the lower price on outemus will also sweeten the deal when going for outemus tho
mx switches are still considered the "elite" mechanical switch manufacturer by most, and it used to be, knockoff chinese brands (outemu, gateron, kaihl) weren't very good
but they've come a long way since then, and they are now pretty much on the same level as mx if not better due to the sheer amount of choice in types of switches
tl;dr : durability wise, you have nothing to fear, most chinese switches are just as good as mx, the tactile difference is so slight it comes down to personal taste at this point, and same colour will follow same philosophy (eg. outemu red/mx red= linear, outemu blue/mx blue= clicky and tactile bump)
my CMOS battery came
now my laptop doesn't think that time stops when the battery dies

time only stops when your PHONE battery dies
also lol wanted to test how this runs by running AL in Nox
apparently it doesn't like 1st gen Intel Integrated HD Graphics...
trying bluestacks 
bluestacks framerate sucks glhf
I-I-I th-th-think-k-k th-the f-f-framer-rat-te is f-f-fiiine…
I-I-I c-c-can-n e-e-even m-m-m-manual on th-th-this-s-s
oh that's even worse than my phone rip
As proven by the perfect facetorp
I moved to emulation bc i got tired of charging my phone and i cracked that phone so I had to go back to an old one
they say ryzen 3100 cost 99$ but guess what they raised the price for 10$
wait, you from wkwk land ?
this reminds me
since my current keyboard is dying (duplicated or no keystrokes) I'm kinda forced to use my brother's old keyboard that's been tortured by years of osu!
it also has kailh blue instead of romer g tactile which took me a bit to get used to
yes
wait, you from wkwk land ?
@subtle hawk ?
that means Indonesia Viper
anyone here good with OpenGL
depends on what specifically
OpenTK
I don't have proper debugging tools setup but from the looks of things there is something happening
in a nutshell it should be drawing a Live2D model
I don't really know how to debug opengl since everything on the front-end seems fine
BLENDER 2.9 WILL HAVE REAL TIME DENOISING FOR VIEWPORT RENDERED VIEW LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ok I got it working, I was just missing SwapBuffers on the RenderFrame call
but the colors are shifted?
it should be PixelFormat.Bgr but I only have enums like PixelFormat.Rgb thanks to OpenTK
just a rough guess
My relatives desktop have this weird startup file named hdimhjfh (dont remember the name clearly) then theres a lot of startup files named hdimhjfhmgr, hdimhjfhmgrmgr and so on. Theres at least 10 of them. I can neither delete hdimhjfh nor disable it from starting up. Its also opened in IE, so i cant delete, or shred it. No result online.
sounds like a self-replicating script
I remember a friend of mine wrote one back in IT in high school, they aren' t that hard to make and they are usually harmless and only slow down your PC, trouble is, how did it get there in the first place? If it's from the internet it could also be doing other nasty stuff in the background
but you could try booting the pc in safe mode and delete it that way
@desert olive it's definitely a red/blue swap
if you can't do it in framework then just do it in the shader 
ok, I have to use OpenTK.Graphics.OpenGL however I want to support as low as GLES2
so just doing a shader would solve it
it's as trivial as output.zyx
gl_FragColor = gl_FragColor.bgr should be enough
isn't fragcolor a vec4 though
could be bgra too, thanks swizzling
how long do gaming laptops last
I don't recommend gaming on laptop since its on a Mobile GPU
If you gaming for long time the performance gonna drop
If you go for gaming just pick PC
how long do gaming laptops last
@subtle hawk i have been using mine for half a decade
still holding up well
since 1080p 60hz display
im on a i7 4th gen mobile processor and gtx980m (8gb)
tho regardless if you're going for a laptop or desktop, u should wait for the next couple of months for the new generation of GPUs to drop.
Get Ryzen 4600 or 4800 and GTX1660TI for minimum RN
TUF A15 get that thing
but If you have more budget get a Zephyrus G14
the cooling and screen is a lot better
damn
Wak
left in high performance mode?
even in battery saver you shouldn't expect more than 45 min of game time
nuclear battery cell for unlimited power when?
why would u need a replaceable battery if its unlimited power? 
also, most batteries for laptop arent user removable anymore
unless u open up ur computer
but what if u throw it away
my ram is soldered huhu
and what about the other parts
can you just turn nuclear batteries off and on simply by pressing a button?
legit question btw

when u don't have budget for cooling instead u stack them up to provide extra cooling
Gg
@quartz atlas had to reseat it 12 times before it showed up at x16 speeds
and I tried a different board with a different CPU
same behavior
it would show up as x4, x2, x1, x8 or none at all
and it has a very noisy video output
which makes me think it be dying
once I get a 3080 Ti I'll need to scour the used market for a 1080 Ti to replace this one in my collection
I think I didnt cleanup my verts
MIDI 2.0 is pretty damn interesting
how so
It adds support for much more note data like individual pitch bend and tuning, has feature probing, and remains translatable to work with MIDI 1.0 instruments,
Expanding features, improving performance (since it no longer limits itself to 31.25 Kbit/s), improving usability, and keeping backwards compatibility: the holy grail of software engineering
so like playing 440.1111111 Hz notes are possible?
Yes
lol can our ears even hear the differnce
i don't have perfect pitch so i don't think so
Well it is useful for non-western instruments that don't play on the standard scale
I used to play piano
Now I mostly use midi sequencers because I have better control lol

But as for the individual note tuning, it makes Arabic music easier since they tend to use quarter steps.
As an example
Something you couldn't easily do in MIDI 1.0
But anyways, the standard formally defines how to chop up the 32-bit (usually paired to 64-bit) MIDI 2.0 messages into MIDI 1.0 messages (or expand a MIDI 1.0 message to 2.0).
hmm i don't quite see how midi 2.0 would be relevant in my daily life
i mean i like dubstep, i think maybe producers would have a larger variety of notes to play with now
anyone familiar with using blender's video editor? I'm doing the 200 gem thing and I keep getting video errors when trying to upload video to twitter; the only thing that may conflict with twitter's video limitations is the video bitrate, but I can't seem to find that option within blender
here are the settings that I'm using
likely color space problems
I can't bother it uploading another video dedicated to this server since my net is still slow after the "upgrade".
Anyway, here's my network setup. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/695496424766308412/742964626911658056/VID_20200812_123324.mp4

that's some SEA shit

Wth happen
See the charging port on the right?
thats the old one
have some rust soo the phone wont charge
reminds me of my phone not being to plug in any audio jacks
it was backed up by pocket lint
@restive rover is that one of those pocket wifis that use SIM cards and cell networks for internet?
Welp, you got the SIM card part correct but in a router form factor
in short, it's just a bigger version of the pocket wifi
Just Fixed my MI A1
Noice, you fixed the charging board, yes?
Another video from the previous one, and if you plan for an actual guide on how to swap a battery please check out on forums for your phone.

@restive rover nice prepaid wifi
so
I've been thinking about replacing my old keyboard's switch
now the problem is, what brand 
also I prefer light tactile (brown)
im thinking of getting a gaming keyboard
can someone recommend any keyboards within like 100usd?
I'm pretty sure you can get any pre-built mechanical keyboards at 100usd 
r/MechanicalKeyboards: Keyboard lovers Clicking and Clacking in a content rich, friendly place. The goal of this subreddit is to provide daily links …
and uh
what are the best switches in ur guys' opinion?
well thats why im asking in your opinion
sorry if it sounds obnoxious of me to ask
Cause im looking for a gaming keyboard and debating wether i should get brown, red, or blue
that's something only you can decide
Thanks for the input
best way I would suggest deciding is getting one of those switch sample boards
which has one of every switch on it
so you can feel each one yourself
or if your electronics store has keyboards on display try those out
@subtle hawk there are plenty of videos explaining how each switch type works, but in general, as yamato said, there is no "best", mechanical switch variety is all about tactile and auditory feel, so everybody has their favourite
Thanks
AHAHHAHA KEYBOARD GOES BZZZTTTTT-
Check out KeyMouse at: http://www.keymouse.com
this is a decent primer
also don't be afraid to go for other brands like outemu, kailh or gateron, chinese off-brand switches are now just as good and often times cheaper too, altho the feel might be slightly different, same colour=same philosophy (eg. mx red and outemu red are both linear switches, mx blue and outemu blue are both tactile clicky and so on)
personally I detest linear
Thanks
You may not remember me, but a while back I asked if I can fit a Ryzen 5 3600 on a A320 Motherboard. Short to say, it can 
Yes its stupid 
i have the Vivobook
No thats M409
nani
nvm
mine is
this
just set whatever u liek
Ahh I see
This one only runs with Ryzen 3500U and vega 8
kinda trash
but its for school purpose only
But I still install games on it 

@vast sand is that the gamer girl in your discord wallpaper?
the manga or whatever?
But the ram
is 20gb
4gb onboard +16gb
Onboard ram are just stupid 
Idk Why the Ryzen 5 only runs at around 60% but didn't give all of its power
My Laptop and pc got Ryzen 5 too
well it just chilling at 60% but I think the GPU need working hard
Like on my RTX2060s 8gb in pc can run Apex in 160fps and the cpu just chilling around 40-60%
that weird thing about AMD
it's more like apex is more gpu bound and that most games can't take advantage of that many threads
Ping did you download the My Asus software? My laptop looks like didn't have it
New wallpaper 
Sucks that I only applied it on my old phone because the 16:9 ratio is better for it
Im gonna get a hyperx alloy with cherry mx reds, thoughts?
Thamks again for ur input
@gloomy tinsel download the thing
Pingable can I get the link for your discord wallpaper too 
Okay
niichi
I wanna buy the manga

Hanging out with a gamer girl 
Imagine if she plays Azur Lane as well


32gb of ram 
16, myself.
Need help to this. I save and boot this and still loops me back here
it goes automatically back into uefi?
check your boot order or if your drive is connected properly
I checked the connections a moment ago and the boot option cannot be opened
if its greyed out, it means the system cannot detect anything that is connected
did it work before? or did you change any settings/hardware, or its a new build
oh hey multimillion dollar companies fighting

Are there any mobile devices that use the beidou system rn? 
okay nvm, dumb question
imma show myself out
good thing i have you blocked
did it work before? or did you change any settings/hardware, or its a new build
@flint bobcat i can't recall if it worked before. but i haven't changed any of the settings
try plugging in a usb and get to the uefi setup to see if boot order shows up
@vagrant holly 
i'll give you my notepad file for the css

idk why it doesn't work
u made ur own theme?
So you can check it out
i got a base theme and edited it myself too. doing one from scratch takes way too long
that is
what isnt working tho
hmm chotto, lemme load it into my client
your link is broken
eh?
it gives 403
which one?
https://i.pximg.net/img-original/img/2020/02/16/18/00/44/79535172_p0.jpg this is the image
oh the image I insert
How about giving your notepad and my image in it?
the image is from pingable's picture
link above
just use this
and change the image
and change it however u want
much more customizable with more options than the one u sent
ok thankyou
also i suggest taking the image u want from whatever source, download it, and upload it to ur own private discord server and use ur own link, that way u can make sure the link wont change or get deleted
cuz imgur deletes old shit sometimes
imgur is also a reliable platform to link your images from if you need one
@quartz atlas are you logged into pixiv
yes 
ye
also u can fiddle ard and preview ur changes live by just doing ctrl+s, provided u have the theme enabled
oof
just use discord 
that's just your browser
Indonesia in nutshell m8
inb4 yamato comes on and yeets us
Blocked
alright just use discord then ye
I got a problem
discord wont do it either
Sad
oh I need to mark the server as nsfw first
thats weird
show me ur css image link @gloomy tinsel
well image itself is fine, did u mistake blur for low res?
if it looks blurred, that's theme
well ye, just adjust the settings
the theme makes the image blurry
So yeah, about that Philips-Azur Land collab...
These days, I mostly hear about Japanese and Korean electronics
this is how mine looks like
Who the hell uses European and American technology anymore?
my audio products are all European and us
this thing?
--background-image-blur: 1.6px; /* Blur intensity of --background-image | Must end in px | DEFAULT: 5px */
that?
comment it out
For audio equipment, maybe
but i will be swapping the dac/amp for euorpean or chinese soon
smh fish breaking tos
For everything else, Japan and Korea dominates
The US doesn’t even manufacture TVs anymore
The last American TV manufacturer Zenth was bought by LG in 1995
@gloomy tinsel change the px to 0 from 1.6
I once had a Philips TV
as i said, just go through the css and change whatever setting u want, u can change colors and all that shit too @gloomy tinsel
i also put the the 5px to 0
my tv is philips too, but i dont watch or use it
I need to learn coding
I currently have an LG TV
I still used a CRT TV until 2012
wtf
Idk whats mine but its an old 40inc panasonic
and My grandpa just buy xiaomi tv4 thats looks pretty weird
I never understand why he buy xiaomis
I mean it wasn’t my choice @flint bobcat
for tv product
iirc, even the chinese players use samsung or lg panels
doesnt crt use vga or dvi
well, xiaotv's are extreme value for $
Who here remembers VHS?
just like how their phones used to be
it doesnt go more than 200$
vhs was pog
I have some VHS tapes in my garage
Well since I use K20 Pro premium its pretty good
A Home Alone 2 VHS tape that I loved so much
i mean, tbh, i wont buy a tv for my future house
Me too bcuz I just step my face into monitor all day
A movie theater style?
kinda i guess
I’m excited this month
but if mirco-led can make it into mass product phase
Movie theaters in my country are gonna open up
then projectors will be outclassed
a tv is useless unless you have a NAS streaming to it
Finally, if this country wasn’t full of quarantine defying morons
It was supposed to end in May
Then because our country is full of freaking morons, quarantine got extended by months
Finally the movie theater is reopening
lmaoooo
I never liked tv tbh
same
27inc monitor is just good on me
this one kinda trash
Im going into asus proart maybe
i still wanna buy this
i made the mistake of trying 34 inch ultrawide and now i fear i can't go back to normal monitors and hope it lasts forever
which is a joke for a full array local dimming monitor of this size
I wish I had HBO Max 😔
imagine paying a monthly fee to watch shows
look at this sexy ass curve tho lmao

imagine playing flight sims on that
Yes
u a content creator? 
not flight sim
Fish, didn’t you see my stream?
imagine playing skyrim on that
no u

actually not but I draw. and also my family's photo studio
Imagine playing World of Warships on that monitor
imagine playing skyrim on that
@vagrant holly god no lmao, the game will brick
Should I stream again? 😀
internet in Indonesia is shit like its only goes 20mbps with 20:1 download:upload speed
geez
imagine asking skyrim to draw fking 230 fov
there are ultrawide mods
works flawlessly for me
i asked skyrim to draw 100 fov and stuff start flying everywhere
well, maybe it cuz my system aint good enough
I think I don't need to upgrade my pc for 3 years
@quartz atlas did you hear about asus's new mini OLED display
@flint bobcat isnt it like $8k or smth
stuff flyng everywere is havok
there's no price rn for it
limit fps to 60
because I upgrade my pc for like every 4 years
the first one is cringe
if you go above 60 havok WILL break
Fx 8350 and gtx950
then i5 8600K with 1050ti
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648107139399701/743859967081185410/VID_20200814_235158.mp4 look at this @vagrant holly
Why do schools have a fetish with Windows XP?
that's just skyrim being skyrim 
"maybe"
fking ancient engine
BRO
seriously wonder what they gonna do for next gen lmao
I went to elementary school when CRTs were still common
is that legendary or special?
special
wym, its still the same engine, just updated graphics
and i didnt even use xmp or fnis
or any physics mods
no, the engine is 64 bit, LE is 32
well ye, it doesnt change much tho
special is much faster and more stable
much less crashing thats for sure
ye
still crashes pretty often tho
like if i load an area with too much elements, sometimes the game just goes nah and closes
i mean i guess engine quirks related to havok are going to stay
last night i spawned in 300 vampire thralls and killed them all, and changed globla time mult to 5
do you have many cloak script mods running?
like npc behaviors, custom animals, difficulty mods
wait, i thought u meant cloaks of skyrim lmao
no
lets move this to #off-topic tho 
cloaking scripts are scripts that attach to your character and refresh over time every x seconds
i just find out the OS at my workplace ATM is still using windows xp
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

actually three days ago or week ago someone break the ATM os get load of cash @quartz atlas
👏
gg
everytime i put my card in it it felt like anxiety but hell my account bank is near 0 anyway

@shut sapphire I think you have same problem as me (Scroll up)
My school lowest spec was i3 gen 8 with intel uhd
@gloomy tinsel The very lowest spec at my previous high school was an AMD Athon 64 with Windows 7 (32bit), and a 2GB of RAM.
Ohh, it's nice you guys got Windows 10
They only have Windows 8.1 as their top OS on the ICT room
since I graduated on that school, I may be wondering what will happen to those computers without me
since I mostly manage those
The computer from my old school has gov't funded
Also, they rock ass with an i7-7700 on the two Thin Client server
geez
well the strongest in my school I think this pc
but it doesn't feel strong either
for student desktop
Amd fx 8350 and gtx950 2gb
I tried stressing it before on the ICT room, it can keep up 6 VEGAS Pro render preview
One server has 6 ongoing render
If you know how Windows Remote Desktop work, then those clients were using that protocol
I see
You know thin clients?
I don't rly know but Ever hear of it
Yes, but all process were also run by that same server
Damn, I want those i7-7700
wait
it's has also K
meaning it's overclockable
My old pc use i5 8600K

and the old one again it use fx too I think
AMD FX, those beefy but goes hot processors
BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Imagine overclocking an AMD Duron and remove the heatsink as it explodes

wait wut
@quartz atlas gonna plan on streaming on discord me building my FPV drone
but to have a overhead video source I used a gopro
oh nice
and you know you can't use a gopro as a webcam
i'd watch that
i have one of the camera things
it has a livestreaming feature
the osmo
unfortunately you can't stream directly to discord

so I came up with a plan
cant u just select output via cable to ur deskptop or smth
dang
unless u have smth like a capture card
the livestream feature on the gopro allows for custom RTMP links/streams
so I set up a RTMP server on my rpi
to which the gopro streams
then I open that stream on my pc using VLC
and stream that to discord
wow i didnt vlc could do that lmao
Is ryzen 7 comparable to intel i7?
Ryzen is just cheaper and a bit more powerful in multi task
Intel give good framerate at gaming
sike
lool

I stack my stock intel cooler to my new air cooler scrapped from the metal heatsink
Ryzen is just cheaper and a bit more powerful in multi task
Intel give good framerate at gaming
not a particularly wrong statement
based on my knowledge tho
doe ryzen isn't just "a bit" more powerful
Ryzen 5 3600 on mine + RTX 2060s 8gb go 150fps avg on apex
high-insane settings
and ryzen 3600 just chilling on 40-60%
that's not "performance"
idk about i5 gen 10 performance rn
It also isn't a great idea to use a particularly gpu bound title as a cpu benchmark
that thermal paste was probably lard lol
Are you sure that the cooler is plugged into the CPU fan header lol
bruh
just look at this benchmark during my slippy hot lap in f1 2018
105°c
my CPU hit 50% of usage at 18xxmhz

That laptop needs an undervolt
its a pc
Your cooling must be arse then
give AIO
@lucid sundial tell that to my modified air cooler
give AIO
@gloomy tinsel tell that to my empty wallet
Uh You actually get a free AIO when Building more than 10 million IDR on Entercomputer that time
thats why I get free AIO cooler
@shut sapphire that's a cursed image
that's how I made cooler
there was sn intel vs ryzen thing goingbon and i'm late but
We're both late on that one.
layest gen intel crushes ryzen in gaming (as always) but we're talking about high framerates vs high framerates (120 vs 150 type of deal) so you won't notice the difference in most cases even tho the difference IS there and it IS significant but again, you'll most likely not notice
ryzen is cheaper as odyssey said, you must also consider the fact that what you sacrifice in gaming you get back in productive applications that make use of multi threaded work loads like blender tho even then, there are still some other applications that still excell at making use of single core speeds rather than core count, like photoshop, intel is better there
intel also doesn't come with its own cooler, you MUST buy a separate one, ryzen comes with a half decent servicible cooler stock, (tho it's best if you buy a decent aftermarket one for amd aswell, but considering the fact that it's cheaper to begin with, it should be easier to budget the money)
all in all, the latest gen of intel cous has brought back the "intel for gaming, amd for production" meme that's been running for so long
but they are both great products
that said, get ryzen
Intel always crushes Ryzen in gaming
They have better single core performance
But when it comes to workloads
Ryzen just pulls ahead
But seeing the Ryzen 4th gen mobile cpus
Ryzen might pull ahead
in terms of raw power everywhere
Intel is basically just reusing their CPUs
and just clocking them higher
they barely changea nything
Honestly
get a 3100 for a budget build
3600 for a midrange
3700x for a high end
you dont need anything more than a 3700x
Imagine having another architectural delay
Hasn't Intel been on 14nm since haswel or something
oh wow i spend 100$ to get a better intel processor and my framerates are now 121 instead of 120
spend the money on better cooling or the graphics card
Nah not really
If you can find i7-9700k for cheap they work really great
but IF
you can find them
for cheap
yea that is an if
which you rarely do
still just get ryzen
I have a 8700 non k in my rig
I would have honestly went for a i7-9700k
mobos have good compatibility
8700 is a good cpu
I'd definitely buy ryzen if I were to upgrade though
7700 and 8700 are falling in prices really quickly
I would reccomend those over a 2700x or a 3600
tbh
But I'd still wait another year bc am4 is dead after ryzen 4000
I got a 2060 super will probably go all out at the end of the year with the double salary month
Knowing Nvidia prices are going to jump again 
get a ultrahigh end graphics card
I'm actually excited to see how big Navi performs against Tesla though
and go broke but hey who needs rent
Intel is currently on 10nm, vs. AMD 7nm. Part of the issue comes down to who has which fabs.
then the prices of the current 2060 or 2070 will fall
Intel has once again delayed 10nm
Just wait for the 3060 or 3070 to be released
in September
the prices of the 2060 Super and 2070 Super will fall
Even the 2080 Super
or if you really just want pure FPS performance
wonder how much will the release price for 3000 series will be
get the 1080 Ti
if you find one
If you can even find 1080ti
Remember when all the mining peps sold and eBay had a field day
i got a friend on another server that sent something about a 3090 card
Yeah rumored 3090
so about
Yeah but i am from a country where everything is super expensive so im fucked
350-450 USD>>
Which begs to wonder what happened to titan
there is a store with prices similar to US, but for used things, there is nothing here
get the GTX Titan
those things are pretty cheap
then u can go around saying
u own a Titan card

The wireless?
wired
I have the G502
I dont want to care about batteries or anything like that
personally
I mean Logitech makes pretty good mice
It will be better than my generic HP mouse that was included with an Omni 100 PC from god knows how long ago
I would get that Razer mouse thingy
Just the size of the left and right mouse buttons are huge
so I can butterfly click
instead of jitter clicking
But aren't Razer mice pretty pricey?
Yea im still using a generic hp mouse and keyboard from 2011
The keyboard is perfectly fine, clicking is good, still responsive
The mouse tho i have to change it
Bruh 2060 super and 5 3600 and still have that keyboard and mouse and no mousepad
Would purchase the Azuma mousepad but it doesn't ship to my country
oof
Oh shit
Samsung x AMD is gonna be a thing

AMD gonna help make GPUs for Samsung
are you using apple ping?
no
good
OnePlus 7T Pro
good
I'll never use apple
good
wait
for digital art
oh no
im sorry
Eh, a tool's a tool, innit? Hell, I'm no Apple guy ... but I'd not turn down money if the job involved using their equipment.
oh ye i'm not against people who have to use apple at their workplace
OS-wise, I'm going to go against my usual mindset here. I can't say I've had half the issues I see mentioned regarding Windows 10 updates.
the os is fine
macintosh is awesome
i strongly endorse hackintoshes
but apple hardware?
hell no
Heh. Realistically, MS is doing similar work with the Surface line. Comes down to controlling the hardware to where you can easily plop yer OS on it.
Gonna be interesting, when Apple starts plopping out ARM Macs.
yeah especially because wireless cooling might actually work with arm chips
And since they make their own chips as is, even if Nvidia buys out ARM, it shouldn't affect Apple's silicon.
no it doesn't @mental coyote
you can still install another OS on the surface
and also spec out a similar system for a similar price that will do more or less the same
Fair enough. I meant just in the sense that you could ensure Win would run better on hand-picked hardware.
you're paying for portability and 1st party compatibility
that's why ppl also like macs
it "just works"
Can't blame most consumers, there. Those of us who don't mind messing with different OSes and/or rebuilding hardware are a smaller number.
Nah. I know my Linux-user ass is a minority. I simply look for hardware I can manage things on.
I gotta say, I picked up one of the Ryzen 5 Envys, I like this box. Think I'll keep it for a while.
for example for my mobile pc I'm willing to pay a premium if it means:
- long battery life
- compatibility with my software
- niche features that I personally need (touch screen/MFA/etc)
you can also add 4. compactness and small weight
Anymore, I'd almost argue we can barely call touchscreen a niche. Phone/Tablet/Ultrabook are all kinda blending together.
no they're not
each one has it's own specific uses
it's like saying planes and cars blend together bcz they transport stuff and have a wheel

You've got Chrome OS running around using Android apps. Wouldn't that be something of "blending?"
Built from modded Gentoo, last I checked.
Been a while since I messed with portage.
but later on it became its own thing
You know, Yamato. This is what I do respect about you, man. Talking biz with you makes me have to keep up on my own shit more. 
stg my 1080 Ti will
very soon
Hi Yammy
Seems like someone has an upgrade planned ...
well I had a upgrade in mind ever since 3080 Ti got leaked
but I'll lose a piece of history
That’s a big oof
I'll need to convince my friend to give me his 1080 Ti when he upgrades too
I swear, gear you work with for more than a year is almost like a pet or family.
nah I'm keeping a collection of important cards from each generation of nvidia GPUs
That's cool, too
and the 10 series representative is currently in my rig
as the secondary GPU
but it be 

the displays keep flickering on and off
and it took 12 reseats to get it to run at 16x speeds
p sure it's not the mobo as the 2080 Ti shows up just fine
Yea, that sounds like card, then.
and it's not the cables
since I tested those too
I doubt it's the monitors since it's all 3 that flicker at once
I'm still waiting for yer personal rig to gain self-awareness.
What USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack would you all recommend?
It must have a built-in DAC as my Pixel 2 XL only outputs digital audio .
I am looking at https://store.google.com/us/product/usb_c_headphone_adapter (the 2nd version which is supposedly faster and more efficient), is this good or are there better options?
The USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone adapter lets you play 100% digital USB-C audio from your Pixel 2 on the headphones you love.
tomorrow or on Tuesday I'm building this
The drone you'd mentioned, yea?

no amount of dark magic or blue smoke it make it better
if you want high quality sound then get a dedicated player
or listen to it on pc
outside of that get some decent bluetooth buds or USB C headphones and move on
I'm surprised you have a 2XL running. Ain't long before 5's hit.
to quote dewey
the future is now old man
I mean if you just use it for phone calls and music even a 10 yr old phone will work
Not untrue.
I'm surprised you have a 2XL running. Ain't long before 5's hit.
@mental coyote I run my phones to the ground
I used my LG G3 until it broke in summer 2019
LG's a brand I never messed around with. Been pretty much Moto or Samsung most years. Especially after I had 2 Alcatels die on me in a row.
Never again, with that brand.
Yeah I am not 100% sure my next one will also be an LG (the Pixel 2 XL is also an LG)
The screen is pretty bad
Eh, their Velvet don't look half bad.
Alcatel hmm
I have that one in around 2012
Pretty good performing phone that time for such a small size
Well technology that time for now is a joke (512mb of ram, 4gb of storage)
If I turn it on. it still alive but the battery just last for 5 minute
in 2013 or 2014 my mom buy me a Samsung Note 3
It dies in 2015 when I go to japan
just won't turn on
Then I buy LG G5 SE. damn that thing camera is good, it still alive till now either but Im using it for phone call only
and a Samsung Tab A 8 inc with S-pen 2015 model
2gb of ram and 16gb of storage is pretty big for me that time
But the device itself got killed by the OS update. it can't run Android 7 smoothly So I sell it
The reason why I didn't want to use samsung device anymore. but yea My parent decided to buy me a NOTE FE
it still performing good but with lags sometimes on the framerate
also in that year I Buy an iPhone 8 plus which is I'm using till now.
but iPhone isn't my daily driver. Im using it for gaming purpose only
2018 tried to buy Xiaomi Midrange. performing good in that time, 3000mah battery doesn't last long
this is the MI A1 that I fixed a week ago
Then in 2019 I switched to Sony Xperia 1. its too tall, had 21:9 display ratio
and in 2020 I buy Huawei Midrange phone the Nova 5T. maybe the best value for budget midrange RN
since oneplus nord in my country was like going 700$ in USD
Crazy Price
not get the Nord
the Pixel 4a is way better
Only get the Nord if you want 90hz display
Maybe Ima stay with Xperia 1 and Nova 5T
Nova 5T have flagship performance tho
for like only 4.9 million idr
I pretty much doesn't care about refresh rate but I care about the 120hz/240hz touch sensing thingy
OK I'm finally stumped at this issue with the colors. It's likely because of the gamma correction however I'm not sure how to approach it.
Using internal format GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8 causes this but using 0x1908 (GL_RGBA) fixes it. It can be solved through shaders luckily. Any idea how though?
I'm using OpenTK so that's why I have access to PixelInternalFormat.Rgba which has a value of 0x1908
Ok so I got this mouse because I needed to replace my HP 2011 generic mouse
Its pretty good ngl
I can now do the interstellar meme
maybe it is too good
Also has a tiny bit of rgb so yea totally recommend one
it also has the funni scroll wheel feature
@teal shale do the interstellar meme
I dont have compressed air F
I get the rival 3
I'm debating between the g pro wireless and that g9XX mouse that also has the interstellar scroll wheel






but okay
