frozen ingot
wheat plume
many many many people
ashen spindle
why would it be useless without games
wheat plume
too many
frozen ingot
those poor sods
ashen spindle
have ever tried scrolling on a phone and compared how much nicer that is
wheat plume
what do you need more than 60Hz on a phone other than the limited games that support it?
frozen ingot
I'm sure it is, but am also pretty sure I can live without it for the cost
ashen spindle
if you move any parts of it when reading text it gets so much better
wheat plume
oooo
ashen spindle
not wanting to pay more is not the same as saying its useless though
frozen ingot
ok maybe not useless, but not exactly all that useful either
ashen spindle
that is subjective
frozen ingot
I love higher hz and all, I wouldn't touch a 60hz display for my computer again
wheat plume
I really
want to get Pixel 6
but maybe I should wait for the 6A
when TF is it releasing?
dafuq?
empty wren
but maybe I should wait for the 6A
Could wait honestly if you want a discount and okay with slightly less heavy hitting hardware
wheat plume
less heavy hitting?
its the same CPU
thats all that matters to me LOL
idc about "only 6GB" ram cause I mostly just have like 3 apps in the background and swapping between at most 3 more
well, not in the background but processes running for health and kde connect
whens the 6A dropping? anyone know? :/
empty wren
Less refresh
wheat plume
and? xd
wheat plume
refresh rate doesnt matter to me on phone, cause i dont use it for games
and scrolling at the speed I do is fine with me
empty wren
whens the 6A dropping? anyone know? :/
Google leaks it when they feel like it
ashen spindle
have you tried the first search result for "pixel 6a release date"
empty wren
and scrolling at the speed I do is fine with me
Honestly kernel matters more scrolling it seems, pixels have for while had a specific set of code which I do not directly recall anyways basically everything feels smooth
wheat plume
Yeah, stock Android is butter <3
empty wren
Even when it was introduced it was better than the OnePlus with 6-8gb of ram
wheat plume
I remember on my previous phone, I had tried a bunch of AOSP roms and they were ssssoooooooo smmoth
and that was a 60Hz screen
empty wren
To be fair oems chose to use certain features with the stock firmware built on aosp you can get back or get features you did not have
Not sure how well this holds up today but for the longest time maybe even still Samsung refused a/b systems
wheat plume
I do like MIUI 13
except the fucking USELESS NOTIFICATIONS
you CANNOT categories them
you CANNOT change the order they appear in
You could get a new email notification and it will NOT BE AT THE TOP
It will be like somewhere in the middle of the list for no fucking reason
so you got to hunt it down
and check the times to know what the new one is
empty wren
Strange design choice
wheat plume
yeah....
they are so fucking useless
I miss the AOSP rom I tried like 2 years ago when Android 11 came out and had the categories and the notifications from specific people so they showed the persons profile photo in the status bar if you got a message from them
its so wonderful
I really miss that....actually useful notifications :D

Thing is if the developers put in the effort you could have it back
thick elk
The one thing I really miss on my phone custom rom or not is actually having a usable recents screen.
empty wren
What you no like horizontal
thick elk
Hell no, I can only see one item at a time
wheat plume
o.o
thick elk
if you want to go like 4 apps back its useless
Slim recents was great
Now I often just go back to my launcher instead of using recents
empty wren
Slim recents was great
Eww chrome vibes
thick elk
It's better than stock sure, but still takes up way too much space imo, I just need the app name and a small preview
wheat plume
and ram usage
thick elk
Well yea custom roms handle that, still I found no good way to change the recents in aosp based roms
empty wren
Love or hate it works well with gestures
empty wren
Ah not a fan of that extra animation
thick elk
Don't seem to have any gestures on mine
empty wren
You need android 10
thick elk
Using android 12
wheat plume
oh
empty wren
Using android 12
Okay hold on
wheat plume
its even more bizare if you swap apps without using the recents screen
empty wren
Go to settings then system
empty wren
It all fits in just not a fan of the extraness but it does hold up well to legacy but still goes modern
empty wren
See...it's odd
All I think is when swiping is you got a book
Just seems off any more than that but hey you got more apps on screen if you care for that
wheat plume
im talking about the animation when I go the recents screen after switching over to discord
thick elk
This is all I got, found nothing relevant in the system settings
empty wren
Weird um what phone you have?
thick elk
Poco X3 pro running CR-droid
empty wren
Interesting
thick elk
*crDroid
wheat plume
I think android 13 removes the navbar,. right?
empty wren
No
I removed that cuz it looks like a stupid short line on pixels and looks cooler with it gone
wheat plume
no no..not the gesture bar
empty wren
Oh
wheat plume
the nav bar with the 3 buttons
wheat plume
the frame of the phone sticks out over the top of the screen a lot...
well, the case wont help
wheat plume
rails?
thick elk
anyway settings navigation yeilds nothing useful:
wheat plume
time to watch all the android 13 videos on youtube cause idk wtf is new on 13 yet cause i havent been paying attention

Here not your phone but someone mentioned your issue
wheat plume
probably is
empty wren
Probably an it thing
thick elk
I don't think this is my issue at all, I just find the recents screen rather useless
empty wren
Oh I thought you wanted gestures
wheat plume
nah, wants better recents layout
empty wren
I mean that is something I think rom.specific
Some roms have extra stuff others so not
thick elk
Well it is something changed by android
wheat plume
Am I the only one that really loves Material You?
empty wren

it's really comfy

the launcher is in charge of the animations to get in and out of recents
empty wren
Am I the only one that really loves Material You?
It is okay for reducing crashing
wheat plume
huh?
thick elk
Animations are the first thing I disable in dev settings
wheat plume
I cannot disable animations, it makes me motion sick
thick elk
Now this was a good recents interface: https://i.imgur.com/6KDs0qL.png
thick elk
But what android version is he using?
I used to have this on multiple custom roms for a long time
wheat plume
I think its 11
thick elk
Interesting
thick elk
So is mine, just most custom roms are shit at communicating their features and crdroid seems decent in its set

Personally my biggest gripe is a lot are copypasta
wheat plume
my previous phone was the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
That phone has a massive custom rom + Kernel community to this day
and its updated to Android 13 too in some roms
empty wren
That was probably one of the nicer phones
wheat plume
Nah, Xiaomi only gave it one Android version upgrade and only 2 security patches
thick elk
It's all screenshots about look how shiny this rom is and no hard list of features.
wheat plume

cause that was their cool sliding phone
no notch, thin bezel

thick elk
crDroid is actually reasonably good at communicating: https://github.com/crdroidandroid/crdroid_features/blob/12.0/README.mkdn
but really it's not a lot of features imo
empty wren
Meanwhile dev comment for pixel 6 rom feature list lol
wheat plume
hm?
empty wren
but I tried most else
Evolution X
wheat plume
that was my fav for a while
empty wren
AOSICP
wheat plume
then Pixel Experience Plus happened
and I used that fulltime
with the Twisted kernel
wheat plume
I knew the dev of the Twisted kernel from the telegram channel so he gave me access to early uilds
:D
thick elk
Long term favorite of mine was Resurrection remix
empty wren
The word pixel is kind of a turn off
There is bit of an issue with pixel experience as well, the now playing feature uses stolen code
empty wren
Long term favorite of mine was Resurrection remix
Mm yes but that one was heavy
thick elk
Oh crDroid also uses crap like that. My phone identifies as a pixel 6 and appearantly I have unlimited photo storage because of it, it has some dolby crap included
I never fdound RR really giving me any slowdown
wheat plume

the UI design in general is really cosy IMO
empty wren
I mean given it is consistent on supported apps fair enough
wheat plume
the Google apps on my phone use Material You since my phone updated to 12
its such a difference to MIUI UI design and its so jarring
Since when did the official youtube app have AMOLED black theme????
I thought it was just that light grey background
wheat plume
yeah...but mine is just dark grey that the google search page has
this is pitch black in his video and idk how to enable that
empty wren
Yeah cuz google chose that
I doubt that is stock
Even if not rooted
Cuz is that not a smasunf device
empty wren
Also Google stinks for obfuscated play store code
wheat plume

wheat plume

empty wren
Honestly though play store is laggy so eh
wheat plume
odd
wheat plume
what CPU?
empty wren
Could be a hardware resource cope lacking no idea
empty wren
I have 4gb of ram
And pixel 3 xl has memory problems
Honestly not gonna probe it because some updates seem great on the playstore
Others are bad
But overall anywhere else not really an issue
I wish for better kernels items anyways
I remember I had some good ones on older phones
With even specific big core and little core profiles
PUBG could be played for hours with 1hr 10% battery loss
wheat plume
No longer need to reboot to apply new font 😍😍
empty wren
Root?
wheat plume
you can change the UI theme. font, wallpaper, boot animation, status bar, icon theme
but you need to use stuff from the theme app
you cant get ones from outside it l-l

you can install ones from outside the themes app if you root

I wonder did the update to Android 12 fix my issue with my wireless earbuds
I got to charge them... They were sitting on the shelf too long and ran out lol
Plugging them into my computers USB port for the night I guess
rose kernel
I'm skeptical of the Fiio board but honestly I have yet to find a bad product from Moondrop myself.
it comes with a Moon River 2 Built in thats actually pretty damn good. Thats endgame for alot of people.
Ya eww the Fiio makes me want to vomit. Tacky silver caps and it just has way too much going on. Almost looks like a mixing table
wheat plume
Yeah
... Moon river 2 is end game because the led on it is so freaking bright you go blind
Oh....
The price is higher than I expected
rose kernel
Mobility=More $ but its pretty good for a desktop setup. It wont push 300 Ohms but it will push pretty much any gaming headset or mid tier headphones to their highest potential.
Still cheaper than a Magni/Modi with slightly less power but a cleaner signal
wheat plume
Does this actually change the sound quality of any headphones?
Or does it just make the volume louder or something
rose kernel
It depends on the headphones. High end NEED an amp/dac Mid tier will get a noticeable improvement and Low end arent really worth it
wheat plume
Hmm...
rose kernel
Its miles better than the DAC/Amps that come with Mobos. They can get alot of electrical interference from other parts on the board. By isolating the circuit to desktop units you get much cleaner and much richer sound. Soundstaging and Imaging are the main improvements. And yes it does make things louder but with a good DAC you will need less volume to hear more if that makes sense
wheat plume
So it brings out the sounds in the background more than without it?
rose kernel
Yes you can hear little details in games alot better without having them drowned out by all the boomy gunshots and explosions. And if youre into music a good setup can make it feel like youre in the room with the artist while theyre playing.
wheat plume
Hmm
I'd use it for music mostly
rose kernel

Well it depends on the source device too
If you have a laptop with a good inbuilt DAC will make less of a difference.
But then for example windows pc I have despite having pretty high end motherboard that claims high quality has different sound from every 3.5mm jack and there proper amp/Dac makes a lot of difference
wheat plume
My dell laptop had fantastic sounding audio from the headphone jack
My new one doesn't
shadow minnow
The new MacBooks are supposed to also support high impedance headphones but never really tried them or used the headphone jack in general
wheat plume
The touch controls on the earbuds triggers everytime I try to adjust their position in my ear
Fml
And the app won't detect them for some reason so I can't disable the touch controls
shadow minnow

rose kernel
The apple dongle is actually incredibly well built and one of the best DACs you can buy. I doubt the new macbooks will push 300 Ohm cans but anyone with gear like that should already have a standalone option
shadow minnow
I think the website says that there is some lower voltage up to 150 and then it increases from 150 to even a 1000.
So idk if that means they can drive 150 or 1000 ohms 
wheat plume
Apparently that only applies to the USA version of the apple dongle
shadow minnow
But it seems like people online say though well not really checked sources that the new MacBook has no issues with 250 ohms
rose kernel
High impendance pheadphones need more Volatge but require less current in general. Thats promising to hear though and apple has better QC than most so it will probably work for 98% of users
shadow minnow
But ngl the built in speakers are way better too.
It’s still well built in speakers but most reviewers seem to say they are the best in laptops and they really sound solid, better than earphones for sure

rose kernel
Still a terrible signal in my area, the customer support is terrible, and they just nickel and dime you for everything. I got device protection and my phone had a bubble appear on the screen within a week and they said it would cost $200 to replace. I just had an overall way better experience with Verizon and they actually are cheaper with their unlimited plan right now.

That is a horror show
Also to be fair Fi is for data users first

Valve has disclosed that under Deck post that some are actually different
And it's random which one you'd get

Got a 680w power supply atm, looking to upgrade my gpu next gen with a mid to higher tier card. how much wattage do i need on the new one to kinda future proof it a little bit?
halcyon moss
how are we supposed to answer that question
"i want a next gen gpu"
they are not out yet.
formal vortex
well there have been numbers leaked. ofc not final ones
halcyon moss
then you have your answer :p
cursive summit
I wouldn't go below 700W for the next cards
formal vortex
just thought i can preemptively upgrade the psu already so i have everything ready when shit drops
formal vortex
i think its 680w gold yeah
cursive summit
I don't imagine the next bang for the buck cards to be above 400W
That leaves some good space for everything else
Assuming no OC, and I personally don't ever OC
But also undervolt is popular nowadays so that's like, less power usage
formal vortex
well there are still spikes to be accounted for
halcyon moss
IF the next gen spikes
cursive summit
Well it's as good as likely that it does
Nvidia for sure
AMD is also doing the same
halcyon moss
you cant future proof for stuff you dont know
formal vortex
if amd comes out with a midrange card thats on par with 6900xt for 400-500 euros, im in

daring ivy
Also electrical components last longer when they are not pushed to their limits
halcyon moss
Efficiency is always better at lower power draws, since it might be able to run ...
not true at all
daring ivy
Only downside to the 2000w PSU is you'll need a 240V outlet.
I selected that unit for my rig since all the output rails MOSFETs are in parallel, which makes it easier to splice custom cables.
Here's the superflower curve for the 1600w titanium, from Tom's hardware testing
daring ivy
But that PSU is an oddball, it is mostly an analog design.
Besides efficiency is not something I would put first in selecting a PSU, stability of the voltage rails, is more important for overclocking.
Some high core count CPU's like my 7980xe are really tough to cold boot with an all core OC. Capped the cpu vccin current at 285 amps in the bios and the motherboard reboots like 3 times to take care of dram training and ramp up the juice.
X299 vrms aren't beefy enough and the IMC is also a pita to work with.

I got a remanned 1070 Seahawk for $400 during the first crypto bubble and it's been at 2 GHz all day for like 4 years with no issues. Repasted and padded once. They're not as good as a custom loop but they're still good cards.
If you can find a remanufactured product that still has its warranty hop on that shit. It has a bad stigma but remans have much higher QC standards than normal products if the company is worth a shit.

tbf, he provided them with the sound signature they are tuned to
so these are like his own personal way he enjoys sound
the 10Db boost on bass and pulling mids down a bit, it looks like
thick elk
About the base, crinacles neutral profile has less base than the harman curve for iems I think
So by that standard they would be neutral in the base region
rose kernel
It's the same tuning he's done on every collab he's done. I like Crinacles tuning and the fact that it's 7HZ means it will probably be a banger, but we'll see. 7HZ made the timeless but that's it their other stuff is meh.
thick elk
Tuning wise I am probably not a fan of that peek at 8k
Also those iem's are pretty damn large.
I'll stick to my moondrop ssp's nice and small for my rather small ears
rose kernel
I have the timeless and the tuning is pretty close. It's never hurt me but I do favor bright headphones more than most.
I'm just honestly glad to see a truly affordable planar.
thick elk
It just seems quite oversized for my ears mostly.
As for tuning I can get used to different things, as long as it's not terrible. And yet I always use a eq anyway.
rose kernel
I will say that the timeless tips were usable but spinfits and spiral tips definitely helped them stay seated alot better. And it's pretty common concensus that the timeless sound best when they aren't fully crammed down your ear. It's way to closed in but once you find the sweet spot they damn good.
thick elk
Tried spinfits myself but my left ear only really fits foam tips and even the small comply ones are a pretty tight fit.
rose kernel
Order some Chus for the spring tips. My wife has the same problem but the tips that come with the chu are insanely small
thick elk
They mostly seem somewhat shallow, for me the entrance of the ear canal is the bottlneck, past it it's fine
so foam tips are generally ideal
Be it somewhat expensive in the long run
rose kernel
I love foams sound but my ears get nasty so it's a no no for me. Sony had an insanely nice tip set that had really good foam tips with one of their iems. I can't remember which one though but I wish they sold it separate
thick elk
I just have to clean mine every week but yea that's also a drawback.
From the tips I tried besides foams spinfits were best but still more uncomfortable.
rose kernel
cant beat the seal on good foam either. it really isolates well.
This was the kit from sony. It had so many and they were all pretty good

wait....wallpaper engine is a virus???

Hi, on the wooting 60He page, it says it has <1ms input latency whereas on the Two HE, it says <2ms. Is this just an issue on the website or are there differences in the microcontroller/design of the two keyboards?

Well shit Moondrop went all out
3 headphones, all wired
999$ top end electrostats

199$ dynamic driver Void
Void is apparently better than HD800S according to their graphs
halcyon moss
what is moondrop?
halcyon moss
ahh

cursive summit
I love the pricing of Void
Could definitely be a new best sub-500$
However Venus might be poorly priced
600$ is above the Ananda and even discounted HE6se-V2
HE6se V2 is a 1600$ headphone ffs that gets regular discounts to 550$
I really want to see Venus do well but that price is kinda weird, if it was 450$ or so, now that's value
Can't comment on electrostats I know nearly nothing on em

thanks for that not-embed...
as expected that suggest not extra stuff needed to make it work, no SLI/corssfire stuff or risks of microstutters
mild dome
SLI and crossfire had problems due to bandwidth over PCIe being too low and latency too high to get both GPUs to act in tandem, which was a pain to program for and since most people didn't have more then 1 GPU most games simply never got optimized. Best SLI solution by Nvidia required a special bridge, NVlink, that added an extra 300GB/s bandwidth and that allowed you to easily get 150% FPS compared to a single GPU solution if the game supported SLI.
Since the Chiplets are right next to each other I imagine that means a lot of bandwidth and no latency. Hard part would be making the controller to talk to the chips that do the work, and programming the microcode to handle game code such that older games never optimized for the chiplet design don't feel a difference.
pale sigil
ohhhh the steam deck profile glow is dope
ashen spindle
yeah but even the nvlink part didnt elimiate all issues and devs often had to account for that, none of them were able to make it look and work like one gpu
and that should change now, similar to how apple did it too

wheat plume
ashen spindle
probably same as when win 7 to 10 would sometimes just upgrade it

Mhmm.

For a long time windows 7 was also completely hacked when windows 10 required kms, upgrading gave you a license which microsoft saw as legitimate

Well I have been pirating since 7, before that I owned only prebuilds and laptops which came preactivated
Why pay for something you actively want to fail.
I would probably pay a bit more for a laptop if that means it won't come with a windows license.

In a decent number of cases they are the company that refined and idea and popularized it.

is it ok to use a higher watt charger than the device is designed for?
my mom accidently used my phone charger on her phone, my phone charger is 30w and her phone charger is 10W
mild dome
USB is designed to negotiate before full charge is sent, so it's fine
wheat plume
so it will charge the phone at 10w ?
mild dome
Yes. The Phone would ask the charger for 10W, and the 30W charger would only deliver what is asked for
ashen spindle
10w charger also doesnt mean the phone can only do 10w
wheat plume
but it is
ashen spindle
might be but if you just say its a 10w charger the phone could still have a battery that can do more 😛
mild dome
What you should note however about fast chargers is that fast charging wears out batteries faster. The increased charge rate produces more heat in the battery and thus you get less charge cycles out of it.
If possible it's best to have a regular slow charger for things like overnight charging to help maintain your phone's battery. I only use a fast charger myself if I find I need a fast charging like if I forget to plug it in overnight
ashen spindle
eh, if you have a somewhat non trash device they all have optimized battery charging nowadays so fast charge barely batters anymore
just like it used to be better to fully drain then charge the battery but lithium ion batterys dont like that
mild dome
I don't trust that, as I can't see how exactly it works. they have an invested interest in making your battery wear out to help push you to buy the next model.
And anyway, there's no downside to using a 5W charger overnight
cursive summit
GPU shortage is over
Nah my local prices say they ain't
But yeah that's prolly cause local retards bought them at shortage prices and refuse to sell at any lower
Cheapest 6800XT still at 935$
ashen spindle
oh they really dont need to make the battery die faster when everything still drains so much with high power screens etc.
and its not like only phone companies say that
cursive summit
Thank god for second hand market
Although that seems like a fake listing but anyways
mild dome
That drains it over the course of a day. A high wattage power charger charger them up within an hour burning the battery.
In an emergency it's a useful feature, but outside of that I will use 5W and recommend others do too.
I never said phone companies where alone in their sins, I just said I don't trust them. That doesn't therefore mean I trust other nonphone companies. I am doing my best to preserve a lot of the devices I pay for to ensure they last
ashen spindle
yes if its done badly and "burns the battery" then it can be bad
but thats bad design not fast charging at fault then really
but if you think people at iFixit and similar are in with the conspiracy sure xD

In terms of comfort I had the same thing with my hd6xx, they just were not comfortable. I now replaced the ear cups with deeper ones and it's much better though that does change the sound signature, still with some eq to compensate it does sound good again.
the 5 series are much more comfortable imo, it's just that the earcups are just not deep enough for my ears not to hurt, unless I bend them such that I have very little mounting pressure and no good seal. + they move around a lot when I do.
Thicker earcups fixed that
