[snow rover]

but the official controllers are bad

[quartz kayak]

Linus did say these controllers were good

[cold elbow]

original cost a lot and not hall effect

[snow rover]

and this is coming fron someone who has 4 xbox elite controllers

[prisma trellis]

Wait what's Hall effect?

Like

No stick drift?

[cold elbow]

yeah

[snow rover]

yes

[cold elbow]

and

no deadzone

[brave field]

something something measuring distance from center using magnetometers

[prisma trellis]

Nevermind the original controllers I might have to cop that

[cold elbow]

i dont understand why they are not the standard

[quartz kayak]

Cant you just mod normal controllers to have hall effect sticks

[prisma trellis]

My current controller has a bit of stick drift on the left stick

[quartz kayak]

Omg hi big toe i forgot it was you

[cold elbow]

u could but that adds even more cost

[prisma trellis]

Erm I am not big toe

[cold elbow]

not to mention that calibrating might be an issue

[lost fossil]

the xbox-specific controller has a sony layout

[quartz kayak]

Its ok im rich

[lost fossil]

[civic arch]

hyperx cloud 2???

[snow rover]

i am unfortunate enough to have those in my collection

[cold elbow]

they need to cost 500$ to be considered good

[snow rover]

not true

porta pro is good

[prisma trellis]

Nevermind I'm not gonna cop it because I'm so used to the stick being at the top left

[civic arch]

audeze maxwell??

[cold elbow]

that was a joke

[quartz kayak]

They look like two caijus on a band

[snow rover]

a what now

[cold elbow]

cloud 2 are a great deal for their price

[civic arch]

im just gonna buy a mod mic and glue it to my headphones

[prisma trellis]

Y'all think this would work?

Top left stick, Hall effect, $44

[snow rover]

work?

[cold elbow]

why not a mic with arm

[snow rover]

yeah it probably works

[prisma trellis]

Okay

[civic arch]

idk if i want to glue it to my arm

[prisma trellis]

Y'all think that's a good controller?

[snow rover]

i don't know what the hell a gamesir is but

8bitdo have hall effect with the correct layout too

[cold elbow]

these are good and like 30 bucks

[prisma trellis]

Oh shit it's cheaper

Will definitely cop one

[quartz kayak]

@snow rover no screen no knob. Touchpad tho 😌

Also chocky switches

Very cute. Very demure

[snow rover]

low profile weird

normal good

[quartz kayak]

It depends but i agree tbh

People that use low profile should get checked by someone

[cold elbow]

And no writing

Wtf

[lost fossil]

my first mech kb was a das 4 ultimate

[snow rover]

oh man

[lost fossil]

it was such a flex

[snow rover]

daskeyboard

[cold elbow]

I owned the biggest flex in keyboards history

[snow rover]

i can't remember whether das were or still are just chifi rebrands

[cold elbow]

Still no match to it to this day

[cold elbow]

Owned that also

[cold elbow]

They feel like trash

[snow rover]

shocking

[quartz kayak]

yeah do you still look at you keyboad when you type

[cold elbow]

yes

[snow rover]

yes because my keyboard looks so good

[quartz kayak]

i do too

[cold elbow]

to check my temps

and all other things about pc

[quartz kayak]

i just do it bcs im dumb and dont know how to write

[quartz kayak]

show

[cold elbow]

when i dont look at the keyboard im writing with one hand lol

just realized this

[quartz kayak]

only difference between this and the average razer keyboard is the lettering

and the weird programming layout everyone uses nowadays even though they dont program

[snow rover]

razer makes electrostatic capacitive keyboard?

razer is made in japan?

wow!

[cold elbow]

dont know what that is but sounds unnecessarily overpriced

[jovial tide]

I could probably see myself using one of those dinky kbs for a streaming kb, but that's about it

I cherish my other keys too much to go to something that small

[quartz kayak]

no they normally imploment changes that actually benefit the buyer

[cold elbow]

no streamdeck

?

[jovial tide]

You right tbh

I forgor about those things

[humble rain]

if you didnt already

do check out blender 4.0 and up

eevee got a massive overhaul

i can use raytracing at insane framerates in viewport😈

[quartz kayak]

@snow rover how much did it cost

[snow rover]

ion rember

hhkb is overpriced but

[quartz kayak]

theres no way tahts true

just say how much

[snow rover]

will last forever and they have good resale price

[quartz kayak]

no one buys a keyboard and doesnt know how much it costs

much less a patented one

its probably

30000$

whole car

[snow rover]

239 usd is the retail

[quartz kayak]

so urs was around what

500

[snow rover]

add 25% tax so it's like 300

[quartz kayak]

crazy how a panteted tech and actually good keyboard still costs less than whatever razer and asus is selling nowadays

these brands are getting ridiculous

[snow rover]

razer dead in a few years
hhkb only ages

20 year old hhkb is like a desirable item you can sell for way more than retail

[quartz kayak]

idk about allat

i mean cherry was also something else back then

and look at them now

lol

[snow rover]

new old stock west german mx blacks are expensive

[quartz kayak]

but no one buys them

people nowadays dont even prefer any cherry switch at all

[snow rover]

i mean

cherry still very much has a cult following

[quartz kayak]

azAZaz

[quartz kayak]

no they stink

cherry switches are only bought when people buy generic gaming keyboards

[raw forge]

Tell me your thoughts

[civic cloud]

No thoughts, head empty

[quartz kayak]

I arge

[cobalt cobalt]

Hey guys my ssd is at 100% usage for some reason

I have not downloaded anything bad

It's just at 100% why is this

Everything is slow

[arctic yarrow]

Open resource monitor and select the disk tab

[quartz kayak]

is it even possible to have a disk at 100%

from my personal experience the pc wont even turn on if ur disk is at 100%

[arctic yarrow]

I'm assuming 100% utilization of bandwidth, not 100% storage usage.

[quartz kayak]

ahh

[arctic yarrow]

But I could be wrong

[cobalt cobalt]

How

[quartz kayak]

[cobalt cobalt]

It was fine yesterday

[arctic yarrow]

Yep, that's bandwidth utilization

[quartz kayak]

also hi borty

hope all is well

[cobalt cobalt]

Alr how do I fix this lol

[arctic yarrow]

Open up resource monitor and see what's using it all up

[cobalt cobalt]

How do I do that lol

[arctic yarrow]

CTRL-SHIFT-ESC to open task manager

Then in performance, click on resource monitor at the bottom

[lost fossil]

he's already on that tab

[arctic yarrow]

Brain dumb

[lost fossil]

i think u just have a shitty drive

[cobalt cobalt]

Alr windows 11 byw

It's alr tho I found it

Yea uh nor sure what I'm looking ay

[lost fossil]

like a 5400 rpm hard drive or a cheap chinese ssd with no dram cache

[arctic yarrow]

That would do it for windows 11

But... let's see the disk usage in resource monitor

This tab specifically

[cobalt cobalt]

HUH

It's suing like 12mil

Btw

How do I stpp it

[arctic yarrow]

alt-printscreen takes a screenshot of the current window

@cobalt cobalt can you go to the disk tab?

[cobalt cobalt]

Epic games launcher

[cobalt cobalt]

ITS SO SLPW IT DOSENT OPEN

LMAO

Can I just close it

[arctic yarrow]

You can kill the task within the disk tab

[cobalt cobalt]

It's still

Open

???

Now it won't let me end

It closed

gg's tysm @arctic yarrow

Genuineness would've had a breakdown without u

[arctic yarrow]

You're welcome

[jovial tide]

Speaking of, why TF is discord using so much ram lmao

[arctic yarrow]

Discord's back end is chromium.

[jovial tide]

That explains everything then lmao

[arctic yarrow]

yep 😛

[lost fossil]

as as i keep saying

discord is google chrome that can only open one website

the worst part is that a lot of "programs" are like that these days

[snow rover]

electron slop

[fervent granite]

why can't nintendo chill tf out

[rocky dune]

First of few issues: Nintendo

[dense birch]

the issue is more to blame on the hundreds of thousands of people glorifying piracy and spamming "it is morally ok to pirate nintendo games" on every tweet, youtube vid, or other similar things and then directing them to ryujinx/yuzu before it died

thats like telling people its morally ok to buy stolen property then giving the address of bro selling it
regardless of opinions on it thats such a dumb thing to do

[prisma trellis]

It's dumb to direct yes but I agree on the morally acceptable to pirate. Nintendo makes good games but is greedy as hell, especially when they added NS Online, when their past handhelds had free online, not to mention how they are suing Palworld for "Patent Infringement" right after they made lots of money, not even doing it when it first released

[dense birch]

idk thats a bucket of worms i dont think we should get into, merely stating the attention is what did it

[arctic yarrow]

honestly, I don't look at emulation itself as piracy, but obtaining ROMs without purchasing the game previously is piracy.

If you have purchased the game, I don't see an issue with emulating it

[jovial tide]

That's what I do with my games. If I had the funds, I'd gladly dump them myself

But like, game preservation is also important. If they don't want people pirating, bring the old games back up to modern standard and let me buy it on the newer console. Or better yet, give them the love they deserve. Wind Waker HD and TPHD Ports would make excellent starts

[rocky dune]

Yea ☕, somehow doing double the applications, less memory useage, weird

[jovial tide]

💀

[fervent granite]

The only reason I play botw and totk on yuzu is I can upscale and run it at 120 fps like they should

[jovial tide]

Well I mean, thats fair

I don't expect anyone to run those games on their slop of a console

[fervent granite]

but it’s also funny when modders can make games like scarlet/violet actually playable when Nintendo won’t

[quartz kayak]

@snow rover :3

[snow rover]

what are you making

[quartz kayak]

Keycap

Im gonna see how good they look

Looks actually good so far

[snow rover]

uniprofile blanks are so cheap

[quartz kayak]

This is probably cheaper

[snow rover]

how long does 1 take to print

[quartz kayak]

1.6 grams each

21 minutes to print one

But bcs it takes awhile to start

If i make 2 at the same time its like 23 minutes

I can also make doubleshot keycaps

[snow rover]

even if you average 1 keycap at 15 minutes that's still almost 18 hours of printing for 70

[quartz kayak]

No its like 2 or 3 hours i d guess

Wait i ll tell you ina sec

[quartz kayak]

both of us were way off lol

91 grams

is around like 2$

lil less

[quartz kayak]

Funky

Im impressed it actually looks this good lmao

I guess thats bambulabs for you

[snow rover]

that is truly one of the keycaps of all time

[quartz kayak]

ty im proud

of whoever made that design

and the printer

lol

[lost fossil]

isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

[quartz kayak]

what way around

[lost fossil]

180o kind of around

[quartz kayak]

no

the light does make it look that way tho

[lost fossil]

i c

this bit made it look like it was upside down

[quartz kayak]

testing

it feels weird

makes me remember those gameng textured keycaps

[quartz kayak]

@cold elbow didnt know you were on reddit

[humble rain]

so hard to find buckling spring keyboards in this country bruh

people dont even know what an IBM Model M is

[snow rover]

buy unicomp then

[humble rain]

not available either

perks of a third world country

230% tax on gaming chairs

[snow rover]

what the fuck do gaming chairs have to do with anything

[humble rain]

no fucking clue

cables have 120% tax

gpus have 130% tax

on the plus side the retailers buy in bulk to avoid taxes and repackage em here😂😂

allt he warranty is still valid tho

and they have rma too

you need that for ai stuff...

novideo knows that people buy *90 instead of workstation ones

[lilac heath]

And as per rumours 5080 will still have 16gb vram 💀
I think it should have been upgraded to 20 or 24

[rocky dune]

Idk if thats gunna be enough, but I do plan to get it when it comes out, maybe 2 of them so I can replace my 2 current 4090's

[wary pawn]

Nah fuck Texas Instruments all my homies hate Texas Instruments

We use Casio elegant and faster

[winter cairn]

Actually it has a complex mode and when you press alpha and then ENG it can display i

Write me down the hardest integral you have ever seen i will write it down on it and it will try to solve it

[winter cairn]

Well it doesn’t have an outlet which i can use it to plug it into pc so no i guess

But if i had enough knowledge i would tried to install that shit on it

[sour marsh]

Yeah, my teacher was horrible at explaining how to turn the calc to complex mode

[winter cairn]

It has a manual in box why didnt you read it

Or was it given you by your school

[sour marsh]

Didn't read it when I bought it

[winter cairn]

Bruh

[sour marsh]

No biggie, have it working now for like a year

[winter cairn]

Nice

But the funny thing is i dont even know what matrix, distribution and ratio are

Like they are on the menu but they are just there

I am a freshman guess they will teach those later we are at the Limits rn

And i also learn Discrete Math

[lost fossil]

@snow rover do you know how to "re-detect" connected and turned on displays on amd?

when i turn on the tv to watch animu, i turn off both monitors then open geforce experience which reinitializes some things and disconnect both monitors from windows while keeping the tv on, so the tv appears as the only connected display

i need something similar for amd

[snow rover]

?

does that not happen automagically

[lost fossil]

no

well, i would actually prefer if it did not happen automagically tbh

but sometimes i need it to happen, like in the case that i described

[snow rover]

sow hat is the issue

[lost fossil]

i have both monitors and tv turned on
i turn both monitors off but keep the tv on to proceed with watching animu
one of the monitors remains the primary display which is a pain in the ass
i open geforce experience and both turned off monitors disconnect completely
my tv is now my primary display which is what i want

the issue is in step 4 where i open geforce experience

is there something for amd which would do the same thing as gfe in this particular case?

[snow rover]

i don't use amd software 👍

but mayber this can be handled within windows

[lost fossil]

i know that you don't but maybe there was something

[pearl temple]

what the hell? that's literally the exact calculator that i have lmao

[winter cairn]

Yes it is common

[pearl temple]

FX 991EX master race

[winter cairn]

Are you also studying engineering

[cold elbow]

imagine using a calculator for calculations

[winter cairn]

[cold elbow]

what

[winter cairn]

I wanna see your ass after the number gets too big to calculate

[pearl temple]

Computer Science

[cold elbow]

just use AI

[winter cairn]

Mine is Electrical Electronics Engineering

[winter cairn]

Bruh you can only use calculators in exams no phone no AI

[cold elbow]

i

use it at work

[winter cairn]

Oh lol

Ok then

You already passed that chapter

[pearl temple]

I only used it for like calculus 1 and calculus 2

[cold elbow]

lemme show you my actual calculator

[winter cairn]

I will need that shit because in my department most of the classes has crazy amount of math in it

[winter cairn]

Nice

[winter cairn]

Also i cant understand why this calculator cant solve limits

[cold elbow]

math is fun and easy

my fav topic

[winter cairn]

Nah it may be fun but it aint easy

[cold elbow]

what do you find hard in math?

[winter cairn]

The hardest topic imo is Permutation Combination and Probability

[cold elbow]

its annoying yeah

[winter cairn]

But i just started to see limits

Idk how Derivative and Integrals will hit me

[cold elbow]

lol thats not even close to the hard part

which year are you

[winter cairn]

I am a freshman in Electrical Electronics Engineering

Normally we should have seen those topics in High School but they cut them out

Because of a natural disaster

[cold elbow]

yeah first year is just general engineering topics

[winter cairn]

What was your department

[cold elbow]

yeah we took them in high school and even took laplace

[winter cairn]

Fourier and Laplace Conversions huh

[cold elbow]

yeah

the thing that was hell as i recall was Hyperbolic functions

[winter cairn]

But i know one thing a GPA that is 3.00 or higher will land me on a good job because defense companies give too much value to it

[cold elbow]

its just nonesense

[winter cairn]

Atleast the ones in here

[pearl temple]

In my first year of CS I had to take like calculus 1, calculus 2, discrete math, statistics and probability, linear algebra, intro to graph theory

[winter cairn]

And my college shares strong bonds with them

1/3-1/2 of our graduates work there

[pearl temple]

Now in my second year I had to take numerical methods, but that's like literally the only math-focused coursework I have to take

it's all programming now

[winter cairn]

I will take Calc 1 and 2 plus Discrete Math

[cold elbow]

we took numerical methods and analytical methods in first year yeah

[winter cairn]

@cold elbow

[cold elbow]

civil engineering

[pearl temple]

oh and intro to digital systems

[winter cairn]

We will take a programming class in spring term

But other than that they say i should learn Matlab and C in a good level

[cold elbow]

fuckkkk matlab

[winter cairn]

And Verilog VHDL

[pearl temple]

I know C, i dont know what matlab and verilog vhdl is lmao

[cold elbow]

i hated that

so i asked the professor to use mathmatica instead

[winter cairn]

Well yes Verilog VHDL is important for circuit design

And idk what MATLAB does

[cold elbow]

its basically a programming language

[pearl temple]

I figure you're probably gonna have to learn stuff like arduino, hardware programming and all that

[winter cairn]

I guess

But idk i want to design CPU’s chips and shit like that

They always fascinated me

[cold elbow]

automation is fun for you i guess

[winter cairn]

They are like a primitive version of human brain

But idk im just a freshman now

With nearly no knowledge and shit

[pearl temple]

I had to learn C++ in my first year lmao

[winter cairn]

Well it is relatable at some level you are a computer science student

Like in spring term i will see basic circuits

[winter cairn]

And this shit wont work with python i guess

C++ is faster and has more control over hardware

But yes python is easy to code

[quartz kayak]

Look its zod omg

So rare seeing zod on tech channel

What is brave browser

I have never heard it before

[quartz kayak]

Its

A browser

[winter cairn]

Why do you use it instead of Google and Opera

[quartz kayak]

Really good for pc bcs it adblocks youtube without the need of constantly updating

[fervent granite]

Ublock origin does the same thing

[quartz kayak]

And i like it on my phone bcs it stops most ads

[quartz kayak]

You need to constantly update it

Which is annoying

[fervent granite]

It updates by itself?

I’ve never had to manually update it on Firefox

[quartz kayak]

No it doesnt

You gotta manually update it

[fervent granite]

[quartz kayak]

Else u ll see a warning from youtube

[fervent granite]

Haven’t seen that since they introduced it originally I think they’ve changed it bro

Idk about the android version though I use iPhone

[fervent granite]

firefox w

[quartz kayak]

Brave is better anyways since you dont need any extensions anyways

And it adblocks from websites aswell

With no extensions

On both phone and pc

[fervent granite]

Maybe so but I dislike chromium

[quartz kayak]

I have a private dns but i dont even use it now lol

[fervent granite]

I use pihole at home which blocks most ads

Reminds me that i need to update mine

no way logitech still makes controllers like that

That design is like those controllers from 2007 that only support DirectInput and the buttons have "1, 2, 3, 4" on them

[cold elbow]

robotic guys love these

just because they are simple to use and mod

and cheap

[brave field]

didn't think of that

probably additional solder points everywhere on the board and screws instead of breakable plastic tabs

[fervent granite]

as do certain submarine manufacturers

why did the mouse include the thickest usb cable known to man

that shit sucks when trying to use it while charging

also limited to 1khz when using cable not dongle?

which one is that

[rocky dune]

The one I won't probably name :(
(I don't wanna be exposed with the full setup)

[civic arch]

what

is it some fingertip moise

or a full one

i need to weight my mouse its supposed to be 36g

-/+ 3g so i expect 39

Of note: The PC was transported in a not very safe way earlier. It worked right after for a day and then today it’s doing this

[ebon oak]

Your motherboard issue

It is dying

See if it shuts down while working or doing something

[rapid lake]

It won’t start

[ebon oak]

Motherboard is dead

I had the same issue few years ago

[rapid lake]

Sure but it doesn’t have to be that

[ebon oak]

Are you able contact any technician

[rapid lake]

I don’t think that’s needed

And no, probably not

I changed the RAM slot and it did something

I’m in windows

Bro done killed my motherboard when it was the RAM slot

[ebon oak]

ahhh your description sounded like motherboard issue ngl

[rapid lake]

I pressed F1 and it shut down

I rebooted and now it works

Wtf

Hopefully nothing it corrupted

@ebon oak they should hire you ay Dell

You’ll make them a lot of money

Certified Dell technician

[ebon oak]

why tho

[cold elbow]

Something might be shorting out

Since you transported it recently in a sketchy way... it might be a ground issue.

[ebon oak]

yo another dell technician is here

[rapid lake]

I changed the ram slot and it’s working fine now, nothing is corrupted either

[ebon oak]

thats a relief

[exotic patrol]

reseat the ram

oh nvm you already figured it out

[ebon oak]

@cerulean trench

The standard edition is 500 euros here
The only digital edition is 400 euros

[cerulean trench]

I own the standard edition

[ebon oak]

800 dollars ?

[cerulean trench]

I could’ve sworn it was 800$

Yea

[ebon oak]

When did you buy it 😦

[cerulean trench]

Online!

iirc

Or in a dutch store

[ebon oak]

800 dollars is really expensive

[cerulean trench]

I know 😕

[civic arch]

does anyone else have issues with cs2?

its constantly crashing for me and 100% if i play vertigo

even if its a bot match

fps seems normal at around 300-400

servers are also die but its cuz this countrys one is dogshit

[brave field]

always with the ram reseats man

eeeeevery time

can't report any issues with CS2 lately

[lost fossil]

witness the gpu

960 gb of vram

[cold elbow]

RTZ

[civic cloud]

I do not wish to witness

[civic arch]

probably an amd driver issue then

its the only thing i recently changed other than cs2 updating

[fervent granite]

clocked 4x as much as my 4090

[cold elbow]

Just install 4x 4090 and you gonna match that then

[latent drum]

i want to play minecraft with ai

i legit want to add like a helper player in our server

"Hey gpt go collect 92 stacks of dark oak logs" and it will just go managing hunger and everything, running locally too

wonder how many years until thats true

[fervent granite]

you can already do this with baritone

no ai required it’s just a pathfinding bot

[lost fossil]

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007273846543.html

[civic arch]

is that not an ai still

or i would think it falls into some ai category

[civic cloud]

Not every program that can do things on its own is AI

[civic arch]

i think baritone would fall under the ai category

[civic cloud]

Why? "Find Item X and bring it to location Y" is something many games NPC's can do

Pretty much every Mario Party NPC can do that

or some cozy games where you replace your friends with NPC's (I don't have friends)

Nothing about that is AI

[lost fossil]

it's a but not really i

[civic cloud]

not really I sounds just like me omg

[latent drum]

Do you think jensen can afford a 5090?

[lilac heath]

Nope

[civic arch]

Ai is much more than your typical chatgpt type

many things fall into ai

is pathfinding not ai

baritone is probably much more complicated cuz it has to determine the best way to get to somewheee

[civic cloud]

No it's an algorithm

It has a clear input and repeatable output

When you task it with finding a path between A und B it should always be the same result

[civic arch]

yeah its part algorithm but how its used i would say its an Ai

it takes alot of things into consideration

not just a simple a to b

aint most game npcs also called ai?

[civic cloud]

No

I mean yes

But they aren't ai

Why does it look like you can crop that image separately @wicked raven

[wicked raven]

how do you mean

[cerulean trench]

There’s 2 crop things

I’m doing my best to explain it lol

[wicked raven]

i screenshotted the screenshot for dramatic effect

[cerulean trench]

Erm ollright

[ebon oak]

[cerulean trench]

I was also curious about this because i don’t have this on my Iphone

Do you need an app or something for that?

[wicked raven]

you dont have that?

thats like a key screenshot feature

[cerulean trench]

I do 🤭

I’ve never paid attention to it

[junior flax]

worth reinstalling windows on a m.2 ssd 5000mbps?

from a sata ssd

[lost fossil]

no

I mean yes but it's not a night and day difference

[cold elbow]

It's better to keep your games or stuff that need that kind of speeds
Sata ssd is enough for windows especially if it's an ssd with dram

[junior flax]

its a 870 evo i think

[cold elbow]

Great

[cobalt cobalt]

that phone more powerful than ur pvc

[lost fossil]

[exotic patrol]

@lost fossil can you confirm that they've supposedly banned discord in russia

It sounds funny

[brave field]

AM4 CPU prices are getting a little crazy

5700X3D below $150 is incredibly tempting

[lost fossil]

flawed logic how would if be able to confirm that they have?

(they have)

[exotic patrol]

you've got your ways so

[exotic patrol]

but why

[lost fossil]

they identified things that some people posted on discord

don't ask me, i'm clueless

[rose yacht]

anyone that can help me with arduino ide and fucking dht11?

[wispy mesa]

yes

what do you have setup currently

show picture of your wiring as well

[rose yacht]

i am trying to make a humidity, temperature and light sensor work on the arduino uno with the richshield to display on the display the stats

[rose yacht]

yeah uh its not really a wired board

more or less plug and play

[wispy mesa]

Ah ok all good then

[rose yacht]

something like this

dht11 just straight up fucks up with everything, ive tried for a while and i cant seem to get it fixed, even asked a professor and he had a hard time fixing it

[wispy mesa]

I dont see .read() a real thing for the dht11 library

[rose yacht]

the only .read() that should probably be added is (i think) dht.readHumidity()

for example, but idfk

[wispy mesa]

Well youll need dht11.readTemperature() as well

[rose yacht]

added that, now the only error is in both ifs

and this fucker

idk what combo i have to do

DHT dht causes error

[wispy mesa]

try this

basically i moved the read stuff to outside the switch

[rose yacht]

still this annoying little shit

"DHT11" does not name a type

[wispy mesa]

try this one

better one

[rose yacht]

i am going to start tweaking

thank you for helping me tho, i forgot to say earlier

[wispy mesa]

whats the error here now?

[rose yacht]

its always this

i just have no idea why is it ALWAYS this

[wispy mesa]

yea it doesnt like us creating dht11 at the top because of that error 1 sec

[rose yacht]

[rose yacht]

still same error

[wispy mesa]

try this one

i dont got hardware to test sorry

[rose yacht]

you could just verify it

with arduino ide

also still the same fucking error

now its "did you mean dht11"

[wispy mesa]

which library for dht11 did you use?

[rose yacht]

richshield and dht sensor library

[wispy mesa]

one from dhrubasaha?

Ah wait the adafruit one

[rose yacht]

yep

thats the one

[wispy mesa]

what display ?

[rose yacht]

the small led one

with 8 8 8 8

[wispy mesa]

try this

[rose yacht]

the same error happens

and for some reason humidity is broken, while temp is ok

[wispy mesa]

show error if you can

this should fix both

uh

the buzzer makes a sound, the green rgb stays on, while the red one blinks

[wispy mesa]

so no?

[rose yacht]

i guess not

prob gotta tinker with the ports numbers

[exotic patrol]

those are some really small flash drives https://youtu.be/S5CniurnxFU

[civic cloud]

They are average sized!

I should buy a new USB Stick as well, mine are easily +10yrs old

is that not the boat case

That's the spaceship case

I saw them building in it on a stream

i have akko jelly black

[snow rover]

i have a whole bag of switches to lube

when did i buy these again

like a year ago

should probably get around to it sometime

[quartz kayak]

eddie saved me from buying almost 60$ worth of switches

i was crying so hard i came to discord talk about it

[snow rover]

let me guess, you wanted oil kings

[quartz kayak]

nhoo

black inks

[snow rover]

crazy that those still exist

[quartz kayak]

yeah i wanted more of a silent switch

they had silents

but then it added like 30$ to the price

and i was like okay ig i ll go with the normal ones and i didnt bcs they were expensive still

so i went with the akkos bcs they are cheap and alot of people like them

[cold elbow]

got to use an optical drive now

damn they sound so cool

also

[brave field]

They sound cool when your PC is POSTing

should i update to windows 11?

i have the option to

does it remove any files tho

[cold elbow]

It doesn't remove files

Might break something tho

[civic arch]

oh thats very fun

i dont need many programs to work tho

heard theres some performance on win11 for amd cpus

but its probably very small difference

scheduler fun for x3d, zenc cores, and ecores

Sucks though, of all the places to target

[nova steppe]

@cold elbow Is it normal for FanControl to trigger SmartScreen on install?
It's the NET framework 4.8 installer from here: https://getfancontrol.com/

i have the github page up now to try one of the version from there. idk the diff between net 8 and framework 4.8

[compact sierra]

I'm getting the ps5 portal since it's a way for me to play my games portably

Is it any good

[exotic patrol]

it's a waste of money

your phone is more than capable

just get one of those pluggable side controllers like the backbone and save yourself the hassle

[compact sierra]

Is the picture quality good on the portal

[exotic patrol]

It's 1080p

It's not anything special

[compact sierra]

Can it modded to run android on it

[exotic patrol]

no

well some people did find a way to get android running on it but they reported the exploit to sony

and never shared it public

[compact sierra]

How is it when running gta on it

[exotic patrol]

try on your phone with the remote play app

It will be the same exact experience

a live demo

[compact sierra]

Does the backbone have adaptive triggers

[exotic patrol]

I doubt it

But even tho the latency would make them awful so I'm thinking no

Let me check

[compact sierra]

Does the portal have adaptive triggers

[exotic patrol]

None of them have it

[nova steppe]

looked around a bit more, and new versions just happen to trigger Defender as a false positive

[cold elbow]

I don't remember... igot it from git originally and its been years

[lost fossil]

i would prefer to get things from github or gitelsewhere if that's an option

[cold elbow]

They have the git page linked in the website

[lost fossil]

a rare exception

[lost fossil]

is this unreal slander or is unreal actually this bad?

[jovial tide]

It's more of, devs don't know how to optimize their shit properly

Fortnite is (funnily enough) the one Unreal 5 game I play that actually runs butter smooth

[lost fossil]

reminds me of my friend who uses unity (or idk what now that unity is what it is) and he said smth along the lines of "it's very easy to make bad games with it"

[nova steppe]

Yeah, I tried the other version directly from GitHub, but it's just a false positive.
I need to uninstall the laptop's software as it (Fan Control) doesn't work rn.

[civic cloud]

It's bad dev slander

[nova steppe]

However, there's no GPU fan option at all

[lost fossil]

it just means that the gpu fan can't be controlled. if it's a laptop, it makes sense, because there are no dedicated gpu fans, but you can make a gpu-based fan curve and assign it to one of the fans

[nova steppe]

The laptop has 2 fans, with each (labelled CPU and GPU) controllable with its software. It's just not fine control, nor can I set curves

And in Fan Control, I can only select CPU temp sensors

[lost fossil]

just laptop things

[nova steppe]

It also doesn't help that the laptop feet are so short it chokes the fans intake

[civic cloud]

kinky

[lilac heath]

Use laptop stand

[jovial tide]

Lethal Company is a prime example of unoptimized. The (pipeline?) the dev uses to make the effect makes FPS a total slog. But since the game itself is lowered to I think 480p, the game runs decent.

[nova steppe]

I'm just using some scrap plastic pieces to elevate it a bit. I'm not putting another dollar into this laptop, lol

[latent drum]

even rockstar with billions of dollar cant escape jensen torture

just get a controller for ur phone bb

better deal and u can use it in more games

most hand helds can run offline games

no, may be worth it to buy a new phone over the portal tho

[quartz kayak]

yes a steamdeck

a switch

a phone

a psvita

a psp

alot of people still play psvita impressively enough

modded tho

your best option would be saving for a steamdeck imo, you can just play anything you want really

i hate windows caching so fucking much man

92% mem at 6gb out of 16gb ram usage forcing everything to use the fucking slow as fuck page file

[brave field]

Check Resource Monitor @latent drum

that'll usually show where the memory in task manager is going. Its not often it slows your system down if its something like Memory Compression or msmpeng.

[brave field]

Everything blue should be available when a program needs it

[latent drum]

the problem is usually dont

windows LOVES edging

it will hold onto ram and force apps to kill themself until the last megabyte

its not a case of unused ram is wasted ram

its a case of what the fuck is windows saving in memory the equivalent 2 windows Xps in memory

[brave field]

anything weird in the processes dropdown?

[latent drum]

memory compression is at 300 mb

[brave field]

about normal if that's for working set

[latent drum]

i closed every app on my pc rn

except my vpn

and mem usage was still 5gb

jumps to 6gb

restarted pc, maybe the geniuses at MS have an unreported mem leak

instead i got edge back auto launching in the background

Sometimes I feel annoyed about Dolby Vision coming back every reboot. Then I remember some people have to deal with Edge doing it. Why is this still happening this many years in?

huh

what is dolby vision

[brave field]

I don't even know what the desktop app does

[rose yacht]

what does it even do

cuz i never heard of it

[brave field]

I know in other contexts, its some sort of alternative HDR standard. HDR10+ I think?

And its within a video stream itself, rather than being a filter or something that relies on hardware

[rose yacht]

interesting

[brave field]

I was wrong, it competes with HDR10+. Still, something something about HDR image, adjusting contrast and brightness per scene, and making things look gooderer

[rose yacht]

my monitor back home is just hdr ready, no wonder why i never heard of that app
