wouldn't believe it tho

it doesn't harm anything, and dev mode isn't harmful

used to do it on school chromebooks teehee

[hexed citrus]

it does

chromebooks are not meant to run anything other than ChromeOS

[subtle hawk]

so at the end of the day the smashed Chromebook couldn't have gotten help

my Chromebook went up into smoke

punted the display a bit too hard

[gloomy tinsel]

well that's different things. only asus phones are the one that suck

was about to take Zen10 but remembered those problems

Asus laptops usually last very long. but if you don't buy a zenbook/ROG line up their build quality always sucked.

[subtle hawk]

So... I bought this Vivo V15 Phone since May 2019

But, I do have a question

Should I extend my Phone by 2 more years or change my phone now?

Note: No 🍎 Allowed

[subtle hawk]

yeah idk about the rog quality on laptops

i have one of their gaming laptops

ga502-ph96 or something

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-G15-GA502IV-PH96.586755.0.html

yep this one

[slate cape]

Honestly just get a new phone

Pixel 8 just dropped as well, but I'm just waiting a new more months for it to drop its prices

[subtle hawk]

noted

[hexed citrus]

ah yes the civic of gaming laptops

[subtle hawk]

not to mention I still live in 6/64 in the age where 10GBs is normal size for games

[subtle hawk]

⁉️

won't it be the thinkpads

[hexed citrus]

no

those zephyruses are known to have tons of issues

as someone once put it

"it's cheap, unmaintained and always filled with biohazards"

also relevant for gaming laptops

"use your laptop on a bed and your GPU will soon be dead"

[crystal sonnet]

I'm also considering to replace my 3 year old Redmi Note 9.

it still runs fine, AL and PUBG for example. but the former tends to suffer from slow frames which is weird.

it's also 6/128, but I really wanted to have at least 8 GB

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[subtle hawk]

Yeah I know

Well I won’t call it cheap

It’s expensive

Outright scammed 💀

[subtle hawk]

Not the g15

Thing is, the vents come presealed by the manufacturer

Can’t believe it

[subtle hawk]

Aren’t civics reliable tho

So I thought yeah “thinkpads should be more reliable than a gaming laptop”

[slate cape]

I have a Victus 16

And fucking hell it keeps giving me BSODS

[subtle hawk]

Mines just has a bent display

It never closes right

[slate cape]

[hexed citrus]

reliable is relative

[glossy patrol]

I managed to get a battery for my Aorus X7 Pro V3

Even with the CPU limited to 800MHz, only lasts 90 minutes absolutely tops doing web browsing

Main issue is the GPU's both sucking up 10-12W each when idle

[subtle hawk]

Fair

Steam deck is berserk

DRG is fun and all

But wow it’s laggin

Well for the hardware in the deck, it runs really well

[subtle hawk]

Man... my phone is start to have its battery gone from 100% to 15% in count of less than 3 hours

[subtle hawk]

Battery is so puny

Back then 4-5 hours and my Vivo V15 is still breathing

heck I can survive from 1 PM to almost 1 AM with my Vivo and have some recordings of a wrestling show

I see them once

Yes this is the Vivo V15 where it has the Pop Up Camera and no annoying notch/punch hole

[glossy patrol]

73Wh

[little seal]

I didn't know they made laptops with 4 lanes of ram

[glossy patrol]

Laptops without four SODIMM slots aren't too common

[subtle hawk]

my laptop when it has only 8 gb rams and 256 gbs storage : 3 hours no charger, no problem
my laptop now(16 gb ram, 512 storage): 30 mins-1,5 hours of no charger, sometimes goes as fast as 5-15 mins

[subtle hawk]

Very puny

99wh when

[glossy patrol]

It can't fit a 99Wh.

[glossy patrol]

RAM and storage have basically no impact on battery life. You can buy a more powerful laptop and have it last just as long as a weaker laptop off the wall with the proper settings

[subtle hawk]

Skill issue

That’s why gaming laptops suck

Small battery with a high tdp cpu+gpu

[glossy patrol]

it's from 2015 w/ SLI

[subtle hawk]

Am I hearing cope?

Gaming laptops are still like that now

Shitty things they are

[glossy patrol]

No, most gaming laptops don't suck. Plenty modern models fit 99Wh batteries and have great power efficiency

[subtle hawk]

Great

Sure

[glossy patrol]

I think you don't really know what you're talking about. Just wanted to show off my cool laptop

[subtle hawk]

I think you don’t want to accept that gaming laptops aren’t good

I do know what I’m talking about lol

It may not be FOG levels of intelligence

But I’m not blurting random stuff out

[glossy patrol]

Just soujds like you have a hater boner towards gaming/powerful laptops and frankly it's your loss

I bought this laptop with full knowledge of the awful battery life it'd have
Well infact I got it for free anmd bought the battery later
I daily drive it

[subtle hawk]

Ok?

Does it change that the battery life on gaming laptops are bad

[glossy patrol]

It's clear you have no friends. My condolences

[subtle hawk]

Resorting to insults

Nice one

[glossy patrol]

Anyways, I think the slave GPU is dead which sucks

If anybody knows some free software that can test SLI/has SLI compatibility then LMK

[lilac spindle]

you do know there are 99Wh gaming laptops as well

you are equating what Ittx's laptop can't fit and generalising them to all gaming laptops

[subtle hawk]

Have I said that gaming laptops don’t have 99Wh batteries?

Even so, their processors will drain them very quickly

[slate cape]

Do you guys think this is a good deal?

[cold crest]

anyone here using 3+ monitors

[glossy patrol]

Why do you ask

[hexed citrus]

yes

why

[cold crest]

i want to know if i can extend a laptop monitor to one monitor and copy on another

[hexed citrus]

nah

it's either duplicating on the rest

or keeping them as individual ones

[gilded inlet]

You could try

[gilded inlet]

Helps if you make custom code for it

[cold crest]

windows settings only show duplicate on 1,2 and extend on 1,2

[gilded inlet]

Could try and do custom code to make it possoble

[hexed citrus]

"custom code" is not a silver bullet

windows simply cannot do such fine grained control

[gilded inlet]

Meh still could try

[hexed citrus]

do you even know what to change and what to look for when you mention custom code?

[gilded inlet]

What I mean by custom code is using visual studio to make a program or patch to make it possible

[hexed citrus]

....that's not how it works

[gilded inlet]

Still could try

[glossy patrol]

i think this is used in situations where you would potentially want dual monitors but close the laptop screen. should still be doable but i havent set something like that up sense XP days

[hexed citrus]

I found that option to work only until you unplug the monitors or they restart causing the ordering to fuck up

[gilded inlet]

Isn't it easier to use with multiple GPU and multiple video outputs??

[lyric thicket]

okay so nothing has changed and it works PERFECTLY then

[hexed citrus]

because for some reason windows internally uses the monitor IDs in the order they got identified

so if god forbid say monitor 3 got detected earlier it's now monitor 2 or 1

[gilded inlet]

Bad enough my current rig has trouble detecting my TV which is always plugged into it

[lyric thicket]

It's not the cable

The computer is from Windows 7 era

[lyric thicket]

oh so its just tired

time for a log nap

long*

[hexed citrus]

I can feel the sarcasm from all the way over here

[gilded inlet]

And since it was originally a laptop, in which I need the original display for it to work, it even harder

Cause I have to turn on the TV first for it to output to it properly instead of not detecting its plugged in

[lyric thicket]

I've had a TV that caused a similar issue but it was my TV not my laptop. basically if the TV had no video input the moment it turned on, the TV would shut itself off.... so my computer had to be on first THEN my TV could turn on...

made changing BIOS settings an absolute ngihtmare as well because the Logo screen was like 30 seconds long... then it would shut itself off immidiently after POST

this was like 15 years ago but i still remember that TV and how much i fucking hated it lol

[lyric thicket]

if im not being sarcastic it means im bored or im upset lol

[gilded inlet]

My TV is new

[lyric thicket]

yeah its highly unlikely your having the same issue i was, just made me remember the good ol days

[slate cape]

IT'S STILL SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE FOR ME

[lyric thicket]

Lmao wait for black friday deals

[glossy patrol]

I'm sticking with the 7 Pro. I'm very excited to see if they improved the Tensor much. The Pixels are amazing phones but the CPU is the singular weakness

Am I the only one who likes a slight curve?

[slate cape]

As a person with a redmi note 9 pro

2 years old now

Im so desperate to upgrade rn

[glossy patrol]

Yeah, ouch, can't imagine

[slate cape]

And not really, I find the curves that be rather nice

Since you have a pixel

Does it over heat often

Or is it a gamble

I'm pretty concerned about thermals on the pixel 8 Pro since I'm planning to use it for at least 4 years

[lyric thicket]

check out the LTT video about watercooling your phone xD

[mental coyote]

So far, I haven't seen as many overheating complaints, but it's still early days.

[subtle hawk]

😔more ignorant than me

Pixel 7 is okay

It gets a tad bit warm in the occasion

But not oneplus levels of hot

Their heat dissipation so good the entire phone is always hot

[valid sky]

Slower than dial-up....

Seems like servers issue

Other apps are perfectly fine

[hexed citrus]

Im using ISP's outdated fiber router

Which is shit all the time

[subtle hawk]

They call them gateways here

A modem + router combo in one

Fiber connects into the tower, which also broadcasts internet

[subtle hawk]

Seems Out of my budget

my budget for my phones at most are 400-500 US$, no more, lesser is better

And no, no old phones as well, they gonna cripple me long term via updates and stuff

[glossy patrol]

I don't think that was for you

[subtle hawk]

500US
no old phones

Mmmm personally

[glossy patrol]

500USD is a plenty fine budget for a phone that isn't old

[subtle hawk]

Mid range yeah

I kinda just think that going a little bit older (just android issue) would be fine

Google pixels are okay

Software is nice

[mental coyote]

I see 7/7a used for mid 300s. Maybe one of those?

Or see if you can score an 8 on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

They have software support

Used (from certain companies) is a good deal

[ashen zodiac]

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

[subtle hawk]

I know, just commenting

[subtle hawk]

some chinese phones are like... 200-300 US$ and they run just fine for gaming and have decent cameras

500 US$ is mid range and should be more than enough for daily drive, decent camera for event documentations and necessary photos only(that doesn't need a very great quality camera), good enuff for Genshin/HSR/AL/AK/insert games here and maybe PSP/DS Emulation(for some people), and more than enough storage to keep most games

Heck you would be shocked when you know a phone that has 24/1TB and quite strong, yet priced below 700 US$

[pulsar ocean]

Bluestacks eats too much storage even though i only play azur lane

[glossy patrol]

Bluestacks as a program isn't that large

While Azur Lane is like 12GB with all assets downloaded

Neither of their sizes are anything of a concern to the average computer with 1TB+ or even 500GB

[lyric thicket]

Fr, it was such a pain in my ass to diagnose anything, plus all 15 phones were on punch down pannels with 3 to 4 inches u shielded.... im assuming there was a good amount of crosstalk and im betting call quality its going to go up tomorrow morning.

[lyric thicket]

Thanks 🙂

[subtle hawk]

15??

Crazy

[lyric thicket]

yeah they have VoiP phones and they were all on a patch pannel with this style punch down

but the tech who installed in peeled back the shielding about 3 inches so you had 3 or 4 lines getting their pairs in contact

but now its all in keystone jacks

much better for signal isolation

[hexed citrus]

those are SUCH a royal PITA

[lyric thicket]

frfr

the pannle also was so old it was a 'CAT 5' punch pannel

and out of all the techs that were there before me no one took the time to update the patch pannel

I got 4 of these and only used 3

[lilac spindle]

what kind of network is this for?

[mental dagger]

I decided that I'm going to learn Assembly.

Does anyone have any tips who's experienced with that language?

[subtle hawk]

ASSEMBLY?

best wishes on your journey bro, sounds hard

[glossy patrol]

Sounds fairly useless

[hexed citrus]

what for

one does bot simply learn assembly, it's not a programming language

[lyric thicket]

Small business about 25 employees. 15 if them are decktops + phones in the office the rest are mechanics. They have 15 cameras as well for their large retail section.

Two servers running AD DS, printers, dns, fileshare... the basic stuffs.

[mental dagger]

Just to learn

[hexed citrus]

not a good idea then

it will literally not give you any benefit what so ever

[mental dagger]

Reasons for that being?

[hexed citrus]

because it doesn't have a practical application

[lyric thicket]

i mean if you want to understand a very deep level of computer architecture then assembly is fine to learn. if you want something that is going to be practical ever then maybe pick something else 😛

[hexed citrus]

even then assembly will not help you much with that

you're better off learning the theory first

why is data stored the way it's stored and how do processors process that data

[lyric thicket]

true, but sometimes people need a project and to see it in action

[hexed citrus]

well then disassemble a program and take a look

but there's going to be a metric ton of overhead

[lyric thicket]

im very much like that, if i study it i could repeat the info but if im not DOING it i wont understand it

lmao yeah

[lilac spindle]

AD DS?

uh what does that acronym mean

[lyric thicket]

active directory domain services

Just asking, do you guys think it's worth getting a huawei tablet?

And how hard is it to get google services on?

Because this deal is pretty hard not to pass up on ngl

[hexed citrus]

no idea

[slate cape]

Or should i splurge more and get a s7

[hexed citrus]

idk, I'm not a tablet user, unless you count the surface pro as a tablet

but personally I'd go for a samsung one

[mental coyote]

Probably yer best Android-side option.

[abstract schooner]

Speaking of Tablets, Ram isn't the same as processor, right? And what specs should I be looking for to run games like AL smoothly?

[gilded inlet]

RAM is memory, the actual processor is the CPU, the CPU, GPU and a few other things use the RAM to operate, the RAM is a temporary storage for small amounts of data

[abstract schooner]

So Ram is related to background stuff like notifications?

[gilded inlet]

No

RAM temporarily stores data the CPU and gpu uses

Hence the name, random access memory

[abstract schooner]

More is generally better, right?

[gilded inlet]

More capacity yes

But there's also transfer speeds which play a part

High speeds is good more capacity is always good

Generally, 4 GB is usually enough for most stuff

But higher performance stuff like majority of games requires more then 4 GB

[abstract schooner]

So the 3GB ram on my tablet might be holding it back?

[gilded inlet]

On mobile devices it's hard to find one with more than 4 GB

But the transfer speeds is another factor

[abstract schooner]

The GHz processor speed?

[gilded inlet]

No that's how fast the processor runs, transfer speeds is how many data transfers the RAM can handle per second

The GHz is how fast the CPU or gpu clock runs, faster is generally better cause it means the processor can do the tasks faster

[subtle hawk]

Mobile processors are about the same, so IPC doesn’t have a play

Well in the android space all tablets suck ass anyway

Newer generations will always perform more efficiently (greater performance per watt) (CPU)

[subtle hawk]

Really depends

The CPU only needs as much as it needs to process

If it’s a sharty old operating system, it might not need as much

Or if you’re running light tasks, it might not use as much

GHz is well, how many calculations the CPU can do in a second

[glossy patrol]

GHz is cycles per second. A CPU can perform many calculations per cycle.

The real way to tell if x device can run y is to just install it and see. You'd know if RAM is holding ou back because your RAM would be full. If it isn't full, it isn't really holding you back. An Android tablet w/ 3GB RAM probably just has some few years old low-end CPU/GPU and the way to improve performance besides making sure unnecessary crap ain't running is to just buy a better device. A mobile device with x processor can perform worse or better by a noticeable margin than a mobile device with an identical processor. When it comes to gaming performance, nobody does like 50 game benchmarks for every phone, if any phone, so it;s just down to buying a good device and then loading up whtever you want to do and seeing how it performs

[glossy patrol]

Try to think to watch without ads then

The riskier one is using Y2mate and download your vids(this way, you will see no ads)

Riskier to your phone/pc storage

No point of having it on 1080p/4K/8K

oh

there's downsides to opening a mail? they can really see it?

I'll remember to not open them next time. this one came up as a notification, and I clicked on it

spam typically goes into spam, but this one didn't.

[gilded inlet]

Emails are a very common way for a virus to get o to your device, moment it opens or you down load an attachment, the virus auto installs itself, so unless your expecting a specific email or know a specific sender to be true, delete it. The title of the Email also can be a give away

Sure you're buying the very last generation of that socket and also RAM, but it can still last you years. Depends on your upgrade cycle, because if you have very long cycles then you could be upgrading by the time AM6 comes around

[gilded inlet]

Me who has a AM4 socket and DDR4

[glossy patrol]

Uh cool, hundreds of thousands of others do too

[gilded inlet]

Honestly, when I do upgrade eventually imma just reuse my old parts for like...a server or something

[glossy patrol]

Or just sell them

[gilded inlet]

I'd rather keep using em

And considering I'm wanting to do AI stuff (totally having fun trying to figure out the code), it would be good to have an array that I could use like a super computer

I'm thinking if DDR4 could make it as AMD just shifted to DDR5 for this gen tbf

because my current system is very old and will use it for mostly retro/backwards compatibility gaming once I have my new parts

4790 like I said

as Ryzen 5xxx series has very tempting deals here rn

[vagrant holly]

If you're building a completely new PC, AM4 is an ok deal money wise but the platform is only getting support until 2025

And you also risk finding yourself with a board that doesn't have tpm 2.0, which means no windows 11

And windows 10 also happens to go end of life in 2025

Just get an am5 board now so you will save in the long run

Or you'll find yourself looking for a new PC in just 2 years time

If 7000 is out of your price range, save up

It'll only be more expensive in the long run if go to AM4 now

[crystal sonnet]

technically, I can jump the TPM 2.0 req but every major update is gonna bork it and Nadela (read: MS) will make the installation revert anyway.

SEA hardware prices are very volatile rn because of high exchange rate, couple that with very low wage, and my only choice for new parts is to finance it with high rates.

[vagrant holly]

how are prebuilt prices?

Worse?

[crystal sonnet]

enough to afford 1 year worth of rent.

also only CPU and GPU for the most part. Board and Memory prices are surprisingly stable

[vagrant holly]

Yeah idk how to help you that's rough

[crystal sonnet]

well, there's always the option of collecting 1 part at a time

[vagrant holly]

You guys get cyber monday deals?

It's around the corner basically

Getting one part at a time is hard

Like you can start with components that don't exactly age all that bad like a PSU and fans I guess

Maybe even ram

[crystal sonnet]

there are tech deals but not for the latest and greatest

[vagrant holly]

But a CPU and a GPU are ehhh

AMD is going to come up with new 7k skews not too long from now from what I heard

Check if the the current skews drop in price then

Or again, have a go during cyber monday

Bruh

[glossy patrol]

It really depends on your upgrade cycle because as I said, if it's long enough, you could skip AM5 completely if you go for like a 5800X3D and keep it a few years

[glossy patrol]

That I would highly recommend against

[gilded inlet]

Me who's already doing it

[glossy patrol]

Good for you

[gilded inlet]

I only need the CPU, psu, and SSD and I'm good to go

Considering I already have a copy of Windows 10 installer on a USB

[crystal sonnet]

I probably go with 5600x or 5700x because 5800x3D stock is kinda... rare.

that being said, I will need a new 650-800 ish power supply as well as GPU, since I can just keep using my hyper 212 evo for cooling

[vagrant holly]

from a randomly useful youtube short

[gilded inlet]

Neat

[torpid marten]

ok lets discuss

i need to ask

after windows 10 support ends

wharrido

[ruby yarrow]

Go to Windows 11 because it's a free upgrade to that OS

[gilded inlet]

Either continue with it or upgrade to 11

I'll be continuing with it for as long as I possibly can

[subtle hawk]

but like windows 11 ain't that bad

[gilded inlet]

I prefer 10

[subtle hawk]

i prefer macos

[crystal sonnet]

most of the complaints are its almost bloatware-like nature that many users don't need

also the obvious move to cloud so to speak

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

Very bloated

[gilded inlet]

Mmm

[subtle hawk]

how much storage in PC that you can live in comfort for

also if anyone want to do this (again, I don't buy them for ya, me nu hap za muni)

what is your dream PC Specs

[subtle hawk]

I kinda would prefer 2tb at least

But 8tb would be chill

[gilded inlet]

All the storage

Can never have enough storage, and can never have enough ram

[glossy patrol]

I live off of 1TB

[subtle hawk]

Hmmm... 1-2 TB is the current standard of today's time eh

[glossy patrol]

Yes, has been for a while

[mental coyote]

Honestly, with how large games are getting, I'm tempted to go 4 TB.

[slate cape]

Speaking of which, is it better to get 2 TB drives or just one 4tb drive

Which ones more cost effective

[dusky vessel]

4TB seems the best one obv is you're planning to have large modern games sit inside your computer
I still pick 2TB cuz I don't need 4TB lol

also 1TB+ drives is somewhat uncommon in my country

[slate cape]

I got a 2tb Samsung 970 evo plus for around 150 sgd

And eh its not too bad

You're just saving about 20-40 dollars

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

For an SSD larger is fine

Higher TBW, same level of reliability

I don’t know about hard drives tho
2-4tb is a nice spot

[crystal sonnet]

Well, considering that HDD is where I put my legacy games and anime/doujins, I would say 4-8 TB is the sweet spot for me

[subtle hawk]

Fair point

[crystal sonnet]

I'm fine with 500 GB-1TB SSDs because I will wear them to failure

not to mention read-write rates

especially with modern games and software

[hexed citrus]

2 x 2

if one fails you lose half the data

unless you go for redundancy

[crystal sonnet]

I'm kinda leaning towards redundancy

like

4 TB for perhaps lifetime data

2 TB for semi-permanent data

2 TB for easy transports

[subtle hawk]

Hmmm... Oh ok...

[lofty estuary]

Guys i need some advice i want to upgrade my CPU.
CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g
GPU RX 5500XT
Ram: 16gb 3200mhz (2x8gb) Mainboard A320M -k

i thought about the r5 3600

( i bought this PC with 8gb Ram and without the GPU (since i had a APU) and i thought i would only play league of legends. Big mistake .Nox and Bluestacks lag hardcore maybe 30fps and i have stuttering in games like phasmo )

[glossy patrol]

Keep your 2400G and wait to perform a larger upgrade

[hexed citrus]

yeah keep ur setup as is and if you're going for an upgrade then upgrade to DDR5 and the newest chips

the 3600 won't make much of a difference

emulators in general chug because they're emulators

[lofty estuary]

Tbh i only want games to reach 60fps+ on highest settings

[hexed citrus]

if you want smooth performance play them on the device they're intended for, phones

[lofty estuary]

metro exodus is sometimes unplayable on mid/high settings

[hexed citrus]

the CPU won't make it better

you have 5500XT so set your expectations accordingly

[glossy patrol]

Your setup is for mid-high 1080p 60FPS gaming. There will obviously be exceptions to that, games that run worse or way better than such

[hexed citrus]

for example I have a i7-8700K overclocked and a 1080 Ti and that's still more than plenty for most games to run maxxed out

and I don't need to upgrade it for now unless I need more CPU power which I do need for my workloads nowadays

[glossy patrol]

Emulators are always tough. I run Bluestacks on my 6800K and some games are really crappy while others run pretty fine

[lofty estuary]

I was kinda pissed because of the low fps. i compared the r5 3600 with my 2400g and thouhgt of upgrading since its only 80€

[hexed citrus]

not worth

save those 80 euros for a future new CPU

[lofty estuary]

hm fine

[hexed citrus]

like I'd upgrade if you are sure the CPU AND GPU are being bottlenecks to something much better

but keep in mind such an upgrade would cost at least 500 euros since you'll be replacing mobo, RAM, CPU and GPU

[glossy patrol]

GPU would affect FPS most, but then any bottlenecks your CPU may already be showing will be escalated, which could lead to a better but more inconsistent experience

[hexed citrus]

but the improvement in performance and efficiency as well as value is gonna be way better than just a small CPU upgrade

[glossy patrol]

5800X3D (if you can find it cheap AF used), 7600X3D and 7700X3D/7800X3D are probably the three chips I would call worthwhile to upgrade to as a gamer, but all will cost a fair bit. For that cost, you will get a CPU that should last for many years with not a single issue though

[lofty estuary]

https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/0Pl15k/1/general-tasks/1920x1080/

guess ill just save money and buy everything completly new.

[glossy patrol]

Don't bother with some weird ass calculator. You can tell a bottleneck by observing your system for yourself

[hexed citrus]

that is a good plan

[lofty estuary]

Guys i need to drop this story here: I ordered 1x8gb RAM from Amazon. They told me it would come within 2 days. It didnt. After that they told me to wait another 3 days. Didnt come either. They refunded my money and i ordered a new one. 2 days later i get both RAM sticks

[raw mulch]

yeah that happens, and it's funny

[maiden thorn]

Got those sussy dudes two days ago

Still shocked of what they can

If you look for IEMs, this is one of the best choices I've ever met

[slate cape]

What are they?

They look 130+

[maiden thorn]

Tanchjim Oxygen

"279$"

Bought them with 209

They totally do cost their 279

No idea why shops low the price

They can outperform even 850$ IEMs

And my DT 770 Pro and 1770 Pro

[crystal sonnet]

@gilded inlet

[subtle hawk]

looks good

[gilded inlet]

Yo

[gilded inlet]

That happened with me and my TV, but the courier was global express

[subtle hawk]

AUFH

USD?

Or CAD

[maiden thorn]

USD

[maiden thorn]

And they totally worth it till every cent

[subtle hawk]

Hmmmmm

I’ll believe you when my gaming headphones break down

they produce audio

Not great audio, but audio

[subtle hawk]

How so?

What’s so special about it

[maiden thorn]

They play more clear than everything I've ever heard

They completly outperform DT 1770 Pro in everything

[subtle hawk]

I see

But wouldn’t headphones sound better

More space for audio performance

Or whatever it’s called

Stage?

[maiden thorn]

Width of stage?

[subtle hawk]

What does that mean

Sorry I’m not experienced with audio

[maiden thorn]

Well, sorry then, but I want to ask opposite question

What were your the best of headphones you've heard

Usually, when ppl talk about IEMs, they hold apple airdicks 1/2 pro as reference

I'd love to say, stage width is separation of every single sound you hear

Better to experience it yourself, because explanation of this is quiet bent to individual

[subtle hawk]

None

They all sounded ass to me

[maiden thorn]

I can't place my opinion as the truth itself

[subtle hawk]

Fair enough

[maiden thorn]

But as I have this... and it kills both DT 770 and DT 1770 (I guess I will sell them)... I can say those worth anyones' attention

[subtle hawk]

Well uh

Kinda the best sounding stuff I have is the Kanto YU6

Speakers

Not headphones

[maiden thorn]

4 times the price of my headphones

(I compare it in rubles)

[subtle hawk]

😭

But I think they last

Cuz I don’t have to put it over my head

And my ears are waxy

IEMs never fit well

[maiden thorn]

My man, if you are into speakers, and you dislike headphones in existance... better stay with speakers

[maiden thorn]

Oh man, I see... Oxygens have one of the worst ergonomics

[subtle hawk]

😭

[subtle hawk]

Well not that I dislike them

[maiden thorn]

But if they fit – they must meet all the expectations of good IEMs

[subtle hawk]

The ones I had (razer kraken, CCS coffee beans)

Never felt too good

[maiden thorn]

Krakens are too bass-full

The balance sucks badly

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

[maiden thorn]

Highs... I do not remember... everything I remember is that they will hurt ears on high volume

[subtle hawk]

Yes

They will

The kraken was a metal build tho

So I respect that

[maiden thorn]

Idk, to my mind Oxygen has one of the best balances...

[maiden thorn]

As you can see, Oxygens are metal, too

But it makes some trouble due to living in Russian Siberia

-47°C won't make me happy this winter

[subtle hawk]

-47c metal in ears

Literally have to prewarm earbuds

[maiden thorn]

Brain freezes

[subtle hawk]

-1c already got me shivering my timbers

Well it’s free cooling for my devices

They work less

[maiden thorn]

Third day of owning, still "Wow" effect

[subtle hawk]

Not bad not bad

My personal “wow” thing currently is the steam deck

Handheld x64 gaming is such a blessing

[maiden thorn]

Funny thing, it was twice the price on release, even if you convert them in dollars

Remember those 1800$...

Too much even for me

(I'm a student)

(That bought rtx 4080 this autumn)

[subtle hawk]

God

500 bucks and handheld gaming

It’s enough for me

If I really had to I’d run it on my Mac

[maiden thorn]

I won't see this prices anymore 😂

[subtle hawk]

Deck

[maiden thorn]

I have only weak laptop now

[subtle hawk]

😭

[maiden thorn]

It weak as... as Idk what

At least it loads AL

[subtle hawk]

Steam deck powers over your laptop?

Mines can’t do that

Rip

[maiden thorn]

I have 5600H in this laptop

I forgot what Vega is in it

[subtle hawk]

5600h??

Wow my gaming laptop has a 4900hs

That thing exterminates my m2 pro for fun

[maiden thorn]

This HS makes sense when it comes to TDP

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

[maiden thorn]

But when it comes to temps

[subtle hawk]

96c

❤️

[maiden thorn]

It becomes nonsense again

[subtle hawk]

I agree

[maiden thorn]

Lmao

[subtle hawk]

AMD laptops have a horrible cooling system

Even my Mac does better

[maiden thorn]

Engineers of laptops

[subtle hawk]

Mm yeas

[maiden thorn]

It must depend on vendor, I'd like to say

[subtle hawk]

Asus rog

G15 GA502

The one with the blocked vents

Never let asus cook up products

They suck

[maiden thorn]

They do not change cooling system with CPUs

Though, they are too stupid to put Vapor Chamber in it

[subtle hawk]

35wCPU + 65wGPU isn’t a lot

But yet it has to throttle

[maiden thorn]

Like Lenovo did with their Legions 7 (16IAX7) and now both: some 7th and 9th

The problem is the price

I'd love to buy (was like to buy, dollar to ruble ratio suck now) Legion 7 16IAX7 year ago

Glad I did my choice to rtx 4080 in my PC

gorgeous thing

But it's 1058km from me now

Flex from afar...

... I bought 4080 to sit in AL

...

[subtle hawk]

😭

The fun

I delete files off of the deck to see how far I can go without it dying

[maiden thorn]

Although, man, if you have money and you want good IEMs, better sell krakens and get Oxygens, solving the problem of fitting with KBEAR's tips on the nozzels

[subtle hawk]

Fair enough

I’ll save up for some IEMs next

[maiden thorn]

I'm sure they won't disappoint.

[subtle hawk]

Hey but 269USD is a high bar for me rn

I dumped a lot into the deck

It took me quite a long time to save up (~1 year?)

It was an impulse purchase after all

[maiden thorn]

I can deal with one shop in aliexpress

They will do 60$ off

As I've done with mine

To my mind, they still have no rights to play better than 850$ segment

But they freaking do.

[subtle hawk]

[maiden thorn]

Though, watch others' opinion on them, if you decide to buy those.

https://youtu.be/DSQC3usDqww?si=be5EkNN1rpi9pm2m
https://youtu.be/HkdwMqa_jA0?si=5zVKzaHwkVn_Qb97
These two represent my opinion as a mirror

[subtle hawk]

Thanks 🙏

[maiden thorn]

(This looks like #@%^@& ad, but I'd love everyone to have those)

I did not have such impressions even after hearing sennheiser HD800s

[subtle hawk]

They must be good good

[subtle hawk]

Waxy ears?
I tend to have them

Also are those TWS?

Nah, I prefer wired ones

[subtle hawk]

Those are wired

Take a look

[subtle hawk]

ok

[glossy patrol]

That's not weak
Sorry

[glossy patrol]

Not how that works at all

You mean you bought a laptop with shit cooling

AKA a shit laptop

[median elk]

Eyy yoo is thicker thermal pads effecting how it's work?

[glossy patrol]

What thickness thermal pad you need depends very specifically on the model of laptop/GPU and exactly where that pad is being put

[maiden thorn]

Lmao, I have the right to say so, just because of i9 9900K in my PC

[glossy patrol]

No you don't have a "right" to say so

That 5600H isn't that far off a 9900K while drawing a fraction of the power lmaoooo

[subtle hawk]

Huh?

Many AMD laptops have shitty cooling

[glossy patrol]

Okay, and?

Intel ones do too

It has nothing to do with AMD

It's to do with the laptop

My laptop has awful cooling
It's not Intel's or NVidia's fault

[lilac spindle]

it's generally because most fucking laptop manufacturers generally don't put as much thought into the chassis design of AMD laptops over Intel laptops

[glossy patrol]

Lmao no it isn't

What a random ass take with absolutely no basis

Fun fact: many manufacturers re-use chassis designs for both AMD and Intel variants of a laptop, and even across generations

"This laptop has shit cooling"
Yeah, because the laptop is shit, not due to AMD who actually have amazing mobile chips as of late

[lilac spindle]

AMD chips are great, laptop manufacturers with their chassis not so much

[glossy patrol]

There are AMD laptops with good cooling and AMD laptops with bad cooling
There are Intel laptops with good cooling and Intel laptopss with bad cooling
It has nothing to do with manufacterers deciding to put an AMD chip in their laptop and going "Eh you know what, fuck this, let's just give it a crap cooling system because why not"

Genuine mental gymnastics

[lilac spindle]

I'm not saying that OEMs are doing it out of malice. It's just that AMD compared to Intel has been piss poor at giving OEMs technical support. Coupled with AMD being well known for having supply issues with mobile chips and you can see why laptops with OEMs tend to give lesser care to AMD laptop platforms.

AMD Advantage was a good start in helping OEMs design for AMD, but they still have to fix their supply issue or else OEMs won't bother as much with AMD models because why design a good laptop if supply of chips for said laptops are almost always hard to find

[glossy patrol]

[lilac spindle]

Which brings me to one thing I hate about AMD laptops. The good models are almost always out of fucking stock due to AMD's poor supply for the mobile market. For AMD it kind of makes sense tho: Why focus on the relatively low margin high volume mobile market vs high margin currently high demand enterprise and datacenter market.

[subtle hawk]

ittx is a really good troll

[subtle hawk]

They’re out of stock?

Most the time I just see laptops sitting there

Neglected

I get the love for the AMD chipsets, because I also like them

It’s unfortunate that it’s being put into laptops that have shitty cooling

[glossy patrol]

Please wake up

[glossy patrol]

Please wake up

[subtle hawk]

Lmfao

Well for me the only exception is the steam deck

Surprisingly good cooling

TDP limited 15W @ 70C

[keen lotus]

could also say your 9900K is weak cause i have a better CPU

[subtle hawk]

😭

[keen lotus]

i think this problem affects both parties, you run into power/thermal throttling on almost every gaming laptop extremely easily

ASUS for example, while they dont thermal throttle (in my experience) they power throttle extremely early and pretty much handicap the CPU regardless of whether its on AMD or intel platforms

boards supply the CPU with too much voltage aswell, which also affects the desktop market, but its less worse on the mobile market

[lilac spindle]

Oh right boards supplying too much voltage

Most manufacturers tend to just go for the safest default that won't cause too much instability

which in most cases imo is just a tad bit high

[keen lotus]

it can be looked at two ways, you need more voltage than usual to ensure stability because not every CPU performs the same

but most of the time its way too much

[keen lotus]

yes

[maiden thorn]

Well, it was on release when I came up with building a computer. i9 9900K was the best solution back then

Now I'll wait for 19900K release and then I will watch who can offer me best performance; AMD or Intel

CPU performance is useless for me now

[keen lotus]

its an interesting competition at the moment considering both have architectural differences in them, and one draws as much as a space heater while the other one draws half as much

[maiden thorn]

I have enough of it since everything I do is packaging ZIPs etc

[subtle hawk]

No wonder why

You need a cpu

[lilac spindle]

isn't AMD planning their own Heterogenous architecture as well?

[keen lotus]

no clue, i dont really read that much about AMD lol

[lilac spindle]

I'm interested how'd they go over it on the consumer space since afaik they're testing it out on EPYC

[maiden thorn]

I don't care, because my second project, as the first was, will be on custom water cooling system

While I do care how much it will cost

[maiden thorn]

Better to hear if you do have a better GPU :/

[keen lotus]

ive been thinking of going custom water cooling myself aswell but the cost is driving me away from it, and knowing how much i tinker it's gonna likely be a pain in the ass in the long run

[keen lotus]

idk what GPU you have lol

[maiden thorn]

4080

[keen lotus]

i am running a overclocked 4090

[maiden thorn]

Overclocked...

[keen lotus]

yes

[subtle hawk]

500W

[maiden thorn]

I did undervolt it

[subtle hawk]

I think more

[keen lotus]

depends on the load but yeah somewhat

[lilac spindle]

I was gonna ask if it was a KINGPIN card then I remembered EVGA doesn't make cards anymore

[keen lotus]

nah, its a founders one lol

[maiden thorn]

Giving it 270W

[lilac spindle]

Ooo

not a dedicated overclocking card

[keen lotus]

i did try undervolting aswell, think mine averaged in around 320W or so

[keen lotus]

indeed, it took a while to save up for a single 4090 let alone two of them lol

[maiden thorn]

Idk undervolting is the best feature of RTX4000 series

[lilac spindle]

Wait 2? What you need 2 for?

What's your workload like

[keen lotus]

i dont need two of them, but i dont have a need for a dedicated overclocking card

[keen lotus]

mainly 4k gaming, with the occasional blender rendering

[subtle hawk]

He’s a pro at gaming

[keen lotus]

its overkill regardless, and stupidly fast in blender as i dont do much complicated stuff

[lilac spindle]

with how games are being released now, a 4090 will be minimum for 4k in 3 years lol

[maiden thorn]

First build was like this... I was like, eh... 14 y.o. while building it by myself

[keen lotus]

with cities skylines 2 i felt like my 4090 was suddenly equivalent to integrated graphics

[lilac spindle]

What case is that

I've been trying to find a case that has more than 2 3.5in drive slots

that still has a glass panel

[keen lotus]

i like that GPU block lol

[maiden thorn]

Corsair graphite 760T, it was my dream to have this case since my the most favorite let's player had it

I was silly I know

[maiden thorn]

It was 2080S

[keen lotus]

god damn

[maiden thorn]

I'm still proud of my PSU

It will never die in terms of value

Seasonic prime ultra 80+ Titanium 1kW

12 years of warranty...

That does not work since that dirty shitty war

[keen lotus]

thats a high quality one lol

[lilac spindle]

wait you got a Prime Ultra 1000w? damn

[maiden thorn]

if you wanna compare

[lilac spindle]

that fucking

83amps on the 12V rail

[maiden thorn]

I' pretty much sure it will supply 1200W system at ease

[keen lotus]

not sure how much mine can actually handle, but i have hit close to the supposed rating a few times

[maiden thorn]

What's your PSU

[keen lotus]

corsair hx1000i

80+ platinum iirc

its the v2 model

[maiden thorn]

I hope they stoppeddoing weird things with their PSUs

[keen lotus]

wdym?

[maiden thorn]

https://youtu.be/csfTNs-ywVY?si=Sodu9LEQyjhjz1U1

That's not yours, but close one

4:39

[keen lotus]

older unit, maybe its different on V2's

dunno

doesnt bother me

i could swap it out if i have a PSU failure again, but itll probably be fine

[maiden thorn]

I think so

Tho, I bought it from Germany

Since in Russia it was ×2,5 price

I hate this prices

And now I can't buy anything from Europe X(

[keen lotus]

jfc

[maiden thorn]

Idk what it means

()

[keen lotus]

it means jesus fucking christ

[maiden thorn]

Yeah

I totally agree

I made calculations back then

"If I buy all components in Russia"

It could cost me 740 000₽

But I did it with 350К₽

[keen lotus]

i was about to ask the hell were you building that would cost you that much but to count in that 2.5x pricing, it’s insane lol

[maiden thorn]

Difference in dollars

Dollar was 67 back then

[keen lotus]

seems pretty fucked over there, sorry to hear that

[maiden thorn]

Man I've killed the system

Nothing to sorry about here

People are okay with this prices, they eat whatever shops give to them

[keen lotus]

they dont really have a choice, so they just kinda have to accept it i suppose

[maiden thorn]

I did not

But now even I do not have the choice

Compday is dead for Russians

Oh

Sorry

I mistaken the shops

[keen lotus]

huh?

[maiden thorn]

ComputerUniverse is dead for Russians

[keen lotus]

ooh

[maiden thorn]

Compday still works just because it's russian shop... that somehow held MSRPs when it was scalpers period

I still remember that 3080 for 356 000₽...

5 000$ (dollar was 72)

[keen lotus]

a friend of mine bought a 3080 ti back in scalper days for 2100 euros

[maiden thorn]

Oh, I made a mistake, 343 000₽ (4 763$)

I was without GPU for all the time of scalping period

[keen lotus]

holy moly

[maiden thorn]

I sold my 2080S just before the release of RTX3000 series

In hope to buy new 3080

How stupid I was

Two years without GPU were hell of 400×300 resolution

On 27" 2560×1440p monitor

It was better than Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 on release of the game

same energy

[subtle hawk]

Never sell

[maiden thorn]

That's true!

[subtle hawk]

Resell value of anything is worse than you just using it

[subtle hawk]

400x300 is horror

[glossy patrol]

I'm still using the good ol' CX550 (grey label of course). It just sucks that it's non-modular, the one and only issue w/ it as a unit

[subtle hawk]

Corsair is good

[subtle hawk]

oh yeah @maiden thorn currently i use the speakers built into the macbook

imo they're very nice

ofc they can't replace anything

but it does sound nice (2023 m2 pro 14")

[maiden thorn]

I never ever heard how a macbook sound

Only thing I got freaked out with is airpods 2 pro connected to iphone 13

The sound was dirty, it gave me no expressions at all

So, I have no big expectations for any of apple audio devices

dies due price

~2600$ for minimum of storage and RAM

For work out of home it can be great solution I guess

I wonder what do you do on this laptop

What exceptional it can offer you to make you choose macbook over other laptops

(I'm very "neutral" to apple devices)

[glossy patrol]

MacOS
Extremely light
Sleek and minimal
Silent
Highly performant in particularly CPU tasks
Great battery life for its performance

[maiden thorn]

I won't disagree

[subtle hawk]

Thing is

16gb of ram on macOS is a lot

I always thought AirPods sounded good

That’s how bad the gaming headphones were

But yeah I’d advise not to get a MacBook unless you really need that battery life

And there’s MacOS apps of the things you need

My MacBook has been on the same table, same spot for like 4 months now

[maiden thorn]

I used to 32Gb (I know I'm fat face)

[subtle hawk]

I used to have 16 I think

On all my laptops

Optimization can’t beat brute forcing tho

[maiden thorn]

16 was meta until cockwarts legacy entered the chat

[subtle hawk]

So if you need 32gb take 32gb

But I don’t game like that

[maiden thorn]

Macs aren't for gayming X(

Macs are for work

[subtle hawk]

Unless you try very hard

I got genshin and deep rock running

[maiden thorn]

[subtle hawk]

Not great

But running

AL too

Used to use this laptop to grind that game

[maiden thorn]

Give me at least 480Hz display for GD and those 480 fps minimum

[subtle hawk]

Jesus Christ

I have 120hz only

Gaming is fine on battery

It drops hard tho

I remember the game start struggling when battery percentage entered 3%

[maiden thorn]

I share game time on grind games with Geometry Dash in parallel

[subtle hawk]

You’re grindy

I just play DRG and genshin for fun

Which is why I really never cared if it ran bad

[maiden thorn]

And still game engine sucks: more fps you get – the easier the game (usually)

So, 360+Hz is musthave in the game (fps is bent to display refresh rate)

++

[subtle hawk]

It never runs well tho

DRG keeps frame dropped

[maiden thorn]

Over 3000 hours in a platformer

[maiden thorn]

I suck

[subtle hawk]

What

I only got 120h most in a game

And that’s from me idling

GTA online obviously

[maiden thorn]

Hey man

I play gta online, too

Around 700 hrs

[subtle hawk]

Quite

Wow

[maiden thorn]

Wanna play together?

[maiden thorn]

That was the best rejection I've ever heard

[subtle hawk]

Sorry

I can’t

[subtle hawk]

Nah I just don’t have notifications on

Cuz I cycle between many servers

It takes sometimes a few hours or days to view messages

[subtle hawk]

Why? I don’t want to install the rockstar launcher

• I game only on the steam deck

[subtle hawk]

But if you have DRG we can play together

That’s the only game I play nowadays
