Yeah but it looks good

Hot damn Postal 3, Team Fortress 2, and Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Betas got leaked today.

#

The best part of all is Postal 3 is on the Source Engine

prisma trellis
#

so we were talking about phones in general and we were asked to move here lol

#

i recently upgraded from an essential ph-1 to a oneplut 7t pro

#

it was either that or a pixel 4

#

ain't no way i'm paying $800 for a phone with only 64gb lmao

#

don't care how good the software is or how good its face unlock is; google's phones suck on the hardware end

#

wanted something that wasn't bogged down with bloatware; i basically wanted to get as close to the ph-1 as i possibly could

#

the pop-up camera was a really nice incentive since i hardly ever take selfies

#

i'd also make some argument for not choosing google because i just know they'd bake data tracking shit into their forks of android for pixels

#

but i mean... i chose a oneplus... a chinese phone

#

so that makes me somewhat of a hypocrite lol

desert olive
#

has anyone tried symlinking on an android device?

desert olive
#

game is running fine

#

left is internal and right is sd ard

hexed citrus
#

@prisma trellis you're way too indecisive

#

you pick a phone to use it

#

you buy the device not the brand

#

well if you're using a SD card in the first place

#

symlinking is a good solution

desert olive
#

Unfortunately sdcardfs doesn't support symlinking

#

Unix has a mount command which is similar and it works great

#

However I tried using it on the data folder and the game had trouble loading

prisma trellis
#

I did ultimately pick the device

hexed citrus
#

this whole thing about "what X spyware I have built in" or "bloatware" is just moot at this point

#

your data is collected one way or the other

#

and nowadays phones come with pretty clean installs, even if they have some bloatware that can be easily removed since we're past the time where those would be ODEXed along the core apps

prisma trellis
#

odexed?

#

ngl, i don't actually know what the state of bloatware is; just that it irritated the hell out of me when i had an s8 in 2017

#

i'm still using my essential ph1, picked it up for less than $100 unlocked off ebay about a year ago

#

amazing phone imo that still runs great today, just got marred by a terrible launch price and terrible launch reviews bc of mediocre camera

#

the essential ph1 is the best deal on the used phone market right now imo

hexed citrus
#

you can buy a new phone that has similar specs nowadays

prisma trellis
#

holy shit you have a rog phone 2?

#

those are like $1500 where i am

#

also i'd stick with my ph-1 if it weren't for the end of the security updates

#

although that said you could just get lineage instead

#

the ph-1 is very open to tinkering; thank god

#

anyway, as for the rog phone...

#

these gaming phones are super cool and all

#

the problem though is best put as...

#

it's a great gaming phone, but there's hardly any games worth playing

#

like, most games don't even run at 90fps, let alone 120

#

and there's--what, an overclocked sd855+ in there? it's a clock difference of like 0.2ghz

#

the side usb-c port and the accessories are neat though

#

if it wasn't nearly as expensive and if the cameras were better i might've gone for the rog phone ii

My Phone is leaved on idle position
got sudden reboot
"ah shit"
back to homescreen
my phone UI changed
"hmm sudden updates huh?"
then reboot again
"wtf"
Trying to get into recovery mode
still rebooting
"fuck"
reboot again again and again by it self

I guess my phone EMMC is broken

#

@prisma trellis i paid 900€ for it šŸ¤”

prisma trellis
#

$1500 cdn

vast torrent
#

But it was at the begining of corona

prisma trellis
#

that's probably the other factor

vast torrent
#

And these 48 MP camera works good

#

And i must say rog is better as samsung or apple

#

The camera i dont use it often means dont interest me but all other things are very good

#

@prisma trellis

prisma trellis
#

from what i've heard it's pretty good

#

but my oneplus has a 48mp main camera too, plus a wide-angle camera

vast torrent
#

Same on the rog

#

@prisma trellis

prisma trellis
#

okay, well, a 48mp main, plus a 3x zoom and a 0.5x wide angle

vast torrent
#

It can run asphalt 9 with pc grafics

prisma trellis
#

i don't have clock speed controls though, so you got me there

#

well like, the thing is that even though it's overclocked, it's still a snapdragon 855+

#

i don't play asphalt but i'm pretty certain my phone could run 9 at max settings

vast torrent
#

Next month rog 3 coming with snap 865+

prisma trellis
#

that's gonna be expensive

#

the thing about the 865 is that qualcomm put a 5g modem into it and there is no other alternative

#

so all the phone makers are forced to get the 5g modem regardless of whether they want it or not

#

and that's probably the biggest reason for this year's price hike

vast torrent
#

855+ is enought actual it exist no app tgat needs more power ...

prisma trellis
#

hell, i'd argue the 835 in my essential phone was still more than enough

vast torrent
#

But the rog habe 4 wlan antennas inbuild 2 fromt dual speakers with best quslity i know from phones and the fast response touchscreen it helps in cod mobile ....

#

@prisma trellis

prisma trellis
#

yeah, in that case it's nice to have a phone like that

#

personally though... couldn't afford to put down that extra $500, and those things aren't nearly as important to me

#

the most reaction-based mobile game i play is azur lane itself

#

and i almost always either use headphones or play with no sound

#

having a 120hz screen would be really nice though

#

90hz was good enough for me though

#

this is also a very superfluous reason to a lot of you but i really love the look of edge-to-edge screens, and the 7t pro doesn't even have a camera notch or holepunch

hexed citrus
#

I would advise against changing the CPU governor profile manually unless you REALLY know what you're doing

vast torrent
#

@hexed citrus it is limited mean i cant set it so high that it can overheat

#

@prisma trellis headphones with cable or bluetooth rog suports newest qualcomm aptx for bluetooth and this is very good sound quality better as apple

hexed citrus
#

not that

prisma trellis
#

okay, i can admit that this phone doesn't have a headphone jack

#

it has bluetooth 5.0 and aptx though

hexed citrus
#

the CPU governor also manages the way the SoC works under different loads and under specific system calls

#

so unless you REALLY know what each stage of the governor does and what consequences changing the values will incurr just don't

vast torrent
#

It is only for apps and it says set these settings high bring better perfomance by more battery consumption ...

hexed citrus
#

it's not only for apps trust me

#

those parameters are the ones that are changed OS wide

prisma trellis
#

i'm sure asus would make the cpu governor idiot-proof though, no?

hexed citrus
#

you can't really make it idiot proof

#

that's why almost all phones have a locked governor

#

by changing the stage frequencies and power targets even by a fraction can cause much worse battery performance

#

connection dropouts

#

higher than normal thermal output

vast torrent
#

I set all to max it produce lower heat but higher akku consumption and better performance šŸ˜…

hexed citrus
#

phones don't have a linear performance curve like pcs do

vast torrent
#

And akku consumtion dont matter i have this big 6.000 mha batterie

hexed citrus
#

so even if you increase the frequency it doesn't mean your game will magically run better

vast torrent
#

AL as example loads faster ...

#

And i dont see an problem with these settings higher run better by my phone ...

desert olive
#

Took me 5 reinstalls of LineageOS

#

But finally I can settle with this.

gloomy tinsel
#

Soo I found something weird here
Realme Narzo Indonesia Version
With Helio G90T only score 220K antutu score
Meanwhile
Helio G90T on Redmi Note 8 pro get 295K antutu score

#

but what I found different from these both phone
Narzo use 90hz screen instead 60hz on redmi note 8 pro
4gb ram instead 6gb on Redmi note 8 pro

#

These cause the difference I mean the ram size?

#

and Nazro price 160$
redmi note 8 pro 220$

vast torrent
#

@gloomy tinsel the Hertz make difference 60 hertz is locked to 60 FPS 90 hertz is locked to 90 FPS mean mean the realme cant use maximum from the SoC by FPS lock RAM makes not this big difference

#

And the software used on the phone can make a difference too

prisma trellis
#

the refresh rate of the screen--in hertz--tells you the maximum framerate you can see from that screen

#

so yeah, 60hz means you can only see up to 60fps on that screen; 90hz lets you see up to 90fps, 120hz to 120fps, etc

hexed citrus
#

imagine buying a phone for the antutu score or the FPS it gets in games

#

not how the display looks, how long the battery lasts, what features it has

#

also they're not locked to that FPS

#

the monitor refresh rate means how many times the image on the screen will refresh in a second

#

not how many frames your graphics processor can output a second

vast torrent
#

I can see GPU CPU usage and FPS if u set FPS lower as 120 it use lower CPU and GPU ...@hexed citrus

hexed citrus
#

obviously it will use less

#

as it has to generate less frames than what it can possibly do

#

if I set on my pc a limit of 20-30 frames it will habe that exact effect

vast torrent
#

In the end lower FPS = lower antutu score

hexed citrus
#

the FPS has literally no correlation to the benchmark score

gloomy tinsel
#

The True SOC power and kernel version

#

Define the Speed

#

Ram Clock speed

#

which is my Mi A1 only get 932hz

#

ddr3

#

And I check Poco f1 got

#

1.9ghz

#

ddr4

#

7g /s transfer rate on Mi A1
and 19/29gb/s in Poco f1?

hexed citrus
#

kernel doesn't affect the score

#

only the hardware and their respective drivers

#

for the latter you can't do much as they're proprietary binaries added on top of the OS

vast torrent
gloomy tinsel
#

People still use Antutu score to see the phone performance.
Yea I don't say its false

#

but its not the correct way

hexed citrus
#

using antutu to rate phones is like using a dyno to rate a car

gloomy tinsel
#

Yamato you have any recommendation for Mics?

#

My friend say AT2020 is already good

#

but I must make sure of it

#

I was goinf around 150$

#

can be more or lower

#

between that range

hexed citrus
#

it's a good mic

#

but you need a good DAC

gloomy tinsel
#

is DAC should be cheap?
In my country online shop its going around 8-15$

#

the good one should be 80$ and up right?

hexed citrus
#

a DAC can be as cheap or as expensive as you want

#

just make sure you get something that has good reviews

Yet the majority of console gamers still buy discs

#

For what i need disk drive if my tv can play 4k Netflix
@vast torrent For me, I buy discs because of collectibility and value

#

There’s something special about owning an item you can touch

#

This goes to both movies and video games

#

I am not a fan of DRM

vast torrent
#

@buoyant egret

  1. disc cost more
  2. On pc in the disc case is only the steam, origin, uplay etc code no disc
    ...
hexed citrus
#

also that's a article from 2018

#

it's already irrelevant

buoyant egret
#

I mean on PC I use digital

#

Consoles are different though

severe falcon
#

i mean you cant play disc games on win10

#

the OS wont read them

merry basin
#

Yeah iirc aren’t consoles literally trash at compressing anything? When I had an Xbox 1 most games ran about 30/40 gb on the small storage they had. So it makes sense if people like disk more cause that wasn’t a problem on older stuff. And yeah Windows memes disk in general, don’t you have to buy an app that can read them?

severe falcon
#

no, you cant read them

#

cuz the software to read through the copyright protection that almost all games have is a massive security threat

buoyant egret
#

I had to do some sort of special bootup to launch Battlefield Vietnam

#

Also, it’s stupid that you had to install games even though you own the disc

#

I didn’t had that problem with Xbox 360 and PS3

vast torrent
#

Disc reading is to slow this is why SSD or the faster m2 exist

buoyant egret
#

I prefer physical for console, digital for PC

#

Most ā€œphysicalā€ PC games are literally just a code inside the disc cover these days

severe falcon
#

well yeah, cuz it expensive to make special discs for a game

buoyant egret
#

Physical still rules for consoles

hexed citrus
#

no it doesn't

#

all it does is copy the game over to the drive and then you can toss out the disk

#

it's been proven that even for nintendo cartriges which are flash storage are slower than a game installed on internal/SD

vast torrent
#

On ps5 physical is nothing vs these new SSD sony said it is faster as M2 SSD from PC.

Is iPhone good for gaming like those Asus ROG and Razer phones?

#

I use an iPhone and I’m one hell of a gamer

gloomy tinsel

iPhones still perform as it is

#

Just if you're below iPhone 8 plus or X model

#

it will just overheat like toaster then frame drops

#

iPhone7 plus in 10 minute of PUBGM moment. yea it heat soo fast.
bcuz A10 fusion only got 4 cores

#

If you're going for gaming

#

just go for iPad pros

#

in IOS device

#

in android device
well just choose the gaming phones
ZTE Nubia,Xiaomi Blackshark,Asus ROG Phones

#

Im not saying Gaming phone is better than flagship smartphones but they git features that are intendeed for gaming

But most flagship have it too

Razer phones
I don't like the edge of the phone it hurt my palm

The first time I move to fullscreen phones
it also need an adaptation

Yamato, what phone you use?

subtle hawk
#

I'm still on my iPhone 7+ for 3-4 years now?

#

It's long overdue for a battery swap but I've taken good care of this phone and it's probably my favorite iPhone design before Apple made another bad decision and released the iPhone X series & up

#

because having a home button was too much pepega

I keep my iPhone8 plus only for gaming purpose lel.
Because My hand can't do anything full screen phone

I have a 4 year old IPhone 7 plus

#

I haven't gotten a new one yet

#

Well thats a pretty good phone.
except battery life sucks

#

Like you need powerbank to go around

#

but for daily use. no gaming it can last 8 hours

imagine messing with the registry to disable something that is supposed to be enabled at all times
unless if you live in a country with very crippling internet connection, then you should disable that automatic updates

most especially me when I only have 800MB of data per day

that's why it gives you the option to postpone it

you should never let your system be too out of date

I only update like every month depending on the network condition or my data allowance left

and if it's a security update, i'll just pass and don't do anything stupid on the internet

recently my laptop's windows explorer started to stop working very unexpectedly, following with intense freezing. im asking if any of you guys can help me with this and/or can help me reinstall windows. btw im windows 7 ultimate

#

to give an example of how extreme it is, im the last 1 hour when i send this, windows explorer has restarted 5 times, and 2 out of 5 happened just in 1 minute

#

i cant provide screenshots because its too laggy for me to perform such a thing

restive rover
#

is your system old or new?

remote remnant
#

old, i bought this 3 years ago, was originally win10, but got downgraded

restive rover
#

ok, so what are the specs?

remote remnant
#

intel i5 7th gen, 4gb ram, 1tb hdd

#

intel 620 hd

restive rover
#

hmmm...

#

i think i see one part of the problem...

#

that hard drive

remote remnant
#

bad sectors?

restive rover
#

although background usage is not that heavy on Windows 7

#

bad sectors?
i don't think so but you can use Hard Disk Sentinel and see if the SMART status had dropped

#

on the health of the hard drive

remote remnant
#

ok

restive rover
#

This is optional though but, can you try boot in safe mode with networking (assume that you gonna use Discord later on) and just casually browse some files in it if it lags?

remote remnant
#

browse what file though?

restive rover
#

anything from music to pictures to video

#

and see if it lags

remote remnant
#

ok then

restive rover
#

Oh wait, you can't actually play music but you can view video but with no audio

remote remnant
#

i dont really care about that tho

#

100% health

restive rover
#

Weird

#

Wait I'm doing something

#

Brb

restive rover
#

That took so long to do some work

remote remnant
#

ikr

#

i was waiting for you

restive rover
#

But no weak sector?

#

As Hard Disk Sentinel stated?

remote remnant
#

ya

restive rover
#

U tried doing it in Safe Mode?

remote remnant
#

no

#

||how to boot in safe mode?||

restive rover
#

Uhh...

#

You were in Windows 7 right?

remote remnant
#

YEAH

#

sorry caps

restive rover
#

Mash F8 during startup

#

Shut it down, turn it on, and mash F8

remote remnant
#

ok

#

oh and btw some extra info

#

it seems that the chance is higher when the computer's resource is more than ~50%

restive rover
#

so, another culprit can be background apps

#

so cross out the hard drive part

#

It doesn't lag on Safe Mode?

remote remnant
#

didnt do that yet lmao

#

aight rebooting in safe mode

restive rover
hexed citrus
#

winows 7 is notorious for that

#

it doesn't use the RAM as cache for the apps so the more things you have open in the background the more stress it puts on the hard drive

restive rover
#

Oh, he's here

#

Which means he has some apps running in the background that could hang up the system?

#

I can barely remember how Windows 7 works

hexed citrus
#

most likely he just has a lot of background stuff

#

he should upgrade to 10 either way

#

7 is end of life

remote remnant
#

aight background programs problems

#

he should upgrade to 10 either way
dont have enough money to get it

#

might get the pirated version

microsoft still allows for a free upgrade to 10

from 7

how

i tried the windows installation tool but not working tho

it said i need the key

tried using my win7 key but didnt work

DRM on games was a thing way before steam

I was talking about the reaction

I don't remember that

then again I used steam back when it was just a launcher for valve games and a server browser for said games

Go on a forum from the early 2000s and you’ll find people talking about how Steam would destroy PC gaming

but it seems like a p competent laptop

actaully

it most likely has a turbo button

that makes it into a jet engine but keeps it at max performance

Yea but it need to be plugged

if not

the turbo boost not going to last long

Im going to get Ryzen 5 Zephyrus G14

both have same 1650ti

not like you need to turbo boost while on battery

if you have to you better look for a wall socket

Maybe I'll just going for asus tuf FX505 with gtx1650

code name FX505DT i think

#

i just got 100% cpu usage just by opening taskmgr wth

vagrant holly
#

it's normal, cpu usage will spike when opening new windows or applications, because your cpu will always try to do it as fast as it can so it'll push itself to 100% for split second (or a few seconds, depending on how fast it is at opening said application)

#

it would be an issue if it was something like, your cpu runs at 100% all the time but then you open task manager and it goes back down to normal (that would be some cryptominer or trojan that's making use of your system pushing to 100% then arresting itself if you open task manager, so you don't suspect anything) or it goes to 100% and stays at 100% with no other applications running

I have an extremely important question to ask. If I switch the motherboard on my computer, do I have to reinstall windows?

#

My computer just gave this static sound before freezing. what do I do?

#

the sounds came from my headset because that's what was plugged in, this happened last night while I was playing wows and it happened again just now when I was doing basic school work. I turned off the computer and turned it on again and this time the sound was louder and longer compared to before which was very short. I want to assume this is a CPU issue but I just need to clarify with some advice.

#

Now when I turn on the computer, all there is is just black screen. I don't even see the BIOS.

wooden quest
#

the OS and firmware should be installed on your hard drive, so if you didn't change the hard drive, Windows should be there. I don't think changing the motherboard changes the OS.

vagrant holly
#

if it's OEM windows, i'm not sure you can swap the mobo and keep the copy "verified". If it's a full copy tho, you can swap components as you please, if it asks you, just put the product key and you can make your copy verified again

what kinda sucks is you have limited reverifications and those are triggered when you change your hardware too much that it changes your ID

@quaint grove load address to the register and then sub from that

this is not a CISC where instruction set actually helps you hand writing it Kanata_Smug

Yea

I regrets buying gaming laptop

#

Battery life sucks

except you go on power saving mode all the time at school

#

But now. Im only at home, So I use pc not the laptop

#

thats the difficult part of gaming laptop. You will never use it on home if you have a pc, so Having Laptop for school purpose only with U type processor that save battery life is better choice

#

13 too smol
