virtual monitors? the fuck?

[neon mesa]

using a vr headset lel

[night roost]

Yeah thinkpad is as fast as a new laptop after an ssd

[ashen zodiac]

[neon mesa]

my main actual monitor is not fancy at all though

Samsung S22F350FH

[night roost]

Win11 i kinda like it it has some laws tho

Flaws

[ashen zodiac]

i feel you, my pc driving my insane setup is 10 years old, 4670K overclocked to 4.3ghz. still runs well

[neon mesa]

HDD about to die from the consumer market and that's good

[night roost]

Mine has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz and a quadro k1000m

[neon mesa]

no one should ever feel the suffering

[dapper hatch]

Nothing wrong with that or the current setup. The only crime I see is the gaps between the monitors! lol

[night roost]

Its a thinkpad w530

[stoic beacon]

Won't die as long as people want to have NAS, long term storage, etc.

[ashen zodiac]

3rd gen QM is based, those chips are still very decent

[neon mesa]

1TB SSDs are costing like $40 nowadays
just two years ago my SN550 1TB is $120

[night roost]

Yeah

[neon mesa]

1/2TB HDDs are already dead
matter of time before higher capacity one gets hit

[night roost]

And it cost me like no money used

[stoic beacon]

If they get hit, then larger ones will come out

[ashen zodiac]

you mean between the vertical one and the other 2? i have an excuse, the stand on that monitor is broken so it's leaning against the wall.

[neon mesa]

no, HDD has been stuck in capacity for years

they can't shrink those magnetic bits as small as transistors

[ashen zodiac]

a decent one you can actually trust is like €70 but yes they are getting cheap

[night roost]

With the ssd it cost me like 300usd

[stoic beacon]

Trust me then, my 14TB HDDs will not stop being sold for quite a while. SSDs cannot compete in terms of long term media storage and use

[neon mesa]

that's what they said about consumer 1/2TB HDDs like 2 years ago

[dapper hatch]

Lol that works

[stoic beacon]

I never heard anybody defend 1TB HDDs.

[neon mesa]

2 years ago 1TB HDDs were indeed much cheaper than 1TB SSDs
only took 2 years for them to die

[stoic beacon]

HDDs for daily use are no good, but for long term storage, you're nuts if you think people are going to put Plex libraries on SSDs...

[ashen zodiac]

it does, and it means that display won't go to e-waste since i can still use it, even if it has a gap between it and the others

[stray apex]

1tb ssds are going to get more expensive in a year or so

[dapper hatch]

VESA mount?

[stray apex]

right now they're priced low because the market is so shit that they've grossly overproduced

[ashen zodiac]

i don't have space between the desks and the wall, since it came down to millimetres of them fitting there since there's a heater right to the left with it's pipes coming out of the floor, so i can't move the desk forward, also it's expensive when just leaning it against the wall and taping it down works too

not to mention this desk is a shitty ikea table that's like 7 years old

putting a monitor arm on it will probably destroy it since it's pretty far gone as it is. that's why my pc is on the floor, i don't trust the table to hold it up

[dapper hatch]

There’s VESA mount monitor stands that aren’t arms or wall mounts. But I could see minimizing the stuff on the desk at this point. And just to be clear, no hate is intended 🙂

[ashen zodiac]

minimize what's on the desk?

it's just my phone charger, speakers, candy and alcohol and obv the displays

[still light]

Alcohol, peak

Does anyone know of a user named timeless@3067 who is accused of being of a pedo and was in this server?????

[dapper hatch]

And there goes all the fun we were having

[ashen zodiac]

let's ignore em

[rain oyster]

I am coming from the ai spongebob discord channel where there were accusations of a mod who has apparently done some messed up things

He was one of the mods

[nocturne drift]

ye just ignore them for now

[full fossil]

I wish I could afford computer parts

[dapper hatch]

Agreed. But I meant that adding weight to a desk that’s a bit flimsy wouldn’t be a good investment. Not saying that you needed to take stuff off the desk

[rain oyster]

And he was in this server

[stoic beacon]

Hasn't posted anything in here for over 2 years, so you're good to move on

[rain oyster]

Ok well thanks for your time ill leave yall alone

[ashen zodiac]

well all ikea stuff is flimsy, but my pc is in a huge case (https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/RV03/) and it's VERY heavy so... the displays don't add much weight and i've had my pc on this table and it does hold it but it looks sketchy so i put my pc on the floor

[dapper hatch]

Apparently I used too many caps in a message...

[lucid echo]

8TB (QLC, so the most unreliable) SSD's are currently four times the cost of 8TB HDDs. I highly doubt that'll change anytime soon

That's not an accomplishment, really...

[dull granite]

RTX 4060 Ti is bad

[stoic beacon]

"My turd smells better than your turd."

[dull granite]

if it was named RTX 4060 it wouldn't be AS bad

I'm scared about actual RTX 4060 performance hto

[stray apex]

4070 pretty neat
undervolted to 150w power draw with like 5% performance loss

[ashen zodiac]

meanwhile i'm still rocking a 1060 6GB

[night roost]

Atleast it runs games fine unlike mine

[still light]

You play at 4k?

[ashen zodiac]

1920x1200

[still light]

Why not 4k

[ashen zodiac]

16:10

[plush rivet]

you wonder why its running so well

[stoic beacon]

Because 1440p is all my 1080 can handle

[ashen zodiac]

because i can't afford 4k, newsflash some people don't have €5K to spend on their pc setup

[stoic beacon]

That, and my monitor isn't 4k

[night roost]

Me on 1200x800 (on games)

[plush rivet]

hes kind of a known troll
ignore it

[storm wharf]

LTT Video idea. Linus sets up a gaming house with his like home setup XD server in the basement and hubs for the players

[neon mesa]

It already eats like 180-190w stock

[stray apex]

yeah, but smaller number make brain happy

[neon mesa]

Truly an awesome card

Only the $600 tag makes it sour

[stray apex]

I got mine with diablo 4 and the $40 discount, so overall the price was acceptable

[graceful burrow]

Damn they gave you a blizzard game?
Hope you recover soon :(

[stoic beacon]

That's an upcharge, not a discount...

[stray apex]

diablo iv has been reviewing fairly well

[stoic beacon]

So do all Blizzard games, it doesn't mean they aren't heaping piles of addiction based garbage...

[graceful burrow]

Unfortunately the company making it is somehow the worst in the industry

[stray apex]

not all blizzard games review well lol

[stoic beacon]

WoW reviews well, and it's psychologically engineered to drag people to their death with mini-dopamine hits for eternity

[stray apex]

what do you think video games are

[graceful burrow]

Fun
They're supposed to be fun

[stray apex]

and what is fun, chemically?

[stoic beacon]

There are games that are developed for fun, and games that are developed for addiction. It's pretty obvious which ones are which.

[still light]

How's fiablo 4 yall?

[graceful burrow]

Not getting outright and blatantly manipulated by games for addiction

[stray apex]

it seems to be a pretty solid ARPG

[neon mesa]

Don't aim for dopamine hits
Aim for serotonin hits for prolonged happiness

[stray apex]

don't play video games then, ig?

[graceful burrow]

I won't play ones like Diablo and destiny ye

[stoic beacon]

His brain is like a bit. It's either 1 or 0, nothing in between...

[neon mesa]

Many games are still actually fun
Avoid AAA at all cost though they're all shit

[stoic beacon]

Did you know Linus likes waffles, Light?

[night roost]

Whats u guys fav game

[still light]

I was thinking about getting it. The last one I played was Diablo 2 lol

[still light]

Bioshock and RE Series

[stray apex]

did you know that video games have been designed to maximize playtime since they became commercialized?

[night roost]

For me i think elite dangerous

[neon mesa]

Then they failed miserably as i never last

[night roost]

Yeah i have bioshock too

[stoic beacon]

I enjoyed Fallen Order immensely. Though Zelda Twilight Princess is still probably my overall favorite

[stray apex]

I get bored pretty easily, so I've only played one game for an extended period of time
but I mean, in theory they're supposed to hold your attention for as long as possible

[neon mesa]

DCS World, VTOL VR, Beat Saber

[night roost]

Have fallen order too, played it on someone elses pc i bought it for a low price but my pc cant handle it

[stoic beacon]

It's about 50/50. Subscription games and cash shop games certainly, but many games are not designed around play time. In fact, play time only because a huge "judge" of the value of a game after Skyrim came out

If you go back and look, reviewers and gamers didn't talk about how many "hours" they got out of Ocarina of Time or Halo

[stray apex]

play time as a feature isn't the point
the point is that for the vast majority of the existence of games, they were commercially incentivized to maximize playtime for financial gains

[stoic beacon]

In fact, if a game was shorter, it would technically mean more profit because you could spend less time making it and just release more often

[stoic beacon]

Like I just said above, if you use common sense, that's not the case. Releasing shorter games would make you more money, so long as you released more often.

[stray apex]

there was perhaps a period of time between the decline of rental games and the rise of GaaS, but that's a relatively insignificant length

[night roost]

The first time i played fallen order i tought the first scene was a pre recorded cus the graphics were so good

[stray apex]

no, you cannot actually shit out a ton of short games for maximum profits
those games tend to suck, and then you accidentally destroy the western games industry

[stoic beacon]

No, it really isn't. Steam came out in 2003, for example, and GaaS didn't really take off until 2014, even though MMOs existed back then. That's nearly 1/3 of the span of consumer games.

[stray apex]

games have been around for much longer than thirty years lol

[stoic beacon]

I don't know a simpler way to explain why you're wrong when the equivalent of a 2nd grade math problem eludes your mental capacity.

[stray apex]

commercial games have been around since the 70's

[stoic beacon]

For less than 1% of the population, correct. So it's irrelevant.

[ashen zodiac]

1972 lmao https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong

[stray apex]

ah yes
arcades just never existed

it's not a real game unless it's a box inside your house

[ashen zodiac]

the very early 70's

[still light]

Pinball is Destiny

[stoic beacon]

Actually mentally incapacitated
New username idea lol

[ashen zodiac]

pinball was electro-mechanical. not a video game

[fossil frost]

at the time, pinball was just as hard to create as destiny was now

[stray apex]

pinball = pong
kk

[ashen zodiac]

i know that, my parents have an electro-mechanical pinball table from 1973

[stray apex]

I don't think they care lol

[still light]

Can I have it?

[stray apex]

they don't seem to think that arcade games were a valuable part of the history of video games

which is certainly a take

[ashen zodiac]

i had an argument with EthanD earlier today, they just made shit up, and then when i argued back they started ignoring me

[ashen zodiac]

no

[still light]

Rough

[ashen zodiac]

it's how video games began. how do you sell a game in a time where home computers weren't a thing yet

[stoic beacon]

The original point that was being debated was his claim that ALL video games are designed to have you sink as many hours into them as possible. But then his brain dissolved into mush

[neon mesa]

We had home video games since 1986 with the NES lmao

[still light]

Before that even

[neon mesa]

And NES wasn't some elite family thing
It's actually quite affordable

[ashen zodiac]

*85. but no, way earilier. the Apple 2 from the late 70's had a ton of games

C64 too

[neon mesa]

Before they're not home video games that are actually used by the mainstream

[fossil frost]

ah ok... no... all games are not designed to do that... casual games exist... and have existed for a while, and they have always been the "put it down and pick it up later" recurring comeback type of game... and they have been around for a while... save points started that

[neon mesa]

Atari 2600 was probably the biggest

[stray apex]

"video games as a whole have generally been designed to lengthen playtime for a variety of financial factors"
"Yeah well what about some games that didn't do that huh? bet you didn't think of that, huh? rekt"
lmao

[ashen zodiac]

debatable, Atari 2600 was in '77 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_2600

[neon mesa]

You're about 10 seconds late

[ashen zodiac]

i was googling, i can't look at 2 displays simultaniously

[stray apex]

and even games that don't go for that playtime stuff
do literally give your brain happy chemicals

that's how you enjoy things

[ashen zodiac]

Overwatch for example. can you spend money on it? yes. can you grind for cosmetic items? yes. do you have to? no. it doesn't affect gameplay at all other than some voicelines

[neon mesa]

Dopamine hits and Ego stroking

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, that was my point, but it wasn't understood

The reason given that people went straight from renting games to subscribing to Blizzard and Destiny

[molten drift]

I can't wait to get to the end of the work week only 173 mins to go!

Depends on if I see anything to get on the website

[still light]

Never been to an Ikea before.

[molten drift]

I love Ikea so much

[idle nymph]

I also love ikea

[stoic beacon]

Ikea has really nice individual products, and really bad furniture...if you know what to buy, you can get some really good stuff there for extremely cheap

[still light]

I like Aldis

[idle nymph]

I bought a BLAHAJ, a TV stand and à carpet at ikea

[still light]

[molten drift]

I made my desk out of Ikea.

And my magic card storage and then every other part of my room minus electronics and tv stand are Ikea.

[stoic beacon]

Isn't it all still the particle board crap though? Last time I was there, it was all particle board

[molten drift]

Nothing grasping me to go and use the 10$ gift card . And not all of

[stoic beacon]

But that was a few years ago, maybe they've upgraded

[molten drift]

Some of chip board some particle board some cardboard. And some is solid wood

And metal lots of metal

[idle nymph]

Ikea has good thing for cheap, Bad thing for expensive

[molten drift]

I'm loving my new deck box so much

[still light]

Did you go get the dumpster made?

[molten drift]

I just wish I bought a set of d6 with it

No I got a game genic box cause of Amazon credit

[still light]

Ahhh

[molten drift]

But now I gotta find nifty d6 to get and maybe... Buy a second box and a tube for my play mat and a bag to tote it all in I'm using a free bag from my neighbor and.. well I don't work for the water dept lol

[still light]

But with that bag you have access to anywhere you want.

[molten drift]

Can safely say that's not the case.

What about your receipt

[hasty salmon]

dang idk what to do with this case lmao

[still light]

Don't think they sell it anymore?

[hasty salmon]

i paid 400$ for it in 2019

[molten drift]

Recycle it? Make a nice table

[hasty salmon]

[still light]

make a nice table...

[molten drift]

I mean I have a plan to use to gen 4 power Mac to make a table

[still light]

Try it on ebay for like 300 with best offer option on. See what you get.

[hasty salmon]

valid

thanks for the advice

[still light]

But how? Like use it as the stand for the table top?

[molten drift]

The gen 4 power Macs as legs on the left and right side and then use a fastener or adhesive to the top of each case to attach a glass top.

[opal heath]

i just @'d the only person that i saw online

[copper plover]

If you all could give me some advice. I am looking at job offer with a raise of 37%. The down sides are less remote, more hands on and also terrible health benefits. Ive gone to my current work and asked to be brought in line with the average salary for my role. To which they said 30% wasnt going to happen but they would talk with upper management and see about what they could do. My current role doesn't know about the offer I am sitting on.

I would turn down the offer if my current job offered 10% more just due to the better 401k and health benfits

[manic torrent]

Tell your current job to think about this like a new hire, and approach it as such. tell them you have another offer, but he prepared to take it.

You will almost never be able to progress in a company anything like you will be able to buy changing

[fossil frost]

its a personal decision... you weigh up both offers. and work out not just which is the better offer with just £££/$$$, but on time too... if you are now commuting more, thats time and money you are losing, if you have more responsibility, thats time you are losing and pressure you are gaining, you say the other benefits are worse, which makes the offer worse when you take the whole thing into account on average... weigh up which works out best for you... the answer could be "neither", and you continue doing 1 of those 2 jobs while continuing to look for another offer

[manic torrent]

Remember though that you don't owe them shit.

[copper plover]

I think you nailed it on at the end neither is the best option here.

[copper plover]

From everything I have read taking a counter offer is just marking yourself to get fired once they find someone to replace you.

[tardy terrace]

also w/ health benefits make sure they aren't changing anything with that for a couple years

[fossil frost]

personally, ive turned down offers for higher money, better everything overall, because after the interview, i realised that i really didnt get the right feeling from the company while i was there..

[tardy terrace]

HR & hiring managers really do be scummy tho

[copper plover]

The head of IT seems like a micro manager. Its really part of the reason I am unsure

[fossil frost]

Are you renting out someone's shed? Or live with family

[manic torrent]

Don't most people live at home?

[fossil frost]

the best way to avoid paying really high rent, is to be born in the 80s, and to buy a house in the early 2000s, just before the 2008 financial crisis, and pay negative 0.5% interest on your mortgage for the following 15 years

I was born in 2000

[tardy terrace]

++ I love having a yard to work in, lookit my veggies :D

[fossil frost]

1985 for me

[vapid smelt]

And my birthday is on Sunday

[still light]

My rent went from 850usd to 1800usd in 2021

[tardy terrace]

GROSS.

[still light]

It is what it is. Greed is a bitch.

[fossil frost]

my mortgage has been £400 on a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, large kitchen house with a large front and back garden, for 15 years 🙂

[still light]

That would be nice lol

[vapid smelt]

Thank you for maintaining my property and paying off my mortgage, to show my appreciation I'm going to raise your rent

[still light]

I've come to the consensus I'll be apartment living the rest of my life. And tbh, I'm content with it.

[copper plover]

That sounds amazing.

[tardy terrace]

Landlords are scum

[still light]

Not all.

[copper plover]

Most

[tardy terrace]

99.99%

[manic torrent]

It is more or less inherent

[vapid smelt]

I just hate people who rent out houses

[fossil frost]

tbh, the only way to afford a house now, is to live with parents and save everything you have until you have a deposit for a house... as soon as you start paying rent to a landlord, you cannot save for a deposit, and are paying somebody elses mortgage for them

or have a relative die, and have them leave you their house

[manic torrent]

And too bad if you have siblings

[fossil frost]

im the oldest, so fuck em 🙂

[manic torrent]

Line goes up machine go brrrrr

[vapid smelt]

I'm in the will for my folks place

[sage quiver]

Thanks for the alert. Sent you a DM.

[tardy terrace]

My neighbor that I've been helping for a little over 15 years reants her duplex, and the kitchen is literally starting to fall apart, the sink faucet is completely broken, the fridge is failing and the guy refuses to replace it, he replaced an overhead fixed microwave w/ an older just-barely-more-functional model, the plumbing is a goddamn nightmare, and the hvac is so out of date we can't get replacement air filters for central air

[fossil frost]

me 38, 2 brothers, 37 and 35, and sister, 9 😄

[vapid smelt]

That age gap

[manic torrent]

What happened with your sister!

[tardy terrace]

Oh, and the fence is crumbl;ing

[still light]

In America we just had an apartment collapse and they wanted to tear it down before even finding everyone lmfao

[fossil frost]

my oldest son is 18 months older than my sister 😄

[copper plover]

My landlord likes the "wild look" So I cant landscape or do anything on the property. Had a tree branch snap and wreck two cars

[fossil frost]

i was born when my mum was 17, and when she and my dad divorced and she eventually remarried, they, for some reason, decided to have another child... which is my sister... 26 year gap between my youngest brother and my sister

[manic torrent]

Ok that makes sense

[fossil frost]

my kids play roblox and minecraft with my sister, and are regularly on whatsapp group calls with each other, and with the my brothers kids too

[tardy terrace]

what kinda dumb shit is that, that's purely & entirely property hazard

[cosmic ore]

Damn that's a lot. My gf's brother is 13 years younger than her.

[rigid gate]

i am 17 y.o i wish play minecraft with my nephew

@wispy marsh

So is it really worth getting 2K/4K monitors or is 1080p just fine?

[wispy marsh]

Thanks

[dreamy rose]

if you cant see a difference 1080p is more than enough but 1440p is the sweet spot nowadays

[wispy marsh]

I went like this and never looked back

• 21" 768p TN 60hz
• 24" 1080p TN 144hz
• 27" 1080p IPS 240hz
• 32" 1440p VA 144hz (two)

[dreamy rose]

going from 768 to 1080 was nice but i cant run anything at 1080.

[full fossil]

I have 4 1080p 60hz monitors, 2 27" and 2 23"

This was posted on r/gaming, I forgot how much games look like ass on the switch

Well, I'll think about 2K/4K monitors, but what Hz should I consider?

[wispy marsh]

1440p, minimally 120hz

1440p 240Hz is the sweet spot rn imo

Also for real though, I hate the Nvidia "High power" 12V power cable.

PCIe power cables are ALREADY STANDARDIZED. It's like they're ashamed that their cards need three or more 8-pin PCIe cables, so they make their own to disguise it.

Do you want a handheld or just a controller and screen to stream games:
If handheld: buy dedicate handheld
If other: Buy phone controller

[full fossil]

why buy a handheld when you can strap your desktop to your back

[humble tapir]

Personally, if it's bigger than a PS Vita, but is only 60Hz, it's an L :^)

60Hz is ancient technology

[gilded quest]

Just don't skip leg day

[young root]

my tv is 120hz, meaning the only 60hz displays in my house are the wifes phone and my steam deck

and the bedroom tv lmao

[humble tapir]

My Galaxy S20 has a 120Hz mode.

[young root]

or wait what is the ds

[humble tapir]

I fail to see how a gaming handheld can't do the same.

[young root]

battery life

i wouldnt run 120hs on my steam deck

[humble tapir]

I get that, but

[gilded quest]

Steam deck, watch, iPad, MacBook

[young root]

ah shit

[humble tapir]

I'd like to be able to make that decision.

[slim creek]

apple wants to make vr glasses to replace their iphones I fail to see how

[young root]

i forgot my ipad and watch

If I want my handheld in 60Hz, I set that, or 85Hz, or 120Hz.

[gilded quest]

Oh and my TV in my room, but 60hz is fine for video

[humble tapir]

Gaming laptops are the only portable high-refresh-rate solution, and I don't want a gaming laptop :(

[slim creek]

handhelds should have 75hz at a fair price

[young root]

navy, truer words have never been said

[gilded quest]

I want steam deck 2 to have a pro option or something. 120Hz OLED plz

[young root]

but eveything is 24fps anyway, anything professional

[humble tapir]

EXACTLY. I'd be willing to even settle for 75Hz, given it's a handheld.

[slim creek]

I bought one with a 1650 in it and the bottom paint burnt off after I overclocked it for 80 fps in sea of thieves

[humble tapir]

But 60Hz needs to die and get buried already

[gilded quest]

Lol yeah I like YouTube at 60fps

i would buy an oled screen for my deck any day

same resolution but oled

sad

I am not ashamed to admit that I own a PSP go

Hmm

PSP was definitely during my Pokemon phase

[humble tapir]

I modded a microSD card slot into it, so it has 128GB of storage + 16GB built-in

[gilded quest]

I wanna play killzone 3 again

[tepid bolt]

Once that happens RIP oled

[gilded quest]

It'll happen eventually

Look at the state of OLED 10 years ago

And now you can get OLED in everything and it's getting relatively cheap

[young root]

my main monitor is va i believe, i was looking at oled but fuck off with the 1000 dollar tag

[gilded quest]

Hopefully microled can be like that by 2030, or sooner

[tepid bolt]

Oled is cool but the fact that it degrades is wack especially with that price tag

Oled is literally just flat CRT

[gilded quest]

Yeah idk if I'm ready to go to OLED monitors with the current pricing

[humble tapir]

If we're talking about CRT, that makes me angrier about how everything's 60Hz nowadays (handhelds), because I own a 1280x1024 75Hz CRT which has a 1024x768 85Hz mode.

[tepid bolt]

Well higher Hz means more power needed

[humble tapir]

My 20 year old CRT can do 85Hz, but a new x86 gaming handheld can't?

ASUS cannot be the only one seeing that issue.

[gilded quest]

Battery life I guess

[humble tapir]

I'm unsure of if I'm getting the ROG Ally, but NOBODY ELSE lets you have a display mode above 60Hz.

And battery life is a cope, because if you care about battery life that much, you can turn it down.

I want it to be able to spit out a 120Hz picture at me.

[tepid bolt]

Because one draws 100w and the other 15w

[gilded quest]

I think 60hz is fine on a first gen product

[humble tapir]

My four year old phone has 120Hz.

[gilded quest]

That's not the point

[tepid bolt]

Yes but it still won't be as efficient as a steam deck.

[humble tapir]

do not care

[tepid bolt]

Who knows what magic valve put into that thing but no handheld gets remotely close in efficiency

[humble tapir]

This isn't a product vs product thing, because there's only ONE in existence that has it.

[gilded quest]

I think Valve made the right choices for the first Deck

[tepid bolt]

Price was the hardest choice I'm sure

Especially with ddr5 prices at the time

And they put 5500mhz into it

[humble tapir]

I refuse to accept the fact that I have to buy a brand new handheld, which has the same refresh rate as the Nintendo DS.

[gilded quest]

Well it's LP which was already in mobile, but yeah

I can barely get 60fps in civ v

[humble tapir]

And gaming laptops already have high refresh rate displays on them

[tepid bolt]

60hz is fine as you wanna get as much battery out of it as possible

[gilded quest]

If you wanna be mad at someone, look at apple for the $1200 MBA M2 shipping with a 60Hz single zone LCD

[humble tapir]

Let me make that decision, not the manufacturer

[tepid bolt]

And when docked the refresh rate is up to whatever you're plugged into

[humble tapir]

I don't need somebody telling me they no better, and that it'll have zero battery life at 120Hz, or even just 75/85Hz

[gilded quest]

Then go order a custom panel from China and do it yourself

[humble tapir]

Nah, I'll simply wait it out :^)

[gilded quest]

Or do that

[humble tapir]

There is no good reason besides the manufacturer cutting down costs, when they make a "gaming" handheld that's only 60Hz in 2023.

[full fossil]

not truuuuu

nu uh

[gilded quest]

They had to keep the costs down lol

[humble tapir]

60Hz has been around since the dawn of the television, yet we're supposed to accept it being pushed in 2023.

[dreamy rose]

PS Vita had a bloody gorgeous screen.

[full fossil]

the eye can’t see more than 60Hz

[gilded quest]

24*

[full fossil]

60 divided by 24 = 0

[humble tapir]

I'd rather pay extra for a "high refresh rate" model like bruh. I don't care if running high end AAA games at 120 FPS will get me worst battery life

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/unitedgamer-woah-crash-bandicoot-gif-23319448

[dreamy rose]

uh. everything ran at 25 in PAL and 30 for NTSC for the first stretch of their lives, which lasted for a long time.

[full fossil]

[humble tapir]

The TV set itself was 50/60Hz

480i/576i was the standard.

[dreamy rose]

yeah 60 was always possible but content wasnt.

[humble tapir]

and still is.

It's technically a 60Hz image, but it's interlaced.

[dreamy rose]

30 full frames a second.

[humble tapir]

Yes

but my point is that 60Hz is antiquated.

Especially on BRAND NEW gaming handhelds.

[dreamy rose]

Debatable. Power isn't there just yet. AMD will do it soon DW

[humble tapir]

ASUS is already trying to do it.

They just can't be the only one on the planet who is

[dreamy rose]

again, once the power is there many will jump on the high refresh wagon. but for now APUs just arent gonna reach 120 Hz performance at reasonable looking settings and battery life.

[humble tapir]

It depends on what you're playing, again

If you want to keep battery life in check, so setting a lower power mode, yet keeping the display in 120Hz mode, it's possible in, say, an indie title or so

or even an older AAA title

[dreamy rose]

true but majority arent gonna be playing games that are super light they would rather those AAA games that are shittily optimized

[humble tapir]

and then there's FidelityFX Super Resolution ™️ ®️ ©️

[dreamy rose]

and why the fuck are people calling these consoles in the first place? completely illogical.

[humble tapir]

It's not a console wtf

it's an x86 handheld. Consoles are x86 computers, but with none of the software freedoms associated with computers.

[dreamy rose]

its a PC. what SteamOS makes deck a console but Ally isnt because it runs windows?

[humble tapir]

I'm not using Windows on a Deck/Ally

🤮

[dreamy rose]

they are both PCs they both are able to run both. the Stupid arguments people make fr.

[humble tapir]

"Oh boy, time to play some Portal 2"
Windows: "LET'S FINISH SETTING UP YOUR DEVICE"

[dreamy rose]

me neither. Fuck Windows. not even good on a Desktop or Laptop PC. what makes it best for handhelds?

[humble tapir]

SteamOS will take over

and if I don't like SteamOS for some reason, then there's Ubuntu Unity

[dreamy rose]

5% of the market yeah but Developers wont add Anticheat support because some fuckhead said "Linux is for cheaters" and everyone follows because his name is tim fucking Sweeney.

[humble tapir]

bruh

Says who? Activision?

[dreamy rose]

Epic Games.

[humble tapir]

They said that for real????? wtf

That's disgusting

[dreamy rose]

thats why they need to fuck off out of the space the more games they buy the less good it is for us.

[humble tapir]

I'm glad I don't buy from them

I will stick to GOG and Steam

[dreamy rose]

i'm annoyed people still buy from them despite all the shit they have done.

[humble tapir]

same

[dreamy rose]

and the Free games make it a thousand times worse

[humble tapir]

yeah cuz all the fortnite kids will flock to said free game

[formal wyvern]

Anyone have any ideas on which billionare linus had lunch with?

[dreamy rose]

none because he doesnt have friendships with any billionare CEOs

[humble tapir]

but tbh, I hope the ROG Ally turns out good at launch

I want to be able to run certain games at 120Hz

[formal wyvern]

i was thinking jensen huang

[dreamy rose]

the fact they didn't reach out to valve to get SteamOS on it out of the box is a failure in of itself.

[humble tapir]

a little, yeah

[dreamy rose]

he's showing his age him.

[humble tapir]

but I guess you can just manually install it

[dreamy rose]

doesnt help Linux adoption any. if you go out your way to thats great. but its more effective if its shipped in box with SteamOS.

[humble tapir]

True

[thorny axle]

Did I hear right Intel might surpass TSMC again this year in terms of lithography?

[dreamy rose]

people who piss their pants at the sight of a better OS would install shit like Windows themselves.

[humble tapir]

Windows hasn't been good in a long time.

I don't know how people are so reluctant to change

[dreamy rose]

it's gone downhill since XP

[humble tapir]

As somebody who's currently in the middle of said change.

I gotta get one very niche bit of hardware working in Ubuntu

[dreamy rose]

"But Mah Usability is gone when i need to use terimal!!!!!11!1111"

[humble tapir]

LOL

[thorny axle]

That’s pretty subjective

[humble tapir]

Personally, terminal >>>>>>> command prompt > PowerShell (ironic name, cuz it sucks balls)

[dreamy rose]

Terminal is not necessary at all to use it for 90% of peoples tasks.

[humble tapir]

Terminal isn't hard to pick up

You gotta start somewhere.

And if you've ever used a mac, or anything that isn't Windows, you've likely already gotten familiar with it.

[dreamy rose]

its really not hard to start yes. but its not like its required to install anything majority of Distros already come with media players, web browsers and a whole friggin app store. saying linux is scary is like saying that kitten is your sleep paralysis demon, SCHTUPID!

[humble tapir]

yes

there's a little learning tool built into Linux too

It's called man

[dreamy rose]

Gimme Gimme Gimme

[humble tapir]

but for real, there is absolutely zero reason you need Windows on a handheld

[full fossil]

windows is only “good” because of software support

[humble tapir]

Wine/CrossOver + Lutris eliminates that point

I will setup my ROG Ally as a portable workstation + gaming device to prove it

[dreamy rose]

that's not even a point when Windows sucks down more resources and even lowers battery life. it does this on EVERY device.

[humble tapir]

Windows is super bloated

It literally has several services assigned to forcibly updating your system.

[dreamy rose]

2GB at Idle? no thanks. Fuck GNOME too. hate that shit.

[humble tapir]

Including the Windows Update Service Medic, which has privileges ABOVE admin, which ONLY serves to re-enable Windows Update when the user disables it.

I hate this with a passion. I want Windows Update to die.

[dreamy rose]

thefuck does linux need 1.5GB at Idle for?

[humble tapir]

Unity > GNOME

Hell, on a handheld, MATE might even be better LOL

[dreamy rose]

KDE> all

[humble tapir]

I'm not huge into that

[dreamy rose]

KDE is perfect. its fully featured and its light with full Wayland support. XFCE is the same but less so.

[humble tapir]

Yeah, I prefer Xorg lol

Wayland is too young

[echo canopy]

No its not.

[dreamy rose]

X is dead at this point

[echo canopy]

The only issues with it is its implementations and kde has a full one

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia too

[humble tapir]

I recall having issues with Wayland

but I can't remember which applications in particular conflicted with it

[dreamy rose]

how long ago?

[humble tapir]

Like under a month ago

I know XScreenSaver is broken

Even though it's been ported to other shit already (like how you can run it on mac)

[dreamy rose]

because its for X and not Wayland?

[echo canopy]

maybe because its X

Or that its shit, SDDM default (which is xorg) works fine with a wayland KDE instance and or you can make it wayland managed by KDE

[dreamy rose]

2 weeks ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uRfvM08Yw

[echo canopy]

If you want backwards compatibility we have xwayland.
want global hotkeys or window sharing between aplcations? we have portals
the only thing wayland (gnome/KDE) is missing is things xorg does not have

[dreamy rose]

you can hold on to dying platforms all you want its still dead

Hello

I have a free trial that I don’t want, but Mr Tim Apple doesn’t let me cancel the subscription

Please help me

[lunar anchor]

i fly back home next week and i cannot fukin wait to leave car hell

[lunar anchor]

to what\

[dreamy rose]

thats how Apple makes their money

[bold sedge]

Something called pacemaker

It’s a crappy ai music mixer

[bold sedge]

But is there a way to fix

[lunar anchor]

if its not letting you cancel notify your bank

it should charge your credit card and you should just be able to dispute the charge

[bold sedge]

#screenshots message

The video of me trying to cancel

[lunar anchor]

i saw

[bold sedge]

It was a mistake on my half

[lunar anchor]

if you want the cancel button to work id try the usual of checking for updates and restarting your phone, if it still doesnt work try and go through your bank

[lunar anchor]

signing up for a free trial does not mean you consented to have your money taken

if they charge you and its not letting you cancel you would be in the right to dispute the charge

[bold sedge]

Ok

[humble tapir]

Can you try logging in on a browser?

[lunar anchor]

this

[humble tapir]

Doesn't Apple let you view your settings from a browser?

[bold sedge]

Tried, redirected me to settings

[humble tapir]

iOS has been buggy for a minute now lol

[lunar anchor]

doesnt the app have a browser page

like they should have a website you can log in on

[bold sedge]

Ima update and see if that is the fix

I don’t have my pc on me rn

I’m away from it for 2 weeks

[humble tapir]

It's my old phone for a reason.

[bold sedge]

It wasn’t discontinued?

[humble tapir]

It was?

[bold sedge]

I mean

[bold sedge]

Apps should have stopped supporting it a while ago now

The iPhone SE 1st gen still gets updates, last I checked

ye sofware

use vlc or musicbee tho like a civilized person

[sand moth]

vlc!?

[bold sedge]

~~ I use groove music~~

[humble tapir]

Ew no

Winamp is the perfect audio player. For video, I use a fork of MPC-HC.

because VLC has a stroke when you give it UHD content.

[lunar anchor]

for audio no, musicbee better

[bold sedge]

I use Apple Music

[lunar anchor]

never had this it might be my gpu tho

[humble tapir]

wtf is musicbee

[lunar anchor]

music player, its got a nice ui and it deals with flacs well

[bold sedge]

I load in my files into my iPhone

[lunar anchor]

for pc tho

[sand moth]

because VLC has a stroke when you give it UHD content.

[humble tapir]

[dreamy rose]

i use WMP since I'm forced into windows cause of my Fermi GPU. it does everything i could ask of it.

Musicbee looks like knockoff iTunes

[sand moth]

hold on let me queue up some nickelback for maximum memery

[lunar anchor]

[bold sedge]

Winamp for iPhone when

[humble tapir]

Winamp has done flacs for over 10 years iirc

[lunar anchor]

thats about all i care about, and you can skin it if you want

[bold sedge]

Booo, ogg for the win

any product that's trying to knockoff apple is immediately terrible
