technology

[weak lintel]

not the 500x

[subtle hawk]

and then regret their decision

[weak lintel]

naah

[subtle hawk]

AMD doesn't know how to compete in the graphics market

their only main income is from consoles and apple

[weak lintel]

how u said is like green plebs lmao

[subtle hawk]

if AMD had some decent truly high end cards and good drivers they would hands down take nvidia off the top spot

but as it stands rn AMD is just a gimmick

good on paper

bad in practice

[weak lintel]

from where u got bad decision of buying RX 5700?

4chan?

I got in for many tech forums, they're legit satisfied

[subtle hawk]

people that I know

also being in tech forums doesn't give any validity to your claims

[weak lintel]

so does what u got from ur friends lmao

[subtle hawk]

if 20 people complain about something from a specific series of cards it's not a coincidence

[weak lintel]

if 80 ppl satisfied from specific cards, it not a coincidence aswell

[subtle hawk]

80 people satisfied is nothing

I can find 80 people be satisfied of the VII

doesn't change the fact that it's a meme card

[weak lintel]

yeah whaever u said green pleb

[subtle hawk]

typical of fanbois

resort to calling names when they can't prove their point

[weak lintel]

Im not want getting my 1050Ti again since it failed to competiting performance to 570

and last thing white knight Nvidia exist

[subtle hawk]

what about 1650

also I can't find RX 570 with 75W TDP and no PCI power plugs

[maiden plume]

I like the fact that this room goes from dead to 100 depending on the topic As for nvidia drivers, there is evidence of them gimping older cards. Like voltage limits and custom vbios posting code 43s for maxwell cards lol. As for any latest atrocities IDK

[subtle hawk]

yikes this channel

[bleak owl]

I don't think power consumption is a problem lol

resort to calling names when they can't prove their point
@subtle hawk thats u lol

We give the right info u still think amd gpu is shit

And the VII can be classified as prototype

[subtle hawk]

suuuuuure

prototype that is released to the wide market

[bleak owl]

Well we can talk about the 1650

Same performance as 1050ti

Released to the wide market

[subtle hawk]

that was a idiotic move by nvidia that bit them in the ass

thinking people will buy a refresh

[bleak owl]

And how about when Nvidia released the Turing gpu and had to take back bcs of faulty chip and ofc guarantee was gone

[quartz atlas]

Nvida making bad decisions doesn't change the fact that amd has shit gpus

[bleak owl]

Amd can make bad decisions too

[buoyant egret]

[lunar patrol]

you can say AMD is good all you want but the fact that nvidia could launch turing at the insane prices they did is the only proof you need that AMD was nowhere near competitive. when AMD finally had good competition (2 years later) with the RX 5000-series, then nvidia actually lowered prices (see: 2060 price drop vs 5600xt bios update debacle)

i use linux and i hate nvidia as a company bc of how much they shafted linux nvidia drivers, but AMD does not have a good track record of GPUs. vega and radeon VII were hyped to shit and they turned out terrible

i want AMD to make a comeback with big navi like they did in CPUs with ryzen but i don't have much hope for them

[buoyant egret]

I currently use Nvidia but thinking of AMD next

Nvidia has better texture and physics, AMD has better color

[severe falcon]

i got burned by amd drivers when i paid $60 to pre-order just cause 3, only for them to drop driver support a week before it came out, and then not a single AMD card could physically run JC3 at more than 10 fps. so they had to do a driver hotfix for all cards except the like 50 that they dropped support for the previous week

[bleak owl]

Huh

[quartz atlas]

Nvidia has better texture and physics, AMD has better color
@buoyant egret if reported leaks and estimates are anything to go by, nvda next gen will absolutely crush anything amd could come up with by a long shot and wym btr color, 3rd party cards dont have a color that you like?

[severe falcon]

paint it

[buoyant egret]

By color, I meant the color of the graphics

[quartz atlas]

what?

[severe falcon]

what

tf does that mean

[quartz atlas]

can you elaborate color of graphics?

because i am so utterly confused rn

[buoyant egret]

The actual color of the screen

[severe falcon]

uhhh

you DO realize that the monitor is only thing that affects screen color right?

[teal shale]

wtf graphics color

[severe falcon]

changing graphics card will not affect the color on your screen

[vital juniper]

[vital juniper]

[severe falcon]

you do know that yama runs the bot that can ban you right?

[buoyant egret]

Stop calling me Maine! That’s not my 🤬 name!

[stone wave]

Remember the Maine!

[buoyant egret]

St🤬u

[quartz atlas]

yama can ban without bot

he has admin override

[severe falcon]

yeah but he can do it without a trace through the bot

[frigid mesa]

i doubt he's a coward though

[subtle hawk]

I don't need to talk to walls

a.k.a fanbois

for what @lunar patrol8 said

for actual display drivers the nvidia ones on linux are god damn terrible

then again AMD ones aren't great either

it's basically lesser of 2 evils

for rendering and other GPU accelerated workloads doe the nvidia drivers are better

even on linux

[quartz atlas]

yeah but he can do it without a trace through the bot
@severe falcon even if the bot bans someone, its still in audit log. there'll always be a trace

[bleak owl]

A.k.a fanbois, Yamato one of them

[quartz atlas]

[vagrant holly]

cg geek ran a bench on rendering with linux

[severe falcon]

yes but fish, i assume the audit logs say that nimi banned them

[quartz atlas]

yups

[vagrant holly]

it's much faster than windows

[severe falcon]

yeah so you will know nimi did it, but not who told her to

[quartz atlas]

only yama has access to her without commands

[severe falcon]

true

[subtle hawk]

also I have a collection of both AMD and nvidia cards going back to 2005 cards

[severe falcon]

tfw shaw bot joins for 12 ms just to ban someone and then leaves

[vagrant holly]

telling the truth is bound to make you look like a fanboy no matter what
amd is better? say amd is better >amd fanboy
nvidia is better? say nvidia is better >nvidia fanboy

But not all of them are right

Idc about fanboyism, everyone is free to think that a brand is better than the other, the only thing that is pissing me off Is Ppl is saying amd cards are shit without any context

[violet nexus]

sfp

[subtle hawk]

so optical

[violet nexus]

maybe ill try to study the basics of them once quarantine ends

[stone wave]

moved my desk so i had to readjust all my spaghetti
only took like 2.5 hours...

[lunar patrol]

@stone wave is that the /dev/tty keycap set

[stone wave]

yea

[lunar patrol]

nice, got the same set

[stone wave]

[subtle hawk]

@lunar patrol why are there so few keys

are you typing in chords

or what's that called

[stone wave]

i think its elvish

(no really)

and its a split ortho layout keyboard

[subtle hawk]

so where do '[]\ and top row go

[stone wave]

layers/modifiers

[lunar patrol]

typing in chords is the only way to type

I'm a cs student so I actually gave []{} their own dedicated keys on the thumb cluster

LWR button turns home row into numbers, RSE turns the home row into their respective shift+num symbols

other symbols on top or bottom row LWR/RSE layers as I felt like it when I made the layout

[subtle hawk]

ah

meanwhile I'm still using shitty bluetooth keyboard

[stone wave]

if you can solder you can probably cobble together a cheap kit

though i'd probably hold off with the COVID-19 situation kinda messing with supply and shipping

[subtle hawk]

I can solder

[stone wave]

You have to look around but here's one KDB has a 65 key kit that's $85 USD if you choose the base options (plastic case, aluminum plate) https://kbdfans.com/collections/diy-kit/products/dz68rgb-customize-keyboard-diy-kit?variant=28550375243824

but you'll have to get the switches and caps separately

60% keyboards are cheaper

eBay should yield some results on that front

if you do buy a kit make sure the PCB comes with stabilizers otherwise you'll have to order them separately

[lunar patrol]

imo it's not really worth building your own kb (outside of fun/learning purposes ofc) unless you're doing one of 1. making an uncommon form factor 2. using non-mainstream switches 3. using premium materials (i.e. aluminum/steel/titanium case) 4. flashing a unique QMK layout

if you're interested in getting a common form factor with mainstream switches then you can get a mass produced mech kb for much cheaper than you could ever build one

[subtle hawk]

yep

I do have a mech but it's at my dorm

I live in my house during lock down

[stone wave]

once you start getting picky with your preference it's bad

Tape is the way to go. + 5 FPS easy.

[tame topaz]

How do I convince my parents to let me buy a better PSU

It's sorta redlining at full load

And it's normal 80 plus so not that efficient

[lunar patrol]

tell them that your PC is going to burn the fucking house down bc of your current shit PSU

[teal shale]

That could go 2 ways

They give him the PSU he needs

Or they ban him for playing on the pc

[vagrant holly]

that tape definitely boosting your cpu by .2 GHz

it's like those stickers they give you with the parts you put on your pc

it's common knowledge those give you .3 GHz per sticker

[quartz atlas]

or go work for a day and get the money to buy the psu yourself

I still remember it relatively consuming lots of power

[stone wave]

holy shit G Hub is hot fucking garbage, can't even find the goddamn DPI settings

[teal shale]

Bruh imagine using a gaming mouse and a mousepad

im using a generic mouse that came with an HP Omni 100 and the table itself

[stone wave]

my mouse pad costs more than my mouse

[lunar patrol]

imagine using a $100 mousepad to avoid charging your mouse every week

[stone wave]

i never said it was a smart purchasing option

[gloomy tinsel]

But is it good to trade in my iPhone 8 plus to 2020 SE?

Rly still wanted that 5.5 but this goes 4.7 Inc

[subtle hawk]

ngl gaming mouse on a pad is smooth af

but yeah imagine spending over $100 on a pad just for RGB and wireless charging

[subtle hawk]

@stone wave you open the mouse settings and there's the DPI tab

how is that hard?

[stone wave]

i figured it out

or rather after a few restarts the program added the fucking option

this fucking thing was missing when i installed it

thats why i was scratching my head

[subtle hawk]

wdym it's always there for mice

[stone wave]

thats why i was confused earlier

cause i know where it was supposed to be

[subtle hawk]

imagine having to set DPI in software

[stone wave]

also need it for key binds

and on-the-fly dpi changing

[restive rover]

Does the G Hub supports the old hardware like G102 Prodigy Gaming Mouse?

I know that G Hub is optimized for the latest Logitech peripherals

[subtle hawk]

probably

if the old logitech software did I think so does the new one

[restive rover]

Oh, ok then. Thanks for the info

[subtle hawk]

re: earlier

this is a big reason why I like peripherals that don't require any bullshit external software

my zowie divina s1 is plug and play with straightforward polling & DPI buttons underneath and that's all I need

[stone wave]

I think what happened was the download gave an old version and I had to let it update or some shit.

Cause normally i never really have any issues with it.

[subtle hawk]

they all have onboard profiles out of the box @subtle hawk

it's not like ur zowie doesn't have software for fine control

[buoyant egret]

How do y’all rank Sony audio equipment?

I love my Sony earbuds

Am a huge Sony fan here

[subtle hawk]

nothing special about them

[buoyant egret]

Go to sleep Yamato

My Sonys are really durable and have high bass

[subtle hawk]

queue up it's all about that base

but if seriously then a more clearer sound is better than a base-y one

in the end it's up to preference

[buoyant egret]

Implying that it’s not clear

It’s bassy but in the right way

It has the perfect amount of bass in it

So yeah, it’s very clear with the right amount of bass

@restive rover It's available worldwide. One guy from France does that and they ship stickers from the UK.

I have a small selection of blu ray movies that ive been meaning to drop off at a Goodwill or whatever

I guess it's good for renting at a Red Box kiosk or w/e.

or just get a private tracker lmao

[buoyant egret]

I buy of my movies on blu ray, only time I buy digital is if it’s included in the blu ray

I miss the THX logo you see before the movie starts, that was very common in the 2000s

[stone wave]

yeah i just grab h.265 encodes

[desert olive]

Anything notable about h265 encodes? I find h264 okay and it's more widely supported across devices

[stone wave]

usually if 2 files are of the same quality the h265 encoded one will be smaller, and if they're both the same size the h265 will be of better quality

that is, provided the file was encoded properly

the downside is h265 has less device support than the more widespread h264 encoding, but up to date apps and video players ought to handle it just fine, though decoding it (playback) requires more processing power

and encoding a video to h265 takes longer than h264

it's so sick that it's fully mechanical

While not a teletype, my favorite device of this nature has to be the IBM Selectric, that ball mechanism is pretty darn fascinating to me.

https://gfycat.com/portlyfreeangelfish

[vagrant holly]

that's pretty cool

probably pretty expensive and tedious if it breaks tho

since it's pretty much just that one piece which is the whole thing

[stone wave]

IIRC IBM has specifically trained technicians to field the Selectrics.

[vagrant holly]

it does look pretty unique

[stone wave]

The Selectric held more than a 50% market share for typewriters in the US until like the 80's.

[vagrant holly]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNUEUth7qjc

that's pretty sick

you can just replace the ball to select different fonts or whatever

[stone wave]

yeah and the ball requires a smaller throw than the more traditional type writers

and it's old school IBM too

so i'd bet that thing weighs more than 50 lbs.

or 22.5 kg

[severe falcon]

wait, is the ball specific to selectrics?

cuz if so i think we have one at my work

I've heard of this since yesterday but damn TF2 and CS:GO's source codes has been leaked.

Both having a build date of Fall 2017

CS:GO may be safe as it has been updated regularly, TF2 isn't. It may be unsafe to play that game in coming months.

[severe falcon]

its already completely unsafe to play rn

[desert olive]

More like annoying to play with since cheaters can only crash servers at the most part.

[severe falcon]

uhh with the leaks, it was found that the server hosts can literally execute any code on your machine just because you are connected

so like giving you viruses or deleting all your items

[desert olive]

Someone from VNN's group went rogue. That's the gist of it.

[severe falcon]

yeah

[desert olive]

VNN has no comment and Valve is yet to respond.

Feels like the HL2 beta leak again

But yeah, it is more unsafe now since the source code was publicized.

[desert olive]

Some additional stuff, source codes was leaked already. However they managed to contain it and not get publicized.

[desert olive]

https://twitter.com/CSGO/status/1253075594901774336?s=20

CS:GO (@CSGO)

We have reviewed the leaked code and believe it to be a reposting of a limited CS:GO engine code depot released to partners in late 2017, and originally leaked in 2018. From this review, we have not found any reason for players to be alarmed or avoid the current builds.

man that de looks clean

I still love kde though

any of you linux users have an alternative to bluestacks/nox? I've just been using the Android Studio emulator. Tried anbox and android x86 in a vm and none of that worked with azur lane. Just crashes or does nothing.

[subtle hawk]

that's the thing on linux

there is no clear emulator for android

you can install one in a VM but you won't have touch input

[signal trellis]

yea kinda a bummer. anbox is the closest thing but it's really broken

the android studio one works really well though... until you have two instances... otherwise the only downside is not being able to use a controller

[restive rover]

What if...
You have to install a Windows 10 VM inside Linux and then install Nox inside the VM but I prolly it doesn't work

[buoyant egret]

@signal trellis Is that a Macintosh?

[subtle hawk]

that's linux

[restive rover]

What distro?

[subtle hawk]

most likely ubuntu or gentoo

[restive rover]

Oh, KDE

No, it's KDE

Ubuntu has different UI

Gentoo is... Haven't heard that

[buoyant egret]

Linux

😟

Steve Jobs ain’t gonna be happy!

[lunar patrol]

@signal trellis I use genymotion for android VM on linux. It is much more responsive than a straight android x86 VM in my experience, and supports arm through a translation layer. I run AL at a stable 60fps with an R5 3600 and gtx 1060

it uses virtualbox as its hypervisor so you'll have to settle for using vbox as your hypervisor for everything on your desktop

this doesn't bother me as I have a dedicated server for VMs and I don't run any on my desktop, but if you're already settled on KVM/libvirt or any other type-2 hypervisor then it'll be pretty difficult to switch

[buoyant egret]

I tried installing linux a few times

I failed

[restive rover]

Oof

I have my PC dual boot for Windows 10 and elementary OS

[buoyant egret]

It says I need some sort of USPB stick

But even then I failed

[restive rover]

It can be a tedious task to setup another OS

But if you know your workarounds then you have no problem setting it up

[buoyant egret]

Lol

[signal trellis]

@restive rover Manjaro

Ubuntu has a kde version. Don't remember if it's official but it's called Kubuntu

@lunar patrol I thought that was a paid service. Or is it free?

[lunar patrol]

@signal trellis you may pay for it as a service if you wish (mostly intended for actual devs working on android apps), but the standalone local program for personal use is free

feel free to DM me if you have questions setting it up but it's been a pretty painless setup process on arch-based distros in my experience

[restive rover]

Manjaro...

So it's an Arch-based distro, ranked 6th on FOSS for year 2020, and a simple OS that has friendly UI than Arch Linux as people say on the internet and "works-out-of-the-box".

[subtle hawk]

@restive rover KDE is a DE not a distro

FOSS

every time I hear that I'm a little triggered

[subtle hawk]

FlOSS

[signal trellis]

Manjaro is basically Arch but not scary to install

[subtle hawk]

arch isn't scary

[restive rover]

Malware is scary, so does getting infected on Windows

[subtle hawk]

it's not that bad

if you know what you're doing

and it's not like linux or mac are any safer

[restive rover]

Well to me I'm safe when using Linux from local malware that is spreading around me that they don't even know to take care of it

Like, I'm tired of going to the %appdata% to remove that JavaScript malware on other computers that makes shortcut to any external drives

[subtle hawk]

vb is not javascript

[restive rover]

wait, is it JavaScript?

Oh, no I was wrong.

It was a VBScript / WScript, something like that

When you double click the shortcut on the flashdrive, it gets executed and uses the hidden .bak file and creates it's own directory on %appdata% where the malware resides and hides it's own folder.

It's been 6 years that the malware is still around on my place

[subtle hawk]

that thing is old

and easy to circumvent

it's not technically malware since the only thing it does is be a nuisance

and you can purge it by just scanning all the infected pcs

and scan all removable devices before opening a shortcut

[restive rover]

scan all removable devices before opening a shortcut
One problem to that to those other users... They don't even know how to use an AV

Buy parts and ask your local store to build it for cable management might be better and cheaper

In case you don’t wanna build it yourself

They usually charge like $20-30

[stone wave]

Speaking of prebuilts I do like the Ghost Canyon NUC, NGL.

[lunar patrol]

the new ghost canyon nuc (5L volume) is way too expensive for what it is, especially since you can build a full sffpc with a full-size GPU (velka 5: 5.7L) that's barely bigger, or an itx GPU sffpc (velka 3: 4L) that's smaller

both of these builds are cheaper than the ghost canyon by a good margin and can perform seriously better since they use standard desktop parts and not a meme machine mobile cpu

[stone wave]

haha hell yeah they're over priced

[subtle hawk]

What do you guys think the AL SQL schema looks like? Or do you think they use some no-SQL DB?

[quartz atlas]

[vagrant holly]

[subtle hawk]

the game storage medium is secret

[buoyant egret]

Although I’m an IOS person, I’m getting jealous of Android users being able to run two apps at the same time

Playing Azur Lane Arknights while watching a video, texting, ect

[subtle hawk]

that's something open source software and ecosystem can achieve

besides iOS can do it*

*if you have a iPad

[teal shale]

Bruh

Dont worry fellow ios person

We have the most powerful chip

And a cheap model coming with said powerful chip

[buoyant egret]

Yeah

IOS user since 2010

I used to play Angry Birds a lot when I was younger

Is Angry Birds still relevant anymore?

It used to be one of the top apps

[subtle hawk]

most powerful chip

tell intel that

see where they are now

[buoyant egret]

I think even for mobile, Apple chips are not the most powerful

Yamato, what phone you use?

[subtle hawk]

S10+

yes apple's silicone is only powerful running iOS

so it's not a apples to apples comparison

[subtle hawk]

I think it lost to flagship snapdragon for phones

most of the time

in what? mobile benches?

yeah

it's like me trying to compare a pc with a macbook

one running windows

one running mac os

right

it's not a true proper benchmark

not to mention that most of apple's chips are full of all kinds of extra stuff

apple just has the advantage that they control the entire process

while on a android device the only thing the manufacturer can control is software and design

most chips are build for a wide variety of applications

while apple makes all of them purpose built

[buoyant egret]

I plan to get a Samsung soon

[restive rover]

To me, Apple's iOS excels in productivity while Android is for, "gaming" I guess?

I never had or own an iPhone.

[desert olive]

source engine code leaked
well fuck it might as well run it through the ground

[teal shale]

Linus on gmod

what he gonna tip tho

[gloomy tinsel]

@restive rover I prefer iPhone as Gaming phone because of its constant fps
Meanwhile android have so much variant (You better go for flagship phones on Android it's usable for next 2 - 4 year in its optimal performance)
And the minimum Processor on Android is snap 720G for now if you want to buy android device
And Apple A11 but some iPad like 10.2inc have compressor for more performance

(ipad 10.2 Inc have A10 chip with compressor)

And yes you can't compare IOS Benchmark and Android Benchmark
But this is the minimum iPhone series you can buy in 2020 (Xr,iPhone 8/ you can just go for SE 2020 if you're not going for the 8 plus version)

If you have money just go for the iPhone 11

[restive rover]

If you have money just go for the iPhone 11
No

But if I want to have an iPhone, I would rather go with iPhone 7 because, camera is nice and has IOS for video recording.

I prefer iPhone as Gaming phone because of its constant fps
Yeah, I remember something that the iPhone doesn't get throttled down even at high temps

[zinc meadow]

installed the game on a snapdragon 865 phone and now the loading times go zoooom (had 845 before)

[gloomy tinsel]

Yes you can just try compare it with the first blackshark, second gen blackshark, and third gen Blackshark
They use 845,855+,865

Every gen have like 20% performance boost tho

@restive roverI would say iPhone 7 isn't that good now for gaming. But fps is still stable if you just play games but it will a bit frame drops if you go on hot drops in PUBGM

[subtle hawk]

one thing iphones lack that most android flagships don't

is high refresh rate displays

[gloomy tinsel]

Yes that one but there is no touch delay on the screen

And responsive

[buoyant egret]

@subtle hawk What do you think of iPhones?

[restive rover]

I don't game much on mobile since I'm a PCMR (well, with an exception to Azur Lane).

[gloomy tinsel]

But most flagship android phone Now has the 120hz touch sensing

[subtle hawk]

they're too expensive for what they give

and break too easily

with apple giving you the middle finger if u want to repair it

[buoyant egret]

O O F

I’m an iPhone user

[gloomy tinsel]

Remember when I want to fix my MacBook it just have a cable that's not connected properly.
Cost 1200 and I said no. I bring it to my friend

Like they said the battery and motherboard problem. But it's totally the battery cable connector doesn't connect properly

[buoyant egret]

I have a PC and a Mac

[gloomy tinsel]

Well iPhone SE 2020 experience so far is
Feels like playing on iPhone 8 but with high boost chipset
And it's rather cheap

[buoyant egret]

PC is better obviously

[subtle hawk]

that's the reality of a closed ecosystem

[buoyant egret]

Apple fanboys are isheeps

[gloomy tinsel]

I used almost all phone vendors

[buoyant egret]

Isheeps are people who think Macs are by default THE workstation computer

Even though Lenovo and Dell make workstations too

Even then, I hear the BS phrase of Macs being the best for graphics design and photo editing

BS

[subtle hawk]

anything apple makes is something mediocre that has the apple tax

[buoyant egret]

Lenovos, Dell, and HP can do just find

[subtle hawk]

lenovo is shit

[buoyant egret]

Hell even my gaming PC doubles as my work computer

[stone wave]

i got no problem with macos/ios but i can't for the life of me figure out how to navigate around it without stumbling

[buoyant egret]

lenovo is shit
@subtle hawk No, just no

They own IBM

[subtle hawk]

yes just yes

[buoyant egret]

And IBM are among the best

[subtle hawk]

they butchered the thinkpad line

[gloomy tinsel]

For me
iPhones have very good software
Samsung have very good camera but Huawei is the best camera
Sony just decent at everything but design is nah it feels like holding a tv remote
OnePlus is above average
Oppo,Vivo are just trash

[stone wave]

what IBM is still it's own company

[subtle hawk]

IBM was one of the best

[stone wave]

they sold off their computer shit

and their printer shit became Lexmark

[subtle hawk]

yes they sold their computer division

[stone wave]

IBM is still quite large, being S&P 100 listed

that said I have no idea what they do now a days

[subtle hawk]

mainframes

and research

as well as work on standards

[stone wave]

if we're talking big ass US based companies that shat themselves... the camera division of Kodak that's a big oof

[gloomy tinsel]

[subtle hawk]

also @gloomy tinsel if you want the most true to life pictures the pixel delivers that

[buoyant egret]

IBM sold their their computer division to focus on robots, super computers, servers, ect

[subtle hawk]

the rest do too much processing

[stone wave]

ah yeah i took a picture of my sandwich today in #food with my S10+ and it looks rather saturated

[gloomy tinsel]

Still likes Huawei. But I agree that pixel give a very great picture

Especially the Night mode

[subtle hawk]

yeah that's the AI processing that cranks the saturation of food

[gloomy tinsel]

Bcuz I like silky water pictures

[somber cloud]

I realised theres a rise in the number of unofficial apis just for azur lane

Tho idk how bad it is i do need some help in terms of data auditing

[subtle hawk]

if you need info go to the wiki

[somber cloud]

Nah wiki ive already consulted for their perms to use their data

I do need to see if anyone is able to help audit the info we got from the wiki

Cos in terms of apis, i think we did smtg different from most of the apis

Hosting datas locally instead of a server

[subtle hawk]

and what would u use the api for that the wiki doesn't help with

[somber cloud]

Like normal discord bots will do

Discord based wikis

Or web databases

I think u already know abt the kurozero monetizing incident

Resulting wikis rate limit to 5 sec to prevent discord bots accessing the wiki server excessively

Heres one active test im working with to provide the data

[subtle hawk]

[somber cloud]

Yea i did talk to jif abt using their data

[subtle hawk]

there's so many bots that have this data already

not to mention that it's easier to open the wiki

[somber cloud]

True as well

Last i check the numbers on my downloads pages, they are pretty huge

[buoyant egret]

if we're talking big ass US based companies that shat themselves... the camera division of Kodak that's a big oof

Killing the around 20KHz audio range

[subtle hawk]

also I could probably get a sound spectrometer from a friend of mine that works at a recording studio to tune my setup

[vast sand]

i mean u cant hear 20khz

I just tried to follow the Harman curve

[restive rover]

I can hear it tho since my ear is so sensitive

Like, I can notice a 128kbps mp3 and a 320kbps mp3

from the audio spectrum range

If the hats and crash sound were crisp, I can assume that it's a HQ music

[vast sand]

I cant really tell the difference

since I listen to edm

[subtle hawk]

human hearing goes between 20 Hz to 20kHz

[restive rover]

If the hat is kinda, meh, it's those below 256kbps audio

I have collection of FLAC music that pleases my ears

[subtle hawk]

but do you have good enough hardware to play it back

[restive rover]

Yes

Also gonna buy new speaker after this epidemic

Because my current speaker is beat up

[subtle hawk]

ur listening on pc I hope

[vast sand]

I just use a simple amp and earpiece

[restive rover]

kinda toasted right speaker

[vast sand]

Final Audio E3000

[restive rover]

ur listening on pc I hope
True

[vast sand]

I think

I had the 1More Triple Driver but it was too muddy and bass heavy

[subtle hawk]

cause I've seen pepegas that say they can tell the difference of FLAC audio playing on their phone

and I'm like

[vast sand]

dont u need an amp for it

those thingys

portable dacs

[restive rover]

cause I've seen pepegas that say they can tell the difference of FLAC audio playing on their phone
If you are comparing to 128kbps mp3 and FLAC, that's a huge difference

[subtle hawk]

the amp won't do shit

since the dacs inside phones aren't as high grade as something you can get for a pc

[vast sand]

my friend has a portable dac

and

i cant tell the difference

[subtle hawk]

because it's 99% snake oil

[restive rover]

If you are about to play those 96000Hz FLAC music on phone, you are hardware limited to 44100Hz or 48000Hz

[vast sand]

128kbps is more than enough for me

[restive rover]

128kbps is more than enough for me
Same to me when I was a ||n00b|| about music quality

[subtle hawk]

implying u aren't

[restive rover]

[vast sand]

l mean all I listen to is EDM

[restive rover]

BTW, you watched ShortCircuit's new video?

[vast sand]

and edm is basically random sounds mashed together

BTW, you watched ShortCircuit's new video?
not yet

[subtle hawk]

since we're talking about audio

when i bought my mobo, i've never had a medium/high end mobo

so when i got this

it had this stupid ass sonic studio 3 software

and it PISSES ME OFF

LIKE I DON'T EVEN USE IT

I HAVE TO REBOOT WHEN IT UPDATES AND I CAN'T EVEN MANAGE ITS UPDATE SCHEDULE

LIKE WHY ASUS

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[restive rover]

Uninstall it if you don't use it.

[vagrant holly]

did

stealthily re-installs itself somehow

and just asks me to reboot

[vast sand]

disable?

i think I also got that on my laptop

uninstalled it and never came back

[restive rover]

stealthily re-installs itself somehow

[vagrant holly]

look man, i don't know how it happens either

i uninstall it

and somehow one day, i'm doing something, playing games, modelling, listening to music whatever

and the dam thing pops up and it's like "sonic studio 3 needs to reboot to complete an update"

it's like a zombie

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-x570-phantom-gaming-4/p/N82E16813157884?Item=N82E16813157884

that drive is in that mobo, but the OS and bios dont see it

@subtle hawk bless me with your divine knowledge

[restive rover]

How many M.2 slot does your mobo have?

Wait, lemme check the link you sent

So it's a SATA M.2 drive, not an NVME I see.

I see something what's happening.

Some motherboard only support SATA M.2 or NVME M.2 or both.

But because your motherboard has this "Hyper M.2" slot, I can assume that it is only for NVME M.2 drives not for SATA M.2 drives.

And because I saw this on their official website

Supports the next generation PCI Express 4.0 M.2 SSDs, it is capable of perform twice the speed compared to previous 3rd generation, giving a lightning fast data transferring experience.
I think both slot were only for NVME M.2 drives.

But if possible, you can go to BIOS and check something on the storage section of BIOS.

I don't know how ASRock's BIOS look but that's all I can do.

@severe falcon

[gloomy tinsel]

I feel like this bot is a scam tho. Did anyone get this message?

[restive rover]

Nope

I forgot to mention something.

I think both slot were only for NVME M.2 drives.
Try installing it on the second slot and check the setting on the BIOS if possible.

[restive rover]

Yes, one of them were only PCIe and the other one is PCIe and SATA

8 SATA3, 1 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4 & SATA3), 1 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4)
-according to their website

Carefully look up on the BIOS and set that port to SATA mode or something

[buoyant egret]

It sucks #music-spam won’t take official uploads of music

Official uploads are usually the remastered versions

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon most dual M.2 slot mobos have to share the lanes or the port

so for example the SATA M.2 slot has to share 2 SATA ports with the onboard controller

while the 2nd NVMe M.2 slot most likely feeds off a 16x/8x slot

[restive rover]

You can consult the manual which slot is which. Maybe there are info about setting up the SATA ports and the M.2 slots

My mobo is tied with the SATA_0 port and M.2 slot

meaning, they share the same lane

[subtle hawk]

more like they share the same interconnect

since SATA M.2 SSDs exist

they have to connect to the SATA controller

and by doing that you have to sacrifice one or 2 ports

while NVMe SSDs usually need 4 lanes to operate properly so it's easier to just steal the lanes off the bottom slots

due to the limitation of the CPU and chipset

[subtle hawk]

I sold 2 potato PCs, and my brother is planned to build a custom built PC.

10th gen Intel CPUs are still imminent for desktops yet.

[vagrant holly]

they've been imminent for uh

[subtle hawk]

@subtle hawk 1st of all it launches in a month

2nd of all why intel

Because is kinda getting a chance of overheating of course, they said it's for the poor people.

it's not

rn AMD is the leader when it comes to CPU

more cores, faster instruction processing, less heat, less power draw, more affordable motherboards

[midnight oriole]

Does anyone here have experience with using android emulators on linux? I really want to switch over to it, but I haven't really heard much about emulators.

[subtle hawk]

you can emulate android on linux

you just won't have touch support

and you'll need to make a lot of the configs

[midnight oriole]

Nothing I own other than my actual phone has touch support anyway. Would you say it runs alright performance-wise?

[subtle hawk]

runs really meh

as nobody actually work on optimizing android emulators on linux

due to it being such a niche market

@midnight oriole i use genymotion on linux with an R5 3600 and GTX 1060. stable 60fps with about 10-20% load spread out across all threads. 700MB gpu memory usage with 15% gpu utilization. not the greatest performance but certainly very usable and better than anything else out there

it uses virtualbox as its hypervisor so you'll need to switch from any other type-2 hypervisor you're currently using unfortunately

it's pretty straightforward to set up but there are a few quirks that take 2 mins to fix but that'll stump you for a while if you aren't aware of them

feel free to PM me with questions if you decide to set it up

win 7

[stone wave]

didnt 7 EoL?

[subtle hawk]

yes

I keep a copy of XP and 7 for archrival reasons but I would never consider running them on a exposed system

[restive rover]

I have copy of Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Ultimate (both 32 and 64 bit), Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit), and almost all different release version of Windows 10 (since Anniversary Update or Version 1607)

[subtle hawk]

too many

especially for win 10

which you can always download from MS repository

[restive rover]

problem within my side is that I can't get the very latest ISO of Windows 10 because, 800MB per day of internet

And why I have almost all of these ISO is that every time Microsoft release their newer version of Windows, I always download it on the first 5 days since release.

Here at home

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f279f-Y-O-w

I'm literally shaking my head with this technology and my country has this website to stop 5G from my country

[onyx tendon]

Imagine if they're using 5G internet to male the website

"I used the 5G to destroy the 5G"

[restive rover]

Bathing under the sun is much more dangerous than the 5G because the sun has UV rays that is an ionizing radiation

i'll just go back to do Linux things atm

[subtle hawk]

5G is just another communication standard

the close range module has such a high frequency that it bounces off even paper

and the longer range stuff has already been used in other applications with no harm to anything

also nothing personally against you @restive rover but it irks me so much when ppl try to rub it in your face that they use linux or anything else that is not windows or macos

[restive rover]

... meaning?

[subtle hawk]

nothing just saying

nobody gives 2 cents what your OS of choice is

the only time I care is when they kneecap themselves in linux or some flavor of BSD just because "big corps are evil" or other stuff like that

[restive rover]

The only reason why I'm using Linux right now is that I love to tinker

but, ye...

mind b0rk at 1am while doing something

i can't explain very well during these times

[subtle hawk]

yeah I hate those "i use arch btw" people too

it's not even arch

any distro in general

[subtle hawk]

yeah I know

but arch the most popular example

[fringe goblet]

does anyone here use blender? Also i just downloaded it and im a noob on trying to create wisdom cube

[vagrant holly]

hold up

you see that little circle with squery bits?

if you have the cube selected you should be able to see it

this is what that tab will look like

now, were it says "surface", by default it has "principled shader" selected

[fringe goblet]

[vagrant holly]

if you click on it it'tll open a menu that lets you select a shader of your choice

for the wisdom cube, i suggest the "glass" shader

[fringe goblet]

ok

[vagrant holly]

now, if you look at it, it won't look like much, and that's mainly because you're looking at it from "solid mode"

[fringe goblet]

I got the glass suface texture already but there isnt any changes

wait

[vagrant holly]

yes, that's because you're in solid mode view

those

those things in the red rectangle are the varioues view modes

wait mb it's not very clear there

[fringe goblet]

ok

[vagrant holly]

those 4

[fringe goblet]

i saw it

[vagrant holly]

go ahead and click on them to see what they do, from left to right, wireframe, solid, material and render

[fringe goblet]

I am able to change the view

[vagrant holly]

yep

[fringe goblet]

Material Preview i used

[vagrant holly]

that's not how it'll look in the final render, material preview is used to get a general idea of what material is were

[fringe goblet]

hmm

[vagrant holly]

it's faster and less intensive on the cpu/gpu so it's great for when you just need to know what material is were when modelling

the right-most one is the rendered view

THAT is how your model will look like fully rendered

[fringe goblet]

ok

[vagrant holly]

also, since blender 2.8 they decided to switch to "evee" as default render engine

[fringe goblet]

whats a good render engine? do they have more render engines there?

[vagrant holly]

yes

were the arrow is pointing, that's the tab you go to to select the render engine and other effects related to the render

you don't have to worry about the other stuff for now, i advise you to watch a beginner tutorial and get a grasp of the basics and slowly work your way up from there, for now tho, from that tab, were it says "render engine" you can select the one you prefer

cycles is the best engine for rendering available to blender

[fringe goblet]

I tried the cycles engine and i can almost see that it is looking like a wisdom cube lol

[vagrant holly]

ye, i suggest spawning a plane, just to have a floor-like surface to place the cube on

[fringe goblet]

how to add it?

[vagrant holly]

shift+a

it'll give you a drop-down and you can select whatever you want

for a plane, shift+a>mesh>plane

you can move stuff around by clicking on whatever model you want to move

[fringe goblet]

i added it and it looks weird

[vagrant holly]

once you model is selected, press G and it'll allow you to move the object where you want

you have selected multiple things

double tap A to deselect everything

and then select what you wish to select

(also you don't have to stay in rendered view mode)

(for modelling, it's best to stick to either material or solid view mode since they are faster and less stressfull on your system)

[fringe goblet]

i managed to select the plane and moved it down

[vagrant holly]

good

[fringe goblet]

should i enlarge the plane

[vagrant holly]

if you want

select the plane, press S to scale it

btw, if you press G and then press the button for any of the axis, you'll move the object only along that axis

like for example, if you press G and then X, your object will move along the X axis

[fringe goblet]

my god the rendering with the plane enlarged

[vagrant holly]

yes

[fringe goblet]

so

with that placed

imma try matching the color of the wisdom cube

[vagrant holly]

if you want to rotate stuff, you can select the object you want to rotate and press R

[fringe goblet]

is the color matching of the wisdom cube?

[vagrant holly]

it's more towards blue imo

yours color is closer to a greenish hue

but i don't think anybody will mind too much lmao

[fringe goblet]

lol

thx

[vagrant holly]

once you're done and you want to render an image, in the top, were you have file, and whatnot

there should be a render tab

render>render image

[fringe goblet]

how to use a eyedropper

im trying my best to get the color from the wisdom cube in the file storage lmao

[vagrant holly]

for the color?

[fringe goblet]

ye

[vagrant holly]

you go to the material tab

click on the color

there is an eye dropper

[fringe goblet]

yep i see

[vagrant holly]

you can just approximate it

it'll do just fine

[fringe goblet]

ok
