[worn perch]

Should be able to

[lost fossil]

[worn perch]

So HDR is the thingy the new switch has right and that tv can do it?

[cold elbow]

They dont specific the peak brightness of the tv

So we cant really tell if hdr good on this one but yeah it supports hdr

[lost fossil]

i wouldn't count on hdr to be any good on a tv this cheap

[worn perch]

Fair enough

I mean anything would be better than this ancient ass 720p one I have right now 😭

Yk ive just realised I dont really know what hdr actually is

Its supposed to be brighter and more vibrant colors right?

[brave field]

wider gaps between light and dark colors

[vale glacier]

New controller and headset that I got for Christmas 🔥

Headset wasn't a cheap gift either

That's in USD

[lost fossil]

that headset is nuts

and that controller is scuffed

[vale glacier]

You have one? Or just heard of it?

[lost fossil]

no i was looking at its brand name as my fingers were typing out that intrusive thought

🌰

[vale glacier]

Ohhh. I get it now

[rapid lake]

Nah, I just know

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

You got factorio for gus but not deep rock galactic for me

I didn't get factorio

[thin turtle]

I always mention it

[rapid lake]

it's free demo

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

[rapid lake]

small hmm

but 2d

I'm more excited about the other time I bought

Total War: Shogun 2

[quaint helm]

@thin turtle 🤓

[rapid lake]

Reminds me of ps2 days

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

I saw this in your library

[rapid lake]

All we played was japanese and chinese based games

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

dynasty warriors

some anime games

etc

[thin turtle]

These are fun

[rapid lake]

I still have to get 100% on steam engine

[thin turtle]

Is the gameplay similar to dynasty warriors ?

[rapid lake]

nah

it's a turn-based strategy game

full out war

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

and there's different wars you have to get through

from reading reviews it's not easy

[thin turtle]

I like my games with actually gameplay

[rapid lake]

go buy

$3

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

what's your game worth

deep rock

[thin turtle]

I will buy fallout 67

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

i gotta stop buying games and not playing them

step 1 is to finish rdr2

[thin turtle]

I have a year worth of games

[quaint helm]

this game looks almost like sengoku basara of ps3/wii

[thin turtle]

We ain't playing them all

[rapid lake]

lmao

Lemme see what I got

[quaint helm]

complete ur hitman WOA first 🤓

[rapid lake]

The Witcher 3, Shogun 2, Hunter call of the wild, subnautica, sea of thieves, payday 2, rdr2, peak, hogwarts legacy, hitman, and bf5

[thin turtle]

Almost done

[rapid lake]

all of these aside from rdr2, peak and payday I never played

[quaint helm]

lies i see not lvl20 mastery map

[rapid lake]

what's yo steam

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

I saw that sale

But doesn't seem like my type of game

[thin turtle]

Yer butt

[quaint helm]

what if the full name is yur-butt-stink

[round sierra]

Holy... i might be able to build a PC in 2026
(Oh btw, fuck you Micron and Nvidea, greedy corps)

[civic cloud]

Asus doesn't produce ram

It's mostly coming from micron, Samsung and skhynix

[round sierra]

It literally takes you 10 seconds to read what is being said in the Video

They are starting to produce it in 2026

[civic cloud]

Yeah my wording was bad. They don't produce the part of ram that's in shortage rn🤝

[quaint helm]

till u find out how ridiculous asus pricing is

[round sierra]

Idc, as long as it doesnt cost a liver, i am happy.

[quaint helm]

too bad it will

[thin turtle]

Is asus gonna mass manufacture DDR5 modules

When did they build a factory

[round sierra]

You know they just... pay them to produce stuff for them right?

[thin turtle]

Well are asus as big as nvidia or whoever is tanking the market rn

[round sierra]

My guy, you got copium. I got hopium, we aint the same. Lets just wait 2 months and see

[thin turtle]

The idea is, asus would need to make a whole ram IC factory to "save" gaming

Not just produce the sticks

There's a distinction

[sharp coyote]

[thin turtle]

But if they could then why not

[sharp coyote]

They need like 1k permits to start producing their own IC's

[quaint helm]

i rather hope for asus make more weird ahh monitor than going into ram market

[sharp coyote]

• shit ton of safety and buildings

[thin turtle]

In short @round sierra, this silly black thing is what's causing the ram crisis

[quaint helm]

megawin

[thin turtle]

Moggedwin

[round sierra]

Aint that a CPU?

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

thats fucking memory

[thin turtle]

Nono

[round sierra]

Cuz i still aint experienced in the PC stuff

[round sierra]

What is it then

[thin turtle]

Ram

[sharp coyote]

[round sierra]

Huhhhh

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[round sierra]

Aint Ram those long sticks?

[sharp coyote]

Thats a chip

What goes in them

[round sierra]

Ohhhh

Bruh

[quaint helm]

they aint doing that frfr

[thin turtle]

Do you know what's a motherboard

[quaint helm]

fatherboard

[thin turtle]

These ram things need a "motherboard" to work

[sharp coyote]

That takes like 2-3y

[round sierra]

Yeah i know, its like the whole body

And the case is the skin

[brave field]

yeah no, ASUS ain't saving nobody

[round sierra]

Yeah i can forget building a PC then

[quaint helm]

they saving the weird content creators only that reviews stuff

[thin turtle]

Yeah this thing is called a Printed Circuit Board or PCB for short. It takes care of connecting and coordinate the active parts of an electronic device

[round sierra]

[sharp coyote]

"review" they just plug it in and thats all kekw

[brave field]

Infineon or Winbond have a much higher chance of increasing production of their own DRAM chips, and ASUS, whether DRAM chips or DIMMs, is going to prioritize their laptops and all in ones over all else while undercutting everyone else for DIYers by 10%

[quaint helm]

wait cant even consider them as reviewer tbh.....more like script follower creators 💀

[thin turtle]

Motherboards are like the bugatti of PCBs

[sharp coyote]

Infineon mosfets on top

[thin turtle]

Very sophisticated PCB

That it got it's own name

[quaint helm]

Price-Consuming-Bugatti

[thin turtle]

Yes

[thin turtle]

I woke up in a new PCB

Ok bye

[round sierra]

Good to know, but bad to know knowing i aint getting a PC soon

[thin turtle]

Rip

[quaint helm]

whats ur pcb color

[round sierra]

I might just buy a prebuild then tbh

[thin turtle]

You probably could find a prebuilt with a decent price

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[round sierra]

Those are upgradeable right?

[thin turtle]

They should be

[round sierra]

Read somewhere once that certain parts are locked

[thin turtle]

A prebuilt is just letting another guy put the computer together

[round sierra]

Or wont work if you change them

[thin turtle]

Unless it is one of these funky looking ones

Don't buy these

[round sierra]

Yeah, but thats like selecting the parts. Then paying extra to make him build it for me

[thin turtle]

What parts

[thin turtle]

Negligible amount if I'm being honest

[round sierra]

Might be remembering wrong, but CPU and few others arent changeable

[thin turtle]

People just satanize prebuilts for some reason

[thin turtle]

Yeah compatibility is important

Motherboards only support a certain line of CPUs and a certain type of ram for instance

There's intel motherboards and amd motherboards

[round sierra]

So if i wanna change smt, i might just buy a motherboard?

[thin turtle]

And in these there are subcategories

Sockets

[thin turtle]

No

These stay relevant for a very long time

You just make sure you get new edition

[round sierra]

Mhmmm, noted that

[thin turtle]

This why a prebuilt is convenient if you wanna start

[round sierra]

Just say that building a PC as a person with barely having any idea of building PCs is complex

[thin turtle]

There's a lot of research than can be done after getting the computer to work

And understanding what's going on

[thin turtle]

It is not simple but achievable

[round sierra]

Hm ok, i'll research a bit then

[thin turtle]

Yeah

You usually look for terms like

• compatibility
• upgrade path
• benchmarks

And many more

Even power supplies don't have a standard for connectors

You cannot interchange cables between power supplies

I almost made that mistake

[thin turtle]

Black

[sharp coyote]

There is one

[sharp coyote]

[thin turtle]

This the power supply man @round sierra

You may ask him if he is in the mood

[sharp coyote]

Pong me anytime

Polar bear

[thin turtle]

Yes

[round sierra]

And if he isnt?

Will he devour me then?

[thin turtle]

Bad things might happen

Good thing he is in the mood 99% of the time

[round sierra]

Hm good to know, i will note that

[quaint helm]

Hello tech experts I'm interested in buying a new android phone, should I be focusing on Google Pixel or Samsung phones? If I absolutely had to pick apple I'd like iPhone 15 or above for USB charging. Looking to spend around 500-700 max

Would I be able to afford the most recent model for that budget? What would that be the Samsung Z fold or something, pixel 10?

discord is actually unusable on windows with 8gb ram now

it just keeps crashing what i presume is because of memory

[rapid lake]

No, I got more exciting games to play

Anybody know how to fix code 43 on a Nvidia gpu, 1650 ti. I scrambled through many tutorials and nothing has worked.

My ssd is also spiking to 100% for normal tasks

[zealous glen]

did you overclocked your pc ?

[quaint helm]

DDU will work most of the time

[lost fossil]

it better not be kingston nv2/nv3

[quaint helm]

it feels the same tbh every generation they say price hike

[muted mantle]

i think i should upgrade my ssd when its being used derogatorily

[nova steppe]

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

What’s the app called that I can use to see how many gb have been written to my ssd

The laptop I got has 1700 hours of ssd use which seems like a lot

And 127025 power cycle counts

Which makes no sense

That’s like 50 seconds of use on average for every startup

[quaint helm]

crystaldiskmark?

[rapid lake]

This says a lot about you

[quaint helm]

thats oreo not me

[muted mantle]

yeah thats the one

there is also a boring version if you have too much self-respect

[rapid lake]

I DO NOT want to install discord on this laptop

It’s strictly for work

If I install dc I’m gonna get sidetracked

you're about to install anime girls instead

[rapid lake]

14000 gb read and 10000 gb written

Tf were they doing on this laptop bro

[thin turtle]

that's not bad

[rapid lake]

These numbers ain’t making any sense

[thin turtle]

almost at the end of the ssd life

[rapid lake]

💀

It has 1700 power on hours

[muted mantle]

😭

[rapid lake]

How did they manage to read and write 24000 gb

That is 14gb/hour

[quaint helm]

oreo might know

[rapid lake]

@lost fossil enlighten us

How did we get here

What is this sussy stuff going on with this ssd

[patent iris]

Today I learned how to de-boat Android on a system level without ADP and root.

What I'm getting at is I was able to systematically remove bloatware pre-installed and bloatware re-enabling bloatware that was disabled previously

On my other one it works but on the main user it doesn’t

Even though it’s in startup

[quaint helm]

why the hell my download speed goes up and down (LAN)

[rapid lake]

I wish I could help you, I gotta say network issues are the absolute worst for troubleshooting

[quaint helm]

1 minute = 150mpbs , a minute later = 450 💀 next minute = straight up 0 (steam download)

[nova steppe]

oh, then that's [typically] just the steam download server + the way the files are packaged. It happens

[rapid lake]

I have that happen too

but my internet is not exactly to be taken as a control

[civic cloud]

@rapid lake when are you moving for your masters

[rapid lake]

I'm technically still on my first year so not soon

But I understand how excited you are to see me

See you in 4 years

[civic cloud]

what

feels like you have been studying for 3 years but ok

[civic cloud]

I will have hopefully moved to Berlin and finished my masters by that time 🤝

aka I'll have paid 300k for a tiny apartment and won't have money to see anyone

[rapid lake]

It's practiacally my second year

First year was awful I was in public uni, now I go to private

But I didn't transfer my credits, wasn't really worth it tbh

I passed maybe 6 or 7 classes

[civic cloud]

wow rich boi, going to a private uni now

[civic cloud]

That was dumb, you should have transferred them

[rapid lake]

It's the cheapest one in the country

It's like $3-4k a year but I get discount

Long as I keep my gpa above 3.4 I think

[civic cloud]

How much is a public uni

[civic cloud]

What's that in %

80?

[rapid lake]

it's out of 4 so

85%

Pretty easy tbh

[civic cloud]

"pretty easy" he said

what kinda bitch ass classes do you do? the motto at my uni was "everything above passed is a bonus"

[spiral oak]

man i’ve hopped os’s so much
Linux is great for the freedom and the developer feel you get from it
but
Windows is simply unmatched for apps and all
u guys think i should just try and get used to linux?

[thin turtle]

You can use both

Windows is very useful when it comes to compatibility with software

Especially if you do professional work on the computer

[quartz kayak]

Only get into linux if you are interested in it.

As easy as that

Can you main it? Yeah. Most people that yenuenely main linux end up using simulators for windows tho

Simply bcs windows is so much more compatible with everything

[spiral oak]

correct

i’ll stick with wsl

[fickle finch]

Run a virtual machine with Linux Mint operating system it's the closest feel to a windows operating system but in Linux

Same GUI design as well

[earnest marlin]

i've wanted to use linux for a long time but gaming anticheats hold me back

and i cba to dual boot, i dont want to restart my pc every time i want to launch a fucking game

[rapid lake]

I wonder if steam machine is gonna let us play bf6 and other games with kernel anti-cheat

Would be huge

[civic cloud]

if it runs linux, prolly not

[rapid lake]

They got to find a solution

[civic cloud]

or you just install windows on it

[rapid lake]

And lose all the benefits?

[civic cloud]

its not an apple device, you can do what you want with it

[rapid lake]

I’m having this issue with my ASUS device

Can’t add RAM

[civic cloud]

thats on you for getting a laptop with soldered RAM

[nova steppe]

^

[low tusk]

Unless it was given to him

[quartz kayak]

Bf6 probably, other kernel games not so sure

[rapid lake]

It was too good of a deal to miss out on

[nova steppe]

Not too good of a deal if you're stuck with it as is forever

[quartz kayak]

Just resolder it

Skill issue

[civic cloud]

Why? I don't think BF6 works on the steam deck either, no?

[quartz kayak]

I know theres a way to make kernel anticheats work on linux and im pretty sure that if valve wanted to they would do it with no issues. But i have no idea if thats the case

Or if its gonna be in the future

Hence why i said bf6 maybe and other games inside the steam circle. But anything outside like valorant per say, may not be the case.

[rapid lake]

Valorant isn’t on steam

[nova steppe]

good

[rapid lake]

It’s not a deal breaker is what I’m saying

I just open pdfs on this

A copious amount

[nova steppe]

smh

[rapid lake]

But it lives

[civic cloud]

"pdfs"

[rapid lake]

Fym

[quartz kayak]

Thats the point had

Games outside the steam cycle may not work because if steam adds kernel anticheat compatibility it will probably be only with steam games > linux.

This is assuming they would add it which they defenetely wont

Because

Valve

Pdf's

[rapid lake]

Oh I didn't read that part

But like, the steam machine can only play steam games anyways unless you install a different OS

At which point you shouldn't have issues with anticheat

[civic cloud]

I'm calling you a gooner

[rapid lake]

That's a crazy statement ngl

Coming from you

[civic cloud]

hey! You don't know anything about me

[rapid lake]

good for you for having national production, germany doesnt have it for lots of stuff

They just import

And slap them into pills

And they do work

If you got it on the version that worked before they still work

how do you have a google mail account without using google

[quartz kayak]

You dont need it to be "google mail"

You can have an account be [e-mail]

@civic cloud

[civic cloud]

ok but you cant use that to sign up for a bunch of different websites

[quartz kayak]

you can you just need to put your email manually

then you can sign in

maybe not register automatically

[civic cloud]

Are pre built gaming computers Worth buying or are they terrible PC's?

[quartz kayak]

both

if you dont know what ur doing some are worth buying

most arent tho

my pc was a prebuilt i bought back when i wasnt confortable building a pc, it was a good deal. one in a million bad deals thats the issue

you gotta search urself or ask the help of someone that understands the matter if you want to get a prebuild

[quaint helm]

if its a good combination + cheaper than the custom one with the same parts. yeah why not

just don't get ur prebuild from nzxt thats all

[round sierra]

Nah, thats been a running gag since its been the 2nd delay already

[quartz kayak]

[cold elbow]

My death will also be delayed due to the memory shortage caused by the AI bubble

[rapid lake]

@quartz kayak

My mouse died out of the blue today

[quartz kayak]

come cs

nvm

its joever

[rapid lake]

I’m fuming

It was fine yesterday

[quartz kayak]

what did you do

[rapid lake]

Nothing

Not even wired it doesn’t work

[cold elbow]

I thought my mouse died also few days ago

Tried a different charger and cable and that kicked it back to life

[rapid lake]

Hmm

The led isn’t even turning on

I tried a different cable

Don’t have another charging dock

I’m tearing it down hopefully it’s just a connector or something

[quartz kayak]

conyector

[rapid lake]

Unfortunately everything looks good

No loose connections

Oh nevermind

Disconnected the battery and reconnected it now it works

Oldest trick in the book

[quartz kayak]

wtf

dumbass mouse

[rapid lake]

$20 mouse lives on

My wallet stays locked

[quartz kayak]

wasnt it like 11

[rapid lake]

💀

[mystic solar]

This is bullshit. We haven’t even met yet

[rapid lake]

Ain’t no $11 mouse got software and 1k polling rate

[mystic solar]

Tf can I rate them and they can rate me when we haven’t even made the exchange yet

[rapid lake]

Fb marketplace?

[mystic solar]

Yes

[cold elbow]

Yeah mine was like that also

[mystic solar]

Only time I use Facebook

[rapid lake]

Yeah i found it quite funny

[cold elbow]

Kept using different cables and chargers until one of them made it work

[mystic solar]

Haven’t used it since they introduced this bs though

[rapid lake]

How long have you had yours

[cold elbow]

A year

I think it gets stuck in a state of not accepting to wake up

So u have to reset it somehow

Happened with my logitech

[rapid lake]

That’s what I looked for initially

Because in the app

It said device sleep

[cold elbow]

Yeahhhh

[rapid lake]

He sleep

[cold elbow]

That's probably just it detecting the dongle not mouse

[mystic solar]

Holleee this person is way too trusting lmao, “I’ll put the item in mailbox, you put cash in mailbox” 💀 your lucky I’m an honest person

Don’t really know that you’d want cash sitting in your mailbox though

I’ll put it inside an unmarked envelope

[rapid lake]

I can’t get the gliders or whatever they’re called to sit correctly

[cold elbow]

Why not

[rapid lake]

Idk they’re not aligned

Mouse feels weird

Like there’s friction

[fickle finch]

Uninstall mouse driver then restart PC

[rapid lake]

Bro

It’s not a software issue

[fickle finch]

Oh

[cold elbow]

Reseat them then

U can also try to wash the adhesive side, water will get all the dirt out

[fickle finch]

We should have a command to know the current topic

[rapid lake]

Been doing that for the past 10 minutes

Can’t tell if it’s the top or bottom ones ngl

[fickle finch]

What's the issue exactly

[cold elbow]

Reading chat history can help

[fickle finch]

Wireless Mouse

Something about gliders not being positioned properly

Honestly just use a wired mouse.

[quartz kayak]

me when

[rapid lake]

Do you know what gliders are

[fickle finch]

Nope

[rapid lake]

That white thing

That helps the mouse "glide"

[fickle finch]

Oh

Cant you buy a rubbery thing to put it on it

[rapid lake]

It’s not a particularly mainstream mouse so I’m not sure I’d find them

I’m just gonna keep fiddling with it until they align

[compact sierra]

i think my graphics cards dying i used to get 100fps but now i'm only getting 35 fps

[snow gazelle]

[cold elbow]

Next time when you try to peel adhesive use some heat with a hair dryer or something

It seems like you used a sharp thing to remove it which left a smol dent

It should go away after a while

[rapid lake]

Yeah I did

[fickle finch]

smol dent lol

[rapid lake]

This is not the glider that’s causing the issues though it’s the other one

It’s noticeable especially when moving the mouse vertically

[thin turtle]

Attack shark

[cold elbow]

Might be sticking out from the front

[fickle finch]

Is the mouse old

[thin turtle]

You are older

[cold elbow]

Horsy

[thin turtle]

[compact sierra]

you should be using a wired mouse instead of wireless there's less issues with wired mouses

[cold elbow]

Wireless mice are great tho

[compact sierra]

i used a wired mouse

[rapid lake]

That’s what my grandma says

[cold elbow]

And that mouse can be used in wired mode

[rapid lake]

It is slightly yeah

I got it aligned much better now but still feel that annoying friction

[cold elbow]

Water trick can work here as well... as long as they're wet you can slide them back and forth until you get the correct position

[rapid lake]

I might go over it with a heated iron or something

[compact sierra]

wireless mouses are great untill the battery dies and you have to replace the battery in the mouse

[rapid lake]

You can charge it

[cold elbow]

It's like 2$ part

[rapid lake]

Lol

[thin turtle]

$2 every month

[cold elbow]

U can find replacement battery in a freaking disposable vape

[thin turtle]

Compound interest

[cold elbow]

[rapid lake]

I cleaned the surface where the pads go, did you mean cleaning the actual pads?

Wouldn’t the adhesive wash away

[cold elbow]

Yes

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

Isn't there latency with wireless mice

[rapid lake]

No

[thin turtle]

Wdym no

[cold elbow]

Put it under water and clean it with your finger

[thin turtle]

There should be

[rapid lake]

It’s the same if not better than wired

[cold elbow]

It will get cleaned

[thin turtle]

Impossible

[rapid lake]

If we’re talking about reputable brands that is

[rapid lake]

Go look it up

[cold elbow]

Logitech implementation is even faster than a cable

[thin turtle]

I won't

[rapid lake]

That’s the one I saw yeah

[thin turtle]

So only logitech

[cold elbow]

These boomers dont get it

[rapid lake]

But then it has no adhesive to stick

[rapid lake]

No

[thin turtle]

What did they test against

[cold elbow]

Adhesive will work again when it's dry.

[rapid lake]

Keep using ur annoying ahh wired mouse

I hope so

[thin turtle]

How is it annoying you

[rapid lake]

The cable

[thin turtle]

It's my mouse

Gwt real

[cold elbow]

U know how these guys who stick phone protective glass they use water first

[rapid lake]

On the phone’s screen

[cold elbow]

Doesn't matter which side

[rapid lake]

I’ll give it a shot anyways worst case scenario I just use some glue or something

[cold elbow]

As long as you have a water layer

[rapid lake]

Oh so you’re saying don’t dry it after cleaning?

[cold elbow]

Just gentle and under running water move your finger over the Adhesive

[rapid lake]

Hot water is better right

[cold elbow]

Yeah leave a bit of water there and try to stick it on the mouse, since it's not dry you will have time to align it correctly

[cold elbow]

Just use warm

No need to burn your hand

[compact sierra]

Best temp monitoring program?

[rapid lake]

Hwmonitor?

Unless you want an in-game overlay

Well that didn’t work

I couldn’t align it any better than this and it doesn’t look like it’s sticking out or uneven anywhere

Maybe it’ll work over time

[cold elbow]

i use hwinfo

[quaint helm]

hwinfo > other app

[rapid lake]

Is that what it’s called

I remember hwmonitor for some reason

[cold elbow]

there is hwmonitor and hwinfo

plebs use hwmonitor

nerds use hwinfo

[sharp coyote]

Hwinfo64 is the most accurate app currently

[spiral jasper]

Lcd fans are so fun

[rigid sage]

Anyone have a 49" curved monitor and found a solution for it feeling "too close" to them or is that just the nature of having a monitor this size?

[rapid lake]

I wish I had that problem

[compact mica]

uh

[quaint helm]

sl oooga booga

[civic cloud]

Have you tried moving it further away?

[spiral jasper]

[mystic solar]

Idfk

[little pumice]

found out one of my classmates uses a motorola moto g84

and i also heard it's total ewaste

is it true?

[lost fossil]

that does not sound one bit like ewaste

i would buy a phone with specs like this if it didn't have a holepunch camera

although

although i only use my phone to scroll the internets, this kind of difference seems a bit too significant (my phone is on the right)

at first i thought that snap 695 was, like, not top of the line, obviously, but not too bad

[civic arch]

5000 mah battery decent chipset ?

whats not to like

[little pumice]

decent dawg?

380k antutu v10

[civic arch]

im still on a phone that uses a dimensity 1200+

which is like shit

[little pumice]

i have a56 samsung

1.2 million antutu v11

[civic arch]

cool

phones dont need that much power honestly

browser is not hard to run

i know plenty of people with like an 200€ samsung or a nokia and have no issues

phones are stupid powerful these days too

some phones hit like 4mil in antutu v11?

[civic arch]

weird

mediatek is not far behind

on the 9500

[lost fossil]

this looks so goofy tho

[civic arch]

what is the ux one

like what doe s it mean

[civic arch]

very gamer like

does that have a fan in the back too

[quaint helm]

blackmagic phone 🤓

[lost fossil]

yes, the blue one

in terms of visuals, i prefer the 10

at least the ass

i mean

[quaint helm]

feels weird tbh people might say it have 5 cameras

[civic arch]

is there any phones with perfect screens

no hole punches

lowkey never take selfies to that would be so nice

[lost fossil]

redmagic 10/11

[civic arch]

watching like netflix in that weird 20:9 res

with no black circle

[lost fossil]

or nubia z60/70/80 (same specs (same phone actually) but camera-oriented)

[lost fossil]

no scuffed screen was high key my #1 on the list of things i need from a phone

[civic arch]

dont look too bad

those nubia

[quaint helm]

wont be suprise if linus strip the cooling part out and place their big cooler machine tbh but on another side dont think they will waste so much time on a phone

[lost fossil]

i had a xiaomi mi mix which had its front camera in the chin, then the redmi k20 which had its front camera slide out of the top, then the nubia z60 which i sold and got the rm10

all perfect rectangle screens

well maybe perhaps with smooth corners but that's it

[civic arch]

xiaomi mi mix was very interesting always

do they still make those

[lost fossil]

no

which is a big sadge

[civic arch]

:(

[quaint helm]

z60 looks sooooo rectangle almost pointy edges tbh

[lost fossil]

which is how i like it

[civic arch]

thats like perfect

[quaint helm]

i bet u gonna like samsung S ultra lineup

[civic arch]

hole punch camera :(

[lost fossil]

i looked at my sister's s25 ultra and its holepunch camera and i was not impressed

[plush storm]

hey y'all, any tips when trying to learn LaTex ?

[lost fossil]

that's a question better asked at your local sex shop

[quaint helm]

the hell is hole punch camera

[plush storm]

is there one near you ?

[lost fossil]

no

[civic arch]

open google and look what a hole punch is

then what it leaves behind when used

and look at the cameras on modern day phones

[quaint helm]

ouh ok thanks gemini

[quaint helm]

example?

[civic arch]

s25 ultra

literally all phones

[quaint helm]

looking back at red magic 11 p , it cost like 1k ish only wth

[lost fossil]

get the 10

[quaint helm]

11 is more than 10

+1 number 🤓

[lost fossil]

yeah but like

look at this way

there's windows 11 which is cringe

and then windows 10 which is not cringe

by getting the 11 you'll get associated with cringe

[quaint helm]

sounds like a over-power limit issue

[rapid lake]

You can tell just from that?

Lmao

[rapid lake]

Did you use any of the monitoring software people recommended

Or at least nvidia’s overlay or whatever amd has

[quaint helm]

It’s one of a bazillion things that could be the problem

Hello Ace

Air fryer is so convenient

Can do multiple things in them at the same time

[spare relic]

In 2026 gpu prices are going up by 3000$

Blame ai

[quartz kayak]

but then you have an oven

thats the thing

[vagrant crown]

But oven takes ages to preheat

And longer to cook things

So for simple things I prefer the airfryer

[quartz kayak]

the time it takes to heat up depends on the oven

some are fast some are slow

Air doesnt fry, its a lie

[twin badger]

Do not listen to this guy

Air fryers are fucking goated

I am too lazy to properly cook, so they are just perfect for me

[quaint helm]

🤓

[quaint helm]

perfect for u doesnt mean perfect for other people so yea 'avoid getting air fryer' still valid

[twin badger]

No, its not valid, there is no real reason not to have one

Doesnt take much space, less messy, less hassle to make food

only con is you cannot boil with it, obviously

[quaint helm]

see right some people like to play with fire some like to see the fire

[quaint helm]

big CON so still valid for avoid getting air fryer

[twin badger]

Its not necessarily a reason to avoid getting one

Besides, if you for example want rice, get a rice cooker alongside an air fryer

The amount of hassle i avoid using an air fryer greatly outweighs any sort of negative, if there even are any for me

[quaint helm]

tru

[vagrant crown]

But you can’t boil rice in an oven anyway?

So how is that a con on air fryers

[quaint helm]

its possible tbh

[twin badger]

Sorta possible, yes

But theres better ways
