Genuine question not meaning to ruffle feathers. Why is Anthony's name Emily now?

Are they trans? totally cool if they are I just never now with LTT since they do joke stuff sometimes

i went to buy something on Amazon and it said order withn 4 hours and get it by tomorrow, when i went to buy it it said it comes july 1st. i then changed the shipping address to other family memeber's which is the same house address but with a different name and they all have different ETAs what's up with that? also none of them would come tomorrow :(

Sorry lol. Is that a prime delivery time maybe?

Do you still get free delivery with prime? My amazon shopping list is automated bi-weekly so I haven't checked

Not every item has prime shipping

I just get the stuff in the mail every third week of the month or around that and about 100 euro leavces my account.

My girlfriend has the supermarket deliver our shopping every two and a half weeks

#

So much time saved and tedium eliminated

What's fresh?

#

Our supermarket just does home delivers and we have a script that just sends the same list to them at a specific date

Groceries from amazon

Ya, we don't have that. Amazon send me screw bits, nails, tissues, detergent, etc. No food except for sweets

Supermarket sends food. If I want anything different I just ask alexa to change the list

Having a list set in stone for both really saves money

Is the difference between 3 and 4 pin fans just 4 pins being more efficient ?

neon mesa

4 pin is PWM

while 3 pin is voltage only control

and indeed PWM is more energy efficient than regular DC fans

sonic spruce

it's fan speed control

#

PWM works by turning the fan on and off really quickly

sonic spruce
#

Also can 3 pin fans make its own chart for speed control like pwm for cpu and gpu temps?

wind pulsar
neon mesa
#

while regular DC change voltage to control speed

neon mesa

3 pin can do that

wind pulsar
sonic spruce

Yes or no?

neon mesa

3 pin can do it via voltage control

wispy marsh

the advantage of PWM is greater speed control compared to voltage control

wispy marsh

PWM can achieve lower RPM unlike voltage control

wind pulsar
#

Realistically yeah. Doesn't really matter if it's more energy efficient if the fan's only pulling like 5w anyway

median idol

#

no difference

neon mesa

noise is the biggest difference

PWM can run at lower RPM when temperature is low which means less noise

voltage controlled fans can't go as low as they depend on voltage, too low and the fan just stops

Definitely decent to run all modern games still. A lot of them can be maxed. GTA V 3060 should def run maxed out. VRAM is probably the only (and unfortunate) reason to make you upgrade from 3060. Also matters on which 3060 because there might be like 3.

Yeah I mean tbh it's sunk cost but in this case, specifically because of that sunk cost there's no point of upgrading. You won't upgrade without spending money on top of the msrp diff.

Actually it doesn't have to. Only quake and source games I know you can get back even after display driver crash. The graphics subsystem fully reloads. When you change display mode in source, it recreates contexts view ports whatever

#

Tbh it freezes for too quick of a time in TF2 and sht I recall. So maybe doesn't reload everything. It was supposed to

Quake you like literally press apply in system settings and it repeats loading screen for all models/textures/blah

I’d love to have an apple vision pro.

#

Lay in bed, watch YouTube & pester y’all on here

steep girder
#

Does apple vision support nearly as many games as the worst VR set?

#

Or does apple vision even have sensors/controllers/etc? Or is it just glasses

polar fern
#

It’s a Mac mini - perfectly capable of games.

steep girder
#

One thing I'd be careful about is Apple being known to collect data without choice through ultimately at least the legal way with their terms of use

polar fern
#

Never heard that one

steep girder
#

But they might not even care about security from the looks of it sometimes. So you ended up once with plaintext live usage data + geo being sent out. But anybody nearby somehow could intercept it (because it's not encrypted like it should be no excuses).

polar fern
#

You can close all the data collection stuff from the device, apps, and services.

steep girder
#

The result once I remember generally was on macbooks and there was 'telemetry' that sent app usage incl live usage you had open currently. That was one of a few things it included in metric among which was geo of some sorts.

#

But in the end, the alarm sounded when people found out everybody with that laptop or os idk was suceptible to being location tracked + they knew what you were doing at any given time.

#

That telemetry is actually one of the most important and very understandable things one could use in that position Apple was in. Nobody really has a problem with that. It's the fact that they literally didn't bother encrypting it at all and managed to fck up further I guess allowing people to intercept easily

#

But there was no way of disabling it either. Something about windows as second OS but you still had something before booting in. You're only able to install via bootcamp n sht.

#

Idk but yeah goggles you wear that film everything. Lmao imagine getting hacked. That hacker literally has first person POV on what you're doing :P

#

That and I feel like google lens and all that similar stuff isn't really you paying to use it. It's still more like you basically have little to no benefit out of using lens. It's still pretty bad and mistakes things for completely unrelated equipment. You're definitely the one sending data to improve the product until it even functions enough to have considerable use for it

Does a bullet only become a projectile after it gets 'launched' by whichever weapon?

chrome knoll
#

Linus Tech Tips Thumbs

steep girder
#

Because for most of the dangerous things, that's when it leaves muzzle. The pressure or one way or another something indicative of the muzzle energy in that same spot the projectile has is what they use to legally define what a firearm is.

#

At least in Ontario I've been told. Which makes sense because a pellet gun with enough pressure to fire same momentum pellets as like lowend loaded 9mm parabellum cartridges out of pistol...

#

I mean it might be harder to do not sure. The pellets tumble in barrel I think and it's not a perfect fit lol. Also pellet weighs less usually. But anything which launches out of a barrel some projectile with comparable forces to even .22 rim fire pistol I think is firearm already in ON, Canada.

#

Should be all of Canada.

merry gull
#

sorry

steep girder
#

Well idk pretty sure any human is the worse example in practice lmfao

merry gull
#

Not if humans are launched from trebuchets

steep girder
#

Can't magnetically accelerate it. Gunpowder idk but probably human breaks before bullet if you scale proportionally to masses

steep girder
merry gull
#

It oddly reminds me of Tom and Jerry

steep girder

But again you can't reach supersponic velocity for sure if your cannon is chambered in human waist size heh

manic torrent
#

Muzzle energy is measured in joules.

steep girder
#

Maybe not even without regard for them staying alive or even surviving until leaving cannon. They'd be crushed. Actually hwbob you're right. Terminal velocity is the real reason probably

manic torrent
steep girder
steep girder
#

But the thing in the way would be air resistance no? I think actually the final thing left entirely. So maybe human rips apart before getting to sound speed. Pretty sure human body hits terminal velocity way before that right?

manic torrent
steep girder
#

Ye exactly lol. I was just out-trolling a joke about how even humans can be projectiles. A perfect example is my mom :P

But the joke didn't fully work out because my mom is among some of the worst examples of projectile

manic torrent
steep girder
#

The best projectile is objectively gauged by eliminating as much as possible of specifically those factors like air resistance, etc

#

It is launched (has a certain amount of kinetic energy put into it) and then it ideally flies as far as possible before dropping. At the minimum it has to be able to hit its target before dropping to ground I guess

#

But the only way bullet flies farther is by losing as close as possible to 0 of its kinetic energy (slowing down). In mid air, the only thing that can do that is air resistance I think. There are probably other things but they can never have a significant effect.

manic torrent
#

There's a lot of other things and they have a very significant effect

steep girder
#

Without air resistance or any serious aerodynamic effects from the projectile shape, it should spend the same amount of time in mid air

manic torrent
#

I mean the air resistance is important, but the stability of the projectile in the air is a big part of that

#

The temperature also affects it. Also wind.

#

Humidity

steep girder
#

Or at least fall by accelerating at the same rate. But yeah I'm pretty sure bullet from pistol, rifle and any other firearm has no choice but to seriously be affected by aerodynamics. But in most cases I think it's still a negative factor entirely and you want to eliminate it. For instance, .50 BMG compared to smaller rifle rounds like 556 nato travels way less distance and slower in general pretty sure

#

So like it's harder to shoot a big enough load of gunpowder to get a bullet that heavy to even reach same speeds as smaller rifle calibers I think. But I definitely remember that the other big component to .50 cal not having as much range or speed is just its size and air resistance

manic torrent
#

Not that much slower.

steep girder
# manic torrent Humidity

Yeah but do any of them affect it in some way which isn't entirely through the same thing as air resistance in the end? Like temperature is practicaly the same thing. The air resistance depends on pressure of atmosphere or just generally whichever gas(es). The pressure changes quite a bit with temperatures even on our scales. Also altitude can make a huge difference depending on where you are

manic torrent
#

And range is about accuracy and energy delivered, so it's not quite that simple.

Also maybe the projectile itself might be made of metal that seriously expands from higher temps.

Do you like self destructing guns?

#

Because that's how you get self destructing guns.

steep girder
#

No because as soon as it self-destructs to the point where it is no longer functional, it's no longer a gun lol

manic torrent
#

Yeah ok

steep girder
#

But more often than not any manner in which a gun self-destructs immediately guarantees it lost all functionality

#

Also if there's somebody holding it and trigger wasn't pulled remotely by string from behind cover...

manic torrent
#

Yep. Use hdcp

steep girder
#

Idk you don't wanna hold a gun that explodes lmao

acoustic dove

#

hdcp should be enabled by default in amd cards no?

gilded quest
#

Bruh why in every channel

steep girder
#

And given that it's amazon and netflix n such, idk if there's a chance of needing hdcp to watch videos. Hdcp shouldn't be what's causing lag in video though lol

manic torrent
#

You are the personification of dunning kruger.

steep girder
#

Oh well no I just said it's default. But HDCP shouldn't be related I feel. I mean how can that affect quality of video on Amazon? Could be wrong but feels like I'm banking on the right guess

manic torrent
steep girder
#

Again, lmao:

The question itself is loaded because it asks 'how to turn off thing ruining video quality which is HDCP'
The answer to that question must ultimately point to where HDCP is toggled
For AMD, I know it's the AMD adrenaline in one of the pages
The quality of the video can be adjusted in player usually so I'm not sure how anything could be causing 'low quality'

manic torrent
#

You don't know what it is, but you don't think it affects anything? How could you POSSIBLY know

#

in any case, in this time you could easily have googled it and found out what it was and how it worked

#

instead you bang on about how ignorant you are, despite the knowledge available to you

steep girder
graceful burrow
#

You can't turn off hdcp
That's the point
Which you'd know if you knew what hdcp was

Holy shit

graceful burrow
#

Holy shit he might be talking about hdr keksplosion

steep girder
#

Well lol I'm not even sure if I have it. On my AMD settings page, I can toggle it off just like every other same toggle usually means 'off' as opposed to 'enabled' or 'on'. When I try to move the toggle button to 'off' looking position it says something like "Turning HDCP off might prevent you from viewing certain things with DRM"

#

Or maybe it said "certain content with DRM requires this". Either way, they're saying it can be absent somehow lmfao

#

I think netflix I have the windows app. It doesn't break. Again, idk even if I have support for it but Netflix works in the app. They have enough DRM already. Which btw I think I mentioned before: the protected or secured memory zone whatever it's called is used for blacking out DRM content from recording or streaming your display

#

This I heard legit from actual person who let's say is aware of things happening inside AMD especially current drivers (another thing I learned is that it's hell and Microsoft or others play a big role in it). But that thing where you can start recording before it gets zoned (literally just launch Netflix app or whatever after hitting record)...

manic torrent

wow dude

Supposedly issue that they're still not sure how to get around. If they will use that specific approach

Nah I meant HDCP (which true I have no clue about). HDR I know way more about but in terms of displays supporting HDR, my only experience with it was Netflix gradually getting darker to the point where video is visibly like 8 depth per color. Not bits. I mean actual color depth.

It's basically ewaste so it's super cheap :)

Is a depth of 8 values

graceful burrow

#

as I always say, bottlenecks are a myth perpetrated by idiots

steep girder

I meant depth of 8 per color just like 256 colors except per channel not 256 total

#

256 colors is bit depth of 8 I know that lol

manic torrent
#

what coincidence today is a day

wispy marsh

#

Early low color depths though weren't RGB with depth per channel being all possible same values. Like 256 colors was often a color table in image format.

wispy marsh

#

lies.

steep girder

Ultimately though I guess if you have 256 color display, you ought to make color table have exactly every same color as display lmfao.

crude jasper
#

rhett doesn't look like linus

If you have 65536 colors because 16bit depth then 256 color table could be used properly. Saves space because of like gif size. Can be different color on screen though

I'm going to let you in on a secret dimmskii

out of 16 million colours - 9 million of them are B R O W N

some of them certainly

So given two different browns, which one can you see has less red and which one has more

indigo plume

So I hear starfield wont have dlss

since amd is exclusive partner to starfeild

starfield.scr as in?

ssstars3d screensaver or whatever file was called?

wispy marsh

#

amd is the Pc versions exclusive partner so why would they support dlss

steep girder
#

What.

wispy marsh
#

Well, CP2077 included DLSS, FSR and XESS

manic torrent
wispy marsh
#

The latest versions, too.

indigo plume
#

was cyberpunk a exculsive partner with amd

wispy marsh
#

Path tracing in 2077 looks absolutely beautiful but it runs at .1fps on 6800XT

steep girder
#

Nobody has to support dlss except Amd. It is upscaler. It literally just upscales lower res image to bigger display mode

wispy marsh
#

I witnessed anywhere from .5 to 2fps

steep girder
#

The only thing they definitely require from anybody else is monitor to support higher resolution lol. And cable because let's face it: it's between HDMI and DP these days and DP is supposed to be the only one left in the arena eventually

indigo plume
#

cyberpunk at this point is just a expensive benchmark

steep girder
#

Unless idk what they'll do for "TV's" and videos, movies etc. Watching kinds of displays I guess lol

wispy marsh
steep girder
#

Are they legit gonna also switch everything tv-wise to DP as well?

wispy marsh
#

I don't believe I've seen audio return channel on DP yet

manic torrent
steep girder
#

I mean it's cool because it uses AIIIIIII to upscale

wispy marsh
#

I stand behind that statement

indigo plume
#

so is fsr 3.0 just a myth

steep girder
#

If you want to upscale anything (so basically guess or approximate the information which isn't there), AI probably best thing.

indigo plume

cuz I swear when I got this card a few months ago

Integer scaling is my fav to this day

Like if I full screen sega genesis sim, you can bet it's int upscale. I prefer to have display window multiple of the ntsc or pal whichever it shows though

indigo plume
#

was getting 90+ temps on hot spot

wispy marsh
#

Ah, overheating. My card has that too

#

When I repasted, my hotspot went from 115 to 115, but faster

indigo plume
#

had 7900xt

steep girder
#

Because integer upscaling works best if you have multiples of eachother resolutions

indigo plume
#

I aint repasting that would void my warentty

#

so I just sent back to have them look at it

wispy marsh
#

If you have alcohol and the intact white sticker, it's fine

indigo plume
#

the sticker im pretty sure is on one of the screws to get cooler off

steep girder
#

Wait repaste voids warranty how?

long briar
#

that depends on your location

wispy marsh
#

You can even buy the stickers online dogekek

steep girder
#

I mean theres the risk of breaking or bending pins or socket damage but that's never even covered by warramty

wispy marsh
#

Damaged the sticker? Here's a thousand more.

steep girder
indigo plume
#

dont most gpus have coolers pre mounted lol

wispy marsh
#

The sticker is on a screw that holds down the retention plate

#

Means dimm's never repasted a gpu before

steep girder
#

Idk if it's a sticker with warranty void if removed on it, then see if you can get away with unscrewing and then putting sticker back so that it's unnoticeable

indigo plume
#

too much of a risk

wispy marsh
indigo plume
#

rather just send it out

steep girder
#

Like try a corner a bit maybe and see if it peels off broken or leaves behind residue in the shape of VOID tiled

indigo plume
#

plus Id prob end up damaging it when trying to take it apart

steep girder
#

I mean you can

indigo plume
#

Im not very good with tech stuff

steep girder
#

Tbh if warranty is voided from reseating cooler, then maybe the paste/cooling is covered under their warranty

indigo plume
#

last time I tried doing somthing with cpu I bent one of the pins

steep girder
#

I mean lol would make sense. Ask them if warranty covers repaste of sink. Because that's actually pretty nice. They are the ones responsible for taking cpu out of socket, putting back in and mounting it with right pressure

indigo plume
#

I didnt even put pc together

steep girder
#

So even if socket or pins aren't covered by warranties, they will be responsible if it breaks in their hands lmfao

indigo plume
#

I just paid someone to do it for me

steep girder
#

So check if it's still covered under that warranty tbh

indigo plume
#

its not prebuilt

#

I bought the parts

#

I just paid the pc store to put it together

steep girder
#

Ok so did sink come mounted on socket or

#

Ohhhh....
Ok so yeah that's the store warranty only. See if they will repaste for you first

indigo plume
#

bruh ive never seen a gpu notr come with cooler already on

steep girder
#

Because either way, that's the only option you have to not lose store warranty. If it's still covering your pc

indigo plume
#

Im just sending it back to manufuer so I dont void warranty

#

Im not talking about store warranty

steep girder
#

No but the manufacturer of what? The cpu? Mobo? Cooler? None of these care about that warranty sticker. You don't void anything usually just by unmounting cooler

indigo plume
#

talking about manufature warranty

steep girder
#

That sticker was put on by the guys who you took it to build pc

indigo plume
#

the gpu has a sticker on the screw to take off the cooler

steep girder
indigo plume
#

so to unscrew cooler it would take off void sticker

steep girder
#

And again it was definitely guys who built it. But their warranty if you think still has a chance of being there, you can ask them to repaste for you

indigo plume
#

I dont get whay u dont understand

#

wdym the guys who built it the pc store didnt build the gpu

steep girder
indigo plume
#

mate all the pc store did was install the gpu they didnt do anything special to the gpu

#

ur making this harder than it has to be

steep girder
#

Tbh makes sense because if you open something they put together, you can now be responsible for same exact damages they would do in the process of assembling your parts

#

Like they mounted your sink onto the socket. So if you unmount it, you're undoing literally service which you paid them to do.

indigo plume
#

what are u talking about all they did was basicly plug gpu in

steep girder
#

But again, if you're not sure about this stuff, I'd check first if that same warranty of theirs covers repaste. I mean you literally have nothing to lose

indigo plume
#

they did nothing special with gpu

#

it aint a cpu where installing seperate cooler and shit

steep girder
#

And there's certain tensions, they have to be equal, can't over or under tighten, etc.

indigo plume
#

ur over thinking this

steep girder
#

Well I mean really? I think I have simplest answer. Take it to that store which built for you. You can't lose that warranty if you still have it; all other options (involving you or someone else opening it) will void your warranty

#

If they agree to do whole repaste for you under warranty for free, you literally have no thinking or worrying to do

indigo plume
#

the store dont share warntty with manufature

steep girder
#

Because the worst things that happen when you're mounting or unmounting the heatsink is the CPU and socket. Not the sink itself and the mobo its brackets are attached to

#

Again, you could break cpu if you tighten too hard. If you're tightening one way more than the rest are, etc

indigo plume
#

cpu ???

#

im talking about gpu

steep girder
#

Wait gpu sink has warranty sticker on it?

thin fjord
#

most do methinks

steep girder
#

Yeah that's for sure. It's a manufacturer warranty. So RMA maybe to whichever AIB card it is

#

I mean I heard people repaste their gpu, take case off, etc. But maybe you already voided warranty just by removing shroud lol

#

Then again I don't recall seeing stickers on outside. Tbh I never really open gpu myself. Always rma or use until it died

indigo plume
#

I havvent removed anything

steep girder
#

Ok well what you're saying is it's actually gpu that has warranty void sticker on it

indigo plume
#

every gpu shoukld

steep girder
#

Yeah and also why are you trying to open it in the first place lol

indigo plume
#

after u take off backplate

#

to repaste have u not been following along

steep girder
#

Yeah but I thought it was cpu. Why are you repasting gpu yourself? What makes you think that it needs repaste?

indigo plume
#

becausing of heating issues

steep girder
#

Oh well idk. If it heats way past what most peoples' do running the same exact things and settings?

uneven flame
#

Can someone summarize the situation its 3 am for me rn

#

And my eyes are blurred

steep girder

Have you even read online what other people are getting in terms of temps and perf? Also

indigo plume
#

I contacted manufature and they said it running hotter than it shouold

uneven flame
#

indigo plume

uneven flame
#

Im excited, im aboutta buy a 16 gb ram kit for my laptop

#

32 gb 😁

steep girder
#

Oh lol ok. Is it approved? If you're waiting for shipping label to come or something, definitely don't void warranty

uneven flame
#

Costs pretty big but im gonna vuy the ram kit 16x2 then bring it to best buy foe them to put it together

steep girder
#

Because if you do, they won't send replacement. If you don't open anything, they'll send like shipping tags free probably, you ups it or something to them and wait for replacement card

uneven flame
#

Wth is goingnon

steep girder
#

Literally nothing else is a good option if they approve RMA. You don't even know if thermals will get better from repasting it

pliant karma
steep girder
#

There are other things like contact pads, etc. Could be just chip itself honestly. Like temps should go up if you raise the maximum power setting in whichever driver software

steep girder
#

If you raised power/voltage/clock/memory clock beyond stock, it should run hotter. Then again, I never really notice anything because it's already hot asfk when running under serious load

pliant karma
steep girder
#

But if the thermals are actually worse than they should be and they approve replacement free, definitely would take

#

Because thermals affect perf in general. If it's unusually hot, it has unusually worse perf at the maximum I guess.

#

Also unusually hot could mean some other issue. Even if it's mounting or paste, you always wanna replace unless it's no longer an option. My recommendation.

hi guys need some advice here, need a new gpu for blender
i am thinking of 4060ti or 3060ti, i dont game and clearly according to blender benchmark, 4060ti is clearly a win here, also less power consumption i dont need to change my psu
but the comment toward 4060ti is really bad in the community especially on the 128bit memory.

so my question here is, if i do get 4060ti, does this 128 bit memory will have great impact on performance of any aspect?

the price diffrent in my country between the 2 is only <50usd

Alr when i get my upgrades ill make a post and share this moment, this is kinda like my first time doing an actual upgrade so im just a lil nervous thats all

Well I mean if somebody doesn't have any idea as to what they're doing, idk if RAM upgrade is that simple

uneven flame
#

😞

steep girder
#

Damages aside, worst case scenarios still exist like you bought wrong ram kit. Hopefully you can still return and get your money back lol. If you research it, should be able to get the right compatible kits though

uneven flame
#

Could i perhaps show you the laptop and the ram kit im buying

steep girder
#

Then you gotta take out old ram, install new, yeah I guess in the end it's not that complicated if you follow mobo instruction manual. If you still have that, it will show you how to do that probably

#

Then just battery, reset cmos, reseat battery and you're good. If you skip that step, hopefully bios will reset on its own after a couple failed posts

#

Tbh maybe that's worth trying first before resorting to cmos clear. The bios might reset just the ram settings it could be...

uneven flame
#

I have so many questions

steep girder
#

Clearing cmos every setting is gone along with memory timings n sht.

#

and without the cmos battery if it is dead or removed the laptop/desktop won't boot 🙂 I learned that as a kid lol

uneven flame
#

Ok, so lemme see

I follow a yt channel that says how to install le ram right

Installing it, ( ofc making sure its compatible ) then when opening my laptop it will tell me to hit f1 or 2 to update the system to its new capacity of 32 gb ram, am i getting this or na

#

Then whats next? Something you mentioned about the battery? What of it?

#

Im sorry if im sounding completely clueless

steep girder
#

So battery's dead but whenever it lost power and I get the warning that it's been reset, I can just go into bios and load it still :P

#

Idk why there doesn't seem to be an option for automatically loading settings at least when it notices reset. Unless 'last known good' is the same thing but autosaved on successful post after config change

#

Either way, time is lost unless you save it to bios regularly. I don't think you're supposed to write to bios that often though

steep girder
#

I think it should be just one or two boots max but then one way or another it boots eventually. Just that you'd have to repeat the process each time you turn off power or unplug it from wall lmao

steep girder
#

Idk but even if I deprive myself of sleep and go to bed at a different time than usual on purpose, I'd often still wake up too soon w not enough sleep. Then later on, at the usual time I'd been falling asleep, I get drowsy regardless of whether or not I managed to keep myself in bed long enough

#

I could just still end up feeling tired on enough sleep, go to bed, and wake up with headache because I overslept or something lol

#

Either way though I feel like you're just fighting to stay awake past the time your body got used to sleeping. So you're changing the schedule idk

#

That and also sleeping with daylight has a disgusting feeling to it. If I slept through noon, I feel crappier when I wake up. Maybe because we're not nocturnal lmfao

#

But apparently we can also fall into triurnal regime nicely. When people are in some place like deep cave and lose sense of daylight, there's some trend of going into one and a half day cycles naturally

#

On the surface though, at least for me, it would mean one crappy day and one good one because it alternates between waking up at day and night.

It sounds like you should see a sleep specialist that doesn't rely on niche cave theories my friend. You could have a thyroid issue disrupting a lot of other systems, if youre drinking alcohol within hours of bed thats a problem, both anxiety and depression mess with sleep patterns, and a bunch of neurotransmitter deficiencies or abundances can cause it too. fun thing since getting to the bottom of it takes forever, but I hope you get some help and can rest soundly.

# full fossil then why even root it?

With root you can do much more than just clock speed control... Custom themes, using iptables firewall, magisk modules to change stuff in /system without ever writing to /system, etc. For starters I love iOS emoji font so I use a magisk module for it. I love pitch black on my OLED devices so I use Substratum to ensure pitch black theme system-wide. I use AFWall+ to block internet access from apps that don't need it (and use it to just show annoying ads)

#

DarQ with LSposed (xposed) can make most light-mode-only apps forced to use a standard dark mode, so amazon android app is in dark mode now. Much easier on the eyes, saves a lot of battery and most importantly - You have control

#

All of this should ideally be pre-built and possible to do without root but tech companies thinking they know everything and taking control away from end users piece by piece is the most infuriating and annoying thing ever...

#

Take Pixel 7 Pro for example. Amazing phone but the stupid thing doesn't adaptive-charge unless you have a fixed sleep schedule. Charges to 100% and doesn't listen. No way to control it. Except Root + ACC Module + AccA / ACCSettings. I can set it to cycle between 48% to 52% and automatically go into idle mode (plugged in, not charging) to maximize battery life if I'm at home and not going anywhere. I can set it to just 80% when I'm going outside. Or change it to 100% when I'm going on a trip. And I can control exactly how fast it charges by controlling charging current. Can limit it to 2250 mA for 8w charging, or remove all limits for full 20w charging.

I know this is complicated and most people don't care but for the whatever 5% people, what you think is best being default and giving users full control will never be a problem... Just like ADB, give them some warning "you're going into advanced mode, make sure you know what you're doing" and that's it

I'm thinking of going with the ugreen 145w power bank. The only thing that annoys me is that it doesn't have PPS so I won't be able to charge my S21 with super fast charging. The anker 737 seems like an appealing alternative although if you own one I would like to ask if it's pockatable?

Like will it fit in cargo pockets?

it's like that for most items really

the biggest idiotic move ever was the ban everyone reputable but anker

#

since anker is the biggest review offender

amazon banned uh

#

ravpower, aukey, mpow, poweradd, a bunch more

Oh so amazon is using Anker as an OEM?

so in their place are a bunch of new chinese companies

and anker product quality is good, but it was identical to the brands i mentioned

... and they literally have an army of people to post their stuff

(they wanted to work with me when I was active on slickdeals - head of their marketing dept is a mean person named rosa lol)

#

i dont post deals unless it's a deal

#

she didnt get that.... or care

#

whereas poweradd would send me a sample first, tell me to inspect it, and paid one of my friends to translate their user manual

#

before posting any deals

oh no, ankers products are quality. theyre just 2x the price for the identical cells ravpower and poweradd use

#

thats my problem - right now consumers have only: overpriced, or dangerous

amazon got rid of the middle ground

Sounds like a monopolisation problem

anker just got up displays. and that tech existed before the ban is my point

the ban is what im mad about since it was for "manipulating reviews"

And fuck, the only reason Ugreen is so big is because anker shit itself with eufy

Ugreen didn't need anker to fail

they're the compant behind ravpower and a few hugeanker competitors

I never got contacted by ugreen....thats odd actually

#

I still get emails randomly from companies despite not posting on slickdeals since 2015 lol. I got a bunch when I ran nerdspeaks tech deals channel though, my fake facebook attracted 5000 old people somehow

#

and I have to have a twitter b.c amazons rules

#

(or make a website, but twitter is easier) - they dont allow direct link from discord since they get no cookies

#

I wonder if ltt would be interested in sampling all the dangerous brands on amazon rn... that's a good idea if he cares enough to do it

#

but seeing a "50,000mAh solar power bank" for 19 dollars is gonna be fake

#

I have a server member with extensive battery testing equipment he could loan/give/sell/whatever too

not big enough for the capacity at the time

whole situation just concerns me since i bought one of the cheap ones on a price mistake, and its currently sitting out in the middle of nowhere since it's expanded by over an inch
