[misty saffron]

if you're jailbroken

[ashen spindle]

yes the non apple tools are nice if you dont want to build an actual app you might want to have on the app store at some point

[misty saffron]

it's GREAT google provides tools to do it "officially" on android

but why the fuck does it have to be 1000 steps???

[shadow minnow]

Haven’t needed any to do any programming in Xcode. Sure to release apps yes and it sucks just wouldn’t call it a Xcode thing, more App Store thing

[ashen spindle]

I really dont understand why you are trying to defend something when you aren't even sure what I mean

[shadow minnow]

Idk just never encountered that issue. What exactly do you mean?

[ashen spindle]

when you have to use xcode to recompile something and it says there is a license error or so

tons of results on google with equal amounts of solutions that may or may not work if the stars align or not

been a while since I last used it, error is still known and has been a source of annoyance for people for years if you're not lucky and have it work

[timid needle]

Anyone knowing stuff about headsets? I'm debating between Astro A40 TR Mixamp 2019 and Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless.
I play Valorant & LoL (sound I guess doesnt matter for league of legends anyways). My budget is ~250€. Some guy knows whats the best I can get for that price? If theres something better than the two headsets above I would also consider it. I actually don't care about the headset being wireless or not I'm just unsure because the arctis also got an overall better sound rating on rtings.com thats why I'm considering it

[astral haven]

Oh god

Do you need wireless?

As a former owner of an arctis pro I can assure you that it is the worst audio product I have ever owned

If you want audio quality that blows both of those out of the water get the $40 kz zex pro and a Samson go mic

[wheat plume]

Or get the HyperX Clouds 2
They sound wonderful and the mic is pretty ok too

[astral haven]

If you need wireless the only gaming option is the Logitech g pro x

Ye cloud 2 / cooler master mh752 /takstar pro 82
All the same thing p much and really good

[wheat plume]

HyperX made a new wireless one recently that's got really great battery life it seems

[astral haven]

The audio quality is best described as recognizeable

Of the cloud flights

[wheat plume]

Oo... I have the mh752
Mic is fantastic on them
Audio is clean af too but flat, so if you don't like flat audio, don't get them

[astral haven]

????

[wheat plume]

What

[astral haven]

It is very significantly v shaped compared to harman

And Harman is usually considered to be bass heavy

[wheat plume]

They are pretty flat sounding to me

Sometimes they like vocals in some music

[astral haven]

Maybe compared to earbuds they might be flat

But compared to most references they are generally considered to be boosted lows and highs to the point of making most things sound good

I really like my set but I would nooooot call them flat

[wheat plume]

Ok...
I can agree a bit on boosted highs

But they dont have bass

Well

... Not a lot

[astral haven]

It's more than neutral

[wheat plume]

Really??

Just barely I feel

[astral haven]

It's not like the arctis pro where everything under 40hz is missing
And it's solidly more than my hd6xx

[wheat plume]

O.o

Oh hmm

[astral haven]

Its noticeably less than consumer standard boost but it's still boosted vs neutral harman

[wheat plume]

I like a bit more bass as long as it's crisp and doesn't sacrifice other parts of the sound

[astral haven]

Ye

And you can definetly eq them to have a bit more bass if you want

[wheat plume]

I think I prefer the sound profile of the clouds 2 over the mh752
But they are both fine with me

[astral haven]

unit to unit variance

The cloud 2 are takstar pro 80s and the mh752 are takstar pro 82s

The differences between them are mostly in the headband

And mic ofc

[wheat plume]

Oo....

[astral haven]

But they use a very similar driver

[wheat plume]

Right...I forgot OEMs existed for a moment reading your comment

[astral haven]

And again eq to your liking

None of these headsets are missing frequencies outright like the arctis or earpods

[wheat plume]

Ok... I definitely prefer Cooler Master's color scheme

[astral haven]

I believe the 752 is +2 at 60hz vs Harman vs the +6? of earpods

Oh yea
Cooler master customizations we're for the better
But the two things that were the best from the takstar are the earpads and the driver, and they kept both

Tldr @timid needle avoid wireless if possible
If you need wireless get the logitech
Wired has a bunch of great options

[wheat plume]

These headphones get a bit uncomfy after a while for me against my ears

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/razer-lambda-tensorbook-linux-machine-learning-laptop

Oooo....
I like it

[timid needle]

I don't need wireless actually i was just considering because it had a good rating on rtings.com
What would you say is the best option for me then when playing Valorant & LoL for at maximum 250€.
I prefer a mic that on the headset tho.

[astral haven]

Can highly recommend any of the takstar oems
Mh751/2
Hyperx cloud 1/2

That's really the best you get for headsets(with mic)

For 250 I think you can get Sennheiser hd 560s + Samson go mic portable
Nice plug and play with fantastic audio quality

Not all in 1 but way better quality audio

[timid needle]

So the high price audio headset like arctis pro and a40 are like not even better soundwise? lol
Should i get an usb soundcard with the hyperx cloud 2 or is the headset alone good enough

[pale sigil]

Most headsets are a scam

To be brutally honest

[astral haven]

If you need something to plug the cloud 2 into, get the apple USB c to 3.5 adapter, it supports headsets
If you don't have a USB c, get a USB c to a adapter

[pale sigil]

Hyper x are kinda a rare situation

Were price for performance is actually alright

[astral haven]

Because they are a proper good set of headphones that just got a mic glued on

[pale sigil]

Ye

Pretty much

[wheat plume]

I'm enjoying my MH752s a lot

[pale sigil]

Corsair voids

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-comedy-ryan-reynolds-gross-sick-gif-3496531

[wheat plume]

Bonus, you don't need software to use them
And they work on every OS just the same

[timid needle]

I'm currently using Razer Kraken 7.1 v2 which literally aren't being produced anymore since like 3 years

[pale sigil]

Krakens

Are um

[astral haven]

I like the 752 as well
Prefer them to the clouds
But headphones in general are just too hot for my sweaty ears

[pale sigil]

Budget krakens are OK

[astral haven]

They produce audio at least?

[pale sigil]

The super budget ones

[astral haven]

They really aren't ok

[wheat plume]

Lol
Yeah
You'll be happy with the HyperX Clouds 2 or the CoolerMaster mh752

[pale sigil]

The 30 euro ones aren't terrible

[astral haven]

Sony earbuds with built in mic are waaaaaaay better

[pale sigil]

They do an OK job if you're wanting a headset

I don't disagree

[astral haven]

The Sony earbuds are alot better

At being a headset

[pale sigil]

I'm just saying they are ok

[timid needle]

Well my only requirement for headsets before was that I'm able to hear peoples steps in shooters ^^

[pale sigil]

All virtual

[astral haven]

All you need is earbuds then of decent quality

[pale sigil]

Earbuds also suck for me personally

You'd never see me use them regularly

[timid needle]

Yeah the 7.1 is virtual on most headset but are earbuds able to do virtual 7.1? Like do I even know from what like direction the steps are coming from then

[pale sigil]

But that's a fault of my shitty ears

[pale sigil]

Virtual so yes

[astral haven]

The games do it already

Valorant has hrtf built in

[timid needle]

I think the only headset with real 7.1 was the Tiamat 7.1 v2? but the 7.1 sound was literally worse than virtual 7.1

[pale sigil]

Razer do all their stuff via software

Same with other companies

[astral haven]

The tiamat was also fake

[pale sigil]

Still pretty cool tho

[astral haven]

They just put in extra drivers to pretend it was real

[pale sigil]

But a lot of the times all its doing is upping lower sounds

And washing out normal

[wheat plume]

I think the virtual 7.1 is not really that good on any headphones
But the mh752 has the better implementation

[astral haven]

It's a good idea
But the problem is you still need to to the transfer

[astral haven]

Yea the 752 has the best virtual 7.1
It's literally just a slight bass and treble boost
Nothing else

Works perfectly

[timid needle]

most companies also advertise with their low and high headphone frequency response but i feel like it literally doesnt matter lol

[astral haven]

They are also usually misleading

Ok it produces 20hz?
Sure but how many db quieter than 60hz?

[pale sigil]

I don't have a large range of experience though tbf, I only used mx50s and K612 pros

I've had other stuff but not really on the same level

[wheat plume]

You also think the clouds 2 sound like trash....

[pale sigil]

I did try them wonderful skull candy bass headphones they practically fell off my head

[pale sigil]

I do, kinda.

Felt very flat

[astral haven]

My range is strange
I've tried alot of Sennheiser stuff
Currently using hifimans
Alot of Sony Inc the 755 and tws
Akg tws along with samsung
And ofc the 752

[pale sigil]

But also I feel like some fuckery was going on

When I tried them

As j revisted them

[astral haven]

The m50x are painful to listen to
I also got to try Beyer's from a friend and they were very nice

[pale sigil]

In what way are they painful to listen too

[timid needle]

Is there any difference between "gaming" headsets and studio headsets or its literally just marketing to make you feel like gaming is better for gaming although they are not?

[astral haven]

You listen to things, then you get ear fatigue

[pale sigil]

What's ear fatigue

Gaming headsets should just be skipped entirely

Just get good headphones with a mod mic or external mic

I can hear footsteps better than most of my friends

[wheat plume]

Gaming headsets mostly mean they have mics built-in and look really shitty and gamery

They also may not have the audio profile suitable for studio use

[astral haven]

There are 2 types of studio headphones
Accurate and precise
The accurate cans sound nice to listen to
The precise cans tell you every single error you made with your music (so you can fix it)

M50x are precise

Def useful tool for audio engineers

[timid needle]

Is the Astro A40 with MixAmp 2019 trash compared to MH752?

[pale sigil]

There's just something about the m50xs I miss so much

[astral haven]

But listen to strings for an hour and you get a headache

[pale sigil]

I didn't xD

[astral haven]

Just avoid astro

[pale sigil]

Astro is so bad lol

Astro are just like turtle beach

Except they outlived them

[wheat plume]

Turtle beach are alive here still :/

[astral haven]

Like coming from the razers they will be fine
But the Sony $20 earbuds are better sound quality

[timid needle]

For now I've just been using rtings.com went to Headsets > Gaming > All Reviews > Sort by Wired Gaming Points
And I looked at the best rated xD

[astral haven]

Eh

[pale sigil]

You mean the sites that make money from ref links

[astral haven]

Ratings is good
For displays

[timid needle]

well makes sense now that its the most expensive ones being the best then xD

[pale sigil]

Just don't spend tons on a headset if you insist is all ill say

[astral haven]

Their headphone measurements are fine
The problem is analyzing measurements for headphones hasn't yet been perfected (unlike displays)

[pale sigil]

Because in the end of the day it's simply not worth it.

[astral haven]

Ratings only does measurements

[pale sigil]

If you want virtual stuff you're best sticking to hyper x cloud 2s

[astral haven]

Mh752 better :P

[pale sigil]

Or the ones from mass drop

[astral haven]

Oh yea there are the massdrop sennheisers

The 38x are apparently super good at positioning

I have the 37x and they are good

[pale sigil]

Forgot about the mh752

[astral haven]

It's sad how hard they are to get :(

[pale sigil]

The only problem with drop is it costs a crap ton for EU plebs

[astral haven]

Not always

[wheat plume]

What

[astral haven]

Sometimes y'all get a killer deal

[pale sigil]

No

[wheat plume]

I got mine from Amazon DE :')

[pale sigil]

We aren't on ahout yours

We are on ahout massdrop headphones

[astral haven]

The koss estats were available for half the us price for a while

[wheat plume]

Oh

[pale sigil]

Even a good price doesn't mean the final price is good

You get royally fucked with imports, tax etc

[timid needle]

Is it worth taking the MH752 with V-Moda BoomPro mic or just use the standard mic?

[astral haven]

Built in is better than the boompro

If you are willing to get a boompro, get 38x or get a serious set of headphones+ boompro

[timid needle]

amazon trying to get my money with them bundles

[astral haven]

But the dual wire life is pain

How much does the cooler master mh752 currently cost?

[timid needle]

https://www.amazon.de/Cooler-Master-MH752-Headset-Full-Size/dp/B09532525J/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2EQ7ADH3UF2AH&keywords=MH752&qid=1649902852&sprefix=mh752%2Caps%2C71&sr=8-3&th=1
For me its 70€

[astral haven]

I would just get that

[wheat plume]

Yeah...
When I was getting mine, it wanted me to get that mic also
But I looked up reviews and the mic they come with is better xd

[pale sigil]

Talking £50 just to get $300 headphones on drop

[astral haven]

Check the price of the Sennheiser 38x but the mh752 are fantastic unless you sweat alooot

[pale sigil]

On top of $300 best case

[astral haven]

For eu stock?

Or for na stock

[wheat plume]

Get them without the extra mic

[astral haven]

Yea the boompro is worse than stock

[wheat plume]

^^

[pale sigil]

Drop doesn't do eu stock

[astral haven]

They do

[pale sigil]

They tried and shut it down

[astral haven]

Oh
They fully stopped?

[pale sigil]

It crashed and burned in a few months

It also cost more to buy than just importing and payimg tax

[timid needle]

if I buy them im definitely gonna get them without the extra mic ^^

[pale sigil]

It was a complete utter joke

[astral haven]

I thought they were still doing it through Amazon but I guess not

[wheat plume]

👍

[pale sigil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/eaqz6y/dropcom_will_be_shutting_down_its_euwarehouse_for/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[astral haven]

Yea not available on Amazon uk any more

[timid needle]

well only things im gonna need now is keyboard which is most likely gonna be the wooting two he and mouse I'm currently considering viper 8khz

[pale sigil]

Pretty much morons

[timid needle]

yeah I looked up 38x can buy it from amazon but for 450€ lol

[astral haven]

Wellllll
Doing business in the EU is pain

[astral haven]

Screw that lmao

[pale sigil]

They treated it like they were doing us a favor by charging us more than the US and more than just importing in the first place.

[wheat plume]

They on sale!!

[pale sigil]

Mate, most headphone companies are EU based LMFAO

[astral haven]

No they arent

[pale sigil]

Most of the drop ones I mean

[astral haven]

They are allllll Chinese manufactured now

[pale sigil]

Yes but the companies themselves

We're EU companies mostly

[astral haven]

That's not what matters at all

[pale sigil]

Oh I'm ware

Aware

Just saying it was stupid

[astral haven]

Vat only costs if you enter the EU
You get the money back if you are staying within the eu

[pale sigil]

Overcharging EU customers by an EU company

Ik

[astral haven]

Nothing they can do about it 🤷

[pale sigil]

Keyboard company

But still somehow make it work.

All regions pay the same price for a wooting.

Ish

[astral haven]

Not according to exchange rates :P

USD to eur isn't 1:1

Not even close

[pale sigil]

Obviously not on the same scale though

[timid needle]

What do you guys think about the Creative SoundBlaster X H7?

[astral haven]

According to the IRS a dollar is .8ur

[pale sigil]

Well yes but wootings are made using USD but still mostly remain the same price with minor adjustments every few years

[astral haven]

The best soundcard that is worth getting is the apple audio adapter

[pale sigil]

^ us version preferred tho

[astral haven]

But the mh752 comes with a fantastic one

[pale sigil]

I got two bought when my friend went to texas lol

[astral haven]

Iirc that only matters on phones
On PC it's not limited?

[pale sigil]

Difference is crazy vs EU

[astral haven]

It's just a power limit

[pale sigil]

Eu version is quieter

[astral haven]

Dac is the same

Ye

[pale sigil]

Tis what I mean

[astral haven]

But does that apply on PC?

And you can always buy an amplifier

[pale sigil]

Pretty sure it does yes, at least I'm pretty certain based on the headphones, I noticed I reduced it

Lemmi try

[astral haven]

Obviously I only have the us version lmao

[astral haven]

I know that you can use an app to bypass the limit on android

[pale sigil]

40% is loud on spofity at 100% with US

[astral haven]

I have about $1500 in audio gear
And my absolute favorite sound quality comes with $7 earbuds from eBay and the apple adapter I got for $8

It's such a shame the mh755 has vanished

[timid needle]

competitive csgo would look fun with these lol

[astral haven]

Like the crazy part is I'm talking about music

[timid needle]

yeah was just joking anyways

[astral haven]

Heck I spent more on the extension cable than the buds themselves

[timid needle]

even if it was good for gaming would never happen because of sponsors

[astral haven]

It does happen

Look closely at the ears in tournaments

They are wearing earbuds under the headsets

[pale sigil]

its deffo lounder

[timid needle]

lol i just realized wtf

[astral haven]

Wow that's scuffed

So just use the one that comes with the mh752
The mh751 is the 3.5 one
The mh752 is usb

[pale sigil]

id say about 20%

like its significant enough to notice

at 40% volume in windows 100% Spotify

EU is pretty lowish and chill vs US its a lot louder and id have to turn it down

this would be so much easier if i had two usb c ports

xD

[astral haven]

Out of all this, the best is also the cheapest

[pale sigil]

4am

-_-

i still use my scarlette pro though

mainly because of the physical aspect of it

[astral haven]

I have a 2i2 and it's awful

[pale sigil]

and why is that

[astral haven]

The balanced out sounds tinny

[pale sigil]

then yours is faulty

xD

[astral haven]

And the headphone out is hissy

Nah it's known issue

[pale sigil]

or you're using the mirror thing

[astral haven]

I use an sdac b as my main dac into a 789

[timid needle]

Do headphones overall have better sound quality than earbuds? Saw a video with pros and cons and he said headphones have better sound quality because more place for drivers etc. is that true?

[astral haven]

Define quality

[pale sigil]

eh well regardless

i dont have any issues and its 1:1 with my dongle

[timid needle]

well lets say in terms of clear sound

[astral haven]

It's an issue specifically with the 2i2 and the other balanced units
Most other units dont have the issue

[pale sigil]

oh

mines quite old

[astral haven]

Clarity is better on earbuds at the same price
If you specifically buy high focused earbuds

The only thing that earbuds are bad at is producing sounds that sound like they are far away even if the audio isn't trying to create that effect

Headphones can make audio sound "more spacious" physically instead of having to rely on it digitally

But
If you are gaming, all games are making it sound far away digitally already
You don't need the extra headphone effect

[timid needle]

So whats the best earbuds for competitive valorant/csgo

[astral haven]

Probably andromedas

Hear every last detail without it being painful

The kz zex pro will take all the details and shove them into your ear canals forcefully

[timid needle]

what are the best in max price range to 250€ 😄

[astral haven]

Again it's hard to say what's best
If you just want to hear everything, try out the zex pros
They are rather painful for alot of types of music tho
But if you want to hear footsteps? Youll hear them and you'll be able to tell where they are coming from

The Sony generic earbuds are very good at being extremely generic without sacrificing too much detail
It's very hard to dislike them sound wise

[timid needle]

Im gonna try out the zex pros i think

[astral haven]

The biggest problem with earbuds is comfort
Really that's the part that is most forgotten on audio
All the stuff that is good is good, what's really important is comfort
That's why the mh752 are so amazing
It's like wearing clouds on your ears
Earbuds are only really comfortable for some people
Alot of people just can't put stuff in their ears or it hurts

[pale sigil]

my friend is deaf or some shit, i showed him my k612 pros on 100% on eu dongle ... he said it was quiet for him

[astral haven]

I'm super lucky
I can stuff whatever fits in and I don't have any problems

[timid needle]

Or I just order both and try what I like more

[pale sigil]

i was like bruh i can throw my headphones across the room and sitill hear shit

[astral haven]

The zex don't come with a mic (unless they do now)?

[timid needle]

Whats a mic i could use with the zex pros that dont have to be in front of my face / screen all the time for people to hear me

In terms of background noise im using nvidia broadcast anyways which seems to work quiet fine for now

[astral haven]

Samson go mic portable

Ooh even better
With broadcast you can set the Samson go at max gain behind your monitor even and broadcast gets rid of the typing noise

That's my current setup

[young pecan]

Which gen of 2i2 do you have? Mine is a gen 2 and hasn't had that problem.

[timid needle]

I'm gonna order Samson Go Mic portable + Zex Pros
For being on the safe side what would be headphones without mic that are good for ~150€

[astral haven]

Gen 3

[young pecan]

Ah.

That might be it.

[astral haven]

How much are Sennheiser hd560s now?

[timid needle]

The headphones should also mainly be good for competitive csgo / valorant

wait i check

159€

[astral haven]

I'd recommend that tbh

[young pecan]

Honestly 6XX/58X/560.

Whatever in that stack you can get for that price, all will do fine.

[astral haven]

Yup

Definetly prefer the 560s vs the 6xx and 58x tho

[young pecan]

What'd you like more?

[astral haven]

Bass rolloff, comfort, and durability

The 6xx I had to replace the pads twice :(

[young pecan]

I just immediately went for the Dekoni pads.

EQ'd my shit.

[timid needle]

Do I need a mixer or something for the 560s or is my pc port enough

[astral haven]

Heck naw
Sennheiser stock sound is faaaantastic

[astral haven]

Should be fine
The 560s only requires power
If it's loud enough it's fine

[young pecan]

With any of the above you can run them off a motherboard, using an amp will drive them better however.

[astral haven]

Disagree

6xx sounds worse without an amp
But the 560s is just volume

[young pecan]

Lmao naaaaah. The 6XX sounds way muddier without an amp.

Just can't drive properly.

[pale sigil]

You just repeated what he said

[young pecan]

Also yeah I agree. Dekonis make them sound quieter and worse until you cut out the weird little foam bit. Then the sound returns to normal after a bit of EQ. Just more comfortable.

[astral haven]

With the 6xx it's because the impedance is super all over the place
The 560s is designed to run off of anything, even stuff with hissy amps.
Because of that the 560s works great on anything
And anything too weak to drive it will just be quieter

[young pecan]

Mm, this is true but with an amp it'll still drive better. Not much better in the case of the 560s, but better nonetheless.

Well, depending on the mobo.

If you're using a really nice mobo then it's negligible unless you do valves.

[astral haven]

Tldr if you hear hiss or it's too quiet, then think about an amp@timid needle

[final flame]

The 6xx sounds good out of an apple dongle you really don't need too much, Tuning wont really be affected
It just scales well

[timid needle]

I can buy a bundle with the Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S V2 for +30€ worth or not?

Also I could get an ModMic for +59€

[astral haven]

Don't bother

[pale sigil]

Just ^

[young pecan]

Yeah defo don't bother.

Honestly get used to the headphones first, get used to the sound then decide if you want to change it somewhere.

[timid needle]

I mean if its just volume its still nicer to decide to make it louder if i like and if its too loud i still have the option to lower the volume

[final flame]

Just

[astral haven]

If you want a dac, this is the dac to get
Separate dac and amp if you want
It's heresy but I really like my k10's bass boost switch

[young pecan]

The biggest difference will be in a nice amp, valves change the noise radically, solid state sometimes changes it.

[astral haven]

K3 goodness not k10 oops

[young pecan]

If you like a warmer tone, go for valve, if you like a more clinical sound, go for solid state.

[final flame]

valve you mean tube?

[astral haven]

Yea

Tube meh

[young pecan]

Tubes are great. Overrated but great.

[astral haven]

Very preferential and wasteful

[young pecan]

Exactly this.

[astral haven]

I like the bass boost switch of the sonys and fiio

[pale sigil]

I still crave bass

But most I've tried just sounds bleh

Hard to get clear bass

[young pecan]

I went for a Siemens E88CC from '65, honestly one of my better choices.

[final flame]

personally I like my magni and modi 3, I want to get a used non fazor lcd-2 soon, or eventually

[young pecan]

If it breaks I'm absolutely buying another one.

[astral haven]

Sony clearbass +2 👍

100% the reason my daily driver is the wf1000xm4s

Zero other reasons

[final flame]

Literal Bassshelf

[pale sigil]

Did you just suggest a glorified equaliser

And not actual headphones lol

[astral haven]

I haven't been able to recreate the effect in eq tho

[final flame]

Man sonys naming scheme makes me mad

[astral haven]

It's not even glorified
It's straight up eq

[pale sigil]

Also aren't sony overpriced/overrated mostly

Unless you're going in thr super expensive range

[young pecan]

Yeh.

They're best on the market for noise isolation, that's why they get the hype.

[astral haven]

And?

[pale sigil]

I'd rather not overpay for items lol

[astral haven]

Clearbass+2 on the xm4 tws is exactly the sound curve I like

[final flame]

Personally I just use my starfields almost everywhere, Better than anything true wireless will offer with little compromise if you don't mind a cable

[pale sigil]

Also earbuds

In your case

I'd never bother

[timid needle]

@astral haven should I buy HD560s with Samson Go Mic for 30€ or Antlion ModMic for 60€

[astral haven]

What
I'd go with the Samson go for $70 lol

[final flame]

Samson go is fairly good if you have a place to put it

[young pecan]

Where are you using this?

[pale sigil]

My ears just aren't compatible with earbuds

[young pecan]

Like if you can put it somewhere it ain't bad.

[pale sigil]

The only things I can tolerate are apples shape

But we'll

Well

Apple

[astral haven]

Ew

[pale sigil]

XD

[timid needle]

Im in my own room so no real noise in the background but im using nvidia broadcast for background noise anyways

[pale sigil]

So I would rather not but they fit perfect in my ear regardless

[young pecan]

In that case buy a Rode NT-USB from marketplace.

[final flame]

My 2nd Daily commute iem

[astral haven]

Disagree

[young pecan]

Your thoughts?

[pale sigil]

My ears hurt just looking at them

[astral haven]

Go mic has muuch better long distance pickup

[final flame]

it cancels basically everything
who needs noise cancelling when you have the er2

[pale sigil]

What earbuds are they

[astral haven]

For convenience, long distance is really nice

[final flame]

er2 xr

[young pecan]

It's being used in a room and is compatible with booms.

Doesn't need sniper distance.

[astral haven]

I like mine
But they are very invading

[final flame]

xr = extended response = slight bass bump
sr = pure neutral sound

[pale sigil]

Bruh

They are so big

[astral haven]

Nah

[final flame]

not really

[astral haven]

They are tiny

But they go deeeeep

[final flame]

lemme get a reference

[pale sigil]

Omg

Omg

[young pecan]

They look like the tool an alien uses to prep you for an anal probe.

[pale sigil]

My ears hurt

I googled them

How do you cope

They go so deep

[astral haven]

They are insanely comfortable compared to what they look like

They are the standard swimmer earplug shape as a reference

[pale sigil]

Which I can't use either xD

My ears are shit :(

[astral haven]

🤷

[final flame]

starburst for reference

[astral haven]

You can always get moulds for them

[young pecan]

These look like they just would not stay in your ear unless they were custom eartips.

[astral haven]

Nah

They are a very good fit

[final flame]

nah they wont come out ever on their own

[pale sigil]

I just wear headphones or well used to

When I'm out

[young pecan]

I just don't go outside for extended periods.

[pale sigil]

I had backup earbuds in my bag too

Something weird when it comes to hobbies and weebs

[final flame]

I have too many hobbies

[pale sigil]

Steam Is full of weebs, audiophiles are weebs and some other places

[final flame]

that's fair

[pale sigil]

Devs

Usually major weebs

Github also full of weebs

[astral haven]

Don't we all

[pale sigil]

Minecraft plugin devs are 80% weebs

Learned that during wootup

[young pecan]

Weebs are just the Japanese revenge for the nukes.

The US ruined 2 cities, Japan ruined their entire generation.

Just give them some high res audio

Rhythm games aka osu

[final flame]

I play mostly etterna and osu

[young pecan]

Lmfao

Osu is probably the single weebiest game in the world with a huge playerbase.

[final flame]

That's why my bio says vsrg
vertical scrolling rhythm game

[pale sigil]

Knives is also mostly weebish

[final flame]

[pale sigil]

Keyboards is sadly very weebish in some regards

[young pecan]

you're just going to find weebs everywhere deal with it

no hobby is free from it

[pale sigil]

even cars and guns lol

[pale sigil]

I used to be normal but weebs took over my college experience

[young pecan]

Tho y'know what? We can all agree that some weebs are worse than others.

I'm ok if you watch anime and reference it in jokes. Coolio.

But when you start trying to learn Japanese from anime and buy statues...

Into the gulag with you.

[final flame]

I tend to keep anime out of convos I know it wont fit

[young pecan]

You have gone too far, just like people buying fursuits. There's a limit and you fucking reach it.

No no.

There is a limit and you blow way past it.

[pale sigil]

Weebs made watching anime a sin

[young pecan]

And don't get me started on the zealotry.

So much of the 'good' anime is utter garbage.

Yet people still have a circlejerk over it.

[pale sigil]

I just wanna enjoy dat a live without being judged and told in a weeb

[astral haven]

Hey
I really like garbage

[final flame]

I mean I dont even watch anime much if at all anymore
last time I did It was when arifureta s2 just aired

[young pecan]

Like the garbage, but please don't continue dragging the industry down.

[final flame]

I mostly read stuff on scribblehub and other webnovels

[pale sigil]

I was expecting a reaction ngl

Because degenerate anime

[final flame]

eh I honestly don't care

[young pecan]

I can't want anime that's actually well crafted. -_-

Instead of this plot hole ridden bad character development and no world progression garbage that we have.

[final flame]

Guess I'll listen to your normie music

[pale sigil]

Demon slayer is great

[young pecan]

I'd heard that, but at this stage I've come to dislike it because nobody shuts the fuck up about it.

[pale sigil]

Csnt say I'm in a community or speak to people who would talk about it

[young pecan]

Go extra normie and put on nickelback.

[pale sigil]

I discovered it because of Netflix

Most of my anime consumption is via Netflix

M8 I think we all know the best song is the sea shanty that isn't actually a sea shanty. Wellerman.

I love how few people know that fact. :D

[astral haven]

Sea shanty inspired

[young pecan]

Wellerman doesn't have a correct timing beat and thus cannot be used as an actual sea shanty.

Like even if you tried you can't lmfao.

[final flame]

The best sea shanty

Man linebecks Theme hits hard

[timid needle]

What do you guys think is currently the best gaming mouse to use? I've heard alot good feedback about the Viper 8khz but I never used it myself

[young pecan]

What grip do you play?

[timid needle]

Claw Grip

[young pecan]

M2K is well known to be the lightest mouse for FPS gaming.

[timid needle]

I actually looked up grips and I think I even play fingertip grip if thats a real thing

[young pecan]

You could use a G Pro Lightspeed as well, I use one.

I also play claw.

[latent mural]

i have a 2080ti would a 3090ti be a huge upgrade in terms of performance?

i've been thinking of buying a 3090ti founders card

[misty saffron]

how does your wallet feel about your thoughts?

[young pecan]

Big leap but not as large of a leap as 2000 series to 4000 series.

Lovelace mid end is as good as a 3090, wait for 4090.

[latent mural]

Is a 4090real?

[young pecan]

Probably.

I see no reason it's not real.

Like we have confirmation of a 600W card with 12 GDDR6X spots.

If that isn't a 4090 idfk what it is.

[cursive summit]

Inb4 Lovelace midend is also 3090 pricing

[young pecan]

Lmao nah.

We aren't getting MSRP, but it also probably isn't going to be height of fucked GPU sales.

(I hope)

[cursive summit]

Now that the whole shitty ass craze is actually over though

MSRP is not beyond possibility

[young pecan]

Oh I wager MSRP by the end of next year at the latest.

[cursive summit]

Well from what I learned, if you want those new shits when they come out, buy them in the first few hours

[young pecan]

I'm pooling crypto cash for the release, yeh.

Gonna drop like 40 grand on cards. Probably 4080s or w/ever.

Or maybe AMD, I'll have to see the perf.

[cursive summit]

Otherwise kiss your ankles goodbye before abusive uncle Nvidia and your narco grandmother AMD smack your kneecaps in with a barbed wire bat priced at 2x MSRP

[young pecan]

Looks like performance will be similarish to 3000 anyway.

Same memory and bus width.

[cursive summit]

I don't honestly know what's more interesting this year

AM5 or next gen GPUs

[young pecan]

Neither, yee.

[cursive summit]

I can tell you what's not interesting

[young pecan]

Intel Arc.

[cursive summit]

Intel GPUs

[young pecan]

Lmfao

[cursive summit]

Like if you can get one for 20$ as a display output

They're alright

[young pecan]

Disagree.

I think they could be extremely good for mining.

[cursive summit]

https://tenor.com/view/how-dare-you-greta-thunberg-gif-15130785

[young pecan]

Efficient chips, about as powerful as a 3060 or so.

Theoretically good.

If the power draw can be lowered to around 70W~

[cursive summit]

Why tf is the cheapest 3070 STILL just below 800

Meanwhile..

[young pecan]

I just want new mining shit.

New motherboards pls.

I assume they just don't do backups of backups

Bruh c’mon. And they didn’t have cold storage?

that's not a 3070

[young pecan]

Gigashit Gaming OC.

Cringe.

Unironically the single worst first party AIB card that exists.

Imagine that. 3070Ti gigashit is the same price as the higher end 3070s.

That’s how you know somebody is cutting corners.

Actually where do you reckon that is?

What about gigabyte do you think is just heaps of corner cutting?

[cursive summit]

How's the Gigabyte one bad?

Like I had a far worse experience with MSI than Giga

And since I am planning to get an R5 5600, honestly, Aorus Elite or Master is the only one I want

Their Aorus higher end boards are godly

[old marlin]

got a gigabyte vision myself

sure is a card

[formal vortex]

never had a problem with msi stuff, i have a gigabyte aorus elite and its ok but i heard gigabyte gpus are pretty bad

[cursive summit]

Only GPU I have from them is my stock 5700 and I think my old 1050Ti, 1050Ti never caused problems

5700 though

Like I prefer to stick with AMD over Nvidia or Intel, but boy, those GPU drivers, are trash

[young pecan]

I own 37 graphics cards.

All of my gigabyte ones cause problems.

[formal vortex]

wtf

[old marlin]

[young pecan]

The only other card I have that causes me anywhere near as many as my gigabytes is an Asus RX580 that has a weird VBIOS I’m still working on.

[formal vortex]

you and your kin are the reason they are this expensive for everyone else. good job

[young pecan]

Gigashit is gigashit.

[old marlin]

any specific problems?

especially on 3000 series cards?

[young pecan]

Get fucked, you can find plenty for cheap on marketplace. Your lack of research isn’t my problem.

Dumbass.

[formal vortex]

not buying any used miner card, ty

[young pecan]

shrugs My cards are all treated excellently. Low fan RPM, excellent cooling, undervolt.

[reef patrol]

Slap a block on it and move on with life.

https://tenor.com/view/dogecoin-doge-gif-24107055

[young pecan]

They don’t like overclocking as high, their invalid share ratio is higher, changing VBIOS is annoying unless on Hive, they’re weird and iffy with reporting temps, and sometimes they need a reboot to change fan RPM correctly.

Hive makes up for a lot of their stupid problems, but they’re consistently the cards that give me the most issues.

And they also run a little hotter than anything else does.

[old marlin]

ah ok

only concerning thing for me is invalid share ratio ig

since that seems worrying

[young pecan]

It’s just the core doesn’t like clocking as high, I think.

Do note I’m talking 99.9% valid versus 98.7% valid.

Just over a percent difference.

[old marlin]

a

well

I get how it is problematic for you ig

[young pecan]

They’re just annoying to work with. Extra steps needed.

Gotta place then better for cooling, for example. Can’t have Aorus cards behind anything big like a FTW3.

The shroud is big and bulky.

Now I do have a single gigabyte card that does just work really nicely.

My RX570 Windforce just doesn’t have problems at all.

99.99% valid, great temps, wonderful overclocks, etc.

It’s defo one of the better specimens that got through the binning process.

[formal vortex]

btw 3080 down to 949 euros now. i ll wait further

[young pecan]

Honestly the biggest problem I have with gigabyte is they tend to cause system instability. I’m fine if it wants to reboot every 2 days, I’m not fine if it’s dragging almost 800MH/s with it on that process.

This lad tho is so good. :D

[old marlin]

[young pecan]

The card on the table behind it is the dickhead.

damn the 5800X3D seems GREAT

[ashen spindle]

good that I can recommend it to a friends now since he basically just plays gta 5 still lmfao

seems like the cache does fix whatever they messed up in engine almost

[misty saffron]

has to be much more effective than waiting for cockstar to fix it

[crimson wigeon]

rather have 12900KS pepeg

[cursive summit]

[astral haven]

Overclocking, frametimes, usb

[cursive summit]

[astral haven]

Fair enough
I didn't want my USB drive to work anyways

[ashen spindle]

I only use firewire sticks anyway

[ashen spindle]

wow that is impressive for flight sim

[young pecan]

With what GPU?

[ashen spindle]

idk

given its a cpu bound title even at higher rez

[young pecan]

Yee, true.

[astral haven]

Those percentiles too
Insanity

Give 5950x3d

[young pecan]

I mean the upgrades to the cache were always going to be goddamn crazy.

[astral haven]

Yea
We knew this from crystal cove
But to see it happen to amd too?
Big time good stuff

Crystal well

Not cove

[ashen spindle]

tbf I mostly view this and vcache epyc as a pipecleaner for future products so fabs and packaging get used to it and have better yields

give them some sram to stack before you go all out and have them stack entire dies lol

[astral haven]

Sure but all of Zen 3 supports this
Just give us more cache than crystal well

Like come on
Intel did pretty much the same thing as this 8 years ago
Be different by putting it on your flagship too

[ashen spindle]

well they had spots for the bonding on zen2 dies already so I dont think it was on them to have it now and only on some parts

and given how little it does in other apps than games I dont think it's currently a good sell for desktop to put it on more core chips

[astral haven]

The 5950x is absolutely a gamer chip
It doesn't have the dram bandwidth for 16 cores

[ashen spindle]

sure I just dont think having two extra slices of sram on it would make much sense

given it would have to clock even lower

[astral haven]

But if they significantly increased the cache amount?
It wouldn't be falling behind the 5800x in games any more due to starving
And the multicore scaling would improve

[pale sigil]

Am happy with my 5600x

[astral haven]

It is insanely dram bound
In sooo much stuff

[ashen spindle]

sure, but if you have to lower clocks even more than on the 5800x3d would that still make it worth it, also when keeping in mind you have to add like 100-200 in price?

[astral haven]

The 5800x has double the dram read bandwidth per core

Compared to the 5950x

A $900 5950x3d wouldn't sell as well as the 5950x itself does
But it's a halo product
And amds cost on the 5950x3d would be about 400 max assuming poor yields
They could easily sell it for 700 making a ton of money still

[ashen spindle]

the first demo they showed was on a 5900 so maybe that was the plan and if it wasnt cost maybe there were other issues having two dies with stacked cache idk

there is a limit to how much I can infer from benchmarks of other parts so I'll have to believe you in thinking it's worth it lol

[astral haven]

It's literally just that they had a ton of dead 5800x inventory and didn't want to make more
So they retooled the production to make sellable product

[ashen spindle]

one one hand I could believe it, on the other we recently heard that the production like for it got a massive capacity increase so idk if that's just balancing because they thought it was less attractive or something else

[astral haven]

??

It's a new product
Do you think they were gonna decrease production going into the release???

[ashen spindle]

no I meant an increase on the planned capacity

meh cant find it right now

[astral haven]

Yes?
And when do you think they need to start working on capacity for it?

[ashen spindle]

I mean the planned capacity/orders for the packaging line for 5800x3d got increased to much more than it was planned originally

yeah I cant find it anymore or it got deleted

was something around the line of amd at first saying they want X 5800x3ds in a month but recently that got changed to 2X for the same month

[astral haven]

🤷‍♂️

Oh yea the other thing is that the 5800x3d is very cooling limited
The 5950x3d would be alot better in that regard because of the surface area

[ashen spindle]

hmm wouldnt the opposite be the case for anything that also still needs single core performance

since the IHS would get hotter from the higher overall powerdraw

[astral haven]

The overall powerdraw isn't higher in single core apps lol

And the ihs temp doesn't really matter

[ashen spindle]

oh so so you mean if a 4 thread app uses 2 on each it's a better spread than all on one for the 5800?

[astral haven]

The temperature of each core will be lower

But that's not what will happen

2 different apps each using 1 core would do that

[ashen spindle]

err right

[astral haven]

1 single app would stay on the same ccx in theory

[ashen spindle]

or should at least for most cases yea

[astral haven]

So for 1 app doing 1 thing there's no difference

But if you have 2 processes each with 4 threads, you would have higher perf on the 5950x
And lower temps

In theory

[ashen spindle]

ig yea

[brittle perch]

Does anybody know if the wootility app works without a Wooting keyboard?

[crisp granite]

wootility is to configure wooting keyboards

it'll function on it's own
but it won't actually do anything other than look pretty lol

[ashen spindle]

no you cant use it to make other keyboards analog

if you just mean the fortnite app, yes

so more or less best gaming cpu meanwhile the 5950 is down to 500 now lol

[astral haven]

5950x3d pls

[ashen spindle]

you gotta wait for zen4 for something like that

well, unless you want to go grab an epyc heh

[shadow minnow]

You can get 5950 xd though

[ashen spindle]

meanwhile we have "smart" people saying the x3d is a bad product and shouldn't have been released lmfao

[shadow minnow]

Bet they are a kinda people who said 11900k is worth it

Which well I bought 11900k but never said its worth it

[astral haven]

What Zen 3 epyc fits in am4?

[ashen spindle]

oh, no that they dont haha

didn't really consider about keeping your board if you're looking at super high end anyway lol

[astral haven]

More focused on gaming perf

And huge sockets really hurt gaming perf

Also epyc is atrocious for idle power usage still

"known bug, no planned fix"

[ashen spindle]

well I mean I wasn't quite serious when suggesting to spend a few thousand bucks on a cpu for gaming

[astral haven]

I mean

I have a 3090
I'm not the most price conscious

[ashen spindle]

I mean even 2k on a gpu isnt as bad as4k or more on a cpu for gaming lmao

[astral haven]

And more egregiously I have a p5800x

1.6tb

And a p4800x 750gb

[ashen spindle]

well, time to get a custom server board next time that somehow enables oc I guess heh

[astral haven]

I'm so sad about tr pro being locked

Not that I would buy it

Hmm
How much does a 3175x cost now

$1200
Not bad

Actually no that's pretty bad

damn

this is not bad

[ashen spindle]

yeah the card thats out of stock has a decent price what a surprise

[pale sigil]

oh it went

but it was up for a good few min

[ashen spindle]

70 ti are all LHR so miners dont care and it's not really a great value compared to the tier above or below

so thats why those will be less scalped than other tiers

[pale sigil]

considering 3080s are 950-1000 still

My friend seems to think that Russia being banned by TSMC is fixing the gpu/chip shortage lol

[ashen spindle]

well yeah 3080s are better in every regard so they cost more

Is there a way to make chrome notifications respect DND mode on Linux?

[pale sigil]

Chrome respects no one.

[wheat plume]

🤔 I need to look at videos on how to use Anbox...

[young pecan]

Not using Bluestacks?

[wheat plume]

nah

[young pecan]

Mm. What does Anbox do better?

Never looked into this one.

[wheat plume]

idk tbh

I wanna try it

it didnt work

[young pecan]

Ah.

[wheat plume]

🤔 it makes you install a rom.... why

[young pecan]

And already this is worse than Bluestacks lmfao.

[wheat plume]

no this is the AUR being strange

even selecting 13 for plain AUR, it still tries to install from Chaotic :/

[final flame]

Bluestacks and Nox both have insane amounts of bloat so yea

[wheat plume]

Anbox is so barebones you need to use ADB to install apps :D

[young pecan]

Is that still a benefit?

Feels like that's wrapped around into being kinda annoying for no benefit.

[final flame]

Nox is somewhat decent once you remove it all and install a launcher, and block them from pinging their servers

that's what I use personally

[young pecan]

Yee.

Like not having an installer seems odd.

So what's the setup for lightweight Nox?

[final flame]

Here's my nox

as barebones as it gets

for nox at least

[young pecan]

Still has clash of clans

Not bloat free.

[pale sigil]

No youtube

Blasphemy

What rom?

I just can't ungooglefy

[young pecan]

Mmmm.

[pale sigil]

But youtube

[young pecan]

Reckon the only shit stopping me from ungoogling is the amount of work it would take. That and youtube.

[pale sigil]

Prob the main Google app I care about which you csnt really run without a fuck ton of Google. Shit

Also Google contacts

I live off that shit ngl

[young pecan]

Never used it before.

[pale sigil]

Then how do you sync your contacts

[young pecan]

I don't.

[pale sigil]

Disgusting

[young pecan]

I think I have maybe 3 people I am required to message.

Anyone else can fuck off out of my contacts.

[pale sigil]

Youtube, Google apps, gdrive, calandar, Gmail and I csnt think of others on the top of my head

Ofc some of them apps are easily replaceable

[young pecan]

Youtube has no good replacement.

That alone prevents me from moving. Fuck that.

[pale sigil]

Vanced atm can run without services I think?

[young pecan]

iPhone.

[pale sigil]

Oh

[true quest]

[chrome estuary]

[halcyon moss]

100 euros in part is not cheap

[reef patrol]

The fuck?

[ashen spindle]

win11?

does clicking on show details give you an option to ignore the warning like it does for websites?

[reef patrol]

Turns out I had to change the restricted zone, not internet.

[crimson wigeon]

Put in some more of those into the chain and it'll be good

[ashen spindle]

I think you might want something that cleans your sound more

think this would fit well

[neat oriole]

Hell yeah brother

[wheat plume]

This is the only time in Gnome desktop history...where the default theme has looked good
and I am glad its on the version where its literally impossible to change the default theme....

All Hail LibAdwaita + GTK4!!

Never seen this before though

[pale sigil]

I wear my headphones like 11am - 1am

[true quest]

[wheat plume]

The volume in MiUI is either slightly too loud or slightly too quiet :/

Cause the volume buttons change it in steps of 5%

[shadow minnow]

Hmm the person did also write a normal message but idk if the spam link was scam or not

[reef patrol]

Ban em.

fullscreen old-school screamer gifs with sound and full on epilepsy inducing blinking.

[shadow minnow]

[reef patrol]

Do not click them if you value your heartrate.

[shadow minnow]

I am gonna timeout them for now and warn and them so they can be banned later by callum if he decides so

[pale sigil]

Bexin is just following guidelines we set

[reef patrol]

Oh I'm not shaking my head at him 😛
