[stray trout]

im probably gonna get the phanteks xt pro ultra cause it isnt boxy and any ventilation is better than my current case

[odd linden]

oh he did

[odd linden]

uh you lookin for matx? or just a mid tower?

[stray trout]

matx

[brave brook]

i mean mATX mobo in ATX case will look like this

[odd linden]

oh nvm phanteks xt pro is an atx board

[brave brook]

all the ugly cables

[stray trout]

thats fine

[odd linden]

this is real 😭 its why i got a gpu support bracket that hides them

[brave brook]

LL A3 ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lian-mATX-Compact-Case-Compatible/dp/B0D4VLZXSS?th=1

not the wooden front panel version cause those are above 100 euros

[odd linden]

this is a little extreme no?

[odd linden]

heres my xt view case with matx board

[stray trout]

This is the current case with o lying one vent and somehow an rtx 3070 in there so I mean literally anything better than my current case is better

[brave brook]

nearly every mATX mobo in ATX case looks like that, because bottom connectors need the cables, and holes are few cm away

[odd linden]

@brave brook

idk maybe im jsut out of touch but my old case looked fine iwth an MATX board imo

[odd linden]

what in the world

[brave brook]

quarterly reminder of the most absurd combo 😄

[odd linden]

eugh

[stray trout]

roomy

[rigid fjord]

soviets, naturally, they toss their turrets high

[brave brook]

as i said, most cases with PSU at botom will look like that

[stray trout]

anyone know how to actually cable manage cause, i need help

[odd linden]

i guess maybe it depends on the case, i thought mine looked alright

actually i think its just because my gpu is fat

[rigid fjord]

google jayztwocents, and watch his cable management guide

[brave brook]

so in case you go with mATX case, as i said, ASUS AP201 or Lian Li A3 will be your better options. In case of full ATX case, just pick whatever has mesh front, unless you go with 5090 most cases will do fine

[odd linden]

yea i have a gpu support bracket hidnig my cables now

[brave brook]

i mean Lian Li A3 can look like

[stray trout]

ill probably go with the full atx cause i dont have 5090 kind of money

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/a-1Af96gYVI? why did i get this in my feed, it’s such a stupid, highly unrealistic idea nvm in the end they didn’t probably want to build it, it was just a “warning” that we should take an action before it would go that way

[brave brook]

gibraltar dam is even crazier

[odd linden]

hard to see because its dark but those are my cables with an atx case

wait lemem change my rgb lol

damn my 12vhpwr is almost touching my gpu wtf

[steel umbra]

building such dams creates more pollution therefore may melt the poles ice faster, and if you drain some of the water rest of the world will be flooded/disrupted but primarily no more than two countries at most would actually agree doing that so it’s unrealistic, where they’d dump waste and fish, use cargo ships?

[odd linden]

wtf put it into pcpartpicker 😭

[brave brook]

are those prices from 3 years ago ?

[ashen jay]

nah

i checked yesteday in bc

canada

[brave brook]

Ryzen 5 5600 is like 100 euros tops, it is 3 generations old

[ashen jay]

is it good tho

[brave brook]

no, not in 2025

[odd linden]

how big is your gpu?

[ashen jay]

wich one should i get for budget

which

[rigid fjord]

if that's usd or cad, not really, if that's aud, then fair enough, i would change the mobo and ssd and look at a 650w psu tbh

[brave brook]

you can probably do same with AM5 + lowend 6 core AM5 CPU & DDR5

[brave brook]

and i have no idea where your prices come from. Even on Amazon Canada 5600 is $178

[rigid fjord]

for 1.2k cad, yup it's possible to go am5 i believe

[brave brook]

Ryzen 5 7600 is 249 CAD for example in comparison to your price

[rigid fjord]

put the build on PC part picker's canadian version

[ashen jay]

is this one as good Intel Arc B580. The Best Budget Graphics Card. Intel Arc B580.

[ashen jay]

alr i will look at it

[ashen jay]

wait is that a cpu?

sorry im new to this pc building process

[brave brook]

yes, the point is that your prices said Ryzen 5 5600 for 280 CAD. Meanshile you can get Ryzen 5 7600 for 250 CAD on Amazon. You can build an AM5 system for same budget you had for weirdly overpriced AM4 parts you listed

you probably want to do this in a #1106613567966429224

[ashen jay]

i did

ok thanks i will check amazon

oh cool yeah its way cheaper on amazon

[brave brook]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/, pick Canada in top right, then start picking parts. As i said, you might want to consider Ryzen 5 7600 for example

[blazing onyx]

ok so i have some thinking to do,
Provided my refund for my rx7600 goes through, ill have about 250$ back from that, i need something slightly better than my thermal throttled mobile 4070

[brave brook]

hell, 7600X is $180

[stray trout]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Palit-GamingPro-Ray-Tracing-Graphics-DisplayPort/dp/B08LDS72P2?th=1
idk how big exactly but this is the gpu

[odd linden]

uhhh it looks decently big i think

[blazing onyx]

it runs like, 99% of my games at 40fps minimum, only exceptions are star citizen being CPU limited and monster hunter wilds being, well, monster hunter wilds

[odd linden]

bigger gpus hide smaller matx boards in an atx case better imo

[brave brook]

something like this for start https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TtdJz6 (pick board according to your needs, RAM maybe you prefer different brand, recommending 6000CL30 modules if you can). Rest is up to you

[odd linden]

whats your pc look like?

[brave brook]

mine ? uh, that will take me a while 😄

[odd linden]

is it hidden away or something lol

[brave brook]

you mean picture or list ?

[odd linden]

picture lol

not not the specs

i mean for specs what uh gpu cpu ram?

[brave brook]

i don't have a picture i think and i am not going to take one at 10PM

[odd linden]

i wish i was good at cable management 😔

[latent mica]

I built a pc. Downloaded windows was trying to get the WiFi drivers ( didn't work) now windows is gone and I cany even redownload it

[odd linden]

dang nice

[clear canyon]

Windows is gone?

[latent mica]

When I turn it on there's nothing. No bios no windows. Monitor is saying no signal

[blazing onyx]

thats not windows then

something else must have happened

[latent mica]

I tried downloading WiFi or ethernet drivers from MSI multiple times but nothing worked. When I selected the file, it told me to reboot to continue. Once I rebooted it never let me continue

[odd linden]

did you decide on a case?

[kindred halo]

Cleaned up my motherboard, cpu, and cooler :3

Oddly enough, most of the paste stuck to the cooler

[odd linden]

hm?

[kindred halo]

Most of the thermal paste stuck to the end of the CPU cooler

[odd linden]

oh i read it as plastic instead of paste

[kindred halo]

Oh lol

[agile stag]

grr do NOT buy the temu toe oil

[odd linden]

wtf thats so random

[agile stag]

its wild what they have there

im actually on aliexpress but its a similar experience

[drowsy isle]

900 ish. highest was 1054

[odd linden]

ah so above 100 mp/s

[drowsy isle]

Took less than 3 mins to download a 20gb game. Not bad

[odd linden]

not bad at all

[drowsy isle]

It's consistent 100MB

I need to test my ethernet speeds

[odd linden]

yea mines consistent 65 ish mb/s

[drowsy isle]

bit or byte?

[odd linden]

bytes

so around 530 something i believe mbps

[drowsy isle]

Highest with eterhenet was 850 didn't get tto sc. Highest with wifi was 1150Mbps

[random gyro]

I currently have a ryzen 5 5600x and a rx 6900xt, is the cpu bottlenecking my gpu

[odd linden]

rather weird indeed

[rigid fjord]

no, and a poor question

[drowsy isle]

I think my router just doesn't have a good ethernet port

I'll have to look into it

[random gyro]

my fps is quite different than other people and im on 1080p

I cant even get 240 in r6

[drowsy isle]

What settings are you running? Do you have any apps in the background that could also be reducing performance?

[random gyro]

no, only opera, discord, and r6

and then the amd software

[rigid fjord]

tbf, you should be playing at 1440p with that combo

[random gyro]

on the r6 in game reader it says 180-200 fps, thats real bad

its worse than when I had a 1080ti and a i3 12100f

[abstract wigeon]

shhh

[fallen sky]

I hate to inform you about my sad news

I got a job

[ashen jay]

How is that sad

[rigid fjord]

it's not "real bad" just means there's some other things you can do to make that better, like making sure everything is up to date, i.e chipset drivers, gpu drivers, bios, also ensuring that the ram's xmp profile is enambled especially as you should be using at least 3200 cl16 ram with a 5600x

[odd linden]

job means money
money means gambling
gambling means hitting rock bottom

[random gyro]

speed is at 2667, xmp is not enabled, I tried to find out last night but asrock bios is so much different

[rigid fjord]

also ontop of this, 5600x > 12100f in performance by quite a good chunk

[odd linden]

turn on xmp

[random gyro]

im gonna go turn on xmp rq

[rigid fjord]

tuning pbo could help as well

[fallen sky]

My unemployed days of doing nothing and chilling are over

[plain cypress]

i miss my laid off summer

[random gyro]

What is pbo? 💔

[plain cypress]

great times

[rigid fjord]

precision boost overdrive

[fallen sky]

Precision boost overdrive

cpu go 💨

[random gyro]

I just gotta upgrade my ram ngl I didn’t realize it was so slow 💔

[fallen sky]

What is it

[random gyro]

2933

[rigid fjord]

my settings for my r5 5600x

[fallen sky]

Holy shit

[random gyro]

Didn’t even know that was made

[odd linden]

thats normal for ddr4 speeds no?

[bleak ledge]

Someone found a morally questionable infinite money glitch, lol

Reselling free open-source software

[fallen sky]

I remember my days of 3xxx MHz RAM

now I have 6000

[random gyro]

I could copy this?

[rigid fjord]

2933 exists though i suspect the bios isn't up to date, which can be shown if it's a 3000/3200 kit that won't run at it's advertised speed

[rigid fjord]

the settings you could

[odd linden]

uhhh i know someone who had issues with xmp, i told him to update his bios (he was legit on the very first bios update for his board or something) and it fixed his xmp

[rigid fjord]

do us a favour and download hwinfo and send a screenshot of the suammary page

[random gyro]

Ok

[rigid fjord]

doesn't always fix it, if it's some corsair lpx's tbh

[odd linden]

yea i know

[rigid fjord]

hell just ddr4 vengeance in in general from corsair sucks

[odd linden]

im so used to chrome i hit win key and type chrome and hit enter

[odd linden]

forgetting chrome bugs out annoyingly on my pc

[random gyro]

I bought this pc for like 650

[rigid fjord]

win key + shift + s, and then take a screenshot of it and directly post to discord, you don't use your phone to take a pic of hwinfo

[random gyro]

Oh I got you mb

[rigid fjord]

bios is out of date so that needs to be updated

[summer token]

Anyone know a good gpu for a ryzen 5 3400g

[random gyro]

Do I need my harddrive for that?

[summer token]

Idc about budget aslong as it doesnt bottle neck

[hidden patio]

Should i go am4 or am5 with 500 $ not considering gpu

[rigid fjord]

not necessarily

[rigid fjord]

go am4

[random gyro]

Which should I use?

[odd linden]

idk how to actually update bios myself lol

[random gyro]

Just the newest one?

[odd linden]

all i did was a bios flash whern i first got my motherboards

[rigid fjord]

latest bios for your mobo as it is

[kindred halo]

(Assuming they're US) - MicroCenter has pretty good AM5 bundles which would make entering into the AM5 platform quite easy

[rigid fjord]

bios flash = bios update

[kindred halo]

As cheap as 249.99 iirc

[odd linden]

i meant if you didnt have bios flash feature on your motherboard

[rigid fjord]

also assuming they're less than an hour away from one

[kindred halo]

MicroCenter doesn't deliver?

That's odd

I heard somewhere that they did

[rigid fjord]

you can put the bios file on your main drive, then enter the bios -> internal bios flashing option -> get the bios from your main drive

[odd linden]

ohh i see

[rigid fjord]

they do, but most want to pick it up straight away with them

[kindred halo]

Ah.

[hidden patio]

If i go with a 7500f or a 5600x is the stock cooler good

[random gyro]

this look good?

[rigid fjord]

yes, it'll be fine

[rigid fjord]

unzip it, and if it requires renaming you follow the instructions asrock gives for it

[kindred halo]

Good enough

[random gyro]

It’s instant flashing it rn

[rigid fjord]

okies, you will have to redo any previously done settings due to the bios update

[random gyro]

I haven’t did any settings except secure boot on for valorant

[rigid fjord]

asus has the easiest way to do bios updates, and luckily they let you save your settings as a profile to a usb thunb drive so you can quickly restore the settings from that

[odd linden]

i see

[rigid fjord]

you'll most likely have to redo that

[random gyro]

Should I use amds software to auto over clock my cpu and gpu?

[rigid fjord]

nope

cpu tuning is done in the bios, and that's done via pbo

the gpu can be tuned in adrenalin but due to how tuned amd radeons are, you're not really getting any massive increases

[odd linden]

did you turn on xmp?

[buoyant vapor]

Finally getting rid of tiny arse desk

[random gyro]

Doing it rn after I updated bios

[odd linden]

oh okay

[odd linden]

i wish i had a bigger desk

[rigid fjord]

@odd linden minor OC and tuning on my system

[buoyant vapor]

I got a good desk tbf £40 for 150 cm and 120 L shaped

[odd linden]

mmm i havnet touched over clocking

[buoyant vapor]

Better than this shite

[odd linden]

idk how deep mine is, but its about slightly shorter than 4 g502x plus long

so like maybe 3.75 g502x plus deep

[rigid fjord]

most don't due to it being minimal gains, mine is more about stability

[odd linden]

yea, i turned off pbo myself

[rigid fjord]

by default pbo is never turnt on, you have to manually enable it

[odd linden]

mb, lemme rephrase, i had pbo turned on but disabled it

[random gyro]

How do I enable pbo,

[south arrow]

A quick video demo on yt with your motherboard "how to turn on pbo for _____ motherboard" should pop up a visual myte easier then breaking down

[burnt cliff]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1401311715781771264

[rigid fjord]

it'll be on the avanced mode in the bios, and from any tweaker setting tab

[ruby fox]

should i get a sag bracket for a 5060 or get the ryzen 7 5700
i have a 5600 rn

[random gyro]

Advanced/ AMD over clocking?

[odd linden]

yea

[south arrow]

If you'd like to

[odd linden]

every motherbaord has differnet bios, we dont know for yours, but for my msi motehrabord one, it was under overclock yes

[rigid fjord]

do not go for a 5700, 5700x sure, 5700x3d sure but never a 5700

5700 = 5700g minus it's igpu, performs worser than a 12100f

[south arrow]

What cpu?

[rigid fjord]

so you want pbo limit enabled/ manual so you can set tdc,edc and ppt

[random gyro]

ryzen 5 5600x

[rigid fjord]

5600x like i have

[south arrow]

Very nice

[iron glen]

heyo

[south arrow]

Heya browniess

[rigid fjord]

you can look up the pic i sent before or i can send it again if you want

[random gyro]

That’s your settings

It’s just missing some things you got

[ruby fox]

why not 5700 tho

[random gyro]

The SOC limits I don’t have

[rigid fjord]

what mine is set at is different to what you have on there

like scalar is to high for a 5600x

[south arrow]

Thats ok still same same for the soc settings missing as raukos is 0

[rigid fjord]

and ppt is to much

[rigid fjord]

it's a 5700g minus it's igpu, literally worser than a 12100f and 5600

[rigid fjord]

no soc limits here in pbo

[random gyro]

I was on the wrong image 💔💔

[ruby fox]

ill stick to the 5600 then yeah

[rigid fjord]

very wise

[random gyro]

It won’t let me do 300 max cpu boost clock override

[rigid fjord]

200 mhz is fine

[random gyro]

It says invalid input, auto adjusted

[rigid fjord]

realistically for most, 200mhz is the max extra boost on pbo

[random gyro]

Alr I’m done

[rigid fjord]

perfect, you can tweak it even more so later if you like, and on top of that, you just need to re-enable xmp for ram and secure boot

[random gyro]

My ram with Xmp still only goes to 2933

[rigid fjord]

that's then on the ram itself sadly

[analog island]

upgrade. gpu is gonna be dealt with later

[random gyro]

You want a pc with that cpu?

[rigid fjord]

you may have an extra boost to performance, but 3200 cl16/3600 c/18 or even better if you get 3600 cl16 ram tbh

[obtuse umbra]

Hi there guys and girls and others 🤗🤗🤗

[rigid fjord]

pretty much maxing out what you can from that gpu

[analog island]

for now

[random gyro]

I got my pc for 650, is that a good deal

[analog island]

my old one is a amd 8350 ddr3 8gb 933mhz so, it's a nice jump

[ashen hearth]

Might have found the best deal so far for a 5070TI 😳 Zotac Solid Core OC for less than 700€

[rigid fjord]

why would i have a capture card?

also not rich, just comfortable

[odd linden]

5070 super is gonna have 18 gb vram?

[proven shoal]

bro was me a year ago lol

i had a 7800x3d with a hd 7850

[delicate wedge]

I’m such a shitty painter

[proven shoal]

are you painting with a brush or roller

[delicate wedge]

Brush

I think Dennis can do a better job than me

[rigid fjord]

that's definitely been brushed on

[mint umbra]

Are foldables the future for phones

[proven shoal]

yea thought so

[proven shoal]

get a roller asap

[mint umbra]

I wanted one untill I saw the cooked aspect ratio

so you get black bars watching videos

[left valley]

No it's just a gimmick and maybe a business notes thing

[rigid fjord]

brush only the inner corners of a wall and across the skirting board/base board tbh, then roller the rest with a 12" roller as minimum

[mint umbra]

I pretty good for multi tasking from what ive seen

[proven shoal]

i get black bars while watching yt videos on my s23u, but when the screen is unfolded, maybe those black bars are annoying

[mint umbra]

are much worse on the fold

[proven shoal]

but one good thing if that you can use one side as a stand so you can watch videos without holding the phone

but then how many times are you going to do that

[mint umbra]

could watch a video whiles scrolling on bottom screen

[proven shoal]

i broke the screen on my s23u , tempted to buy the fold7 but i think its too much to spend on a phone

it did look nice when i went to a store to look at it

[mint umbra]

I got one plus 13

Kinda regret it ngl

[proven shoal]

how come?

[mint umbra]

I miss notifcations alot on this phone compared to my samsung

[proven shoal]

ah

oneplus does have an aggressive app killer

[mint umbra]

I feel like when Im vibrate it doesnt vibrate for long enough

[proven shoal]

i had a oneplus 6 before

loved the phone, perfect shape imo

[mint umbra]

compared to samsung it would vibrate for a couple of seceonds

[proven shoal]

screen decided to kill itself

[mint umbra]

with op13 vibrates for like .5 sec so I barely notice it

[proven shoal]

isnt there an option to increase it or something

[mint umbra]

I can inrease intensity but not length of vibration

[stray trout]

Yeah the first one you suggested

[proven shoal]

ah

[mint umbra]

Will prob get a pixel or something

after im done with this one

[proven shoal]

pixel does look interesting

maybe the 10 might be my next phone 👀

[azure topaz]

you can but its not super easy

most bioses now adays at least if theyre on real boards have a sccreenshot +save to usb option

do your own research

ps4 to pc applications are pretty niche

[proven shoal]

ps5*

[azure topaz]

it started out on ps4

[rigid fjord]

you can, it saves it as a bmp (bitmap) file, and only on to a usb thumb drive

[proven shoal]

afaik dualsense has better support

[azure topaz]

im basically saying to try a couple and see which one you like more beause theres a lot of people who use those softwares but at the same time not really

scale wise theres probably not enough playstation nerds in the LTT server to give you any useful info on the million of controller adapting apps

[grizzled frost]

I've had better luck with the PS5 controller on PC than the PS4 controller

i actually bought a ps5 controller just for use on PC, i don't own a PS5

Any game that works better on controller, i use the PS5 controller

I've played like 100 hours of elden ring on the PS4 controller, and 100 hours on the PS5 controller, and i've had less issues with the PS5 controller

[jaunty apex]

Ds4windows yeah. Steam supports most things already and games have native support so.I usually let steam handle input. I used DS4Windows mainly for gyro because it was easier to set up imo

[grizzled frost]

very

[jaunty apex]

Avoid DSX

[grizzled frost]

I do like the ps4 controller, but god damn is the PS5 controller a work of art comfort wise

I still have a ps3 upstairs as a blueray player, and god those controllers suck

so angular in the worst way possible

[south arrow]

Watching tmnt 3 rn on the ps4 with the kiddos

[grizzled frost]

Woman of taste i see

[jaunty apex]

Ds4 helped but the triggers still sucked. And more cramped still

[south arrow]

Lmao broo I'm the guy in this pic but yuss

I've been here forever iroh should know these things xD

[wild remnant]

Thats my husband

[grizzled frost]

wait what

[jaunty apex]

Yeah I mean that's cool but having used it it just got worse over time. Modding is the only feature worth getting it for and even then idk. It's slow, buggy and takes up a ton of resources

[wild remnant]

Thought you were talking to a chick this whole time

[grizzled frost]

Yes, very much so

[wild remnant]

[jaunty apex]

Idek if they have gyro support yet, V3 didn't ship with it

[wild remnant]

Most handsome woman I've ever seen

[jaunty apex]

Uninstalling was a bitch too

[grizzled frost]

the girl was more prominent in the picture so i assumed it was her account

The ps5 controller is actually quite similar to an xbox controller ergonomics wise

a lot more rounded than even the ps4 controller

[jaunty apex]

I liked 360, xb1 was great, dualsense feels almost as good, but it's got the AT

Yeah and closed source compared to DS4W. V1 is on github but no modding support, or any other support

[grizzled frost]

Go to a store that has game demos, and feel the PS5 controller for a bit, trust me, it's magical

[south arrow]

We will have to take a new one soons

[grizzled frost]

thank you for my very confused self

Ah that's unfortunate, got any friends with one?

[jaunty apex]

I've been an Xbox 1 controller user since 2016, I switched to dialer we probably a year after the PS5 launched and haven't gone back. I ended up replacing the sticks with TMR ones, but if you can't solder I recommend a repair shop for that, to remedy the drift.

[grizzled frost]

I'm disinclined to invest 60usd into something i haven't personally confirmed is comfortable

[jaunty apex]

Hell if you have money problems you might do better with an 8bitdo controller or something

[grizzled frost]

The PS5 controller is quite the investment, i'll give you that

time to enjoy an internet cafe?

Treat yourself, and find out if you like the PS5 controller

[jaunty apex]

I'm picky, I don't like the left stick being at the bottom still but I bear it for everything else

[grizzled frost]

I'm far more used to playstation style controllers, so i really don't mind it

Last xbox i owned was the xbox360

[jaunty apex]

I used to play PS2, but I went to 360 then the xb1

Worth it lmao

[grizzled frost]

I had both an xbox 360 and PS3 when i was younger, then upgraded to a PS4, then got a couple PCs

I still use my PS4 from time to time for games i only own on that

[south arrow]

Ps4 has some bangers, great gameplay

[bitter crater]

the xbox series x controller is bit bad quality, kinda regret buying one for pc

[grizzled frost]

Mainly GoW and GoW:R

ik you can get them on PC now, but at the time they were exclusives and i don't feel like rebuying them

Went to PC in 2019. I mean it was a desire for a long time but only had a craptop in 2016 onward

[proven shoal]

i sold my ps4 controllers and bought gamesirs

[grizzled frost]

Solid PC, you could do some manually memory OC to get to 6000mt/s pretty easily

[proven shoal]

nice controllers tbf

[grizzled frost]

you'd see a fair bit of improvement over 4800mt/s

[solemn pewter]

Is it worth it to have a separate boot drive? I have a 1TB SSD from 2017 that I was thinking of using as a boot drive, and a 2TB 990 Evo that I was going to throw games and other items on.

[grizzled frost]

Not really

[ebon marlin]

got a gamesir to replace my xbox elite 2 controller

[jaunty apex]

Can be? For organization sake but otherwise meh

[ebon marlin]

the elite 2 is nice but too heavy the gamesir feels better in hand due to it's lightness

[grizzled frost]

I only have one drive in my primary desktop being a 4tb nvme m.2 and i've had no issues

[proven shoal]

in case you want to reinstall windows, it will save time reinstalling

[grizzled frost]

How often do yall reinstall windows

[proven shoal]

which gamesir

[jaunty apex]

Well.. Never really now

[proven shoal]

i have a 4tb nvme which i repartitions

[proven shoal]

when i get a new/better drive

[grizzled frost]

how often is that

[proven shoal]

once every few years 🤣

[grizzled frost]

I have that exact controller sitting on my desk rn

[bitter crater]

i did it a couple of days ago, to fix some issues, didnt work tho 🙁

[peak knot]

Ya know karma is a beautiful thing, I volunteered today at an electronics recycling drive and the deal was volunteers got first dibs on anything turned it and all else gets recycled properly, I walked out today with a MacBook Air m3 13” in working condition and a 550VA battery backup with a couple CPUs (7700 and 4590) and a couple sticks of sdram

[proven shoal]

or i fuck up my dual boot on my laptop

[jaunty apex]

I wanted that 50th anniversary controller so bad, I still plan on getting a shell of it at least

[proven shoal]

you are not the only one

[grizzled frost]

I was just using 2011 or earlier 2.5in HDDs because thats all i had laying around

[jaunty apex]

My first hard drive lasted like 3 or 4 years

[solemn pewter]

That was the only real advantage I could think of anyways. Maybe I'll just throw them both in there and install everything I can onto the larger, newer, faster one, and then have the other one for leftover space

[proven shoal]

i have a hard drive from the 00s

[solemn pewter]

Which I'm drowning in at this point lol. Storage has gotten so cheap...

[grizzled frost]

5 out of 6 drives didn't work

[jaunty apex]

Same, a few ide ones

[grizzled frost]

1 did tho!, and that's all i needed

[ebon marlin]

T4 Cyclone Pro

Got it for free with my temu refund method

[proven shoal]

i have supernovas

[rigid fjord]

i probably have some hdd's older than most of you

[grizzled frost]

as in fraud...?

[solemn pewter]

Well, wish me luck, going from an 8700k to a 9800x3D. Really looking forward to this.

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[charred kiln]

allo

[grizzled frost]

Lets not encourage fraud...

[proven shoal]

oh i had an older pc with a core 2 duo. i think my dad bought it in 00/01, before i was born

[ebon marlin]

It's been patched eitherway ages ago

[proven shoal]

i bought a 8tb hard a few months ago

still havent put anything in there

[grizzled frost]

Soon i'll update my NAS to 3x14tb drives

[ebon marlin]

Been doing stuff like this since like I was in 7th grade with money laundering a startup company

[proven shoal]

enjoy

[proven shoal]

teach me the ways

[grizzled frost]

Rn my NAS has a 256gb sata ssd for boot, and 3x4tb HDDs

(i tried an NVME M.2 for boot, but my mobo bios doesn't like UEFI boot)

[ebon marlin]

That got patched too since the company changed their whole business

I'm not broke everything is in flash memory

Eitherway only thing you'll find is games in there

[proven shoal]

what were you money laundering anyways

i am curious

[ebon marlin]

Money

[grizzled frost]

also just cracked 200WUs completed

[proven shoal]

just straight up stealing money 🤔

[ebon marlin]

It's not really money laundering more like fraud tbh

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

[proven shoal]

how come lol

[ebon marlin]

Was able to scam a startup for like 1-2k with a friend

[proven shoal]

what was the startup about

[grizzled frost]

Yes you can host a pretty good MC server on that

[proven shoal]

sounds fun!

[grizzled frost]

i had a MC server running on a 8700k and 16gb of ddr4 ram not that long ago, and it ran quite well

[ebon marlin]

Basically you could pay others to do ur homework but we signed up as a teacher to do homework and we just took advantage of the customers newcomer bonus by paying ourselves with it

[grizzled frost]

"optimal" is gonna depend on what you find to be a nice compromise of quality and performance

[proven shoal]

oh thats smart

[ebon marlin]

Glad I did that cuz they replaced all teachers and workers there with AI

[proven shoal]

you post the homework and pay your friend to do it. Since you were a new user, there was some kind of discount, so you paid less than what they gave you

[ebon marlin]

Nah like they gave you like 10-20 bucks free money for each account and you could just make multiple accounts easily since they didn't verify anything

[odd linden]

i wish this was the case, i use distant horizon, a mod to see really far

but the chunks dont load until youve actually gone over them

[proven shoal]

oh nice

[odd linden]

you can, it just doesnt load chunks automatically

[grizzled frost]

decentralized chunk rendering kinda sucks

[odd linden]

yea, to get chunks you gotta walk over to them

bobby is the same thing

i use both bobby and distant horizon on servers

[south arrow]

[odd linden]

bobby to by pass the 10 render limit put in many servers, and then i run like 1000 chunks in distant horizon or something

[south arrow]

Well you know xD

[whole garden]

Wormm

[grizzled frost]

Yeah that's not how businesses work

If mojang stopped adding new features they'd go out of business

[odd linden]

you know i kinda want an atx motherboard

[grizzled frost]

Because adding new features leads to more sales, even if they're features people don't really ever use, they also get more media attention

[whole garden]

[grizzled frost]

The existing base doesn't really make minecraft money

Like i'm in no way saying you're wrong, i strongly agree with you, it just doesn't make sense as a business point of view

[odd linden]

i think leaving minecraft basic is fine

[merry dagger]

I installed bluetooth and wifi drivers for my asus mobo on win11, but wifi is not present and bluetooth has error 43 in device manager...

Is there any way to fix it?

[odd linden]

its how minecraft is and has always been

polishing features is left to modders

[grizzled frost]

How does the existing base make minecraft money exactly

[odd linden]

you guys remember the minecraft trailer

its the most nostalgic video for me

Gay quest 2

I've had my Quest 2 collecting dust for like 2 or 3 years now

[odd linden]

im pretty sure most people want minecraft to stay minecraft without changing/polishing stuff

what exactly do you mean by polish though?

[ebon marlin]

This shouldn't be a problem since you can literally choose what version to play on

You can play on the older versions if you want to nothing's stopping you

[odd linden]

old versions dont get new features

[ebon marlin]

There's definitely mods for that

[odd linden]

i mean yea

imaybe i misunderstood what justrun means by polishing older features

[ebon marlin]

Game is absolute ass without mods

[odd linden]

but i just like how minecraft older og stuff hasnt changed much in general, it feels like the same game but with added new features. and anything needed to change for older mechanics ect modders fix

i say fix but more like change

id be fine playing mc vanilla as just minecraft but thats my opinion

[ebon marlin]

It gets boring pretty quick

[odd linden]

it does

well actually, i dont really care for minecraft unless its with friends on a server

all mods i use are quality of life mods, i dont really like modded content in games

i never played skyrim modded, nor terraria

[ebon marlin]

Game has been out for over a decade so there's nothing exciting in basic java other than that one once a year new feature

I have like 500-600 hours on Stardew Valley on PC + Switch combined and mods help make it exciting and fun again after playing through it normally

[odd linden]

as long as they dont completely overhaul then yea

[odd linden]

only game i mod is bonelab 😭

but that game is made for modded content

[ebon marlin]

There's no ending in stardew so I just play until I've gotten far enough that I've accomplished everything that it gets boring to play

[odd linden]

yea

bonelab you just play through the not so long story campaign

[ebon marlin]

Modding is great for 2nd reruns of games to freshen the gameplay up

[odd linden]

and then aftee that you just download mods and mess around

[ebon marlin]

rn im back on vanilla stardew to 100% to add more games to my 100% list

[odd linden]

yea, no i agree they can go back and polish, im just tired for some reason i thoufht you meant overhaul stuff

[ebon marlin]

yumyum

[odd linden]

i never look at achievements ngl

[ebon marlin]

mmmm games

all 424 of those games are paid games aswell

https://tenor.com/view/reddit-reddit-gold-kind-stranger-slot-machine-gif-9286172767555917428

[odd linden]

i just dont like modded gameplaay for some reason

on mc everything i have is just qol

no actual gameplay content mod

[ebon marlin]

probably just haven't found any mods that you like yet

[odd linden]

nahh, its because i feel weird about it for some reason thats all

cant explain the feeling

[ebon marlin]

If I play Minecraft I play with my friends and we get a modpack which we just grind for like 12hrs a day everyday for a week until we get burnout

[odd linden]

i never finished skyrim

i struggle hard to play singleplayer games

it gets so boring and lonely

im on chapter four for rdr

havent finished it yet

[ebon marlin]

I was like you once but I started playing games that I actually enjoy and now prefer them over multiplayer games

[odd linden]

and witcher 3 i started but didnt get far, and then uninstalled

[ebon marlin]

I started off with Days Gone which had everything I enjoy and then got on to Resident Evils

[odd linden]

i mean there definitely are, cyberpunk i started a second playthrough and i really like it

[ebon marlin]

Now I'm playing the Yakuza franchise which Lowkey changed my life

[odd linden]

especially going through the dlc

[ebon marlin]

Yakuza 0 was life changing

[odd linden]

but im also always sat in a discord call streaming my screen basically at all times when my pc is on

and having friends and people watch and stuff helps me get through singleplayer games

[solemn pewter]

Any tips on popping the GPU lock behind these absurd monsters that GPUs are today lol? I tried a pencil with an eraser, but can't apply enough pressure without slipping

idk if ive ever listened to a kanye song besides runaway

thats yuckyy

[ebon marlin]

I used to listen to rap mostly young thug, Migos, rich the kid just Atlanta rap but my music taste interest switched to vocaloids like last year

[odd linden]

the only “rap” i listen to is twenty one pilots and linkin park lol

unless you count the few other one off eminem songs

[ebon marlin]

Aren't they classed as pop/pop rock

[odd linden]

they rap in it, but thats how little i listen to rap

linkin park has just a bunch of different genres

but mainly their metal stuff

[ebon marlin]

Linkin Park is Nu metal and 21 pilots is alt rock/pop rock

[odd linden]

yea

i have z flip 2020 and it's more of a gimmick now

good talking point though ;D

[jovial swan]

Ive really been eyeing a flipper phone but i want something atleast a bit sturdy, so was thinking the moto, since its got decent specs and a actually decent battery

[ebon marlin]

Don't get flip's or folds by samsung

If you want flip's or foldables get the Chinese ones

[plush wren]

While I can't speak to the RAZR 60 Ultra, I have the 50 Ultra (aka RAZR Plus 2024) and haven't had problems yet. I quite like that the outside screen let's me run any apps I want, too. But yeah, I wouldn't buy a flip or folding phone if I worked in construction or an industry where I'm outside all the time.

I just bought a used quest 2 and it's got a bright pixel in the same spot on both screens, anyone know what it might be?

[ebon marlin]

Also the OnePlus Nord 5 is a downgrade from the 12R

Although understandable if you don't like the curved display

Only reason why I switched from 12R to 13R

[jovial swan]

I have nearly 3900 hours across 2 accs on that game lom

i was thinking more of a precision or xps

[south arrow]

I also need a laptop once I payoff some cc investments

[jovial swan]

Yeah, only thing positive is that LYT700 sensor, i am a Astrophotography nerd so i need good camera

[plush wren]

im not sure if I want to spend money on one tho

Feeeels I'm a 2012 hp rn no battery just roughing it straight power cable lol

[plush wren]

The 13R also has the LYT700 sensor

[jovial swan]

I wonder if the Huawei Pura 70 is good. Doubt my commander would be too keen on it though.

[jovial swan]

No? It has IMX890

[ebon marlin]

No

[jovial swan]

Or is Gemini messing with my head

[ebon marlin]

12R has IMX890

13R has LYT700

[jovial swan]

Oh my bad i read wrong

Sleep deprivation in nutshell

[formal sonnet]

Don't get a folding device then. The hinges have gotten way better at blocking dust and stuff, but they cannot block it all so a folding device will likely fail prematurely in that sort of environment. Getting a durable case for folding devices is also a nightmare.

Was also looking at the NP3

[rain haven]

Hi, quick question guys, is the 9060 XT 8GB worth it over the ARC b580 (the 9060 is 10 more)

[jovial swan]

NP3 looks good with 16/512, its just really pricey

[rain haven]

mostly for stuff like valorant, other esport games, occasional aaa game, play at 1080p.

[ebon marlin]

I did a simple camera test with my 12R and 13R when I got my 13R looked much better

[jovial swan]

Which is which?

[formal sonnet]

Also this. Sony sensors have come a long way, but even the latest flagship phones (Android and iPhone) pale in comparison to a $600-$800 CAD point and shoot prosumer grade camera.
Also, also, many phones have great camera sensors, but their camera app apply so much post processing they may as well have gone with a cheaper sensor.

[ebon marlin]

12R left and 13R right

[jovial swan]

I am mainly using camera for landscape Astrophotography

[plush wren]

frfr

[jovial swan]

Lemme find some examples... If i can

[plush wren]

those both look terrific

[ebon marlin]

The 13R also comes equipped with a optical sensor too which is nice but only 2x

So nothing that impressive

[plush wren]

iPhone 17

[formal sonnet]

2x optical is still 9001% better than digital, but yeah, not great. It's impossible to pack a ton of optical zoom into the thickness of today's phones. Now, if only they'd make a 1/2 inch thick phone... More battery and better cameras.

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

The 13R is also a budget phone which is understandable on why it's lacking

[plush wren]

Sometimes the post processing just completely ruins my photo

[ebon marlin]

But still great cameras

No complaints

Got my 13R brand new in box for 275€

[ebon marlin]

Some dude won it in a giveaway and had no use for it so the person sold it for cheap

Was lucky to get it since one person messaged the person before me and offered 300€ for it but they ditched last second so I got it

[plush wren]

[jovial swan]

Just some examples i took recently

[odd linden]

dude i barely see stars where j live lol

[jovial swan]

Had to crop them down since i take them in some way that makes them be like feckin 300 MB

you know i origianlly got nitro purely so i can upload bigger files lol

[plush wren]

i wanted to do this with my camera but i didnt know how to manual focus

[ebon marlin]

When taking those kinda pictures you can't really see it yourself either

[plush wren]

pov long exposure

[odd linden]

oh?

ohhh i see

[ebon marlin]

It takes ages for the phone to take the picture since it needs a long ass time to process it

[jovial swan]

One of my best takes ever,

[ebon marlin]

I think when I tried it it asked to be held stable for like 10 mins to take the picture

[plush wren]

tripods exist

[ebon marlin]

Don't own one

[plush wren]

they're like 15€

[jovial swan]

0.94 and 0.96 is what i put focus on,
220 ISO, and 640 ISO,
20 and 15 second exposure
E-W (dont touch it)
WB 4200K

[jovial swan]

Exactly, i put my phone on a janky tripod and hope it turns good

[plush wren]

i had an electrical wire directly above my camera which i didnt realize cause i put it on a table instead of using a tripod

[ebon marlin]

[plush wren]

whoever said sony lenses are cheaper used fucking lied

[gleaming rose]

the Sony A9 III is hilarious

1/80,000 shutter speed

[mint umbra]

kinda crazy how many diff products sony makes

[plush wren]

true

[gleaming rose]

sony is a solid company

[steel umbra]

they really only exceed in sensors imo

[mint umbra]

Dissagree

[steel umbra]

exploed

[mint umbra]

Like they are top dog in the bluetooth headphone space

[gleaming rose]

their displays are great

also they make that fuckass robot dog

[steel umbra]

only anc

charge big premium

[mint umbra]

So does every big brand in audio space

[steel umbra]

they do more

[mint umbra]

its Premium product

[gleaming rose]

plastic 😭

[steel umbra]

plastic snappy hinges ftw

[mint umbra]

Senheisers have just as much plastic

and ppl call them the goat

welp back to gaming

[gleaming rose]

they sound better so I give them a pass

[formal sonnet]

Eh sort of. Sony has some active noise cancelling hardware + software "magic" voodoo sauce under the hood that I haven't found on any other consumer audio device. Other products have ANC, but they don't work or sound as good as the ANC on my Sony audio products.

[mint umbra]

also dont they use plastic so they arent too heavy when you wear them

[gleaming rose]

an aluminium build should be a given at that price point

[steel umbra]

their headphones are a bit better built and use the plastics acoustically properly, sony’s xm series compare to headphones that cost 3-5x less considering their sound

[formal sonnet]

To be clear, anything Bluetooth will have diminishing returns as there is always some loss involved. Alas, mobile devices no longer have headphone jacks so we're stuck with what we're given. (Unless one wants to carry around adapter dongles / DACs and extra batteries, of course.)

[mint umbra]

like the apple ones or whatever are heavy as shit

[gleaming rose]

LDAC ain't bad

[mint umbra]

cuz of all that metal

[gleaming rose]

or wood, actually

and a proper leather (or even good quality faux leather) case

400-500 fucking dollars for a plastic build and a fabric coated cardboard case

[steel umbra]

you’ll always find people shilling brands, but their anc is great… if you buy their headphones and don’t use anc uhhh objectively not a wise choice

the sound could be definitely improved

[formal sonnet]

Yee some of the codecs make it less of a problem. And for normal everyday listening, it's one of those "non issue" issues - depends on how much effort each person is willing to exert in their daily life. 🤷

[steel umbra]

and the eq app too ig

you pay for the ANC and the XM sound signature (I call it the crowd pleaser sound signature)
Not technically great, but nice bass, generally tolerable and sure as hell nice to listen to

I had some XM4s

[gleaming rose]

nowadays I'd pick IEMs with a wireless adapter (or honestly I don't mind cables) over some XMs

Passive noise cancelling is solid if you have the right size eartips

[mint umbra]

I dont like wires when out of the house

they are a pain

expecially when running

[gleaming rose]

I don't mind them while running honestly

[formal sonnet]

If I had disposable income... I'd drop $5K on a pair of UE Pro IEMs in a heartbeat. As with all things, sound signatures are a preference, but I quite enjoyed the sound from a demo pair of UE Pro's 15 years ago.

Unreal Engine iems

UE seems wasteful money wise

chifi is great

[swift moss]

0.5mm thickness is perfect for the amp lol, can actually bend 0.5mm at home too

[plush wren]

thought that was wood

[mint umbra]

wouldnt metal make heaphones more exensive as well

[gleaming rose]

in bulk? it'd be slightly more expensive

not much

[steel umbra]

a lot

plastics are very cheap

[plush wren]

audiophiles sigh

[steel umbra]

creating metal, cnc, etc. is much more expensive per volume/parts

[plush wren]

[steel umbra]

though a larger manufacturer would probably use something else than cnc

[steel umbra]

i throw you into a 900km whirlpool

[spring latch]

This might be *too good * for a 5400RPM HDD
Keep in mind this thing has about 263 days of total uptime on it

[plush wren]

why

that doesnt sound pleasant

[steel umbra]

for treating the cat with a peasant wooden chair

[plush wren]

[steel umbra]

into the whirlpool you go

[plush wren]

nuh uh

[steel umbra]

that is a cart

Why microsoft didn't update NTFS since windows vista?
It still sucks so much, no symlinks, no fast unlink (while ext4 can instantly remove folder of any size with any number of files NTFS must recursively walk through every file), no bit rot protection, snapshots etc

[azure topaz]

thats pretty normal/honestly slow

[gleaming rose]

just use Linux

[peak bolt]

I wanna update my bios guys, do i have to download this VGA driver or what

when i tried it tried delete my current amd driver

someone said that its just for integrated gpu's

[spring latch]

for 5400rpm?

[twin thunder]

so less than a year? that doesent sound like alot

[regal pagoda]

how is the build quality of framework laptops compared to other similarly priced laptops

[unborn condor]

I had a driver overran stack buffer BSoD so I reinstalled the driver for my graphics card (7900XTX) and it gave me this after I finished reinstalling. What could this be? Everything shows up as normal, is this just Adrenalin being its' usual jank self?

[solar moat]

do you have dirvers?

try DDU

[unborn condor]

ddu?

[thorny nexus]

https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

Download, boot windows in safe mode, run, click clean and restart, install gpu drivers

[unborn condor]

well adrenalin runs it all off the same program which requires a download process to begin with no? how do i bypass adrenalin?

[thorny nexus]

It will delete the driver portion safe mode disables all startup apps

Then you can reinstall drivers from adrenaline or from the web

If that explains at all I’m not good at explaining Ts

[unborn condor]

Will it even display on my monitor after removing the drive though?

[thorny nexus]

Yeah windows has basic drivers that stay installed, not made for gaming or your gpu

It will run your display though

[unborn condor]

I don't even know how to boot it into safe mode

[coral galleon]

I wrote these down for specs, I can show on the actual app

[grizzled frost]

use pcpartpicker for the love of god

[coral galleon]

well im sorry i dont know wtf im doing

[south arrow]

I think its for the laptop specs

[grizzled frost]

oh, it would be preferable if you would type that out, no offense but it's not the easiest to read your handwriting

[thorny nexus]

Better than mine 💔

[south arrow]

I got amazing cursive and chicken scratch print

[grizzled frost]

I have god awful both, which is why i type most everything

[steel sleet]

Is there any way to open a pdf file on android without an app? It says no way to open file without one but I don't like the ads or $69 subscription popups for a pdf reader

[solar moat]

my eye

[south arrow]

They ingrained it into us then like sophomore year hit I switched schools and it was never accepted again

[coral galleon]

i had to do it while standing up, thats mb

[south arrow]

Was told they'd fail my paper so back to cruddy print lol

[thorny nexus]

Chrome

[south arrow]

To this day some 9 years later its still bad

[grizzled frost]

I hate when teachers are strict about handwriting, as long as it's legible it shouldn't matter

[thorny nexus]

I don’t mine that I hate the teachers that make you do the math in a certain way

Like it’s not learning if you can’t do it your own way that’s memorizing

[coral galleon]

better pic I think

[solar moat]

no

[coral galleon]

no what

[unborn condor]

Anything I should check in the boxes? Anything I should uncheck?

[thorny nexus]

Leave it as it was

[south arrow]

Idk what that is

I do know messing with cofigs can lead to bsod if one doesn't know what they do

[unborn condor]

And then just let it do its thing? I was told to unplug my wifi adapter and ethernet before doing this as well

[south arrow]

Should be a fine laptop 🍀 given the price range

[coral galleon]

which one?

[unborn condor]

Well, I had to plug the ethereal in to download and install the drivers

[thorny nexus]

Yep

[unborn condor]

Hope that doesn't fuck it up

[south arrow]

Id probs choose the first one

And add another ssd later or run external storage

But option 2 would leave room for storage funds or a ram upgrade,but performs alittle worse id imagine based on chips

(Im not a laptop processor pro though so anyone feel free to correct)

[coral galleon]

okay I see

[latent pasture]

4060ti and get a better gpu in the future if ur income isnt completely 0

and 4060ti performs 91-96% as good as 3070ti anyway so ur not losing much but getting a waaay better cpu and platform
and cheaper @tiny thistle

[teal sphinx]

Is this hard to navigate lol?

[charred kiln]

Niagara ❤️

[teal sphinx]

It's the best

[shrewd timber]

I have a CD-RW what OS should i burn to it?

[charred kiln]

It is

[shrewd timber]

?

[teal sphinx]

My friends and family don't get it

[latent pasture]

anything can be easy to navigate if u get used to it

[shrewd timber]

I have No Idea

[teal sphinx]

This is so convenient imo

Everything i use on top. And other stuff I just have to press the alphabet and bam

No need to search around or type stuff

[formal sonnet]

Sort of - the list of what I presume are your "starred" / favorite apps isn't alphabetized. I would want this list alphabetized like the rest of the apps. Otherwise, yes, I too much prefer launchers that alphabetize my apps.

[latent pasture]

convenient because you know how it works
give this device to someone else and theyll think why is there an alphabet list but the visible apps clearly arent

[shrewd timber]

Hi

[formal sonnet]

No OS - it's 2025, we use Ventoy to put hundreds of OS ISOs onto a single USB drive, not burn CD's.

[teal sphinx]

The favourite is just kinda the app that I use the most. So eh

[shrewd timber]

I hate USBs

[teal sphinx]

You can sort it if you want

[charred kiln]

Ventoy is based

[teal sphinx]

The app can also help you sort the favourite by usage

[shrewd timber]

And plus none of my PCs boot USB MBR

[charred kiln]

When it fucking works

[formal sonnet]

Based? Based on what?

[shrewd timber]

Based as in Good

[teal sphinx]

True my friends don't know how to navigate itt

[charred kiln]

On something, certainly it's based on something

[formal sonnet]

Yeah I know what it means, even though I wish I didn't. 🤢 🤮

[empty quartz]

Its based on this segue to our sponsor

[teal sphinx]

Cd are fucking slow when you even get to try just usb 3.0

[empty quartz]

Glasswire!

[teal sphinx]

Is much faster

[charred kiln]

I use sponsorblock get owned idiot

[empty quartz]

Too bad

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-spiderman-jumpscare-jumpscare-gif-26238619

[charred kiln]

I am not there to hear the segue to our sponsor muhahahh

Anyways should I get the glorious model o 2 pro or pulsefire haste 2

[empty quartz]

Heres a segue to our sponsor; glasswire

Least functional tech chat 1 in the ltt server, 0/10

[sinful cobalt]

whatever shape u prefer

[charred kiln]

Idk, theyre both symmetrical

[thorny nexus]

AliExpress gaming mouse

[sand epoch]

are dye sublimated pbt good or should I go for double shot

keychron sells double pbt which are see through but they look so lame

[thorny nexus]

Whatever floats your boat dosent really matter

It’s a keycap not a surface to air missile

[sand epoch]

it does tho , dye sublimated legends become shiny sooner compared to double shot

[thorny nexus]

Then get double shot 💔

[sand epoch]

im just asking if it's worth it

[charred kiln]

I kinda want the model o cuz debounce settings and I alr have a deathadder v3 pro and a superlight 2

[thorny nexus]

Dosent really matter imo I rarely look at my keyboard

[thorny nexus]

What is a debounce

Im pretty sure my darmoshark m3 has that in the settings app

[charred kiln]

Something that lets you enable double click and I need that cuz Minecraft

[thorny nexus]

Chinese mice on top

[charred kiln]

Also I prefer to buy physically and I have both mice in a local shop :P

[thorny nexus]

Oh yeah go for the glorious then

It’s a good mouse

[charred kiln]

It's a tiny bit more expensive tho

[thorny nexus]

$40 8khz Chinese mouse 🤑

[charred kiln]

Not going for the regular model o cuz I hate honeycomb mice

[charred kiln]

I don't want nor need 8khz

[tribal briar]

If its honey comb i better be able to eat it

[thorny nexus]

That’s why I set my 3d printer infill to honeycomb

[charred kiln]

I'm not good enough to utilize it, my monitor is probably not good enough for it and it takes up more system resources

[thorny nexus]

If the print fails I just eat it

[sinful cobalt]

keycaps are purely for aesthetic

They have sound differences but its VERY slight

the only major difference would be ceramic heavy keycaps

[thorny nexus]

Idk the hype about some stupid aah $300 keycaps because they look 2% different

[charred kiln]

I see the point in limited edition keyboards and shit but keycaps? Hell naw

[thorny nexus]

Thou shalt spend $400 on keycaps with some anime drawings on them

[teal sphinx]

Metal key cap

[charred kiln]

But I'm not a weeb ;(

[teal sphinx]

[sinful cobalt]

china has some for like $30

[thorny nexus]

This is why we love AliExpress

[teal sphinx]

Aliexpress

It's so expensive tho

Buying from taobao is cheaper

[shell axle]

Anyone on here done or hear of someone installing steam os on a ROG handheld?

[sand epoch]

well i would like my keycaps not to become like it's been through a war after 1yr of use

and idk if you notice but there's a very slight difference in sound between abs and pbt

[sinful cobalt]

thats a skill issue unless u physically abuse the mcshit out of them it shldnt happen

literally what i stated

[sand epoch]

it's more of a manufacturing issue but whatever

[sand epoch]

i would've but I'm not a weeb

[charred kiln]

Thou shalt sit down and buy a 3$ set from prince ali

[thorny nexus]

If you’re just gonna defend double shot get double shot

We gave our opinions and you’re arguing them

[charred kiln]

Print quality is pretty hit or miss with dye sub

[thorny nexus]

Tbf there’s some ass double shot ones too

[charred kiln]

Yeah but in a low price point you will probably get fucked with dye sub and not with double shot

[south arrow]

Reeeeeee

||eeeeee||

[sand epoch]

I wish AliExpress wasnt banned in india
