[fair gull]

need change

[ashen spindle]

alright so go on based off of that point then and not go 180 degrees and go fully against it, because others dont properly understand it

[fair gull]

you just need to educate people on why smth is bad or unoptimal

otherwise they dont understand why its bad

i can wine about my store situation to as many people as i want

shit wont change

curisously

explaining it

some people change their mind

and do pay the sometimes 20% markup i have over online retailers

[ashen spindle]

ok so why instead of going that way did you go full on the other side and said that it's unfair to complain about the cut after agreeing to it xD

[fair gull]

because you jsut cry instead of actually reason

its unfair to play the hurt child and point fingers

[ashen spindle]

feel like we're just going in a circle, if the way it's done is not right but the premise has merits, why go fully against it just because it's presented badly

[fair gull]

because its presented badly

[ashen spindle]

so something good that's presented badly should just be thrown out instead of fixing the presentation

[fair gull]

no what im saying is

fix the damn fucking presentation

most of what i have seen is pure crying and pointing fingers

and if you agreed to whatever cut

you should be smart enough to not just cry and point fingers

so those people can just fuck right off

either present it so people understand why shit has to change

or dont

heck hire someone to explain it for all i care

heck this whole crying instead of properly explaining isnt even just a market issue

[ashen spindle]

then it's hard to tell what you actually meant from what you said for me at least ¯_(ツ)_/¯

because it did not sound at all like you had issues with the presentation and not the product

[fair gull]

oh i dont mind indie games or anything

just the devs seem sometimes a bit brain dead

the simplest comparison i can think of is

you cant just really go around and say "apple is bad" or "apple is good" cause it doesnt build the understand of the rather complex topic in people

people should explain why they think its good or bad

but most just

handle it in the dumbest way

[ashen spindle]

yeah I agree, epic at fault it too because they dont explain why their model is good for consumers in the end

but ironically I also did not get what you meant from your first replies 😛

[fair gull]

thats why i kept explaining

i could have just vanished tbf

smh not even buying on dl-site

and sorry for the rant but im super fed up with these kinda shallow things like crying and pointing fingers....

maybe even a bit of existential dread

[ashen spindle]

not even using the original jp version that only works if you install the jp language pack

[fair gull]

if thats the word for it

[ashen spindle]

oh idm lengthier topics from time to time

ya I think that's fitting

[wheat plume]

Hmm, fairly sure a Steam Deck is more powerful than a 2014 laptop....?

yes

but they are asking if itll be faster

[shadow minnow]

Yeah ngl.
And especially would be the case for new macs. Where the display is a bit slower but apart from that destroys almost anything else.

[misty saffron]

not sure why you have to mention it

when macs have the best displays of 99% of laptops

[wheat plume]

you forgot you can plug the Deck into a monitor?

[misty saffron]

referring to bexin’s post

[wheat plume]

You can get the best damn monitor possible and plug the Deck into it

[misty saffron]

i was about to say tweet

said post

still wrong

epic

[ashen spindle]

if the plan is to plug it into a monitor, a deck wont make much sense in the first place

why power limit your hardware if you want to use it stationary

[fair gull]

also if you get the best damn monitor u might aswell buy a fully decked out macbook pro m1/m2 and be better off probably

[misty saffron]

i did switch from my laptop to tablet

obviously still using my desktop

pc

oh i’ve seen people who took pictures and shit on their tablet

that was funny

[empty wren]

@reef tundra any chance the first layer should not have any visible layers?

[empty wren]

Another note I may have exposed petg to liquid a bit, guessing that is why the first layer looked translucent.

[shadow minnow]

Well idk what this exactly about but at least some types of petg don’t think should have issues with liquid since they tend to be used for watercooling

[pale sigil]

my system carries on being cursed

it seems

bleh steam was updating a game

[true quest]

took me three point five hours to download that game

[ashen spindle]

Usually it’s not steam but the dev that handles compression iirc

[crimson wigeon]

Steam has been compressing (and making delta patches) for yonks

[ashen spindle]

But I think that is just from steam sdk having that as the default option right? Been a while since I looked into it tbf

[true quest]

yeah

no

[reef tundra]

Use a gigabit fiber optic

Thank microsoft for that

[true quest]

i know, that one took me the aforementioned amount of time

[reef tundra]

Are you talking about dick?

👀

[true quest]

i get fifteen megabits dl on a good day

make of that what you will

[reef tundra]

I get 35MB/s on the average day

[true quest]

also reminds me of installing MFSX from a CD, which would take an entire day

[reef tundra]

100% of the advertised speed

[true quest]

speaking of sims, time to try x plane vr

because MFS vr was a let down

mine asked for one hundred ten GB

i refunded it

but remember it clearly

because there is no way i cleared nearly two hundred GBs of space for the game

last time i had that much free space in my pc, it was new

you try explaining to support?

steam logged five hours in the game, three of which were downloading

granted five is not close to thirty, but they should expect that

i never got past the second tutorial lol

doesn't play well with vr, so might try again when i get some real equipment

or become a pilot

[reef tundra]

Drone pilot 😏

[shadow minnow]

Ryanair would definitely need some atm

[reef tundra]

So you can wipe some dirt huts of the face off the earth.

[shadow minnow]

Stuck on this airport for five and a half hours

Already was in plane once

Went through gate twice

Now back to waiting

Endless

[true quest]

should probably start soon too

[true quest]

my goal is to fly astronauts to mars

but i'll settle for the local pilot tour guide

[reef tundra]

You cant

[shadow minnow]

My goal is to leave this airport

[reef tundra]

Yell "Bomb" and "god is great" and it will clear real quick

[crisp granite]

...

[reef tundra]

[crisp granite]

fuck no

[true quest]

i am become immortal until it's a reality

[crisp granite]

tell ya what
Bexin

duty free shop

get a nice bottle of brandy

enjoy

[shadow minnow]

I preferably wanna leave in a plane. Since I am in the wrong airport atm

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/for-free-adam-sandler-gif-16105496

[shadow minnow]

Can’t yet, Ryanair still didn’t send me vouchers

And it’s closing in like 8 minutes

Smh Ryanair they were supposed to long ago

[true quest]

hybrid models do fascinate me

[reef tundra]

Dont fly with ryanair then

it sucks

the chairs are tiny

my knees are crying already

[shadow minnow]

At least it’s cheap

[reef tundra]

This is germaphobic

[shadow minnow]

Also the flight is not that long

All I really want atm is vouchers

To get food

Bet they will send them minute before plane finally goes

[reef tundra]

The germanic people are getting discriminated by ryanair

[shadow minnow]

Tbf the board says more info soon for like 3 hours already

[reef tundra]

Ryanair??

first class?

[shadow minnow]

I am not in the airplane atm

Back on airport

They are supposed to based on laws send us food vouchers

But

They didn’t so far

They don’t have that here either

Not a big airport

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/liar-liar-jim-carrey-objection-your-honor-devastating-gif-14626844

[shadow minnow]

I just want vouchers for food

Over 3 hours of delay = me supposed to get compensated

[reef tundra]

Go and complain to them then

activate your inner karen

[shadow minnow]

Didn’t help

[reef tundra]

Threaten with legal action

[shadow minnow]

Over 5 hours for me

[shadow minnow]

Welll there are no Ryanair employees to be found, can only complain to airport staff

[reef tundra]

Begin noting their names

Dont elaborate why

It makes people real paranoid for some reason

[shadow minnow]

Well after first 3 hours I was on plane. But then after 30 more minutes… had to go of since pilots ran out of time they can fly

[reef patrol]

Bitch please you can sit there for a day.

[crisp granite]

^^

as long as the liquor keeps flowing,, and food if that much time has really passed, gratis, of course
I'd be chill with delays

I generally travel a day earlier than I need to in case of delays...and being completely wasted

means my only real tasks beyond travel are:
get to hotel
check in
drop off luggage in room
get some food
more alcohol consumption
get back to hotel
standard self care stuff
bed

Locke

you american

lmao

we're talking about British, because...that's where this is happening

in

Britain

dropped the great because it really isn't

[halcyon moss]

hawaiian

[crisp granite]

that last photo makes me cringe every time

[reef patrol]

So uh... at what point will V realize this was at the GATE, not on the PLANE.

three hours at gate, then after THIRTY MINUTES - ON - PLANE

📘 🐸

[shadow minnow]

Hmm may be 520£

Nope, I was on plane for like hour, back in airport

[astral haven]

Intel is gonna have to lean hard into the acceleration capabilities
Cause the raw CPU power ain't there

[young pecan]

Why TF is Sapphire Rapids dual channel?

It’s enterprise.

[astral haven]

there are 4 tiles

2x 4 is ?

[young pecan]

No but why did they not design for quad channel?

It's beneficial to the platform, no?

[astral haven]

16 channel cpus are horrific to design for

[young pecan]

Ah so it's just design difficulty.

Cringe.

[astral haven]

not cpu side

system side

[young pecan]

Yee

Ngl I'd have thought quad channel would be a standard design for server usage.

[astral haven]

?

the cpu is octo channel

[young pecan]

Which is awesome, but doesn't sapphire rapids have some lower core count options?

Idk, octo channel is dope, but part of me expected quad.

Then again AMD.

[astral haven]

quad is dead

[young pecan]

Intel hasn't exactly been the image of smart design choices recently, y'know?

[astral haven]

intel makes money making decisions

sure usually its very shortsighted

[young pecan]

Touché.

[astral haven]

but they make money

and noone is buying quad any more

edge is dual chanel, scalar is 8 channel

I can see them doing a 4 core 4 channel cpu for the license limited software that exists

but i can just as easily see them doing a 4 core 8 channel cpu

[young pecan]

Honestly before more channels I'd love to see more PCI-E lanes.

Compete with Threadripper, ffs.

[astral haven]

thats on mobo vendors

pcie 5 is fast enough that you just need to throw a switch in there and you have as many channels as you want

[young pecan]

I'd kill somebody to have desktops with 64 PCI-E lanes. :C

Actually able to have big RAID arrays.

More NVMe SSDs.

[true quest]

i volunteer

[young pecan]

If it's not 50GB/s it's not fast enough for the Battlefield 4 Heli rush.

[true quest]

need me a PCI-E per RAM GB

[astral haven]

50GB/s is x16 5.0

[young pecan]

Yee, but no drives actually do that yet.

Need to run RAID0.

[astral haven]

yes
but the point is thats a single slot now

[stuck jay]

Does anyone know if there exist force sensors to detect pressure at the bottom of the keypress? Would love to add such sensors to Lekker switches to make a MIDI keyboard.

[young pecan]

You could probably do some jank as hell engineering and make it work, but no, nothing like that will be outright supported, methinks.

Truly jank tier engineering is probably your only method if I had to guess.

[stuck jay]

thats fair. thanks for your help! For an nkro 16x16 array of 1u keys (ideally hotswappable lekkers with individual smd leds), would you recommend hand soldering or ordering/designing my own pcb? for context, this would be my first ever project of this kind given that I started research yesterday, lol. I'll definitely prototype solder smaller first, but wondering how hard it'll get.

[cursive summit]

Water is wet https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-680m-rdna-igpu-outperforms-geforce-mx450-discrete-graphics

Radeon 600 branding though reminds me of I think it was the RX 590 concept photos, where it was regarded as RX 680 or something

[shadow minnow]

Ngl I am impressed by how unimpressive arctis 9X sound manages to be compared to AirPods

[cursive summit]

https://www.techspot.com/news/93478-intel-arc-alchemist-flagship-clocks-24-ghz-leaked.html

[cursive summit]

Cause they are shit

If you ever were present in any kind of conversation where Steelseries was mentioned, you would know that literally nobody vouches for them being good

[shadow minnow]

Thing is I surprisingly heard some people liking their headsets

Me not being one of them

[cursive summit]

For gamers, they sound good

[shadow minnow]

Depends

[cursive summit]

For audiophiles or people in general that have alright audio equipment

They are low end garbo

[shadow minnow]

Even sound stage and like surround audio in general in games they sounded bad

Wish there were more alternatives but Microsoft doesn’t allow you to use any headphones wirelessly with Xbox. Or by usb

[cursive summit]

Astros?

[shadow minnow]

Tbf one thing cool about them is connecting 3 devices at once but that’s where it ends

[cursive summit]

Sennheiser gaming ones?

[wheat plume]

Same with PS5

[cursive summit]

Like headsets is an issue, personally I play with my AKG's plugged into my Xbox controller

[shadow minnow]

Ngl they are too gamer like
But at the time I was buying them there was only one alternative that sucked

But yeah wouldn’t buy again

[shadow minnow]

o.o really?

That sucks

[cursive summit]

How come they don't allow you to use wireless headphones

[shadow minnow]

I mean more headsets support this nowadays but still a nice feature

[wheat plume]

The only console that allows it is the Switch

[cursive summit]

If they sell them as official accessories on their website

[wheat plume]

and thats only when the joycons are attached

[cursive summit]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/headsets/xbox-wireless-headset

[shadow minnow]

Hmm I thought ps4 worked with Bluetooth headphones

[shadow minnow]

It’s not Bluetooth

It’s Xbox proprietary thing

Same used for controller

You can connect them to pc only using Xbox wireless adapter too

[cursive summit]

That is wrong, it appears

[shadow minnow]

They may also have Bluetooth

But in general it uses not different standard

Oh

Basically

[wheat plume]

I can connect my Xbox One controller to my computer without the adapter
My 360 controller DOES need a wireless reciever which I have

[shadow minnow]

Thing is new version of Xbox wireless standard has both Bluetooth and proprietary

So new accessories work with both Bluetooth and Xbox

But Xbox itself doesn’t support Bluetooth

[cursive summit]

Which Xbox

Series or One?

[shadow minnow]

Just newer controllers headsets and stuff allow you to use Bluetooth with other stuff

[shadow minnow]

Idk about series but know it’s the case for ones

[cursive summit]

Cause I'm getting mixed results

Xbox is saying you can't, but other sites are saying you can

But that's for One

Series I'm pretty sure supports bluetooth

[shadow minnow]

Nope

If you read further

[wheat plume]

You may need to buy a wireless receiver

[shadow minnow]

The quotes say it has to support Xbox wireless

[shadow minnow]

Don’t think even usb audio works

[wheat plume]

o

[shadow minnow]

Both mention Xbox wireless. Or well second and third articles, while first say it’s not easy or cheap, which means not just regular Bluetooth probably

[cursive summit]

Bruh what

Even Series don't have that

[shadow minnow]

Indeed

It makes not much sense

[cursive summit]

The hell kind of anti-consumerism is this

[shadow minnow]

Since controllers and headsets even support it

[cursive summit]

I mean, I don't care myself cause my controller has a 3.5mm jack I plug my headphones into

[shadow minnow]

Yeah hate it.
Reason I got arctis 9X back then 2 years ago.
To have both Bluetooth and Xbox wireless

[cursive summit]

I remember buying Arctis 5s 2019 version

Sounded like a sidegrade to my Kraken TE's

I got the Cloud Alphas for cheaper few months later

Infinitesimally better sound on Alphas

[shadow minnow]

Honestly struggle to find enough reasons to get any headphones I tried over AirPods Pro.
They definitely can’t replace speakers, but considering me not at home most time atm, speakers kinda useless

[wheat plume]

Cloud 2 are the best sounding headphones ive ever had

[cursive summit]

You must have not had many closed backs above 100$ then

[shadow minnow]

Or all you had were from steelseries

[crisp granite]

G303 Shroud just arrived

hype

[wheat plume]

ay

:P

[young pecan]

Ugh. Uhhhh.

So the Lekker switches require a specifically designed PCB to even work, I’d wager (pls don’t ban me Wooting staff lads) cloning the PCB you already have for testing purposes to see if you can even get one switch working.

If so I’d modify the original board once you have a good idea of what not to do.

Idk, this is one of those things that’s proper uncharted waters as far as I’m aware.

[stuck jay]

Thanks for helping. I didnt know the propietary aspects were so significant. The world of mechanical keyboards seems much more complicated than I initially thought.

[young pecan]

Oh yeah.

Especially the Wooting boards since they’re a step above all the other crap in regards to construction.

You’d need to reverse engineer the board then go get some Chinese dudes to make you a few mini boards, maybe a key or two, to experiment.

[wheat plume]

the onyl steelseries shit ive had was the membrane Apex board they made

my friend uses it now

[umbral knot]

only steelseries shit I've had is one of their mousepads

[wheat plume]

oh wait, I have one of those

[final flame]

yea steelseries pads are pretty decent if you want something simple

[cursive summit]

Not quality or bang for the buck that's for sure

Other things are way better performing or looking, have less bloatware and are better priced

[chrome estuary]

My dad has steel series lights in it I think

[old marlin]

steelseries has like 0 good products atm

there is a reason they rely on a mouse that is almost 10 years old for marketing

they basically have not improved since then

[solar hinge]

arctis pro wireless

[old marlin]

shit sound quality

[solar hinge]

nah man

quite good

as i have 2 of them

easy to use

[old marlin]

yea it is wirless

but it sounds shit

[solar hinge]

but no, it's not an audiophile headset, but quite good

[old marlin]

like basically all wireless headphones, it also suffers from either shit sound or shit latency

[solar hinge]

no?

[old marlin]

you can get stuff that sounds VERY good for like a fourth of the price

[solar hinge]

i don't buy it for msrp, so still doubt that :p

[old marlin]

msrp is 370€

wtf is going on with steelseries

yea uhhh

just buy cloud 2 wireless

sounds better

scratch the fourth then

[solar hinge]

i can easily swap batteries, which is way better

[old marlin]

ksc75 are a tenth of the price

[old marlin]

but shit sound

[solar hinge]

it's not

[old marlin]

which is the primary function

[solar hinge]

sound is quite good

among all of the different wireless headphones i've had on

[old marlin]

try cloud II wireless

[solar hinge]

i paid 120 euro for the second one i got 😄

[old marlin]

that is like basically the msrp of the cloud II wireless

the arctis pro is MASSIVELY overpriced

you pay more for the charging station then for the headset itself

at that point just buy 2 headsets of any other brand

even audeze penrose X are cheaper

[solar hinge]

for all the review websites (which probably are not very unbiased as i don't know them) are stating the arctis pro wireless is better, but not for the price in regards to the cloud II

[old marlin]

review websites for audio basically all suck

as they are incapable of giving negative critique

such as "the headphone for a third of the price sounds better"

for the price of them you get an HD6XX and a cheap fiio DAC amp thing

[solar hinge]

that's wired :p

[old marlin]

prooves my point

that all wireless headphones suck

also you can get VERY decent headphones

and a BTR5

not worth it imo

somewhat better

[solar hinge]

for wireless headsets, having an easy replaceable battery helps it win already and sound is quite good 😄

so i'll stick to my arctis pro wireless 😄

[old marlin]

sound is quite good
source: dude just trust me

[solar hinge]

nah, that's what all reviewers say

[old marlin]

which can't be trusted

[solar hinge]

sound isn't good
source: dude just trust me

can literally say that :p

[old marlin]

have not even seen a decent measruement of it

sound guys ones are just ???

I can assure you it does not have that frequency response on a decent setup

anandtech one might be true, if it is it just sounds shit

bass would drown out everything

since you got like no treble

ah

rtings have them

yea uhhh

lul treble ig

[solar hinge]

not sure, i adjusted mine a bit, but can't say the bass drowns stuff out

via bluetooth it's not that great, more on the level of like a 50 euro bluetooth headphones 😄 and then you can't really tweak anything

but it's convenient, connecting both phone and pc at the same time, or pc and laptop

https://videocardz.com/newz/gigabyte-pcie-gen5-graphics-cards-to-require-either-16-pin-power-cable-or-3x8-pin-to-16-pin-adapter

[wheat plume]

Why does Chrome OS Flex refer to itseld as CloudReady 2 in the install process?

Is ChromeOS Flex just to make the public better understand what it is?

[old marlin]

so 3x8 Pin (150W each) equals 1x16 Pin (600W)

[ashen spindle]

well its not 150w for the 8 pins

more like 300 per molex spec, but 150 is the used spec to be safe and make sure crappy PSUs dont cause even more damage

which means 600W might be the spec but it can probably carry more in theory but I doubt you'd want more over one connection

[old marlin]

ye

I mean

you can prob draw like 400+ from them each

if you got decent wire gauge

[ashen spindle]

think 400 is what good cables do as max usually

[old marlin]

not like would usually get the chance to

[crisp granite]

wow...I am really loving the shape of the G303 Shroud

[fickle ore]

:Kekwait:

[crisp granite]

it's actually shockingly nice, and I bought it for less than a G Pro Wireless, so...yeah

[old marlin]

Not a mouse i would recommend to anyone tbh

[crisp granite]

yeah

it is a funky shape, but I actually love it

[fickle ore]

weighs too much to be ergonomiuc

[crisp granite]

it's light as hell lol

[final flame]

weak

me gaming with my mx master would like to differ

[old marlin]

my monitors refresh rate being dangerously close to your mouses polling rate would like to differ

and I didn't even want to buy one with a particularly high refresh rate

[fair gull]

no one cares thats why

why is the switch os called Horizon OS

[wheat plume]

No idea

[fair gull]

same reason

no one gives a shit

its an internal work name

end of story

fuck do i know what debian 12 is called

nor do i care

also glad android stopped the useless naming stuff

[wheat plume]

AFAIK, Google still call it by desert names internally

[fair gull]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

simple numbers behind the name is the best

makes it clearer than some confusing naming scheme

[wheat plume]

ye

[fair gull]

looks over at wooting

nintendo is the worst for naming shit tbh

especially when they redid the 3ds a few times

i guess xbox also sucked

when they went from 360 to one

despite having an xbox 1

[wheat plume]

Xiaomi have the worst naming scheme for phones

Redmi Note 10
Mi Note 10
Note 10 / Lite / Pro

not the same phones

[fair gull]

one not mine

ones mine

and ones red and mine

Hello, it looks like the Wooting 2 HE keyboard is exactly what I'm looking for. I have few questions left though : is there some shortcuts to handle sound volume on Windows ? ( mute/unmute, +/- )

[reef patrol]

Media Keys? Yes you can bind those.

Default setup.

[stoic grove]

Yes, nice, perfect !!

And the last question : I'm looking for "ISO-FR PBT backlight compliant" keycaps layout which doesn't exists in Wooting shop. I have some difficulties to find a suitable one on the Internet. For example, I found a Corsair one but I don't like the symbol font at all...

[reef patrol]

There's no way to say it other than - you're fucked. PBT and AZERTY are notoriously difficult to find outside of the exact kind you found from Corsair and friends.

https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amd-ryzen-8000-zen-5-cpus-and-radeon-rx-8000-rdna-4-gpus-likely-to-leverage-tsmcs-4nm-node/

Wonder what's up with Tsmc's 3nm

They seem to have blitzed past 6,5 and 4nm

[stoic grove]

I may have found keycaps. However, I struggle to find precise size of wooting 2 HE keys. Such as : does the space bar have a size of 6.25 ? Is there somewhere a full schema sowhing all keycaps sizes for the ISO layout ?

[reef patrol]

6.25 spacebar, standard same size bottom row keys, yes

[stoic grove]

Thank you !!

[young pecan]

Honestly I’m just impressed they’ve managed to come so close to atomic scale computing with no series quantum problems yet.

[ashen spindle]

nah, the parts that would be affected aren't small enough for that yet

[young pecan]

Really?

Iirc 2nm was serious risk of electrons just fucking off wherever they want, 4nm was some risk.

[ashen spindle]

yeah but nothing in the 3nm node is 3 nm xD

[young pecan]

Ah.

Lmfao yeah ok.

[young pecan]

Now there's some hot cringe.

C'mon, TSMC.

Make a 2nm transistor, idiots.

[pale sigil]

Make them

[young pecan]

Ok wait, so why is this naming scheme like this?

[ashen spindle]

marketing

[young pecan]

I don't see the dots to connect, am I retarded?

[ashen spindle]

since finfet you can't just measure it by the actual length anymore

but changing namin scheme also would've been weird so they just continued in how it would've been with old scaling sorta

[young pecan]

Ok wait so why can't we measure finfets?

Iirc those are not too small to measure.

[ashen spindle]

oh you can still measure them, but now it can be improved without lowering the length

so if you just measure it by that, all the nodes would be 20nm or smth like that

[young pecan]

Right.

Was a little confused there since most electron microscopes have a practical resolution of .1nm or so.

And even then theoretically they could go down to 2.5pm with the right sensory equipment.

Hmm, weird.

So the density is about 20nm rn, and the technology should allow us to push down to 15nm.

This hasn't been done because...?

[ashen spindle]

the 20nm was a random number from me

[young pecan]

Ah.

The ancient art of pulling numbers out of one's ass.

[ashen spindle]

well I didnt remember what node it was where they went to finfet

think it was 22 but not sure

ye it was

so ever since then, they obviously still want to make it smaller, but other factors are more/equally important

[young pecan]

Hmmmm.

How tf does one even construct that many micro scale devices?

Never bothered looking into the method of construction.

Actually how are we gonna start manipulating shit like atoms when the components get down to 2nm in size.

[shadow minnow]

Hmm windows 11 looks way better on laptop.
On desktop still looks better but difference seems to be a bit smaller to me

[wheat plume]

🤔 what?

How does it look better?

[shadow minnow]

As in compared to windows 10

[wheat plume]

yeh

11 is better looking than 10 for sure

but you said 11 looks better on your laptop vs your desktop?

[shadow minnow]

Yeah.
Probably being used to different desktop look while more rounded macOS on laptop.
But for me it looks like the windows 11 improvements are “more important” to make it look better on laptop, while on desktop since the screen is bigger, the change isn’t as visible for me

[wheat plume]

still dont know why windows defaults to 200% scaling on my laptop;;

its a 1080p screen

[shadow minnow]

Wait why does Minecraft on windows not support hdr

[wheat plume]

I doubt it

its also locked to 60hz

[shadow minnow]

It’s not locked for me, runs at variable refresh rate

[wheat plume]

🤔 oh hmm

[ashen spindle]

Yeah it’s not locked why would it be

[shadow minnow]

But for some reason it changes to SDR for me

[wheat plume]

The Bedrock edition

[shadow minnow]

Which means alt tab takes long

And it looks way worse

Maybe just GPU driver thing

But on macOS it runs hdr

[ashen spindle]

What sort of hdr is MC supposed to have lol

[wheat plume]

I keep HDR turned off, cause it just makes my screenshots really really bright and IDK why

[shadow minnow]

Well idk but on mac it works and it’s just brighter with bit better colors.

[ashen spindle]

Sound more like hdr that isn’t actuall hdr but rather emulated

[shadow minnow]

Which is mostly my monitor issue

But because of it it looks way better with hdr

Actually difference isn’t big

It may be SDR translated into HDR

Still with windows it’s annoying since changing what app is on screen makes it turn black

[stoic grove]

I'm sorry to bother you again, do you have the full schema ? There is some other keys I would like to check, especially the right shift which looks like 2.25x or 2.5x

[old marlin]

2HE is just a bog standard layout

nothing weird about it

[reef patrol]

Here you go. 🙂

[old marlin]

where would you even find a 2.25 or 2.5u right shift

[stoic grove]

Thanks a lot !

[stoic grove]

Nowhere, I just forgot that bottom keys are 1.25x instead of 1x 😅

[wheat plume]

ok.... I found max cursedness

ig that uses 2.25u

[shadow minnow]

Why does my pc sometimes get random artifacts or black screen

[latent mural]

Low ram

[crimson wigeon]

No

[crimson wigeon]

[latent mural]

It's the ram

[latent mural]

You can just pay to expand it and it will work

[shadow minnow]

Yep that's a lot

Also this makes you have more framedrops

[shadow minnow]

Oh, also, note, am using iGPU

[old marlin]

why tf would you need a fast keeb for that game

[latent mural]

I am good lol

[shadow minnow]

My mobo is daisy chain so 4 stick would run slower

[latent mural]

It's cool

[shadow minnow]

But not for me

[old marlin]

just replace some of the text

[latent mural]

[old marlin]

I don't know what to say epic B)

[old marlin]

there is a difference

between not being flawless

and just releasing a console for the sake of releasing a console

[latent mural]

Oh yhea

[old marlin]

even while getting scalped for it

then buying a remake of demon souls

[latent mural]

[old marlin]

and a ratchet and clank game that is not even 10 hours long

for full price

[latent mural]

Oof

[old marlin]

while "full price" increased once again

[latent mural]

M A R K E T I N G B)

[old marlin]

ah btw

only increased on one side

[latent mural]

What do you mean?

[old marlin]

"full price" stayed the same for xbox titles

no matter the gen

[latent mural]

Again

M A R K E T I N G B)

[old marlin]

na

microsoft cares more about gamepass by now

then physical releases

[latent mural]

I know

I never bought gamepasses

[ashen spindle]

Prices are not dictated by Sony though , that part has nothing to do with them aside from first party titles obviously

[old marlin]

so far all the games that have been released by sony have seen those extra 10 dollars/euros

afaik

well at least the big ones

[latent mural]

The ones that I don't play

Because I am a Nintendo guy

[old marlin]

cool

not like nintendo has AAA games

ah wait

they do

[latent mural]

Brhu

[old marlin]

switch is a laughably bad console imo as well

just because of outdated hardware

[latent mural]

Yhea that sucks

Switch oled is a bad move tough

[old marlin]

• nintendo not adressing the drifting problem at all apparently

[latent mural]

It's fixed

[old marlin]

is it

[latent mural]

Yes

[old marlin]

I have heard that for multiple revisions now

and have heard that it was not fixed later on

[latent mural]

I bought new controllers when I heard that it was fixed and I didn't had it at all

[old marlin]

well it doesn't happen to all of them

[latent mural]

So yhea

[latent mural]

Oh really?

Guess I got lucky

[old marlin]

prob not even the majority in a timeframe of like 3 years or something

just a big enough chunk for it to be a serious problem

[latent mural]

[ashen spindle]

are you sure thats a good deal?

[shadow minnow]

Let’s hope bios update magically fixed my pc

[ashen spindle]

you can fix your pc by getting it a gpu

[shadow minnow]

Tbf I am surprised of 0 errors so far running ram at 4600mhz

[shadow minnow]

I mean as in strange artifacts and stuff

[shadow minnow]

Usually would get error earlier

[ashen spindle]

well yeah, might fix it if its igpu related lol

[shadow minnow]

I was right

[young pecan]

@shadow minnow When even are you getting a GPU?

ez 100mhz scanrate

but for real it might be able to produce some nice features

4.15 @ 10k units

https://discordjs.moe/h7ebxmgb7sva.png

even at lower prices quite affordable

ngl

[reef tundra]

No its not

[fair gull]

id say it is

the atmega used rn is basically half as expensive but fuck tons slower

while yes the R&D is sorta massive

but it would give headroom for the future

if any arm cpu is used prob

even lower class arm m7 mcus blow out the atmega

maybe even socketable so it could be replaced

[ashen spindle]

or be the first to port QMK to risc v and be the official creator if you're feeling eild

[fair gull]

fuck risc-v

arm is risc enough for me

[ashen spindle]

[astral haven]

Screw arm, x86 is risc enough for me lmao

[reef tundra]

Im screwing your mum lmao

[empty wren]

How many loose nuts did she have this time 😉

[fair gull]

except that arm is actually risc

[ashen spindle]

Ehhhh

[fair gull]

pretty sure its officially classified as risc

[crimson wigeon]

But how can you get stuff done without all those amazing complex instructions!!

[ashen spindle]

the entire definition of what is risc and what is cisc is a mess to start with from what you can find at least

[astral haven]

All the instruction sets are complete and all the processors themselves are not

[ashen spindle]

I don't mean in an arm chip specifically, but trying to figure out what actually qualifies as risc still

[astral haven]

Can't run from risc

[ashen spindle]

wikipedia or its references weren't helpful and the random useful looking sites I found didn't help me there either

[astral haven]

Yup
The problem is basically everyone has their own definition, and many of them are correct
And people still misidentify the completeness of processors with their own definition

[wheat plume]

One great thing about Valve giving out the cad files is that case makers will have the ability to make the case fit the deck perfectly without having a deck

[reef patrol]

Most likely cause they're not making a ton of money on the Deck itself, but more in terms of spreading Steam further and making it even more of a one-stop monopoly.

Or they don't want to invest in accessories and such, and just throw out designs and permissions to whoever wants to.

[misty saffron]

well at least miners would be less likely to buy those

unless they want to be cooked alive

[ashen spindle]

ehhhh

they run cooler when mining usually anyway since it's not fully stressing all the cores

[reef tundra]

Miners should tighten their rope a little

[ashen spindle]

also thrice the power for 2.5x the powerdaw would still be worth it sadly

damn intel just on time

[reef patrol]

[misty saffron]

if only m2 wasn’t this year

[ashen spindle]

it's an 8 months old roadmap that is already outdate from public info lmfao

also it's targeting the next gen apple chips not what is out already wtf is that headline

[fair gull]

dont think intel will beat m1 or m2 overall anyway

the low power consumption of arm is smth they just wont beat easily

[ashen spindle]

oh they absolutely can if the uArch is designed to not scale up like they usually do

• their node might just be better too

tsmc's N3 is having big issues

so if intel 3 is coming along fine it could be better just from that

[fair gull]

max load wattage is like 40w and idle is like 8 or smth on the m1

for the blazing fast cpu and gpu combined

i find it hard to believe intel can beat that

[ashen spindle]

I mean, new node, uArch made to run at lower power and ignore scaling beyond that

its not like x86 is inherently worse really

since arm is also quite "bloated" by now if that is the reason

[fair gull]

oh no ya i think x86 is just so settled into 1 design philosophy that they cant beat arm power wise unless they change it from the ground up

[ashen spindle]

I mean I by no means have any deep knowledge on that, so I just trust what people like Keller have said on it

[fair gull]

its not like i want intel to suck

but u cant argue that a cool 500mw gpu power draw while playing back video in a browser is damn impressive

[ashen spindle]

ok but gpu is not x86 lol

[fair gull]

well the cpu idles at 100 while doing that

[ashen spindle]

and intels biggest customers have been the ones running it at >500W

so they just didn't really need to focus on that part till someone else competed in it

and you can already see that it's not like apple can easily improve every gen, compare what they did with the first vs the latest m1 in performance compared to what amd could do from zen2 to zen3+ on the same node even

and lower power especially is quite tied to the node

[fair gull]

im aware but i still cant imagine it

guess well have to see

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah it could easily fail on either side, I am excited to see new stuff either way
