technology

[valid sky]

Exactly

Just tried using my speakers at 100%

It's as loud as my old ROG phone 3

If not louder

True tone sucks sometimes

Notification sounds are shit (mostly)

Otherwise it's awesome phone

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk I would really thank OnePlus for this feature

[subtle hawk]

yes

you can watch oppenheimer at home already?

[valid sky]

Idk

[subtle hawk]

oh

thought you watched it on your phone

my bad

if the films in 16k

will it be released digitally in 16k

[valid sky]

I watched it in cinema

With my cousins and brother

[wispy quartz]

I watched it with my dad. We're the only ones really in the family besides my grandpa who served in the navy during Vietnam who actually care about it

[subtle hawk]

this cheap watch from a long time ago

still beeps to this day

idek how it still lasts on that small battery

years now

3-4? even longer could be

[hexed citrus]

you don't need to be a ex military to get the movie

but it's definitely not for someone that has no idea of who he was

[wispy quartz]

Never said it was.

It just so happens we're the only ones in my family who care.

[hexed citrus]

I care more from the engineering and theoretical physics standpoint

[wispy quartz]

Fair enough

[valid sky]

I have a cheap wireless keyboard

Last time i charged it was last year xD

[subtle hawk]

this magic keyboard lasts for like

uh

maybe 6-7 months

before a single 10-20 minute recharge to full

[valid sky]

Seems like well made keyboards could last for year or year and half on single charge

[subtle hawk]

yeah

apple overcharges

but i lasts enough

[subtle hawk]

can’t beat the shoddy flip phone

get that

literally better than the samsung flip 4

[valid sky]

Lmao

Damn, the OnePlus UI is so light even compared to ASUS UI

I will report my experience after a month xD

[subtle hawk]

thanks

[subtle hawk]

oxygenOS 13 is really different than the previous releases (F you oxygenos 12)

[little seal]

Even if it did get made, Google would get bored with it and abandon it like other stuff they made

[mental coyote]

Corpos, like politicians, lack a sufficient degree of fear regarding the populace. If they had that fear, they'd quit trying to pull a new Panopticon maneuver every few months.

[mental dagger]

[kindred dagger]

Change in intent

Who the fuck sold GE appliances to Chinese

GE

[valid sky]

Ew

Dealing with DRM is the most frustrating thing

[valid sky]

Yeah, its really fluid OS

Battery life is good (i get away with 50% charge for the whole day)

Trird GI with max settings on normal mode still cab get 60 FPS and bo overheating

[subtle hawk]

ye

nice

[subtle hawk]

my 8t battery isn’t great

but that doesn’t mean the phone is bad

[valid sky]

As long as idh to charge my phone 2 times+ a day its fine

[subtle hawk]

fair

[valid sky]

My iPhone sometimes i charge it for 3 times

[subtle hawk]

my iPhone needs 2 charges a day

peak iOS 17 efficiency

[valid sky]

My old ROG Phone 3 used to charge only once a day too

[subtle hawk]

nice

that's good

[valid sky]

Unless i put very heavy usage

Any phone would need 2 charges xD

The lower charges time / day the better for Battery

Also i tend to put heavy loads on my Phones

[valid sky]

4 hours of continuous gaming was amazing

Ofc that 6000Mah Battery helped

[subtle hawk]

I can't imagine that for any of my phone's

4500mah on 865 is decent

[valid sky]

5000 On 8 Gen 2 is amazing

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[valid sky]

Well, i get stuck at shitty places a lot

[subtle hawk]

hahaha

wait why not genuine charger

[valid sky]

Where i either stay on my Phone or sleep xD

[subtle hawk]

I see

[valid sky]

I tried the 100W charger twice

[subtle hawk]

I also don't use genuine charger cuz cables too short and I don't have enough ports

[valid sky]

25-30 mins and the phone is good to go

[subtle hawk]

it's fast but like, I don't need that speed

cuz I don't daily drive this phone

[subtle hawk]

once it ages it'll charge fast but get rly hot

that's what my phone does

[valid sky]

I use my normal Chinese charger when im not in a rush

[subtle hawk]

unless there's proper cooling, it will overheat whilr charging

I have no other clue to check battery health on android other than accubattery tbh

haha

[valid sky]

Tbh, it doesnt feel hot

My iPhone is hotter when it charges on 20W charger

[subtle hawk]

iPhones have shit cooling

they'll get hot over anything

[valid sky]

I can relate xD

[subtle hawk]

xr of mines does that

13 still does

it's funny

apparently it's display p3

oh yeah my OnePlus has dual sim in Canada region

does the 11 have dual dim

sim

I love this android cuz it has dual sim and a really nice build

[valid sky]

It does

[subtle hawk]

OnePlus w dual sim

pogw

i hope this phone lasts tbh

[valid sky]

It has esim too

[subtle hawk]

I like androids but I don't want to daily drive

[subtle hawk]

mines has no esim

still dual sim tho so that's poge

[valid sky]

The CPU in theory has iSim

Its a new feature

[valid sky]

Been daily driving Androids since 2013

[subtle hawk]

I can't daily drive them

I find them too gimmicky

I live with iPhones

even tho sometimes I find them horrendous

[valid sky]

I see

[subtle hawk]

just can't ever find an android phone that's solid w warranty and has good software w good build quality

[valid sky]

iPhones ages very well, but they get too hot after a few years of usage

[subtle hawk]

OnePlus lacks the warranty part, and sometimes the software

[valid sky]

Since iPhones use chassis for cooling

[subtle hawk]

yeah

the OnePlus uses back and display

[valid sky]

I almost never use the warranty

[subtle hawk]

I want to replace the battery

but I'm scared they'll butcher the thing

during replacement

I can't buy the battery off of iFixit cuz I'm not in usa

[valid sky]

Ik a professional repairman in my city

[subtle hawk]

so I want a friend of mines to buy it

and then ship it to me

so then I repair it myself

[valid sky]

He inspected my broken ROG Phone 3 and told me everything that got damaged

[subtle hawk]

I'd rather see my device die in my own hands than to see it die in someone else's

I love this phone haha

[valid sky]

Turned out Power IC + Storage unit + Battery all died

[subtle hawk]

💀

that mainboard sounds roughed up

I had my xr repaired locally, and it came out horrible

[valid sky]

While other shops just tell me that mobo is dead

[subtle hawk]

so I don't trust local

and online reviews are mixed for OnePlus repair, + their website never allowed me to process a repair

[valid sky]

I coincendancly found that professional repairman xD

[subtle hawk]

man, some people are just great at their jobs

passion is great

[valid sky]

He even repaired a OnePlus Infront of me xD

[subtle hawk]

I wish I could watch someone repair in front of me

[valid sky]

Unless its deep inspection or complicated repairs

He does it in front of me

If its a trivial repair its FREE

[subtle hawk]

well I can buy batteries off of ebay

get iFixit kit and do it myself

get some glue to reseal

[valid sky]

or AliExpress

[subtle hawk]

yeye

well I can't bother tho

although I do like tech

[valid sky]

Sometimes magic tapes comes with them

[subtle hawk]

it's scary

[subtle hawk]

yeah I mean like

liquid glue to seal the back glass

[valid sky]

Yeah

I was gonna learn mobile phones repair

But cancelled xD

My Hands arent very steady

Also it requires some expensive tools

Im kinda busy trying to find job + Learning Japanese

Japanese has so many rules, reminds me with Arabic xD

[subtle hawk]

I'd rather go out biking than sit and fix a secondary phone

[valid sky]

At least Japanese doesnt have إعراب

إعراب is the most frustrating thing in Arabic Language

Arabic is my main language tho

English comes 2nd then some Japanese is 3rd

[subtle hawk]

I see

Cantonese comes first, English second, and then french third

most of them are horrible

I don't like speaking mhch

[valid sky]

French is the least useful language to me xD

I literally have 0 use for it

[subtle hawk]

I have no use either

just bs ing through it for school

Cantonese w a mix of Mandarin and English is what I do

[valid sky]

Hindi is far more useful to me

[subtle hawk]

I'm not good at Cantonese or Mandarin thk

tho

it's just basic language knowledge

[valid sky]

Im trying to get deeper and deeper in Japanese

Once i master it

I might consider learning Hindi

[subtle hawk]

ye

I find no use for japanese

other than entertainment

[valid sky]

I want to explore more cultures in the internet too xD

[subtle hawk]

Hindi, English, and Mandarin

I believe will be a main language

well it's just blatant racism there, but that's what I just think

[valid sky]

Arabian culture on the internet is Toxic enough for me xD

[subtle hawk]

large demographics

[valid sky]

So Japanese won't be much worse (i Hope)

[subtle hawk]

haha yeah

anything on the internet is toxic

[valid sky]

Also there are A LOT of Indians here

Communication would go better for me xD

[subtle hawk]

haha ye

s

[valid sky]

Also it helps me getting lower prices with labor xD

[subtle hawk]

😂😭

DJI batteries are cool

self discharge? count me in

such complexities for such a small aerial device

oh yeah, I was thinking of getting a 18650 based power bank

hotswap batteries just seem so cool

hotswap on anything is just fascinating to me

[valid sky]

Yeah xD

[subtle hawk]

haha yes

there's this fan I have which has replaceable fuzes

it's cool

[subtle hawk]

i don't like icloud syncing the entire thing to my device

fixed it

just booted it onto my NAS

it was just redundant dmg files

just in case i wanted a reinstallaiton

oh my god i'm finding this usbc hub more and more unfuriating

every single time i try to put load on it

it just shuts the ethernet connection down

it's just a 4k youtube video, me seeding (legally), and file transfer to my nas

internet shuts down, and i just don't get it

[valid sky]

Cheapest Brand new Smartphone i found xD

we have the alcatel 1b here

it's worse, but looks around the same

4 days of trial and error and I finally got it to display the information from the .csv file. Next is calculating the average and searching the student by first name, last name and student ID.

[proven bear]

are there any ide yall recommand for graphics using cpp?

[subtle hawk]

huh?

[proven bear]

like how to making stuff like guis and colors with c++

(any easy libraries yall recommand?)

[valid sky]

Havent tried to do it with C++

[proven bear]

ik doing graphic with c++ is not a sane thing to do but still

[valid sky]

I only made GUIs using C# and Java

I only used C++ to program microcontrollers

NXP LPC1768 and Arduino Mega 2560 to be exact xD

Tried to program PLCs, but they were too complicated and each needs its own supporting languages

I used Arduino which uses cpp as programming language and i used C# as GUI

[subtle hawk]

oneplus 8t has no hw av1 decoding

[valid sky]

Sheet

For some reason the 100W charger completely bypasses overnight charge protection xD

[valid sky]

Just found out that many of my friends uses 1+ phones

One of them still using 1+6T McLaren

And the other one uses OnePlus 7 xD

Seems like I’m the new kid in 1+ neighborhood xD

No official OnePlus retailer in Saudi Arabia, people still manage to get them xD

I personally got mine from UAE

It turned out that they sold me the Indian version xD

Since OnePlus 11 green is only available in India

[subtle hawk]

i’m the only oneplus kid at my school

i’m feeling special

official oneplus chargers get sold out fast, but they’re just so good

[valid sky]

5-100 in less than 30 mins

Its just insane

[subtle hawk]

i know lmfao

it's like, super gone fast

laptop fans tbh

they spin so fast

mines spin 6800rpm

it's so fascinating

[valid sky]

Its normal for a blower style fan

6800 RPM is a bit to the too high side tho

[valid sky]

Used my Chinese charger today since im not in a hurry

[subtle hawk]

lmfao, my gaming laptop had dual 6400rpm fans

my mac has dual 6800rpm fans

[valid sky]

Not louder than my almost 10 years old PS4 xD

Damn PS4 is almost 10 years old now xd

[subtle hawk]

yeah haha

[valid sky]

Time runs

[subtle hawk]

my ps4 slim still goes well

use it for netflix and the casual wows

[valid sky]

I have my release day PS4 running okey

[subtle hawk]

never had release

[valid sky]

Only opened it for cleaning

[subtle hawk]

i was too young to even be conscious then

😂

[valid sky]

Damn xD

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[valid sky]

Been using PCs since 2004 here xD

[subtle hawk]

only since 2019-2020

[valid sky]

2004-2018 all pre-built PCs

By HP, dell, etc….

[subtle hawk]

always been laptops for me 😂

[valid sky]

2018-now i build them myself

[subtle hawk]

i love the portability of laptops

[subtle hawk]

it's def cheaper always

[valid sky]

My last pre-built was running Pentium E5300, 1GB of ram

Upgraded it later to 3GB of ram and AMD HD 5450 2GB

[subtle hawk]

wwwwaaaaa

i remember when i couldn't afford an 8gb ddr3 sodimm 😭

[valid sky]

But Pentium E5300 was slow for gaming

It was just OK for office work

[subtle hawk]

yaya

i don't know much about intel pentiums

[valid sky]

If i still have that PC i would upgrade it to Core 2 Quad

[subtle hawk]

sold it?

[valid sky]

My parents donated it xD

Since i dont need it anymore

Some people would live with Pentium E5300

But not me

Even i5-8400 wasn’t suitable to me xD

It ran okey for the first 3 years

I would try to trade my Microsoft SP7 + Slim Pen 2 with ROG Ally

Been using it for 1.5 years

But i dont need it anymore

I use it rn only to learn Japanese xD

[subtle hawk]

hehe

[valid sky]

Also SP7 on release costs 1400$ + 200$ for Pen and its charger

I havent paid all of that ofc

I got mine used for 700$ + 200$ for pen + its charger + case and Chinese keybord

Its current selling value is between 650-1100$

i5 10th gen 8gb of ram and 256GB storage

The only reason that i would trade it is because ROG Ally actually uses x86 CPU

so it completely replaces my laptop xD

[subtle hawk]

mans is speaking

sp7?

[valid sky]

Surface Pro 7

I doubt it will be traded for ROG Ally without me paying difference xD

Unless i find someone idiot selling it because he wants to study

So i take his “non study friendly” device and give him “study friendly” device

I can use it as a regular laptop, and attach my 2nd monitor xD

Then i call it a day “at work”

[subtle hawk]

mhm yeah

rog ally could be used as study friendly tbh

[valid sky]

Yeah, but i see a lot of people selling thier gaming PCs because they want to study

Gaming PC is distracting while studying xD

[subtle hawk]

yeah

i put mines away

but yet i'm still gaming on my mac 😂

it's such blasphemy

[valid sky]

I used to take my SP7 and my 2nd monitor to study

[subtle hawk]

"study" or study?

[valid sky]

I end up watching yt at my 2nd monitor xD

[subtle hawk]

😂

[valid sky]

While studying

Yet i got 3.7/4 last semester while doing it

[subtle hawk]

that's not bad tbh

[valid sky]

I hate quite studying environments

[subtle hawk]

nice

i don't

[valid sky]

And i hate studying at home

I go to quite studying environment and use my 2nd monitor with yt to distract me xD

Yet it didnt in the last semester

[subtle hawk]

nice

[valid sky]

At least now i have my degree, but still trying to find job

Jobs in my area are rare for some reason

[subtle hawk]

wak

[valid sky]

Im trying to find jobs that are 150km radius around me

Still rare xD

[subtle hawk]

150km 😭

mans is living rural

[valid sky]

Im living in major city xD

Yet everyone i know drives for at least 70km

[subtle hawk]

that's depressing

[subtle hawk]

apparently apple music syncs playlists onto the songs library

lost all 6 of my playlists just like that :snap:

nice one apple

really demotivating me

asking apple to restore it rn 😭

i’m so dumb

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk its the end of the day and i still have 58% left xD

Definately was great choice that doesnt break the bank

[subtle hawk]

mhm

[valid sky]

They have the most complicated process of restoring things

[subtle hawk]

they can’t restore it

it synced to icloud

no backup

i just used my androids “downloaded” section to remake my playlists

[subtle hawk]

if it works it works ykwim

[valid sky]

Last Charge: July 2022

Its awesome for such Chinese keyboard

[subtle hawk]

[subtle hawk]

dji battery pack has pass through charging

nice

never used to work

now it does

dji my beloved

[valid sky]

Its not xD

I was just learning some Japanese

Now i consider buying his course / books

Since it worked for me

Spent half of my life with terrible English xD

My English only got good when i actually used it

I got mocked for my terrible English many many times, that's how i learned it xD

[subtle hawk]

😭

[subtle hawk]

fair enough

that’s how languages are used

practical uses will always make things improve

[subtle hawk]

dji mini 2 no remote id

thank god

travelling to america is less hassling

just a pop up and fly (below 249 grams!!! it’s not illegal, i have a license)

[hexed citrus]

RID is not in effect till September

also if you fly commercially you still need it

[subtle hawk]

i don’t

[subtle hawk]

[subtle hawk]

yeah

realized that a single usbc charger can have multiple purposes

i don’t need to buy any more

[glossy patrol]

Laptop Vs tea

[slate cape]

I genuinely don't get why Windows is promoting this when their Bluetooth feature is so dogshit in general

It takes me like a good 5 minutes to set up a new device

[subtle hawk]

it never works for me

[mental dagger]

I forgot this existed.

What I'm using is curl wttr.in/[whereyoulive]

in the windows command prompt.

[subtle hawk]

applied for dji unlock

worked

nice one

batteries are dead now

recorded for a lil bit too long

[valid sky]

113F only? Thats not bad

Here it hits 128F

[mental dagger]

Nice

[valid sky]

Sold my CRT Monitor

It got me almost 100$

[subtle hawk]

💀

a single dji battery is 55 dollars

for a mini drone

[pliant lynx]

What in the world...?
Where did this come from?

Scratch that, I saw below the photo.

[subtle hawk]

mmm yes in quiet environment

i can hear my drone at 120m altitude

i can still see it too 😂

what fun

[valid sky]

Well i always wanted to have Drone and VR headset

The problem with drone is i have no actual use for it xD

And VR, well it’s expensive af and ik it will sit in my drawer for most of the time….

Same as G27 steering wheel

I have it for 11 years, used it less than 20 times

Playing driving game with steering wheel is 100 times the fun

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk the only downside i got with OnePlus 11 so far is that it doesnt support HDMI output...

Laggy Screen casters would be problematic

Im gonna need to keep Chromecast device with me just in case now 😂💔

My bag is full of adaptors now xD

[subtle hawk]

real

reinstalling al rn

gotta get all that performance gains

[rare herald]

Will there be a version for phones that don't have magsafe/most android phones

[slate cape]

So yall think that its worth it or is it better to just buy an ipad of Samsung tablet lmao

[rare herald]

You can find a decent condition Samsung Galaxy Note 9 512GB for the same price online

Around $440 to $480 SGD

[subtle hawk]

why would you want a pointless feature on a phone

magsafe is dumb

[subtle hawk]

ereaders are the only thing i can imagine that has a use for eink displays of that size

anything else is just going to be a gimmick

[slate cape]

I want a tablet for school and notes taking, not a phone

Phone notes taking is just a nightmare

[subtle hawk]

well

tablet will work better

more reliable software

eg. the kobo sage or whatever that reader with notes

corrupts easily

[mental dagger]

Lol, I love this dudes videos. His explanations make it easy for me to understand

[subtle hawk]

powercert

sounds like a small and good channel

[mental dagger]

It really is one of the good channels.

[rare herald]

I want to know if there's version of it that simply clips on to the back of the phone

I hate magsafe as well

[subtle hawk]

ah

for androids and stuff

well there’s just simply

clips

😂

use clips to clip a wireless charger on

tbf i don’t use wireless charging, so i have no clue what i’m saying

[subtle hawk]

mm yes the taste of my monitor breaking

during reboot

[crystal sonnet]

any recs for cheapo monitors with at least 90hz refresh rate? don't want too much.

also my desk is on the small side so 19-24 should work just fine, any larger will strain my eyes.

[subtle hawk]

2014 tv still works

2020 monitor is failing already

mmmmmmm

so yum

[crystal sonnet]

tempting

[subtle hawk]

a million 😭

[crystal sonnet]

not when your paycheck is below $300

[crystal sonnet]

there is one with just 500

but unless you're fine with SPC then

yeh

[little seal]

$102.01 USD

[crystal sonnet]

for outside SEA that is cheapo

I'm still using my old Toshiba 32'' TV for monitor and it has two black lines

[subtle hawk]

american freedom units 🤩

[valid sky]

Toshiba products are made to last

My laptop went through every type of abusing

And it still works

Even my cat bitten its screen

It still partially works

[crystal sonnet]

my late college mate still has his Toshiba netbook from like 2006-2008 ish. Still working today when his wife turned it on a few days ago.

[subtle hawk]

ok monitor fixed itself

i believe it's an issue with me playing games

[valid sky]

It happens

Well, OnePlus 11 passed my extreme stress test xD

It reached 48c and still running 100%

The CPU is at high 50s or low 60s

It became hot to the touch xX

[subtle hawk]

yep

my 8t does that too

sometimes 50c

[valid sky]

While my iPhone throttles on 35c

[subtle hawk]

mines hit dead throttle at 63 or something

it tells me overheat and starts dimming display and throttling

well thats only cuz i was fast charging it while gaming under a blanket 😂

[valid sky]

Dang xD

My old ROG Phone 3 hitted 67c without throttling before xD

67c is x86 chips heat xD

Gaming phones has insane cooling systems

Thats why i guess xD

[subtle hawk]

oh my

yeah

the godly cooling systems

[valid sky]

Battery life is amazing

After 1h of gaming in hot weather

It dropped to 78% from 93%

[subtle hawk]

WHAT

my mans

that's RAISING

[valid sky]

I dont lie when i say that im pretty hard on my devices xD

[subtle hawk]

i want that device that charges the phone remotely tbh

[valid sky]

At 49c it gave me the overheating message xD

I cant blame it xD

Temp sensor is at the battery

[subtle hawk]

yeye

[valid sky]

Smart decision tbh xD

[subtle hawk]

yes

[valid sky]

Outter temp is 40c

Game shutted down at 49c

God knows how hot was the CPU xD

But some areas in the phones were too hot

Well at least protections are present xD

[subtle hawk]

mmm

[rare herald]

CPU temp at 78°C after 30 minutes of honkai

Sad life

[valid sky]

I cant play genshin now xD

Its 42c already

And i dont want the game to shut down again

Im stuck outside rn

[valid sky]

In a Phone?

[rare herald]

Hi Dovaab

[valid sky]

78c seems like an x86 temps xD

[rare herald]

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Snapdragon 865+

[valid sky]

I had that CPU in ROG Phone 3

Its amazing CPU

[rare herald]

I guess the Note 20 Ultra doesn't have proper cooling

[valid sky]

Well

That phone died on me due to humidity

Yeah 865+ can get too hot

My brother has Note 20 ultra too but Exynos

He is casual phone user

So he doesnt care

[rare herald]

That's why I have a phone cooler on my phone while gaming

[valid sky]

I made it hit 67c once

But the phone became too hot to touch

Thats how you know that cooling system works xD

[rare herald]

I use something similar to these to keep my phone cool while gaming

[valid sky]

My old phone came with one

I can't use it with other phones sadly

With my current phone battery protection triggers before it hits 65c xD

Battery hits 49c before it triggers

[rare herald]

This is from a 3rd party app which monitors system info on my phone

I can manually set it so it warns me at said set temps

[valid sky]

I see

But 70c on ARM CPU is a lot xD

Thats x86 levels of heat

[rare herald]

I don't know why it gets so high

The 865+ does get hot, but it shouldn't go that high

[subtle hawk]

yep

my friend had one

always shit heat

iphones have decent burst performance

it’s like sugar hits

it’ll peak high, but drop so low that you wonder if it’s an actual modern phone

[rare herald]

At least the note 20 can sustain performance for longer even though it overheats a lot

[valid sky]

I had one, if it wasn't gaming phone it would've probably caused issues to me

But with gaming phone it ran pretty well

That CPU really needs good cooling system

Current 8 Gen 2 runs pretty cool, unless i use it in really hot area (like 40c+ temps)

[rare herald]

Guess I'm upgrading to the S23 Ultra then

[valid sky]

Been using my phone aggressively for 5 hours

Still have 31% left

That 4nm really pays off

My old 865+ with 6000Mah battery used to last only 4 hours under aggressive usage

[hexed citrus]

it's very much dependent on the person

[valid sky]

Well, thats what i tell to those who tell me to get iPhone

since iPhone has the biggest number of users here

[hexed citrus]

give them a

[valid sky]

Ofc

Well, iPhones has pretty early throttling points

Which changes every year.....

If my battery went below 80%

My phone goes back 2 years in performance

Which is frustrating

[mental coyote]

They were caught red-handed deliberately throttling phones, and people still buy from 'em. And folks wonder why I call Apple the Fruit Cult.

[rare herald]

So true

I prefer Samsung or Sony

[mental coyote]

Mainly Google. In large part because I dig GrapheneOS a lot, and it only runs on Pixels.
Used a lot of Motos before that, since most of their shit's easy to root/custom ROM.

[valid sky]

I just started in 2020 switching to different Android companies

2013-2020 i was with Samsung

Note 2, Note Edge and Note 8

I loved the note series

Then used ASUS ROG Phone 3 from 2020 until early 2023, then it died due to humidity.....

Now im using OnePlus 11 since ik many people have it and they have no issues with it (or they just started to have it after 4 years of usage)

Despite the fact that it doesnt have official retailer in Saudi Arabia

Retailers here tend to overprice stuff

[subtle hawk]

OnePlus has no retailers iirc

they only do online

which could be how their devices are lower priced

like xiaomi

[valid sky]

I see

I got mine from eseller from UAE

And its priced reasonably

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[valid sky]

I learned how to provide parts incase i had to

So yeah....

Not having local support is fine for me

[subtle hawk]

yeah

same

[crystal sonnet]

Xiaomi do have official retailers though. I got one near where I live.

[subtle hawk]

yeah

that's what i'm saying

they're online

oh

nvm

in america, i don't think there are official xiaomi retailers

if they do, mb

How do I buy chatgpt?
I need it for studying but the link keep getting block for some reason

[mental dagger]

Buy? Which are you buying from?

The one I use is this one.
https://chat.openai.com/

Which is free.

although you would need to pay for the GPT-4

[dire tiger]

This isn't available in my country

[subtle hawk]

how

😭

did france block chatgpt or summ

[subtle hawk]

i think i sent in this chat before my external ssd reporting 64c constantly

now it's at 50c

nvm it worked

never adding multiple partitions to a single drive

makes ssd and drive controller insane

[subtle hawk]

one must learn regex because of its fun

[dire tiger]

I ain’t French

[subtle hawk]

idk

Thats what iPhone can never do

average dev unlocker

i remember trying that

everything was lagging

[valid sky]

All my Androids i unlock dev mode xD

Mmm. Dev Options.

Interesting.

Thinking about taking this elective, just to see what the class is like.

I love having portable monitor for my 2nd setup

Doing 1 thing at a time isnt my thing xD

custom freeform windows on a OnePlus does need dev settings

i love putting sensitive data on an about-to-die hard drive

[valid sky]

Idk why but 3.5" HDDs last longer with me

While i kill lots of 2.5" HDDs

I have 1TB HDD in my PC from more than 5 years ago and its still in good condition

[subtle hawk]

wd easystore

soldered usb 3.0 port on a 2.5” drive

basically packing unreliability

[hexed citrus]

because 2.5" hard drives are made with smaller tolerances and the fact everything is in this proximity they overall have a much smaller lifespan

[valid sky]

I see

At least now none of my devices has it anymore

Either 3.5" HDDs or its SSD

I have like 10 dead or almost dead 2.5" HDDs in my drawer

[hexed citrus]

I've had too many HDDs over time that died to count

[valid sky]

If my PS4 HDD dies i would make it SSD

since at least here

1TB SSD costs the same as 1TB HDD

Even if its 10$ more

[hexed citrus]

that's normal

SSD prices have come down drastically in price

[valid sky]

Yeah, at least 2TB SSDs are affordable now

Im planning to completely replace my 1TB HDD with 2TB M.2 NVme

4TB HDD would stay for a while

56$ for 1TB MX500 SSD

Which has DRAM

i notice far less slow downs with SSDs that has DRAM

Even dramless SSD would be far a better upgrade from HDD

[mental dagger]

Uhh oops.

At least it found what it needed to display

[lilac spindle]

Eh not really. dramless SSD's can suffer at some workloads to the point of being slower than HDD's

[valid sky]

Noticed that with Kingston A400

[crystal sonnet]

hm, my laptop drive has been with me for 10 years and it still runs like champ

My problem is the potato machine itself as it is slowly tearing itself apart

2 broken USB ports, non-functioning touch pad, and now the screen just displays gray or black lit with no images

[subtle hawk]

laptop dying before the drive

what horrors

[crystal sonnet]

btw, anyone ever tinkering with sysprep?

[crystal sonnet]

I mean, it's kinda common around here because of how cheap these machines are

[subtle hawk]

i see

well theres this 2012 lapto my dad drives daily

[crystal sonnet]

I really want to migrate my lappie's windows 7 install into a new legacy machine without much reinstalling because I have a lot of programs that I don't have the installation setup anymore.

[subtle hawk]

migration assistant?

[crystal sonnet]

in Win 7 it's called sysprep (system preparation)

[subtle hawk]

sounds cool

[crystal sonnet]

basically returning the OS to a kinda-fresh state by returning to default drivers and succh

[subtle hawk]

bro

just move the drive over

[subtle hawk]

i see

[crystal sonnet]

Win7 don't allow that rather easily sadly, or else it has big possibility of it crashing

another problem is

should I buy a used one laptop that still has win7 support or build a legacy desktop

[subtle hawk]

legacy desktop?

[crystal sonnet]

Yeah

[subtle hawk]

does wind7 not have modern drivers

or jus run a vm for it

[crystal sonnet]

Pre-Kaby Lake stuff I mean

[subtle hawk]

icic

[crystal sonnet]

Does Coffee Lake still support win7? afaik it kinda doesn't

[subtle hawk]

oh

rip

yeah jus legacy desktop it ig

[valid sky]

You can install one of these unbloated windows 10/11

[subtle hawk]

cuz win10/11 h as compatibility layers

[crystal sonnet]

the main issue is saving my legacy programs and such

[slate cape]

Was thinking about getting a tablet for school work, should I get 128 or splurge more and get 256 instead, it's purely for school work and maybe watching stuff here and there

Specifically, looking at xiaomi pad 6

With everything (256gb) pen and case, its this

[valid sky]

The difference is quite big

[slate cape]

Yea

80 dollars for double storage

[valid sky]

Well, if you are not required to install any specific apps and its purely school work, 128GB wont hurt

[slate cape]

128 variant

[valid sky]

If you are doing anything else with it

Go with 256

You can use that 95$ somewhere else

[slate cape]

I'll maybe save up a little more and go with 256, but I'm mostly leaning more towards 128 rn

[valid sky]

128GB isnt bad idea, but if you are gonna keep it long term it might cause issues

Since data does add up pretty quick

[mental dagger]

Finally, it's over.

I had a good instructor.

[subtle hawk]

W

[valid sky]

Nice

Only got A+ in PE classes ..

[subtle hawk]

😂i can’t even get an a in pe

it’s rigged in our school

[mental dagger]

Thanks

[subtle hawk]

128gb does have issues

but if you aren't doing photography or videography with the tablet

then you'll be fine

[astral oar]

need help... looks like the laptop battery is expanding, case looks popped out

[subtle hawk]

internal battery?

unscrew back panel, unscrew battery out, and pop out

macbooks? throw em away

or give em to apple

[astral oar]

internal...the same AW laptop as long island skin

[subtle hawk]

AW?

yeah

[ancient knoll]

Can I change binding without losing my progress? (Facebook -> Gmail)

[alpine sandal]

That's more of a support help but yes you can, just be careful

[subtle hawk]

idk what AW means bro

[slate cape]

I just tried it out in the store

The keyboard is so fucking good

Like no joke

[tawny sonnet]

wa cow sgd529.. daylight robbery

How high are you rn

[spring brook]

Maybe you might wanna check if that design is stolen~

[slate cape]

Stolen from apple ofc

[spring brook]

Buy redmi 9C and use it for 2-3 years

You won't regret

[slate cape]

I owned a redmi note 9 pro for 3 years now

I want to go to a flagship very badly now

I fucking hate my camera

And xiaomi is definitely intentionally making my phone slower with newer updates

[spring brook]

9c is worse

It's half fucking responsive.

[slate cape]

Love to see it

After getting a new phone, I'll probably try to run Windows 11 on it

[hexed citrus]

I'm buying the fold 5

my fold 3 has had 2 issues after a bit over 2 years of use, one of which is ruining the phone if repaired

[slate cape]

other than when folded and it finallly being flush, dont really see the point of getting a fold 5 bth

[hexed citrus]

well it's not a phone for most people

[slate cape]

tablet?

ive seen quite a few people daily driving it

[hexed citrus]

yeah but ask yourself how many of those people actually use it to its full potential and not just a status symbol

[slate cape]

bro, an average consumer never uses their phone to its max potential

[hexed citrus]

an average consumer doesn't buy a 2000$ phone

[slate cape]

big scrren for YT, the other screen at the back for daily things

[hexed citrus]

if that's how you see it then my condolences

[slate cape]

i never used a foldable before

sorry ig

[hexed citrus]

a foldable that's in this style is mostly a productivity powerhouse

not for zoomers to open tiktok, subway surfers, family guy and fortnite at the same time

[slate cape]

hows it used for productivity

i dont see it

hoenstly

[hexed citrus]

emails, documents, meetings

things that don't require specific computer software and can be done on the go

[slate cape]

sure, that works

[hexed citrus]

if you hook it up to a monitor it becomes essentially a chromebook

[astral oar]

alienware

[mental coyote]

Haven't seen any of the Sammy Folds out in the wild, but I know a dude what bought the Pixel Fold, and is lovin' it.

Everything honestly boils down to use case.

[subtle hawk]

oooh I see

[valid sky]

Is it me or WiFi call doesnt work with iPhone very well

[valid sky]

I seen 2

One with my uncle and one with my classmate

And ik one with Z fold

He got it for Pokèmon Go

I stopped playing it when it got actually playable in my country xD

Its still banned by Google

Back in 2016 we used to walk/drive for couple KMs before stop or gym

Now i got 2 gyms right in front of my house xD

Yet i quitted it

Azur Lane is banned too in my Google Play

My main Google account is US

My VISA does work with US store, so yeah

Pre-paid visa sadly xD

Digital pre-paid VISA is very easy to get here

[mental coyote]

Ouch. Didn't know AL was banned in yer area. Too lewd, eh?

[valid sky]

Probably xD

At least with US acc idh to worry about bans

[mental coyote]

Truuuue

[subtle hawk]

it doesn’t

wait nvm

i read wrong again

for me wifi calling works when the wifi works 😂

wifi never connects properly on my device

i disabled wifi calling cuz it took too long for it to ping

trying to wifi call using phone via mac is pain

[subtle hawk]

Is this a techology or tech support question? I am building out an Azurlane box with a Rasberry Pi 4 + Lineage os, but the JoyStick to control to ships doesn't work with WASD. The main goal is allowing me to use my big screen and sit on my couch while playing. Playing on the phone is a bit unconformable some times. I know bluestacks is a thing, but I want a whole tiny box

[subtle hawk]

azur lane doesn’t come preprogrammed with keyboard controls

you need an overlay app that allows you to create keybinds to certain spots on the display

many emulators also do that

eg, this

you'll have to find the app for that

i can't seem to

An nice, I'll try that thanks!

[subtle hawk]

Worked like a Charm, used Key Mapper from the Google play store. My Pi has been 100% Azurlaned

[subtle hawk]

yay good job bro

[valid sky]

@subtle hawk last update gave incredible performance stability

Genshin Impact now maintains 60 FPS on MAX which is impressive

Also why 60 fps on phones is much smoother than PC or even console xD

[subtle hawk]

idk haha

[subtle hawk]

mobile 60 is always better than desktop 60

[quartz atlas]

imagine that

oled is better than led

its like they're 2-3x the price for no reason at all

[subtle hawk]

oh my god

it's like

OLED has some capabilities that LED's don't

[valid sky]

But burn in is a problem with it

I faced that with my old Note 8

It had a severe burn-in when i switched to another phone

Even the screen was yellow not white xD

Current OLED screens are much more burn in resistant

Older once used to burn in pretty quick

Sometimes in less than a month and warranty doesnt really cover it since its a "misuse"

[subtle hawk]

real

AMOLED on my oneplus 8t still works

no green light

if i do get one bruh im jus gonna throw a hissy fit

[hexed citrus]

not really

the panels did get a bit better but it's the software that became better

[valid sky]

Seem like its in combination with my behaviour change xD

Is what made it much better

[hexed citrus]

also ordered the fold 5

only 300€

[valid sky]

Nice

[hexed citrus]

my fold 3 had finally killed itself

no sound comes out anymore

as the speaker ribbon cable tore off completely

[subtle hawk]

holy that’s cheap

how’d you get it so low

it’s 2.4k here with no trade in

[hexed citrus]

phone plan pays for the rest

as in I have been locked into the plan for another 2 years

[subtle hawk]

rip

quite expensive still ig

[hexed citrus]

not really

I keep paying the same plan I paid for years

I just get a new phone out of it

[valid sky]

Nice

Might do that for iPhones

[little seal]

sucks that Samsung Tabs with 8GB RAM still cost a lot

[subtle hawk]

oh

phone plan gets more expensive when i add a phone lock-in

[hexed citrus]

not for me

[subtle hawk]

damn

that's good

lol

[subtle hawk]

ngl icloud private relay is kinda a scam

makes your internet slow

but doesen't really do much other than change your IP address

well maybe on mobile i guess

but definitely slows down your internet speed multiple times

from an average 900/900 bandwidth to 300/100 😭

[rare herald]

Is this good

[subtle hawk]

it’s okay

[kindred dagger]

https://youtu.be/5c6AADI7Pb4

[mental dagger]

That's some good airflow.

only for..

[subtle hawk]

if it’s the case that’s 2.8k

that’s outrageous

but if it’s the entire pc, that isn’t half bad

[rare herald]

Any good recommendation for multi M.2 expansion card

[little seal]

Would be nice if Samsung made a 3TB & 4TB M.2 SSD

[rare herald]

True

Only saberent has 4TB and 8TB M.2 Drives currently

[subtle hawk]

switching over to GPixel @valid sky

my dad prefers the oneplus

[valid sky]

I see

[subtle hawk]

sad

but I don't daily drive my android

[subtle hawk]

haha wow the pixel feels bad

makes me want to use an iPhone 😂

oneplus software may be bloated, but it sure is more useful

the buttons feel horrendous

the software is alright, a quite lot of AI/smart festures

camera is really nice

but face recognition and touch recognition is bad

[valid sky]

Im glad that i opted it out then xD

[subtle hawk]

i don't know about you

but the settings ui just feels horrendous

it's just too spread out, and nothing makes sense

[slate cape]

Huh

Interesting

Ill wait for s24 and pixel 8 to come out first then

[subtle hawk]

dunno

not a fan of the software

i like things dense

gonna try to find a store to get my esim

apparently in canada and usa they purpsoely make esim as frustrating as possible

why do i need a card to swap to esim??

like why do i need to buy a card to switch to esim (10 dollars iirc)

cuz i kinda wanna run a dual sim

[wispy quartz]

I chose pixel 7 because my previous phone was a pixel 4 and I needed an upgrade

Also I chose it because of the ease of repair should a part break

[subtle hawk]

oh yes

the ifixit repair kits

it’s quite nice to have official parts during repsirs

[subtle hawk]

jetted isopropyl alcohol into my phone

now it's bootlooping

[valid sky]

uhm....
