[gilded quest]

1. check for any firmware updates available for your router
2. download a wifi analyzer app and look at all the wireless channels available. It's possible your network is in a very crowded channel range, and changing to a less crowded channel can help with performance and reliability

[granite finch]

no one asked u to speak

[zinc brook]

what are good wifi analyzer apps, im on android

[full fossil]

Who shit in your oatmeal?

I didn’t ask you to reply to me :P

[gilded quest]

Wifiman by ubiquiti

[zinc brook]

ok

[granite finch]

You’re looking handsome today 😍

[modern terrace]

Doing a crystaldiskmark on my hdd and this thing is screeching at me

[granite finch]

You too bby girl 😍 😘 🥰

[modern terrace]

Probably should upgrade soon

I was getting 134 MBps read speed though and about 136 MBps write speed

[zinc brook]

what do i do when analyzing channel range

[zinc brook]

i get 20mbps down and 5mbps up

i live in london too, even strangee

[modern terrace]

No I’m talking about my read and writes for my hard drive, not network speed

But fr tho that fuckin sucks

No one should live on speeds like that

[zinc brook]

oh, u on a hdd?

[zinc brook]

it does

i use mobile data at home

[modern terrace]

Yeah that’s the one I’m using to test my speeds rn

[zinc brook]

ouchh

[modern terrace]

My ssd is about 5x better than that hdd

[zinc brook]

ive got very nice ssds, samdung 980 and wd blue sn570, all wasted by my wifi

may as well use a hdd and wont see a difference

[fluid ridge]

Hi

Running on 4 hour sleep

Somehow I’ve made it through the whole day

[full fossil]

Good job

[gilded quest]

i've had a headache all day
think its cause i didn't have caffeine

[pliant karma]

But Friday was the last day of class so it’s an excuse to go to the movies with my entire cinematography class then hang till 2am

[gilded quest]

what format did you see avatar in

[pliant karma]

2d IMAX

[full fossil]

Watch the new David harbor Christmas movie

[pliant karma]

3D gives me headaches and was uhh mega expensive

[full fossil]

Violent night I think it’s called

[pliant karma]

Yes that’s on my list

[full fossil]

I wanna see it

[pliant karma]

Lol we made a joke that in 9 or 10 years we’d meet up again to see Avatar 3

Whenever the next one is out

[gilded quest]

how much?

3D IMAX HFR tickets are like $16 here; whereas bog standard tickets are $12

[full fossil]

Damn super chea0

[gilded quest]

I'm gonna try 3D IMAX HFR first, then probably go 2D HFR or non-HFR

[full fossil]

What's hfr

[gilded quest]

depends what kind of screen I want to see it on for 2D

high frame rate

like the Hobbit movies

[full fossil]

Oh shit what movie is offered in hfr

Besides Gemini man

[gilded quest]

avatar 2

[full fossil]

Ah

[gilded quest]

the hobbit trilogy

a few others
its a short wikipedia list lol

[full fossil]

I didn't really wanna watch Avatar 2 but his stupid take on indigenous people just nailed it for me

I went from not caring to actively not going to watch it

[gilded quest]

I mostly wanna see it because it is a technical masterpiece

aka eye candy lol

the first avatar i remember being a pretty big thing for some reason; so I just feel obligated to see the second i guess

[pliant karma]

20.25 for 3D at the Regal Theatre so not too expensive but I still hate 3D movies

[gilded quest]

youch that is pricey

[pliant karma]

16.25 for 2d. Both Adult tickets

[manic torrent]

Yeah it was big at the time but.... Nobody watches it anymore

[gilded quest]

probably haven't watched it in 8-10 years

we saw the original twice in theatres tho

[gaunt hawk]

Help how to prevent windows from force updating to 11

I don’t want windows 11 it’s shit

[gilded quest]

why is it shit

[sterile rivet]

gui is a ripoff of Mac

[full fossil]

Doesn’t make it shit

[sterile rivet]

it’s oversimplified

[full fossil]

I think it’s shit for different reasons

[sterile rivet]

lots of stuff I use is unsupported

[hollow pulsar]

Just toggle the switch to move the start menu back to the left

[sterile rivet]

no

[gilded quest]

why is it a ripoff of a mac

[sterile rivet]

I asked how to prevent windows 11 update not how to live with it

[gilded quest]

what makes it oversimplified

[sterile rivet]

I don’t like windows 11

that’s how now stop trying to convince me to use it

[gilded quest]

Have you tried binging it yet?

[sterile rivet]

can’t use the internet if the computer is not booted

[gilded quest]

the fuck

[hollow pulsar]

So what’s forcing the update?

[gilded quest]

you're using the internet right now dingus

[sterile rivet]

it’s updating and I don’t know if it’s windows 11 or not

[gilded quest]

discord is on the internet

[sterile rivet]

🤓

[hollow pulsar]

Let it finish, then we can discuss.

[sterile rivet]

it says “cleaning up 100%”

it’s done it’s not win11 false alarm

[gilded quest]

so hold up

every time the OS has to do updates; are you gonna freak out its Windows 11?

[sterile rivet]

Yes

[gilded quest]

what the fuck is wrong with you

[sterile rivet]

who are you, my therapist?

[gilded quest]

no cause i aint being paid for this

[hollow pulsar]

Go somewhere else then. This isn’t the place to loose your cool once or twice a month over nothing.

[sterile rivet]

then what is

[hollow pulsar]

When you somehow accidentally upgrade to Win 11, calmly show up and ask for assistance after you’ve googled and have failed to revert.

[sacred jacinth]

disable the TPM in BIOS/UEFI

Problem solved

[sterile rivet]

I don’t know if I have one

[manic torrent]

Too little too late

[hollow pulsar]

Some games require it to be on. But doesn’t hurt to try.

[sacred jacinth]

Only if the user is on Windows 11. They dont enforce said requirement on Windows 10 users.

[gilded quest]

lmao mfr got warshipped

[sterile rivet]

@hallow flume 🤓

quit it you

[sterile rivet]

so you’re calling me mentally disabled

[hollow pulsar]

Let’s just drop it.

[sterile rivet]

totally not a dick move

[carmine burrow]

What if we name it “Warspite”?

[gilded quest]

No i am saying you have an unwillingness to learn things yourself; and instead want other people to do all the work for you.

can't help those who can't help themselves

[sterile rivet]

ok so asking for help is a stupid idea now

[manic torrent]

No, he's calling you stupid, based on available evidence, this seems reasonable

[sterile rivet]

Same thing

[sacred jacinth]

I mean, outside of fringe cases where you would need a TPM, disabling it in BIOS (which you likely can do) will remove your machine from the Windows 11 update path. Case closed @sterile rivet 😉

[sterile rivet]

Thank you

[manic torrent]

Not at all. My son is disabled, but he's not as stupid as you.

[gilded quest]

[manic torrent]

my only complaint about the 3080ti is it's HUUUUUUGE

[gilded quest]

does it use the 3090 cooler?

[sacred jacinth]

Has there been any discussion yet to the fact that the Devs/Publishers behind RAFT have ignored a (quite serious) security flaw in their code for the past 5+ months resulting in it being publicly disclosed on 12/12/22 with there still being no reply or acknowledgment by the creators of the game yet?

https://steamcommunity.com/app/648800/discussions/0/5822622429927260201/

Hasn't seemed to gain any big traction yet, and so far the closest to an official reply the community has gotten is:

"Can't really help if devs choose to ignore it."

From a RAFT community mod...

[manic torrent]

probably similar size

[sacred jacinth]

Vulnerability was discovered by security researchers at Synacktiv.

[manic torrent]

ouch

[sacred jacinth]

They had tried since July to advise the devs, but finally came out with it when ignored for months on end...

[manic torrent]

also so easy to fix

[sacred jacinth]

so far there is no real coverage of it outside of the Steam thread and a single YT vid though.

[sacred jacinth]

exactly, begs the question why it has lasted so long lol

I'd like to wish you all a happy holiday! I know that this time of year isn't happy and joy for everybody but I would like each and every one of you to do as best as you can to put the negative aside and think about the positive in life!

I am so full of happiness and joy I could explode

[sweet forum]

if my pc crashed is there a way to tell what caused it

[hollow pulsar]

EventViewer logs.

And if that’s not too helpful, if you have crash dumps enabled, you can always analyze the memory crash dump file using windbg. But that’s a.. specialized process and one most aren’t familiar with.

[sweet forum]

something popped up with a blue screen but didnt have time to read the error

ill dm u this

i cant send photo in here

[gilded quest]

this is actually getting super annoying

BSOD should display for more than 2.3 seconds

[sweet forum]

haha yeah

legit 2 seconds

thanks for letting me read it pc

[hollow pulsar]

I think it only displays long enough for logging to complete.

AKA there may not be a crash dump file.

[sweet forum]

i can send you the the problem signature

or whatever no idea what i means tho

[hollow pulsar]

This eight year old kid I’m babysitting has a gf

I don’t think that should even happen until 9th grade

High school is like the minimum imo

[gilded quest]

does "gf" mean they share chicken nuggies in the cafeteria?

[full fossil]

Idfk

GF is probably just a glorified friend

[gilded quest]

or maybe shared some goldfish on the playground

[ionic abyss]

so now we have fire cooling for computers

[ionic abyss]

never in my life did i imagine id see anyone cool a pc with fire\

[heady flicker]

I mean, the fire part is an accessory

[ionic abyss]

i have seen controlled co2 cooling

[full fossil]

It’s just a way to get rid of the gaseous propane

[full fossil]

Yeah it’s called dry ice

[ionic abyss]

no

controlled co2 cooling from a tank

the cooling block has a controller board that controls how much co2 is injected based on temps

[heady flicker]

So.. dry ice

[ionic abyss]

kinda

[heady flicker]

exactly that

[manic torrent]

Gas bottle in a chiller with the water. Run gas bottle to a turbo that you use like a jet engine. - fire + cold

[full fossil]

Dry ice is solid

[ionic abyss]

you dont buy dry ice in tanks

[full fossil]

Use turbo to get even more horsepower

[manic torrent]

The cold doesn't come from the fire, the fire is just to expand the gas as quickly as possible

[full fossil]

Use the turbo… in a car

With the co2 cooling the block, then spinning the turbo

How stupid is this idea

[manic torrent]

CO2 block cooling is silly

[ionic abyss]

the guy was using a 80cf tank

[manic torrent]

But a fixed tank of compressed gas to prespool the turbo has been done many times.

[ionic abyss]

of co2

[full fossil]

But… it’s funny

[full fossil]

Use a heat exchanger to supercool the coolant

[manic torrent]

It would cause issues, possibly breaking stuff

[ionic abyss]

well the 80cf tank according to the guy would last aroun 1-2 hours

[full fossil]

Hmm

[ionic abyss]

sub zero temps aroun -40

[manic torrent]

Engines have an operating temperature - lower is not better

[full fossil]

@manic torrent how effective was using co2 to spoil the turbo

Was it more effective than traditional exhaust spooling?

[manic torrent]

Forget CO2, you just use air.

Nono, it's a supplement, not a replacement

[ionic abyss]

air wont get you -40

[full fossil]

Also more eco friendly 😄

[full fossil]

We’re talking about using it to spool a turbo

[ionic abyss]

lol and here i was talking about overclocking

[manic torrent]

Modern cars can use either an electric motor to supplement turbo spool, or more indirectly, an electric supercharger to torque fill before the turbo.

And obviously you can do full antilag, but it is both illegal and very maintenance heavy

[full fossil]

Use a supercharger for low rpm boost, and turbo for high rpm

[full fossil]

Send links?

[full fossil]

Twin charging is cool

[manic torrent]

Way more complex to use a mechanical supercharger

[manic torrent]

Google antilag?

Basically dumps fuel and has it ignite in the exhaust manifold with air that's bypassed the engine.

[full fossil]

https://google.com :)

[full fossil]

That sounds unsafe

Also very fun

[manic torrent]

It ruins the turbo. But it gives you instant torque

[full fossil]

Just puts lots of stress on it I assume?

[manic torrent]

Yeah

[full fossil]

Use nitrous oxide and spray at low rpms

Yes

[manic torrent]

Yep that also works

[full fossil]

Spray nitrous into the turbo intake

[manic torrent]

Nitrous is a lot of complexity and prep though. Managing the temperature, getting the nitrous, etc etc.

[full fossil]

It’s also illegal in some places

Not including Arizona tho so we good

So the 3090 Ti is in stock on nvidia's site for $1100 but it says promotional price. Was it way more expensive before? Should I just wait a bit longer for a 4070?

[full fossil]

That’s my goal

[wraith sonnet]

I cannot in good faith reccomend any Nvidia cards

[vapid crown]

Doesn't the 7900 XTs have high power draw though?

[full fossil]

@manic torrent how effective would it be to have a leading small turbo to mitigate lag time and a big turbo which spools slower but adds more boost

[manic torrent]

It works but it's not worth it. This was a thing in the 90s

[tepid bolt]

7900xt has a 300w tdp

[full fossil]

What about two turbos which are just smaller

[manic torrent]

A modern twin scroll, ball bearing, high efficiency design is incredible

[full fossil]

Hmmm

[manic torrent]

Yeah that is still done, it comes down to packaging

[full fossil]

8 turbos

All massive

Massive lag time but it hits like a truck

@manic torrent I have a feeling that donut media is the ltt but cars

also the lancia delta s4 had this, it won multiple races in group b

[full fossil]

Mhm

[past egret]

very revolutionary but not very applicable in regular racing

The smartest thing to do is quad turbos, each massive

Crazy lag, but it’ll hit like a truck

I use a crappy HP desktop and it works fine

[wraith sonnet]

yeah I literally have a windows vista machine as the best option atm

[wraith sonnet]

okay I could do that but then I would have to deal with the fact that system runs vista

[full fossil]

I just go on amazon and change the url from .co.uk to .Com etc and see which will be cheaper, sometimes it can be a massive difference

[keen edge]

And also that doesn’t make pc go brrrrr

[mint yacht]

Don't forget that you'll have to pay import tax and also VAT when it crosses the border

[full fossil]

Yeah I know amazon factors that cost in and it is still cheaper

how do I increase my laptops battery life

fuck modern standby

[rustic flax]

2020 was the best year for content

[somber minnow]

[zinc monolith]

I just saw a vid on that

[rustic flax]

[somber minnow]

2012 was the best. i thought the world was about to end and shit

[zinc monolith]

Luckily my laptop doesnt vhave this

[rustic flax]

wasnt around then tbf

but 2020 was so much fun

[somber minnow]

yeah i just keep my laptop always plugged in

[rustic flax]

yo twin

[zinc monolith]

Never do that, never, thats equal to draining your battery life

[rustic flax]

2014 was when i got madly into minecraft

[zinc monolith]

If you have one obviously

[somber minnow]

bro there is literally a battery setting if you want to always keep it plugged in

[zinc monolith]

Oh yeah, you meant standby

[somber minnow]

no its in myasus app

it caps the battery charge limit to 60

[zinc monolith]

Guess they felt responsible ¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

[somber minnow]

newer laptops actually stop charging the batteries when its fully charged instead it provides juice directly to the components which also saves battery

he also never founded paypal

never founded tesla

[somber minnow]

that was a conversation with a fake elon musk that later got banned from the server

[somber minnow]

im mean yeah that is correct

hes a businessman

[dull granite]

fun fact

elon got fired as CEO of paypal once

[full fossil]

No he's an engineer

[dull granite]

lmao

his code was apparently horrible

and they had to replace it

yanderedev-style

[amber cairn]

he probably hasn't coded anything in 15+ years and even then he might've been mediocre at the time

so now he tried to code in a language he doesn't know on a codebase he just went "fuck it let's break stuff"

[sonic barn]

Fun fact Elon is fur curious

elom musk is a genius the same way steve jobs was

neither actually did any engineering or work on the product BUT they're excellent businessmen.

Also for adding, I'm not very active in dms and I stopped doing vrc months ago. I spend free time building software stuff

[undone locust]

Cause warzone 2 bad play black ops 2

Nah jk idk, could be many things, my guess either a power spike or driver stuff

[fossil frost]

based on your username, i assume its because you make poor life choices

[undone locust]

Oh Oki ❤️

[proven vector]

Indeed I do

He made graduation though

so i dont really care

Anyways, it isn't power spikes

I have the latest drivers too

So what could it be

[sonic barn]

Check event viewer and see if there's an error still there

[proven vector]

were is that

[sonic barn]

https://www.cyberlink.com/support/faq-content.do?id=10449

Just check it after the game crashed

Or while it's running

[proven vector]

my pc restarts

I can't

I did not realize the Deck resolution would be capped at 720p when docked... Is that a hardware limitation or software limitation that could be changed later?

[gilded plinth]

Pretty sure you can set a resolution when in desktop mode but I haven't tried it yet

[somber basin]

Is 1440p worth it, thinking of making the jump

[reef swallow]

yes

[full fossil]

Absolute class from mbappe

[bleak night]

Yeah just keep a second 1080p monitor as well Text can look smaller with the higher resolution

[fossil frost]

or just set desktop scalling to 125% like normal people do

[bleak night]

Even with it on there still a difference assuming he was getting a 27 inch monitor

[fossil frost]

doesnt matter what the size of the monitor is... 125% scalling will make the text look exactly the same size, as if the same sized monitor was running at 1080p

It is possible they blacklist my ip? or is is something simpler,becuase I bought the iphone 14 pro from them and it is locked for 60 days and I bought it in full $999

I need a opinion, I have a 2060 i want to upgrade but it has to be white to match my setup and i was thinking this 6650xt for 340 but yall think thats worth it?

[fossil frost]

depends on if you need it... if your 2060 isnt good enough anymore... then yes... get the 6650 if thats what you want

if your 2060 plays everything you want to play... there is no point... if it doesnt. 6650 is a good upgrade

[tepid bolt]

My deck can do 4k 60hz when docked

[wanton glade]

Nvm bru I found out, and fixed it

Dumbass mistake lol

[stoic beacon]

Mine does that outside of games, but as soon as I open a game, it drops to 720p

[rain dust]

Plis hälp

[bleak night]

Still windows sizes plays a role in text scaling with the difference in resolution. You cant fluently scale chrome keeping quality the same across monitors unless there an app dont know about

Why not wait for the 8000?

It'd have better ram compatibility by then

isnt it every 2 years

[silver sandal]

Pretty sure that's against rules or TOS

[manic torrent]

probably not

[idle sandal]

Damm

Man the a770 was a handful to get running lmao

[jaunty compass]

I wanted to snag a a750 but they were out of stock so I didn't bother

I wanted one to play with

[idle sandal]

Yeah my CPU is bottle nexking my GPU big time

[jaunty compass]

I'm going to get a battle mage card to play with once they launch

[silver sandal]

If I was in the market for a card I would consider ARC

[idle sandal]

Arc cards trsut from a person who runs arc

[jaunty compass]

I don't want it for my main card but it looks fun to mess with

[idle sandal]

Is a handful drivers are awful

It's to the point where some games preform worse than my 1650 and I still have huge frame drops in bf5 like from 120 to 80

I can't even get the rgb to work because it doesn't change through the pcie slot but through a cable that my motherboard refuses to recognize so I'm running the default pattern lmao

[manic torrent]

yeah the thing is, they are basically beta

[idle sandal]

There was 3 available at my local computer store and now there's 2 and I was the last one to buy one lmao it's been sitting for over 2 weeks

Not a lot of people willing to tinker I guess

[idle sandal]

I'm a Guinea pig

[gilded quest]

I wouldn't recommend ARC unless it was a secondary card of some sort

[idle sandal]

I jsut hope Intel gets their stuff together within the next 6 months so I can get the full power

[fossil frost]

intel can only do so much beta testing internally... and to get all the reports in from the practically unlimited different combinations of hardware and software their cards could be used with, the only thing they could do was release them at "good enough", and see what happened, and just accept the PR cost

[full fossil]

For av- dies

[idle sandal]

Cuz some games it legit performance worse than my 1650 struggles with sildur medium shaders

[manic torrent]

yeah exactly. I would like one for my server

[idle sandal]

I had serious posting issues once I downloaded the drivers lmao had to put a 1650 to post and run ddu to install older ones

[gilded quest]

not necessarily for AV

[idle sandal]

One bonus is the card looks REALLY nice

At least the LE

[full fossil]

Watercooled a380

[gilded quest]

I have a 1080ti, and ARC could be an interesting complement to my card

[full fossil]

Yep :/

[manic torrent]

Thing is I would have to get a coral TPU as well, which is still backed up in terms of stock and expensive AF.

They WERE common and cheap!

[fossil frost]

an a770 could theoretically match a rtx3070, but... the problem is... the firmware, and the drivers... are bad... like... super bad... and inefficient.... intel could make some massive performance gains for the A series of Arc, but... they are going to trickle the fixes out, small incremental updates.. people have already made up their mind that all the A series cards suck anus now... so... when battlemage launches, they will push it with the new drivers and all the fixes, for an even bigger performance upgrade... making B look LOADS better than A

[idle sandal]

I really hope it competes with the 3070 lmao cuz just the naming scheme seems to imply it does

I think Linus also stated that the design made it seem like it was intended to compete with the 3070 with the power delivery and everything

[full fossil]

Z770

[full fossil]

More transistors than the 3070

I think that’s what it was meant for

[fossil frost]

as i said, theoretically... it never actually will, because intel are never going to release the updated drivers for the A series beyond fixing stuff that is genuinely just broke... battlemage will be much much better than the A series

[idle sandal]

But atm it essentially performs slightly better my 1650 except the 1% lows are REALLY bad

After burner shows 50fps on games like bf 5

I had to cap to 120 even though I've pushed 160

Cuz like at 144cap it drops to like 110 or 90 whucb creates some stuttering

I'm sure it could probably be fixed if Intel finally figured out their drivers

[idle sandal]

yeah something like that

But realistically I'm gonna keep this GPU for 2ish years and keep it as a collectors piece cuz I don't think they're gonna fix the drivers this generation

[full fossil]

Yep

@idle sandal I dare you to include it in a custom loop

[indigo plume]

is usb c to usb c cable better than usb a to usb c cable

[chrome yacht]

Can someone invite me to pc servers please?

[silver sandal]

Just search for them

[fossil frost]

no not really, other than C being reversable...

[gilded quest]

For what exactly

For like a keyboard connection? Doesn't make much of a difference.

For device charging? C to C can typically handle higher power

[fossil frost]

A to C can handle as much power as C to C

in fact, A to A could theoretically, because of thicker contacts, handle far more power than C to C

[gilded quest]

Lemme rephrase that
Most chargers don't output high voltages over USB A

They just don't make them

[fossil frost]

usb3-a sockets are much cheaper than usb3-c sockets... all the chargers i have, have a A port and a C port, and both output 5-20v over either port

[gilded quest]

USB A bricks are typically 5V or 9V, whereas Type-C PD will be allowed up to 48V

[fossil frost]

and they were cheapo ones too

[gilded quest]

I think I have a OnePlus charger that does high voltage over Type-A

But most you can buy are type-c

[fossil frost]

most are type c because they are smaller, and thats what your phone has... thats the only reason for type c

[spare shadow]

USB a is 4 wires lol you can terminate yourself and usb c is like as many wires as hdmi

Impossible to terminate hdmi

Well not impossible

Micro usb is simple just like usb a

If only they made a micro usb that had both the cheapness of the old with the durability of usb c

[spare shadow]

Which is why it’s still so common

[gilded quest]

The reversibility of Type-C is also quite convenient

[spare shadow]

You need a whole new set of circuitry to do usb c

[fossil frost]

usb 1 and usb 2 is 4 or 5 wires, usb 3 is 5 9 - 11... if you have a type a port, you connect 1 lot of those wires, if you have a type c port, you connect those number of conductors up to both sides of the connector... please dont talk shit and "lol" at somebody when you dont know what you are on about

[spare shadow]

The simplicity is why usb a will imo not die at least for another decade or more

[gilded quest]

USB-A isn't going anywhere for stationary devices

[spare shadow]

Also usb c is annoying asf when it comes to the cables

[manic torrent]

Yeah true.

[spare shadow]

Some do 5 gbps some do 10 some do 20 some do 200, some only carry power, some can’t do display data, some have proprietary tech in them

[manic torrent]

None do 200 :p

Almost none have proprietary tech in them

[fossil frost]

ive already pointed out that this guy is an idiot, and has no idea what they are on about... so they just stopped talking to me... i expect you wont get a reply from them, as they have no backup to their bullshitting

[spare shadow]

https://www.androidauthority.com/proprietary-fast-charging-3192175/

Some do display but can’t do power

It’s an improvement but it’s far from the hero we had envisioned

[gilded quest]

Okay yes some companies did do "proprietary" specs before then USB PD 240W spec was ratified

[woven merlin]

Hello

[gilded quest]

Bunch of Chinese phones

[manic torrent]

.. what? That seems extremely unlikely and atupud

[spare shadow]

Also I’m just bitter bc the same people greenlit micro usb

[gilded quest]

I'll take micro-b over mini-b any day

[spare shadow]

It’s silly I know

[manic torrent]

Micro USB is an abomination

[manic torrent]

No, I mean I have never seen one and I don't understand why they would ever exist.

[gilded quest]

Not really

[spare shadow]

Untold pain to billions

[manic torrent]

And I don't think they do.

[gilded quest]

Micro B 3.0, on the other hand...

[granite tinsel]

slightly smaller than miniUSB i guess LMAO

[spare shadow]

I just checked lol was thinking of something else lol

[manic torrent]

Hmm? No I mean a USB C cable that is display only

[granite tinsel]

people have done microUSB for display out? ew

[spare shadow]

Like cables that do power but no data

[gilded quest]

Perhaps they meant DP to Type-C?

[manic torrent]

Yes, as I suspected

[spare shadow]

Remember the one with the mini hdmi and micro usb combined

[gilded quest]

Because DP to C won't carry power; but a C to C should

[spare shadow]

That one sucked

[manic torrent]

Actually some dp to C cables have a power C port on the dp end

[gilded quest]

Really? Intriguing. But a single ended DP to C shouldn't....

That's actually rather useful

[spare shadow]

Also why hasn’t dp just replaced hdmi lol

[gilded quest]

Cause I have a portable display that can operate off a single Type-C if it has power on it

[manic torrent]

yeah sadly it doesn't work in that direction - not that it can't, just they don't make them

[spare shadow]

I rarely use usb c bc I don’t have many tech items that are that new except my dock

[manic torrent]

I use USB C for everything, and won't buy new items that aren't USB C.

[spare shadow]

Well I also don’t have any micro usb in my life either thankfully

[gilded quest]

Yeah I pretty much refuse to buy items that aren't type C anymore.

The exception is wired mice...

[manic torrent]

no exceptions.

[spare shadow]

But like go try to find a gaming mouse that plugs in from usb c lol

[manic torrent]

corsair dark core.

logitech G502X

[spare shadow]

Logitech is de wey tho

Mine don’t they r usb a

[manic torrent]

no, they are not.

[spare shadow]

And my mobo only has one c port

[fossil frost]

g502 hero lightspeed... where you desolder the micro usb port and solder a usb-c port in its place 😄

[gilded quest]

Yeah Logitech be smoking something with that

[manic torrent]

they COME with a USB micro to A cable.

[gilded quest]

Can't believe the G Pro super light was fuckin micro B in 2020

[spare shadow]

My Logitech mice are directly corded to usb a

[manic torrent]

oh, so you have shit mice, ok

[spare shadow]

If they come with micro ima not buy another

[gilded quest]

Most wired mice terminate in USB A

It's still the convention unfortunately
