DP has more connectivity fuckery than HDMI tho

but also more bandwidth

so its better most of the times

[thin turtle]

Is this even true

Last I checked HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 are equivalent

Maybe I'm schizophrenia

[civic cloud]

ok with HDMI 2.2 its faster but ive never seen that

[rocky dune]

[rapid lake]

The shitlist grows bigger

[lost fossil]

is that shoebill from kemono friends?

[thin turtle]

bro even hdmi 2.1 is faster than dp 1.4

48>32

get your sussy baka ass outta here

DP is better because free

[tidal plume]

Royalty free

[thin turtle]

means WE don't get charged for it

[civic cloud]

youre somehow right

[uneven heron]

🙁

[lost fossil]

why do tvs not have any dp anyway tho

[thin turtle]

That's a good question

Maybe because DP was late to adopt sound

[round sierra]

Well i'm currently looking there... but most are 240 HZ

Hm, i gotta look deeper then

[thin turtle]

Oh hdmi is just older

[tidal plume]

Doesn’t matter if it’s above they’ll still be able to display 120

I also had a 144hz on my PlayStation

[round sierra]

Yeah i know, thats why i dont want a too high one

144 is enough i'd say

And if i ever switch to PC, then its enough too

[tidal plume]

You get 200hz for 100€

@lost fossil which had the bad colors? VA or IPS?

And IPS of LG does too

[compact mica]

should i get an RTX 5050? my budget is less than 300$ and i want dlss with frame gen and rtx

[lost fossil]

the answer is 50/50

50% no
50% hell no

[snow rover]

for that money you could get a 6800xt or something

[cold elbow]

But they want frame gen

To see higher number

[compact mica]

i already have rx 580 i want to upgrade from it because it has same performance of like good gtx cards

[snow rover]

ok and

[snow gazelle]

6800xt is almost 2x faster so it's actual fps would be the same as 5050's fake frames one

[junior flax]

well thats weird

any1 know what it is?

it goes if i move the window

[arctic yarrow]

Look for a preowned rtx 2070 or rtx 3060

They're under $300

[snow gazelle]

those are worse than 5050

[arctic yarrow]

Shit, you're right. I ran under the prior assumption that the 50 series cards were severely cut down

A 4060 could be an option. I can see a few of them under $300

[thin turtle]

I'm surprised these are still in $300

[quaint helm]

b580 exist

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

they would get higher number fpses by the virtue of the gpu itself being a lot more powerful

[quaint helm]

~~buy 5050 and buy lossless scaling from steam 🤣 ~~

[rapid lake]

You can find those for $160

There are some 3080s for $350

Idk if 4060 is that cheap yet

[lost fossil]

"preowned"
is there a difference between preorder and prepurchase?

[rapid lake]

No?

[lost fossil]

did corpos start using the word prepurchase instead bc preorder started getting bad rep or smth

[snow gazelle]

There's 6700xt as well which is also lot better than 5050

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

ive never seen prepurchase

[lost fossil]

not even on steam?

[quaint helm]

preorder = u order first but u havent pay yet , i dont think people use the word prepurchase lmao

[civic cloud]

but id say
preorder: buy before release
prepurchase: buy before its back in stock

[thin turtle]

No driver update on that

[civic cloud]

i barely buy games :D

[rapid lake]

They get driver updates just not new features

Like fsr 4

But yeah I wouldn’t trust AMD to keep driver support for much longer

Like nvidia

[thin turtle]

They said it will not get day one support

That's already bad

[snow gazelle]

I still get updates on my 6600xt

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Who’s playing new games on day one anyways

[thin turtle]

Rich people

[vagrant crown]

Isn’t a preorder typically without paying or maybe paying a small deposit to reserve something, whereas pre purchase you pay in full

[civic cloud]

that might apply for physical goods but for digital its just full price

or like "preorder now and get one free skin"

[quaint helm]

hello mr cpu circuit builder

[civic cloud]

good morning :)

[vagrant crown]

Xbox are calling the same purchase pre order lol so maybe the terms are just interchangeable

[quaint helm]

evening already but nvm good morning

[civic cloud]

[vagrant crown]

The only time I’ve ever really heard the term pre purchase is a pre purchase vehicle inspection.

[civic cloud]

But that describes a certain time (before purchase) and not an option for buying

It really depends on your needs

I remember using proton for gta, it worked like a charm

[quaint helm]

sexy right this design

[quartz kayak]

No thats buns

[mystic solar]

I’ve tried proton, it disconnects after a few minutes of using P2P traffic when using the free version

[quaint helm]

it exist for 1 year only then gone already 💀

[quartz kayak]

Maybe its not the same as it was back then

I remember back then i could use it all day

[quaint helm]

i feel like ure some apple die-hard fan

no u

shut up and hop on rdo

[thin turtle]

hop

[rapid lake]

let's go cowboy

[thin turtle]

the real test

[rapid lake]

Hopefully no gfx error

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

hold

i made this ahk script and added it to startup to deal with the gfx error with gta 5 5

#SingleInstance Force
Loop
{
    Process, Exist, GTA5_Enhanced.exe
    if ErrorLevel != 0
    {
        Process, WaitClose, GTA5_Enhanced.exe
        Sleep 10000
        Process, Close, PlayGTAV.exe
        Process, Close, Launcher.exe
        Process, Close, SocialClubHelper.exe
        Process, Close, RockstarService.exe
        Process, Close, RockstarErrorHandler.exe
        FileRemoveDir, %A_MyDocuments%\Rockstar Games\GTAV Enhanced\Settings, 1
        FileCreateDir, %A_MyDocuments%\Rockstar Games\GTAV Enhanced\Settings
    }
    else
        Process, Wait, GTA5_Enhanced.exe
}

replace exe names and folders with rdr2

according to google it started as an rdr2 issue but gta 5 5 also has it and for rdr2 deleting cache files was the one time solution
so this script waits until you start the game, the waits until you close it, then deletes the cache folder and recreates it, then wait until you start the game again

wait hold on this is not #gta-tech-support

oh well we don't have rdr2 tech support so this will have to do

is this a .bat

Also windows 11 updated this morning then wifi disappeared from the laptop, it happened on few laptops here already running mediatek wireless cards

Solution is heading to devices manager, you will find the driver for the mediatek has a ! Mark So u just click uninstall then search for new drivers from the devices manager menu ... that should fix it.

[thin turtle]

Android is linux

Let's bring android to pc

This reminds me of something

Windows 8 got criticised for looking like a phone OS

And I think at some point Microsoft made phones or like phone os

I wonder if that was an attempt to make a universal OS at that time

The windows ecosystem

Apple succeeded in integrating that the long way

Common apple w

If amd had half the apple creativity they would have overtaken nvidia long time ago

Apple seems to be a specialist in exploiting the competition mistakes

[quartz kayak]

It was quite literally a phone os

[thin turtle]

[quartz kayak]

If you owned a windows phome it was pretty obvious

Same exact everything including bugs

[thin turtle]

Lmao

Yeah we had a phone from sony that ran on windows

[vagrant crown]

Carl zeiss?

[thin turtle]

Peak technology

[thin turtle]

Idk

The touch screen was so ass

[vagrant crown]

Wdym you don’t know

[thin turtle]

All I remember

[vagrant crown]

Probably fake Sony

[thin turtle]

Maybe

[vagrant crown]

Did you buy from alibaba.com

[thin turtle]

I was like 10 at the time

Or something

[vagrant crown]

Noob

[thin turtle]

I don't remember

My first phone was a nokia

[vagrant crown]

My first phone I don’t even know the make

[thin turtle]

Lol

[vagrant crown]

Was just an orange phone

[thin turtle]

I had two or 3 nokias

[vagrant crown]

Maybe it was Motorola

I’ve had so many Nokias

[thin turtle]

Then I got a Samsung S2 plus

[vagrant crown]

At least 10

[thin turtle]

Then after that note 2

Then a Huawei, and finally my current phone

Conservative phone owner

[thin turtle]

Did you own one of these with so many buttons

Blackberry looking phones

[vagrant crown]

Yeah ofc

[thin turtle]

[vagrant crown]

I had one of these for a bit

The Nokia communicator

[thin turtle]

What the hell

[vagrant crown]

Was like a palm pilot and phone in one

[thin turtle]

Did you own a nokia navigator

These were expensive I heard

We had one

[vagrant crown]

I didn’t no

I played about with them as I had a friend who owned a phone shop

Hence why I owned so many phones I would just swap them all the time

[thin turtle]

I think this model

[void turret]

Navigator before smart phones? Hell nah, I printed instructions and hope the best

[vagrant crown]

I used one of these for a bit lol

[thin turtle]

It had the bounce game

[thin turtle]

Lmao

Nokia wildin

[void turret]

Bounce game, second best game after snake

[thin turtle]

Snake was too hard

[void turret]

The one without colors?

[thin turtle]

Yeah

The snake too fast

[vagrant crown]

This was my favourite Nokia

The glass slider was so slick

[thin turtle]

They all look the same tbh

[vagrant crown]

I think I paid £350 or £400 for this when it released

[thin turtle]

Dang

[vagrant crown]

Nah that glass was premium

It’s pretty mad how Apple completely killed them off

As Nokia were the major player in the industry

[thin turtle]

Apple killed everything tbh

A miracle Samsung managed to survive

Apple removed blackberry and nokia in one go

[vagrant crown]

Blackberries niche was messaging which just became obsolete

[civic cloud]

...people still message, wdym

[cold elbow]

Their Niche was physical keyboard.

What software should I use to start making 3d models for printing?

I've never done any 3d modelling before but I'm trying to do everything in this project from scratch when possible to learn new stuff, and I need to make some sort of mounting bracket and idk where to start or what to even use

[thin turtle]

Explore with autodesk products if you can use the student access thingy

[rapid lake]

It should be free no?

If you mean fusion 360

[snow rover]

just use onshape

[thin turtle]

Student access gives you the professional versions of all autodesk software

[rapid lake]

Does anyone use that... professionally? I'd prefer if I was learning software that I'd probably use later on

[rapid lake]

Hmm let me see if that works for me

Do I just use my uni email then

[thin turtle]

Solidworks might be able to generate the file type required for printing too

Since you legally have that

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[snow rover]

no

[rapid lake]

There's a thing called "slicing" I think that solidworks/autocad don't have

[thin turtle]

The verification process is easy to follow

[snow rover]

but it works about the same as fusion and solidworks while being browser based

[thin turtle]

The Autodesk software for professional 3D stuff is Inventor not Autocad

[rapid lake]

Yeah I know

[thin turtle]

Autocad seems for 2D

[rapid lake]

I'm just saying

[thin turtle]

[snow rover]

you shouldn't use anything but a dedicated slicer for slicing

[lost fossil]

that noctua kuhler didn't work with the intel brackets that i have will have to use elbow 🇬🇷 on the weekend

[thin turtle]

Windows have a ISO file

[lost fossil]

iso
insufferable streamer overload

[thin turtle]

Only iso I know is the Europe thing

International standard organisation

Or something

There's a cute lil story about the standards for bolts

[rapid lake]

@thin turtle ion think it worked lol

Might have to do some stuff before I'm "elegible"

[thin turtle]

They were created because of incompatibility of spare parts during war

Humans can't really progress without war smh

[thin turtle]

Did it confirm your eligibility and stuff?

It is kinda hidden

[rapid lake]

Yeah I found it

[thin turtle]

I don't remember where I found it lmao

[thin turtle]

Nice

[thin turtle]

Get inventor too

It is like microsoft 365 but you run everything locally

Maybe it is like steam more than that

[rapid lake]

can't find my uni on the thing

[thin turtle]

Rip

Isn't there a manual option?

They might verify it manually

[rapid lake]

I have to fill something out to "request" that my uni be added

[thin turtle]

Horse around and find out

[rapid lake]

Oh nevermind

it was just written in arabic

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

yay

[lost fossil]

autodesk

is that like the thing that gauss has

the desk that lifts automatically

[rapid lake]

Yeah that's exactly what this is

It is the very incarnation of that thing that you mentioned

[thin turtle]

Why fusion

Stop

Also make sure to set the units before you begin

These apps are kinda dumber than solidworks for some reason

[rapid lake]

hmm?

[snow rover]

if you're doing anything serious in anything other than metric you're weird and deserve everything bad coming to you

[rapid lake]

Do I seem american

[lost fossil]

you seem ametrican

with the prefix "a" meaning "not", this makes perfect sense

[thin turtle]

AGMA wants to know your location

[thin turtle]

Use inventor for "professional" experience

It's either inventor or solidworks in the workplace afaik

Maybe I'm wrong tho

Committing is a choice

[thin turtle]

How good is the HDR on win11

[snow rover]

bad

[thin turtle]

This is an improvement over sdr

Excuse the glare from the camera

Lemme try again

Bro is red

It seems to work on HDR supported content

The other stuff just looks dim

Like ads

And the UI

So maybe I need multiple profiles for different applications

[quaint helm]

mixed species

[snow gazelle]

bro ate spicy ramen noodles

[snow rover]

this is exactly the issue

there is no working automatic management

sdr content will look like dogshit unless you manually disable and enable hdr to use it only when you're viewing hdr content

auto hdr isn't actually what it sounds like either, it's just tone mapping

[thin turtle]

What about the slider that say "sdr content brightness"

I find it useful

Like 70 brings the UI to good brightness while the HDR content remains unchanged

The hdr content is a youtube video

[snow rover]

anything sdr will still probably not be color accurate

[thin turtle]

I see

Tbf the color is white in the UI so I couldn't really tell

Maybe in a game will be some difference

Hitman supports HDR, I'll see what I get

[snow gazelle]

RT and HDR on 47's shiny head

Question for those how have a adjustable desks do you have any tips on what i should avoid when getting one?

[cold elbow]

Yeah, do you really need it?

[civic cloud]

The cheap ones are wobbly, it's kinda annoying but you do get used to it

make sure you have a good power bar so you only have a single cable running off the desk and everything else can be plugged into that power bar

[spiral jasper]

Yeah im looking for a new desk and one of those will be perfect because i have to sit on my bed to be on my pc

[civic cloud]

That sounds horrible

[quaint helm]

buy a chair and a table from ikea is good enough

[quaint helm]

[quaint helm]

[civic cloud]

Ikea has height adjustable desks

[lost fossil]

is this good

The ms office key I was using is no longer validated

What the hell is this scam

[quaint helm]

[rapid lake]

How many watts is that rated for

I have history with these burning if you plug it too many things

Like actually smoking and burning the wall outlet

[void turret]

This better

[kindred vapor]

does this come with a solar farm setup

[rapid lake]

😟

[lost fossil]

on the wall plug it says 16a 250v
on the pdu itself it says 16a 250v
in the sockets it says 10a 250v

[rapid lake]

😧

[lost fossil]

so idk i would go with the safe bet of 3200w

[rapid lake]

[spiral jasper]

It is, i want a adjustable desk cuz i can sit straighter and move my monitort out of the way if needed

[spiral jasper]

The adjustable table is from ikea

Not electric but still adjustable and i checked the highest its good

[lost fossil]

220-230

[cold elbow]

Ao that's the maximum

[compact sierra]

do i need an anti virus like norton or does windows 11 have it's own built in anti virus?

[cold elbow]

You use antivirus if you lack common sense or do a lot of sketchy activities

Otherwise win11 built in antivirus is enough

[quaint helm]

windows defender is all u need

[quartz kayak]

I dont use anti virus and sometimes i wish windows antivirus stopped existing

[lost fossil]

i think the two of you are forgetting a crucial detail here

[compact sierra]

what's that

[quartz kayak]

what's that

are laptops bad for gaming or are they just not recommended?

[quaint helm]

its not worth it thats all

They are good if you fly alot

It's big but no on/off switch is whack

Theres no good deals in stores

[compact mica]

im upgrading my RX 580 8 GB to RX 9060XT 16GB, i have also a intel xeon e5 v4 2650 smt, 32 GB DDR4 RAM and 300 + 700 GB SSDs, what should i change?

[quartz kayak]

@rapid lake do i buy? Reconditioned like new with 3 years of warranty

Only one i found till now

[compact mica]

the beefiest beef i've seen

[quaint helm]

⭕ 🦵

[snow rover]

reconditioned
costs the same as new

[quartz kayak]

EXACTLY

More expensive even. Its on Pcdiga (other pt supplier) for 550€ but its out of stock.

[quaint helm]

can buy any samesong monitor instead

[quartz kayak]

No samesong has tandem oled

I would prefer samesong as a brand tho ngl

[rapid lake]

Is it cheaper

And why did it get returned anyways

[quartz kayak]

Im trying to figure that out

I contacted support about the price and why it was returned and that im willing to put money on it if its a good deal

But at og price HELLNAH

[rapid lake]

I mean 3 years warranty but what does the warranty cover anyways

Ionno

If it was like 50-100 cheaper sure

[quartz kayak]

I think the warranty is the normal warranty so. I d be more worried about why it was returned and if its scratched or something

[rapid lake]

At the same time it’s out of stock everywhere so

How desperate are we

That’s the question

[quartz kayak]

Still would probably just wait for other monitors over paying that price for something "reconditioned'

I heard msi is close to releasing some cool new mini leds

[rapid lake]

Did you think about getting mini led

[quartz kayak]

The thing about mini led is that they expensive

Didnt @snow rover buy one recently

[rapid lake]

Maybe later yeah, rn they’re too busy making AI features that let you cheat at games

[quartz kayak]

How is it

[snow rover]

idk what the point of miniled is when they cost the same as oled

[rapid lake]

Lumbago

[quartz kayak]

@thin turtle

[quartz kayak]

They last forever like ips suposedly

[rapid lake]

I think he didn’t like something about the local dimming

[snow rover]

i was looking at tcl 27r73q but it costs more than oled so i just bought oled

[quartz kayak]

I would defenetely take a mini led over an oled if they had the exact same specs and formfactor

And price

[rapid lake]

What about that cheap third gen oled from that company that makes cheap monitors

AOC

Second gen or third gen idk

[quartz kayak]

I think they make a cheap miniled too

[snow rover]

not sold in europe

[quartz kayak]

The thing is i dont want aoc on my desk

Its cringe

What am i poor

[rapid lake]

So is your android phone

[quartz kayak]

[rapid lake]

[quartz kayak]

SHUT UP

[rapid lake]

No iphone

Loser

[quartz kayak]

I hate iphone

Android all the way

[snow rover]

old tech would have been less than 100€ cheaper so i didn't see any point in going for that

[quartz kayak]

Anyways

I asked support

Will come back when they answer.

[rapid lake]

The miniled lumbago got is considerably cheaper than the stuff you’re looking at

It was $360

[quartz kayak]

No?

[rapid lake]

Yes

[quartz kayak]

The msi one is basucally the same price

I was looking into it too

[rapid lake]

Which

[quartz kayak]

His

Miniled

Msi

[rapid lake]

There’s an MSI oled for $360?

[quartz kayak]

Monitor

MINIELLD

[rapid lake]

Oh

Didn’t know they made a miniled

If only we had a market for miniled here

[quartz kayak]

What the fuxk

[rapid lake]

People are still buying $600 4k IPS panels

[quartz kayak]

@thin turtle WAKE UP I NEED UR HELP

[rapid lake]

But they won’t import oled because everyone is scared of burn-in

We hate change in this country istg

We hate innovation

[quartz kayak]

Its valid

The reason i dont fully go oled is bcs of the same reason

@lost fossil bad

[rapid lake]

What about miniled

Why is it not popular

[snow rover]

because nobody makes a good miniled at a good price with good availability

all of the good minileds basically cost the same or more as oled or they aren't available

[lost fossil]

not even a day ago 😭

[rapid lake]

This is the only miniled I can find here

Which is actually not that bad

[snow rover]

that is a very good monitor

[quartz kayak]

Looks nice

[snow rover]

that i cannot buy

[quartz kayak]

Like actually

[quaint helm]

ytd?

[rapid lake]

I like edging

[quartz kayak]

New minileds come with a flashlight module

[rapid lake]

Not in stock?

Or

[snow rover]

not sold at all

[rapid lake]

Oof

[lost fossil]

regional pricing

[quaint helm]

look like some ps5 design

[rapid lake]

Come here

[snow rover]

only option is ebay

[lost fossil]

[rapid lake]

Can’t you like, go to a nearby country on the weekend and buy it

[snow rover]

like russia?

idk how that would work with sanctions

[rapid lake]

Or would you have to pay tax on that

[snow rover]

let me just drive to russia and import this tech thing into the eu

[rapid lake]

It’s probably more expensive in russia I would guess

[quartz kayak]

Dont

Ever

Worst idea ever

[quaint helm]

the img = recent or whot

[lost fossil]

how does importing a phone work if you go on vacation a d buy a phone there
like can't u pass it off as that being your actual phone

[lost fossil]

yes

[rapid lake]

Oh there’s this too

For the wide monitor enjoyers

[quartz kayak]

Thats better i think

Bigger = better

[quaint helm]

tcl sell gaming monitor too? eeh

[wary pawn]

They request a receipt etc, verification it was bought before going out of the country. If you can't verify, you gotta pay the tax.

At least that's the shit happens here.
