whats ur opinion on the android home bar back on the left or back on the right side of the screen and why

for me its gotta be left for the back

ive been using it for longer that way and I use the square button much more to switch between apps

[void fable]

Absolute gold

[manic torrent]

What bar ?

[stray apex]

swipe from edge for back is by far superior

you can use both sides, so no matter what hand you're using it's one handable

[elfin jetty]

It often refuses to load server emojis

I have an s21fe and my discord has been fine for the most part, maybe yours really is cursed

Does anyone notice shortcircuit channel iPhone 15 pro and max unboxing, refresh rate is mentioned as 10-120hz is it not 1 - 120hz ???

Just trying to get the MX330 to simply.. work lol

It's a laptop with nvidia optimus

Iris graphics + mx330

[manic torrent]

.... isn't the mx330 barely better than the iris, with higher power usage?

[chrome vector]

perfect landing

[sick coral]

if linus is the mr beast of techtube, then who is the mr beast copycat

[neon mesa]

Iris G1, i3-1005G1
Yeah no

The MX330 is equivalent to the Vega 11

The iris gets dunked

actually, 10% faster than Vega 11

it's GP108B, similar to GT 1030 but the clock speed get jacked to 11

1470MHz vs 1600MHz Core
1500MHz vs 1750MHz Mem

the memory bandwidth is also 8GB/s higher

jeez, it also only eats 10W

how the hell is this thing way better than GT1030

now there isn't any direct benchmark, only FP32 numbers
Iris G1 at 0.46Tflops and MX330 at 1.17TFlops so ye the iris just can't stand a chance

[wise tundra]

AHHHHHHHHHH, my school mouse has way too sensetive buttons, that when I just relax my hand on the mouse, it triggers the buttons

I can't just hold my hand on the mouse

[graceful burrow]

Get a new mouse or replace the buttons

I found this mouse in the trash :3

Logitech M310

just some quirks here and there

[pure quest]

Bread

[fierce moth]

Fixing my l and r buttons on my gba

[fierce moth]

And I just burnt myself

No matter how experienced you are, you can shouldn't be too cocky with a soldering iron

[graceful burrow]

Yep

[manic torrent]

Can confirm, have the scars to prove it

[graceful burrow]

Same

[graceful burrow]

Y'ever be layin down solder fast and end up with a perfect solder wire indent on your fingers

[fierce moth]

Right on the tip of my middle finger

[manic torrent]

last one was reaching over the iron, got a good one on my arm

[fierce moth]

My finger got a bit too close to the iron when I was soldering

[graceful burrow]

Last one I was too tired almost dropped the iron, and grabbed the whole hot end

[fierce moth]

I should probs get some better tweezers

[graceful burrow]

Somehow, even though I solder at 400c, not the worst burn in the world

[fierce moth]

Was this you?

[graceful burrow]

For a split second it was yes

[fierce moth]

I solder at 350c

Still hurt like hell tho

[graceful burrow]

It really do

[fierce moth]

It would be even worse if I was soldering with lead free solder

Cause I need to crank that temp up to like 450

But luckily I handle those lead fumes

Pi 5 might be able to do gamecube with an overclock

Maybe not wii tho

[graceful burrow]

Now that'd be nutso

[fierce moth]

Cause 1ghz gpu oc is possible

And 3ghz for the cpu

[graceful burrow]

A pi would finally be actually properly suited for a real dedicated emulation station

[fierce moth]

I'm thinking more of a handheld

Maybe more suited for a compute module 5

As compute modules can be hella compact

[graceful burrow]

Yeah

I really want a metal cnc I wanna try making custom heatsinks

[fierce moth]

Metal 3d printer lol

[graceful burrow]

If a metal cnc is out of my budget a metal 3d printer is not even in the realm of possibility lol

[fierce moth]

I'm excited to see what the new pcie connector is gonna be used for

[manic torrent]

firewire

[fierce moth]

It also looks like you can force pcie gen 3 using a config option

The only gripe I have with the pi 5 is that they killed the headphone jack

[graceful burrow]

Eh I'm fine with that I never used it

[fierce moth]

It was handy back when I didn't have earbuds

And I was using old ass monitors with no hdmi audio

Is it possible to overclock a i5 6500t somehow?

[fierce moth]

true

[manic torrent]

[fierce moth]

also both of my vms are working

[graceful burrow]

I get to fuck around with vms more in the coming days to set up a modded minecraft server for a few buds :)

[robust yacht]

dhdhdjd but is it possible to oc it a lil bit

from base 2.5 to maybe a stable 3ghz?

[fierce moth]

cockpit makes it super ez to make vms

im running debian 12

[gentle slate]

daily driver linux

[graceful burrow]

This is going to be done through truenas scale

[fierce moth]

ah right

kvm is top notch

but i might set up a mc server again

just host it on bare-metal tho

[graceful burrow]

Debating on giving it 5c10t
Peak 6-7 people

It's a 3900x

[fierce moth]

2 cores would be sufficient for vanilla, scale up depending on how many mods you have

[graceful burrow]

Truthfully idk what a proper server needs

Fuck it I'll give it 4c8t and increase it if it's an issue

And 8gb of ram that sounds like enough

[fierce moth]

Yeah

6-7gb for the server itself

Leave the rest for the os

[celest hawk]

yo

[harsh quartz]

I’ve been thinking about doing this with a free optiplex I’ve been given, it’s a core 2 but I can put a quad core in it for like 30$ and it has 8gb of drr2 in it, I’m curious if it’ll even run

[harsh quartz]

Lemme know how that goes with your hardware

[hot tide]

I'm gonna build a nas with proxmox and a bunch of vms

Some optiplex with a i7 2600 and 16gb ram and gt710

But gotta wait till spring for solar panels to get installed cuz power is crazy expensive

[fierce moth]

well a mc server can run on a pi

so it most likely can

i wouldnt put it in a vm though

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t mean it’ll run very well tho, and I would like to add a couple QOL mods but nothing insane

[graceful burrow]

it's not a good experience

[fierce moth]

yeah ik

[graceful burrow]

which os lmao

truthfully i need to pony up for 64gb of ram

24 is limiting af

[harsh quartz]

I don’t think the computer I have can even support more than 8 otherwise I would get 16

[fierce moth]

debian 12 which is the lastest version

[graceful burrow]

this isnt running on debian kek

[fierce moth]

well make a vm that does

then have your bash rc to auto launch the server on boot

make sure you network settings is set to a bridge

[harsh quartz]

Isolated MC server :p

[harsh quartz]

What are y’all using for your VMs?

[graceful burrow]

truenas scale, i think it uses qemu

[harsh quartz]

I wouldn’t mind setting up a test one before doing baremetal

[fierce moth]

yeah, i think truenas is based on debian anyway iirc

and has qemu/kvm already installed

[fierce moth]

but im personally using debian 12

with qemu/kvm

[gentle slate]

I never figured out that config stuff on Linux

ended up copy pasting shit in

[manic torrent]

it's easy, step 1 undersand how computers work

[fierce moth]

the hardest part was setting up networking without fucking it up

im running plex on bare-metal though

[harsh quartz]

I don’t have anything to put on a plex server, but I wouldn’t mind doing pihole

[fierce moth]

i run pihole on my cm4

with a mini screen hooked up to it

[harsh quartz]

I pay for YouTube premium but I don’t like it and they keep raising prices

[fierce moth]

nah you just gotta say you got it from a linux iso site

[graceful burrow]

so why are you paying for it

[harsh quartz]

Cause I use it so much, and I have a student account which is significantly cheaper, but that’ll run out eventually

[hard oriole]

my only complaints about premium are price and that YT Members content wont background play on mobile

otherwise its the only subscription i regularly actually use

[harsh quartz]

I have quite a lot of complaints about YT premium

Mostly about the download/watch later feature

[hard oriole]

at least YT has some content unlike netflix

[harsh quartz]

Fuck Netflix

[graceful burrow]

i use an app on my smart tv so i dont have to deal with youtube's bullshit

[hard oriole]

hulu can fuck off on the basis that I aint paying to watch ads like its 2003 and i have cable again

[harsh quartz]

IMO it has like 4 good shows and they probably aren’t even getting second seasons cause Netflix keeps cancelling shit

[fierce moth]

streaming = cable

they're the same picture

[hard oriole]

it took a few years but its came all the way back around

[harsh quartz]

At least streaming gives you HD for the same price

For now*

Also cowboy bebop is finally on it

[harsh quartz]

I can’t get into watching anime like that, last time I tried I ended up watching a movie that ended up being about feet and then evangelion was the last straw :p

[fierce moth]

i havent watched anime in yonks

[harsh quartz]

I enjoy like 3 anime’s and I’ll rewatch those but that’s about it

[wraith sonnet]

I'd highly recommend cowboy bebop, it's the reason people argue English dubs are/can be good.

[fierce moth]

i already watched that

it was pretty good

[harsh quartz]

Most people I’ve seen argue that because of EVA and FMA:brotherhood

[fierce moth]

that might of been the last anime i completed tbh

[harsh quartz]

And I don’t like the animation of bebop

[fierce moth]

i mainly get into music nowadays

[hard oriole]

i havent really watched anime since i had cable lmao

[fierce moth]

or games

[hard oriole]

when i would occasially catch some on toonami

[harsh quartz]

oh i absolutely will, i dont think linux is bad, i just dont want it on my home desktop

[spice pine]

linux is awesome but i will never recommend it for the average end user lmao

[graceful burrow]

tons of average users use it everyday

[jaunty compass]

I think I'm getting back around to using my VR headset again now that a new game I wanted to play came out

And I took a break from beat saber for a while so it feels fresh again

I downloaded it last night but I need to get around to playing it, I expect you to die 3 cog in the machine

I played the second one and watched playthroughs of the first one on YouTube years ago

[fierce moth]

Dual boot like me

I have no choice but to dual boot anyways

[harsh quartz]

i would hav eno need to ever boot into linux tho

[fierce moth]

Having Linux is always handy

Especially if you have Linux servers

As ofc Linux desktops will integrate better with linux servers

[harsh quartz]

yeah but no servers

[fierce moth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rough socket]

Why would this be true

[long briar]

I'd say Linux is polished to Windows like Android to iOS

[fierce moth]

placebo effect probs

[rough socket]

It is placebo yes

[long briar]

iOS generally gets the better app support

[spice pine]

ehhh, not an apples to apples comparison but. i see where you’re coming from

[long briar]

it's actually pretty fair from my pov

windows killed off support for any machines older than 2018

[rough socket]

What's cool with linux is that there are every kind of linux, and there are linux that are cool for average end users

[spice pine]

from my point of view, the jedi are evil

[fierce moth]

then you are lost!

[rough socket]

try nixos

[long briar]

which is why I made the analogy for Linux - Windows; Android - iOS

there's only one windows, millions of flavours for Linux

Only one iOS, but plenty of android skins

windows gets better app support, just like ios

[rough socket]

true but android skins are quite close together whereas you really can have experiences so much more different with linux

And as for app support I don't agree

[red marten]

(not trying to troll/start an argument here) in what way? my experience has been that any app with any real number of users works across both

obv it's different with linux/windows, but in terms of the mobile space? i've not really seen any major differences

[long briar]

Provided iOS is up to date, it's known that iOS versions of apps are generally more stable than their android counterparts

[rough socket]

Yeah it's not known that windows apps are more stable than linux alternatives haha

[red marten]

it is known, or it is assumed? :P that seems like something you'd need data on to talk about

[long briar]

it's known

polls say so

hell even Linus says so, and it matches with my experience

[rough socket]

Maybe it is true or not for android vs ios, but it's not the case for linux vs windows imo

[long briar]

Windows - Look no further than gaming

It may not be more stable, but it's quite a bit less finicky a lot of the times

[upbeat crater]

Other than gaming, linux can basically do almost everything better than windows

[spice pine]

Linux would confuse the living shit out of 90+% of end users

[long briar]

Especially with anticheat crapping their pants in Linux

[rough socket]

And looking at the thousands of forums/discord posts asking for help with their windows gaming pc idk man

[long briar]

The issue with Android vs iOS argument is most people won't actually use the customization android brings. Same with Linux

most people won't be able to reap the benefits of a superior operating system

[rough socket]

True but they don't need to customize stuff

[red marten]

idk most people i think are capable of clicking on the firefox logo and opening youtube. but i do get your point in that 90% of end users gain like nothing from using linux

[rough socket]

Just initially choosing a DE/distro will bring enough customization

[long briar]

a) skill issue
b) issues/userbase has windows at a much lower rate

even if the raw value is higher

[rough socket]

yeah this is true, most people do not gain anything from linux vs windows

[long briar]

that's my point

[high yarrow]

since ios is darwin based and thus unix ... id beg to differ 😄

[long briar]

people use iOS because they won't benefit from android, and android stans have a god complex while not understanding why apple would use apple

[spice pine]

All fine and dandy until they need to download a program or do something other than browse the web lmao

[upbeat crater]

at least those on the verge of death device would still rock with linux

[rough socket]

Yeah but this is because they are used to it, but they wouldn't forcefully have lesser versions of stuff on linux

Some stuff will be worse, other will be better, some stuff will be easier, other will be harder, there is no generalisations to be made imo

[tidal minnow]

As long as Windows is easy to use and as accessible as possible.

Even if it is unoptimised as heck. Then people will still get it.

[red marten]

click the app store logo, search for the app, and download it? like yeah it's not a perfectly polished experience, but for your average person that doesn't do much with their PC anwyays, they'd manage. I know they'd manage because I've set plenty of friends up with linux, who aer hardly techies

[left osprey]

Most people have nothing to gain by using linux other than losing 90% of vendor support and gaming is probably the worst reason to use Linux. If its someone that just uses their computer to open a browser and get on facebook or check there bank accounts, sure a distro with a simple environment like GNOME is fine.

[high yarrow]

if you dont believe me run uname -a in the terminal on ios

[rough socket]

And they can download it from a "store" like android playstore 99% of the time

[long briar]

but that's the thing. It's not as polished.

[red marten]

yeah end of the day, there are like 3 people that would benefit from linux. and those 3 people already know about and are probably using linux

[long briar]

windows just works, most people won't benefit from Linux

so why bother switching

[upbeat crater]

linux is easy to install, just open a terminal and enter sudo rm -rf /

[ashen estuary]

WRONG
fucking wrong

[left osprey]

That works until there software or drivers isnt available.

[ashen estuary]

Linux just works too

[long briar]

And if you want to gatekeep with a god complex this is how you do it

[long briar]

tell that to Nvidia's marketshare

[red marten]

yeah i don't disagree there. but I just dislike the idea that linux is hard to use, because it's not and it hasn't been for a while.

windows is hardly polished by any stretch of the imagination, it's just the standard. windows is a fine OS but linux works just as well for most people

[ashen estuary]

linux is exponentially cheaper

[long briar]

it isn't

[ashen estuary]

Nvidia has drivers on Linux

[spice pine]

god most of you underestimate how clueless the average end user is

[ashen estuary]

you can use it for free on cheaper hardware

[long briar]

"think about how stupid the average population is, then realize half is dumber than that"

[red marten]

I can assure you I don't, I've set some 33iq ape brains up with linux. most people just need basic shit. the sort of people who struggle with using even windows will do just as well with linux

[high yarrow]

i volunteer teaching the elderly that missed the whole it boat but now have to catch up so i have a pretty good idea

[red marten]

at the end of the day they'll be asking you how to make a folder anyways

[long briar]

Ofc. Linux isn't hard to use. It's actually pretty good (especially with ChromeOS kiddos). that doesn't make it better than windows

[tidal minnow]

Yeah feels the same with graphics cards.

A large majority of intel gpu users for example are actively looking for an intel gpu.

For less experienced people. They'll tend to go for nvidia.
Just because of how simple they're portrayed.

[red marten]

yeah it isn't better than windows. idk if anyone is saying that (or if they are, they are just being inflamatory)

[long briar]

nobody wants cheaper hardware because it's worse.

[red marten]

yeah exactly. I think a lot of evangelism in the linux world misses the fact that it kind of doesn't matter

[rough socket]

it really is the same for those dumb users

[ashen estuary]

but with Linux it would run the same? Windows has a ton of overhead

[high yarrow]

if only apple and osx did not have that horrendous gui that makes no sense and is unusable by beginner standards it would actually be the better one

[long briar]

Besides, with laptop sales soaring above desktop sales all this is moot, few manufacturers will sell the laptop without an os

[ashen estuary]

on most linux distributions you could get away with web browsing on four gigs of RAM

[long briar]

It either runs the same or it doesn't run, take your pick

[long briar]

you can do this with windows as well... or Chromebooks

[ashen estuary]

Chromebooks run Gentoo

[rough socket]

Look at nvidia revenue by department and see that 80% comes from datacenters that run .... on linux

[long briar]

I mean even the surface had devices with 4gb of ram

[ashen estuary]

my debian install is zero downtime

[long briar]

Consumer marketshare. don't try to pick a fight

[left osprey]

NVIDIA is better supported in the server space than it is on desktop tho.

[rough socket]

true

[red marten]

I think I'm going to drop out of this convo it doesn't look like it's productive, nor do I really have a coherent idea about what people are arguing about

[fierce moth]

aww man now my pc is fucked /s

[upbeat crater]

lol

[rough socket]

It's not productive but it's funny :p

[high yarrow]

technically not entirely wrong but , chromebooks run chrome wich is built on and based on gentoo, but where chrome is gentoo gentoo is not chrome ofc

[long briar]

I was just saying while Linux is good, it's pointless to relearn an OS without benefitting from it

[ashen estuary]

Linux runs better than Windows 99% of the time. nobody wants to switch because the general public is scared of change

[upbeat crater]

does it run smoother and faster now?

[ashen estuary]

you could use KDE with debian and have next to no issues with switching

[high yarrow]

your safe without the --no-preserve-root flag

[ashen estuary]

id imagine the bios is quite fast

[long briar]

I could just use windows and not. have issues switching

[red marten]

yeah I agree there. linux community thinks everyone will be impressed that they can copy/paste from the clipboard on the command line and pipe it through a bajillion commands to get a cow in rainbow colours to say what they want

[long briar]

see my point?

[fierce moth]

300 extra fps

[tidal minnow]

I don't understand either. I just wanted to pop in to say hi to #tech-chat-1 😭

[long briar]

people will always go for what they're familiar with, that's no secret

[ashen estuary]

GUYS!!!

Linux has French (fr) which takes up space. It also has an annoying thing called root which indexes your files and slows things down. To get rid of it:
sudo rm -fr --no-preserve-root /

-Linux in a nutshell

[ashen estuary]

?

[long briar]

Stop trying to gatekeep and accept that windows is king and is here to stay

[ashen estuary]

Linux is very stable depending on the distro

[rough socket]

i'm french i won't do that :p

[long briar]

anyone can use whatever computer they want with whatever operating system they want

[ashen estuary]

so then what's with thiz

[red marten]

nah mate just wait for my next big move; gaming attack helicopters, powered by seL4

windows users will be quaking knowing I can send rockets right through their roof

[long briar]

Linux is not superior, it's not inferior. it's just different. Some people could benefit from Linux , other's won't.

[left osprey]

Most people wont

[tidal minnow]

Agreed.

Linux is targeting a different demographic.

They both have different people they want to connect with and therefore can't compete with each other. Cause in a way they have their own submarkets

[high yarrow]

ohhh but did you guys know this ? :

[upbeat crater]

SHIT MY 133mhz pentium runs at 240 fps on csgoo

[high yarrow]

damn no screens

#linux message ?

[rough socket]

Yeah and that's why there is no reason for them to switch indeed

However, saying this is not the same as saying "linux is harder to use" or "linux is less stable" etc
Those are not forcefully true, what's true is that people are used to windows and don't wanna nor need to switch, and if they do they'll find it harder ONLY due to habits rather than it being inherently harder

I prefer "linux requires changing habits, nobody wants to do that", see the subtility ?

[high yarrow]

kde installer for windows :p

see the link i just posted

its a screenshot i just made

#linux message

there is also blackbox for windows and fluxbox for windows

look for screens of xoblite on google

[long briar]

it's not hard to use, many common apps (mainly games) run better on windows. most people won't benefit from "customization."

[high yarrow]

and as mentioned earlier i think , c programs compiled with the cosmopolitan libc , both run on windows and linux and osx and bsd ...

[long briar]

but it's fine. I'll use whatever I need to do whatever I need

[high yarrow]

only thing windows i really mis on linux is autohotkey

[rough socket]

You can do similar things as autohotkey

[high yarrow]

nope

you can do verry limited similar things with autokey but thats maybe 1% of what ahk can do

[long briar]

the only thing I miss on Linux is having speakers function correctly

[upbeat crater]

the heck

[long briar]

and Dolby vision

[rough socket]

So your speakers where working on linux but not on windows ?

[long briar]

no?

other way around

[rough socket]

ok

[long briar]

it's funny tho

the speakers work

[high yarrow]

pipewire + proaudio setting for the audio card

[long briar]

left and right are just flipped for half the drivers

Because it's a 4 speaker setup

two left two right

[upbeat crater]

meanwhile, im still using my laptop's speaker

[long briar]

nono that's my laptop

with two speakers per side

[rough socket]

Honestly dolby vision on windows isn't great too and it's annoying

[long briar]

my current laptop is now 6 and I haven't tried any other os than w11 because I CBA to fix what isn't broken

[high yarrow]

just route them by hand ?#linux message

[long briar]

Too much work I just went back to windows right after

xd

[rough socket]

hdr is a mess
The support from OSes is a mess
Hardware is a mess (95% of the tv or monitors are "fake" hdr)
Standardisation is a mess (quadrillion standards so no more sandards)
etc ..

[long briar]

imagine needing to do stuff for things to work

oh yea... Dolby vision can be supported while hdr10 isn't even tho vision is an extension of hdr10?

or something like that I don't remember

[rough socket]

It can't be really totally supported on windows

[long briar]

My current laptop has a 2560x1600 240hz 500 nit screen

[rough socket]

Which is unable to display any hdr content correctly

except if it's oled ...? maybe it is

[long briar]

It isn't

I hate OLED sm in laptops

[rough socket]

Miniled with high number of zones ? Like the recent macbooks do

if not oled nor a good miniled it can't display hdr

[night heron]

honestly 500nits is enough for most hdr

the only thing youd really miss out on are the absolute brightest highlights

youd still benefit from the wider color coverage and dynamic range in most scenes

[rough socket]

It's not just about max nits but about contrast

[night heron]

yeah thats my point

[rough socket]

And you don't have good contrast without oled or miniled

[night heron]

a 500nit fullscreen laptop oled might even be better than a flagship oled tv if the scene has high APL

[rough socket]

If it is oled

[night heron]

im excited for the next few waves of mini led ads-ips tvs we're gonna see over the next couple years

zone counts are going up exponentially

my 65" hisense u8k has great contrast, but i would rather have an ads-ips panel if it had comparable contrast with a higher zone count, because the off-angle viewing is horrendous

[fierce moth]

i cant wait for oled screens for old portables

cause the ips ones are nice (i have one in my gba) but having oled would be cooled

[prime solstice]

There are already oled screens for memory cards on the ps1

[rough socket]

I just want a 88" oled display

My 65" one is too small

i don't care that much about the rest, it's way more than enough as is

[fierce moth]

yeah the memcardpro

[night heron]

honestly i dont prefer oled for tvs

i dont prefer oled in general

[fierce moth]

theres also ones for the GC

[night heron]

my favorite display that i own is the one in my macbook pro aside from its slow pixel response time

[rough socket]

I ONLY use it for games and movies soooo

[night heron]

gaming is specifically why i dont like it

sdr gaming is just unenjoyably dim on oled tvs in game mode

[rough socket]

Uh it doesn't feel like that

[night heron]

media luminance doesnt really bother me but i dont enjoy gaming at 200-250nits

250 looks good in a dark room but i dont like being in a dark room all the time

i want 400-600 in a well lit room

[rough socket]

It's certainly not at 200-250

[night heron]

for sdr gaming in game mode on an oled tv it is

[rough socket]

You keep hdr on all the time, but then you can set the windows luminosity slider for sdr content to the required amount

[night heron]

i tried that with my alienware aw3423dwf but color and greyscale looked a little off so i didnt like it

just used it in sdr mode at 100% luminance which is 250nits

[prime solstice]

Does the hdmi mod for the ps1 remove the av port for it so if I wanna play it on a crt I still could

[upbeat crater]

im a simple man, i see big screen, i can see text and gui, it's a goddamn good screen

[fierce moth]

nah generally removes the serial port

[prime solstice]

Ok

[fierce moth]

which is rarely used

[prime solstice]

Cause I’ve seen loads of videos and some say the serial port or the av port needs to be removed

[fierce moth]

its generally the av multiout

which can do component/rgb out

older ps1s have the red white yellow plugs tho

[harsh quartz]

No U

[gilded forge]

no phones, TV's, laptops?

[night heron]

i guess i should clarify that i dont prefer w-oled and qd-oled over mini-led ips in general

the oled panels used in phones, tablets, and laptops are great

they can sustain high brightness and have high pixel density

Anyone else got the test message?

[cosmic copper]

Yes

[supple pawn]

It was planned for a while

[rapid jackal]

my phone got two alerts...

[polar fern]

That scared the shit out of me

[median idol]

For some reason I got mine in only Spanish

[pliant karma]

lol

[polar fern]

I was picturing people in Washington, just pushing buttons and moving levers, and not knowing what the hell they’re doing, and that’s why the alert went off …

[pliant karma]

everyone's phone went off in class except mines

[supple pawn]

I got mine in Spanish, then English, then English again.

[calm swan]

LMAO mine hasn't gone off yet

[polar fern]

You have to be in the United States or US territories

[calm swan]

i live in dc lol

[supple pawn]

Nah, it was planned. Supposed yo have happened at 2pm, but they were late.

[polar fern]

You’re special

Yes I’m sure it was planned, but it still scared the shit out of me

[vapid crown]

I thought people said it would be 2pm but it was like 20 minutes late

[calm swan]

lol all of my friends went off at the same time

it was 2:20 planned btw

[pliant karma]

I found out prob why it never went off lol

[calm swan]

💀

[supple pawn]

They should have not said it was a test and just let the country tear itself apart lol

[pliant karma]

yea day one I got my phone I shut that off. Found it annoying soo thre is that

[shy hinge]

yea

[median idol]

It went off again

[vapid crown]

No need. That’s already happening.

[past egret]

they know that their EAS is outdated

[calm swan]

eh it works

[gaunt flower]

iirc it was done last year as well

[gilded forge]

a test is done every year

at least supposed to

[polar fern]

Oh no, another standardised test to determine the allocation of funding.

[long briar]

We had like 7 Amber alerts or smth in a day

[polar fern]

Amber alerts are different

[long briar]

it was like a few months ago

no it was a mistake the system was broken

It was a mix of Amber and Hazard

[polar fern]

But like I said, amber alerts are different.

[long briar]

(it was supposed to be funny - About how people just pushing buttons)

[polar fern]

Amber alerts can be activated by the FBI or US marshals, National Guard, county or local law enforcement

[long briar]

I'm also not in the states

[polar fern]

Amber alert is a United States thing, but okay

[long briar]

it isn't

it's a north American thing, Canada uses it too

(no, Canada is in fact not, the 51st state)

[polar fern]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert

[long briar]

proves my point

Also it isn't even a north american thing anymore

everyone uses it xd

[pulsar violet]

I feel so big brain, I got a 64 gig so card but the Prusa 3D printer only accepts FAT32 format while the card is exFAT, then I realized to create FAT32 I had to be below 32 gigs so I created a 32 gig partition on my sd card in FAT32 format

[long briar]

Partitioning SD cards is so scuffed it's funny

[pulsar violet]

Yea lol

[long briar]

also why didn't you just go and get a 32gb card... or less...

like hell even a 2gb would do and they're free

[pulsar violet]

I didn’t know about the formatting as well as I might use it for other stuff if I need

[fierce moth]

you can do fat32 partitions on 64gb partitions

[pulsar violet]

They are relatively inexpensive

[polar fern]

My 256 gig sandisk USB drive is partitioned to have 32 gigs available for windows and the rest is Apple formatted. Windows computers can’t see the rest of the drive which I think is hilarious.

[long briar]

no not rly

it's just really scuffed

[fierce moth]

lol

[long briar]

printer may not be able to read it

ye in that case some devices can't use it

my camera, for example.

[fierce moth]

my ps2 can bloody read the thing

[long briar]

LOL

[long briar]

Fat32 main limitation really is just the 4gb file sizes

[pulsar violet]

the printer only reads FAT32

[long briar]

partition size normally isn't an issue with fat32, but with the device itself

[fierce moth]

the ps2 is usb 1.1 💀

[long briar]

that doesn't change anything

[pulsar violet]

oh alr

[long briar]

SD and usb aren't related

[prime solstice]

I remember once I was doing a apprenticeship at a phone repair shop and there was 15 alerts that went off in one day

[fierce moth]

and my 64gb card works on my wii, wii u and gc

[long briar]

now imagine you're in a conference with thousands of people and suddenly everyones phones start ringing

[fierce moth]

formatted fat32

[long briar]

And my camera doesn't recognize my 128gb on Fat32

but if it's exfat (which is superior in every way but compatibility) it works fine

[pulsar violet]

also I was at best buy picking up a TV and it has 4k 120hz capability, so I decided to get a HDMI 2.1 cable there and then I saw the prices of $79.99 for 3 meters and almost had a heart attack went on amazon and Ugreen had it for around $20 while still inside the store, I was like what is this BS

Safe to say that I got the ugreen one

[long briar]

theoretically Fat32 can do 16tb

but at like, zero performance

8tb to be usable

2tb which is "good"

and all that changes is sector and cluster sizes

[pulsar violet]

If anyone wants to decrypt my SD Cards enchantment table text you can but it’s this one

[prime solstice]

That’s what happened when I was working at the phone repair store everyone’s phones went off even the ones that were charged and fixed went off

[polar fern]

Most media storage cards are going to be ExFAT.

[long briar]

most media storage cards already are exfat

10 bucks for 128gb

they're gonna default exfat so that performance doesn't die

[polar fern]

Right that’s what I just said

[long briar]

You said "going"

[pulsar violet]

Here’s the print if anyone’s wondering

Switch opener but prongs are to far apart

Gonna have to redesign

[polar fern]

as in, “you’ll find it to be this way”, not a future tense

[long briar]

CF, SD, HDD, SSD, as long as its external it's likely exfat already

Ah okok

[sonic spruce]

Sata to 6, 6 to 8. To power a gtx 1660 super on a test bench before putting it in my pc? Yay or nay?

[polar fern]

No

[long briar]

why?

[polar fern]

Probably not worth the risk

[sonic spruce]

Why?

[sonic spruce]

I just want to see if it works, and install drivers in the test bench

I’m not gonna game with it in that pc

[long briar]

if you already have a 6 pin, just plug the 6 pin into the 8 pin and either it works, or you'll need to trick it by connecting the extra two pins (really funny how TUF 3090 with dual 8 pin uses the 2 pin for the power status indicators)

[sonic spruce]

It doesn’t

[polar fern]

Just think about what the functionality of a storage/optical drive is vs a graphics card and then think about the power draw needs of those two different components

[long briar]

Why does your PSU not have a 6 pin

[sonic spruce]

But doesn’t sata have 50 watts?

[polar fern]

Look at the spec sheet for your power supply before you plug anything in and turn it on

[sonic spruce]

It’s an old office pc, it’s not my main pc

[long briar]

you trust a psu without a 6 pin to be able to deliver 50w over sata without melting?

[sonic spruce]

Fair enough

[summer sphinx]

How over kill is 64gbs of ram?

[polar fern]

-blinks-

[sonic spruce]

Depends on what it’s for?

[long briar]

literally anything made in the last 12 years in my experience has either had a 6 pin, or a PSU that was about to explode at any given moment

[summer sphinx]

Standard gaming

[sonic spruce]

It’s very old

[polar fern]

It’s not overkill.

[long briar]

probably?

[summer sphinx]

I just got it for free when I ordered some fans

[sonic spruce]

Depends on the game

[sonic spruce]

Nice, install it anyways then

[summer sphinx]

Already did

[sonic spruce]

Nice

[polar fern]

64 gigs ram is enough for most broad uses

[summer sphinx]

Should probably turn on xmp but I'm still checking my system

[long briar]

I run 32gb, and find myself using up to about 19 while multitasking (including a game). When using CAD stuff I can use 30 no problem

[sonic spruce]

Yes

[long briar]

64gb can be pretty useful

[summer sphinx]

Had to reinstall windows and I'm testing tempa

[sonic spruce]

I use 32 GBs, it’s more than enough, cuz of my gpu bottleneck but still

Also 64 GBs of ram would cost like $80 more

[long briar]

my graphics is defo a bottleneck for gaming but in cad... both my ram and gpu are dying

[polar fern]

My new computer has 64 gigs, and it was a very fortunate outcome, because it literally hasn’t yet to have any limitations on what I can do based on memory

[sonic spruce]

What’s your gpu?

[polar fern]

I can have 3 to 4 high demand applications open and running at the same time

[sonic spruce]

I need a lot more ram for my laptop, cuz I use it for coding, but 32gbs is $50

[polar fern]

The less ram you have the less shoulder room you have for the apps to move around and do what they are doing

[sonic spruce]

^

But there’s a time when you can have too much ram, and it’s too much

[long briar]

my laptops got a 4050 😄

[sonic spruce]

Like do you really need 128gbs for playing cago

[long briar]

it's really meh

[polar fern]

If you are just running one application at a time 16 gigs is probably fine, however, if you are running 2 to 3 or more high demand applications, you should look at the minimum and recommended specs and take that into account.

[long briar]

96 bit mem bus is GARBAGE

[sonic spruce]

My laptop has igpu, my gaming pc has gtx 960 💀

[polar fern]

it also depends what type and speed of memory you are using

[pliant karma]

lol me in pain atm. Premire is going at it with 5gb used but 20+ is the norm now for me on my mac

[sonic spruce]

I have 32 GBs of ddr5-5600mhz

Laptop has 12 GBs at 3200 MHz

[polar fern]

faster and more responsive memory, but less memory overall can negate some performance penalties you may have because of less overall memory. That could only get you so far typically however.

[pliant karma]

though 32gb config was fine I really haven't maxed it out YET

[polar fern]

Some memory types are faster than others, though you really have to do your homework to see what the best system configuration is for your specific use

[long briar]

bro my laptop runs DDR4 (bruh)

32gb DDR4 3200

[pliant karma]

actually no I have maxed it out once. Adobe Lightroom likes to chomp on my ram

[long briar]

oh also 5600 is MT/s

not mhz

it's 2800mhz

please

stop using mhz

for numbers that are DDR

[sonic spruce]

Is there any point of oc my ram if my gpu is a gtx 960?

[long briar]

no

[sonic spruce]

I’m guess not

[long briar]

RAM oc normally nets very little performance

[sonic spruce]

What about gtx 1660 super?

[long briar]

Ryzen can benefit from high speeds

[sonic spruce]

Oh, ok. Cuz I was thinking about 6400mts ram

[long briar]

intel 13th gen and onwards also does

[sonic spruce]

Sorry, I have intel

12th gen

[tardy wolf]

Ik this is so off topic but I need to tell this to sm1, why the actual fuck did my friend load out his house with a 40 ethernet network switch, Made a 120Tb NAS and bought like 20 Cat8 Ethernet cables 💀💀 and all he does is game

[long briar]

yea 12th gen intel doesn't lose much even going down to DDR4 from ddr5

[long briar]

Why not

[sonic spruce]

Boredom

[long briar]

If I had the money for that I would too

[tardy wolf]

He spent near 10 grand 💀💀

[long briar]

yea? not shocking

[sonic spruce]

Would motherboard matter cuz if not, I’m down to upgrade cpu in future

[long briar]

Upgrade cpu from what to what

if you're going 13th gen, AVOID ddr4

[tardy wolf]

He mounted all that on the wall aswell it looks fucking ridiculous 😂😂😂

[long briar]

if you're going 12th gen, DDR4 is fine

if it's DDR5, then it doesn't really matter

[sonic spruce]

I have i7-12700k and 32 GBs of ddr5 rn

[long briar]

yea you can upgrade to 13th gen

but 12700k is also good enough for like

99% of people, I don't see why you'd need better

[sonic spruce]

Idk

I’m just bored af rn

[long briar]

My laptop is faster than the workstations here, yet the workstations does more actual work than I ever will on my laptop

and that thing has a 12700h

[sonic spruce]

Nice

[long briar]

save ur money, GPU is your priority

[sonic spruce]

I have an i7-1355u

[sonic spruce]

True, once 11/11 happens, I’m getting a gtx 1660 super

If I get a job by then

Cuz I was fired for requesting time off for school

[long briar]

rememberance day?

also perhaps look at something a little more powerful than a 1660s

[slim creek]

why a 1660

[sonic spruce]

Well it’s only temporary, it’s gonna be in my pc for 2 years then replaced in the future

[sonic spruce]

It will be replaced

[sonic spruce]

?

[long briar]

11/11?

[slim creek]

why not just save more money and get a better gpu instead of waiting 2 years?

2GB of RAM, Intel, no GPU, 480p screen

[opal thunder]

Damn so my previous computer with pentium from 2013 and 8gb of ram was not even low end 💀

I considered it e-waste.

[summer sphinx]

Scrap yards and contests i won

[opal thunder]

Can not even play minecraft at the newest versions.

[summer sphinx]

My PC is technically a sleeper

[prime solstice]

Commodore Amiga

[summer sphinx]

Look in #1159270909228613803 If you wanna see pics lol

[lilac bear]

now that's high end

[opal thunder]

Ngl that's insane. Even though I would never buy new for those parts the cpu and gpu alone are that much new.

[summer sphinx]

Me who bought EVERYTHING used

Only new thing in my setup is my keyboard and mouse

I was tired of stock HP even then the keyboard was 30 bucks in a combo

And I got some sick new headphones too in that combo

I have around 5-6tbs of total storage in the system too

So is my PC considered mid range lol?

[indigo plume]

Amazon basics mouse and keyboard is where it's at

[summer sphinx]

I bought it at Econo

[lilac bear]

me who bought a Razer mouse for the low response time:

[summer sphinx]

Me who bought an alpha gaming combo set cause it was better than stock HP

[dusky jacinth]

Me, who bought Razer mice, only because they're actually good enough for how cheap they were:

[opal thunder]

Tbf I have a 4080 but use this shit

[lilac bear]

[opal thunder]

model name so it’s easy to find whatever this mouse is called

Probably costs 1$

Idk came with my pentium 8gb dram igpu pc from 2013

[urban thistle]

Cs2 or pc?

[fierce moth]

How about experimental ethernet on gamecube?

[gilded forge]

for PSO??

but also didn't the GCN already have a broadband adapter officially released by Nintendo?

[manic torrent]

I like to buy some stuff used, but prices have been insane for a lot of things

Although I spend a bit more and get a bit more - my 3080ti cost more than your whole system

[dim forge]

Anyone here have to deal with sony warranty claim? Cause I'm having to go through it, and I got 2 emails saying the warranty is accepted and all that but one email lists a different model model and the other lists the same

[prime solstice]

But GameCube never had fiber

Nvm I’m dumb

It is Ethernet

[fierce moth]

Yeah but those cost 300-400 aud

[fierce moth]

In the future

There's still some kinks to iron out

[dreamy rose]

i mean Xbox had it built in,

[fierce moth]

So did ps2 slims

[dreamy rose]

they didn't really do online stuff did they?

[fierce moth]

Yeah some games used it

[dreamy rose]

at least the PS2 isn't really remembered for its online capabilities

[fierce moth]

Namely gt4

[polar fern]

@opal thunder the logi B100 is better

[spare lintel]

bread

[sonic spruce]

Aftermarket ones don’t exist?

Wtf, someone should make some

[fierce moth]

Lol

Bba hardware is custom

Specifically designed for Nintendo

So making new ones has been difficult to say the least

[full fossil]

thoughts on rtx 4070ti tuf?

[prime solstice]

Graphics

[harsh quartz]

Sure is a gpu

[harsh quartz]

Mmmm jraphics

[full fossil]

i take that as a no

[prime solstice]

Is it built ford tough

[harsh quartz]

Or is it precision german engineered?

[full fossil]

is it as reliable as a nissan transmission?

sarcasm

[prime solstice]

So not that reliable

[full fossil]

idk im asking u

[harsh quartz]

Will off itself within 6 months

[full fossil]

is it good or notp

[prime solstice]

Idk

I’m rocking a 3050

[full fossil]

why

[prime solstice]

Because it pre installed with my laptop

[harsh quartz]

Probably cause they don’t have 900$ to drop on a gpu

[full fossil]

why tho

[prime solstice]

That aswell

[prime solstice]

I ain’t spending $3000 for a damn laptop

[full fossil]

YEAH but WHY

WHAT IS the REASON

[harsh quartz]

Are you just trying to be belligerent?

[full fossil]

yeah

[full fossil]

[prime solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/fear-gif-4516342676332274003

[harsh quartz]

Did you click the Brooklyn 99 one?

[full fossil]

😭

[prime solstice]

Yes

[harsh quartz]

🙂

Good

[prime solstice]

But instead it put backstreet boys which now makes me sound rude

[full fossil]

[harsh quartz]

Aren’t you though?

[prime solstice]

Idk maybe it says ain’t nothing but a mistake

[full fossil]

[harsh quartz]

Everyone in this chat is eventually :p

[prime solstice]

Anyways I’m gonna try to get my 3050 to work with manjaro

[harsh quartz]

Try full path tracing

[prime solstice]

I tried to play portal with rtx and my laptop started flying

[harsh quartz]

I didn’t understand that one cause it ran completely smoothly on mine

[full fossil]

Hi

[harsh quartz]

Tbf I have a 3070 but other people were telling me it ran like shit on their 3070s but mine was perfect

[full fossil]

why

[prime solstice]

I am using a 3050 like I said previously but it can play starfield when it’s plugged in

[full fossil]

why wont it work when its plugged in

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, I just don’t know why some people had such bad times with portal rtx when I didn’t. And I haven’t even tried starfield cause it doesn’t look entertaining

[prime solstice]

Idk ask Microsoft why windows doesn’t recognize my laptop keyboard or usb keyboard when I turn on windows

[full fossil]

damn thats crazy

[prime solstice]

My laptop can’t handle ray tracing

[full fossil]

why tho?

[prime solstice]

[harsh quartz]

Bro, you got the whole squad laughin I promise

[full fossil]

i really do have better things to do rn but im choosing to act like an ass

gn

[full fossil]

why

[lilac bear]

I find it interesting how Linus' main gripe of Xperia phones is that you can't change the back button position

[quiet mural]

How often do you answer calls and discover they are spam

[vapid smelt]

98%

[quiet mural]

Well with the new Google pixel 8 you dont ever have to worry with that . With calll screen callers are asked why they are calling and powered by machine learning running on the phone detects if they are a scam or not.

[vapid smelt]

i have a pixel 5a 5g it already has that

[quiet mural]

oh good

im trying to get more people to switch

[quiet mural]

gonna try my pitch in a apple server

wish me luck

[prime solstice]

i dont like google products i honestly prefer samsung

[quiet mural]

why is that

[prime solstice]

honestly idk i like the look of the samsung products more same as the ui that samsung has

[quiet mural]

thats fine

as long as it isnt a iphone

[lilac bear]

oh goodness OneUI fan

[quiet mural]

its better than IOS

and touchwiz that came before it

[prime solstice]

im using a iphone 11 now but im saving up for the s23 ultra

[lilac bear]

nah you just Apple hater, anything better than iPhone to you

[prime solstice]

i mean apple has side loading which is a pain in the ass to do where as android you download the apk and youre good

[fierce moth]

Oneui is decent tho

[prime solstice]

but what i like from one ui is the way you can choose the colour of icons and folders based on the wallpaper you have

[lilac bear]

yeah thats called preferring Android cause it offers use cases for you

not everyone installs APKs or sideloads

[prime solstice]

i like sideloading for playing melee with friends online

[quiet mural]

pixel has that its called adaptive icons

[prime solstice]

or even an app thats no longer on the app store

[prime solstice]

oh i didnt know that might have to play around with a pixel one day

[quiet mural]

https://developer.android.com/static/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/images/adaptive-icon-themed-icons.png

[prime solstice]

that looks good

[quiet mural]

yeah

and the new pixel will get 7 years of updates

[prime solstice]

kinda wish samsung introduced something like that like the google form

[fierce moth]

This, namely any smart home app that doesn't support your country, or apps that don't support your phone for zero reason

[quiet mural]

if you have a unlockable bootloader you can install AOSP and you might be able to do it

[prime solstice]

yeah thats why i like sideloading but i dont wanna potentially brick my phone just to jail break it

[fierce moth]

Rooting nowadays doesn't have much benefits

[quiet mural]

and void the warrenty

[prime solstice]

yeah

[quiet mural]

you can still get support from your OEM if you sideload

[fierce moth]

If you wanna get technical company's can't legally do this in the us

[quiet mural]

for devices without roms it can be helpful for debloating

[prime solstice]

where as with android you can go from the one it comes with to stock android back to the os it came with

[quiet mural]

well Apple does it anyway
