[winged folio]

?

[full fossil]

my lappy's GPU at 70 degree C + when idle

[winged folio]

try cleanin it

[winged folio]

what it just a black screen

[smoky badge]

Nuh uh

[full fossil]

i opened it once and almost managed to kill its motherboard lmao

for cleaning

[winged folio]

turn off the power and clean it

[full fossil]

ohh yea did it all while it was off lol

[winged folio]

it shoukdnt overheat

what are the specs of ur pc

[winged folio]

uh uh

[summer folio]

"Off" Disconnect the battery btw

Or maybe you meant like, you stabbed the motherboard with a screwdriver by misstake

Yeah, can happened to the best of us

It's like the motherboard is attracted to screwdrivers

[fossil frost]

the old AMD sockets that required you to use a lot of force with a thin flat head screwdriver to fit the cooler were the best... 100% designed to have you force a screwdriver right through the socket

[cursive pumice]

happy friday

[fossil frost]

so, i have a choice, pay £120 for some cheap yet nice bookshelf speakers.. or, spend almost twice as much, 3D printing and buying the parts to build my own that will sound half as good

[median idol]

This was during the era when "Athlon rated/approved" PSUs were a thing, no?

[fossil frost]

probably... about 6 months older than linus, and went through all the same "lets cobble together whatever is the most powerful for the least amount of money"... so always had CPUs that were expensive, and PSUs that were effectively a straight wire from the 230v to the motherboard 😄

[limber turret]

I really wanna see Linus tear apart my companies products one day

[maiden rivet]

afternoon

i have returned to this server

[civic wren]

hi!

[opal lynx]

Hello!

[dense bison]

Hi Everybody!

[lilac bear]

hello my name is joe

[slate agate]

and pentium 4

[summer folio]

15A 3.3V not bad not bad , You don't see modern PSU rated for that on the side

or maybe you do, having a hard time finding the sticker image of new PSUs lol

[lilac bear]

modern computers are so bad

[summer folio]

So Real, So true

[turbid flower]

yea who wants instant loading times for games

I wanna wait 5 years

so I can get stuff done before the game is ready

[summer folio]

have a bulldozer cpu with only 1 core dedicated for league client
Put the game on 5400 rpm harddrive
& do a full drive antivirus scan while on the loading screen

Everyone will thank you for being able to take a shower before the game loads in

oh, also have lots of file transfers big & small going on at the same time between your 5400rpm disks

maybe cap your internet speed to 0.1 Mbit for the game client also

[fossil frost]

you have to buy a specific 3.3v only psu now to get that power out of it for the 3.3v

[sour yacht]

it has 3 front and 1 rear stock fans. i have 2 extra case fans that i can add... where would you put those? i'm thinking about 2 and 4

[pallid falcon]

You should repost this with the pfp censored..

[fossil frost]

it sucks, thats why

[pliant leaf]

Except it worked

At the time, no idea if it got updated

[pliant leaf]

I guess

[fossil frost]

it worked, at the time, it worked on the type of spam at the time, it worked on the type of evasion the spammers were using at the time... about 3 months later.. it didnt work anymore... it finds almost nothing now

when you are chasing a problem, you are always a step behind, you are always fighting what the attacker had yesterday, and not what they have today

[paper crane]

oml another tv video?

[gilded quest]

It was entertaining

Better than the cringe case video

[fading belfry]

I just realised that Samsung lied about the "triple camera" setup on my Note10 Lite. Using the x1 and x2 modes use the same sensor. If I cover the censor with my finger on both modes, I can't see anything; the sensor on the bottom right corner is fake.

[sage quiver]

It likely chooses whether to use it depending on lighting conditions

[tired glade]

Oh, right, phones have cameras

[sage quiver]

I know iPhones work that way

[zinc oracle]

btw its sensor not censor

[tired glade]

Isn't note10 6 years old?

[fading belfry]

corrected

[fading belfry]

Tried everything, it's never used

2x just crops from main f1.7 27mm sensor

[tired glade]

Oh, it's 2020 phone

[zinc oracle]

it may be a depth sensor

[tired glade]

Also, it can just start to fail

[fading belfry]

12 MP, f/1.7, 27mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS
12 MP, f/2.4, 52mm (telephoto), 1/3.6", 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS, 2x optical zoom
12 MP, f/2.2, 12mm (ultrawide)

[zinc oracle]

oh

[gilded quest]

2019

[tired glade]

Note 10 lite is January 3 of 2020

[fossil frost]

use something like OpenCamera which lets you specify which lense its using, that way you can check for certain

[gilded quest]

That's a different phone

[tired glade]

So, barely 2020

[fading belfry]

good idea

[zinc oracle]

what about at higher zoom?

[gilded quest]

Note10/10+ are pretty different from Note10 Lite

[zinc oracle]

than 2x

[fading belfry]

same haha

[tired glade]

Is it software?

Try different camera app

[gilded quest]

Does it have a time of flight sensor? It's shady but they can technically count that as a 3rd sensor

[fading belfry]

officially it should be a telephoto sensor

[zinc oracle]

#public-chat message

[gilded quest]

It does have tele

[zinc oracle]

go scroll up and read the convo than talk 🙏

[fading belfry]

OK

MYSTERY SOLVED : software bug

[tired glade]

Got it

[gilded quest]

My 10+ was advertised as a quad camera but one is ToF

[fossil frost]

or... a very shit feature/

[gilded quest]

Although the ToF can do some cool things with special apps

[fading belfry]

i managed to activate it by zooming with fingers once... now I can't anymore

I noticed because when it activated, the framing and colors changed

but now it won't activate again, it stays on the main (wide) or (ultrawide) at 0.5x

[fossil frost]

will likely only activate under very specific lighting conditions, or autofocus conditions

[fading belfry]

that's super weird

[gilded quest]

Tbh I use the 2x fake zoom on my pixel more than the 1x wide mode

[fading belfry]

let's see with open camera

it only sees 2 sensors

ID:2 ultrawide or ID:0 back camera

[fossil frost]

thats really odd..

[zinc oracle]

maybe it's connection is faulty

[paper crane]

samsung wont be faking a camera, thats for sure

[fading belfry]

i'll check the connection when replacing the back cover

in portrait mode, it works so

why not in normal mode... i don't think it's a connection issue

[zinc oracle]

how did you take a picture of your phone 🤔

[paper crane]

2 phones

[gilded quest]

Cyborg

[fossil frost]

OpenCamera uses the camera2api to enumerate each sensor, and instead of giving you all the magic that the normal camera gives you, it lets you choose for yourself.. so if its not seeing them... the sensors are boned.. or smasnug have implemented the sensor drivers horrifically

[fading belfry]

i have no clue

[real ravine]

On all levels - why

[zinc oracle]

its a new camera mode third person

[fading belfry]

I had one S9, someone gave me a second one (took the picture with it), a friend gave me his SE2022 after buying 15 Pro Max, a client gave me the Note10 Pro, the 5S is a rare bird, manufactured 2016; 20 battery cycles, like new condition

[real ravine]

That's pretty cool actually. I tend to sell my phones when I don't use them anymore (if they're sellable)

[gilded quest]

I hoard all my old phones

[fading belfry]

I guess last option, I can see the sensor only in Portrait Mode of Samsung camera app

[real ravine]

tbf I've not had many, I managed to sell my SE 2020 because I kept it in good condition and so far my 13 mini is in good condition

My Android phones before that I was lucky to get through the contract on one phone before it gave up, but they were low to mid range so what do you expect

[sudden gazelle]

Salutations LTT community

[gilded quest]

Well in the 2010s I'd keep my old phone as a backup when I got a new phone. By the next upgrade cycle, the prior backup phone was long out of support and practically worthless

Sadly was the case with android devices

Nowadays I just trade in

[fading belfry]

you did good selling your SE2020, my friend who repairs phones (professionally, she has a big shop) she had a lot of peopel complaining their phone wouldn't charge after a battery swap because the battery connector on the main board gets defective... it seems to be recurring with the SE line, my first SE had the same issue (with original battery)

making the phone crash or shutdown even with a good battery life and charge

[gilded quest]

But we also used to get phones on contract with subsidized pricing

[real ravine]

Yeah it's kinda part of the reason I dipped from Android. That and Apple's prices seemed to come down in comparison to competition on contracts.

[sudden gazelle]

Sorry random question, do you like your 70-300 lens

[gilded quest]

Costco paid me $100 to upgrade to a Note4 lol

[sudden gazelle]

Or should I get a 55-250

[real ravine]

Ahhh, my Dad just got one but I don't intend on changing the battery on it tbh

[real ravine]

That's kinda wild tbh

[gilded quest]

As a range yes, but my particular lens is pretty mid

[real ravine]

I've had my 13 mini for 2 years and I'm intending to keep it for a fair while

[gilded quest]

Phone was $100 on contract, had a special for $100 back in Verizon bill credits, and Costco had a promo for $100 Costco shop card with phone purchase

[real ravine]

It depends what you're wanting to capture I think. A 55 is really good for wider angle stuff but if you're wanting to do more wildlife stuff you're gonna want all the range you can get.

[gilded quest]

FF or aps-c

[sudden gazelle]

I’ve got myself a nifty 50 and a kit 18-55

[sudden gazelle]

Apsc EF

[gilded quest]

55 isn't very wide in crop sensor

[real ravine]

What camera are we talking btw?

[sudden gazelle]

Might inherit a 28-200 but it’s old glass

[sudden gazelle]

EOS 80D

[real ravine]

I've got an old ass T2 (I think?) 400mm lens somewhere which is really funny

[sudden gazelle]

Haha

Wildlife?

[gilded quest]

Honestly 55-250 will make a decent telephoto zoom

And you would then want something much wider for wide angle

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah I’ve tested it out before

I got a cheap kit lens for wide angle, might get a 16mm

[gilded quest]

Good old days

[real ravine]

I've not actually used it yet, it was at a charity shop attached to a Praktica body

[sudden gazelle]

Ah alright

[real ravine]

Although I am in the Highlands so wildlife is a given

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah

[fading belfry]

As you can see in Normal camera mode, 2X; you can't see my finger, it just does a 2x time crop from wide (main) sensor
In Portrait photo mode, 2X; you CAN see my finger, using the actual telephoto sensor. So I guess it's only accessible through Portrait mode, which is a bit sad! Unless we could yeet the fake blur? Bad driver implementation cause Open Camera cannot access it

guess which is real telephoto and which is 2x crop

I guess it's better to use main sensor in crop

[gilded quest]

Idk which is which but I prefer the left

[gilded quest]

I'm guessing left is main sensor?

[fading belfry]

I mean the right one (telephoto module) is slighty more detailed, but the MORE NOISE is awful

[gilded quest]

Based on the color

[fading belfry]

yes

[gilded quest]

Yeah my note10+ had a pretty crappy tele

Much smaller sensor with worse noise and color

[fading belfry]

But I won't be complaining, it's a free phone after all! The main shooter is better than my S9 in auto mode, but my S9 is better in manual for photo, and in 4k videos, too

[wise tundra]

Thinking about putting a GPU in a workstation so I could do some light gaming if I wanted, but the power supply doesn't have any PCIe power connectors and I don't want to replace the power supply as it's a redundant one, so was thinking about either getting and Intel A380 or RX6400. They seem to preform pretty much the same now that the drivers have improved

[brave sky]

hi

[gray fable]

Hi

[hot tartan]

Do you know if you’re able to enable rebar in that workstation system?

[gilded quest]

6400 is 4gb vram and lacks hardware encoding? do you think you will ever need gpu encoding?

[wise tundra]

Probably won't, I highly doubt based on the age.

[wise tundra]

I have an M2 Pro Mac Mini and it has hardware encoding but not AV1 tho

[rough turret]

Double power supply

[hot tartan]

a380 is not the choice, performance is murdered by no rebar. It is more money, but 3050 is stronger and doesnt need any external power

[dreamy thorn]

I did a short soud demo to showcase how good cassettes can sound with subpar equipment and how the cassette = shit thing is a myth, let me know what you think

[wise tundra]

But Nvidia drivers on Linux are mehhhhhh and I use Linux as my daily driver

[dreamy thorn]

to be fair nvidia drivers on linux only suck because they are proprietary otherwise they are okay

nothing beats the convenience of the open source amd drivers being better than their proprietary ones and just part of the kernel lol

[fossil frost]

nvidias linux drivers are quite flakey too.. and when they do go wrong, they go super wrong... theres also several different flavours of the same driver. and you have to guess which works for your OS and card combination 🙂

[wise tundra]

I can't use proprietary drivers cause I run a musl/LLVM distrobution and the open source drivers suck

[tired glade]

Oh

[summer folio]

I don't know why I thought Nvidia drivers worked great for linux now that steam deck exists

There isn't even nvidia in the steam deck

Can you buy & use a steamdeck without a steam account btw?

I don't like to being forced to getting an account just to play a game

Just like those people that cried about PSN

[tired glade]

At some point, they were working pretty good and then Nvidia broke them

[wise tundra]

Huh, Swedish people!

I'm Finlandssvensk

[summer folio]

Not svensk finländare?

[wise tundra]

I am Finnish

[summer folio]

What are åland people, I don't feel åland is "swedish" but they speak swedish

[wise tundra]

Who speaks Swedish

[tired glade]

So,Somi

[wise tundra]

Åland is a mess, that's what it is

But they're Finlandssvensk

[summer folio]

I think you guys(Finland) promised to protect them from russia incase there were war
but they are not allowed to have any military of their own, & noboy is allowed to practice/have military positined there

I wonder what happens if Russia attacks Åland

Don't think they count as NATO

[rustic nimbus]

aaa

[wise tundra]

It's a shorter distance from Åbo to Åland than from Russia so I'm pretty sure we'd get there before the Russians

[wise tundra]

Yup, they do

[summer folio]

Really?

[wise tundra]

Actually

[tired glade]

Oh, Scandinavians doing that thing again

[wise tundra]

I'm not quite sure

[summer folio]

Googled on åland & nato
but google went like "Yes, Island is in NATO"

lol

[tired glade]

He got another one of those experimental TVs?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3KjeNHF8Y0

[summer folio]

I feel like they didn't give it an honest chance

[tired glade]

Yep, another one

[wise tundra]

Åland in general is a mess. Even with the postal stuff, they always exclude Åland from the national shipping things which is confusing

[summer folio]

It's not like I have my spotlights in the roof on, when watching my Plasma TV without anti-glare

[ionic abyss]

i suspect aliexpress did a refund

[tired glade]

They kinda outside of Chinese seller warranty region

Legally speaking,seller can't do much

[summer folio]

Next, they'll review Projectors with all lights on

"Idk man, the blacks are a bid bad"

[ionic abyss]

aliexpress dont need high profile bad pr

[tired glade]

Is it 20k again?

[summer folio]

Is Aliexpress banned in USA? Feel like it should be

Buyt maybe that doesn't affect Canada per say

[tired glade]

EU tried to get it,and even they hadn't found anything

They found something on Temu and that got banned

[summer folio]

You know if they have GMT+1 like Sweden or GMT+2 as Finland time zone?

I like how EU was so close to removing day light saving time all together

But the countries just couldn't agree if it was Summer time or winter time that should stay

[lilac bear]

this is the biggest issue when it comes to it yeah

though people cry about farmers and somehow children

I don't get how DST saves children

[summer folio]

I think it's truly worst for old people

Think I read stats before, about the overdeadlyness on the change time day

[lilac bear]

damn

that's a good argument to throw away DST

[silver sun]

306

[keen notch]

imo it should be winter time

[summer folio]

Well, obviously

[keen notch]

I wish the sunset in the summer was 1 hour earlier

[summer folio]

Sunset in winter is like 14:00 where I live.
22:00 maybe in summer

[keen notch]

idc if sunrise would be at 3:40 AM or sth like that

[summer folio]

I always shut off my lights at like 22-02 summer time, to not get insects indoors(open windows night time)

[keen notch]

this + winter time is better for biological clock

[summer folio]

Weird feeling going to school when it's dark, & getting out of school, it's already dark again

At least better than northest part of sweden.
It never gets daylight there winter time

24/7 dark
& 24/7 light summer time

Hey everyone:)

[flint mountain]

I would love to see a video where they build a PC for the price of non vital organs

"How good of a setup can I get for 5² inches of skin"

[fossil frost]

i would say thats probably skirting the rules on youtube a little bit... saying "this is how much money you would get for X skin, or a kidney" as an educational piece, is one thing, and saying "this is the computer you can build for an amount of money" is also ok... but putting them together. could be classed as encouraging harmful behaviour

that would be my guess anyway

[flint mountain]

Ibget your point, maybe an April 1st kinda upload

I get*

[summer folio]

Guess that's why there is a severe lack of Change PSU fan videos on LTT

But they do spray water on running computers so idk

[fossil frost]

ive been running the same noctua fan in my PSUs as i change PSU, for about 10 years now

[summer folio]

Maybe touching PSU components just more deadly

[summer folio]

Haha, same!

[full fossil]

i haven’t changed my laptop battery for a while

how long until i change it?

[fossil frost]

even on PSUs that have an off mode for the fan too... im pretty sure this current psu hasnt had the fan spin up once

[flint mountain]

I can live without an appendix, kidney, testicle and some skin, I can't live if my heart stops after buying that stuff with my organ monwy

[summer folio]

Oh, I just connected the Noctua fan to the motherboard

[flint mountain]

Money*

[fossil frost]

i fully open up the new psu, and rip the fan out, and replace it with a good one

[summer folio]

Yeah, but you said the PSU didn't have the fan spin up

[fossil frost]

i said im pretty sure it hasnt

[summer folio]

So I just assumed you did some soldering or the likes to connect the fan like the original fan was wired up in

[fossil frost]

not a spec of dust on the intake

[flint mountain]

I scrap old office pc's and frankenstien them into a functioning unit

I found a dell precision tower for free asw

[fossil frost]

funnily enough, most PSU fans are just 3 or 4 pin connectors on the boards, its a quick swap

[flint mountain]

Idk what to do with it tho

[fossil frost]

if you dont mind possible electrocution

[summer folio]

Oh, nice! The PSU I had was soldered cable pretty sure

idk what headset to buy for ps5 🤦‍♂️

[rustic tundra]

conputer

[wispy marsh]

Yuck

[pallid falcon]

Doesn't sony make some

[summer folio]

On PS4 anyone would do, no?
You just plugged in to the hand controller

I connected my whole sound system to my PS4 controller 3,5mm jacket

[onyx zephyr]

ive heard bad reviews

[onyx zephyr]

huh

[summer folio]

Free Bluetooth connection real estate

[summer folio]

There is a 3,5mm jack on the PS4 controller

[onyx zephyr]

yeah ik but like every headset im seeing people talk poorly about

i have no idea which to choose

[summer folio]

Idk, never used mic while gaming

[onyx zephyr]

i need it to speak to friends as thats one of the main reasons im getting the ps5

[summer folio]

Talking is for irl

[onyx zephyr]

lol

but on a serious note if anyone has recommendations id seriously really appreciate it budget like 40-80

[heady flicker]

at that budget any headphone with a microphone will do

[onyx zephyr]

i just want to make sure im getting a decently comfortable headset with a understandable mic that isnt super quiet

[latent granite]

Hi everyone! I'm new here!

[blazing beacon]

headset mics are normally mid but it matters on your use case like ive found that getting headphones without a mic is better and using a stand alone mic instead

but for console thats probably not ideal

hyper x is a good brand

[wispy marsh]

Has anyone gone to india? What is it like there?

[blazing beacon]

hmm u see that's kinda hard to say everyones head and ears are different so whats comfortable to one person wont be for another

[full fossil]

Expensive tech products

[onyx zephyr]

exactly

[onyx zephyr]

ive had the wireless version of those and the mic was extremely quiet on pc

would it be like that on console

[blazing beacon]

i personally use wireless headset because i got tired of wires fraying

that actually ended up being the reason all my headsets would break have a wireless cheap one and its been lasting

[wraith sonnet]

I mean that's one option

I would always suggest removable cables

[blazing beacon]

ive had no problem with wireless myself

and mine isnt even a good brand tbh

[wraith sonnet]

if wireless is an option then it's a great option.

[blazing beacon]

nubwo idk some amazon one but idk how good the mic quality is i dont use it one of my friends said its good my other said its terrible

[wraith sonnet]

people in my life are just super picky and throw hissy fits when I'm using wireless

namely family members

[wispy marsh]

I use speakers when gaming

[blazing beacon]

why?

[wicked dust]

um exscuse me question

[blazing beacon]

hmmm so u only want a mic?

[wraith sonnet]

my dad's a truck driver and can barely hear me to begin with

[wispy marsh]

I have a mic, i'm just a passerby 🌸

[blazing beacon]

oh

[onyx zephyr]

yeah but with it connecting to controller it practically becomes wireless

because you can walk around with it on as long as you carry a small controller

[blazing beacon]

i guess but that does drain the controller faster

[wispy marsh]

your headset also runs off the controller battery

[onyx zephyr]

oh

[blazing beacon]

also the cord can still fray from movement

[onyx zephyr]

what about some turtle beaches some of those are like 70-80

are thise good

[onyx zephyr]

yeah i think thats whats happened to my mouse i need a new one wireless might be the way to go

[blazing beacon]

my experience with turtle beach was BAD they didnt last that long and had bad sound quality but idk if that was just that model

[blazing beacon]

my mouse hasnt had that problem but i do plan to eventually go wireless mouse too

[onyx zephyr]

same

bro im so split on what headset to get 🤦‍♂️

[blazing beacon]

sucks that playstation controllers have unremoveable batteries

they do it so u gotta buy more controllers

[onyx zephyr]

why

how does it work why would you need more that way

i mean it’s rechargeable right

[blazing beacon]

charging while playing can be a pain so u need 2 at least also when the batteries charge is bad u will need to buy a new one instead

[onyx zephyr]

oh

is battery life trash

[blazing beacon]

over time yes

batteries only have so many charge cycles

[onyx zephyr]

how long would you say one brand new controller lasts

[wraith sonnet]

have you considered that because it's out of warranty that replacing the battery means nothing?

[blazing beacon]

my xhox controller i use on pc has 3 rechargeable batteries for far less meaning swapping out a new battery is easy and when the charge becomes bad i can replace them for far far cheaper

it also lets me put the charge loads over 3 diffrent batteries so they last longer

[blazing beacon]

matters on how much u use it

[wraith sonnet]

my og steam controllers are picky with batteries, the amazon basics rechargeables tend to get stuck in them

[onyx zephyr]

i mean ps5 dualshock controller

[blazing beacon]

i bought ones that were made for the xbox 20 bucks for a charger that can charge 2 at a time these batteries are basically 2 small ones combined so i only need 1 at a time and i got 3

[blazing beacon]

matters on use

matters on how often u gotta recharge it

[onyx zephyr]

i mean the controllers arent insanely expensive

[obtuse nova]

A50 X is so good

[blazing beacon]

the battery wil last but over time that 12 hours of charge when fully charged will become like 6

[wraith sonnet]

the "xbox" ones are basically ewaste, rechargeable AA is the only way to make sure that you're future proofed

[onyx zephyr]

youre crazy if you think i got 400 to drop on a headset 😭

[blazing beacon]

ive had mine for years and they are fine

[obtuse nova]

What’s ur budget

[onyx zephyr]

if i had infinite the money the choice would be easy the problem is the budget

[onyx zephyr]

id like to spend like 40-80

[blazing beacon]

relateable mine was like 30 or 40 from a brand ive never heard of

[wraith sonnet]

not really what I meant, more that when a different mold comes that ultimately ruins it you'll have a problem

[blazing beacon]

wym a diffrent mold

[onyx zephyr]

is over charging bad then, like if i let them charge every night

[blazing beacon]

yes lithium batteries dont tend to like it and no its not a myth

[wraith sonnet]

xbox one vs series x controller, while mostly the same the controller is very slightly different

[onyx zephyr]

dude wtf is that deal holy

[blazing beacon]

now they shouldnt "blow up" like some people say but the charging cell will wear out

[obtuse nova]

😎

[blazing beacon]

i have the bluetooth one

[onyx zephyr]

but ive had those before and the mic was quiet on pc @obtuse nova

[wraith sonnet]

bluetooth batteries?

[blazing beacon]

tbh this applies to any device even your phone

[onyx zephyr]

ah thats stressful

[cursive pumice]

happy friday

[blazing beacon]

bluetooth xbox controller

[onyx zephyr]

idk how you found this deal but any alternatives

[wraith sonnet]

also, razer baracuda X is the way I would go tbh, if you buy them with the "extended warranty" and hold on to the packaging you can typically harass the warranty company for a replacement when it does die as long as you are hyper specific about specs

i.e. 50 hours, type c, wireless&bluetooth

[blazing beacon]

if u gotta do it dont sweat it but it will lower the bateries life

[obtuse nova]

Would you go wired

[wraith sonnet]

alternatively, talk with a trucker about wireless headsets they tend to have opinions

[onyx zephyr]

yeah

[wraith sonnet]

sorry baracuda X

[obtuse nova]

this, but similar price
https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-ii

my friend has hyperx, i think its awesome and i hear him loud and clear

[onyx zephyr]

does he have wireless or wired

[karmic flame]

My kids had these, they had them replaced 3 times in 2 years due to the mic breaking each time

[onyx zephyr]

you can buy the mic separately im pretty sure

[wraith sonnet]

I resoldered a pair and it worked but you shouldn't need to do that on a quality headset

[wraith sonnet]

our sponsor mod mic

[onyx zephyr]

because the wired version might have a better mic

[obtuse nova]

i dunno, my friends have wireless

[karmic flame]

It was the connection in the headset. The port the mic pluggs into. Headsets with removable mics are the worst. The point of failure. If u plan on keeping the mic always attached, it may be fine. But if u plan on pulling it out and putting it back in on a regular basis. chances are its gonna break

[obtuse nova]

wish i had a budget like that lmao

[karmic flame]

I got them on sale for 150 Cad

[onyx zephyr]

k thats not too bad

[grim belfry]

This is definitely the best choice :p

[long briar]

I use an aliexpress hard pc case. It's great

zero drop protection but it's super thin, doesn't get dirty and doesn't yellow

[karmic flame]

oK

[long briar]

dumbass

I can't believe a 40 year old is acting this way

[onyx zephyr]

aw i missed it

whatever happened lol

[karmic flame]

anyone else ?

[long briar]

@lilac bear these^

they're actually so good

paid 2.74 for it.

[onyx zephyr]

i feel like im over thinking

i should just pick any headset that has good reputation

[long briar]

what's you budget for a headset?

[formal pumice]

is there a lip that covers the front screen?

[long briar]

no

I use a glass screen protector

[onyx zephyr]

like 40-80

cheaper the better but im aware cheaper is not better

if that makes sense

[long briar]

that's not enough to get any actually good headsets

but HyperX Cloud ii probably your best bet

[long briar]

I've never really been bothered by them

[formal pumice]

looks really sleak tbh

[long briar]

it is

only scratch protection though

still, worth the 3 bucks I paid for it

Use it way more than any other case I have

[formal pumice]

its almost like using it without a case which is what ive been wanting to do but the last time i did...

[lilac bear]

you just need to find one with curved edges and covers the whole screen

[long briar]

They don't exist

[lilac bear]

sometimes actually trial and error

oh just one that fits the screen then

[long briar]

they. Don't. Exist.

it fits the screen part of the screen

[lilac bear]

hmm

[long briar]

you also have to remember I treat the screen protectors like toilet paper

[formal pumice]

🫠

[long briar]

right up to the edge of the panel itself

[long briar]

if I had a completely flat screen then sure I'd do that

I mean if I could get a screen protector that fit like the one on my watch does

This would be great.

You basically can't tell there's a screen protector on it

but its there

[gilded quest]

bro

[formal pumice]

i know 😔

[gilded quest]

do you use it caseless?

[long briar]

He said he tried caseless

seems like he dropped it bottom right corner

[formal pumice]

yeah

craziest thing is that it fell screen forward but the back cracked... and not the screen...

[long briar]

screen forward but it probably hit the frame first

[formal pumice]

and you know that same day i didnt even have the case off for more than a few hours

probably yeah

[gilded quest]

i dont use it with the case off for more than a few minutes

[long briar]

yea my case is scratch protection only, basically no drop protection

[formal pumice]

pain

[long briar]

but it actually fell off my tripod during volleyball yesterday

[formal pumice]

i plan on trading it in though

[long briar]

surprised it didn't break

[formal pumice]

how high O_O

[long briar]

about a metre and a bit

Hey what's a good blue tooth head set for 50 bucks?

[ashen chasm]

Just wait until you see a 50 or 60 year old act out. As an older fellah myself, I can say for certain that the older you get, your brain is still.. you. The body is older, you are hopefully wiser, but your 'character flaws' are largely the same. Some people are more polished.. .but, in large part, however a person acted at 18-20 .... is STILL how they act at 50.. 60.. etc.

You will especially notice this in politicians! 😄

[fossil frost]

Who you are, is usually set in stone by the time you are 30, and then you just stay that way forever... you dont really change.. (theres scientific studies on it, but cant be bothered to look up the sources right now, because im too old and too tired)... its why music taste doesnt really change beyond 30 too, same with hobbies and everything else... your first 30 years are figuring out who you are, every year after that is getting annoyed at everyone else for being different 😄

[torpid crest]

Does anyone have any custom built dust-proof setup?

[sour yacht]

imo only way to have a dust-proof system would be one of those passive cooling cases, using side panels etc. as a heatsink and no fans. even if u have the best dust filter, it'll collect dust on the filter and affect the cooling performance

[summer folio]

13:37!

[sour yacht]

basically a case like this but with no holes on the panels

[charred magnet]

or live in a clean room with zero dust

[sour yacht]

its just too expensive and can't match the performance of active cooling

but this one looks clean

[torpid crest]

Okay guys these are looking nice but I was looking if anyone made some transparent box-shaped container made up of arcylic material maybe?

My idea was to put a air conditioner from the front side

[tired glade]

Those kinda made for situations where you can't use active cooling

[torpid crest]

So I have two builds and I am thinking to make a dust proof container to put both builds inside that container. Front the front we can also have Window Air-Conditioner

I'm from India and you guys don't have any idea how dusty and hot is it in here. It actually killed my Water-Cooled Ryzen Threadripper 3990x which is already out of warranty, leaving me broke.

[austere shale]

I mean, I guess you could make it a sealed box, then do an external water cooling loop and then you’d just have to clean the radiators in the external part?

Just run some quick connects through the sealed box

[austere shale]

Fun fact about the color black and why passive cooling cases are (probably) that color most of the time. The color black absorbs heat faster but it also dissipates heat faster than other colors too

[torpid crest]

I actually want all the components to be air-conditioned so I like to leave water-cooling as it is. My idea is to put both of my cabinets as it is in a air-sealed box with a air-conditioner

I literally don't care about the electricity bill I have to pay extra for another air-condtioner running just for the pc.

[austere shale]

Is your goal just to go sub-ambient?

Just get a chiller. Would be way more energy efficient

Because an actual air conditioner isn’t really gonna work like you want it to

[torpid crest]

right! but also dust free

I actually have no idea how my Ryzen Threadripper just failed in the morning after running fine last night

[torpid crest]

So I am guessing it might be due to hot ambient temperature and maybe some dust?

[austere shale]

Honestly, I feel even a cheap chiller that uses thermoelectric coolers would be more efficient than an air conditioner

[torpid crest]

Temperature was around 95=90 C while rendering and overtime this hot temp might have actually killed it

[austere shale]

I don’t think so ngl. A full blown AC unit? The efficiency just wouldn’t be there

Yes but my understanding is he’s talking about using an AC/heat pump, to cool down the air, to then cool down the system. Or am I misunderstanding

[tired glade]

Are you arguing how physics works?

Cooling with AC your system kinda a thing,if he about that

[quaint salmon]

are hdmi splitters worth getting? wouldn't there be some quality loss if you're splitting the bandwidth in half (which is what I'm assuming is happening)

[austere shale]

I really think they would be. If he’s planning on using an AC to blow cool air through his liquid cooling radiators, vs using a TEC to directly cool the water

[tired glade]

If you are limited to outputs only

[quaint salmon]

like I want one input to two outputs so I can use dual monitors for my steam deck

[tired glade]

Oh,like that,it will be fine,but remember, igpu isn't very strong in Steam deck

[austere shale]

The issue comes if he uses an off the shelf like window AC unit, because chances are it’s not gonna have a good reference to temperature therefore running all the time, which wouldn’t be good for efficiency or the compressor

[quaint salmon]

I'm just using it to remote into my main PC so I think it's fine

[austere shale]

Yes I’m well aware of how all these systems work

And a window ac unit running at full bore constantly can draw upwards of 1500w continuous and 2000w peak startup

If his goal is to go to freezing temperatures then yes an AC would be the way to go, but if he’s just trying to stay close to room/ambient then I wouldn’t see an issue

Yes but depending on the setup I don’t see the efficiency, it’s not gonna be that efficient if dude just blows some cold air through his existing water cooling radiator

It’s just not that efficient to cool with air, even if the air itself it’s cold 🤷‍♂️

Yes but that was MY entire argument the whole time

[torpid crest]

Sorry guys I have to go out but I'm back and what do I miss?

[austere shale]

Again, not about taking it to freezing temps, just keeping the temps more under control, there are tons of things like office water coolers that use TECs and such. It would more so be about adding thermal capacity and keeping thermals under control than going to sub-ambient/freezing

[torpid crest]

By the way, I just want AC to cool down the ambeint temperature and not directly cooling anything in the pc

I am thinking about a air-tight air conditioned box with pcs inside them

[austere shale]

I feel vindicated

[torpid crest]

But I don't need AC, my body is very cold-sensitive

Also, I can't keep my room closed for days because some project takes weeks to render

[tired glade]

Oh, physics talks are still going

[grim belfry]

Most variable compressor systems have a COP of ~4-5

No. Air conditioners exchange energy between spaces

[austere shale]

Yea if you made a box, and put a window ac unit in it, it’ll end up pumping the heat directly into your room, and likely eventually stop pumping heat since the condenser would get too hot

[grim belfry]

Yes, yes you can.

[torpid crest]

okay guys wait a sec

[silk ridge]

Will a micro atx board look too small on a mid tower?

[fossil frost]

thats up to you. and how it looks is irrelevant, how it works is what matters

[torpid crest]

I can't send a video here?

[grim belfry]

Technically still air tight to outside, assuming the unit is designed well and installed correctly

[silk ridge]

Ehh but you know what i mean can you help me out?

[fossil frost]

its not a question anyone other than you can answer...

[echo valley]

hi

[pallid falcon]

Check #welcome

[austere shale]

You’d need something closer to a mini-split for it to be properly air tight

[silk ridge]

No like what i want is a perspective i cant describe it but like, ok to your perspective how does it look

[grim belfry]

Take a proper split system vapour compression air conditioner, there is no exchange of air between inside and outside

[silk ridge]

Also the case is specifically lancool 216

[grim belfry]

Window air conditioners are also heat pumps :)

Your fridge is also a heat pump :)

[torpid crest]

see I posted a picture in #tech-chat-1

[fossil frost]

my perspective is... i dont care how it looks... i didnt buy the PC as a piece of wall art, i bought it to be powerful and do a job

if you are buying a PC for how it looks, you are spending money on the wrong thing

[austere shale]

That’s amazing

[silk ridge]

Your boring af

[grim belfry]

Explain to me how a window air conditioner isn't a heat pump.

[silk ridge]

Spending thousands of dollars on a pc atleast youre gonna care a little bit on looks its not like im asking all white or sum

[nimble pendant]

hi!

[grim belfry]

Thanks :)

[torpid crest]

oh! man I never thought it will go like this

[austere shale]

This is great

[torpid crest]

Can we guys shift to #tech-chat-1 ? I have posted a picture to show my attempt to build

[austere shale]

That setup would work, as long as the condenser stays cool enough

Window units circulate air through the front

In and out, then the condenser is on the back shooting hot air out and away

To passively cool the Inside components, it’s not gonna be air tight but it would keep the box cold

It’s also a plywood box it’s not gonna be air tight ever anyways

The AC is the least of the worries

Well I don’t know I thought he was gonna make it out of metal or something

There were pics of metal pc cases

[torpid crest]

Yeah it was not completely air tight

It was my first attempt

[austere shale]

I didn’t see the box he was trying to make, for all I know he could’ve been in a shop ready to tig up some aluminum or stainless to make an air tight box

[torpid crest]

So I just used what I had that time and this table actually works really well. I sealed the three sides with a thick polythene and one side has the ac

[grim belfry]

It is the internet 😉

There's no need to use that word...

[austere shale]

Idk about you, but when I think air tight I think metal, so that’s where my mind went

[grim belfry]

There is no need to use that word.

[austere shale]

I work with expensive air tight and pressurized robots every day, haven’t seen a plywood one yet but maybe that’s what they’ll make the next model out of

[grim belfry]

Words matter.

[steel marsh]

it will be a tesla plywood one

[austere shale]

Source: the roughly $150k worth of shit on my workbench right now

[grim belfry]

The R word was/is a word used to describe people with mental disabilities, so when you’re insulting someone who did something stupid by comparing them to disabled people, you’re also insulting disabled people by comparing them to someone who did something stupid.

Using it as an insult generally insults all disabled people because it implies that disabled=bad

[austere shale]

⬆️ He’s right, that’s my word to use not yours

[grim belfry]

It's a bit like “That’s so gay”

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585>

[grim belfry]

Yes 🙂

By calling "bad" things gay, you are implying that gay people=bad

[steel marsh]

bit like calling things autistic when your not autistic like you don't get to say that

[tired glade]

I still don't get why this blow up

[pallid falcon]

[grim belfry]

Just, maybe expand your vocabulary just a little more 🙂

Thanks mods :p

[austere shale]

This one is fairly subjective in the gay community, I have a gay buddy I ride motorcycle with and we’ll see some stupid looking bike or car or something and I’ll go “that things gay” and he plays along and says “yea I do like that” but we are also good buddies and I don’t go around saying shit like that around people I don’t know

[fossil frost]

cant belive he was trying to justify what he said, and that it was fine to say...

[vapid moss]

https://tenor.com/view/umpire-youre-out-baseball-yiure-outta-gif-6754792198617333041

[fossil frost]

thats not something that is ok to do with someone you dont know though, you can only do that with your friend, because they are your friend, and there is an implied trust about what you are saying, and they know what you mean, and its pretty much an inside joke between you both

[austere shale]

It’s important to draw a clear distinction between using words to insult somebody and just talkin shit with your buddies, TLDR context matters

[vapid moss]

context and the crowd

[pallid falcon]

i am so gay yes

[gaunt shore]

How am I supposed to come up with a bitwarden password if the normal passwords I come up with are so easily hackable

I should never have started about the ac build

[vapid moss]

Or if you have a S/O send them the password so it’s not on your device

[fossil frost]

a place i used to work, was all-white, except for a single black guy... he and the sales director were best friends outside of work before either of them worked there... a trick they used in the sales office to see how outspoken new hires are (or how racist), was, the sales director would refer to danny (the black guy), as "Token"... he would never say it outside of the office, and danny was in on it... and it was all to see who would say something to him about not saying that, or, who would go a step further than that... it let them very quickly find good guys and people who they would very quickly find an excuse to fire 🙂

[grim belfry]

I think I send this to people about 2 times everyday :p

[austere shale]

That’s clever, I like that

The place I work at is so diverse, like when I was in the field I never knew who was gonna be on my job, I’ve worked with everybody from actual legit murderers to people who came from money but just wanted to learn a work ethic

[smoky badge]

[torpid crest]

So guys what's the conclusion?

Can we make a air-tight air conditioned box?

and will it do the job?

[austere shale]

Probably? But it’s inconclusive if it’s ever gonna work perfectly

[torpid crest]

BTW the picture I sent in the #tech-chat-1 that build works really well, the temperature difference was huge, like more than 10 C

[grim belfry]

There's certainly at least one way to find out - Give it a go :)

[austere shale]

The proper way of doing it would be to redo your water cooling setup to add a chiller with air tight pass throughs

But if you wanna leave your water cooling stuff the best way would be a mini-split

[torpid crest]

I was thinking to build with Acrylic sheets, is that a good idea?

[fossil frost]

my current place is mostly fully remote, so we have people from all sorts of different backgrounds from different countries all over the world

[torpid crest]

I have no idea about the chiller

[austere shale]

Acrylic might be expensive, you could probably go UHMW or Delrin or some other plastic

[lone shadow]

well ESU for windows 10 is here, for non business users and its $30 for the first year

[austere shale]

Something like this, it would cool antifreeze and you’d pipe it like any other water cooling setup

[lone shadow]

whos excited to pay for their computer to not get hacked ?

[gaunt shore]

oh great, time to go change all my passwords, no idea how the last one happened on a infected machine but i hope that never happens again

[torpid crest]

Oh! so it will gonna chill the water which flows in the loop and we don't need radiator or fans at all?

[austere shale]

And then you’d use something like this on the wall of the box to get it inside water tight, probably don’t need 1” but you get the idea

[austere shale]

Correct

The only part that would need cooling (and it should have a built in fan) would be the chiller itself

[torpid crest]

I see

But it might not very useful for my case

[austere shale]

Here’s a simple diagram of an AC unit, the bottom left thing is effectively what would cool the water down, its called the evaporator and that radiator would have coolant lines running next to them to cool them down

[torpid crest]

It can only chill the cpu but in India the ambient temperature is so hot that I even got RAM fried

[austere shale]

A chiller is literally just an AC unit (like the one you have) with the copper pipe ran by the evaporator (the part that gets cold)

So if your AC unit is working fine a chiller will as well

[torpid crest]

Yeah it already seems like an ac

[austere shale]

Plenty of videos on YouTube about how to build them and how they work

[torpid crest]

But I'm also looking for a dust free environment

[austere shale]

Yes the only dust free part would be inside the sealed box

The chiller itself would still unfortunately get dusty since you cannot put it inside the box

[torpid crest]

Yeah I figured that out

[austere shale]

The only true 100% dust free would be some sort of TEC but that’s a rather large and difficult project

[torpid crest]

there is good amount of dust on pc components within a month so it's very frustrating

[austere shale]

Yes but if you use a chiller with quick connect pass throughs into a sealed box the PC components would stay dust free

[torpid crest]

That wouldn't help! I will need ac anyways because the hot temperature created by rams and ssds

Even if I water-cooled rtx3090 which is air cooled right now, it will not gonna work without ac

[austere shale]

You could add an independent radiator inside said sealed box to keep the general inside cool

[torpid crest]

Are these plastics UHMW or Delrin available in transparent?

We want transparent build right? Otherwise it will not look good 😅

[fossil frost]

i thought the whole point was to cool the PC because the PC is massively overheating and dying? looks would be irrelevant to that

[austere shale]

Delrin for sure no, UHMW probably not, there’s lots of plastic options out there tho

[torpid crest]

Well it not about looking good but it's easy to monitor things with transparent

[austere shale]

Could always just do a little window

[fossil frost]

also, dont know if i have missed this or not... but why would you not do a custom water cooled loop, but rather than a radiator that spits hot air into the room, it connects to a heat exchanger that spits the heat outside instead

[austere shale]

That is literally the diagram I just drew

[fossil frost]

i was typing before that came through 😄

[torpid crest]

Ah! Very clever to use chiller to cool down temperature inside sealed box

[austere shale]

And you can use the chilled coolant to then cool the CPU as well

I assume it would still be cold after it exits the first radiator

Once the box itself is cooled down then it should be

[torpid crest]

Alright! I would like to go for the ac setup first since it would be trouble to import chiller to India from China

Also, since my threadripper died I am not willing to spend on chiller but I would like to try the ac setup first

[harsh quartz]

This seems like such a pain in the ass

[sour yacht]

my custom acrylic panel has arrived ^^

[austere shale]

I agree but the man was adamant

[harsh quartz]

What’s custom about it?

[fossil frost]

its cloudy and dirty, with custom dirt?

[sour yacht]

custom cut to size.

[sour yacht]

its the protective film

both sides

[strange elk]

custom film

[torpid crest]

I am looking to build a air-tight dust free box using those acrylic sheets

[sour yacht]

build a computer in refrigerator 😄 already has airtight seal and can cool the insides 😛

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8bhGw4vUFE

you need a high cooling capacity unit tho

[torpid crest]

yeah I have seen that video but ac is more convenient than refrigerator as we don't put inside hot stuff in fridge

ac sucks hot air out from the sealed box and blow in cool air

Hello! Does anyone have any idea about the best cpu cooler for corei7 lga1151 socket?

There are freaking so many of them and I can't figure out which one to go for

[hot thistle]

Can’t go wrong with a peerless assassin

[summer folio]

idk man, I really like Scythe

[lost stratus]

Wsp

Wait

[ashen hare]

Thermalright spirit evo or arctic liquid freezer if u want an aio

[lost stratus]

What are yall doing here

[summer folio]

Oh right, forgot Arctic Cooling also made CPU-coolers & not only GPU coolers

[lost stratus]

@ashen hare come back here you betrayer

[ashen hare]

Bruh ive been here for a while

Ztt is too toxic ngl

[lost stratus]

Fr

But still

Ztt>>

[ashen hare]

And also with one of the best p2p options on the market

[ashen hare]

Honestly

[summer folio]

Peer2Peer? You can fileshare your cooler? Sick!

[ashen hare]

Buildapc discord has the smartest people ive ever met

[lost stratus]

And same for @vital fable @full fossil come back here

[ashen hare]

I meant price to performance but i like this too

[torpid crest]

Something is wrong with Thermalright, it isn't avialable in Indian markets
How about Deepcool ak620?

[hidden fox]

Skibidi

@primal moat

[primal moat]

Lemme see

[ashen hare]

Decent option

[torpid crest]

Alright! I am going for ak620, I don't think if there is any better option? It may not compete with aio cooling but not gonna let me down right?

[winged folio]

🖕 windows im switching to linux

[lost stratus]

No

[hidden fox]

Yes

So manyyyy people from ztt in here

[summer folio]

Daily Reminder have start menu on the side/vertically is optimal, & horizontal is inferior.

[hidden fox]

L

[fossil frost]

taskbar on the bottom, menu on the left... its the only way

[summer folio]

Entire web made for 9:16 phones

vertical space most valuable

[hidden fox]

@lost stratus meow

[lilac bear]

oh yeah then why don't you flip your monitor to make it vertical

[lost stratus]

Go to #tech-chat-1

[winged nova]

bruh

[primal moat]

YALL TALKING SHIT ABOUT ZTT

[lost stratus]

Facts tho

And we are talking shit abt them

[ashen hare]

This is fun to spectate

[primal moat]

crips vs blood but nerd

[ashen hare]

Imma go back to buildapc server

[primal moat]

nerddddddd

[ashen hare]

Theyre mature and civil

Cya ztt and ltt and other letters of the alphabet + tt

[tired glade]

C++ forever,lol

[summer folio]

God I wish, need to rearrange furnitures first so I can tilt my monitors towards a wall or bookshelf first.

[harsh quartz]

Menu center is adaptable. But the taskbar has to be on the bottom. And none of that auto-hiding shit

[full fossil]

hello

[lost stratus]

Come back

To the real ones

[summer folio]

"has" to. Maybe if you have multiple Monitors

[winged folio]

ye wsp nerd

[harsh quartz]

Yes. Has to. Non-negotiable.

[grim belfry]

Okay so on my vertical monitor, the taskbar should be on the vertical?

[full fossil]

Sure

[summer folio]

I obviously meant for 1 monitor in 16;9, start menu should go on the side

[grim belfry]

What about 21:9?

[summer folio]

Ok, even more so?

[grim belfry]

Ew

[summer folio]

21:9 got lots of dead space horizontaly, no?

[grim belfry]

Nope

[summer folio]

You sacrifice your vertikala space with ultra wides Monitor?

if 16:10 monitor, then sure, start menu on bottom.

[grim belfry]

It's perfect

[summer folio]

At least split the screen in two with the Windows key+Right/left key, so your horizontal space becomes more valuable again.

[grim belfry]

Negative space is nice. Also Discord is a little differently set out to most of the things I use

[summer folio]

Half the Discord window chat is just dead space atm

You can hide the right side member bar btw, it only ever shows non chatting staff members

[grim belfry]

I'm not only in the LTT Discord :)

[summer folio]

Hmm, Discord should make the UI option server specific, true true

[winged folio]

i expected more from linus's server

[grim belfry]

For example, Google Drive

[coral tiger]

Hello, I'm buying a new graphics card but what's the difference between models? Which one is better MSI 4070 ti super gaming x slim or Gigabyte 4070 ti super WINDFORCE OC?

[hot tartan]

The cheapest one

[summer folio]

As in, most people don't type that long messages & if they do, you can force line shift.

[summer folio]

I like MSI Gaming, but not small cards or Gigabyte. Good question. The cheapest as above said ig

[coral tiger]

Thanks

[quartz zodiac]

can someone help me i just built my pc and there is a red flashing light for cpu and ram

whats with the wiped msg's

[lilac bear]

I love seeing Cybertrucks getting stuck in sand

for a "multi planet survivable vehicle" it will not last shit on Tatooine

[flint mountain]

lol

[vapid smelt]

You just need 60"

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

[flint mountain]

should i take a photo of my setup?

[vapid smelt]

I guess 80 works to for cinema like

[glass mural]

Just won a nitro giveaway :)

[glass mural]

Yeah sure

I have 65" and it feels too small

When gaming I almost have headaches

I like to think the other way around.
How close should I put my couch to the TV.

The answer is always squezze one table in between.

[harsh quartz]

I’ve never understood that. I like being pretty far back

[summer folio]

I think it's because I find glasses annoying, & the further distance, the more I need to squint my eyes to get focus.

[harsh quartz]

The closer you sit the more you’ll need glasses

there is a REALLY loud owl somewhere outside the back of my house... they really need to shut up

[harsh quartz]

I would suggest popping it with a BB gun but that’s probably not legal

[fossil frost]

at the back of my house, there is my garden, trees (in which i assume the owl is hiding) and then a golf course... if i was to go outside, its so dark, i would hardly be able to see the trees, let alone the owl in them

[harsh quartz]

Windows 11 sucks

[tired glade]

Don't worry, windows 12 will fix everything

[lilac bear]

as someone who is basically part of gen z
the whiplash of seeing Windows 7 nostalgia get outpaced by Windows 10 nostalgia is insane

I still remember people did not like forced updates, cortana, and preinstalled adware, openly required telemetry, application usage data, and account data farming

people used to avoid Windows 10 for that

[sweet forum]

so i want a hall effect keyboard currently already have a keyboard i like but want HE would this keyboard and keycaps be good?

https://www.amazon.com/XVX-Shine-Through-Keycaps-Mechanical/dp/B0CGZR8HKS?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-

[distant wolf]

If all you care about is the rt then it does that

[sweet forum]

i mean i care about everything the price, sound, looks

[distant wolf]

Itll sound ass

If you like the keycaps itll look good

For rt its pretty cheap

[sweet forum]

i have a good keyboard in my opnion already but i wanna take that opportunity to upgrade to HE to get 75 key rather than 60, i find 60 keys just slightly annoying at times

[manic torrent]

Why do you want hall effect?

[distant wolf]

Cuz professional gamer gear 😎

[sweet forum]

rapid trigger for cod and analog for osu

[distant wolf]

What rank r u on osu

[sweet forum]

not good i play more casually but i have like 20 day play time lol

[distant wolf]

Ok you dont need rt

Itll make you worse

[manic torrent]

Fair enough, good reasons. I want to TRY hall effect, but I don't have a sensible use case

[sweet forum]

does it not have null bind too?

and analog effect in racing games

i dont play just one game yk

[distant wolf]

Is that snaptap?

[sweet forum]

eww dont call it that but yea haha

[distant wolf]

Isnt that bannable in cs

[sweet forum]

i dont play cs

[distant wolf]

Idk ab cod

[sweet forum]

never heard of any bans with it and i hate razer products its expensive and dukey

[distant wolf]

But you dont need rt for osu unless youre low 5dig

Imo unless youre semi pro its not gnna make a difference so just get a nice keyboard thats enjoyable to type on

[sweet forum]

its not more like i wanna get it to improve but more of how accurate the keyboard is

[distant wolf]

Wdym how accurate

[sweet forum]

example is racing games to null bind the keyboard just working more like you would expect

[sweet forum]

well its analog

it can detect how much you pressed it down thats how null bind works some of the keyboards same goes for like racing games

analog lets you throttle how much you push the gas

its not just off or on like a regular mech keyboard

honestly would love game to implement how fast your run is how far you press your keyboard like a controller

[distant wolf]

Yeah most games are made for yhe regular mech keyboard tho

[distant wolf]

But why

[sweet forum]

feels better and more natural its why i prefer controller in some games

rather than just full sprint or no input

you have the entire range

[distant wolf]

Nah you got walk and shift to sprint

[sweet forum]

and im hoping games will move toward that

[sweet forum]

😂

[distant wolf]

They wouldnt

Cuz 99.99999% of keyboards arent analogue

[sweet forum]

so they do everything to ruin games with graphics but improving how the games would feel not important

because people hasnt moved on yet

techology is moving forward HE aint $200 now or more for a keyboard

[distant wolf]

Having an actually nice keyboard feels better

Not some niche gimmick tech

[sweet forum]

wouldnt call it a gimmick but sure

[distant wolf]

It is
