but

tbf

alsa audio driver in qemu has been garbage for multiple years now

its the default iirc

u can

set it to none

[wheat plume]

Ive swapped over to Pipewire, its so nice but OBS has problems with it currently

[ashen spindle]

looked at it again, it is only optional if you draw about as much power as a single 8 pin could give, if you want more than it only works if the 4 sensor pins detect it to be ok

[thick elk]

The reason I use pipewire is pulse does not always work, sometimes I use bluetooth audio, and more importantly easyeffects.
Have not run into anything that doesn't work, probably because I have not used obs in some time.

[reef tundra]

Blame obama

why would obama do this

https://tenor.com/view/obama-cookies-thanks-obama-comedy-lol-gif-5023036

[crimson wigeon]

Iunno, last time I tried I paired the device, and then it just showed up as a device I could send audio to

[empty wren]

Never seen that before

[reef tundra]

Printbed has a texture

Probably using an auto-release bed

Where the print gets loosend on cooldown

[empty wren]

Oh I just remembered, I messed with my print offset on this print

Though it does not explain this

[misty saffron]

print amogus

now

[empty wren]

Seems like a suspicious request

[misty saffron]

[empty wren]

Oh okay I guess I could print that not that much of a waste of material

[misty saffron]

i will be waiting for pictures

[empty wren]

In Snapchat or here?

[misty saffron]

both

[empty wren]

AlphaCode's based on Gopher or something?

Cause GPT-3 had some good results in writing code, this is next level

But the way AI is evolving

It is scary if programmers will even be relevant in the future

The ones who don't work on AI

[ashen spindle]

not enough data to train uefi really, given how dependant it is on the actual hardware and only has like 1 dev per company working on it from the OEMs lol

[empty wren]

Hoorah for computer engineers

[ashen spindle]

more like hooray for hackers since they can be sure to find the same flaw in multiple places

[empty wren]

Yeah hacking will probably always be relevant

[radiant token]

[wheat plume]

Just got my bundle in

gaiming mouse

Xd

[misty saffron]

gayming

[timid chasm]

uh

why are you buying a keyboard?

Are you cheating on us?

[pale sigil]

#🍌│secret-funsize-shenanigans @timid chasm xd

[timid chasm]

hah funny

[old marlin]

why did you buy it

[pale sigil]

Gamer girl

[wheat plume]

I want to try a 60% board + the bundle comes with a mouse I can send to my sister

[old marlin]

I feel sorry for her

[wheat plume]

Also, the bundle was cheaper than just buying the keyboard on its own

I messed up on the enter key lol

[wheat plume]

better have this than a touchpad for gaming

[old marlin]

probably

[wheat plume]

THERE IS NO PRINT SCREEN KEY...

HELP

[timid chasm]

ShareX or hotkeys

[old marlin]

prob a hotkey

also print key

sharex too good

[timid chasm]

so many options with sharex. I dunno what I'd do without it

[ashen spindle]

or just windows snipping tool if you dont need to autohost it and link

[timid chasm]

does snipping copy it to clipboard automatically?

[ashen spindle]

yes

[timid chasm]

good, as it should

[wheat plume]

yes but not if you edit it from the notification but the editor has the copy button on it anyway

[timid chasm]

that seems cumbersome

[ashen spindle]

well yeah if you edit it you need to hit the copy button because it keeps the original snippet

[wheat plume]

I miss my trans flag colorscheme already that I have on my wooting board

this board just has various RGB effects to toggle through but its the default rainbow colors

[pale sigil]

Sounds about right

[wheat plume]

yeh LOL its a cheap ass board

[pale sigil]

Pretty sure edit mode auto copies

[pale sigil]

Why didn't you get an akko

We could have been pink keeb besties

[ashen spindle]

oh edit mode does auto copy huh

[wheat plume]

oooo

[ashen spindle]

never used it but that seemed counterproductive

[wheat plume]

what weight do the akko keys use?

[old marlin]

depends on the switch

or wdym

[wheat plume]

wat switch you use @pale sigil ?

[pale sigil]

Sadly cherry blue

[old marlin]

[wheat plume]

clicky AF?

[old marlin]

rattly af

@wheat plume what switches did yours come with

[wheat plume]

"red switches"

[old marlin]

no name of manufacturer/brand?

[wheat plume]

not saure what brand

[old marlin]

can you pull of a keycap?

[wheat plume]

they are very light and linear though

[old marlin]

and look

ye that is red switches

[wheat plume]

not sure how easy itll be to pull out a keycap

[old marlin]

watch out to not blind yourself

[wheat plume]

they are slightly below the frame

[old marlin]

you got a puller with your wooting

[wheat plume]

ye

[pale sigil]

Ew red

[wheat plume]

yeh I said that

[pale sigil]

What brand

[wheat plume]

idk

thats what it wont tell me

[pale sigil]

What's the keeb

Prob outamu or w.e

[old marlin]

should be written on there

[pale sigil]

A lot of dirt cheap switches don't have it written on

[old marlin]

eh

most of them do

[pale sigil]

Trust me some don't

[old marlin]

ik

but most of them do

prob outemu tho

[wheat plume]

oo

This is handy

spacebar no change color...

[old marlin]

ik why I could only use such a 60% with qmk/via

[pale sigil]

Qmk is nice

[old marlin]

via/vial is nicer

[wheat plume]

[ashen spindle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/galax-geforce-rtx-3090ti-ex-gamer-shows-up-in-a-preorder-ad-for-3840-usd ah what a steal

such a waste of perfectly good components just for show smh

less than a year before next gen all just to have some records for a bit

[wheat plume]

the FN row wont work on this board despite pressing FN

wtf

but the FN keys on other keys work using FN

[shadow minnow]

https://youtu.be/UhHoF924E6o

The title is actually true

[wheat plume]

🤔

[shadow minnow]

Like why would anyone want to pay to have sponsored video about such a bad product. Doubt it’s gonna get them any sales

[shadow minnow]

What context?

[wheat plume]

my new ADX 60% mech board

Linux seems to think its an apple keyboard

is this why the F[1-9] keys dont work when pressing fn?

[shadow minnow]

May be

[young pecan]

Oh fuck yeah. That needs to be watercooled.

[shadow minnow]

I think it’s better to just throw it in the water, won’t be a loss and will save effort.

[pale sigil]

No

Function keys aren't software based

[wheat plume]

thats what I thought too

but it seems not

[pale sigil]

Check the instructions

It's not software based

Period

[reef patrol]

Aside from Mac OS Function keys is something that the keyboard does internally.

[reef patrol]

"Unboxing channel"

Video literally has more review than most of Linus regular videos

[wheat plume]

My laptop also shows the same problems

but it works fine on Windows

[fair gull]

except

apple keyboards have f keys

[wheat plume]

fn + 0 mutes media..wtf

thaty should trigger f10

fn + - triggers volume down
fn + + triggers volme up

they should do f11 and f12

Yep..its mapping to the Apple board

[fair gull]

thats not how keyboards work

[old marlin]

unsure how it works with apple actually

under windows it is not

[wheat plume]

this aint an Apple board though

[fair gull]

apple doesnt send fn to the os

[reef patrol]

Yes they do.

[old marlin]

what OS are you running atm

[fair gull]

wot

[wheat plume]

Arch

[fair gull]

i didnt find any os read out on my macbook

for fn

[reef patrol]

Yes really. It is really fucking weird. But the raw signals are sent to the OS and then it decides.

[old marlin]

afaik linux handles it similar to windows

[reef patrol]

(On official Apple keyboards of course*)

[wheat plume]

seems not

[old marlin]

welp

can't help you with linux myself

[wheat plume]

at least in the browser, ctrl + r can reload

but in Minecraft I cant hit f11 or f3 now damn it

fn + [WASD] control the arrows keys like whats printed on my actual board
so the issue is only with the number keys row

[fair gull]

but that would mean the keyboard lana has also sends fn to os

like apple

[reef patrol]

No? 🙂

[old marlin]

maybe a mac toggle or something

or just has a gronked fn layer

[ashen spindle]

budget keyboard, so budget tech with premium complications

[fair gull]

ngl if windows works as it should and its not an apple keyboard (and you stated yourself apple keyboards do send fn to os) then this means it sends fn to the os aswell

i havent seen a keyboard actually send fn

usually its for internal handling

[crimson wigeon]

well to be sure use something like evtest to see what the system is getting

[reef patrol]

Yes normally - Apple keyboard on MacOS being the exception for some reason.

[fair gull]

so lanas 60percent happens to send fn to os and linux happens to know how to handle it

[old marlin]

no

like 99% sure the keyboard does not send fn

linux should treat it as the context menu button

afaik

if that were the case

it is probably either the fn layer beign shit or it having a mac mode or something

[fair gull]

im just confused that it works as expected on windows

guess linux is just shit

[old marlin]

does it work as expected on windows tho?

[wheat plume]

yes

[ashen spindle]

what if it gets send to the os, windows says "fuck this" sends it back and thats why it works lmao

[old marlin]

[reef patrol]

[old marlin]

yea then idk wtf is up

[wheat plume]

me neither.... and its not an Arch problem, I tried it on my friends Ubuntu install and it also didnt work right but not the number keys did different shit cause Ubuntu thought it was a different type of apple board than what Arch thought

[fair gull]

so

linux shit

thanks for coming to my ted talk

[crimson wigeon]

Or just use evtest to see what it's really doing

[wheat plume]

Maybe I did enable a MacOS mode somehow??

idk

[old marlin]

that would have to be on the OS tho

not the keyboard

[fair gull]

inb4 its supposed to work like an apple keyboard

[old marlin]

lol

[wheat plume]

doubt it, they advertise it like a gaming keyboard

LOL

[fair gull]

mac was made for gaming

like halo ce and shit

[old marlin]

obv

[crimson wigeon]

But more likely it's a crappy quirky device that does nonsensical HID stuff. Linux is a bit more strict about it than Windows

[misty saffron]

incorrect

some keyboards have a mac mode

[wheat plume]

is there a way to see the USB device ID on Windows?

[misty saffron]

where windows key and alt would swap places

[old marlin]

download usbtreeview

shows you everything you could want

[old marlin]

ah

true

[misty saffron]

and the fn and f layer too

[wheat plume]

how do I print screen LOL

I dont see the symbol anywhere on the board

[misty saffron]

windows alt s

[crimson wigeon]

shift not alt

[wheat plume]

software is basic af but tbf thats all this board can do

[misty saffron]

oh well

i just muscle memory it

[ashen spindle]

remap the layout so it's wherever you want it to be

[pale sigil]

Imagine using software for a keyboard

[old marlin]

gl doing that

[ashen spindle]

?

[old marlin]

remapping

on a random cheap mech

[ashen spindle]

just use w/e the microsoft tool was called to change your keyboard layout

so they kb stays and windows just sees it as print screen

[wheat plume]

I want to get my function keys working on Linux man

[old marlin]

ah

ig that works

[wheat plume]

It thinks I have an apple board and applies those to it instead

[pale sigil]

Weird ngl

[ashen spindle]

im sure the linux world has a layout changer if even windows has it for years

[pale sigil]

Don't have that issue on my distro

[ashen spindle]

well do you have an equally budget keyboard?

[wheat plume]

show me the output of lsusb

[fair gull]

inb4 same kbd

[misty saffron]

problem exists between operating system and operating system

try using windows

[wheat plume]

I am rn

and it works fine

[misty saffron]

great

keep it that way

[wheat plume]

LOL no

[fair gull]

then learn to use apple layout

[wheat plume]

no, I cant type f[1-10] AT ALL

[misty saffron]

or run 100 terminal commands from some dodgy website

[fair gull]

u chose to use linux

not us

[wheat plume]

cause it replaces them with the stuff the Apple board does instead

[ashen spindle]

wonder if WSL would see it correctly or as apple keyboard hmm

[wheat plume]

o lemme see

[misty saffron]

input still goes through windows

[pale sigil]

I'm downstairs atm

[wheat plume]

no output

[ashen spindle]

how about you just press the keys and see if they do what they should do and find it out that way lol

[fair gull]

i mean its still just a vm

[wheat plume]

fn + 5 does this

[ashen spindle]

ok and idk what your keyboard is so does it do the right or wrong thing

lol

[wheat plume]

idk how to test if f5 works on terminal ok

usually I open a browser and see if the page reloads

[fair gull]

open htop

use f buttona

success

u tested ur f keys

[wheat plume]

oo, one sec

yep, that worked

f10 quit

in WSL.....damn it

[fair gull]

which gets usb signals from windows

not directly the kbd

[ashen spindle]

well time to ditch dual boot and stay on windows then

[wheat plume]

nah, I prefer linux for Minecraft and playing music cause it sounds better

[fair gull]

use wsl for those

fixed

next

[wheat plume]

for Minecraft?

LOL WUT

[fair gull]

yes?

[wheat plume]

?

[ashen spindle]

if it sounds better than you have the other option set up wrong lol

[wheat plume]

Minecraft isnt as CLI app

[wheat plume]

Windows sounded better until I swapped over to using Pipewire on Linux

Then Linux sounds better than Windows now

[ashen spindle]

then fix whatever setting is missing on windows, audio codecs are standards for a reason

[wheat plume]

it sounds fine on Windows

just not as detailed

[ashen spindle]

then make it as detailed if that's all the reason lol

[wheat plume]

idk how

[ashen spindle]

also uh, you are aware WSL is not limited to cli? you can run linux desktops in it

[wheat plume]

🤔

wut

o.o

[ashen spindle]

what you think we always tell you to use wsl instead of dual booting if that means you could only use cli?

[wheat plume]

Yes

I dont use CLI on Linux very often

Well, Ive used it a lot more since making a server

[ashen spindle]

WSL is basically just a fancy VM so obviously it can do more than host a server image

[wheat plume]

Ah

Its going to take me a while to get used to WASD being my new arrow keys

LOL

[fair gull]

with wsl2 ud get full gpu access aswell for mining

[wheat plume]

fn + [wasd]

those work fine in Linux too

as well as the shortcuts to change keyboard brightness and things

just not the DAMN NUMBER ROW ;-;

[ashen spindle]

should've checked if it's linux compatible I guess

[wheat plume]

Didnt except it not to since I thought that function layers were hardware based

but clearly not if the OS can change the mapping

[crimson wigeon]

or just frigging check what evtest shows it as to be sure

[wheat plume]

evtest on Linux?

[crimson wigeon]

Yes...

[wheat plume]

ok, lemme reboot

[fair gull]

ngh not being taken seriously

[wheat plume]

Wut

I'm going to try that now

[fair gull]

this

[wheat plume]

now it says its SONiX...dafuq

[crimson wigeon]

omegalul

[wheat plume]

but lsusb says apple still

ejectcd??

dafuq

[crimson wigeon]

Yes now just press keys and see what shows up...

[wheat plume]

this shows when I type fn + 5

Which should give F5

[crimson wigeon]

Yes so it's sending complete nonsense

[wheat plume]

cause F5 doesnt do anything on the Apple board it thinks this is

[ashen spindle]

time to buy a macbook so your kb works as you want

[wheat plume]

its outputting these instead of F[1-12]

Maybe I should return this and get a more expensive 60%

Next question ... how do I type a backtick on this

[old marlin]

uhhh

press the button for it

[wheat plume]

there is none

I have this though but its not the same '

[old marlin]

would normally be fn+esc

[wheat plume]

"rmmod atkbd ; rmmod serio_raw ; rmmod i8042 ; rmmod psmouse ; rmmod serio ; modprobe serio_raw ; modprobe serio ; modprobe psmouse ; modprobe i8042; modprobe atkbd reset=1"

Would this work, maybe? It resets all the peripherals on Linux

https://ahungry.com/blog/2021-10-01-Sixty-percent-keyboard.html

ooo full on guide for 60% here

[ashen spindle]

wouldn't be linux if there wasn't the need to have a guide for using a keyboard

[wheat plume]

LOL there are people who are very VERY VERY picky with how their shit works

This person is most certainly one of them

dafuq this do

[crimson wigeon]

Use sensible scroll direction for touchpad (phone-like)

[wheat plume]

natural scrolling?

many

what way you mean though?

[fair gull]

lets hope it doesnt break

[wheat plume]

dafuq?

[reef tundra]

Pour a little water over it

[young pecan]

Fuck yeah. Tech gore.

[wheat plume]

yeah water cool it

[reef tundra]

"water cooled"

[fair gull]

well techgore is what msi does

cant crossflash different vendor bios even if the content is the same

this bios is from 2017 the vendor doesnt release any new ones and thus its super broken

[ashen spindle]

her budget 60% keyboard works on windows but linux thinks its an apple keyboard so FN/F keys are borked

[wheat plume]

^

[ashen spindle]

works on WSL though so time to ditch dual booting

[wheat plume]

only the number row of FN keys ;-;

[young pecan]

Buy a Wooting60.

Oh wait.

[wheat plume]

I could tbf, but those switches are heavier than my Wooting Two switches

[reef tundra]

Fn does not exist

[wheat plume]

and im still not used to how heavy those are

[fair gull]

wot

heavy

[young pecan]

Wait what?

60HE switches heavier than Two switches?

[ashen spindle]

they aren't really heavier, rather the same and also with variable actuation that doesnt even matter

[wheat plume]

Flaretech are 55g right?

[young pecan]

Felt a LOT higher than that.

[ashen spindle]

if they are too heavy so you dont bottom out just dont set the actuation at 4mm

[young pecan]

Maybe just me, but the flaretechs in my WTwo feel like 70g or so.

[wheat plume]

I think they are 55g

but yeah, they heavy for me

but they feel really good for gaming on

[ashen spindle]

but why does that matter, if you dont bottom them out it still works

[wheat plume]

I cant type on it accurately

[wheat plume]

I do though :/

[ashen spindle]

how are they too heavy then lol

[young pecan]

Do 200g switches.

[wheat plume]

lol no

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[wheat plume]

:')

[ashen spindle]

if they are lighter you would still bottom them out and just press harder on the board lol

[young pecan]

[wheat plume]

yeah but then I wont be missing key strokes

I sometimes miss some keys cause I thought I pressed them but didnt have enough force

[ashen spindle]

how are you missing keystroke if you bottom out

[wheat plume]

not always

[ashen spindle]

then set your actuation higher so you always hit them

[wheat plume]

I have

[ashen spindle]

so you press them even less than the minimum of the flaretechs actuation?

then set it to 0.5 on the HE switches or something and you wont miss anymore

[wheat plume]

they are lighter and a lot less loud, good so far
but I notice the keyboard is not as fast in games as my Wooting

so its throwing me off a little

what part?

[reef tundra]

Everything

[wheat plume]

idk what brand they are

just "red switches" and them being lighter

not sure

they lighter though just from feel

[ashen spindle]

just take a key out and press them against each other

[wheat plume]

🤔

[neat oriole]

Cherry red is 60g bottom

[wheat plume]

they arent heavier than my wooting, I can tell that just from typing

[neat oriole]

Also I thought the Lekker switch is 65g bottom?

[ashen spindle]

pretty sure 65 was the huano switch

[neat oriole]

Yeah it says 60 on the website

But yeah both Lekker and cherry reds are the same weight

Although spring length can change the top end weighting

Yeah idk the terminology

But the force needed to start the depressing

[wheat plume]

its so nice having a helluva lot more mouse room

[old marlin]

ye lekker is slower

[wheat plume]

slower?

[old marlin]

so the reds might feel lighter due to that

[old marlin]

higher initial forced required

[wheat plume]

oooh

[old marlin]

I personally prefer it

I use 55g slow springs on my main board

[neat oriole]

Idk

I prefer long bois personally

[old marlin]

don't ask me

afaik you can blame the koreans

[neat oriole]

God damn Koreans they ruined springs

Oh the humanity

[cursive summit]

Only thing truly exciting about PCIe 5 is more eGPU power

Now a single lane of PCIe 5 is the same as 4 lanes of PCIe 3

[wheat plume]

idk how to use this...

[reef tundra]

Maybe read the manual

[wheat plume]

There isnt any

fn + 5 to F5 and so on

ooo I shall look

Other than needing to get used to using WASD as arrow keys, I really like this form factor

Wut

Idk

O.o
Uh

If there was idk how to access it

Doubt it

I think im ok with WASD arrows, other boards ive seen use hjkl like VIM uses

and id not like that, at least with WASD, the layout is the same as arrow keys

ahh ok

ive never once used the context key except the first time I saw it on a board and didnt know what it was

HYNU???

Oo....

Lemme check out colemac layout hang on xf

Hmmmm

Ok

Bottow rom is mostly same

Ahhh ok

LOL

WASD = WARS in colemak

That's amazing for fps games xd

Hey Tony you know you can print directly on the bed

[spring narwhal]

any way to return a keyboard on preorder

I emailed the team this week but no response.

[ashen spindle]

yes wait for them to reply, they will get to it

[crisp granite]

check out Neo

it's...

actually quite good

optimised for german...it's actually pretty noice for english, even if you never use umlauts because they're reasonably out of the way

[ashen spindle]

or workman as a better colemak

im debating about trying to switch to workman maybe

https://workmanlayout.org/

[fair gull]

i know it still doesnt stick

[empty wren]

Raise the temperature

Sticks for me

I raised it 5-8 higher than max filament bed temp

Also make sure to wipe the glass

It has some residue from the factory apart

[timid chasm]

I got mine from bykski

oh not an aio

[reef patrol]

God - Damn that block is ugly 😄

[old marlin]

yup

giant ass pump on it

[misty saffron]

never heard of ass pumps

[crimson wigeon]

Now you have

[timid chasm]

hear of a penis pump haven't ya? It's kinda like that

[pale sigil]

Ngl I read that differently

[wheat plume]

....... why does this article exist?

Actually nvm
It'd probably the first time some Xbox owners have ever used a CD before

If they are younger especially

[old marlin]

probably in the case of a dead console

usually devices with drives have a small hole you can poke in

to get your disk out

now gl finding out where that is without googling

[wheat plume]

I've seen a YouTube video of that

It's on the base iirc

[misty saffron]

that’s what being british does to you

[old marlin]

someone here got a clue on how to use fotoforensics?

need to find out if a guy actually has a CPU or not

[misty saffron]

what

[old marlin]

guy sent me a timestamp

and I am unsure if it is legit

[timid chasm]

ohhh GN has a steam deck and we can expect a video soon, nice

[shadow minnow]

No but still send it here just in case someone randomly notices sth that seems obviously wrong which may happen

[old marlin]

idk

[shadow minnow]

Hmm ngl this image doesn’t reveal a lot

[old marlin]

exactly

[shadow minnow]

If you really unsure can ask him to take video but he may get annoyed

[old marlin]

I mean I asked like 6 guys

[shadow minnow]

But it’s sucks since without seeing background how to tell if lighting is legit or not

All we know is that on the list there is light behind him on ceiling little bit to the left possibly

But can’t tell you much about the pc part

But I don’t see anything too obvious about it not being legit

Though there are parts which with further context could be sus but this image really lacks enough background

Unless he claims his screen is non lcd

[pale sigil]

Hwinfo

[old marlin]

wat

[pale sigil]

Get them to show that

[shadow minnow]

I mean sure that’s one way

But question is if it wouldn’t annoy them

But yeah from that image not much photo foresnics can be done

Would really need another picture

[old marlin]

don't really care about that

tbh

[shadow minnow]

With hwinfo and preferably more background.
Imo can be just background this time, just want to check if light angle matches

[pale sigil]

Also check meta data

Scan for photoshop changes

[shadow minnow]

Well then all I would do would be ask for picture with hw info. And without the paper with name this time so more background could be seen.
Preferably around evening so he has to use light again so angle can be checked

[shadow minnow]

^

[pale sigil]

I did photo Forensics in uni

Especially for text based stuff

[shadow minnow]

Sounds cool ngl

[pale sigil]

It was fun but also cold

And cruel

Sad

[shadow minnow]

Also would check for time and maybe time zone image was taken if it makes sense

Can be done even with basic photos app

[shadow minnow]

Oh yeah there are definitely darker parts to it that don’t sound good.
But just speaking about stuff like this or like statement analysis sounds cool. Issue is the other connected things.

[old marlin]

it is german

so right time zone

[shadow minnow]

Does the date it was taken match

Also what time was it?

[old marlin]

date matches

[ashen spindle]

buy it in person or if not just use chargeback if it's a scam

[old marlin]

it is of today

no time in it

[old marlin]

is on the swiss border

I could do a chargeback

but don't feel like waiting ages

[ashen spindle]

well looking if its real is taking longer than buying it and doing a chargeback if needed

[shadow minnow]

Hmm well I can see date for almost all photos but issue is that if I download from discord it’s created like new instance.
Since I am wondering if the time it was taken he had any reason to use light in his room, since if it was already sunny would be strange

[shadow minnow]

True

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/T6IuzQehsrA I like this thing

HEK YE

[shadow minnow]

What?

[wheat plume]

No windows logo!!

[shadow minnow]

Hmm I mean true but super is too long, could have relaxed it with sth else like their logo or sth

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I find it funny that Apple put their logo on EVERYTHING, even the batteries in the phones you arent meant to open up
but they dont put their logo on their keyboards

but Microsoft do...

[shadow minnow]

Even wooting does but it doesn’t look bad on the kb

[wheat plume]

it makes sense for keyboard brand logo to be on this key

Instead of the OS logo that you may or may not be using

[ashen spindle]

it made sense for the longest time and now people are used to it so it makes little sense to replace it for the 1% share where it's not the right one

[wheat plume]

People use non-apple keyboards on macOS too

[ashen spindle]

ok sorry, 5%

[wheat plume]

Yeah LOL

[ashen spindle]

same result

especially if the people who would be confused by it are not the linux users

[wheat plume]

I guess

[shadow minnow]

True tbh

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/VoH1DKidj8g

[shadow minnow]

Hmm well idk point of the video
But ngl find kinda dumb how some people want apple to cancel AirTags

[wheat plume]

Yeh, its not Apple's fault

[shadow minnow]

Considering there are similar devices that won’t tell you you are being tracked

[wheat plume]

YEP

[shadow minnow]

And there is also now app for Android that tells you the same

Which ngl would be cool if apple cooperated with Google this time to make it inbuilt so people are more safe

But still at least way safer than if you were tracked by other similar thing

[fair gull]

the point is there was no warnings for a very long time

and theres still no way for non iphones users to have it by default

aka most of the eu

[shadow minnow]

Which is sth Google and apple have to cooperate on. And hope they will.

[shadow minnow]

I mean true they should have released the app earlier.
But still it’s not like normal trackers with no warnings at all

[shadow minnow]

Hmm the October increase is interesting

[fair gull]

wasnt that new iphone and ios finally bringing an android like homescreen

with moveable apps and not all apps visible at all times

[shadow minnow]

Wasn’t that year before already?

Not sure tbh

[fair gull]

idk i dont use iphones and dont plan to use one

[shadow minnow]

Fair. I use it but don’t really use that feature tbh.

[misty saffron]

people finally finding out about the superior option

that’s nice to see

[fair gull]

iphones arent tho

[shadow minnow]

It all subjective and depends form person to person

To be fair way too many people buy iPhones just to be cool

Though some actually do the same with androids it’s interesting how it differs but I don’t think it’s as common

[wheat plume]

In America, you literally get bullied for having an Android

[shadow minnow]

I had hard time defending me having iPhone instead xD

[misty saffron]

god i love shitposting like that

always gets multiple people going

[shadow minnow]

Since you have people who want iPhones to be cool
And then people who hate them and want androids and think iPhones are completely horrible

[young pecan]

Guy, don't pretend PCs aren't vulnerable to a terrifying amount of user free exploits.

[misty saffron]

not sure how sideloading is related

but sure

[young pecan]

Not directly related, but having a more open ecosystem always gives you some vulnerability.

Can't really defend against yourself to that kind of degree.

[misty saffron]

just like all other components of an operating system

each and every one

[young pecan]

Yep.

[reef tundra]

Just unplug your router then

[misty saffron]

doesn’t mean features should not be added because there will be bugs in new code

[shadow minnow]

Not really

[young pecan]

As far as third party appstores go? They're good, but if you aren't vetting anything then it adds vulnerability.

All I care for is the platform isn't introducing garbage.

[misty saffron]

you use a reputable third party app store

[young pecan]

Sure, I am going to.

But only an idiot thinks purely in terms of I.

[shadow minnow]

And also you may not always have a choice tbf

[misty saffron]

idk, my grandma has been fine with her android phone

there is a checkbox that enables sideloading

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-opinion-gif-24099927

[misty saffron]

put one in ios behind 10 screens and done

[young pecan]

And that's really awesome. Good on her and good on you.

But the problem here is that 2 people do not a good sample size make.

All I care about is that people running third party stores aren't introducing garbage.

Just like...

Take Steam Greenlight as an example.

[misty saffron]

genuinely don’t see your point

we’ve talked about just using a reputable one

[young pecan]

More people doing stupid things is more opportunity for vulnerabilities as value to find them increases.

[misty saffron]

it’s reputable for a reason

[reef tundra]

Any piece of software has vulnerabilities

[young pecan]

And if the value is more people expose themselves like idiots then you have a good motivation.

It's one of the biggest reasons Windows has more malware than all other major OSes combined.

More opportunity there, easier targets.

[misty saffron]

not sure why go through all these hoops instead of finding another rce in webkit

[young pecan]

Somebody always will, but I'd rather not tempt them.

More, at least.

[reef tundra]

What is this for paranoid rambling

[misty saffron]

tinfoil hats on

[young pecan]

Hence police what you do better. Namely don't allow garbage nonsense on your platform, be it Apple or a third party store.

[shadow minnow]

All I can say is that most people who want it don’t actually and wouldn’t use apple products nontheless. Not what average customer wants/cares about

This entire surface area, started with very low tolerance do everything clicked and then cutout 0.25mm-0.5mm from then. The blue outlined section keeps me be grief as it looks like cleared it but something keeps refusing to sit cannot figure out what exactly.

[old marlin]

if you can even find one

[ashen spindle]

well has to be launched first for that to happen

[old marlin]

I doubt it will ever get beyond a paper launch

[ashen spindle]

sure but even that has yet to happen lol

[old marlin]

is there a good reason why neither CPU or GPU should not be going at 100% in a modern title like borderlands 3 with an uncapped framerate

also obv none of the CPU cores is at 100% according to taskmanager

[ashen spindle]

yes because the useage readouts are not fully accurate

[old marlin]

like

my GPU is at 60%

and my cpu is at 50-60%

for each core

is the 2700X such a bottleneck for a 3080ti

[ashen spindle]

idk for one the game is just not well optimized

[old marlin]

ye

have had a similar scenario in vermintide 2

which got me a bit worried

guess I have to dl another game

[ashen spindle]

then add that 50% cpu usage could mean it's cpu bottlenecked because the available resources are just not used by the game so cant go higher

[old marlin]

but modern titles are all stupid large

[ashen spindle]

also what resolution

[old marlin]

1440p

[ashen spindle]

should mostly be just the mediocre optimization then

[old marlin]

uhhhh

doom 2016 should do?

as a benchmark

ig

should at least get a lot higher fps overall

[thick elk]

Remember if the game does not manage to evenly load all 8 cores, it will show as lower utilization.
So a game bottlenecked by a few threads may show this.

Vermintide 2 at least is not the best scaling game with cores

[old marlin]

ye obv

I did not look at overall CPU load

but individual core load

I also confirmed that my 3080ti can ramp up in workloads like blender etc

[ashen spindle]

if your cpu can do 4-wide instructions but the entire task is using 2 wide instructions it most likely would show up as just below 50% usage, to keep it super simple

[old marlin]

yeye obv

[fickle ore]

@old marlin 50% means you're 100%

[old marlin]

?

what

[fickle ore]

check ur cpu usage with smt off, it's prob 100% on core0, if not, you're gpu bound

[old marlin]

neither reached 90% in superposition 1080p medium

I can try with SMT off

ig

[reef tundra]

Ig

[ashen spindle]

yes SMT has some overhead

never really looked at how much in terms of shown usage

[reef tundra]

cringe

[old marlin]

question is how do I resolve it

should I just upgrade CPU

[ashen spindle]

well what is your goal, more fps?

[old marlin]

yea

my GPU is massively underused atm

when I know it could pump out a lot more frames at high fidelity settings

[ashen spindle]

well you could crank up graphics settings, use downsampling from 4k for example

[old marlin]

[ashen spindle]

since it's just free quality if you are cpu bound mostly

[reef tundra]

[old marlin]

well I already try to run most stuff at 1440p maxed settings

and my GPU is bored

[ashen spindle]

ya hence the downsampling

[old marlin]

so I just have a massive CPU bottleneck?

[ashen spindle]

I guess

whats your ram looking like

[old marlin]

3200mhz

cl uhhh

lemme check

CL16

[ashen spindle]

see if you can crank it up to 3800 might do a bit

[old marlin]

https://www.versandkoennig.de/shopware.php?sViewport=detail&sArticle=53978

this exact kit

[old marlin]

doubt that will work with a 2700x

[ashen spindle]

oh 4 stick not 2 rip

yea never mind

lol

[old marlin]

2700x crosshair VII

not much ram OC goin on

even if I bought a faster kit I could likely not run it much faster

also scuffed shop cause it was discounted heavily when I bouhgt it

[ashen spindle]

what are the fps you were getting in bl3?

[old marlin]

wait lemme check again

didn't play it, just used the benchmark

average of 84 fps

on ultra - motion blur 1440p

reset the min/max/average right before the benchmark

GPU was not utilized super much

the 99% were hit in the menu

[ashen spindle]

ya that does kind add up to benchmarks, so it is a bit of a cpu bottleneck

though idk if it's worth going for an upgrade with new cpus coming this year

guess you could just resell since an upgrade would mean you can keep your board and ram

[old marlin]

ye

well

would not go all out

same with the ram

5600X should prob do fine for now

prob even a multicore upgrade

since I owuld only loose out on 2 cores/4 threads

but much higher per core performance

[ashen spindle]

I mean could stick with the ram unless you want greater capacity
