gaming phone ≠ normal phone
they’re phones, but their purposes are very different
ashen zodiac
They don't focus on stuff like cameras or actually updating their OS.
They focus on the shit that matters, the performance. Hence the active cooling fan, shoulder triggers, big battery, charging passthrough, and you can dock the phone to a monitor like it's a console lol

Yes, but no 1440p display should be a strict 2x+ price increase over a 1080p display of similar quality.
1440p provides a great balance of cost, pixel count, and the display sizes where it is most useful for all content
Better than 1080p
Not as demanding, as expensive, and sometimes as wasteful as 2160p

And reroute them into a microcontroller like an arduino or raspberry pi
subtle hawk
i see
ashen zodiac
Do some programming, easy shit tbh, and done.
Arduino has so many example projects online if you google
I used to do the First Robotics Competition in high school, I kinda have knowledge on robotics and shit.
It's all really just controlling inputs and outputs.
With code.
wintry forge
Put some weapons on it
ashen zodiac
It's really not hard to like
Put a gun on shit
The hardest part is to mount it
The easiest part is to shoot lol
For real firearms, you use a servo and just make it spin with something attached so it pushes down the trigger. Easy.
If you use something like... an electric airsoft gun... you can take it apart, find out what the trigger connects to, since it's electronic, you just solder wires onto the points and connect it to the I/O of a microcontroller or relay
Then code it so it completes the circuit, simulating the trigger being pressed.
inland marsh
omg i can??
you don't even need a motor driver, just bodge some PWM (or even simple GPIO) to the existing driver and you're good to go
roomba is fairly "low tech" as far as the actual locomotion is concerned, not even BLDC
Heck, even the encoder is simple square wave
inland marsh
For real firearms, you use a servo and just make it spin with something attached...
or just use solenoid, no need to calibrate the slack
ashen zodiac
I only use the drive controller to deliver higher voltages. Otherwise yeah you can just apply the 5v that comes out of an arduino easily.

I do not care for custom keyboards. I am not that much of a pretentious prick. lol
My issues with this keyboard:
- USB passthrough is slow af but tbh it's meant for a mouse not actual data transfer.
- heavy af
- I hate NGENUITY but I can save the RGB profiles onto the keyboard's memory so I did that and uninstalled the program and never used it again.

No Exynos for EU market, finally. Thank you Samsung. Snapdragon for everyone

subtle hawk
If I wasn't on S21 FE since 2022, I too would get the +, but eh.. maybe when S25 hits I'll upgrade again
glossy patrol
I don't see much value in the normal S or + personally
I'd rather go Note/Ultra, get an older Note/Ultra, or drop down to some mid-range non-Samsung offerings
ashen zodiac
It's $400 more for the Ultra 512GB (lowest I can get)
Totaling $1900 CAD.
I also got no trade in so, fuck no.
I'll stick with the + 512GB, cause at least now I have something to trade in like 4-5 generations later with Samsung, plus the S23 gets mostly the same features the Ultra gets minus the cameras this time around.
Also the S23+ was like "Lol, you cannot select the 128GB. You can't pick the 256GB cause we double your memory for free during pre-orders. Have fun with your 512GB."
subtle hawk
I'm looking at prices over here, where I live
512GB Ultra is $1600 (converted to USD)
ashen zodiac
subtle hawk
256GB S23 Plus is $1370 USD
ashen zodiac
With taxes, it's like $400 difference lol
For some reason
If I had any of the phones that could trade in and I can take advantage of the +$350 bonus trade in value, I would have gotten the Ultra
Other than the camera and like 300(?)mhA bigger battery (for a bigger screen), I think one of the bigger differences between the two was whatever GPU stuff they said that supports ray tracing on the Ultra.... lolwhat
subtle hawk
Considering where I live, we went from $700 USD for PS5 to $900 USD (yeah, stores raised the price actually), the S23 prices are so-so here lol
ashen zodiac
I also bought the black frame case lol
subtle hawk
I'm ecstatic they've ditched Exynos for European market finally, and honest to God hope they continue with that trend onwards

glossy patrol
I suppose if you want an objectively dumb way of buying a piece of tech (depending on where you live somewhat), it'd be mobile phone contracts
glossy patrol
Yeah, and it's bad compared to buying the phone outright
My phone, on contract, for example, is £65 for two years
Buying outright is as low as £680-£700
It's best to buy the device when you have the money for said device, instead of having it trickle out of your account every month for however long, and coming to a much higher total
I realise that you could have perhaps taken my message to mean mobile data contracts. Those are utterly normal and fine, obviously depending on how much you're paying and what the coverage of your provider is lile

it’s fuckijg ass

wireless charging isn’t significant
glossy patrol
It's personal preference. For most people, it's just unnecessary expense and not much more convenient. Wireless charging is (ideally) slower and much less efficient than a cable
subtle hawk
Point being as Michael says in his video that OnePlus is going back and forth with their decisions, like the charger going from USB A to C and then back to A for OP11
However, the 11 has an official IP rating now, so I guess that's something
glossy patrol
Yeah, thankfully. Having no IP rating doesn't mean they don't have good or amazing water resistance, but it's just a weird cost-saving measure
subtle hawk
My 8 Pro freaked the fuck out if barely any water droplets would appear on screen, be it rain or anything
Shit was annoying to deal with honestly
glossy patrol
That's not IP rating though, just bad screen calibration, for the lack of a better word
My Nord was solid in both regards
subtle hawk
I guess that was it, but yeah, it would disobey any input, would start just doing stuff on its own, like pulling up keyboard and such
Frankly I don't have the phone with me, sold it for S21 FE
glossy patrol
That do be annoying. My old Mate 20 Lite was very bad at such, and eventually succumbed to rain while in my pocket (the phone did have many open entry points though)
ashen zodiac

Weird. The non-T models should have wireless.
As for no IP rating, that was mostly to save money by not having it certified lmo
I've dropped my 6T into water a few times. It's fine. They just never certified it.
But yeah water on the screen likes to freak out cause of the calibration. Mine does that too.

Perhaps I am misinterpreting the UI and it's terms, but isn't that fairly normal for voltage/timings at 3600MHz
I haven't really scratched more than the top of RAM timings, ect. RAM overclocking is infinitely more annoying than CPU/GPU
Also, I'm not sure how long for, but my AiO has somehow been able to keep it 6800K pretty cold for having lost one of its fans god knows how long ago
It's funny, as you can see the one fan working and the other not by the dust (no, I'm not usually this dirty, but we have construction going on)

does someone here know how to bypass the windows 22H2 update?
you can't
it's incremental
you can rollback if u have a restore point
gloomy tinsel
Out of curiosity really, did you previously had issues with 22H2 so you want to ...
just drop a bit of performance and take more ram than 21H2 on PC
well the 22H2 I want to bypass is on my new laptop
subtle hawk
I see, well.. problem being that Windows won't go around it, you can only delay the inevitable. You can roll back to earlier version as Yamato said with System Restore, or could try with 22H3 or whatever they're going after, not exactly sure what their naming policy is really

well then...
what's the complaint?
but honeslty
what are you looking so forward in win11
it's the entire same thing
glossy patrol
Registry edits fixed the TPM requirement but sadly not the CPU requirement

what cpu do you even have anyways

The requirement is still dumb but it is what it is

you can just create an iso that doesn't have the requienments?
sry i'm not skileld in this shite
glossy patrol
Yeah, it's just annoying to do so. I wish registry edits had been enough
glossy patrol
Nah, they only worked for the TPM for some reason
subtle hawk
Rufus can do that and I personally wouldn't trust modified images like Tiny11 or such, because you can never be too sure if the creator of the image included something that could be unsafe like a keylogger or such (not implying there is one) but still
tiny11 is a stripped version
i never used it
so call it a 50/50 if you want to use that
since it still needs tpm
Well stripped version yes, but as said.. it's a modified .ISO that someone else made
So it's a grey area
yeah
gray real
you can do a rufus and make an official iso to strip
best way
i think that's how it works

So the cable for the dGPU is just a custom made PCI-E extention cable?

An eGPU is an enclosure that has a PCIe slot and the necessary power cables to have a dGPU slotted in. That enclosure is then connected to a PC which has a compatible connector, mainly Thunderbolt where there is enough bandwidth and PCIe lanes available

vagrant holly
Having a super aggressive fan just means it gets bloated faster than it otherwise would, so you have to clean it more often or temps will just end up being worse than they otherwise would be, it's not to the degree most people would care about but if you don'ìt have a fixed schedule for dusting off your pc, maybe it's best to put some thougt into the fan curve
glossy patrol
An aggressive fan curve does nothing of the sort.
vagrant holly
It do, if you have it go berserk at every small load it'll suck more air harder, even when it may not need to, more air getting sucked leads to dust building up faster
Eg. if you open something like a browser window or a folder and your cpu blips from 30 C to 35-40 C but you have your fans set to crank up to 100% at anything above 35, sure your cpu will get down to 30 faster, but in the meantime your fans have sucked alot more air than they needed bring you down to that temp, the same could've been achieved with a less aggressive curve
Not to mention it increases the wear of the fan
But again, it's a small detail that in the grand scheme of things, for the vast majority of users won't really have a noticeable effect

Surprisingly enough, BRAW is very manageable.
At work, I have a system with a GTX1080Ti (12GB) and it handles 12K BRAW just fine.
It's just that 8GB doesn't really leave much headroom on its own already.
12GB handles it pretty well, though 16GB+ is ideal for 12K BRAW.
REDcode RAW is just whack and I'm glad we decided to go with BlackMagic rather than RED when we decided to invest in in-house camera equipment.

You can stick high strength kapton tape or similar to cover it from the inside if you're really that concerned about ingress. Then it's up to you if you want to fill with epoxy. At least that way you don't risk gluing your chassis shut.

It depends... the first revision has Kioxia 112L, which is TLC... Later revisions have Intel 144L QLC but there is no real way to check without purchasing that I'm aware off.
Honestly, I never really care if it's QLC, TLC, MLC or SLC since unless you have a specific purpose for it, the difference is generally pretty minor.
The biggest thing is that the controller is kind of a gamble... Either you have a Phison E21T, Silicon Motion SM2267XT or Silicon Motion SM2269XT.
The Phison is preferable, the SM2269XT is okay but the SM2267XT is kinda "nyeh" (it'll effectively only run at PCIe 3.0 speeds).
But again, no way to check without purchasing.

I personally grabbed a Kingston A2000 for myself. Everything about it is great for me, but my anecdotal evidence means little to none. I've heard complaints about longevity

at least its not like Adata that died always arounf 6month - 18 months

Yeah, because the MX500 isn't an NVMe drive, it's SATAIII 2.5"/M.2
And it'd be b...
Nvm, I looked at the connector wrong, thought it was M-key not B+M.

There's also the SN850, which is good all-round. Usually on the more costly side

I wouldn't bother caring about if it's PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 unless you're moving around huge quantities of data, to which you'd need good specs alongside PCIe 4.0 usage to make one such objectively better than a 3.0 drive

I still need to move my OS off of my 120GB DRAMless 2.5" I got for £12, kek

I think at one time SX6000 series used to be outright unusable on Zen 3 system

I don't have any experience with WD.
For my it's Samsung (generally) or Kioxia (if a bit more on a budget).
inland marsh
My go to brand is WD and HP (for some reason), and maybe Team when I'm a bit short
Samsungs pricing on their higher end product is outright insane here
glossy patrol
For me, I just don't care about the brand, because it really is all about the product.

980 is cheap tho idk why
980 is DRAMless so they probs saved there.

Can't believe how cheap SSDs generally are nowadays
waxen star
it certainly has come down quite a bit yea
gloomy tinsel
have any experience with corsair?
waxen star
I bought my first SSD 10 years ago for like 40 bucks... It was 120GB.
Nowadays, you get 1TB of that.
waxen star
have any experience with corsair?
samsung rebrands iirc.
gloomy tinsel
really? hmm
inland marsh
I wish pricing here is a lot more agile. Usually once a product is released here, it'll retain their initial price until it's discontinued...
glossy patrol
Most Corsair drives are also perfectly fine
waxen star
really? hmm
yea, iirc they are just rebranded Samsung PM-series normally used in pre-builts.
Could have changed tho?

waxen star
nvm, the MP600-series might be crucial(?)
Oh, according to a friend Corsair nowadays just makes them in-house.
Older generations were Samsung OEM but you'd be talking a few years ago (with the OG "Force" series).
gloomy tinsel
Yeah I just wanted to get the MP600 PRO LPX one
waxen star
About 4K yes.
inland marsh
Is there even consumer-grade U2 compatible mobo
waxen star
Consumer-grade? no.
Prosumer-grade? yes.
Tho that SSD is U.3, not U.2 (physically the same but a certain pin was assigned to be an IfDet and the drives support Tri-mode).
