kinda funny

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

apaprently two ladies on the stream decided to flash the camera

spain's weird yo

[obtuse wave]

@ashen spindle so yeah, airflow might not be best in there

i cleaned it up as best as I could but i dont see it helping much (photo is pre-clean)

[young pecan]

Eh, you'd be surprised.

[ashen spindle]

do you have fans in the front?

[young pecan]

I remember that old LTT video where Luke stuffed a case full of random crap and somehow extended tests didn't show shit.

Proper stuff 80% of the case volume with Santa plushies kinda shit.

[obtuse wave]

@ashen spindle nope, back (left on photo), portside (middle) and upside (not visible)

[young pecan]

Yeah, put some fans in the front.

That's a massive factor for overheating.

[ashen spindle]

yeah front intake helps a lot

because it pushes more air through towards the gpu fans so they can cool better

[obtuse wave]

so 4 fans? (not including gpu's own fans)

[ashen spindle]

just taking the top fan and put it to the front could do the job

[young pecan]

Also be sure to try and have a good airflow pattern. So intake from the front and exhaust out the back is usually a fairly good play.

If you have shitloads of turbulence in the case then it can slightly impact the airflow and thus cooling.

[ashen spindle]

ehh it's not a 3090 no need to go that far

not that much of a heatload to get rid off here

[young pecan]

Free performance is free performance. :p

[obtuse wave]

isn't the top fan helping (as it's blowing right on the gpu?)

[ashen spindle]

sure but overkill for just looking if its airflow or the paste being bad

not really because you need the fresh air on the bottom of the gpu

[obtuse wave]

duh, it's fairly low in the case, don't see how i could put air that low

[ashen spindle]

front fan

[young pecan]

Also if your intake is on the top and exhaust on the back then your cooling isn’t doing much since most of it is getting sucked out before it can cool anything.

Front fans and back fan is usually the play.

[ashen spindle]

front intake so it gets more airflow under the gpu where it cools the gpu chip

G502 scroll wheel is pretty stiff and nice

Funny how years later it appears in store to touch

Also not that easy to actuate side tilt so seems even more the worth while

Just sad that Logitech made it and voltage is run low.

eww, ads

been so long since I've seen an ad that a single 15 second ad is torture to me, brain no like serotonin interruption

[halcyon moss]

did it ever start on tiktok?

a bunch of kids post shitty fortnite clips if you count that

[wheat plume]

[empty wren]

Cringe kid

[umbral knot]

:( not my fault ads are dumb

[crisp granite]

oogly

you're forgetting the money the platform you're on makes off of that single ad

probably...fractions of a cent, mate

[empty wren]

If you add up all the traffic

That can be big money

Think I could sell my current Switch for an OLED model?

[timid chasm]

for a 1:1? doubtful

maybe if it's an older model with a vulnerability that somebody wants for homebrew purposes

[wheat plume]

Still shocked a Switch costs more than 100 euro more than a Series S

[cursive summit]

Cause Nintendo has a monopoly and they are capitalizing on it?

At least emulators give them a big fat finger

Oh and homebrew

[reef patrol]

Ugh... I keep forgetting to sell my Switch.

Thanks for yet Another reminder

[wheat plume]

what one you got?

[reef patrol]

The hackable one. The OG big one.

[wheat plume]

[old marlin]

first question in a job interview by spotify is "what do you do to improve diveristy"

[crimson wigeon]

Say I'm LGBTQIAM+ or something

[old marlin]

even then

why would you wanna be hired by a company like that

[pale sigil]

LGBTQYZ is what i say

xD

[old marlin]

LGHDTV+

[crimson wigeon]

Because muh diversity

[old marlin]

even then

quotas are shit

[old marlin]

Paying money is disagreeing

Exactly

[fair gull]

welcome to the internetz

which is neuland

for us all

it would be kinda funny if germany started not just taxing virtual property sales but estimating the equivilant warehouse size of online retailers and their stock and taxing the estimated m²

[fair gull]

ez answer... every applicant has to roll 3 d120 and roll 3 6s

if you dont u wont ever get hired

[old marlin]

lol

[fair gull]

like whats more diverse than pure chance

[ashen spindle]

"The German federal network agency now defined a downstream of 10 MBit/s and an upstream of 1,3 MBit/s plus a latency of 150 ms at the most as sufficient"

cool, we arrived in 2005 and are no longer in 2001 I guess

[twin obsidian]

pls say this isn't real

[ashen spindle]

fresh news as of today, though it's only a draft so far not final regulation

but no clue how likely that is to change lmao

[twin obsidian]

well i assume it's likely to get lower if anything

[reef patrol]

I write code, I don't hire employees - Fuck do you mean by improving diversity? I mean if you want I can retool your database in fucking RUST to diversify the CODE.

[shadow minnow]

Yeah. It’s not like you were applying for manager or sth. There it would make sense I guess tbf. But regular employee that has nothing to do with managing potentional /employees…

[crimson wigeon]

Think it just means if you're straight white guy, would you give up your position if a more "diverse" candidate came in

[ancient stirrup]

i have a question. Is it possible to disable the analog movement?

[reef patrol]

#archived_questions_answers - Also yes.

[ancient stirrup]

ok ty

[little raptor]

That's probably the feature on this board I care the least about 🤷

[cursive summit]

So, be like me

Bought Wooting 1

Analog didn't work in my games

Disabled analog

Disabled RGB

Turn on tachyon

Comfy af mech keyboard

With added benefits if you play something analog enabled like idk GTA V

[shadow minnow]

Hmm 3080 ti waterforce wb can be bought for 1600€ atm. But it’s expected to ship in 5 months

Ngl still a rather tempting price seeing how much does it cost elsewhere and considering that I wouldn’t use it until summer holidays that much nonetheless

[reef patrol]

Still waiting for EK to send me new blocks, so I can get my loop rebuilt.

[shadow minnow]

Hmm do I buy

[ashen spindle]

At this point you might as well sell your setup and buy a complete new next gen build

[shadow minnow]

Well I would probably lose quite a bit of money. And it doesn’t look like such a bad price.
And also since only thing that would change with new gen would be cpu and ram.

Asking more of if I ever buy a GPU if I shouldn’t do it mine since not planning to sell this pc tbh

Also who would buy it without a GPU

[ashen spindle]

people who have a gpu and want to upgrade the rest?

ofc you would lose money since it's shit rocket lake lmao

[shadow minnow]

Well I am just not gonna do it then. Not losing as much performance as it. My question really is just if 3080 ti for that price is worth it

[ashen spindle]

3080ti is not worth it even at msrp lmao

almsot double the 3080 for <10% more

[shadow minnow]

Well can’t get 3080 mode that much less.
And extra vram and stuff is nice.
Also since 3080s with added waterblock cost would almost cost as much.
Mainly want it for 4K so cpu wouldn’t matter as much if RKL.
But question is, what is a good price you can get 3080 atm/where. Since couldn’t really find any better deal myself

[ashen spindle]

probably would try to get a FE again since they sell for msrp but I already got what I need

6800xt is also usually a couple hundred cheaper so relatively a lot better

what sites even offers a waitlist of 5 months lmao

[shadow minnow]

Well can’t really anymore since now needing two HDMI 2.1s has gone to certainly from unlikely. But yeah otherwise would probably be lot better option. Even though idk if I could get that in my country still.

[ashen spindle]

tf are you doing that you need two of them

are you playing two games at the same time

[shadow minnow]

Two 4k144 10bit monitors

[ashen spindle]

are you playing two games at the same time or split upon both screens?

if not I'm certain you dont need full capacity of the second screen lmao

[young pecan]

Quin, everybody knows he’s not being smart with his build.

[ashen spindle]

oh I know

[young pecan]

If he was there’s a lot of ways he could have made it both faster and cheaper, kek.

[ashen spindle]

I told him before he build it that it makes no sense to wait for rkl and that it would be worse than zen3

[young pecan]

More money than sense is a deadly flaw.

Frankly Zen3 is kicking the shit out of basically everything still.

[shadow minnow]

Well don’t think there would be really ways to make it that much faster.
Even if I do agree many aspects of the build are not very reasonable
But from reviews 68xt seems to do bit worse at 4K

[young pecan]

Alder lake barely wins due to next gen components which isn’t fair.

[young pecan]

Delusions omg.

[shadow minnow]

Okay tell me how could I make it so much faster

[young pecan]

Either go Alder Lake or Zen3 and any 3080 at near MSRP. Literally water block it.

Use your spare cash for storage.

This is a braindead easy question.

[ashen spindle]

I didnt say faster, but same/slightly better peformance for less money lmao

[shadow minnow]

Not gonna buy a new cpu especially for 4K

[ashen spindle]

but thats already in the past anyway

[shadow minnow]

Tbf that probably would be possible. Can’t disagree

[young pecan]

rolls eyes Yes, but we all warned him in the past.

More money than sense.

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, that. So now just wondering about getting a GPU

[ashen spindle]

what shop offers you a waitlist for 5 months?

[young pecan]

Just buy any cheap card with a block and do the water cooling yourself. Forgo the idiot Gigabyte card.

[ashen spindle]

genuinely curious what shop is still doing that

[young pecan]

Spending extra money for stupid reasons.

[reef tundra]

Why would you want to drive two 4k@144hz simultaneously?

[shadow minnow]

Well 3080 ti non waterblocked can get for same price so would be more with waterblock.
And 3080 would be same price with less performance.
So also asking if any stores shipping to uk or central EU may have better deals. Since from what I can find in my country it seems to make most sense when It comes to money/performance

Since 3080 + waterblock would cost just as much here

[young pecan]

Join a stock drops discord or maybe Quin can help so you can stop with this finally.

I keep finding 3080Tis for 2200 AUD.

That’s very cheap compared to your current shit.

Even putting a decent waterblock on it wouldn’t push past your cheapest gigabyte card and it won’t have the weakness of being made by gigabyte.

[shadow minnow]

Well 2200 AUD + waterblock would make it almost same price. But bigger issue is I can’t find anything as cheap here myself

[old marlin]

x-kom

[young pecan]

I suggest marketplace.

Cornering + competitive buying with cash can help.

Everything in life is a negotiation.

[reef tundra]

2x 4k@144hz would require the throughput of 19.2x 1080p@60hz. If my mathematics are correct.
NumberOfMonitors * ResolutionRatio * FPSRatio= 2 * (4/1) * (144/60) = 19.2

[young pecan]

Also remember to be scoping a few tags like ‘GPU’ and ‘3080Ti’ out at like... midnight to 2am. That’s when the night lads will be putting ads up.

[reef tundra]

[shadow minnow]

Don’t forget it being 10bit

So 24 times

[reef tundra]

I assume 8bit being the standard and it relating to amount of bits allocated to define each colour channel?

Meaning each pixel has typically 24bits to define its colour

But the ones you mention would be 10bit per colour channel, giving 30bits of colour resolution?

And all that at 4k@144hz..

two

https://tenor.com/view/red-dwarf-kryten-appreciation-cant-cope-up-gif-3540355

[ashen spindle]

yes and hdmi and DisplayPort have more than enough bandwidth for that, that's not the issue

[shadow minnow]

Yeah. DP needs DSC for now but DP 2.0 should fix that

[ashen spindle]

ah right, forgot you also think dsc is bad

[shadow minnow]

It’s worse than no DSC but usually not that much different. There are cases where it may be seen so it’s better to not use it but it’s still pretty good

[ashen spindle]

mhm and you have seen that in person or did some reddit genius say that

[old marlin]

has compression in the name

must be bad

[reef patrol]

How good is Switch emulation these days?

Edit: Seems pretty solid. Finally put my Switch up for sale. Here's hoping someone will bite in these desperate times for 300 bucks 😄

[shadow minnow]

Seen it in person. Just saying that no compression is better than losy compression even if it’s just by really negligible ammount

[ashen spindle]

visually losless != lossy

[ashen spindle]

headphone recommendations for music listening with some punchy bass

[twin obsidian]

2 * 12inch subwoofers mounted 10cm away from your ears

[shadow minnow]

I would go for 2*15 inch subs

[fair gull]

so hd650s

is what i prob wanna go for

the real question is what dac/amp @young pecan @old marlin

[pale sigil]

I've been wanting them for years

Dream headphones

Or well

The drivers as they use the same ones with the um

Maassrop ones

Dac and app would prob be um

Magni 3+

And

Modi 3+

Always forget the names off by heart

[cursive summit]

Pleasant

I probably wouldn't advice Schiit anymore rn

Atom released the new one very recently

https://jdslabs.com/product/atom-dac-plus/

https://jdslabs.com/product/atom-amp/

Same price as Schiits ones too

[fair gull]

tmw

not on thomann

also looks like us only?

[neat oriole]

If you’re going to buy from US just get a schiit magni 3+

[fair gull]

well i wanted to buy from thomann in germany

[neat oriole]

If you want a more EU friendly options ifi zen CAN is a nice sounding amp that pairs nicely with the HD650

It’s more expensive

But I guess it saves you the import and shipping

[pale sigil]

Schiit is in the EU

[reef tundra]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

its in the EU?

[neat oriole]

Yeah but schiit eu restock is

[wheat plume]

Sounds like a shit situation

(sorry... Bad pun... Imma go leave now)

[reef tundra]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[umbral knot]

just finished setting up my pixel 6 pro and it's quite sexy

[empty wren]

Hmm

Sadly a lot of pixel esque features are gone

Also weird they did glossy sides on expensive model and matte on the regular pixel 6

[umbral knot]

wack

from the ~30 minutes that I've used it, it's pretty nice

although my other phone was starting to slow down so that might be why it feels so good

my Oneplus 7 pro has seen better days

[empty wren]

Well squeeze is great

Or was

Also wireless charging is below rated speeds

But that apparently will or has been fixed

Kinda disappointing they stuck to three years of OS updates

[reef tundra]

Are you holding it correctly

• ❤️ apple

[empty wren]

Screw apple for that

How could they missed that

[reef tundra]

[empty wren]

Or

Should I say

Why did they pretend to not knoe

I guess Pixel has software features

[reef tundra]

Its like making a car and calling driving off a cliff to be normal usage to gain the movement

[empty wren]

Honestly pretty bland and more dry

With loss of features in my opinion

[reef tundra]

Ah yes, you dont need engine. Drive off cliff

user uses it wrong

stop expecting it to do stuff

[empty wren]

Pedals are fine

$700 is tempting

For the Pixel 6

But for about the same price

Asus ROG phone

[reef tundra]

Brakes? why do you want to have brakes in your car? Just ease it with the gas pedal and you wont need brakes

[empty wren]

And that is like peak

[reef tundra]

[empty wren]

About that

You push back to break

Get with the program pincus

[reef tundra]

You microwave it

[empty wren]

I guess we will see how both will age

[reef tundra]

since the new OS can do that now

[empty wren]

I hope for the onxe the pixel does not have the camera limping

[reef tundra]

Camera limping?

[empty wren]

So

Every pixel I used

Had the camera fail severely

Or randomly

Randomly as in would reoccur unknowingly

[reef tundra]

Like total failure?

non software related?

[empty wren]

For some people yes

But root cause

Google either pretends to not know

[reef tundra]

Overheating?

[empty wren]

No

You turn on the camera app

App says fatal error

No viewfinder

Just a black scree

Is updates

Or camera updates have caused this

[reef tundra]

But the hardware should be functional?

[empty wren]

I am sure there is more I am missing

It might be in some scenarios

It is very complex matter

Strange in the fact the phone was marketed to have the best of the kinf

Also

The second one is worse

Also

Makes camera incredibly unreliable

At least with case a

Phone would be replaced

[reef tundra]

They at least honour their warranty?

[empty wren]

Problem is

This happens 2 or so years after

[reef tundra]

[empty wren]

Yeah

[reef tundra]

How coincidental

[empty wren]

As I said strange circumstances

[reef tundra]

Its almost like it has been planned to fail after 2 years. The legal minimum

[empty wren]

Which is why I also want to get away from it

[reef tundra]

[empty wren]

China sells better phones

And today

They are maybe even able to be called bleeding edge

Pixel photo quality degraded this generation

[reef tundra]

I barely think about my phone, they all lasted longer than when I finally got a new one after like 5 years. In total had like 4 or 5 smartphones and all worked fine

[empty wren]

Due to their hyper contrast with high saturation look algorithm

Depends on how much you use it

Locke uses his as a phone

Batteries are not forever

The smaller the capacity the worse it could show

As the processor soc matters too

[reef tundra]

With fast charging (<30m) so long as the battery holds like half a day its good enough for me

[empty wren]

Oh

Forgot that variable

Kills battery sooner

Oof

I need to consider that now

Given I want a 65w charging phonr

[reef tundra]

🤷 Expected lifespan of li-ion is like a year. 2 years at the high end, if you daily cycle

[empty wren]

I guess

Acrually nevermind

[reef tundra]

~300 to 600 cycles

[empty wren]

Dual setup cells

Probably fine

Yes reduced capacity

[reef tundra]

80% of original or something like that

[empty wren]

But 6000mAh is still impressuve

Honestly I am fine with that

Especially since can be replaced

Not easy yes

Could underclock

Or find a different kernel

Least Google is not doing what apple was with battery xpu throttling

[misty saffron]

why exactly is throttling bad?

i was quite glad i could use my phone when that happened

[fair gull]

guess ill have to order from those companies then since they all arent on thomanns store (basically where i order all things audio)

[pale sigil]

What phone

[fair gull]

welp ordered a FETHead for now to boost my mic audio

[misty saffron]

2 year old 11 pro max

[pale sigil]

That's pretty bad lmao

Have you dropped it a lot

[misty saffron]

no never

how is it bad tho

i bought it on release day

[pale sigil]

My mum who uses it all day everyday is on 93%

And it's over two years old

[misty saffron]

unlucky then i guess

[pale sigil]

Also

[misty saffron]

my point still stands: throttling is great

[pale sigil]

Is it only phones that show battery health

[misty saffron]

yes

you can see ipads’ battery health on pc though

[fair gull]

now i wonder

do macbööks show health

[misty saffron]

like, the battery was 4 degrees at 20% charge and it didn’t turn off

it lagged like shit but it worked

[pale sigil]

How?

[misty saffron]

coconutbattery

[pale sigil]

Need a jailbreak?

[misty saffron]

no, need a mac

[pale sigil]

Fucker

XD

[misty saffron]

if you’re jailbroken

there’s a tweak

System Info

[pale sigil]

http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm

[young pecan]

Iirc there's a settings tweak that shows literally every shred of data about the device. Forget what it's called.

Idk if it's systeminfo.

[misty saffron]

https://apt.arx8x.net/

[pale sigil]

Hmm

[misty saffron]

it is

[fair gull]

on the topic of backup

[young pecan]

Systeminfo ftw.

[fair gull]

still need to figure out how to make timemachine backups to google drive

[pale sigil]

I stopped doing jailbreak since it became to much effort

Had to boot up a Linux os just to. Jailbreak the fucking thing

And it wouldn't always succeed

[misty saffron]

uhm

taurine?

u0?

[young pecan]

Taurine is pretty braindead.

[pale sigil]

u0 being?

[misty saffron]

i’ve had to switch from u0 for some reason

don’t remember it though

[young pecan]

I know, hyper braindead. I love it.

Taurine is literally 2 brain cells effort and really damn stable. So fucking glad I switched from u0.

[misty saffron]

i have to rejailbreak like twice a month, not sure how that is too much effort

don’t even have to resign

[pale sigil]

U0 being uncover right?

[misty saffron]

yes

[fair gull]

tmw u dont have to jailbreak ever

[pale sigil]

My issue was I couldn't jailbreak via normal. Means

Had to boot up a Linux distro and use terminal

[young pecan]

The fuck?

[pale sigil]

And my ipads battery sucks asssssssss

[misty saffron]

yes, i’ll bet you’re talking about checkra1n

[fair gull]

isnt u0 an automated linux shell

[young pecan]

Dude, install AltStore and AltServer on your PC and just install and sign Taurine.

[fair gull]

psure i used some automated tool last time i needed to jailbreak

[misty saffron]

afterwards install reprovision reborn and never worry about it again

[young pecan]

^ this.

ReProvision is literally so pog.

[pale sigil]

Didn't know this was a thing

[misty saffron]

has it ever not worked?

[pale sigil]

And yes

It died for a bit

Hence reborn

Lol

Ye I used altseever for some time

[young pecan]

Yo, sauce?

[misty saffron]

altdaemon

[fair gull]

all those old things in here

[young pecan]

I'm more than happy to mix that shit in with ReProv.

[misty saffron]

eh, don’t

[young pecan]

No? Iirc that never used to be an issue.

[misty saffron]

people on r/jailbreak dickride altstore’s dev because they’re too retarded to make reprovision reborn work

[pale sigil]

Hm., I'll try taurine

[misty saffron]

as in too retarded to install through the app, not altstore

[pale sigil]

Wot

[young pecan]

Packix, yee?

[pale sigil]

ah yes

i forgot im forced to use icloud

for altstore

Do i still hve to use a modified client

for altstore

could've gone with shit like monero to draw less attention

[crimson wigeon]

Raptoreum is the hot new crypto that will moon any day now

[cursive summit]

It already did...

I don't believe it'll moon again

[crimson wigeon]

Nah just wait next year it'll be worth 100x!

[cursive summit]

AMP, CKB and LRC are the current "big things"

LRC might do 10$ by end of 2022

AMP and CKB are wildcards, but with how cheap they are I expect 10x investment by Q3 2022

Obv 10x will still be not that much

[pale sigil]

Fuck ye

Got an amazon voucher off me mams boyfriend and the g703 is cheap atm 💪

[empty wren]

What mouse did you use before or currently

[pale sigil]

G403@empty wren

Basically the same but wireless

[empty wren]

Ah alright

[pale sigil]

Im picky with mice

Till I got my 403 a few years ago I went through so many

[empty wren]

Hmm I mean a lot of people

Like a certain shape

These days a lot of then are synmetrical

[pale sigil]

For me its mainly size

[empty wren]

Ah

[pale sigil]

Not to fussed about size

I have the corsair spaceship at one point

[empty wren]

Is that big?

[pale sigil]

It's what @digital cliff called it xD

[empty wren]

Ah ergonomical mouse

Looks quite interesting

[reef patrol]

Heavy as sin.

[empty wren]

Oh so weights too

Always found those silly

They can only be placed in one spot

[reef patrol]

No the mouse is heavy. In general

[empty wren]

Oh

Probably fine

My Z

Is epicly

117g

[shadow minnow]

G703 is imo great

[lost robin]

if i buy the wooting two he now when will i get the keyboard im located in the Netherlands

[lost robin]

and does the same go for the wooting 60 he

[empty wren]

More like a few months in that timeframe

So April may june

[lost robin]

Thanks!

[empty wren]

Much easier to predict a product which had been done successfully before

Anyways surely it will arrive then

Wooting got a ton of experience in the past times

[pale sigil]

60HE is Q2

No specific dates yet

[quaint hearth]

what does Q2 mean

[reef patrol]

Google to the rescue.

[shadow minnow]

Q2 is meant as second quarter of a year basically

[pale sigil]

On a 2mb/s network

[quaint hearth]

Is the razor viper ultimatewired best mouse to get atm?

[pulsar lantern]

no such thing as best mouse

there are good mice but it depends on if you like wired or wireless, light or heavy, how many buttons you want etc.

shape as well

[shadow minnow]

True

[quaint hearth]

sensor wise

[ashen spindle]

most modern mice use the same

or at least ones that are basically the same performance wise

[true quest]

still waiting for wooting vibrating analog mouse

[wheat plume]

👀 Intel CPU with AMD graphics???

[crimson wigeon]

Yes that was a thing back then

[wheat plume]

O.o

[ashen spindle]

yes couple years old already

[wheat plume]

no shit, 8th gen xd

but wtf?!? AMD and Intell working together...

[crimson wigeon]

It's more likely than you think

[wheat plume]

Is this the only CPU they made?

[ashen spindle]

they didnt really work together they just put amds apu part onto their cpu part

[wheat plume]

ah

[ashen spindle]

think of it like a API on hardware level in between

[wheat plume]

hmmmmmmmmmm ok

[ashen spindle]

also they work together all the time as they cross license x86

[wheat plume]

oh... TIL

COD Warzone seems to be an easy game to run

this is getting 110FPS on mostly low and 1080 so could bump it to medium

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/adata-xpg-vault-1tb-ssd-mouse

I like this

I like this a lot

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume why though lol

[ashen spindle]

put game on the ssd and when you get mad yet the mouse and get dc'd

[wheat plume]

:')

[reef tundra]

Threaten physical violence towards your software

[ashen spindle]

but yes I also dont see the point, adds weight, ads cost and maybe issues when it gets hot

[reef tundra]

Not only are you having it be limited by USB. It also gets to share it with the mouse related stuff

And the added latency of the signals..

[ashen spindle]

let me show you the price of a usb stick

ye it's the only thing I could think of too but already saw the downside haha

[crimson wigeon]

Put my operating system in my mouse yes please

[ashen spindle]

my peripherals use Arch btw

[reef tundra]

Who doesnt like the entire game/os to panic when the mouse disconnects for even a moment

[shadow minnow]

Better when your mouse being 1ms or faster makes the whole game be broken

[pale sigil]

Could technically be true if you wan the os off it

Aww shit

A mouse with a rasberry pi in it

Omg

Mouse and pc wherever you go

[ashen spindle]

still doesnt make sense because if its small enough to be in a mouse with all the things might as well have it as a usb stick so you can use it without a mouse if you only need a keyboard for example

I just dont see any benefit aside form extreme lazyness of not wanting to have 2 parts to carry

[shadow minnow]

And you are gonna have to carry mouse cable or wireless dongle nonetheless

Unless it’s Bluetooth which well

Has its disadvantages

[ashen spindle]

I could see this or a keyboard with a pi in it as something for tech support/ diagnosis etc.

but that's a whole other market

and even then same limitations come up

cool ideas but just dont see any actual benefits

[shadow minnow]

Yeah. Still honestly think it would be better in separate usb or wireless receiver for mouse.

[shadow minnow]

^

[reef tundra]

Atleast add a tiny keyboard on the mouse

[pale sigil]

I should get a rasberry pi for me grandad

He still uses a pentium 4 pc upstairs

Wait no Intel duo now

Get them using Linux @wheat plume

[ashen spindle]

sometimes I think you should probably disable autocorrect on discord

[pale sigil]

Tis my phone

[crimson wigeon]

Pi in keyboard? So Raspi 400 then?

[pale sigil]

Couldn't live without it lol as you can see

[ashen spindle]

I mean if seen more weird things than corrected thing comes from it lmao

just get neuralink ez

[hardy idol]

How fiix this

lol

like, can I bypass it

Do I shrink my batterysize to 0.1

[reef tundra]

Charge the battery?

[hardy idol]

because I can not charge the battery

the battery is kind of dead

[hardy idol]

I'm not that stupid

[unique mica]

Take out the battery

[hardy idol]

Does that solve it, really?

[unique mica]

And leave it plugged in

Yeah I think it'll indicate 100% in some cases

[hardy idol]

tbh I might as well because rn it's just unnecessary weight too

[unique mica]

Worth a try

[hardy idol]

but can't I disable it software side

because idk, don't have tools with me here either

[unique mica]

What device is it

[hardy idol]

Zephyrus 17

[unique mica]

Year?

Asus releases devices under the same name each year

So it's hard to pinpoint the model

[reef tundra]

What is the listed output voltage of the battery?

[hardy idol]

no idea

[reef tundra]

Should be listed on the label physically on the battery is required to have.

[hardy idol]

it has the i7-9750H

I don't have the laptop open rn

Can't read through the laptop keyboard

[unique mica]

Seems like 15.4V

At least replacement batteries are rated that

[hardy idol]

anyway my windows install just for forza and beamng and solidworks+other school applications probably

I'm switching up my main OS

:)

an OS that doesn't bitch about battery levels

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-erik-king-james-doakes-surprise-motherfucker-surprise-gif-4719446

[reef tundra]

That could be bios bitching

[fair gull]

thats the bios flasher bitching

[unique mica]

Anyway here's a video that shows a lot: https://youtu.be/_WxPpU-_rKc

[fair gull]

why do people like to jump on windows being shit when in fct its not being shit

[unique mica]

Only problem being, it's in chinese

[hardy idol]

fuck that fucker then

[hardy idol]

i alr repasted it

[fair gull]

at least bitch about actual shit things in windows

[hardy idol]

did it like, 2 months ago

[unique mica]

Well then you won't have problems with the battery I suppose

[hardy idol]

the registry lol

[unique mica]

I posted this because it also shows battery removal

[fair gull]

hows the registry shit?

[hardy idol]

ooh

so ill delete the battery from the laptop

[unique mica]

Around the 7:30 mark

[hardy idol]

fooken weird way to do shit

[fair gull]

also battery removal usually counts as 0%

[hardy idol]

oh

[fair gull]

is it?

a 1 stop api to store settings

[unique mica]

Does it?

[fair gull]

usually yes

it also knows the battery is disconnected

[hardy idol]

but it's kinda not nice to do things in

hmm

Tony how do you suggest I do this

[fair gull]

id try disabling the acpi battery driver

rebooting

and hoping it thinks its a pc

[hardy idol]

ah so

this, right?

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/reptile-lol-hehehe-gif-5441436

[fair gull]

not uninstall u dunce

deactivate

uninstall just makes it reappear

[hardy idol]

ok it is now uh

♿

Disabled

[fair gull]

reboot and pray it doesnt know

[hardy idol]

oki

iT NO BITCh anymore

yehes

Thanks Tonyyy

[fair gull]

now pray ur bios wont bitch

xD

[hardy idol]

yeah ok

well

lesgo

[fair gull]

some bios flashers do internal bios checks aswell

[pale sigil]

Just hope vio don't bitch

[fair gull]

vi will bitch regardless

also if battery is dead and you dont plan to replace it soon

[hardy idol]

Fucking bitch bios

[fair gull]

leave battery disabled

[hardy idol]

It wants 20%

I fucking

[fair gull]

ya so

the only way of hope then

is download from manufacturer

[hardy idol]

Buy new battery but fuck that

[fair gull]

make freedos boot stick with rufus

and pray

the flashtool has a battery disable switch

[hardy idol]

Nah I

I just

Fuck the firmware update I guess

It won't bitch about anything I think

Except where the bios checks for itself

[fair gull]

also just read

asus doesnt warn should the battery be not present

which is

dumb

[hardy idol]

yes

it says

[fair gull]

so open it up and disconnect

[hardy idol]

connect the battery and make sure its 20%

no it wont uh

like

it needs the battery connected

[fair gull]

Hello everyone

I have opened the laptop (configuration in the original post) and unplugged the cable connecting the battery to the motherboard, without removing the battery itself, as I was concerned it might disrupt the airflow in the laptop.

Once this was done, the check was bypassed as there was no battery detected by the system 

[hardy idol]

ooh

Aha

i will try that later someday

when i find tools

[fair gull]

btw the bios files from the website dont allow bypassing battery with a flag

[hardy idol]

ah ok

Is the recommended tool to flash .iso onto USB still rufus?

[fair gull]

yes

unless its a win iso

if its win10/win11 id recommend their media creation tool

[hardy idol]

Oki

[fair gull]

also

for linux

use linux live usb creator

[hardy idol]

Ah oki

[pale sigil]

Ohh you get terminus free with github student

Sorted

[shadow minnow]

Idk who is deciding about YouTube stuff but it makes no sense. Like they just make you want to use the app less. For example, still no PIP on iOS - why? Now when people are doing sth else on phone they have to use sth else, and get used to using sth else, at the end using YouTube less on average. Why.
And the annoyance of 35 second continuous non shippable ads…

[reef patrol]

Use an alternative youtube app?

Use adblock?

[fair gull]

also theres no pip on android either unless u pay

or use modded apps

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume if loading games is as slow as the switch on the deck via sd card I'm deffo gonna get 512gb if j can 😂

[reef patrol]

SD loading is slow? Sounds like you have a slow card 😄

[wheat plume]

The Deck had nvme storage

Except the 64gb version

[fair gull]

also

im psure they let people playtest the deck

[wheat plume]

Yep

Dev kits going around

[fair gull]

and didnt tell em which games where on card and which werent

also me switch games are also fast loading

[twin obsidian]

wasn't there a ltt video already about that ?

[fair gull]

i dont even install to emmc

[fair gull]

idk might have been since hes kinda big

i only loosely follow the deck cause its of no interest to me

[twin obsidian]

i reserved one so I'm keeping a close eye

much more interesting than the switch to me

[fair gull]

to me the switch is more interesting since i play some of the games

so i get emulation and switch games

[twin obsidian]

switch is fine, but building a libary is so damn expensive

[fair gull]

its not?

if u already have one that can homebrew

ure free to go

[twin obsidian]

oh yea forgot about homebrew

and i have one of the easy to mod versions

[fair gull]

so

u have free switch games

and almost full retroarch support

[twin obsidian]

tempting

[fair gull]

the steamdeck would only lay round for me

[twin obsidian]

but homebrew on the 3ds is enough for now

[fair gull]

cause i got 2 modable switches and a pc that just blows the deck out the water

so it wouldnt replace anything

and just suck out money

[twin obsidian]

i have to travel for work

[wheat plume]

Send me yours then if you get it early xd

[twin obsidian]

and switch is imo not enough for gaming on the go

[cursive summit]

It's well more than enough

Wtf are you talking about

[fair gull]

not like id know what to game in half an hour of my ride time

its like

dead time

[twin obsidian]

for my tastes

[fair gull]

i dont even take my macbook for coding with me

[cursive summit]

So you are like me, no interest in Nintendo's catalogue

But for a Nintendo fanboy/girl Switch has a crap ton of things to play

[twin obsidian]

yea mostly not interested some games were awesome

[fair gull]

even emulating u can play whatever

so unless u want pc games

its capable

imo

[twin obsidian]

for emulating i'm using the new 3ds

[cursive summit]

Just waiting for Arma 4 here

The new game engine is sick

[fair gull]

the new 3ds cant do psp

so

my n3ds is basically

a sleeping modded thing

i havent touched in yrs

[twin obsidian]

i love mine, the folding makes it feel more portable and it's somehow more fun for me

[fair gull]

u realize the deck wont fold right

at least without breaking it it wont

[wheat plume]

Foldable PC gaming handheld

[twin obsidian]

Yes but I don't have to buy any new games for it.

[fair gull]

i mean

i dont need to for my switch either

[wheat plume]

The DS emulator I have comes with cheats
It's so fun xd

[empty wren]

Anybody know of some phones with a large battery and very fast charging, right now down to Asus ROG Phone 5S which has a 6000mAh battery and the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 which has 120W charging. I have a feeling it may suck to use the Black Shark 4 in the US

[wheat plume]

There is a cheat for super Mario bros where you can hold the jump button to hover

[cursive summit]

Imagine cheating in SP

Cheating is fun only in MP

But that's scummy af so don't do that

[empty wren]

.....

Honestly cheating in multiplayer can be fun

Pretty sure people used to play modded game in mw2

[pale sigil]

There were modded servers

[reef patrol]

Hide and seek with objects was fun in MW.

[pale sigil]

And zombies

Or well

Halo infection but cod

[thick elk]

Great, another mouse died on me, why can't they just put better switches under the MMB.
(This time my Roccat burst pro)

[empty wren]

Yeah cylinder press buttons in the square housing do not get good reception, they can buildup dust and pretty sure on average lifetime is not great. A few nice have microswitches of the same type used for the middle mouse

[thick elk]

It also doesn't help that while browsing I extensively use autoscroll, and I play a lot of paradox games where you use it to pan across the map.

Essentially I use MMB more than the right mouse button

[fair gull]

how about

buy rats

[empty wren]

Could replace it

[fair gull]

not mice

[empty wren]

Oh rats have microswitches for middle mouse nice

[thick elk]

I will just go down the rma route, it's still under warranty

[empty wren]

Intelimouse classic has it too

[empty wren]

You got another mouse to hold you out?

[thick elk]

you could say that I have a few backups laying around

[empty wren]

Ah alright

[obtuse wave]

is 2666hz RAM acceptable for budget gaming setup? I was thinking of buying another piece of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666mhz (upgrade from 8gb to 16gb) as it would be 2.5x cheaper than buying a 3200+ 16GB set

[ashen spindle]

what cpu

[obtuse wave]

assuming it works of course, i bought the PC 3 years ago and not sure how it will react to adding another piece of RAM now

ryzen 5 1600 (older, not the renewed one)

first gen

[ashen spindle]

should be fine, the only issue is you might get unlucky and the ram wont work

because there is always a tiny chance that ram sticks dont like each other if you mix them

even if it's the exact same kits

[obtuse wave]

i hope i'll be able to return if that happens

[ashen spindle]

probably? 14 day return for anything if in EU, US I have no fucking idea

[obtuse wave]

yep EU

thanks

[reef patrol]

With a 1st gen Ryzen, you might as well stick with that 2666mhz RAM. Cause... Those CPUs are very picky with higher frequency RAM.

[chrome estuary]

so is it really worth it waiting for the ryzen 6 series? all estimations i've seen is 15% and it's still over half a year away.

[ashen spindle]

given everyone assume we hear a release date during CES at january 4th

wait till then and make your decision there

[crimson wigeon]

Big improvements in computing is always half a year away

[cursive summit]

Is that the brand new 7 core CPUs?

Ryzen 6

[chrome estuary]

nfc

[ashen spindle]

but the over half year away would be the 7 series not 6, that one comes much sooner

but yeah, january 4th has AMD Intel and nvidia keynotes

so expect something from all vendors that day

[cursive summit]

AMD's almost confirmed to announce Rembrandt amongst other things

Intel's prolly GPUs, I guess

[chrome estuary]

i'll see what amd says and decide if i really care enough to wait for 6000/7000 or go into a 5900x

if the 6 series releases soon, i'll probably just get the 5900x 6 series equivalent

[ashen spindle]

it is very likely to come out first quarter

[cursive summit]

Hope you are okay with waiting for next December

[ashen spindle]

anything later wouldnt make much sense

[chrome estuary]

https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/364621.774b26a66cf65db04368a19fee15567b.1600.jpg

also i've got a question

[ashen spindle]

personal guess is that they still come out in january

[chrome estuary]

is removing your like... what I only assume is push fans from a rad a bad idea?

i know nothing about liquid cooling

[ashen spindle]

depends on the rest of the airflow and all that, just monitor temps of it and if it doesnt go insane it's fine

I assume it has a water temperature sensor?

[chrome estuary]

I'd presume it would. This isn't my computer but the GPU in it is only a tiny bit larger than mine

This is the cooler master lanbox, a case i really want

however if i go with a higher end amd CPU, i'm looking into getting an aio CPU cooler.

and the only place for one on this case is where that rad is there.

[ashen spindle]

5900x and equivalent are perfectly fine with a NH-D15 or equivalent

unless you dont want a chunky cooler

[chrome estuary]

oh i don't mind a chunky cooler

i've got a buddy with a 5800x and he says his runs like a furnace and even had to undervolt it

[ashen spindle]

did he forget his thermal paste

coworkers 5950x runs absolutely fine on it

[chrome estuary]

well damn

i'll seriously look into it when i go to buy my cpu then since this case is really cool and i want it

[dreamy galleon]

keep in mind also that 6000 series is gonna be on a new *socket (presumably with DDR5) so the mobo and ram are going to be an appreciable amount more expensive

[ashen spindle]

no

[dreamy galleon]

no?

[ashen spindle]

zen 4 will use a new socket but zen3 with v cache is still the same

[dreamy galleon]

6000 series will be AM4?

I thought they said that the 5000 series would be the last on the AM4 socket

[ashen spindle]

if 6000 series will be zen3D yes, unless they change the plans and keep the 5 series name

but currently it looks like zen4 would be 7000 and zen4 is when am5 comes in play

[dreamy galleon]

where are you getting that info? a quick google is telling me that at least as of october they were saying 6000 series would be using zen4

[ashen spindle]

the whole reason desktop went from 3000 to 5000 was that 4000 mobile chips were using zen2 and same is going to be the case for rembrandt and other zen3+ apus

so zen4 would have to be another name up on that

[dreamy galleon]

so you're expecting the 6000 to be the mobile cpus and 7000 to be zen4

[ashen spindle]

no im expecting 6000 to be a mix like 4000 was

[dreamy galleon]

gotcha

[ashen spindle]

zen3+ for apus and zen3D for desktop

[dreamy galleon]

on the other topic I was also surprised at the temps being higher on the 5600x than I'm used to but it's more or less an artefact of the way the chip records temperature / the design point of the hardware, the actual heat output wasn't any higher than usual

so if buddy upgraded from intel he might be jumping to the same conclusion I did that it "ran hot"

[ashen spindle]

yup temperature does not equal powerdraw

[dreamy galleon]

could be nice then if there's another upgrade for AM4 on desktop - I figured I'd be stuck with this for the next decade but maybe I'll be able to pick a 6600XT or whatever stupid name they give it on the used market in a couple years

[ashen spindle]

I mean at that time it wont make much sense to go for such a tiny upgrade most likely

[dreamy galleon]

I usually like to stick with a particular PC for a decade or so, so if I get lucky and someone just wants to get rid of the chip after they upgrade in like 4 or 5 years I'd probably do it

more likely it'd be like the top of the line chip of the series and that way I get the best performance I can have out of the platform
