Ngl I can’t say I really like wire headphones I destroyed so so many cables

#

But still despite seeing why most people would benefit from usb c I just want better water resistance and little bit bigger battery

cursive summit
#

The fuck else do you want? lul

#

68 is as good as it gets

empty wren
#

If you are okay with about the same speed if not the more than the tiny app brick, then it will not really be that much worse. Battery will beat up more and you will to go to Starbucks or bring your own charger but not too much too different

cursive summit
#

Ditching cables is shit

#

You will ruin the headphone sphere

#

You will ruin a lot of the charging accessories

empty wren
#

As much as I agree with you

#

It is inevitable

crimson wigeon
#

Time for more adapterdongles

cursive summit
#

Also

#

How the hell would you connect your phone to a PC then?

crimson wigeon
#

Wirelessly

cursive summit
#

Sometimes you just need to pop your phone into a library PC to copy files or something

empty wren
#

For iPhones on Mac surely apple will have covered on windows well itunes will update I would think

crimson wigeon
#

Bluetooth or the WiFis

empty wren
#

Bexin seems to keep all his stuff on his phone in this case

#

Which is why it is always fullmage

cursive summit
#

Nah fam I refuse

#

3.5mm jack masterrace

empty wren
#

Android will probably never fully become wireless

cursive summit
#

Thank god

empty wren
#

Apple will

cursive summit
#

All the more reason not to buy apple

#

Samsung will defo follow suite

#

Like they always do

empty wren
#

Cuz if you look now, we still got headphone jacks

#

Adb over wifi exists

#

Adb can transfer over command prompt though

crimson wigeon
#

People say KDE Connect is amazing the best thing ever

misty saffron
#

do i brag here too

#

i fixed the 1st gen classic :)

#

had no image before

empty wren
#

Airdroid is an option that even works in the web browser

reef patrol
#

Das real purdy

crimson wigeon
#

Nah it's the wifis

#

So define the root

#

Well piss

empty wren
#

FX file explorer exists

#

Nope

final flame
#

personally I prefer solid explorer

empty wren
#

I used to like es file explorer until they exited

#

Well if you click on system

#

That is userspace

#

There is also a root option is that what you are looking for?

misty saffron
#

is my ipod software outdated

empty wren
#

Oh

#

You mean with kde connect?

#

I have no idea sorry.

#

Well you could always try AirDroid

#

If that does not work

crimson wigeon
#

You have to configure a receive location, also check your filemanager of choice it might show up there, or you might have a kdeconnect entry at the bottom of mount

Ok and how is IP68 not good enough? lul

#

I'd take my IP68 phone to shower and just listen to some tunes while I'm sulking

#

But I can't, cause the damn Poco is only IP53

shadow minnow
#

Well I have seen a phone with I think ip 68, or whatever iPhone X had break after being in water only to 50cm depth.
Though speakers were used some of the time still didn’t last much lol

#

I just want guarantee of water resistance to that extend, or well warranty for it

cursive summit
#

Huh

#

A flagship with 3.5mm jack

#

Snapdragon 8g1 too

#

Too bad it's priced like a Fold lul

shadow minnow
#

so I can use speakers underwater. Because it’s cool and it’s also really cool how sounds spreads better underwater

cursive summit
#

Unless you're like a swimmer

#

You really don't need that lul

shadow minnow
#

I don’t need it at all

#

I just want it lul

#

Only reason is I don’t care about port at all and care about this a little little bit dogekek

ashen spindle
#

so uh, my notepad was gone and I had to reinstall it

#

that was a first

#

didnt even have a windows update or anything else update that could have caused that overnight

true quest
#

imagine questioning our corporate overlords

reef patrol
#

Bastard. I've spent so much energy trying to get RID of Notepad šŸ˜›

#

And Windows no likey.

ashen spindle
#

huh, you can just uninstall it in the optional features menu

cursive summit
#

Ngl even with Notepad++ I find regular microsoft notepad as just really appealing and easy to use

shadow minnow
#

All of my notes in notes app on my phone that were stored on phone and not iCloud disappeared after one update pepecry
Aparently happened to someone else on MacBook as well

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

Notepad++ is really only good cause you can code in it, weirdly, and it's more compatibilities with different file formats

#

But your joe regular notepad is kinda sexy

reef patrol
#

Never liked notepad. ++ is great for editing config files.

timid chasm
#

can't imagine coding with it though apart from very simple things

reef patrol
#

Specifically how it handles font sizes (or the lack thereof) and not being able to handle big text files at all.

misty saffron
#

notepad++ 🤢

ashen spindle
#

bruh I just need something to open a txt file and copy something from it

#

npp is way too overkill for that

misty saffron
#

simple

#

install sublime text

true quest
#

just use sticky notes

crimson wigeon
#

Wordpad

ashen spindle
#

ah yes let me install even more bloated stuff when I just need notepad

wheat plume
#

should I be worried?

#

I ran the SMART test on my SSD

#

it says Old-Age and Pre-Fail for some values...

ashen spindle
#

smh you cropped that faster than I could

wheat plume
#

but like..why does it say these then?

crimson wigeon
reef patrol
wheat plume
#

idk, im just trying to get my Library SSD auto-mounted

It mounts to a folder in my home directory and I can access and read the files, but I cant edit or delete, I need to fix perms somehow

#

Yes

#

I did it before by mounting it to a folder under /mnt

#

maybe do that instead?

#

but I think I had to change perms too

#

It does work, it automounts but its read only

#

where you mounting it to?

crimson wigeon
#

exfat doesn't support any kind of user and group info so you have to specify it yourself, so add mount options like uid=yourcoolname,gid=yourcoolgroup

wheat plume
#

just somewhere in that line in fstab?

crimson wigeon
#

Replace defaults with that

#

Obviously replace the names..

#

Nah I know nothing except el googol

wheat plume
#

group is lana?

crimson wigeon
#

Sure that works

wheat plume
#

I have an fstab backup saved

#

Incase

#

Owner Me??

crimson wigeon
#

Yes you!

wheat plume
#

Ok, it seems to be working :D

#

Thanks!

#

The lock is gone

#

I knew it might have worked when I saw that

#

ay and I can delete

#

perfect :D

#

Cause its accessible by windows and linux

#

this is my storage drive, I access it regularly from both :D

#

Id love to

#

Cant ;-;

shadow minnow
#

You can

wheat plume
#

Some games no work that I wanna play

shadow minnow
#

Ignore the games

wheat plume
#

xd

ashen spindle
#

go windows and use WSL for linux

wheat plume
#

Nah xd

timid chasm
#

that's my preferred route

wheat plume
#

Linux desktop has a much nicer workflow for me

ashen spindle
#

so do your everything in WSL whats the issue

#

set it up to start with it and it's almost like booting up linux when you start the pc

wheat plume
#

Flameshot best screenshot tool <3

misty saffron
#

that’s the most lana post i’ve seen in a while

#

genuinely

#

ticks most of the lanapost boxes

wheat plume
#

That being said, I do use a lot of the windows keyboard shortcuts

shift + win + s = screenshot
win + e = file manager
win + i = settings

timid chasm
#

we need a lana based drinking game

#

probably die soon after though

wheat plume
#

LOL

crimson wigeon
#

Sounds good

timid chasm
#

Hard to say but if it's a drink for each out of context thing I give us 4 days tops

wheat plume
#

ahh, loading my songs from the Library SSD <3

misty saffron
#

the bottle has to be opaque to not remind of windows

misty saffron
#

rule for the drinking game

wheat plume
#

why would oqaque not remind me of windows?

crimson wigeon
#

There has to be some kind of tear on it

wheat plume
#

oh wait, glass

ashen spindle
#

A shot when:
-Screenshot out of context
+1 if it's not related to the previous out of context post
-Question that is faster to type in google than to post on discord
-Discussion ends with no feedback to an answer/counter question
dogekek good luck

#

maybe

timid chasm
#

Saving that incase I ever become a dictator

misty saffron
#

dude no its wednesday

ashen spindle
#

relax, I never said you have to start the game today

NVIDIA Releases Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules NVIDIA is now publishing Linux GPU kernel modules as open source with dual GPL/MIT license, starting with the R515 driver release.

OMG

#

@wheat plume

wheat plume
#

OO....

#

WAIT

pale sigil
#

YES

#

ITS FINALLY HAPPENING

#

if you ever switch

#

xd

ashen spindle
#

not in the next 5 year at the bare minimum

misty saffron
#

such a convenient picture isn’t it

#

holy fucking bezels indeed

shadow minnow
#

Oof

#

Ngl Apple Watch also used to have pretty big bezels.
But I guess on the circle it’s even more annoying.

empty wren
#

Also nice they finally show that it exists

empty wren
#

Would be nice to know if they incorporated soli into it

#

Would make up for the big bezels too

pale sigil
misty saffron
#

no

pale sigil
#

tis not the nicest looking watch

misty saffron
#

doesn’t help that the render is shit and the crown looks glued on

pale sigil
misty saffron
#

yeah

#

2015 apple watch bezels

pale sigil
#

the fitbut stuff is cool ig uess?

misty saffron
#

the problem is they’re not really competing with apple

#

and they can do this kinda shit all they want

#

30% of screen radius is bezel

pale sigil
#

damn the 6a pricing...

#

now lets see the specs lol

empty wren
misty saffron
#

nah

cursive summit
#

Is DLSS code also open source now?

crimson wigeon
#

No

cursive summit
#

Or is that not included in the driver

misty saffron
#

a watch is something you primarily look at

crimson wigeon
#

Kernel stuff is just boring low level code like modesetting and submitting commands and scheduling

ashen spindle
#

why would something thats not in the driver be included in driver code

AMD driver for DX11 games Along with Radeon RX 6950/6750/6650XT driver, AMD released a preview of its upcoming May update. This driver will be released later this month, but there is a good reason to check it out already. Radeon Super Resolution 1.1 now with ā€œSharpen Effectā€ slider The AMD Software Preview Driver May 2022 […]

#

TD;DR: " AMD has achieved the unthinkable—the new FidelityFX Super Resolution FSR 2.0 looks amazing, just as good as DLSS 2.0, actually DLSS 2.3 (in Deathloop). Sometimes even slightly better, sometimes slightly worse, but overall this is a huge win for AMD.
In terms of performance FSR 2.0 deserves praise, too. While it is a little bit more demanding than FSR 1.0, not surprising given the additional logic, it's still mighty fast and is pretty much identical to DLSS 2.0, even on NVIDIA hardware. "

#

Great to see it being actually amazingly good

frozen ingot
#

now if more game devs could actually implement support for either

#

feels like they're being intentionally lazy with a lot of this tech because console hardware often don't have it and they can't be arsed to add it just for PC

cursive summit
#

I wish that FSR 2 would get what I call are wrappers

#

FSR is already able to be applied to any software via tools

pale sigil
#

who cares

#

nvidia now open sourcing linux drivers

#

thats the best news today

ashen spindle
#

fsr2 and dlss cant work like a wrapper for that matter

pale sigil
cursive summit
ashen spindle
#

you cant wrap something around an engine when it needs to be inside the render pipeline

cursive summit
#

But AMD does say it takes very little time to implement

#

So maybe it'll be a thing?

pale sigil
#

Does FSR work on the deck? i remember digital foundry saying something about issue that might be

#

Knowing me i got that wrong

cursive summit
#

It works on everything

pale sigil
#

could be a huge huge advantage on the deck

cursive summit
#

I ran FSR on Intel's iGPU

#

With no dgpu

#

Made Genshin playable at 1080p on an ultrabook

pale sigil
#

Just play it on IPad

#

e

#

z

ashen spindle
#

nvidia already has a plugin that has all 3 solutions so engines only need to implement that and then any option can be used

#

but you still need to implement it properly

#

if an engines pipeline needs to be changed then no amount of plugin wrapping can change the work that needs to be done

wheat plume
#

Why does Fedora not have OBS in the default repos? It is open source, right?

#

Legal reasons due to codecs

#

Interesting...

#

Pixel 6A potential leaks

empty wren
#

Hmm

#

Looks a little too high end

ashen spindle
#

leaks of.. the official announcement?

empty wren
#

Wow

#

Alright

wheat plume
#

Oh

#

Compared to the price of the non A version....why get this one???

pale sigil
#

its the same cpu

#

the titan m2?

wheat plume
#

It's barely cheaper than the regular to justify

pale sigil
#

whats the regular

empty wren
ashen spindle
#

I wouldnt say 450 instead of 600 is "barely cheaper"

pale sigil
#

The unlocked version of the 6A supports sub-6GHz but not mmWave 5G. The model sold by Verizon does support mmWave in addition to sub-6Hz (including C-band), but it costs $50 more.

wheat plume
#

150
If you are spending that much one a phone already

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

Pixel 6A comes with a smaller 4,400mAh battery than the 5A’s 4,680mAh cell, but Google still claims it will last a full day like its predecessor. It’s also claiming three days of use in Extreme Battery Saver mode, which is a full day longer than it claimed for the 5A. That’s likely due to more efficient hardware and software integration now that Google’s in control of both variables.

#

i meant price

ashen spindle
#

450 for A, 600 for regular, 900 for pro iirc

empty wren
#

Yes

pale sigil
#

ah

#

you pay for the camera

empty wren
pale sigil
#

CPU is the same

#

RAM 6gb vs 8gb

ashen spindle
#

I just disagree that 2/3 of the price for the cheaper one is "barely cheaper" xD

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

ngl, I kinda want it

pale sigil
#

gotta say id prob get the 6 over 6a if i got one

wheat plume
#

but it looks so thicc and ugly

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

I hate the bezels, they go upwards

#

strange, not nice looking

pale sigil
#

what bezels

#

oh

wheat plume
empty wren
#

Uniformity

pale sigil
#

why not make the bezel bigger

empty wren
#

With the bottom

pale sigil
#

and put the camera there

wheat plume
#

cause thats not how phones in 2022 work

#

they M U S T have a notch

pale sigil
#

why does the 6a have 30w fast charge

#

but the others 21-23w

wheat plume
#

cause idk

ashen spindle
#

because you cant read

pale sigil
#

prob the camera/screen you're paying for mostly

ashen spindle
pale sigil
#

oops

#

ye i see what i did

#

damn thats nice

#

guessing the 6a is not for sale yet

ashen spindle
#

its in the article šŸ˜›

pale sigil
#

bleh

#

not the biggest fan of the 6a

#

ngl

ashen spindle
#

if you want to look at the 7 instead

pale sigil
#

Wonder if google will make a not shit android tablet

#

Again

ashen spindle
#

doubt it, but miracles do happen

empty wren
#

Ew pixel 7

#

It looks like apple design with a Samsung dual camera roundtangle and hole.

empty wren
wheat plume
#

the black hole notch

empty wren
#

It is unfortunate the status bar is bigger cause of em

#

Two steps forward one step back

frozen ingot
#

I dunno if a hole or notch is actually an improvement over just having a few mm of bezel

empty wren
#

You get more screen for the money

frozen ingot
#

yeah, but with a hole in it

#

I suppose its subjective what's actually the better solution

#

you can make bezels very thin these days

empty wren
#

And all that area across that area is screen for status at only

#

And the screen below is for content only

frozen ingot
#

that's probably the main advantage yes

empty wren
#

But I hate it personally for no more dual speakers on front mainlu

frozen ingot
#

I member some weird solutions in the 00s with phones having some mini screen of a cheaper type up top for displaying status etc

#

or if it was early 2010s, it was a slab design at least

empty wren
#

Lg v20

#

Is an option too

#

Had two screens

pale sigil
#

aint that the phone thats like

#

not sold anywhere but india

frozen ingot
#

best part about lg phones was their fancier headphone dacs

#

now that they're dead it would be something for sony to pass on

I would say the same with HTC back in the day

Oh right they started out on phones

Nowadays they do hell knows what

halcyon moss

AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su will be kicking off Computex 2022 with a keynote on the 23rd of May focused on AI, HPC, digital resilience, startups, and the increased importance of technology as a result of the pandemic. At least those are the official themes. We know that Dr. Su is very likely to announce …

#
#

If they do then that's, assuming it's well priced, a GPU killer

ashen spindle
#

not really

cursive summit
#

90% of gamers probably don't need much better than 3060

ashen spindle
#

3060 MOBILE != 3060 desktop

cursive summit
#

Isn't the GTX 1060 still the most used card?

cursive summit
ashen spindle
#

not even the same chip

cursive summit
#

They ain't?

#

I assumed they would be for ease of manufacturing

#

I just know in terms of power they are a whole of a lot less hungry

ashen spindle
#

no they use lower ones because they are the leftover usecases lmao

#

also igpus are stronger in benchmarks than gaming due to memory bandwidth etc.

#

so in games its a bit further behind

cursive summit
#

3060 laptop seems to be comparable to desktop 2060 Super

#

Which is still a whole lot of power enough for most people

formal vortex
#

1060 is my bae, been solid for ~5 years already, but i would have upgraded if prices were better xD

cursive summit
#

Honestly if AMD releases an APU with 2060 levels of graphical perf

#

And prices it at like 400-500$ max

#

That's honestly amazing isn't it?

formal vortex
#

too expensive imo

#

ah no sorry, i didnt read apu

cursive summit
#

Like that's how much I'd expect the launch price to be

#

With their profit margins included

#

500$ for a CPU + GPU than can reliably 1080p at max with 1440p and 4K capabilities

#

Is honestly insane value

ashen spindle
#

to match a deal you could get for the same costs 5 years ago?

#

where is value in that

cursive summit
#

You wouldn't?

#

Where 5 years ago would you get a 6/8 or so core processor for 500$ and graphical perf equivalent to a GTX 1070 Ti to boot?

ashen spindle
#

I could get a 2060 for 300 and a cpu for 200 5 years ago, why would I want the same price 5 years later for almost same performance with just somewhat better cpu power?

cursive summit
#

2060 wasn't even a thing 5 years ago mage

ashen spindle
#

it was 2018 and those apus are coming 2023

cursive summit
#

2060 Super is like what, a low end 1080?

#

I don't believe those were 300$ back then

#

Isn't the 1070 like 349?

#

Like it's not insane value alright, but it's more than enough for nearly everyone, they just have to price it right so that it beats any current-at-release gen gpu+cpu combo that someone would be able to build in value

ashen spindle
#

I can find a 2060 super on ebay right now for like 150 despite the current market

#

so like 100 bucks once the apus are out probably, with how the market is going

#

so how is the cpu value if you can get the gpu power it has for 100

cursive summit
#

I like your enthusiasm but, no?

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

That's an auction

ashen spindle
#

its sold not going on

cursive summit
#

I mean yeah but that's still an auction

ashen spindle
#

..yes?

cursive summit
#

Auctions sell lower typically than market price so it's hard to even say what'd one retail for

#

But sofort-kaufen is 350$ or so rn

ashen spindle
#

oh no I have to wait a couple days to pay half the price

cursive summit
#

Eh lul

#

Still for a market analysis it'd be hard to use auctions reliably, sofort-kaufen is a better indicator of current price range

ashen spindle
#

dont you think if they sell for 400 at least 2 people of those 18 would've bid more than 136 to get it

cursive summit
#

Auctions are weird in general, sometimes they get taken down before the end just cause it was undervalued in the eyes of the seller

#

Beyond the point though

ashen spindle
#

also the other side, if old cards cost a lot more, you cant compare it to the msrp of the new price

#

because those wont be at msrp then either

formal vortex

I did ping you with an article yesterday

#

It's super good

cursive summit
ashen spindle
#

yes it was?

cursive summit
#

The difference between Ryzen 1000 and 5000 is night and day let alone Ryzen 7000

ashen spindle
#

for the time it was, now it's obviously higher so you get a somewhat better cpu

#

because obviously the cpu price would otherwise be quite lower

cursive summit
#

We don't really have much information on how Zen 4 will be so that gap will only widen

#

But for that kind of next-gen perf 400$ or so bucks is more than a good deal imo

#

Make this better as a CPU, and slap a 1080p max settings GPU on top

#

And for 400$ that's a hell of a deal

ashen spindle
#

what im saying is that you just get the normal performance increase over time but nothing that is suddenly insanely better compared to before

cursive summit
#

Nah it won't beat the price of second-hand parts I don't believe

#

I still know people who got GTX 970s for 90$ in like 2018 and they are still safe and sound with them

pale sigil
#

Christ

cursive summit
#

Hell the RX 580 8GB is amazing and it was 120$ back then

pale sigil
#

Woke up to 30 nvidia drops in the UK

#

The shortage is really ending GPU wise

ashen spindle
#

ehhh

pale sigil
#

Never thought I'd see the day you could just buy a GPU

ashen spindle
#

its taking a break till next gen

pale sigil
#

At a store

#

Haha true

ashen spindle
#

its like 3-4 months till next gen

formal vortex
#

nvidia struggling to clear our their 3080ti, its been available as founders edition for two weeks now i think

cursive summit
#

But still, the sheer fact that a single chip can have the power of a gaming PC than is enough to fulfill the needs of 67% of gamers (according to Steam hardware survey) and hopefully be priced at 400$ or below

#

Like say what you want, but that is not bad at all

ashen spindle
#

yes that is what every new apu generation has looked liked until the next gpus come and increase what entry level needs

#

sure they lag behind a little less now that they dont use one gen old gpu hardware

cursive summit
#

Yeah I was about to say that doesn't sound right

ashen spindle
#

but the apu revolution isn't as big as it sounds, same cycle every time

cursive summit
#

This generational increase is unprecedented compared to previous iGPUs

cursive summit
#

Yes Rembrandt iirc has RDNA2 rn but it's still the minority of APUs

ashen spindle
#

2x the cu count means nothing since its not the same uArch

#

and what they called vega was already 50% better than vega as well

cursive summit
#

My lad though

#

We'd be moving from this

#

To this

#

That is amazing

#

That's 5000 series Vega 8 vs 2060S

#

Assuming it really actually matches 2060S

ashen spindle
#

and if it costs more than a 2060s + equal cpu combined?

#

still "insane value" then?

You'd still have to compare it to new gen offerings imho, if you are buying new gen

#

You can always buy second hand previous gen but those things are unsupported in most cases, goodbye DLSS 3 and whatever

ashen spindle
#

ok so it will have to beat and be cheaper than the cpu + 4030 or w/e the equivalent will be

#

same thing

cursive summit
#

And it'd be interesting to see how well it'd actually fare

#

But the fact that a single chip can do dGPU levels of gaming is still funky and I am really interested in tiny builds

#

Steam Deck 2 would be defo interesting lul

#

How'd you vent that much power though would be another issue

cursive summit
#

fuck consoles

shadow minnow
#

Well sure but it’s the same

#

Actually no

#

Don’t see why

#

especially for people who can’t afford a stronger gaming pc and want it just for gaming + convenience

cursive summit
#

I'm not saying consoles are bad

#

Or that they should be gone

#

Or you shouldn't buy one

#

Series S is a pretty great deal

#

I just hate consoles so fuck consoles

shadow minnow
#

Just saying that that’s also an APU that has pretty good GPU performance. dogekek

empty wren
#

It is a lost cause unless you are okay with 1080p-720p

shadow minnow
#

I mean then you have m1 max but can’t game much on that + different architecture dogekek

shadow minnow
empty wren
#

It can handle it well enough

cursive summit
empty wren
#

Like at 30frames a second

shadow minnow
#

And for that price you can’t expect people to be afford high end monitors either

#

Sure it’s not for 4K gaming really but for that price

empty wren
#

Also One x is better than series s in some ways

empty wren
shadow minnow
#

Which will often not be 4K or support higher refresh rate

empty wren
#

Uh with one x it just goes to 60 frames

#

And 4k TVs are cheap these days

shadow minnow
empty wren
#

Okay....

shadow minnow
#

Consoles are imo made for a bit different target market

#

Not for the best monitors and stuff

empty wren
#

You can use the new ones with great monitors

#

Sure no gsync

#

But they support free sync, hdr, HDMI 2.1 ect ect

#

This generation they got a lot of higher end stufd

shadow minnow
#

What I wanna see also from consoles like APUs is GDDR on desktop CPUs/APUs

#

Which is only for arm atm

empty wren
#

Sounds like a price increase

#

And arm is meant more for efficency

#

Maybe arm on a streaming stick to save costs/space makes sense

shadow minnow
#

Well yes but would be cool to have 800gbps ram speeds on x86 as on m1 dogekek

crisp granite
shadow minnow
#

Ok

#

Lol

#

Sure

#

Ngl I used to not be a fan of MacBooks but last MacBooks apart from app support really don’t see much wrong with

#

Sure they aren’t cheap but well for the features

crisp granite
#

^^

shadow minnow
#

What?

crisp granite
#

Apple is a closed system

#

That’s the complaint

shadow minnow
#

That is true and get it. Doesn’t matter for me but does more for some

#

Still with MacBook isn’t like Apple Watch, though app support is far from the best

crisp granite
#

Since even budget apple hardware is quite capable now

wheat plume
#

budget apple hardware?

crisp granite
#

Even compared to windows laptops

wheat plume
#

Ok, but that price is not budget xd

#

the cheapest device with M1 is the Mac Mini which is 800 right?

shadow minnow
#

iPad I think

wheat plume
#

wait 950

crisp granite
#

iPad Air is cheaper iirc

wheat plume
#

that has M1?

#

I thought the Pro did only

crisp granite
#

Now the air does too

wheat plume
#

no it dont

crisp granite
#

Can’t wait for an iPhone with m1

shadow minnow
wheat plume
#

thats what im looking at

shadow minnow
#

2022?

wheat plume
#

idk

#

it doesnt show the year

shadow minnow
#

New one definitely has m1

ashen spindle
#

bruh literally just type "m1 ipad" into google

wheat plume
#

yeah, that was showing me the previous version

crisp granite
wheat plume
#

its on the front page for the iPad section of the website for some reason

#

not the new one

shadow minnow
#

To be fair normal m1 only has 200GB/s ram dogekek

wheat plume
#

whys the M1 iPad Air not in the iPad homepage on Apples site?

#

.-. now it is

#

dafuq

ashen spindle
#

seems like you were not on the homepage then

wheat plume
ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

yeah, it shows if I scroll down but the promotion near the top is the older one

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

maybe it was being weird cause I was in the /ie version

ashen spindle
#

thats ie

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

wheat plume
#

šŸ¤”

#

oh cant buy yet ;-;

ashen spindle
#

yes, cant buy whats not released...

wheat plume
#

I thought they released it at the event for some reason

cursive summit
cursive summit
#

Man what an amazing phone

#

Looks sexy

#

Quite 2015 actually

wheat plume
#

wait.....6A has no headphones jack??? ;-;

ashen spindle
#

cant buy a preorder if the preorder is not released yet šŸ˜›

cursive summit
#

But has a 3.5mm jack as a flagship

cursive summit
#

That Sony, if it wasn't 1600 damn euros, I'd get it

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

I cant buy 6A

#

no headphone jack .-.

cursive summit
#

Then get some other phone

#

Like the Sony Xperia 1 IV

wheat plume
#

but i want pixel ;-; im sick of MIUI

cursive summit
#

Get the Xperia, it's really really good lul

wheat plume
#

I dont have 1.3 grand

#

to spend on a phone

cursive summit
#

Just get a small loan of a million dollars

wheat plume
#

got to find a sugar daddy first

#

;-;

#

i just want phones to have headphone jacks again

cursive summit
#

That's why I refuse to buy any modern flagship without a headphone jack

#

But honestly

#

There's a market for both products without and with headphone jacks

#

As long as they both remain

#

I'm fine

#

If headphone jacks get phased out though

wheat plume
#

In 5 years time, The only phones with a headphone jack will be the cheap ass ones that cost less tan 100 dollars

cursive summit
#

Yeah at that point what's the point of even buying more expensive hardware lul

ashen spindle
#

And by then you just have headphones that have a usbc cable so what’s the issue

cursive summit
#

Part of why I got Poco X3 is cause 1) It has good hardware 2) Has a 3.5mm jack

ashen spindle
#

Are you using it while also charging it?

wheat plume
#

earphones dont have USB C connections

ashen spindle
#

Idk the phone has a port so just use that

cursive summit
#

Can't be bothered with a dongle, so no

wheat plume
#

Wait.....USB C earphones do exist..... DAFUQ?!!

ashen spindle
#

I don’t thin I ever used a phone with headphones while charging it and you can just add a tiny adapter to the cable so you don’t really need to carry it separately

#

Ofc they exist

fair gull
#

i just blast my speakers and subject everyone around me to my shitty music taste

wheat plume
#

oh, the only brands that make them are random chinese brands

#

and razer...

reef patrol
#

Depends entirely on the phone and the dongle. You still need a DAC. And not all cables have DACs. And not all phones support the format.

#

Linus talked about it recently.

wheat plume
#

you saying, you could get a pair of USB C earphones and they have a chance of not working on any particular phone?

frozen ingot
#

yup

ashen spindle
#

If less phones have 3.5mm port more headphones with usbc will come out so in the future I imagine that will just go away too

cursive summit
wheat plume
#

Who cut out the image of them? xd

#

so much jagged edges

reef patrol
#

Ugh... I forgot what video it was. Was it on the main channel or related to a SC...

frozen ingot
#

isn't it great how there were so much hype around usb-c finally being that one port that works everywhere but they of course had to fuck it up

wheat plume
#

Its the USB foundation, OFC they fucked it up

#

uh...discord

#

its not 4

fair gull
#

usb-c is a form specification

ashen spindle
#

Yeah it’s 6

wheat plume
#

xd

fair gull
#

usb-c doesnt specify what the port does or supports

#

just like HDMI A doesnt

ashen spindle
#

So your discord is showing UTC so it’s correct

fair gull
#

since its the port spec

cursive summit
#

@wheat plumehttps://www.gsmarena.com/realme_gt_5g-10689.php

#

Snapdragon 888 with 3.5mm

wheat plume

If there is custom rom support, it might be good choice

cause I want pixel android

Im so sick of OEM skins

no

fair gull
#

maybe ill buy an actual hammer soon

cursive summit
#

I hope you also buy a stand for 999

fair gull
#

hammers dont need stands

#

last i checked

cursive summit
#

It sure does if you want to hammer in those pesky nuts and bolts

fair gull
#

true

#

those are hard to hammer in

cursive summit
#

Exactly why you need the iStand and iHammer

o.o Windows 11 has built in data usage tracking

fair gull
#

win10 also did

#

but ok

wheat plume
#

o?

pale sigil
#

Windows 10 did also

wheat plume
#

never saw it on 10

fair gull
#

cause ure a linux pleb

ashen spindle
#

its in the same place

wheat plume
#

though they put it easy to find on 11

#

its right there on the front of the internet tab

crimson wigeon
#

It's also in the task manager if you want a better interface... well not sure about the 11 task manager

fair gull
wheat plume
#

same task manager xd

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

oohh

pale sigil
#

Uh I hate the new task manager

wheat plume
#

ethernet only?

#

on 10

fair gull
#

no

ashen spindle
#

yes I dont have wifi

fair gull
#

we just dont suck like u

wheat plume

its used general

yeah barely anything

SVN commits are the biggest uploads woopsKek

fair gull

Win10

pale sigil
#

No

ashen spindle
#

also there is one apple product I really want

fair gull
#

cant check default taskmanager cause i replaced it years ago

#

with procexp

ashen spindle
#

I had that on win7, on 10 I didnt need it anymore really

fair gull
#

i still use it for dead windows etc

#

makes it nice and easy to find the process

#

plus stuck cmds from vsc or some shit

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

Ahh....nothing autoloading , just the way it should be :D

pale sigil
#

Very low

#

I'm surprised

crisp glen
#

wow

pale sigil
#

Then again I don't use my desktop as much

crisp glen
#

I have like a hundred apps there

wheat plume
#

o.o

pale sigil
#

But I'd get around 200gb on plex a month

crisp glen
#

all disabled of course

pale sigil
#

And destiny like 100gb

wheat plume
#

this is a clean install xd installed windows two nights ago

pale sigil
#

Cos of p2p

fair gull
pale sigil
#

I mean I stream around 200gb a month sometimes more on my pc

#

A lot of my consumption is on my ipad

#

Which I can't track

wheat plume
#

Seems the OnePlus Bullet USB C earphones have a built in DAC, so they should work on any phone, right?

ashen spindle
#

didnt you use a pihole?

#

where you could track that

pale sigil
#

Yes but pihole doesn't track data usage

wheat plume
#

wat??

ashen spindle
#

thought it did, has been a while since I used it

pale sigil
#

No, just tracks what's blocked, domains etc

wheat plume
#

oh my bad, they have a "Bult-In DAC" not a built in DAC :')

fair gull
ashen spindle
#

might've been a different gui that also tracks traffic that I had then perhaps

fair gull
#

this month

#

is already taxing again

wheat plume
#

We got a letter from our ISP about how we used too much data last month and would be charged double the monthly cost .-.

BUT THE PLAN SAYS UNLIMITED SO WTF

ashen spindle
#

oh wait, the 750 gb is not including my work pc woopsKek

#

so I have 750+ whatever I have on my work pc

pale sigil
#

This is your own router or some shit

#

Right

ashen spindle
#

looks like ubiquiti

fair gull
fair gull
pale sigil
#

I csnt look at my usage from my isp

#

Doesn't seem to work but when I rang up they said an average of 2tb

fair gull
#

its called get a good router

pale sigil
#

Last time a month

#

But that was ages ago

reef patrol
fair gull
#

thats why they call/send letters

reef patrol
#

No no - A followup letter šŸ˜›

ill follow you up

#

Useful info

ashen spindle
#

top 50%? wow

fair gull
#

not even good info lol

crimson wigeon
#

Only top 50%?

wheat plume
#

Is there any other phone brand that have stock Android like Pixels do? that still have a headphone jack on their new phones?

pale sigil
#

Ikik

#

I've gone down a lot it seems

fair gull
#

the moto g100 still has a headphone jack iirc

pale sigil
#

I used to grt calls asking me to calm down

#

With downloads and uploads lol

#

I pretty much don't torrent these days

fair gull
#

lame

pale sigil
#

So that dropped a lot of my usage

fair gull
#

i dont torrent and usually my months end up at like 2-3tb even without me doing specifically big downloads

wheat plume
ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

but its not stock Android

#

its MyUX

#

and only has update to Android 12 ;-;

fair gull
#

its literally looking just like stock android

#

"only android 12"

#

cause so many apps need 13

#

like all of them basically

wheat plume
#

Pixel gets 5 years of updates

fair gull
#

so buy a fucking pixel

wheat plume
#

I cant..no headphone jack and I refuse to buy one without one

fair gull
#

so take it or leave it

#

of all the non mainstream phones i sold

#

motos just look and feel like stock

#

and the new ones run damn good

#

heck for all i know buy a good used s10+ and flash some custom rom on it

wheat plume
#

so its stock UI with extra features added?

fair gull
#

literally ignore the moto app and its stock

wheat plume
#

O.o the phone comes with a dock to hook it to a monitor

#

wtf!

fair gull
#

my personal fav was just side fingerprint reader like on my XZ premium

#

its just so natural

pale sigil
#

kinda wanna ring up and see my usage now

#

xD

wheat plume
cursive summit
#

@wheat plumeJust take an Xperia 1 IV on monthly payments and never worry about a phone ever again lul

ashen spindle
#

Set up your pihole or similar to just include total data traffic

cursive summit
#

Or just get an Xperia 1 III since it's cheaper but also has good hardware and a 3.5mm

wheat plume
#

spending over a grand on a phone, no thanks

#

I would not spend that on a laptop even

cursive summit
#

Well that just means you have a problem with perception lul

fair gull
cursive summit
#

There are some solid laptops for over 1k

wheat plume
#

oo so fast

cursive summit
#

Case of point: ASUS Pro Duo

wheat plume
#

my laptop is pretty dang good

fair gull
#

i hate the sony ui shit

#

also they prob still do the bootloader unlock TA clear which stops the camera working with any app

wheat plume
#

Nah, thats samsung

fair gull
#

no sony does this

wheat plume
#

o.o

fair gull
#

camera is only green when bootloader is unlocked

#

most sony phones have a patch for this

wheat plume
#

imma get a freaking FairPhone

fair gull
#

but new ones usually dont

wheat plume
#

seems software support for the g100 is already dead

fair gull
#

how so

wheat plume
#

no updates anymore

fair gull
#

and you dseduced that by not having one?

#

they literally got android 12 mid-end of april

#

how does this mean no updates

wheat plume
#

yeah, 12 is the last update it seems

fair gull
#

and thats bad how

wheat plume
#

Why only offer one Android version upgrade, especially using stock Android on your phone

fair gull
#

why keep it up to date for 5yrs

wheat plume
#

so you dont feel the need to buy a new phone to get newer versions

fair gull
#

the hardware isnt getting better u know that right

#

thats u bruv

#

i use my XZ premium regularly

#

its android idc

#

and it works fine

reef patrol
#

Aaaaaand Oneplus 9 Pro ordered.
Couldn't find a better alternative.

wheat plume
#

Dont they use ColorOS now?

fair gull
#

android9

#

ngl ill never understand peoples fascination with being bleeding edge on android/ios

wheat plume
#

oh..

#

FairPhone doesnt have headphone jack either

#

ffs

#

they do have stock Android and 5 years of updates though

#

so thats a big ass bonus

crimson wigeon
#

ass bonus

fair gull
#

doesnt it just say 5yr warranty

#

where does it say 5 years of updates

wheat plume
fair gull
#

thats not how sentences work lana

#

they said long term support, software updates etc

#

not we promise 5years of updates

#

long term is of undefined length

wheat plume
#

yeah, I assume by long term in this context is the warranty duration

fair gull
#

also software updates doesnt equal android versions

#

so make of that what u want

#

plus they "only" have android 11

wheat plume
#

The pixel 6 also "only" has android 11 on the website too but thats got 12 now

fair gull
#

thats any phone lol

fair gull
#

for the fairphone 4

#

their flagship

#

i wont get a new one either got 2 working ones

#

and ill use them till both are dead

#

my xz premium from the video is almost 5yrs old and still runs great

#

still regret having gotten a new phone ngl

#
We also aim to provide updates for Android 14 and 15. However, since Qualcomm will not offer support in the development, we cannot guarantee them.
#

as i thought

#

maybe or maybe not updates

#

altho seeing how android 14 is next year prob

#

this is like 3yrs of major updates

#
However, we will upgrade Fairphone 4 to Android 12 in 2022. Fairphone guarantees Android 12 and 13 for Fairphone 4 users. 
wheat plume

;-;

fair gull
#

i hope at some point i dont have to do your research

#

and that you dont just assume things that are so vague

#

new s22 ultra has a headphone jack

fair gull
#

wait no thats where the sounding pen goes

wheat plume
#

yeah, was about to say thats for the pen xd

cursive summit
#

Samsung
Flagship
3.5mm jack

reef patrol
#

If you have room for a pen, you're doing something VERY wrong.

timid chasm
#

if it has a usb-c port it has a headphone jack

fair gull
#

anyway even cheaper and more unknown phone manufacturers remove headphone jacks nowadays

cursive summit
#

Take 2 from the list or leave it

fair gull
#

well

#

i got all 3

cursive summit
#

S10 or something? lul

wheat plume
#

I have the last one

fair gull

s10+

#

yes

wheat plume
#

Ah, the phone my uncle got and ruined the screen from burn in blobfacepalm

#

cause he keeps it unlocked constantly and full brightness

#

He assumes the case locks the screen when he flips it closed

BUT IT DOESNT

sadly caved for max spec

That's the joke

ah

#

sorry i assume ure gonna pull a lana and request smth like 16gb at least or smth

wheat plume
#

?

#

my phone has 6gb ram and thats plenty for me

fair gull
#

so

#

u need the newest android

#

but not the most ram

wheat plume
#

Yeah, newest android version

#

not hardware

fair gull
#

but why

ashen spindle
#

cant have the latest ui that makes corners 5% rounder on old android

fair gull
#

oh noe

astral haven
#

Automatic esim that Samsung added sounds pretty neat
I didn't switch because I'm scared that it'll lock my phone but it could be pretty nice

shadow minnow
#

What’s different from normal eSim?

astral haven
#

It'll convert a physical sim into an esim

empty wren
astral haven
#

Sure but it allows you to take a physical sim and back it up to some extent

#

Or get 2 physical sims

#

On a 1 sim phone

empty wren
#

A backup could be useful

#

But too bad it only works on that phone

astral haven
#

It can be transferred apparently

empty wren
#

Hmm

astral haven
#

But idk as I don't have an esim

empty wren
#

The way esim worked for me was a qr code

astral haven
#

Ye

empty wren
#

So it would make sense to transfer the data over

#

Without needing to pop out the sim tray

astral haven
#

Yuup

#

Seems pretty sweet

#

Haven't tried as my phone is unlocked and Samsung does bs

empty wren
#

Makes sense

astral haven
#

Maybe if I switch to Google fi

how come the adb pull commands not working for me?

formal vortex

dev mode active?

wheat plume

I have USB debugging active

empty wren
#

Is the server started?

wheat plume
#

and I can run adb shell pm list packages and it shows all the apps I have installed

empty wren
#

Do you have the drivers

wheat plume
#

I guess so, I just downloaded the platform tools from googler websites and ran adb

#

I want to extract the vanced apps

formal vortex
#

so what commands does it offer when you just type adb

wheat plume
#

pull is here

timid chasm
#

try to push a little to get momentum and then pull

#

always* made it easier for me

empty wren
#

Okay did you type in the full path

#

To pull?

#

You cannot just say pull the APK named this

#

The format if you did not know is adb pull "file path on device" "file path to store on windows/Linux/macos"

wheat plume
#

this is just for the yt vanced

empty wren
#

Use base path

Why does snapchat have crypto libs??

Samsung does four already

On both sides

empty wren

Yet Samsung pumps out more than dozen phones and still has time to update them

#

I feel like there is no compelling reason to chose google anymore especially with how buggy the pixel 6 devices, hope this is not the case with the pixel 6a.
