Time to dump 2 billion into R&D.

[shadow minnow]

Ikr

[young pecan]

Minecraft PE is clearly where the userbase is.

[cursive summit]

Nobody here codes in Java?

[shadow minnow]

Never played PE but actually quite a few times set up servers or plugins, or uploaded them through mc panel from phone

[young pecan]

Why a phone?

[shadow minnow]

Long bus travels

Long walking

[young pecan]

Ah, I getchu.

[shadow minnow]

And sometimes just convenience since used to it

But used to travel like 3 hours a day by bus

Now walk hour and half a day which is less tbf

Since M1 carry a laptop with me more often though so having to use phone for this less and less
Though atm need to get microchip studio to work on M1 and it not wanna work

May have to refund parallels if I don’t get it to work

Since useless

Visual studio toolkit or however is it called refuses to install

[crisp granite]

yeah

the M1 laptops are impressively thin and light for the battery life and horsepower

[shadow minnow]

Indeed

Today was the first time I almost ran out of battery tbf

[crisp granite]

nice

[shadow minnow]

Trying to get one vm environment to work for two hours

And using it in total for like 3 or 4

Ended up with like 12%

Couldn’t fully charge my phone from it

[young pecan]

How's virtualization on OSx?

[shadow minnow]

Pretty good

Though for windows not that cheap

And with M1 still won’t run some stuff

Since need windows 11 for arm

[young pecan]

Ngl after using Proxmox for so long I can't imagine switching to something else.

[shadow minnow]

Parallels is well, interesting.
Atm only really solid way to have vm on M1
It is pretty good with features, and has stuff you would use like dragging files directly accross and drivers working.
Also interestingly it instead of bypassing tpm requirement which is surprisingly easy, somehow stores tpm key in keychain and pretends it’s tpm.
Also interesting thing is that on macOS efficiency cores don’t work for virtualization though it makes sense I guess

[shadow minnow]

Hmm I guess. On M1 pro myself which means double the performance cores

Depends on usecase kinda

In optimal scenario can beat 11900k but idk about how would it do in virtualization

Ngl it really impressed me

Going from 2017 pro

But ngl parallels really feels as if it was normal os

[plush summit]

There's already a couple issue with in video and AMD though it is a duopoly they do fight quite a bit about who is the better product it'll be nice to see if intel can make a product that actually doesn't suck

Is actually really good for efficiency but it's not all that powerful I'll grab it anyway and I'll use it as display outs for virtual machines and encoding cards for when I'm recording videos instead of using my main GPU

Because Intel has their drivers in Mesa which is super fucking nice for Linux un like Nvidia

[cursive summit]

More graphics cards!!!
Yayy!

For laptops!

Aw

[ashen spindle]

it was said already, desktop is Q2 for arc

gotta give more time to pray and fix the drivers

[cursive summit]

We are in Q2

Or not, apparently

Fiscal quarter 2 begins in April

[ashen spindle]

yes, quarter has 3 months not two lmao

[cursive summit]

Nah I thought it begins in December

You know, seasonal quarters

[ashen spindle]

??

[halcyon moss]

???

[cursive summit]

???

[reef patrol]

So... Seasons?

[shadow minnow]

[cursive summit]

I guess you can say that

[reef tundra]

Battlepass period

[misty saffron]

bro they added time travel

[ashen spindle]

man it really is time travel if you just now hear of a 5 year old feature

[misty saffron]

yeah i thought they added it to kernel debug

they didn't

fun demo for you all

[pale sigil]

You don't half listen to shite :p

[misty saffron]

what

good music

[shadow minnow]

Hmm that cube reminds me of trying to do sth in Metal

Idk man 449 is a tough pill

But it does seem cheaper than 12900K still

[pale sigil]

Kinda wish I stuck with getting a 5800x ngl

[ashen spindle]

#🔌│tech message bruh you were literally the person to already link the price two weeks ago

[cursive summit]

6 cores for 129$ is pretty damn good though

[pale sigil]

Ye

[cursive summit]

That was a "leak", this is official

So to see it actually being 449 is eh

[ashen spindle]

they are both leaks of official docs

[pale sigil]

Don't try to fight quin

[cursive summit]

I based my expectations initially on this https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d-w-64mb-3d-stacked-cache-may-be-priced-as-low-as-350/

But +100$ on top of that is alright, still a good price but not as affordable as 350 and disappointing

[cursive summit]

Also, no, not really?

[ashen spindle]

there is no official source site nor is it shown as a pr post from info that amd sent out

so it's not an official announcement

officially launches =/= official announcement from the company

[cursive summit]

I don't think I've ever mentioned the word launch

There's just a difference in having 2 posts on the same product one being "One of our sources says" and "AMD officially says"

[ashen spindle]

but amd didnt say it anywhere

those are official slides that are leaked that might be announced later today, doesn't make it official till that happens though

[cursive summit]

Then it's on videocardz for wording it shittily

[ashen spindle]

not hard to notice though if one just reads the post 😛 or at least glances at it

[cursive summit]

What are you even talking about at this point

[pale sigil]

Stop it

[ashen spindle]

so where is the announcement?

where is the source link to it

[pale sigil]

Get a room you two

[cursive summit]

Prolly partners only or something for now

Tech blogs seem to be abuzz about it though

[ashen spindle]

ah yes, the amd exclusive partner videocardz :morfXderp:

oh rip my free nitro

[cursive summit]

Sounds like videocardz clickbaiting issue here

[pale sigil]

Almost as though you really need a stablecoin to act as y’know, the stable part of the currency.

[crisp granite]

I'm not surprised

crypto as it is today is quite literally a bunch of idiots on reddit and a dedicated few with vision making it more than a bunch of idiots on reddit

of course, it's so far from even being remotely acceptable for use anywhere

[misty saffron]

meh, was acceptable for use with illegal stuff for quite some time now

[empty wren]

Premium is pretty good if one actually uses YouTube a lot

[crimson wigeon]

I heard premium gives good revenue to creators too, maybe, perhaps

[wheat plume]

I use vanced because of the settings you can change to remove parts of the YT app UI

I want to get rid of shorts, the merch section, put comments back in the old spot too and remove the big ass uplaod button on the middle of the bottom navigation bar

[reef patrol]

Meh...Vanced was useless anyhow.

Fite me

[wheat plume]

It has a proper AMOLED theme and the UI can be changed how you like it

and it removes the upload button at the center

[empty wren]

substratum offers a theme, but okay fine ui editing is not offered elsewhere

[wheat plume]

Im not going to root my phone and use an outdated YT version to get substratum to work

[empty wren]

huh

i got it working on the latest

[wheat plume]

substratum only work on rooted phones

[empty wren]

oh i thought you were rooted

[wheat plume]

no

[astral haven]

Also give my dislike counter back

[astral haven]

Also this is optional
I like it for sharing videos

https://youtu.be/3QB_zDkydjw
Headphone users beware

[misty saffron]

my motherboard does the same idiotic thing

[astral haven]

It depends on the fans
0% pwm on these is 100% speed
Then it drops to 0 at 4% pwm then increases linearly from there

I had to manually set the fan controller to minimum 5% otherwise it would always stay on

[misty saffron]

shouldn't the motherboard handle that though?

to, like, never set it to 0% pwm

even on startup

[timid chasm]

my big noctua fan definitely likes to spin up to 100% on initial startup

annoying tbh

[astral haven]

Technically no
Pwm fans shouldnt run when not signalled to turn on

But
It allows pwm fans to work in non pwm headers

[misty saffron]

i don't have an explanation for why the chipset fan does that

it's stock

[astral haven]

My chipset fan always runs at 100% and it pisses me tf off

[misty saffron]

i turned it off

would only spin up if 95 degrees

which is never

[astral haven]

Couldn't find a setting to turn mine off

I might go and unplug it tho now that I am so annoyed

But I will only do that after I swap boot drives

But yea
Deltas are fun
Water temp = ambient

And my pro tip for deltas is to run 2 sets of fans on the radiator with them
I've got some arctic's on the back of that radiator that keeps the air flowing while the deltas are off

[wheat plume]

Seriously???

They block Edge uninstallation using winget

[ashen spindle]

doubt it

if that were the case why would there be a ticket that want winget to not allow you to remove edge or at least show a warning

[wheat plume]

[wheat plume]

same

[shadow minnow]

Can’t get it to work

[pale sigil]

Vscode bae

[shadow minnow]

Or well build tools for 2015

[wheat plume]

hmm

why it fail

maybe cause discord updates itself

[pale sigil]

Google the code

[wheat plume]

but VS Code isnt a third party package....

oohh

choco had issues for me last time I tried

I may try again later

its goign along pretty smoothly running upgrades so far

it does constantly popup the UAC prompt though

[pale sigil]

It will do

It isn't a silent install

[wheat plume]

still, the amount of time and hunting down updates that winget saves is really nice

I dotn have to launch every app I have installed and chekc updates manually

[misty saffron]

start terminal as admin?

[wheat plume]

idk

maybe that might work

it pops the UAC wheneber the app needs attention

like if a window opens in VS's case etc

[misty saffron]

...huh

[wheat plume]

when this opened, it prompted the UAC

to continue to install the upgrade

[misty saffron]

"today i will ask for admin perms to get attention from user"

🤔

i mean

i guess it works

[wheat plume]

you always get the UAC prompt when installing software

[final flame]

only time you get a uac promt is from software exe installers

stuff like steam doesn't need a uac

[wheat plume]

ooh

[wheat plume]

this isnt a VM dafuq

this is host network, so will it work if I plug in a ethernet cable?

Hmmm
Idk the difference between the APKs

[empty wren]

Depends on your phone's processor

You can just get the top one if you do not know

[halcyon moss]

Ubuntu ships a firefox as a snap package. Ubuntu uses gnome shell. to install gnome shell extensions you need to use a browser. But because firefox is sandboxed in a snap package, it cannot communicate with the extension daemon..

so no installing extensions for me

well i got it by manually installing it 🎉

[halcyon moss]

well.. thats it for stadia i guess
https://games.slashdot.org/story/22/03/15/2058248/google-unveils-its-b2b-cloud-gaming-platform-built-with-stadia-tech?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed

[ashen spindle]

so it will be used to add weird useless salespoints to cable tv

[pale sigil]

Wtf

[ashen spindle]

then also for tech of B2B marketing bs it will be used in projects where people also dont have a clue about gaming so it all is just a massive waste of money

how sad

[pale sigil]

Be cool if you could run stadia tech on your desktop

[halcyon moss]

... you kinda can with nvidia's streaming and amd's streaming and steam's streaming

[ashen spindle]

yea

anything more that stadia does has no real benefit for end user

you'd just add extra latency or so for inputs if anything

[halcyon moss]

and there are hosted gaming services like xbox streaming playstation now, and basically a gaming pc in the cloud service which i forgot the name for

[ashen spindle]

stadia just had the issue they made a game project based on what managers/venture capital/marketing/business wanted

and not what devs/consumers wanted lol

[halcyon moss]

raid? jbod!

[ashen spindle]

not even gen 5 smh

[solar hinge]

the 4 nvme drives i have are not gen 5 so :p

i do need to check how well it'll fit 😛

[halcyon moss]

it even has a cute little fan

[solar hinge]

indeed

and it was 62 euro :p

[cursive summit]

62 euros for that with no built in SSDs?

Smh my head, not even a bargain

Would rather by chinesium for 10x cheaper from Alibaba

[solar hinge]

indeed, i also rather not have warranty and could potentially not work or ruin the pc

indeed

[cursive summit]

See? Even you agree

China makes best things for lowest price.

Bang for the buck, if you will

[ashen spindle]

not quite sure why that topic needed some casual antisemitism but you do you I guess

[cursive summit]

nothing such was said

[ashen spindle]

"jewros"

[cursive summit]

That's antisemitism?

Definition of that word must have really fallen if we are to classify that as prejudice

[ashen spindle]

feel free to explain me how else that words comes to be then

[cursive summit]

Where has world gone to nowadays, can't even joke about anything

That's bad, that's also bad

[ashen spindle]

so you can't explain how it is normal

[cursive summit]

There's literally no slur or insult that is that word that even exists

Literally ironical or satirical pronounciation of the word euro

[ashen spindle]

what is it making fun of then

[cursive summit]

Absolutely nobody

Actually, bad purchases

[ashen spindle]

if there is no correlation whats the joke then

[cursive summit]

Correlation to what

Joke's the pronounciation

[ashen spindle]

I can't tell if you're actually believe what you say

[cursive summit]

Can't tell if you ever allow fun to be had

[ashen spindle]

absolutely, just not if the fun is made on behalf of the biggest stereotype of a minority???

[cursive summit]

Nobody made fun of that matter

That's just you coming up with things out of your own imagination

[ashen spindle]

ah so I guess the biggest stereotype of jews, that they are greedy, are the ones behind governments and money etc. is what I made up in my head and wrote it in wikipedia and all that today

[cursive summit]

That's your words, not mine

I just like poking fun at the pronounciation of the word euro

Never in a million years I said anything about that matter

[ashen spindle]

you do realize the joke only lands because there is correlation between the words?

you dont need to have a degree in literature to understand that if there was no connotation to the word, it wouldn't make sense and thus not be funny

[crisp granite]

...

[cursive summit]

There was literally no "correlation" joke anywhere

It's a pronounciation joke

[ashen spindle]

would be a bit different if those things were just in the past, but we still have "prominent" people actually thinking jews control the german government etc.

[cursive summit]

Now where did this come from

Let's not go third eye where no intent to do so was

Fine, the pronunciation wasn't funny, drop it then

Don't go full racist on where there was no such intent

[ashen spindle]

never said you were one or that it was intentional, intent doesn't really change if it is or isn't received that way

[cursive summit]

Some would say how it is received is perceived differently by everyone

And by a large margin you are the only one to see that word in a not light hearted sense

https://videocardz.com/press-release/gigabyte-announces-its-amd-500-400-and-some-300-series-motherboards-natively-support-the-newest-ryzen-5000-4000-cpus https://videocardz.com/press-release/asus-to-support-amds-newest-ryzen-5000-4000-cpus-with-its-500-400-and-300-series-motherboards

Good to see life extension to 300 series mobos

Too bad that we're probably only getting that due to competition, not kind heartedness

[solar hinge]

Who likes it fluffy

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

wait what, is this the actual area formula?

[ashen spindle]

probably

[wheat plume]

yep, it works... neat!

[ashen spindle]

and this is why ai code will make things so much worse

[wheat plume]

I understand how this works, I was about to do this slightly differently but mostly the same tihng

well, I was going to seperate the points into two parts, but using split() later is much neater

(x1 * y2) + ( x2 * y3 ) + ( x3 * y1) - ( y1 * x2) - ( y2 * x3 ) - ( y3 * x1) ) / 2

[wheat plume]

Are there other coding languages that can do this?
You can assign multiple variables to the output of a function if the function returns more than one value

[ashen spindle]

yes though that does not look like clean code at all

[wheat plume]

then how clean it?

[ashen spindle]

idk

I dont know what language that is

also I said it doesnt look clean to me, if there is no better way this might not be wrong, just looks like that to me

[wheat plume]

Python

userInput returns 3 values
the call assigns these to point1, point2, point3

Then it prints out the value returned by areaOfTriangle and passes in the points

[ashen spindle]

other way around but I get the point

never used python so idk

[wheat plume]

.... apparently you cant concatenate a string with a function call in a print() statement

[ashen spindle]

ok

[wheat plume]

got to seperate the lines damn it

[crimson wigeon]

ok

[wheat plume]

.-. still no

wtf

[ashen spindle]

you REALLY should get into the habit of reading and understanding the error messages a tool gives you

[wheat plume]

TypeError, I know

its trying to convert the area value to string

idk how to make it not try to do that

[ashen spindle]

no thats the exact opposite of what it says

[wheat plume]

ok now it works

[ashen spindle]

error messages will almost always be extremely accurate unless you go into c++ linker territory so read and understand them

[crimson wigeon]

But good luck understanding the c++ compiler errors when you do real fancy template crap

[young pecan]

Oh cool! Gigabyte news nobody should care about followed by Asus news that people should.

[cursive summit]

B550 Aorus Master disagrees

Also fuck Asus

[young pecan]

Guy, Gigabyte motherboards can go eat a chode.

Idc if they're the best hardware on the planet for the price, that their software and firmware is so bad is a no go.

My build policy for putting together machines for people is I'll do it conditional of there being no gigabyte motherboard or GPU.

I am not going through the hassle of updating their bullshit and having to get calls when it inevitably breaks or otherwise stops working.

[astral haven]

Yea while Asus overcharges you for the hardware, and the software is solidly iOS tier jank
At least the hardware doesn't have negative vdroop
Set 1.35v on a gigabyte board and it can give you 1.6v
Asus auto volts are alot but at least when you set them they set properly
And don't get me started on bios recovery
Enter the wrong settings and even if your board has dual bios your board is dead without pulling the battery

Combine gigabyte jank with agesa stability and you have yourself hours of troubleshooting fun

[ashen spindle]

im happy with my gigabyte b550 though I would not recommed it if you're not willing to deal with certain things for sure

for someone else who isn't getting their stuff themselves? yea better not lmao

[pale sigil]

Amen

[young pecan]

Honestly few brands are as bad as gigabyte.

Fucking Biostar is preferred.

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-ouch-michael-scott-steve-carell-lip-bite-gif-11838665

[ashen spindle]

ehh, I would say that depends on what you are looking for

[young pecan]

I have a Biostar board, thing has worked wonderfully.

Guy.

I have 35 graphics cards.

The only problems I get are from Gigabyte ones.

None of them have issues but the Gigabyte ones.

[pale sigil]

I got my Asus board at a good price

[young pecan]

Have not heard a fucking whisper of an issue from any of my EVGA cards.

[pale sigil]

But lana on the other hand got scammed

[ashen spindle]

yeah but there are still things like a board just literally not having what you need so thats not an option 😛

[pale sigil]

[young pecan]

I would rather have to string 3 PCs of hardware together for my personal rig than use anything Gigabyte.

[pale sigil]

As much as i love evga their cards have a um

History of going on fire

Including mine

[ashen spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

how did lana get scammed?

[young pecan]

Never had issues with my cards from EVGA, tbh.

[pale sigil]

Doesn't matter

It was officially addressed :p

Multiple times xD

[young pecan]

I'm lucky enough to not buy any of the fire ones.

Just stay XC3.

[pale sigil]

And ofc recently there was the issue with 3090s going apw

And 3080s

Cos of some games

[young pecan]

Yeee

[ashen spindle]

genuinely dont remember what it was so I asked

and the 3090 was confirmed to not be evgas fault but nvidias

[young pecan]

Wasn't that a voltage controller issue?

[pale sigil]

Ngl though

I don't like msi either

But j didn't have much of a choice

[ashen spindle]

something like that ye

[young pecan]

I'll still forever take jank MSI over Gigabyte on a good day.

[ashen spindle]

think it was some part not meeting spec or spec not being fine despite nvidia approving it, something along those lines

[pale sigil]

Ye for sure...

I'll agree with you on that

[young pecan]

Like MSI fucks up but it's usually a weird issue.

Gigabyte fucking up is their default.

[pale sigil]

Anyway

[young pecan]

Doesn't matter if they're on a good day, decent odds the product just dies eventually.

[pale sigil]

Fighting quin is a pointless battle

[ashen spindle]

ofc they know where you are, how else is a file explorer supposed to know what to display ¿

[young pecan]

I'd rather they make it paid and I continue to use activation scripts.

[wheat plume]

no, but if the ads are being downloaded from internet in realtime

[astral haven]

I really hope that means free windows soon

[wheat plume]

then they can see your activity in realtime

[astral haven]

Yes

That's a setting in windows now

[reef tundra]

They already do that since 2015?

[astral haven]

Been there since 18? 19?

[young pecan]

Lana, have you not seen the direction windows telemetry has been going for a decade?

[astral haven]

Nah

Started in 18 to 19

Before then it was just "smartscreen"

[young pecan]

Ngl I think Windows is best used with an activation script and a lot of telemetry destruction.

If ever we get to the day that can't be done I'll happily suggest Linux.

[pale sigil]

Well

When I get my deck im ditching windows for good anyway

[young pecan]

For what distro?

[ashen spindle]

sure mr destiny 2 addict

[young pecan]

Technically he can use Arch and passthrough his GPU to a Windows 7 VM to stop the nasty Microsoft.

[pale sigil]

Steam deck as main system, current pc for destiny steam stream.

Sorted

[ashen spindle]

give me your 3080 then since you dont need it anymore

[wheat plume]

lol

[pale sigil]

I will when I'm playing games

[young pecan]

I'll buy it from you for a fiddie buck upmark.

[pale sigil]

Except GPU pass through is ass

And most games detect VMs

[wheat plume]

yeah.... games ban for VM ;-;

[ashen spindle]

anti cheats usually do, not games directly

[young pecan]

If a game is banning you for a VM you're not doing shit correctly.

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/wrong-drumpf-trump-stupid-gif-6220235

[young pecan]

A fully prepped VM should look in all ways like a normal OS.

Source: I do this shit all the time because Proxmox.

[pale sigil]

Usually you have to trick some games into thinking its not a vm

[wheat plume]

nah, Mutahar proved that they can still detect it soemhow

[pale sigil]

Oh

Nvm

[ashen spindle]

what non EAC/BE games do that?

[pale sigil]

You meant ban

Ignore me

I'm going bed

I'm being more retarded than usual

[young pecan]

Yee, so you're forced into using a hypervisor and emulating the entire OS in a bare metal way.

It's a massive pain in the ass, but it works well enough that I've only seen one thing capable of detecting.

Adds a LOT of processing overhead.

[pale sigil]

Damn smart bulb isn't being smart rn

[pale sigil]

Need a second GPU though

It's ass

[young pecan]

Eh, kinda.

You can actually reboot and have different GRUB profiles for IOMMU.

And since you'd run this on Proxmox if you're smart you can actually set a GPU to be acceptable by multiple VMs.

It's a bit of a pain in the ass to setup, but it works.

[pale sigil]

I ran bdo in a vm for fishing @young pecan

Saved me loads in power consumption

[young pecan]

Fucking what?

[ashen spindle]

so dont play at 1080p and your gpu puts in some work

[pale sigil]

Wot

[young pecan]

No way Elden Ring uses one core.

No waaaay.

[pale sigil]

Most games do?

[young pecan]

Since when? A lot of games I've seen as of late can use upward of 4.

[ashen spindle]

most games from 10 years ago maybe

[wheat plume]

that why it runs so damn smooth on Steam Deck?

[young pecan]

Hell, Mass Effect Andromeda uses fucking EIGHT cores.

[pale sigil]

Ah so unity games

[ashen spindle]

no it runs on steam deck because steam deck is same hardware as consoles

[young pecan]

If that pile of crap uses 8 cores then I'd be shocked to see anything modern using a single core.

[ashen spindle]

I know you're trying to trigger me bc I work with that engine but I genuinely dont care about that

from software sadly have a history of not doing great on optimisation of any kind

[pale sigil]

And yet everyone still has a huge boner

[young pecan]

So does From just live back in 2011?

[ashen spindle]

yes elden ring is amazing despite not being super optimised

it's like the same thing as pokemon and graphics

they are aged as fuck but the games are still loved

[young pecan]

Don't start me about Pokemon, dude.

[ashen spindle]

would be nice if it would get better but the results so far still are great

[pale sigil]

Stuttering honestly ruins the experience for me on any game

[ashen spindle]

I mean a caching bug isn't really related to it

thankfully it's not that bad aside from the starting plane (ironically)

[astral haven]

Then you really won't like the steam deck
Unless you never plan to play more than a few hours of any games

[pale sigil]

Eh I'm not getting it entirely for gaming

[young pecan]

I'm not getting a Deck until it's revised a few times.

Buying into new products is an idiot move 100% of the time.

[ashen spindle]

agreed, now if you excuse me i have a brand new oled screen to buy on release

[pale sigil]

100%

I'm an idiot so fite me

No?

You mean first gen?

No, usually consoles etc get cheaper

Valve have already confirmed they've started on version 2

They won't revise the v1 probably

Not enough to say its an upgrade

You didn't say that though

[ashen spindle]

they also said they sold much more of the expensive model meaning it's likely they will make more of those options/make the base model better and thus more expensive

while probably not selling V1 anymore once that comes out

[wheat plume]

I have middle reserved

After Q3 .-.

Once Deck 2 is out, I can sell the current one to my cousin, he doesnt have a PC and runs games on his console and laptop thats so bloated by crapware cause its HP

[ashen spindle]

clean install and bloat is gone

[young pecan]

Sounds to me like I can interest you in a new install and an activation script.

[wheat plume]

nope, not on HP, it has audio software that integrates with the drivers windows installs

[wheat plume]

hehe xd perhaps

not for me, I have a digital license for Windows

[young pecan]

I think the last time I had a digital windows license was 7 years ago.

[wheat plume]

Also, a funny thing happened my friend a month ago

[ashen spindle]

yes even on hp you can remove bloat

[wheat plume]

He always used pirated windows, for almost like 7 years at this point

He installed 11, clean install and it was already activated, he just suddenly got a license for it onto his account...

[ashen spindle]

that is also old news and what they did when 10 released

[young pecan]

Did the Win7 upgrade work that way?

I mean upgrading into Win7 btw.

Not into Win10.

[wheat plume]

I wonder will custom distros fro Deck be made eventually?

I know ChimeraOS is trying to bring the Deck features to living room gaming PCs

TBF, there is no point, SteamOS is pretty damn the perfect OS for it, doubt others could replicate the suspend and resume ability

how much of suspend / resume ability related to the hardware specifically?

can it be taken out of SteamOS and added to another distro for example?

[young pecan]

I would imagine not much is going to stop people from taking the functionality.

Valve isn't like Nintendo where they attempt to force features by hardware measures.

Think the Fuses in the DS series.

[wheat plume]

Fuses?

[young pecan]

So the old NDS line used to have Fuses on the PCB to prevent you from flashing back to an older OS.

When you tried it'd burn a Fuse and you had 5 per console.

Once all were burned the console bricked.

[wheat plume]

o.o

[young pecan]

This didn't stop people from finding ways around that and exploiting the console anyway, but Nintendo has a history of it.

Oh and btw the consoles that got bricked were fixable.

[wheat plume]

nintendo dont give a shit about preserving their history

[young pecan]

You could rip the NAND off the board and the related components and solder them onto a donor board with good fuses.

But Nintendo has never given fucks about the consumer.

Yeah btw, if you tried taking just the NAND off the board and soldering it onto a new board it'd fry the fuses since it had an ID mismatch with the NAND/RAM/etc.

[empty wren]

Seems worse than apple

[young pecan]

You did have to take off all of the major components and place them onto a donor board with at least 2 good fuses since the operation would likely kill one and you needed a minimum of 1 for the board to work.

And no, you can't just solder new fuses on since each fuse has an ID and if the NAND mismatches ID it'll kill all 5 fuses at once and brick again.

Why? Fuck yourself with the handle of a ladle, that's why.

[young pecan]

Yeh.

I mean worse in intent.

Apple is worse due to hardware availability with 3rd parties, but Nintendo is worse in intent.

[empty wren]

Well apple apologized for faceid not working recently

[wheat plume]

Samsung are getting into hardware limits too
Making the camera unit fail if you try to unlock the bootloader

[empty wren]

Eh only reason to be apple certified is for displays

[young pecan]

Disagree.

Displays and batteries.

Do not fuck with power delivery ever.

[empty wren]

I thought batteries were easy to get

[young pecan]

They are, but scam batteries explode.

LOTS of those.

[empty wren]

I find that surprising

Bought two batteries for a phone one had a resistor another has a real sensor

Both work fine

[young pecan]

Some batteries swell and explode if they're poorly made.

Not worth the risk.

[empty wren]

I wonder if apple has exposed sensors

Could be a good way to tell fake from real

I do get your point though, guessing some people purchase very cheap batteries due to price

[young pecan]

https://youtu.be/xbeQWkYPmfw?t=75

This is not the kind of thing you want to be carrying around in your pocket.

[empty wren]

Yeah I have poked a dead battery before

But it should not really do that

If done well

[young pecan]

Yeee

Issue being scam batteries just aren't well put together.

Decent physical battery, no safeties.

[empty wren]

Actually speaking of

I think apple had a iPhone 6 battery program

Which had batteries for like $10 a piece or something

[young pecan]

• $200 service fee.

[wheat plume]

• $50 for custom text engraving

[empty wren]

Well thankfully ifixit exists in US

Not sure how much Batteries+Bulbs asks but might 3rd party option

[empty wren]

To be fair a one time engraving might actually be better to pay that price

Could hook a laser to printer but need a printer first

[wheat plume]

I would love to laser engrave a battery for sure

[empty wren]

[halcyon moss]

may i introduce you to string formatting.

[foggy solstice]

Please do.

[timid chasm]

do we format it as ntfs?

also doesn't that make it empty? 😛

[foggy solstice]

Maybe, f-strings are pretty powerful.

[halcyon moss]

https://realpython.com/python-string-formatting/

my preference goes to either f-strings or %

[foggy solstice]

F-strings are pretty fast.

[halcyon moss]

not why I'd choose them, but it does not matter most of the time.

[ashen spindle]

c# ftw, string interpolation is fast and so nice to use

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume

[halcyon moss]

thats going to drain the battery like crazy

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah think I need to step up to 4K to see any drifference

(and maybe vids without heavy YT compression)

[shadow minnow]

Hmm looks a cool. Though looks like some part of it is by sharpening the image instead of making it smoother

[ashen spindle]

they do have a fence like think in the deathlooop example, as HUB shows in their video

[halcyon moss]

those fence wires are hard though!

[ashen spindle]

well HUB does zoom in to show that example

https://videocardz.com/newz/despite-apples-claims-m1-ultra-gpu-is-not-as-powerful-as-rtx-3090

shocking news!

[old marlin]

problem is that we do not see how it behaves under motion

[ashen spindle]

but the amd video shows motion?

[old marlin]

yea but with limited bitrate

what confuses me is that they seem to show more detail and antialiasing with FSR

this is native 4k

this is FSR

top of that tower is only visible in the FSR 2.0 image

and it looks like they used a lot higher res textures

[old marlin]

and it looks oddly hazy, just lie in the FSR 1.0 image

yea uhhhh

the video seems basically unusable

due to the amount of blur the 4k version got hit with

due to lowered fps

[ashen spindle]

it's just a trailer before the GDC talk anyway

[old marlin]

I mean it seems a whole lot better than the old one

[ashen spindle]

yup

[shadow minnow]

Hmm looks a bit grainy. Imo looks better here but worse for some other stuff, especially indie games

[ashen spindle]

what

[shadow minnow]

No wonder when they compare it in parallels even

[ashen spindle]

why would it be worse for indie games

[shadow minnow]

Sometimes you want sharp sometimes smooth textures. And I mean as in graphics where you want stuff to look smooth and not so high res like

[ashen spindle]

you can have high res without high details

that's two different things

[old marlin]

I feel like games that have such big differences in art style would usually not be super hard to run anyways

[sudden glacier]

i want to try this in apex

see if this makes distant targets easier to see on 1080p

[ashen spindle]

could be but unlikely

[sudden glacier]

i already use virtual resolution to get way better definition per pixel, but it takes a lot of fps

[ashen spindle]

parts like the top piece of a building not rendering normally is LoD feature or just lower priority objects

if that happens with playermodels that is usually a bug

[sudden glacier]

unlucky

at least i have the forgotten amd 'boost' shader

consistent 144fps during tracking/flicks is pretty nice

but it doesn't work well in every game

and the support for it varies per patch, so not really ideal to rely on

[astral haven]

Lod is usually resolution dependent

[ashen spindle]

Ehh I guess it can be used that way though isn’t used like that by default is most cases I think

[wheat plume]

Hmm
Interesting move, Xiaomi

[misty saffron]

or incompetence

usually incompetence

[ashen spindle]

ehh, in competetive games usually not bc that would be found earlier

otherise yes

[crisp granite]

I love how he complains about nothing but the chip and camera (for the price) being awesome...
it's an iPhone SE, it's going to be nearly unchanged other than new chips

ffs

[wheat plume]

I want all phones to have slip up front cameras, so that I can hide it when not using it

cause I use it like once a month at most

LOL

Idk about mechanical parts tbh. Though pretty nice privacy feature ngl

Tbf with my phone I probably can take only one photo before it doesn’t allow me more since full storage
If not 0 already

[empty wren]

Well even though the trend died, Asus still has a model

[true quest]

make it an external accessory that you plug into your phone to use it

beeg money

now we wait for apple to follow through

[wheat plume]

a phone without a front camera? with an optional front camera addon?

Yeah, sign me up

I wont buy the camera

Easy

Dont need it

[pale sigil]

Same

[true quest]

one step closer to apple's vision of a uniform brick phone

[empty wren]

There is also the a80 midrange phone

[true quest]

no gaps, ports or annoying antennas

[wheat plume]

Fuck Samsung A range

Even their Galaxy flagships are shit if you are unfortunate to get the Exynos version

[empty wren]

Not sure if Reno will have another sharkfin camera though

But not much options besides an old phone

[empty wren]

Technically if your phone does not have an ip rating could disassemble it

[wheat plume]

I cant even begin to figure out how TF to open this phone

[empty wren]

Um not for a novice since it usually involves heat and prying these days

[wheat plume]

yeah...

true

This phone is thin AF considering the large ass battery capacity

[astral haven]

The competent way of coding it is pixel based
Above a certain threshold of vertices per pixel you drop to a lower lod

[astral haven]

It's not a good deal
It's a luxury product
I'm pretty sure he was very clear about that

[ashen spindle]

hmm not always, im pretty sure in unity it's purely based on distance to camera last I checked

[shadow minnow]

It’s just marketing I guess. And not that good marketing
Panel itself is very expensive

[astral haven]

🤷‍♂️ noone has ever accused unity of being a competent engine

[astral haven]

Panel is cheap
The milled garbo tier aluminum is expensive

[shadow minnow]

Nope

I kinda know the price

And it’s higher than you would think

Is what I can say

[astral haven]

I know the price of the panel is cheap because the same panel is on alooot cheaper devices

Lcds are cheaaaaaap

[shadow minnow]

It’s not the panel itself that’s really expensive

Mostly backlight

And what controls it

Tbf price probably got better now

[astral haven]

The backlight isn't part of the panel

[shadow minnow]

Yeah didn’t state it correctly

But backlight + it’s control costs a lot esentially.
Not sure about panel. Forgot exact price. But it’s really not low.

[astral haven]

And if an enthusiast built a better backlight controller in a 1300 monitor using dual fpgas, its not expensive to make

And the fpgas cost like 250 each

[misty saffron]

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/big-sabotage-famous-npm-package-deletes-files-to-protest-ukraine-war/

degenerate cunt

[crimson wigeon]

lol npm nonsense at it again

how do js devs keep doing it

[shadow minnow]

I genuinely have known the exact, though not directly from apple. Like sure may have changed by now. But it’s high up even without monitor enclosure.
Tbf balcklight development really gone forward. But back then it was… not cheap.

[astral haven]

Ikas the zisworks was released in like 2016

And there is no way to get actual price data that apple pays for apple customized parts

The grey market pays about 1.5x and official sources pay 5x+

So you can safely divide any "official price" you have by 4 and still think of it as an overestimate

[astral haven]

We know these ratios from customized parts that were physically identical besides part number

[ashen spindle]

the xdr wasn't highr framerate though, 60 was max

[shadow minnow]

Phone too now. Makes me wonder when will they bring it to iMacs

[ashen spindle]

even there its not really high framereate

since the pixel response time on macs is horrendously bad

black smear while scrolling a site isn't a game though and looks shit on those screens

[shadow minnow]

Hmm haven’t noticed myself tbh

I can kinda notice large response time looking at the tests

[ashen spindle]

bro we had this talk months ago already im not repeating it

[shadow minnow]

But when not looking for it just not noticeable for me

But yeah I agree it’s there

Didn’t realize back then

The response time is bad

Just my eyes too aparently

[ashen spindle]

take random frame from video and you see insane ghosting

[shadow minnow]

Yeah

[shadow minnow]

Like tbh still don’t notice it unless looking for it or running the ufo test stuff but when running it I definitely can see response time not being good

Or well not response time

But you know what I mean

[ashen spindle]

sure but I'm not driving to the office to make a picture of something I can confirm to notice lol

[shadow minnow]

Just saying I only notice it when looking for it but yeah it is bad. When looking for it could definitely notice it being bad

[ashen spindle]

I dont need tiny screens for gaming or work

https://fxtwitter.com/andreif7/status/1452622025550438403

[shadow minnow]

Ngl for me kinda made me use 27” monitors less since even though they weren’t the cheapest the backlight especially couldn’t match the mini led

[ashen spindle]

I mean I have an ultrawide and a second screen, mabook would just be a weird fitting third screen lol

[shadow minnow]

Doesn’t fit next to other other screens well ngl

[ashen spindle]

also no plans to make any project run on mac so I'd just waste time for myself lol

[shadow minnow]

But alone it’s pretty good though small indeed

Well the QD OLED one looks pretty good

😦

[astral haven]

Well
Black space in the pixel array is a good thing as long as you are retina

See the wall

Only way to get past 20k:1 static contrast is with areas to absorb light between pixels

[astral haven]

But that pixel pattern is definetly peculiar

Very Samsung tho so not surprising

[misty saffron]

windows doesn’t either

[shadow minnow]

I would maybe blame VRAM

But idk

[ashen spindle]

look at the error log

[shadow minnow]

Same error I get when I try to install Windows 10 to parallels

And I think there is some issue with sth graphical when it comes to why win 10 doesn’t work on parallels

Though not sure

[cursive summit]

I'm pretty sure it's the typical "hamper client performance" tactic so that Windows would force me to install their damn updates

nah both rtings and tftcentral bought it and are waiting

[fickle ore]

linus's review was garbo didnt even bother to link it

yeah didnt even look if they would make one since they wouldn't make a in depth video about it

[wheat plume]

There is just something ironic about using Flatpak to install an AppImage launcher...

[ashen spindle]

@fickle ore talked with someone and they mentioned the text might look like that because Cleartype expects a different sub pixel layout, so a custom profile or so might fix issues if necessary

yeah, flatpaks are neat other than not following the GTK theme most of the time

this didnt help....

how do I make it show the names of them???? the most important detail damn it

yep.....seems to only want to show all the name when its literally MAXIMISED

"Gtk theme" is Fluent GTK theme

it still doesnt use that theme for some reason

TBF
Once GTK4 + LibAdwaita fully releases, I probably wont use any other theme than that

cause im trying it out in a GnomeOS VM and its really good looking

o.0

Idk what's more weird, a reason to actually use Edge or Edge being on Linux

@wheat plume

[wheat plume]

....ofc they only allow Edge

but who wants to infect their SteamOS install with that shit? XD

wait

do you need to be using Windows on it?

[pale sigil]

No

[wheat plume]

oo

[pale sigil]

Edge is on Linux

[wheat plume]

Yeah, Im aware

but this is Microsoft, I just expected them to make it Windows only for this new thing

[pale sigil]

Oh nice

Chrome supports it

They worked together to get it working

[wheat plume]

yeah but you cant use the built in Deck controllers

@CJGluckstein Big thanks to the Google Chrome team for working with us on fixing controller input as part of this. The change is now in Chrome Beta as well, and is continuing to make its way into stable release:

[wheat plume]

got to use an xbox one

[pale sigil]

You can

[wheat plume]

oo...they changed that

??

[pale sigil]

It's fully supported for the deck

[wheat plume]

So, you can use Game Pass oN Chrome and not Edge now?

[pale sigil]

Yes

[wheat plume]

as much as im not a windows fan, I still prefer Xbox over Playstation

by a long margin xd

[pale sigil]

I'm so happy how successful the deck is

[wheat plume]

ikr :D

tbf, its basically a console in terms of game support

One device

one set of specs

easy to optimise for like a regular console

the only spec that changes is the storage size

[ashen spindle]

Im so confused why xbox cloud gaming is always the thing people talk about but not PS Now which does the same stuff but exists longer iirc

[misty saffron]

because microsoft doesn’t charge an arm and a leg to play a game

[wheat plume]

Can Stadia be considered a virtual console?

Since its like one, you use controller, you need to rebuy all your games on Stadia to play them

and some games arent on there

[ashen spindle]

But ps now has ps exclusive games you can play on pc and xbox cloud only has games you can play on pc anyway

[halcyon moss]

new humble bundle has insane value and supports ukraine!

[wheat plume]

how do install games from humble?

just run them from the folder?

Dear gedit devs....

Why is the highlight SOLID WHITE??????

cant see shit on the line you want to edit, and this is enabled by default

[halcyon moss]

its usually a steam key

[wheat plume]

ahh

[halcyon moss]

but in this case there are a few gog and one rockstar key

[wheat plume]

r* o?

[ashen spindle]

massive die size difference lol, though it also has the memory under the M1 package

[young pecan]

PS Now is also shit and locked to certain countries.

Honestly I’d love to play it. But no.

No fuck you, Australia isn’t a country.

-_-

Seeing how much pressure he had to apply to get the screw turned....make me very nervous

Que

They didn't release 3090Ti yet?

Isn't this shit like 10% at most faster than 3090

At... 2.5x the price?

[wheat plume]

almost as expensive as my car....

[ashen spindle]

3090 kingpin was already 3grand so thats no surprise

[crimson wigeon]

What if you set the env var _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
(e.g. launch it like _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 arduinoidewhatever)

No it's just I've had the same problem with other java software

[ashen spindle]

bc java sucks

[crimson wigeon]

It expects the window manager to add borders or decoration or whatever, if your window manager doesn't do that it gets confused, or some dumb shit like that

[wheat plume]

Oo

Like back in the olden days

[misty saffron]

“it gets confused”

the universal explanation

[ashen spindle]

can you use normal pc hardware as a pc? yes

there saved you a click

[wheat plume]

Ikr

This is more an intro to what apps are in Linux and more accurate, flatpak and appimage

[ashen spindle]

ok so clickbait using the steam deck to get views about something completely else

even worse

[wheat plume]

Well
It's what you can do on the deck without removing the immutable system

[ashen spindle]

ok so just semi pointless and semi clickbait

[wheat plume]

If you already know what apps are available on Linux and therefore a steam deck
Then yes
Clickbait

[ashen spindle]

That is not what the question implies though

a more generic question that interrest more people but in reality it just looks at a smaller section

textbook clickbait imo
