fine at 70-80c max or something at full tilt. currently around 66c at 28% average use. 3 cores are doing most of the work lmao

As long as it doesnt need to thermal throttle to keep cool anything will do

[solemn compass]

true true, but if it doesnt run optimal with my new setup then it could be a problem with the pump or something

[timid chasm]

76C is what my 5800x maxes at with a 240 aio. Idle is ~42

Although I may have changed some pbo settings to reduce max temps. Can't remember 100%

Looks like my EDC hits its limit at max load so yeah probably did

[wheat plume]

You can have 16GB RAM but we suggest 64GB

72 cores

[reef patrol]

To... compile?

[wheat plume]

From source

yes

[reef patrol]

Jesus christ. What are they compiling. The entire universe xD

[wheat plume]

ikr

They dont even give instructions on how to do this on mac or windows

just right into the Linux steps

[ashen spindle]

well that makes sense

or maybe not

who knows

[wheat plume]

Yesn't

[ashen spindle]

we don;t know what this is 😛

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah that's Chromium in a nutshell, intentionally made to be not compilable by mere mortals

[wheat plume]

This is Android from source xd

Not Chromium

[crimson wigeon]

Android too has bloated that much?!

I was building it in like an hour in a VM some years ago

[ashen spindle]

I mean it doesn't really mean much

72 cores of shit cpu still takes forever even if the build is tiny

[wheat plume]

100GB of source code?

wait what?

[ashen spindle]

as always, if you just live post bits and pieces of something you watch or read, we have no clue what you are on about

[wheat plume]

When you pull down from the repo's master branch, it is about 100GB of stuff to download apparently

(the Android one)

[empty wren]

It is all of it

[crimson wigeon]

So you do a shallow clone..
unless the build system can't handle that for some stupid reason

[wheat plume]

This is what you end up with

[reef tundra]

Thats why you dont compile from the raw source.

[empty wren]

Technically you can grab a custom firmwares source code which should be smaller and use the x device source tree

That is building support for your own device though

[reef tundra]

pre-compiling should alleviate most issues.

[empty wren]

Speaking of that A/AB firmwares exist and I think google offers a vanila one

DSU also exists but probably would need a firmware to work in a fifferent way

[reef tundra]

A lot of the work is keeping track of variables, scopes, and figuring out what it is allowed and what it means. Human syntax is not great for computers to parse

[misty saffron]

just 4.5 times faster than a 6 core?

wtf kinda shit cpus is that

[wheat plume]

hmm

idk

[ashen spindle]

if it's a 5600x vs older gen epyc it could make sense

[empty wren]

Some people used the old threadripper for compiling

[misty saffron]

12 times (ideal) vs 4.5 times?

doesn't make much sense to me

[reef tundra]

It doesnt scale well. Especially when you get to the linking part.

[ashen spindle]

5ghz 6 cores vs 3ghz epyc chips? 72 cores also means it's at least dual cpu which isn't perfect scaling

idk, just too little information to make use of

[wheat plume]

I have never seen Dave so happy in my life :O <3

https://youtu.be/JKx9P1F8pww

HAH YES Xd

[wheat plume]

Hmm....
100mb/s on a phone screen recording
Why... Xd

I tried it......

It didn't make the phone lag
But the video was pretty laggy when I was watching it back

[reef tundra]

Huh, the hell is it even supposed to refer to. Compression, resolution, framerate, audio, amount of change between frames, etc. Want to compress as much as you can get away with.

[empty wren]

Shoulda called it bitrate

[wheat plume]

I tried 1mb/s
It looks like shit xd

[empty wren]

Yeah 8 is pretty good for discord

[wheat plume]

Can't do 60fps though....
Maybe cause of my CPU in this phone

[empty wren]

Bruh

[reef tundra]

Does it just hint how much the compressor can work with? Is it even taking the compression in mind or raw data?

[wheat plume]

I think my previous phone could do 60fps since that had a Snapdragon 845

[empty wren]

Oh what does this one have?

[wheat plume]

Iirc 730G

[empty wren]

Here 🐼

[empty wren]

Hmm a pretty good processor though I guess I get why it says 30 then

Technically you can always use a different one

[wheat plume]

I forgot how short the nav bar is on stock Android

The one in MIUI is so long xd

[empty wren]

Yeah it ass in my opinion longer is better visually

[wheat plume]

Ass

[empty wren]

It looks terrible

[wheat plume]

I don't mind it

It does make things look kind of top heavy though

[empty wren]

Yeah, better no bar honestly

If done correctly

[wheat plume]

I like having the bar there

Mostly cause it raises the keyboard a little

[empty wren]

Ah hmm

[wheat plume]

I can turn it off if I want

[empty wren]

No bar

[empty wren]

Ah nice wish that was in stock android

[wheat plume]

I still see the bar

[empty wren]

<_<

[wheat plume]

Also why your keyboard transparent?

[wheat plume]

Oh wait that's the photos UI

[empty wren]

Because it was a screenshot

Inside of a lens scan

Inside of Google photos

Inside the UI

Inside of the ufs storage

[wheat plume]

Oof

Ok

[empty wren]

Technically I could raise the keyboard up

Chose to have it closer to my fingers at the bottom

[wheat plume]

Ooo ..
Your Gboard uses the new material design
Hmm....
That's neat

[empty wren]

Yeah wish the keyboard spacebar was less bubbly though

[wheat plume]

Idk if I like the combined , and emote button though

[empty wren]

Oh I just do not want a small spacebar ASSthetics

[wheat plume]

At least your spacebar is centered

[empty wren]

Yeah if I remove the emoji key

[wheat plume]

Oh

[wheat plume]

Your screen is 16:9?

[empty wren]

18:9

[wheat plume]

Wot

[empty wren]

But I hid the notch

[wheat plume]

Oh

[reef tundra]

9:18*

[wheat plume]

I would hide the notch also but the rounded corners it adds aren't the same radius as the physical rounded corners on the bottom of the screen

[wheat plume]

That mismatch annoys me

[empty wren]

Yeah that is strange even if people lose screen

Some people just want some good aesthetic

[wheat plume]

Idk if it shows it well on the screenshot

[ashen spindle]

petition to have phone talk as a isolated thread in tech talk so I won't see it

[empty wren]

🤣🤣

[wheat plume]

Oh yeah... Threads exist

[empty wren]

If your screen on the bottom is about the radius of the top edge frame fair enough

[wheat plume]

It is when not hiding the notch

The fake round corners it adds are less radius than the real corners

[empty wren]

Hmm that makes sense honestly that sounds normal

Since most phones even if they do not cover the bottom bezel fully or close to that round the radii so much I want to vomit

[reef tundra]

#include "pthread.h"
#error "you like threading huh, pretty tiring stuff"

[wheat plume]

They removed the option to also move the status bar.... It's gone since updating to 12.5

[empty wren]

Move the status bar?

[wheat plume]

To be under the notch

[reef tundra]

New feature, removal of a feature

[wheat plume]

Xd

[empty wren]

They were brave

[reef tundra]

Just drill for it

They are hiding it

[wheat plume]

They didn't mention the removal in the change log

[solemn compass]

Ah okay thx, do your temps fluctuate too? Mine goes up and down 10 degrees on idle, that looks quite strange. Say it is 54, slowly moves to 44 and jumps back to 54 in an instant

[empty wren]

Wow love how the changelog does not say developer did not add any patch notes

[reef tundra]

Or any bugs being fixed

[empty wren]

You mean squashed

One cannot fix bugs

They are not a pocketwatch

[reef tundra]

Depends if it refers to specific bugs or general idea of bugs

[empty wren]

Living bug in the phone screen

[reef patrol]

FML Just had to spend half an hour blocking Insider updates to 11.

[reef tundra]

Thermo-nuclear warhead wont disappoint. Next problem is no phone but the bug is gone as well

[reef patrol]

Windows literally won't let me leave the program. Until I reduce the diagnostics to Basic. xD

[crimson wigeon]

If you go to the dev channel you're forever locked in (now is the exception where you can drop down to the beta channel from it though)

[ashen spindle]

Why are you on Insider if you don’t want updates

[reef patrol]

I'm not! xD

I jumped on the Insider to try out 11. It started giving me BSOD on login. So I rolled back to 10. And left the program.

Then I notice before shutting down an hour ago that it's trying to force 11 back onto the PC, even though I told it not to.

But yeah... a ton of command line fixes didn't work. But... reducing my diagnostics to Basic instead of Full did.

[crimson wigeon]

Imagine sending full diagnostics anyway

[reef tundra]

Windows updater doesnt take no as answer

[reef patrol]

I swear it's worse than the Duo Lingo bird 😄

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah tell MS about absolutely everything!

I wonder if that's why they remove good features.. telemetry says no one uses said feature because everyone who uses it also disabled telemetry ecks dee

[empty wren]

Technically they probably already know if they want to people used their operating systems since even children in some cases

[timid chasm]

I have not noticed jumps like that at idle with my aio honestly. You're sure nothing is randomly using cpu like steam updating games or something?

[chrome estuary]

my headphones have finally landed in the US. They're in Connecticut

[young pecan]

Which were these?

Sennheisers? Focal? Idk.

I remember some convo about that.

[chrome estuary]

Verum

[young pecan]

Ah.

[chrome estuary]

They were stuck on the last update in Ukraine for like a week

since the 25th

[young pecan]

They the Verum 1 headphones?

[chrome estuary]

yeah

[young pecan]

Haven't heard a heap about em aside from sketchy QA.

They decent?

[chrome estuary]

I've heard they're great headphones, competitors to the Audeze LCD2. But the dude who makes them is a bit of an ass.

[young pecan]

Aye, seen that as well.

[chrome estuary]

I don't really care personally. He can heil hitler or whatever all he likes as long as he makes a good product. These people are all aghast and acting like he's the fuckin anti-christ or something but they then go and buy shit from Amazon.

[young pecan]

[neat oriole]

Lol verum one is far away from the LCD2

The guy threatened to send anthrax to a reviewer because they didn’t like it

And then said “oh no that was an intern on my personal account who said that” when people were like “the fuck?”

It’s your money but he’s a one man show and I’d rather not support that kind of person.

[young pecan]

Lmfao wot?

@neat oriole Source on that?

[neat oriole]

https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/hsmffo/drama_garuspik_creator_of_verum_one_talks_about/

[young pecan]

BRUH, IMAGINE.

Dude, omg.

This guy has such a sketchy rep.

[neat oriole]

He’s a typical product of Ukraine’s homogeneous society so he’s racist and homophobic but like anthrax threat bruh

[young pecan]

You can only blame interns so many times.

We're on intern blame #4 atm.

Wtf?

Lmao fuck this dude.

I'd rather just go through ATA and buy an Audeze LCD pair.

[neat oriole]

His headphones are pretty bad too

[young pecan]

Apparently they're alright, but have some severely bad QA problems.

[neat oriole]

From trusted ears, they’re bad

Zeos loves them

But he loves anything you give him as long as it’s not related to any target curve

[young pecan]

That's a yikes moment there.

[neat oriole]

If you tell Zeos something was tuned to harman even when it isn’t he’ll hate it

The guy is a master at building hype and farming affiliate links

[young pecan]

The fuck? Why?

Harman curve is great.

[astral haven]

this is the opposite of true

guy shilled harman so hard on many of his videos

[neat oriole]

Is that why he disliked the K371 because it was made to match the 2019 harman target curve

[young pecan]

Souuurce.

I must have it.

Tasty af [citation needed], put it on pizza.

[astral haven]

he disliked the k371 because it was so much more expensive than the k361 for not much more...

[neat oriole]

I CBA to scroll through a 20 minute video but somewhere in it he’s like “but should these exist”

And you can tell through his videos over the time that his personal view is nothing is bad and anyone can like anything

[astral haven]

thats correct tho

[neat oriole]

I agree anyone can like anything but there are definitely good and bad

You can like bad things

People like the room

[astral haven]

bad is an opinion

and its also relative

[neat oriole]

No in audio there’s objectivity

[young pecan]

Bad is an opinion.
Neo nazi heavy breathing noises

[neat oriole]

It’s not all subjective

[young pecan]

Bad is defo objective once it hits critical mass.

Kinda sorta.

[astral haven]

yes
accuracy is objective
however
good vs bad can be independent from objectivity

[neat oriole]

Like if something is grainy it’s just grainy and grainy is generally considered bad

[astral haven]

i think records sound great
they are objectively bad at reproducing sound tho but 🤷‍♂️

[young pecan]

sad 1930s radio noises

[astral haven]

and there are people who like grainy

[neat oriole]

Well yeah vinyls are worse, but it’s ok if you like them

[astral haven]

imo they are better than mp3

so uh

[young pecan]

Then there are the people that like Nightcore Beethoven.

No.

[astral haven]

lmao

i really like youtube 2x speed edm lol

[neat oriole]

What you’re hearing isn’t mp3 vs vinyl it’s likely different masters

[young pecan]

2x EDM?

https://tenor.com/view/game-time-tf2-spy-noose-backflip-gif-16390102

[astral haven]

mostly because its the bgm on all the streams i watch

[neat oriole]

They tend to press higher quality maters into vinyl because it costs more

The same master, digital vs analog. Digital wins every single time

[young pecan]

Vinyl sounds nicer and is also infinitely better by definition.

Say in digital you have 192KB, that by definition is 192,000 bytes per second.

[neat oriole]

That’s not how it works

[young pecan]

Vinyl is technically whatever distance you have down to whatever scale the head can read.

[neat oriole]

To reach CD levels of dynamic range you would need a perfect vinyl made from diamond

[astral haven]

vinyl technically has a gigantic amount more data encoded in the record
its just useless because of the dynamic range limitation

thats a funny idea

read vinyl with a cd laser lol

[young pecan]

If your head can read down into the atomic range you'll frankly put any digital to utter shame if you can press something accurately enough.

[astral haven]

also that shouldnt be expensive tbh

lasers are really really cheap

[young pecan]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, god no.

Not the kind you want for that.

Those lasers are stoopid expensive.

[astral haven]

nah there was a paper 2 years ago about using consumer grade lasers to make nanoscale measurements

[young pecan]

Stupid BS with producing high accuracy lenses.

[astral haven]

nah no lenses needed

[young pecan]

Srs?

Pog.

[astral haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUdro-6u2Zg

[young pecan]

Actually pog.

[reef tundra]

Vinyls suck, they wear out and for me lossless digital audio can reproduce the audio much more accurate than vinyl ever could by having to deal with physical phenomena such as thermal expantion/contraction. No ability to put parity checks or other data integrity checks to know if the data is also transmitted correctly. Analog signals could use differencial signals to make it more resiliant but in the end the receiver just has to hope it was done good enough

[astral haven]

reproduce yes

[young pecan]

It comes down to experiences and taste.

Vinyls sound VERY warm and intimate.

[astral haven]

but its not about objectivity all the time

[young pecan]

If you enjoy warm music you'll love vinyls.

If you don't you'll hate it.

[reef tundra]

You can compare the data the master record has stored on it, and what you ended up at the speakers to see how it changed over the process

[neat oriole]

I mean people love the sound of a dirty vinyl, doesn’t mean it’s objectively better

[astral haven]

again not the point

good vs bad is not objective

[young pecan]

In which case you have an idiot point since you're doing a conversion anyway and losing data.

[astral haven]

good vs bad is an opinion and is thus subjective

[neat oriole]

Of course good vs bad is objective

[astral haven]

what

[neat oriole]

Enjoyable is subjective

[astral haven]

uuuuuuh

[young pecan]

We judge good versus bad on subjective experiences. It's objective only to a majority by which we make social standards.

But it's not objective.

[astral haven]

good is by definition subjective

[young pecan]

As you have a subjective view on what good means to you personally. Ergo good cannot be objective, yes.

Boom. Nailed the addition.

The only time something is objective is when it's a universal truth.

This chair is not a cat. Objective by definition.

Gravity exists, this is a universal constant. Very objective.

[astral haven]

well
bad example

gravity is literally relative due to relativity

[young pecan]

rolls eyes If you want me to start on fundamental physics I can, but just treat it as objective for the sake of conversation.

[astral haven]

yup since its measurable and repeatable

[young pecan]

Objective as in a law of the universe that we can observe and detect (unless we look at quantum mechanics in which case different fundamental forces take over at that scale).

[astral haven]

objective as part of classical mechanics yes

the accuracy of an audio signal as relative to the master is objective
the quality of an audio signal as experienced as good or bad is not objective since its neither measurable or repeatable
its experiential

not experimental

[reef tundra]

You can turn it objective by measuring some data, making clear definations and thresholds, and using measurements and agreed upon limits/thresholds you can make objective claims under that system

[astral haven]

but then thats not the experienced quality of the signal
thats a measurement of the accuracy of the signal

if your opinion is that the quality of the signal depends on the accuracy measurements thats your opinion

but thats still
your opinion

[young pecan]

Which thereby makes it subjective.

[solemn compass]

I do have a lot of apps open at idle, that is true. But steam wasnt updating no. I will see if i have nothing open it will fix it.

[timid chasm]

I don't know if you saw but if you're worried about temps you can usually adjust your PBO settings in your BIOS to reduce temps a little. You can adjust them slightly for minimal lose in performance to get it a little cooler.

I'd also check your pump settings if your aio has them or if you use any monitoring software that supports it. I just happened to remember that my pump was fluctuating speed when I first got it so I set it to just run 100%.

[solemn compass]

ah yea okay. i will have a look at that, my cpu runs constantly at ~4,2 GHz, that's a bit high i think for doing not really much

[shadow minnow]

Smh windows. I install an app, windows places it in a random place on desktop, and it also ignores order of all the other files, and actually completely changes the arrangement. Why…

Oh, it changed arrangement once more, even worse this time…

[chrome estuary]

Ayy it's in New Jersey. Hopefully it's here early next week.

[shadow minnow]

Why?

[reef tundra]

Cant crash then, or get your data stolen.

[shadow minnow]

Tbh for me it’s more convinient, at least on macOS. Also since I would have had full desktop, instead there are “app groups” based on what type of file/app it is. Not that I didn’t use spotlight most of the time. Had worse experience with searching app on windows though. Not sure, will find out as soon as replacement mobo and cpu finally get here

That sucks. Tbh for me it’s just thing of convenience. Sure, most of files should be elsewhere, but rather have less of wallpaper visible and shortcuts for most of apps than having to go to files and find the apps there. If at least windows search worked well.

[halcyon moss]

desktop is a scratchpad for me

anything on the desktop would be safe to delete at any time

[wheat plume]

Cat do blep <3

[shadow minnow]

Hope windows 11 will bring some improvements to that. Also not sure what do I think of UI elements like time and wifi on bottom. Pretty sure though that I am not a fan of windows still having 1999 like exe installers, square shaped stuff and close buttons.
And also, is there any way to have more “screens” where you have different apps, something you can switch between with f3 on macOS.

[wheat plume]

Assuming your computer can run it

^

not on 11

cant even change to small taskbar icons

No

Other than "It looks better"

[shadow minnow]

Don’t think it would look good on top tbh considering the design.

[wheat plume]

Maybe

[ashen spindle]

well for one they said insider builds dont yet have all features so that might just come later

and reasons for upgrade would be for example if you want to use android applications directly, or once you have one of the never cpu's with hybrid design

[shadow minnow]

Tbh as a mac user till when replacements arrive, the UI on windows just seems to be worse In so many ways to me.

[wheat plume]

Nah, MacOS is a lot smoother and consistent

That is why Windows 11 is copying it :P

for the new Action Center and system tray applet

[shadow minnow]

Is not a big part of the new windows 11 UI also browser based?

[wheat plume]

Apparently yes

its uses Edge

[shadow minnow]

Also tbh not a fan of the security. Since I sometimes play modded stuff, and windows just saying that app wants to make changes in pc every time I open it does not make me feel that safe. Why does it not just ask for exact permissions it needs, for me to allow or not to allow each one, like on macOS.

[wheat plume]

Or like Android

[crimson wigeon]

Because developers rejected UWP which has that kind of control

And Microsoft unlike Apple doesn't dare to boss developers around and force them to use the new stuff

[wheat plume]

Yeah

[shadow minnow]

Even not forcing them, if Microsoft at least told you what exactly wants the app to do would be nice.

[wheat plume]

backwards compatibility and all that

(despite the sheer amount of eWaste that will occur due to Windows 11)

[halcyon moss]

win 10 still runs fine

[ashen spindle]

ewaste?

[wheat plume]

Yes

People made to believe they need a brand new computer when the app tells them it cant run 11

it told me that my computer is incompatible
The one I got in October .-.

[shadow minnow]

I mean, apart from 32 bit apps, but at least before there did not use to be issues with backwards compatibility even with that app permission stuff.

[wheat plume]

Once I enabled TPM it said I can run it

Most people dont know how to enable TPM, not to mention , what TPM is

[ashen spindle]

we went over this, TPM is on in almost every pre built and if you are not using a pre built and look at win11 without knowing what TPM is you are in the EXTREME vast minority

that is not going to cause anything

[shadow minnow]

Microsoft be very inteligent.
Also do they not want you to switch to windows? Literally could not create bootable windows 10 usb from macOS

[wheat plume]

Yes, its on them but not always enabled by default

[crimson wigeon]

That's just a you problem if you can't figure out how to work an .ISO file

[wheat plume]

No, Cant use Ethcher to make WIndows boot USBs

[shadow minnow]

^

[wheat plume]

Only RUFUS and the Windows Media Creation Tool worked for me

[crimson wigeon]

lol etcher

[shadow minnow]

Windows bootable drives need something specific, can’t use any normal program like etcher

[wheat plume]

does RUFUS have a Mac version?

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah that's how it's done, you really don't need any fancy crap

[wheat plume]

wot?

It does more than just copy them though?

[ashen spindle]

yea MCT also downloads what you don't have

wow

[wheat plume]

I dont really use Etcher anymore

I use the built in disk utility

[shadow minnow]

Did not work for me.

[wheat plume]

You can create botable drives with Disks

[ashen spindle]

I guess it also formats it and sets it to the right format, but what else did you think it does

[shadow minnow]

Wish macOS could run on custom PCs, and I could just install boot camp for when I need to use windows apps, otherwise not use windows.

[halcyon moss]

meh, i dont miss it :p
osx pushes me into a style which i do not like. (also wtf happened with maximizing in osx??)

[reef tundra]

Good old dd

[wheat plume]

ah yes

Disk Destroyer :P

I just found a distro that just slaps Calamares Installer and Plasma desktop into an Arch Linux ISO and calls it a day

.-.

[reef tundra]

So just arch linux with plasma installed

[halcyon moss]

when re you installing it?

[wheat plume]

Oh hey, it uses Xanmod kernel! That justifies it being its own distro! (sarcasm btw)

[crimson wigeon]

Isn't that all Arch distros though

[shadow minnow]

What with it?

[halcyon moss]

it goes fullscreen these days?

and it used to max in height orsometing

[wheat plume]

It goes fullscreen and moves into its own virtual desktop

[shadow minnow]

What exactly goes full screen?

[wheat plume]

the app you maximise

[shadow minnow]

Oh, makes sense.

[halcyon moss]

no it doesnt

for me

[wheat plume]

it doesnt what?go fullscreen or go into its own desktop?

xd

[halcyon moss]

make sense

[wheat plume]

IIRC, it maximises when you double click the titlebar
and it will fullscreen when you use the maximise button

[halcyon moss]

yes i do, but i dont want it to go fullscreen

[wheat plume]

Try this @halcyon moss

[ashen spindle]

maximising is not the same as full screen but on mac it sometimes is is the point

[halcyon moss]

WAT and ppl call macosx userfriendly :p

[wheat plume]

lel

Did that work?

[shadow minnow]

Strange, does for me

[halcyon moss]

yes it does! omg

[wheat plume]

aha

[reef tundra]

I just use super+f to force an window to go fullscreen and back.

[wheat plume]

And I dont even use MacOS :')

[halcyon moss]

well made my wife happy with this knowedge

[wheat plume]

:D

How TF is a 43 inch 10-80P TV only $140 in America?!

wow

This video is from 2019 if that makes a difference

[timid chasm]

Probably because 1080p isn't a target here for many

4k hit and became affordable so people moved on

[ashen spindle]

or because we once again have 0 context 🙄 is it one model, is it 5 dozen versions etc.

[wheat plume]

wtf is a 5 dozen version?

[ashen spindle]

..

[ashen spindle]

60

a dozen is 12

[wheat plume]

Yes

but what you mean by this?

is it 5 dozen versions etc.

[ashen spindle]

is it one for 140$ or are there like 60 versions at that price..

[wheat plume]

idek wha btand it isd

im watching a video from 2019

[halcyon moss]

hdr at that pricepoint? O_o

[timid chasm]

we need a trigger that just screams CONTEXT whenever a certain someone speaks

[ashen spindle]

yup..

[wheat plume]

This video is the only context I can provide

They went to best buy for a tV and found a 43 ich 1080 TV for 140 dollars

https://youtu.be/-e5sTKSx5c0

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/peepo-juice-spin-pepojuicespin-juice-spin-peepo-spin-gif-19719206

[wheat plume]

Insignia?

I cant make that out fully

[timid chasm]

yeah that's a cheap breand

like TLC and some others I forget

[wheat plume]

aha

[halcyon moss]

its probably not terrible

[timid chasm]

element is another I think

[reef tundra]

Pretty much their margins is whatever the ads and user data are

[wheat plume]

user data?

[timid chasm]

I mean they're typically not on the same level as samsung or LG but it's a $140 TV so

[wheat plume]

from a TV?

[ashen spindle]

then just wait until after the video if they mention it or say it's second hand/a returned version instead of asking us when we have even less context

[timid chasm]

unless you're real picky about something specific they're typically fine

[wheat plume]

Unless the store has a second hand version on the shelf, then its brand new

[halcyon moss]

my 42" fhd from years ago is still fine

[wheat plume]

my 32 inch 768P TV with crackling speakers is still fine

[timid chasm]

we have very diff definitions of fine then

[ashen spindle]

my god I'm listing just random points because I'm not going to watch the video but just wanted to show some points that could happen if you just wait for more info

[halcyon moss]

ooh, that would not be fine my my book

[wheat plume]

I saw them buy the TV
i saw them unbox the TV

[shadow minnow]

My prototype monitor is also still fine

[wheat plume]

IDK what else you want xcd

[timid chasm]

not crackling speakers

[wheat plume]

If you mute the volume, the speakers buzz and crackle

[shadow minnow]

Oof

Sounds bad

[timid chasm]

oh so not while playing audio

lol mute is broke wtf

[wheat plume]

Unlkess its loud, they dont make tht buzzing noise

[timid chasm]

what about 0 volume?

[wheat plume]

same as muted

[halcyon moss]

oof bought it on 12-06-2014
and its actually 40 inch

€477. nice

[reef tundra]

Get a pair of scisors as a single use mute

[wheat plume]

LOL

Watching a video made before covid is scaring me

I have the urge to be like NOO WEAR MASKL PLZ

STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE

Happened to me sometimes, but usually does not tbh, since I was outside so little during corona that I don’t have head completely full of people wearing masks. And since many people here unfortunately ignored it.

[wheat plume]

o.

[reef tundra]

Full face mask with all the filtering markings on them. hehe

Would need an breathing assistance system. Those filters are tough to breath through. But it will keep you safe from most chemicals you can be exposed to

[shadow minnow]

Not that hard to breath through imo tbh.

[wheat plume]

The new Switch™️ Pro
Now with a 43 inch screen for maximum gaming

[halcyon moss]

hmm.. thats a tad big

42" would be better

[wheat plume]

yeah

That extra inch sure makes a difference to ease of use

[timid chasm]

That's what she said

[wheat plume]

Yes

That is correct

Trouble-shat :')

IM DYING xd

[timid chasm]

I mean, what do you do? Trouble shit?

[wheat plume]

After taco bell

yes

[wheat plume]

This is the worst quality HDMI cable I have ever seen

[wheat plume]

🤔 oh

This is the worst quality HDMI cable I have ever held in my hands*

Fixed it

[reef tundra]

Seems fine

[halcyon moss]

is this yours? or from a youtube vid?

[wheat plume]

mine

idk where I got it from, found it in my storage box still in the plastic bag

imma take it to the hotel next week to use my Switch on the hotel room's TV

[halcyon moss]

does it work?

[wheat plume]

id hope so

xd

My friend is bringing his Dock anyway

so yeah

But I am bringing mine for my room

[reef tundra]

Would be wise to test the thing beforehand

[halcyon moss]

yes, just to see if it works at all

[wheat plume]

yeah... I should

where TF is the power plug for the extra monitor

AGHH

[halcyon moss]

use your normal monitor? :p

[wheat plume]

is already connected with HDMI

and the port is under it

so its so awkward trying to get the port located without being able to see it

[halcyon moss]

disconnect it :p

[wheat plume]

nah, too much effort

I plugged into into the TV

it works

I just cant stand to look at it cause its 768P and the aspect ratio is wrong

so the top and bottom edges get cut off

and no.... The TV doesnt let me change the aspect ratio over HDMI

I had the same issues on my Xbox but luckily on that, some games let you change the screen edges

and the Wii

[empty wren]

Is the tv very old, as I have a hard time believing there is no stretch screen mode or similar?

[wheat plume]

There is

but not over HDMI

It only works over SCART of all things

Which the Sky box we had until a few months ago was running on

[reef tundra]

Pretty common for 2000s

[wheat plume]

its a Sony Bravia

idk the model

[empty wren]

Ah so it is old then

[wheat plume]

Yes

probably 14 years old

[empty wren]

Wow

[reef tundra]

Some composite/vga monstrosity the French invented

[wheat plume]

SCART

its got so muhc fucking pins
my gosh

[halcyon moss]

Scart is great.

But obsolete.

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah it's great much better than the compositesvideocomponent mess people in some other countries might have had to deal with

[halcyon moss]

Sounds like my first time

[misty saffron]

bruh

[old marlin]

disgusting setup

not even the colors

just the perihperals themselves

can't remember when I last used SCART

[young pecan]

That... is entirely putrid.

[pale sigil]

Hdmi by far the best invention to video cables

Sure usb c is cool

[crimson wigeon]

HDMI is basically SCART, but digital ecks dee

[young pecan]

sad DisplayPort noises

[pale sigil]

Display port is nice
