[jaunty compass]

Yeah, I downloaded it earlier but I haven't installed it yet

That's a bad example that thing is awful

[spice pine]

Isn't that the thing rossmann was pushing that got him a strike on YouTube?

[jaunty compass]

The Acer nitro 5 is the cheapest gaming laptop around for a reason

A terrible terrible screen and pretty bad build quality

[gusty portal]

DDR4, 3-generation-old CPU, 3050Ti

[polar fern]

The anti-lgbtq & fringe prepper ads should be banned from YouTube. I’m all for advertising a business because employees but ideological bullshit should be off-limits

[jaunty compass]

3 gen old?

[gusty portal]

isn't intel on 15 now?

or are they still on 14?

[spice pine]

hot take; I can't stand Rossmann, idk what it is about him but he seems incredibly stuck up and self-confident and it makes his content borderline unwatchable for me

[jaunty compass]

Half of the ads I got before I put adblock on everything were pragerU bullshit

[polar fern]

Oh no

[jaunty compass]

If you know who they are you know why that was annoying enough for me to put on adblock and never turn it off again

Over half of all of the ads I was getting were from them

Because I live in the southern u.s.

[polar fern]

Yeah the misinformation stuff should not be allowed

[restive lion]

damn i hate those people who have self confidence

[jaunty compass]

It's not misinformation it's disinformation which is worse

[vapid smelt]

they JUST got on 14 and 14th is just a 13th gen refresh

[polar fern]

That too

Bbl

[harsh quartz]

Man’s livin in 2025

[jaunty compass]

I mean to be fair he has literally gone in front of the government at this point to make the case for right to repair

It's not like he's just some random crackpot on YouTube

[spice pine]

Which, is inarguably good. I won't deny that he's fighting a good fight there.

I just don't like his personality

[harsh quartz]

He likes his aggressive soapbox and restates the same thing 15 times in a row

[gusty portal]

tbh I haven't been paying much attention to intel CPUs. Still, DDR4 vs 5X, the Legion Go is still cheaper, and probably also has a better screen

And isn't the 3050Ti mobile kind of a joke?

[harsh quartz]

I don’t fully understand the DDR4-5 argument, it really doesn’t make too much of a difference for gaming

[jaunty compass]

The 3050 is a joke in general

[harsh quartz]

The 3050 is an insult to gamers and a remnant of the bad time

[hot tartan]

I’ve got a laptop w it, it’s alright

[jaunty compass]

The 3050, 2050, and 3050 ti are all garbage

[gusty portal]

RAM speed can have some impact on game performance, particularly in loading and 99% lows IIRC

[hot tartan]

3050Ti can do some light gaming, it’s really not too bad

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but when it comes to ddr4 vs ddr5, it’s not that noticeable

It’s not like the jumps from 2-3 or 3-4

[jaunty compass]

Seriously though

If you need an $800 gaming laptop right now, go with this one

It sold super poorly because of the really high initial price but now Newegg is getting rid of a ton of Old stock so there's a huge sale on it that has been going on for like a month

I bought one around a month ago and it has been quite a good laptop

[gusty portal]

it does look good, but idk

[harsh quartz]

A lot of current laptops under 1k already have 4050s and 4060s in them

[gusty portal]

If I buy a mobile computer, it's going to be my primary only for a short time while I'm doing some moving, and I'd probably never touch the laptop afterward. The Legion Go has the residual benefit of bed/couch/extremely portable gaming

[jaunty compass]

The 6700m is roughly comparable to a mobile 3070 sometimes a 3060 depending on what game

But it has 10 gigs of vram

[gusty portal]

that's good

some games are getting absurdly heavy on VRAM

[vapid smelt]

the weaker 3050 beats the rog ally z1 cpu same used on the lenovo legion go

[harsh quartz]

In my experience mobile Radeon chips are kind of finnicky

[jaunty compass]

I haven't had any issues with it except for with my VR headset but I blame that on quest link

[gusty portal]

different use case

[jaunty compass]

Because the issue was with quest link

[vapid smelt]

[elfin jetty]

[gusty portal]

you can't directly compare a handheld and a full laptop

[jaunty compass]

The display has 100% srgb coverage and looks quite good at 240 Hertz

[gusty portal]

even if it is a smaller laptop

[harsh quartz]

Laptop vs handheld, yeah the laptop will win but…. Handheld

[jaunty compass]

I mean in a performance to performance comparison you can but I understand that you mean it's not really the point

But with how a lot of people use these things as consoles they dock to their TV or a portable replacement

You really can compare them directly

[vapid smelt]

my steam deck is way thicker than a laptop and laptops can be used on your lap

[gusty portal]

I was thinking about getting a Steam Deck. SteamOS seems like an amazing platform for gaming, but I'd have to do workarounds to play Genshin on it

[gusty portal]

nobody actually uses a laptop on his lap anymore

[jaunty compass]

Steamos is just a supported version of Linux that has heavy support from valve

Not to disparage it they have done a ton of work to get Linux gaming as good as it is

[gusty portal]

I know, but Genshin's not Linux-compatible. I'd have to do workarounds or a Windows dual-install

[vapid smelt]

and people dont game like this with handhelds

[gusty portal]

They don't? Seems like the entire point of a handheld

That's how I'd be using it

[vapid smelt]

i use mine like this

[gusty portal]

k

[vapid smelt]

and people use it on thier lap like a laptop 😛

[hot tartan]

Laptop plus controller, ez

[gusty portal]

There's still a very large difference between that and balancing a laptop on your lap

[vapid smelt]

both are portable gaming devices

[gusty portal]

please, don't be obtuse

[hot tartan]

No I’m acute

[heady orchid]

You have strong arms to be able to play handhelds like that

[cold prism]

I lift every day to be able to game with my steam deck like that

[heady orchid]

its not even lifting thats just flexing out your arm full length with a heavy weight

[low rain]

Our WiFi has been down and we’ve been getting these notifs since fucking Friday

[vapid smelt]

is that bad?

[manic torrent]

What seasoning

[vapid smelt]

what episode is that from?

[vapid smelt]

what flavor of cpu?

[plain wyvern]

AMD

[vague sphinx]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zD2h9c can anyone make this cheaper with the same GPU model and case?

[plain wyvern]

Thermal Paste Sauce

[vapid smelt]

whats your budget?

[vague sphinx]

Anything it will just take longer to save if its more. Im 15 and gotta save for a car too. Id rather not pay more than 2,200 AUD

[vapid smelt]

you know the have a aud pcpartpicker

[vague sphinx]

They do??

I looked for one and didn’t find it

[vague sphinx]

Shit man

That would be right lol

[abstract shale]

To amd rx 6000 gpu users, do AFMF really usable to all games?

[vague sphinx]

This would be my second pc i need two bc my parents r split

[abstract shale]

And does it feels good to use it or not?

[vague sphinx]

Its their fault im gonna be broke

[gilded quest]

Probably a mystery tech. I miss his signature catch phrase

[worthy needle]

what’s that

[abstract shale]

Something similar to frame gen but needs to be activated on radeon adrenaline software

[chrome vector]

attack

[worthy needle]

oh. I would test it for you but my 6600 died. Trying to get in the return process currently

[vapid smelt]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/VygkDZ same gpu and a case thats half the cost

[vague sphinx]

Tysm dude

[abstract shale]

Oops, i hope they send one ASAP

Im planning to build a pc, would love to get nvidia instead of amd but feels their gpu are not enticing enough

[vague sphinx]

I only buy nvidia gpus simply for bragging

Aka im a fanboy

[abstract shale]

The requirement to spend atleast 500 usd to get a gpu with more than 8gb vram feels weird and not enticing at all

And dont even talk about 4060ti, that gpu duck ass

[vague sphinx]

I have 3060ti oc + it has 3 fans so i oc it more and its a 1080p BEAST

bottlenecks my i3 12100f tho

[vapid smelt]

um actually the new 7700xt 12gb is $450 and the ARc a770 16gb is $290-330

[stark wraith]

oops wrong channel 😂

[abstract shale]

Im talking about nvidia

If course i can grab 6700 xt if i want a decent gpu with more vram

[worthy needle]

microcenter return policy is good i just forgot to buy a warranty. Amd is cheaper but nvidia is more reliable imo. With warranty it shouldn’t matter. I’m lucky that powercolor has a free 2 year warranty

[abstract shale]

But i want adequate ray tracing performance

[vapid smelt]

a770 is pretty good

[abstract shale]

Sadly im not in NA

[worthy needle]

oh damn

[abstract shale]

So no microcenters

[worthy needle]

and warranties are different overseas too

[abstract shale]

Isnt the 4060ti a lot faster than a770? And its has the same price as 4060ti in my country so probably no

[vapid smelt]

a770 is close to the 3060ti last i checked

[abstract shale]

Ahh

I guess my option is just 6700 xt if i want more vram

[vapid smelt]

march 2023 drivers

but raytracing its way closer

[abstract shale]

400 usd for a a770 in my country, goddang lmao

6700 xt is 300 usd

[vapid smelt]

$290 for the 16gb model here

[vapid smelt]

lmao how is the faster 6700xt cheaper

[abstract shale]

Ahh if only

[abstract shale]

Supply and demand i guess

[vapid smelt]

what country are you in?

[abstract shale]

Indonesia

Dang even i can get an used 6700xt for 195 usd here lmao

[vapid smelt]

damn what a unlucky spawn

[abstract shale]

Exactly, pc stuff prices here are quite weird lmao

And maybe because my currency is weak, a slight difference in price feels massive to me

If only theres a 3070 with 12gb or 16gb vram

[vapid smelt]

well if you mod it you can get 16

[vapid smelt]

you mean like the 4060ti 16gb

[abstract shale]

My balls are not big enough for this

[abstract shale]

510 usd in my country, BIG NO

And thats for the absolute cheapest model

[vapid smelt]

$430 for the cheapest one here

[abstract shale]

Probably around 550 for other model

[abstract shale]

How lucky

[vapid smelt]

spend $50 on a weed Wacker then make a boat out of free pallets of wood and logs and boat to twain break into Nvidia warehouse and steal some 4090s

[abstract shale]

The most bought one here are the ventus 2x model for $560 usd, how are people feels fine buying it

[pulsar violet]

I was thinking and a mirror just gives u a low latency reflection of yourself but the letency is never 0

[abstract shale]

Pretty good idea

[pulsar violet]

since there is a speed limit which is speed of light

[vapid smelt]

i never see myself in the mirror i always have to use my phone

[abstract shale]

Ahh i guess i need to give up on ray tracing

Probably the wisest thing to do

[pulsar violet]

ray tracing in game is cool and all but there is literally no point unless ur doing something productive

[vapid smelt]

are you good at boating?

[abstract shale]

Well im playing games, guess how productive it is lmao

[abstract shale]

A man can only try

[pulsar violet]

i need some advice on a ebay return
i had listed an item as one model number ebay changed the title to the incorrect model number
someone bought it and opened a return request
i had posted pictures of the model number in the listing and said in the desc "order based off of model number shown in pictures"
what should i do to move forward with this return request? i dont really have the money to give him a refund...

[prime solstice]

I share the same birthday as SHIGERU MIYAMOTO

Where's New Horizons?

[wispy marsh]

Horizon Zero Dawn?

[fierce moth]

I wanna learn an instrument

But it feels like im too old

Also the fact is that an one particular instrument I want to learn is rather expensive to get

[wispy marsh]

Guitar

[dusty rune]

oboe

[wispy marsh]

Play some easy metallica songs

[wooden minnow]

Animal Crossing.

[wispy marsh]

Oh that adult game

[fierce moth]

Nah I'm into jazz and classical

I want to learn either piano or saxophone

[wispy marsh]

I see

Piano

Dance of the bumblebee

[fierce moth]

Video game jazz 😎

[wooden minnow]

Nintendo makes the best video game jazz/big band. Fight. Me.

[fierce moth]

Absolutely fucking correct

Mk8 ost

Sooo good

Same goes for super mario 3d world

[wooden minnow]

YESSSSS

The music on Honeycomb Starway/Skyway and Champion's Road is the best rendition of Gusty Garden IMO

[fierce moth]

Bowsers theme is sublime

[wooden minnow]

Also I don't quite get it

Why is it that console fanboy pages tend to just mention PS/Xbox?

Does Nintendo not exist to them?

[spice pine]

in terms of competition? not really

[fierce moth]

Nintendo always did their own thing

[spice pine]

Nintendo has a corner on the weird hole in the market that neither xbox nor playstation seems to be filling, focusing on the “family friendly” games primarily

[wooden minnow]

Goodness me though

Their soundtracks are just something else

[fierce moth]

I always saw Nintendo as a controller innovation business

[wooden minnow]

I guess the way Nintendo does things is exactly what attracts me to 'em

[fierce moth]

So many firsts came from Nintendo controllers

[wooden minnow]

Like, I enjoy how their games lean family-friendly, and their soundtracks are amazing

They also have some of the best "cutesy" characters too

[fierce moth]

Although I might get blasted for this, the wii u was one of the best consoles

At least in terms of software

A lot of quality games released for the system

[wooden minnow]

Had one, got obsoleted by the Switch sadly

[fierce moth]

And the wii u gamepad is a very comfortable controller

Homebrew revived the wii u tbh

[wooden minnow]

Absolute work of art IMO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqBi_4xgdHE

I mean the thing is, Gusty Garden is easily among the very best themes in gaming, but the Honeycomb Starway/Skyway/Champion's Road rendition just takes it up to a whole new level

[fierce moth]

https://youtu.be/JARfNkd7eoI

Been listening to this

Such a bloody vibe

[wooden minnow]

Thing is, Nintendo soundtracks are sheer works of art at this point

[dusty rune]

blud hasnt heard dark souls music

[fierce moth]

Better than the games at times

[dusty rune]

bros have like an orchestra and a chorus

[wooden minnow]

Nintendo has orchestras too :)

[dusty rune]

or the fact that mick gordon used a chainsaw to make an OST in doom

[fierce moth]

literally super mario galaxy

[dusty rune]

you cannot compare mario music to dark souls

[fierce moth]

i think i can

[dusty rune]

https://open.spotify.com/track/65CefKbmaG0ZkumWSFKbxC?si=14a48d990b444027 work of art

[fierce moth]

but alas its all based on opinion

[dusty rune]

mario is all jazzy and stuff

[dusty rune]

https://open.spotify.com/track/1xrfci6PJJIBzCbKTmfuX3?si=71571bd4167e4027 somewhere in this song

[fierce moth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9qLXyX9dIs nah

that is a beautiful orchestra

[dusty rune]

[chrome vector]

Holy shit, everytime I look at 2280 NVME SSDs I realize just how small they are... I always think they are bigger. But damn, this 2230 is absolutely tiny! Crazy how 2TB's fits on here.

[carmine stirrup]

Wow! That really is tiny!

[fossil frost]

tbh, most 2280s are only 2280 because its the standard form factor and not all boards have the screw for the smaller form factors, and people see the smaller ones as lesser quality.

a lot of 2280s are mostly empty space

anyone good at chemistry here?

[visual fern]

i'm good at guiding people, go ask a chemistry discord

[unkempt widget]

i remembered how to do it

[neon mesa]

nope, i'm a CS gal kek

[unkempt widget]

chemistry is making me doubt my existence

[north magnet]

eww i used to do this in highschool, actually melted my brain mols did

[lost kite]

What should i get Rog ally or Legion Go or a cheap gaming laptop

[unkempt widget]

i am in highschool and my brain is melting

[north magnet]

Looks british

[unkempt widget]

it is british

[north magnet]

Yeah , i managed to pass gcse u should be able to aswell lol

did u take triple?

[unkempt widget]

this is a level

i didn't do gcse chem and i jumped to a level chem

[north magnet]

How you doing a levels in highschool hm

Because that were what i was learning in year11

[unkempt widget]

year 12 rn

not in the uk btw, international school

[north magnet]

year 12 highschool whatt

OHHHH, you shouldve said lol

[unkempt widget]

basically they added year 12 and 13 into high school

[north magnet]

Yeah ah okay bit like germany

[unkempt widget]

never been there but sure

[north magnet]

Gesamtchule i think and gymnasium do that

Yes, they do

just had to double check

[unkempt widget]

damn

[north magnet]

yeah harsh time, from ages 10-19 you're in school lol

[unkempt widget]

i'm doing triple science + math

[north magnet]

Ah i did triple in gcse

scary

[unkempt widget]

didn't even do triple in gcse

[north magnet]

i liked the physics but thats about it

[unkempt widget]

took history instead of chemistry, and got a B

[north magnet]

Ahr with this u have to take all three then two other subjects which were engineering and CS lol

failed cs

[unkempt widget]

could've taken chem this entire time, gotten at least an A, and probably not lose my mind over chem homework at 11:30pm

[unkempt widget]

in gcse?

[north magnet]

yeah at my old school if you took triple you could only take two other subjects

[unkempt widget]

oh

so you get to drop english in gcse

[north magnet]

Nooo haha

[unkempt widget]

oh nvm then

[north magnet]

other than core subjects you get your triple and two others

[unkempt widget]

what are core subjects

[north magnet]

so maths english then triple science then two other subjects you choose

Maths and english

[unkempt widget]

wait where did you go to school

[north magnet]

UK

[unkempt widget]

oh

i thought you were in germany or smth

[north magnet]

Yeah im in college now, so much more laid back

[north magnet]

i mean i couldve done that as a transfer student but didnt take the option

[unkempt widget]

ah

our school has us to do world literature as well as english language

[north magnet]

Ah yeah we had to do both LIT and Lang

[unkempt widget]

got A* in my reports for both those subjects, took the exam and then got a B

absolutely comical

[north magnet]

B is still alot better than what i had got in my actual exam

I were getting high b's and then managed to get a fucking D

[unkempt widget]

fucking hell

[north magnet]

Yeah

Just going to retake it in may within college

Nothing too bad

[unkempt widget]

my classmate got a D in english after getting As in report cards

[north magnet]

Yeah, i mean the only thing i kept consistent with was my engineering

[unkempt widget]

he retook during october session

[north magnet]

Thats good then

[unkempt widget]

i also had to do chinese as well

[north magnet]

Chinese dayum

thats harsh

[unkempt widget]

exams weren't hard, teacher was an absolute nightmare

[north magnet]

Ah well , if you passed it thats really crazy

[unkempt widget]

semester one teacher made us do homework every day and shit, and we had dictation (i never passed those somehow)

[north magnet]

could never do that , learn chinese would be nice though

[full fossil]

bo'oe o'e wa'ae

[north magnet]

Niceeee one pal

[unkempt widget]

and then she got a cerebral embolism or smth and another teacher took over

[unkempt widget]

not very nice

[full fossil]

wa'ae

[north magnet]

wtfs an cerebral embolism

[unkempt widget]

basically there's a chance blood stops flowing to your brain and you die on the spot

i think she's recovered because she's back in school

[north magnet]

Ah doesnt sound too healthy

[unkempt widget]

we had those horrible speaking exams

[north magnet]

I had to do that with german

[unkempt widget]

where there would be 2 sets of topics and 4 minutes each, and 5 questions

[north magnet]

Yeah lol exactly same

[unkempt widget]

you somehow have to fill in the entire fucking 4 minutes with those 5 questions, or else they ask you really hard or dumb questions

and the first two questions are like one sentence responses

[north magnet]

Yeah no i think alot from our school had failed the speaking exams

[unkempt widget]

"what sport do you like playing"
"i like playing basketball and badminton"
"who do you play badminton with"
"i play badminton with my classmates and my family"
"can you elaborate?"

and you have literally nothing to say extra

[north magnet]

baha basically just short and sweet to make u fail towards the end

[unkempt widget]

yep

[north magnet]

Ah welp they set us up for failure there

[unkempt widget]

still remember when i accidentally answered "i am disgusting" instead of "i am nauseous"

and my classmate was trying not to laugh and got a stomachache and got sent to the hospital

[north magnet]

hahahaha

id actually start pissing my self

not litterally

[unkempt widget]

i didn't realize anything wrong

[north magnet]

Im surprised they didnt laugh

[unkempt widget]

until they had to explain to me what i had just said

[north magnet]

Hehe what u think after that then

[unkempt widget]

we left the room and his face was completely red from holding in a laugh

[north magnet]

Bahahahah something id probably do anyways

[unkempt widget]

and also i didn't know how to write shit

we had to write very short essays (80 words for one, and 150 words for the second one) but i always end up forgetting how to write words

luckily during the actual exam i managed to write all the words so

[quiet condor]

helloo

[unkempt widget]

hello

[north magnet]

[unkempt widget]

it really isn't tbh

[north magnet]

[unkempt widget]

magic ig

[north magnet]

I tried accsessing the chinese discord but i needed a verified account or something

or a chinese phone number

i have a wechat account somehow though, and an alipay account

[unkempt widget]

wtf

how do you have those

[north magnet]

i dno tbf but theyre all fully setup, alipay with a uk credit card attatched to it

not even 18 lol

[unkempt widget]

fuckin magic

[north magnet]

Swear you need a chinese resident to get you a wechat account if you live outside of china

[unkempt widget]

if i tried to login on a different device my account gets frozen

[north magnet]

How why what

[unkempt widget]

idk

[north magnet]

let me login to my wechat lol

[unkempt widget]

in september this year, my parents didn't allow me to have my phone in my room

(welcome to asian parenting)

[north magnet]

huh thats odd

ohh okay

[unkempt widget]

but my alarm clock in my room broke so my mom let me borrow her old phone for alarms

[north magnet]

heh fair enough

[unkempt widget]

and i tried to log on to wechat on my mom's phone

[north magnet]

how u on ur phone rn?

[unkempt widget]

we had an argument and now i'm allowed

[north magnet]

fucks sake cus im logging into a diff device its asking for china resident verification

[unkempt widget]

LOL

wechat's simultaneously the most and least convenient social media ever

[north magnet]

its so annoying

YESSSS

IM IN

[unkempt widget]

anyways i had to explain to my mom my account got locked, and i needed her face to match with her personal details

[north magnet]

oh right thats tad inconvenient

[unkempt widget]

and i told her that morning and she got really mad at me and didn't want to do it

so i went to school without being logged onto wechat

[north magnet]

oh okay what happens with that

[unkempt widget]

which wasn't the end of the world but there was a classmate i had to call who wasn't there on the first day

[north magnet]

howcome u were surprised i had wechat account?

[unkempt widget]

it's really hard to get one no

[north magnet]

i think so?

i just signed up

same w alipay

[unkempt widget]

lol does anyone else around you have wechat

[north magnet]

asked for a +86 number but still let me

no lol not at all

[unkempt widget]

then what's the point

[north magnet]

to chat to factories in china about stuff

[unkempt widget]

oh

interesting

[north magnet]

yeah they quite funny to talk to

with all their hello friend, thank you dear, wait kindly and stuff

[unkempt widget]

Man I just bought one

Not the oled but the original

[cosmic copper]

i bought mine like a month ago

and literally bought one today for my friend right before they lowered the prices of the original

[sudden bough]

Why is reality so poopy?

I don’t like this MMO. IRL is terrible.

[night heron]

hell yeah steam deck but with a not-shit display

[icy rock]

no im actually serious, if u spoke out aginst the government to ur friends in we chat, would u get introuble

[night heron]

pog

[graceful burrow]

if you're serious about politics you should just not talk about them here lol

[icy rock]

my bad bro

the limited edition steam deck looks cool

[sudden bough]

😐

[prime solstice]

Sweet I can buy myself a birthday gift

[stoic beacon]

Well...I wonder how easy it'll be to sell my old one

Just bought Quest 3, can't justify yet another console right now

[sterile rivet]

when I’m in a Getting free stuff competition and my opponent is a tech YouTuber

[jade lantern]

i hope the price of steam decks drops as a whole, or at least the regular ones compared to oled ones

and its not just more for the oled and others stay the same

[stoic beacon]

From the looks of the site, the lowest tier will remain the same at $400 and stay as LCD, but the middle and high tier ones will be OLED

[jade lantern]

ok

i wonder about refurbished ones if those will be just random which you get or always oled

[stoic beacon]

Are you ordering refurbished straight from Steam?

[jade lantern]

i would be if i do

[stoic beacon]

They'll definitely tell you which one it is then

Also, this

[jade lantern]

is that on steams website

[stoic beacon]

Yes.

Though the upgrades you get for $100 more at this point are insane

[jade lantern]

its only the ssd upgrade and a profile bundle different on that one thats 100$ more right?

[prime solstice]

Since the lcd 256 gb model is now $499 Canadian I might just buy that one

[jade lantern]

i might buy the cheap one and put in a new ssd

[stoic beacon]

According to some of the sites I found, it's also a better battery, better cooling, and a 90hz screen.

Larger screen too

[stoic beacon]

Oh, I was referring to the jump to the $550 OLED one.

[prime solstice]

I wonder if you can swap parts across the new one and the old one

[stoic beacon]

I doubt it, different screen size probably means different chassis

[prime solstice]

Yeah

[velvet marsh]

Shell looks the same, but yeah internals are different

[prime solstice]

The apu is smaller

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, that's how they pulled off the better battery and airflow

Charging cable is longer too for what it's worth

[prime solstice]

Damn I might have to wait til I fix it has some in stock and pick one up

[slate agate]

the ltt video says they just shrunk the black border for the screen, same case?

[stoic beacon]

Oh, that's good then

[cosmic copper]

The internals are pretty different

Also

[waxen verge]

hey that's pretty cool

[cosmic copper]

im still crossing my fingers that ill be able to upgrade the display, but it sounds doubtful

[snow thicket]

Gamers Nexus says in his video it is not compatible

[cosmic copper]

rip

I hope there will be some workaround for it still. I really dont want to buy a new steam deck but I also really want that new screen

or a 3rd-party screen that is similar, but thats probably less likely

[stoic beacon]

Just sell your old one and pick up the new one. It's a lot more than just the screen

[cosmic copper]

the screen is the biggest improvement (at least, IMO)

but yeah once they experiment enough and if its really super annoying to do or just not possible at all, then ill probably end up doing that

my deck is less than 2 months old 😄

wait, its november, so 3 months

[cosmic copper]

just sent a support request seeing if I can get a partial refund
probably not super likely but worth a shot. $40 is $40

[stoic beacon]

It's Valve, it's actually quite likely

Ah...looks like modern public school

i just watched a video with 5 ads for adblockers

will ad blocking programs work vs plugins

[sharp cradle]

probably not

[vapid smelt]

damn it i cant put the new steam deck oled screen on my lcd og steamdeck

[ionic abyss]

is it to big or small?

[idle nymph]

anyone know a adblock that isnt detected yet by yt ?

[idle nymph]

sadly

[low rain]

Damn we’re switching internet providers but we’re also downgrading from 1,000mb/s to 800

[ionic abyss]

i feel like im downgrading my keyboard

new keyboards all look the sam

[chrome vector]

I'm still sketched out about OLED burn in anyways. I've heard if you play games with fixed up (like a map/compass) it can burn in on OLED screens. Idk. I just got a Lenovo Legion Go (which the kinks are still being worked out). I would have considered getting that limited edition Steam Deck. At least the Legion Go is a bit more powerful. Idk, there are pros and cons to both in my opinion. Steam's integrated OS is nice, but at the same time that means less compatibility with games both on and off Steam. Legion Go's Windows is nice for compatibility, but using windows on a handheld takes some getting used to....

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po8jAQjvd88 im not worried about burn in

[jade lantern]

I got an ad Linus was in on his own channel

[chrome vector]

Maybe it's better on smaller screens than on monitors? Idk, I know phones have had OLED for a very long time. I've seen burn in on a monitor, but not phones/switch

[crude jasper]

WOLED it's pretty non-issue

QDOLED is where you need to worry about burn-in after using for a long time

[chrome vector]

Yeah, I just hope Micro LED starts coming on the market. I kinda want to skip over OLED entirely.

[crude jasper]

Micro LED is going to stay on large format for awhile

TVs, then large monitors, then laptop screens

[chrome vector]

I mean, funnily enough they started developing it for small displays, like watches and stuff. But yeah, that's probably true. I just hope it starts coming to monitors at some point. Maybe someday I will get an OLED monitor, but I am fine with without it for now. But I do think I am going to wait to upgrade my old Samsung 1080p TV with a Micro LED one.

[idle nymph]

Personally im too broke to afford oled, so i aint getting oled until à while

[cold prism]

I'm probably buying my 3rd oled next year

[fierce moth]

Only oled display I have is the one in my phone

I read this, it doesnt explain how

[gilded forge]

Refund Conditions:

Did not even start or play the game.

Refund only available for 3 days after you bought it. It seems any play time won't get you a refund.

you cant.

[pure olive]

it says under 2 hours

im def under 2 hours

[gilded forge]

well idk then, im just reposting what the internet says. ive never used that shit platform and dont ever plan on it.

[pure olive]

ok i requested the refund

$74 for a shit game

[graceful burrow]

Is the campaign vapid and bad

[pure olive]

I played the first mission and hated it

[gilded forge]

at least it MAKES money for A/B. Epic has been literally unprofitable since launch. but thats what happens when 98.9% of your users only sign up for an account and then claim free games, but let those games sit in their library for years and never actually play them.

[gilded forge]

its 6 hours.

[dreamy rose]

Epic really just has no place making a launcher period

[rustic holly]

I can't wait until the weekend because that's when the WAN show drops

[dreamy rose]

i'm not excited. i wont have internet.

thinkgeek was properly geek at the start.

[polar fern]

Hmm. Trying to figure out which to plug headset in on this board’s audio ports

[manic torrent]

you have me blocked, which is fucking hilarious, but genuinely the front port often has additional amplification for headphones.

A modern audio card has very flexible assignable inputs/outputs, but some have different physical characteristics. Ironically, despite going to all this effort, it's often hard to work this shout out from the lackluster specs.

[fierce moth]

iirc you can still buy a modern soundblaster card

which is rather funny

[sudden bough]

like

sound cards are still usefull

[manic torrent]

not in the same way they used to be though - the system fundamentally works differently

MOST motherboards have sound which is genuinely quite good.

[sudden bough]

:c can't they handle audio for editing?

[manic torrent]

If you're doing pro audio you would simply use a USB audio interface.

[polar fern]

Looking at the guide, seems the front speaker (green) is stereo out

[manic torrent]

.... yes. However using the front audio header would get you better performance, you giant muppet

... also you could more or less plug it in anywhere and reassign it. It's a stupid idea, but don't let that stop you

[polar fern]

What do you mean can’t handle audio for editing @sudden bough

Yall are confusing

[sudden bough]

:L

[polar fern]

What can’t handle audio editing?

[graceful burrow]

Nobody said anything about not handling audio, you should reread chat

[manic torrent]

It's hard when you miss context

[vapid zephyr]

or when you don't care*

[spice pine]

imagine caring

[manic torrent]

or fundamentally don't know what you're doing to start with

[polar fern]

Confusing

[vapid zephyr]

Okay, you see

There's this handy dandy thing in this message

It's called a 'question mark'

He's not sure himself, you see

[polar fern]

Yeh I was asking what they meant

[sudden bough]

neat i've become a learning tool!

[polar fern]

Sound card was mentioned

[graceful burrow]

You're reading it as "they can't handle audio for editing"
Which isn't what they said

[polar fern]

Like … what’s wrong with the onboard audio?

[manic torrent]

nothing.

[polar fern]

No. I was asking for clarification

[fierce moth]

or the fact you're fundimentally not reading the conversation going on

[sudden bough]

i was just curious about sound cards and what their uses are now

[vocal raft]

you can also use a 3.5mm adapater like the apple one that will also be good

[polar fern]

Adapter?! What? Why?!

[fierce moth]

[polar fern]

It’s already 3.5 mm

[manic torrent]

basically "sound cards" used to have drivers which provided low level interfaces, but the modern windows sound infrastructure basically means that a "sound card" is more or less just a clock and a bunch of DACs/ADCs and an internal mixer.

[manic torrent]

... you are confused. The "adapter" you're talking about is a DAC/ADC

and wtf you would want to use it in a desktop I don't know. I mean you CAN, it is just weird.

[vocal raft]

it can be crap, because of motherboard interference etc. and not every motherboard sound is good, a cheap way of getting around any issues or for a sound quality upgrade is using something like a usb c to 3.5mm (you can use a usb a to c). depending on the headphones you may need an amp, as the adapter i mentioned is a dac/amp but the amp won't provide as much power as an external one, so say your headphone needs more power and won't be powered well by adapters/dongles.

[polar fern]

Getting rode nth-100

[manic torrent]

it can be, but the VAST majority of modern motherboards are perfectly cromulent.

[vocal raft]

the dongle is cheap enough and you know your getting good sound.

[manic torrent]

and as I said, front audio often actually HAS an amplifier built in

[vocal raft]

does it?

[manic torrent]

yes

[vocal raft]

i thought front audio just connected to the motherboard

[manic torrent]

... yes. The amp is part of the sound system on the motherboard

[vocal raft]

got it

[manic torrent]

Admittedly this requires knowing nontrivial amounts about the design and implementation of sound cards, which for some reason I have read extensively in recent times. The common public data on this is absolute dog shit.

Motherboard specs be like:
[x] Sound.

[polar fern]

The board I have can do up to 600 ohm headphones

[manic torrent]

.... on the front headphone port.

yep. Exactly what I said, amp for the front header port.

[polar fern]

Hmm maybe front is fine then

[manic torrent]

maybe if you didn't have me blocked, you would have known that 10 minutes ago, you giant fucking 3 year old

[vapid zephyr]

HAHAHA

That came out of nowhere and I love it

[vocal raft]

question, can u return amazon items if you dont like it?

[vapid zephyr]

So why are you posting this again

[manic torrent]

if only there was a way to find this out on amazon

[vapid zephyr]

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GKM69DUUYKQWKWX7

[vocal raft]

ive looked

[polar fern]

@vocal raft check return policy - often differs per seller/item

[vocal raft]

and i cant tell

[vapid zephyr]

Clearly you didn't

[manic torrent]

skill issue

[polar fern]

It’ll be on the product page

Or the seller page

[vocal raft]

the product is returnable

[manic torrent]

Thanks red line, I never would have seen that otherwise

[polar fern]

You go into orders & find the support/return link

On that order

[vocal raft]

don't have the item yet, neither have i bought

its a gift but i dont know if it will be used

yeah i wont risk it il try and probe more tomorrow about it

[polar fern]

If you do Amazon gift they gotta do the return

Gift returns are super smooth to do

[vocal raft]

gift it to the same address im at 😂 since i'd have too anyways

[polar fern]

You may not get a full refund if there’s a gift bag or such, also may be a restocking fee

I knew this board had very good audio features, which is one of the main selling points

[vocal raft]

tbh i wouldnt worry about it

[polar fern]

I just wasn’t sure where to plug the goddamn things in to take advantage of the features

[vocal raft]

see how it goes, just plug it into the front and you should be good

if theirs any static or noise you don't expect then try something like a dongle

[manic torrent]

It's a good thing nobody told you where to plug it in over 30 minutes ago and you had them blocked.

[polar fern]

I should be wearing protection going port to port 🤣

[spice pine]

so true

[polar fern]

The headset I’m planning to use has a splitter in the box so I’m not concerned about quality or any of that

[eager notch]

Guess who has no heat because some dumbass put their backhoe through a gas pipeline?

^^^This fucking guy

[polar fern]

Woah

[manic torrent]

sucks to be you

[spice pine]

number one rule of digging!!! CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!

[manic torrent]

I literally setup my air conditioning today.

[polar fern]

Um do you have a space heater?

[eager notch]

Yeah, im fine

[polar fern]

people can still make mistakes, even if they already have everything marked out, and have the proper people informed about their excavation

[spice pine]

811 baybee

[polar fern]

I was thinking your water heater is going to get very cold, so be careful with that

[manic torrent]

hahahahah, as a firefighter I once attended a busted gas main where they were digging up the whole road and they had severed the gas main. It was probably like 50cm diameter? and the noise was deafening.

[eager notch]

It wasn't me, it was someone else, they hit the main regional line and so something like 150,000 people don't have natural gas right now

[polar fern]

Depends on how long the heat is out of course, and if it’s gas fired

Wat

[clever cape]

Bread?

[manic torrent]

not for you

[clever cape]

😦 🥯

[polar fern]

They’re lucky they didn’t launch themselves into orbit with that volume of gas

[eager notch]

It's gonna be like 3-5 days with no gas

[clever cape]

My C drive apparently has 6 times more data than it's capacity.

[polar fern]

Fak that’s bad

They’ll have to send a pig in

Check the repairs etc

[eager notch]

Well apparently our utility is going out and manually shutting off every single gas valve in the area, it's over 40,000 valves

[polar fern]

Ultrasonic & magnetic testing of the repair

Oh. 😯

[wind pulsar]

Who the fuck are you talking to? ఠ_ఠ

[manic torrent]

Modern gas mains are polymer based - plastic.

[polar fern]

The swan?

[manic torrent]

So what the fuck you are going to achieve with magnets, I don't know.

[polar fern]

You ok there?

[fierce moth]

Dw abt it

[manic torrent]

OR: it's possible you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you're just repeating shit you saw on james bond.

[polar fern]

As someone who used to do emergency preparedness planning for municipalities I kinda know the common procedures for gas line repairs

[eager notch]

How much trouble is the guy who broke the gas line in?

[manic torrent]

somewhere between not a lot and a huge amount, depending on the circumstances.

[polar fern]

If everything was in order & they just bumped it by accident? Not much
