ITS NOT FOR heavy GAMING

#

first you ran photoshop,bluestack and wows at the same time.
good luck with that your CPU will suffer so much its more than the workload

#

First bluestack eat all your CPU bound and stuff

#

and the chrome that eat your ram

#

if you expecting good performance go for PC.
unless you want to go with gaming laptop

#

Actualy MX350 isn't that bad,because its mobile chip GPU but It has other purpose not just gaming

subtle hawk
#

I have a 10510u and it works nicely for me

#

granted, I don't play games on this laptop

#

Just YouTube, mpv, and dev stuff

gloomy tinsel
#

I mean you can still game on it right. pretty much fine for 720p sometimes 1080p in some title

#

But running all those app right away is just not make sense

#

You laptop Fan just goes JET ENGGINE LMAO

subtle hawk
#

exactly lol

gloomy tinsel
#

You want to squeeze out all performance on a laptop is just doesn't make sense

#

even me who play some games and go live on fb,still feel a stuter sometimes on my i7 10700K 2070super build
its reasonable

subtle hawk
#

the 10510u just works for me

gloomy tinsel
#

I mean buying a device is based on your parameters, what you gonna do with it

#

well you can't just say if its expensive its good

#

Its a big No

#

also me who a dum dum buying 2060s Founder Edition from another country and the shipping price flunctuate more than 2080 super price (item+shipping)

subtle hawk
#

the laptop was a present for me though

#

got it for free

#

added more ram

gloomy tinsel
#

and then my sister bring it to another country for her job

#

well just because its Mini ATX build

#

having a laptop is just so damn good when you want to work and relax in a cafe

#

or other stuff

#

also I change all the computer in my office, I put Ryzen 3 2200G in it, 1 stick 8gb ram only that. and use the old PSU

#

and you guess what

#

The office worker play dota in it LMAO

hexed citrus
#

emulators take a lot of CPU because of instruction translation

#

chrome doesn't eat ram

#

that meme is old

gloomy tinsel
#

It still use a lot of ram tho. well based on what you run in those tabs

subtle hawk
#

Messenger eats a lot of CPU for some reason

hexed citrus
#

saying it uses a lot of ram

#

is like saying that windows 10 uses a lot of ram

subtle hawk
#

is the saying "un-used ram is wasted ram" still legitimate

hexed citrus
#

when it's just to say that most programs and apps have been optimized and made to run on modern hardware

#

not ancient toasters with 2 GB RAM

#

your windows still uses most of your RAM

gloomy tinsel
#

Well it use 2,4gb of ram on first time I power on the pc

hexed citrus
#

only that very top segment is free RAM

#

the rest is actively used or as cache

gloomy tinsel
#

do you think its possible to change micro USB to USB C on my keyboard

#

just by changing the adapters

subtle hawk
#

Anyone know a lot about gaming laptops?

hexed citrus
#

just ask your question

#

people will pitch in

subtle hawk
#

More like anyone got any recommendations for a cheap gaming laptop. not gonna run like ultra graphics games, most will probs be gta 5 at least at 1080p

hexed citrus
#

what budget

subtle hawk
#

$900

#

oof

#

I don't think good gaming laptops at that price exists

#

but since it's GTA 5 at 1080p

#

are you fine with 8 GB of ram

#

There are a couple I’ve seen

#

Pick the TUF Ryzen ones

#

Budget version of ROG

#

Ain’t rog that one company that did that weird ad of a female getting into a gundam gaming setup ish thing?

#

I uh

#

don't know about that

#

TUF and ROG are from the same company

#

Asus

#

Did find this Thinkpitz

#

not bad of a deal

#

In pounds as I am bri ish

#

About £600

#

sounds like a steal

#

Which is the problem

#

Don't worry

#

gaming laptops are tough

#

No that’s not it

#

My dad has one

#

More like I don’t trust the site

#

I see

#

try Amazon UK?

#

Would gta 5 lag on 8gb?

#

probably not

#

If you can afford it, upgrade to 16

#

Might as well stick to a normal laptop the

#

*then

#

Would a low-medium range laptop be better than some normal laptops that would be $900?

quaint marten
# subtle hawk *then

It really depends since laptops are complicated and not all are created with gaming in mind

#

At $900 afaik (not familiar with the prices outside my region) would either be a high-end thin and light laptop or a low-end thicc heavy gaming laptop

#

If you're really serious about gaming on high settings on a laptop, always look for a discrete mobile GPU like the 1650 Max Q at the very least

subtle hawk
#

Not really gonna be serious on gaming for it

subtle hawk
#

Which is better rtx or gtx?

#

if you want something cheap, GTX

#

Still can’t make up my mind

gloomy tinsel
#

kek

subtle hawk
#

How good is this?

gloomy tinsel
#

3550H or 4600H?

#

or 5000 series

quaint marten
#

pretty sure that's the a15 with the cooling issues

quaint marten
gloomy tinsel
#

thats good

#

Well how is the price?

subtle hawk
#

In pounds

#

£729

#

Dunno what it is in donuts per eagle

quaint marten
#

tried browsing on the site you're buying from

#

this one seems better

subtle hawk
#

How so? @quaint marten

#

I’m more looking for an asus

quaint marten
#

since that specific model of asus was trashed by reviews on it's cooling design

#

what i hate about the legion 5 is the 256gb ssd

#

so if you really care about storage then it's not for you 🤷‍♂️

subtle hawk
#

I mean I will only have like 3 games on it

#

wows, tf2 gta5

quaint marten
#

must be a regional thing again with these laptops

#

in the US models, they have 512gb for the same price

subtle hawk
#

It’s what I get for being bri ish

#

My eyes are on this one but it’s way over my budget

quaint marten
subtle hawk
#

Almost a grand

#

It’s perfect for me

#

512gb

#

8gb

#

Might want to check if the laptop comes with a hard drive

#

the SSD is just the boot drive

#

you could offload your games there

quaint marten
#

it doesn't come with a hard drive sadly UniCry

gloomy tinsel
#

oh yea if you look for laptop don't forget to get a good hinge

#

mine just broke now

#

So yea just reminding BiskoLUL

#

its not totally my fault tho so I can just warranty it

#

because 3 year warranty

#

I never slam the hinge

subtle hawk
gloomy tinsel
#

Well you can

#

but yea, get a storage WarZoom

subtle hawk
#

How about the brand

#

Lenovo, are they good?

gloomy tinsel
#

Well from My office
there is 9 of em broke

#

doesn't last long

subtle hawk
#

So no

gloomy tinsel
#

but thats the matter of use tho

#

idk what my office worker did

#

Pretty sure they use it normally

#

mostly the laptop is around 2 to 3 years old

#

the problem is the hinge,keyboard and blue screen,doesn't want to charge

subtle hawk
#

How are the asus tuf a15

gloomy tinsel
#

Tuf A15 is good tho

#

ryzen 4000 series

#

idk the new one

subtle hawk
#

Found one with these specs

gloomy tinsel
#

thats good tho but is there any other description?

subtle hawk
#

Like?

gloomy tinsel
#

Product code name

#

or like this

#

the whole specs

#

its in indonesian sorry, but yea you know some of it

#

I mean the codename is Asus Tuf FX 506II-R55TB6T

#

like that

subtle hawk
#

Wait wrong image

#

There we go

#

Then I found this one

#

China Ehhssex

gloomy tinsel
#

Ryzen 5 4600H
GTX1650
8gb of ram

#

pretty good

subtle hawk
#

Which one is that one

gloomy tinsel
#

in my country price also i convert it to Poundsterling

#

or 13 million IDR

subtle hawk
#

Yeah.......

#

It’s £729

gloomy tinsel
#

different country different price

subtle hawk
#

The other one is about £800

gloomy tinsel
#

well you can check tour country MSRP price

subtle hawk
#

Only difference I could really find is that it has rgb keyboards SmartSex

gloomy tinsel
#

the TUF A15 have it

#

also in my country it has 144hz screen

subtle hawk
#

Idk what this has

#

Why am I dum dum Omegalilwoo Omegalilwoo

subtle hawk
#

Idk what to do

subtle hawk
#

Ok

#

I think I may have made up my mind.

Imma go with a Lenovo legion 5

quaint marten
#

any brand should be fine since laptops' lifespan mostly depends on how the user takes care of it

random magnet
#

right "I'm not knowledgeable"

#

I'm personally aware that the U is for low power, that this is 10th gen, even Ryzen 4xxxx would be more powerful

#

almost every notebook I buy seem to die in just 2 hours

am going for a budget pc build

possibly Ryzen 5-3500x

gloomy tinsel
#

there no 1060 super

#

1650 or 1660 super

#

but price is meh

#

But thats depends

#

1660 super here cost like last year 2070 super price

#

well in my country

random magnet
#

oops right sorry

#

I meant 1660 super

#

cause 3090 is too expensive right now

gloomy tinsel
#

You doesn't need 3090 tbh, but if you want it no problem tho

#

but 3090 in 3500x is just straight bottleneck

plain mica
#

i bought a 3080 and im doing just fine at 4k 144hz
not all games can run at framerate on max though

Sucks LG is now gone

#

I still want an LG phone

#

never had one and I want to experience using one

#

Xiaomi is tempting, so is OnePlus, but I'd rather go with HTC, Google or LG

subtle hawk
#

This might be a stupid question but does it take a lot to run blue stacks?

random magnet
#

right now it only takes about 3MB of my RAM

subtle hawk
#

And that’s one reason why I need a gaming laptop

#

I have no choice but to wait for my crypto to pump

quaint marten
#

as long as it's not a dual-core shit or something from 5 years ago, it should be fine

vagrant holly
#

any modern cpu will do

#

especially if AMD

#

actually no scratch that

#

i have no idea if intel or amd is better for emulation

#

but go amd anyway because you'd be mad to go with intel rn

plain mica
#

AMD tends to be cheaper anyways, but not sure how they hold up in laptops these days

#

they used to be hotter/less efficient

vagrant holly
#

nah they completely turned that around

#

they are the coolest and most efficient by a mile compared to intel

plain mica
#

nice, i'm glad for them. intel got complacent for the last decade

subtle hawk
#

Bye Intel

random magnet
random magnet
#

Phones have octacore, and even had decacore once

vagrant holly
#

4 physical cores is considered the bare minimum yes

#

but if you go with amd, their latest budget offering, the ryzen 5 3600 is 6 physical cores

#

so you don't have to worry about core count too much as long as it's something from the last 2-3 years

quaint marten
#

very different

random magnet
random magnet

#

cores are not the be all and end all of performance

random magnet
#

what? I don't get it

random magnet
vagrant holly
#

there is more to performance of a CPU than core count, there is also total clock and per-core clock, which is the speed of a cpu

#

and for a whole PC, there are even more things that can affect your performance

#

like RAM speed, wether you choose to install windows on an NVMe, SSD or HDD, the GPU, the motherboard

random magnet
#

I am aware of that, that's why I'm picking parts carefully

vagrant holly
#

for RAM speed, 3200 Mhz is enough

#

it's not worth the price going above that

random magnet
#

I'm still checking PC Express for their list, I'm going for 2600Mhz if I'm broke af

vagrant holly
#

also make sure it's DDR4

random magnet
#

yes got it. I'm not going for DDR3 anyway. This is a complete overhaul not an upgrade

hexed citrus
#

also instructions per clock

subtle hawk
#

Even AMD beats Intel now in single core performance

gloomy tinsel
#

what I see from the problem on intel tho
They use more power to get almost the same performance as AMD

#

but still not as good as AMD (well actualy better in some scenario)

#

like how i9 11900K use almost 2x the power(watts) on ryzen 9 5950x

hexed citrus
#

it's also a much bigger transistor size

just did sime ricing today

gloomy tinsel
#

also AMD NM isn't all 7nm
its 7-10Nm but yea its still better than Intel

random magnet

#

I got tired of ricing so I just ended up making my desktop look like a Mac or Windows

subtle hawk
neat brook
#

Yes

#

Recently i use vm but i planned to install it on real machine soon

subtle hawk
#

oh, you're practicing?

neat brook
#

Well i decided to try linux for the past 3 months

#

And i'm interested with it so i decided to use it

subtle hawk
#

I'm honestly bored with Linux

#

I'd like to try other Unix like BSD or Solaris

neat brook
#

Hmm i haven't try that

subtle hawk
#

OpenSolaris' descendants are the real deal

neat brook
#

Btw what os did u use currently

subtle hawk
#

Fedora

neat brook
#

Oh the red hat one

subtle hawk
#

Yes

#

the distro where its users are beta testers

neat brook
#

I feel i really want to use linux after seeing r/unixporn

#

But i still can't move rn

subtle hawk
#

After three years of ricing, I've realized that usability > ricing

#

so I would just customize my desktop to be more usable

#

which means it will look like Windows

#

inb4 go back to Windows

neat brook
#

well sometimes i also think about usability as well, which is why i can't move on from windows

hexed citrus
#

@neat brook that weebified arch install triggers me to no end

plain mica
#

how about comic sans in a terminal?

subtle hawk
#

that honestly doesn't look bad

hexed citrus
plain mica
#

i also dont mind comic sans, but everyone else is irritated by it

#

also here's a gentoo SS stolen from 4chan

#

i can't justify ricing because i'm afraid of wiping everything when i reinstall the OS.
i instead spent a lot of time building out my own scripts to reinstall software after my OSUniSip

subtle hawk
#

Or backup the home folder

#

The most plebian rice I've done was making GNOME look like Windows 7

This guy really said

#

Apple copied everyone

#

If thats the case everyone copied the original iPhone 3GS

subtle hawk
#

It's the other way around for phones AkagiLUL

#

Everyone tries so hard to copy the iPhone but fails at optimization and security updates

#

Only the Pixel managed to be like the iPhone in updates and they're not trying to become an iPhone copy from what I can see

hexed citrus
#

they don't all copy iphones

#

what they're trying to copy is designs and features prople have adopted

quartz atlas
#

more people shld copy the power button fingerprint sensor from sony

#

shit is amazin

hexed citrus
#

@quartz atlas that shit is garbage

#

wdym

#

it's a very narrow scanner that you would need to swipe your finger over to get the full print

sadge everyone going for underscreen fingerprint readers

gloomy tinsel

still likes the homebutton Fingerprint but yea its already old

the ultrasound ones

not the shitty ones that need to light up the display in that spot to be able to spot the print

quartz atlas

ultrasound ones are out already?

Oh they are, that's pog. So that means by the time I upgrade, I'll prolly get one of those if they haven't changed it to smth else EntyLUL

airpods pro good

my friend have

random magnet
#

I've seen it in a lot of midrangers here, it's quite common actually. Redmi note 9s, Realme 8, Redmi Note 10, and so on

#

remember when Samsung made an ad about including the 3.5mm jack and charger in the phone and box? Well they removed them

#

bunch of hypocrites

#

Made me hate Samsung forever

plain mica
#

the marketing department just didn't talk to the engineering department ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

like a company developing 2 products/acquiring in the same space, not that i've ever seen that happen recently at my current job

random magnet
#

they only focus on themselves, so they don't look like hypocrites in the future, and eat their own words

#

Google did that, now no more jack in Pixel 2

#

Xiaomi did that, now no more charger in their flagship, citing the same bs "environmental" reason

subtle hawk
#

if they really want to copy Apple, they should also copy the longevity

#

My 6s still received iOS 14 despite being 5 years old

#

Samsung is pretty inconsistent with updates

#

Also, they need to drop the ads making fun of Apple if they're going to be hypocrites

# subtle hawk if they really want to copy Apple, they should also copy the longevity

Android cannot have longevity, because of how many manufacturers there are, whereas iOS is only one, Apple. However, Android One is launched to remedy this, but is still voluntary. Also, it has something to do with the chipset as well, on how long will that said chipset support the phone officially. If you want longevity, take the more complex route that is custom rom

subtle hawk
#

if you asked me, the only Android phone worth buying is a Pixel

#

Xiaomi and OnePlus are a good second if you love custom roms

random magnet
#

like defeats most midrangers, at hefty price. Sucks the screen got destroyed to smithereens. Pixel 2 is what I used to play AL

subtle hawk
#

Huawei used to be great when their bootloaders were unlockable

subtle hawk
#

And the worst way possible AkagiLUL

#

also, I don't really like the idea of jailbreaking

#

like, if I wanted something customizable, I'd get an Android

#

specifically a OnePlus or Pixel

#

or a Xiaomi

random magnet
#

This is why I will never purchase anything Apple, despite its ups. It's my phone, I want to do what I want with it

subtle hawk
#

eh

#

I want a phone that "just werks" for gaming

#

My iPad 7 is pretty great at that

#

hell, even my 6s ran Azur Lane like butter

Unless you want something extravagant like ROG Phone 5 or Legion Phone duel 2

subtle hawk
#

The Gamer Phone AkagiLUL

#

although, I would LOVE to own a ROG Phone 5 with LineageOS

random magnet
#

hehe, ROGs are fully customisable, Asus is friendly towards their customers

#

and best of all, Asus is NOT chinese, which means they won't be restricted to some conditions

subtle hawk
#

I remember Asus had Intel Atom based phones before

random magnet
#

yep, early days of smartphones. Intel stopped because even they couldn't catch up to the ever growing Mediatek and Qualcomm

#

AMD was supposed to be there but their mobile division was absorbed by Qualcomm, making Qualcomm the AMD of mobile chipsets, and Mediatek the Intel

subtle hawk
#

Mediatek is usually for the Cheap Chinese phone

#

Samsung has their own thing

hexed citrus
#

iOS
good programming

subtle hawk
#

It's optimized though

#

and it "just werks" for 4-5 years

#

Pixel is almost 1:1 with the iPhone for me

#

or if I had to do the DIY route, Xiaomi or OnePlus

#

ROG phones are pretty pog with the specs though, and ASUS is very kind to modders from what I can tell (unless this has changed)

#

Apart from the Pixel, idk any Android phone that has long term updates unless I go the custom rom route and even then I can only think of Pixel, ASUS, Xiaomi, and OnePlus that allows this

#

But apart from that, iOS isn't that great for customization. I'm buying a Pixel as a 6s replacement because I want an Android again

anyone have any recommendations for KVM switches?
are ones that have video ports included worth it?

hexed citrus
#

KVM (keyboard video mouse) switches output all that to all inputs

#

you just have a button to toggle between them

plain mica
#

ah right, that's what the V stands for.
well you should tell that to Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TS5JNT3/

i ended up ordering that one because there wasn't one that could support high-res + high-refresh rate monitors for sub $100 USD.
i'll have to settle for multiple button presses, 1 per monitor + 1 with the USB switch

hexed citrus

obv

#

KVM switches are mostly meant for servers

where you have a VGA port and 2 USBs for keyboard and mouse

newegg/ebay are ok sites, you'll probably end up waiting for it to ship from somewhere in china either way

i've never used ali-express, i've heard of people scamming others with fake chips right now

vagrant holly
#

you get find them on amazon too

umbral onyx
#

That's the thing

#

I am scared of scams

#

I wanna see if I can get something better too

vagrant holly
#

doubtful you'll find something better

#

i mean you could find something better in terms of build quality maybe, but it's not gonna give you much better performance if at all

umbral onyx
#

Is that so?

vagrant holly
#

unlike full on desktops, laptops are very limited in terms of upgrades

umbral onyx
#

I see

#

Right now they gave me thermal cooling paste and some adjustments for me to use the laptop but they told me not to do intense stuff to it

#

I guess that means no rendering I suppose

vagrant holly
#

while on a desktop you can go out and swap out your basic case fans with some noctuas or gentle typhoons, are way more limited

#

just get a fan from as rob said, newegg, ebay or amazon

#

put in the serial number and go from there

#

if the fan isn't enough, get one of those stands with fans

#

tho mind you, they aren't as effective as people say in my opinion

umbral onyx
#

I got those stands with fans

#

But it's slippery on my table

#

So I did not use it

"I'm not trying to erase that the desktop vs laptop argument will have a clear winner depending on your circumstances, but a lot of this is made with the assumption that you can simply head out to the store and buy what you need with little difficulty, and at the manufacturer's recommended price at that. We live in a weird world right now, and the argument to "wait for the next generation of hardware before you upgrade" has been going for years.

Due to a combination of the global silicon shortage reducing production, scalpers using bots to buy up available stock to resell and massively inflated prices and the ongoing cryptocurrency boom motivating cryptominers to buy up gaming cards to build huge mining farms, people have been unsuccessfully trying to buy hardware for months and this doesn't look like it's going to get easier any time soon."

#

he's not COMPLETELY wrong

#

he's not saying laptops are superior to desktops

#

it's more the title being click baity

#

he even admits desktops are superior, he simply suggests laptops and gaming laptops as an alternative RIGHT NOW

#

he's most likely assuming that the gaming laptops in question will be used as desktops (always plugged in) and not as a portable device that runs out of juice in an hour or 2

get out of framework that shit is literally deprecated

sadly this is a breaking change to literally everything

everyone has to retarget and recompile

I've been using .NET 5 and will migrate to 6 as soon as it drops to usable in production

do you think intel gpu gonna be good and change the gpu market or it just bad as hell

vagrant holly
#

intel gpu is more likely going to just be an improved version of the typical "intel HD graphics"

#

nothing ground breaking, likely just an improvement to make it an acceptable baseline budget GPU
companies will buy them to include them in their pre-built budget PCs

aren't captchas actually just ways to train neural networks with image recognition anyway? Omegalilwoo

whole thing is kind of sketchy

plain mica

i mean google's captcha service was free because of that iirc. now they want to charge for it since they dont need to training, i bet.

hexed citrus
#

at least now with this we won't need to deal with captchas

plain mica
#

im not convinced it will take off, though.
the current state of 2FA all using SMS still shows how slow adoption can be.

hexed citrus
#

it's because there's not business incentive

#

this incentivises companies to act since this is a lot more lightweight than captchas

#

which means less strain on their infrastructure

vagrant holly
#

wonder if they'll make PC cases with built-in systems like yubi key

#

that would be cool

hexed citrus
#

those aren't built into cases

those are built into motherboards

and they're not that secure

on mobile devices you can assure that it's you specifically who's using the device

while on desktops it's a bit more complicated

it is tachiyomi

the fucc kind of plugins do u use

so u have no online sources?

could be coincidence

Meh. Can't even find where I read that. Not even gonna sweat.

#

Here's another one. Any thoughts on this bit: Framework, company/brand wise?

hexed citrus
#

which bit

mental coyote
#

They're a startup that makes laptops that you can yank/replace pretty much every part out of, including mobo.

hexed citrus
#

seen this idea before

#

gonna have to see if it can actually take off

#

else it's a fad

mental coyote
#

I'm verging the same way, myself. If it does, that'd be damned cool.

#

But, laptops and phones alike have tried it, and none managed to pull it off.

hexed citrus
#

the price is not bad

mental coyote
#

No, not at all. Especially the DIY option.

hexed citrus
#

having multiple keyboard layouts is pog

mental coyote
#

Not to mention, imagine how much you'd save just swapping in a new board every 2-3 years.

hexed citrus
#

for 1300$

#

not bad at all

#

this is more or less what I have in my surface pro 7+

mental coyote
#

Honestly hope they can make it work.

hexed citrus
#

now if the modules are hot swappable

mental coyote
#

Well. That's a good question. They all, from my understanding, run on a pci 4.0 hub inside the machine.

vagrant holly
#

remember there was this modular desktop concept a while ago

Not untrue.

and normally, people who use laptops are because they are portable, not replaceable. Laptops are meant for people who don't know how to replace parts on their own

random magnet
mental coyote
#

Honestly, the main thing I miss on phones is easily-replaced batteries.

#

Used to always keep a spare, on older ones.

random magnet
#

they know batteries die, but they want them to die faster so they can charge you for replacement, or buy a new phone

hexed citrus
#

people that use laptops use them because
A. They need to move often
B. Can't accommodate the size of a tower
C. Need something that can work outside of a wall plug
D. Something that can be given to employees and tracked with ease

#

also they are not meant for people that don't know how to replace parts on their own

#

they're meant for those 4 reasons above

Hello smart people. Do any of you know how to camera? Particularly, could you give me advice and knowledge about the camera I just bought?~

#

The only seller comment was that the flash is stuck closed, but other than that it looks like it works fine

severe falcon
#

does anyone know about boosting wifi signal? my grandparents need it for their security system but im not sure if they need a better router or signal boosters

hexed citrus
#

rolls up sleeves

#

@severe falcon depends on multiple factors, how many walls, what they're made of, nearby wifi, how many clients, how much traffic

severe falcon
#

its a few walls but their wifi is kinda spotty

#

the tv sometimes goes out randomly

#

probably like 3-4 walls to go through

#

but the security cameras would only add like 2-3 clients

#

and its their home so theres really no other wifi around

severe falcon
hexed citrus
#

those are piece of cake for 2.4 to penetrate

#

any other wifi nearby?

severe falcon
#

no, the houses out there are very separated

#

i dont even think they show up on the wifi list when you try to connect

hexed citrus
#

alright then they need a good dedicated wireless AP

#

most likely they have the garbagio stock router

severe falcon
#

well its not isp stock, but ye its probably a $40 router from walmart

#

belkin i think

hexed citrus
#

throw a ubiquity AP in there

#

it will make it much better

#

also it needs to be in the spacial center of the house

severe falcon
#

ok i know nothing about routers and stuff

#

tf is an AP

#

also spacial center isnt gonna work

hexed citrus
#

this is good for small networks

severe falcon
#

oh wait so that thing goes in the center?

hexed citrus
#

if you want more oomph then there's the big brother of that one

severe falcon
#

and the router can be wherever?

hexed citrus
#

yeah that goes somewhere on the ceiling or wall

#

and you run a single cable to it

severe falcon
#

oof a cable

hexed citrus
#

then have a PoE injector on the other side

#

either way you need to run a cable

#

you can run them either inside the wall

#

or near the edge of the floor/roof

severe falcon
#

so is there nothing like a wifi repeater?

hexed citrus
#

wifi repeaters are garbage

#

just like mesh wifi

severe falcon
#

so is this AP a router? or does it connect to their existing router?

hexed citrus
#

not really

#

a AP is a Access Point

#

basically it only broadcasts wifi

#

IP addresses and routing is still handled by the router

severe falcon
#

ok so i run a cable from the router to this thing?

hexed citrus
#

yeah

severe falcon
#

i just need to know everything cuz im def gonna be the one who has to install it

hexed citrus
#

ethernet

#

and since it may be a long cable run

#

you may need to add the plugs yourself

#

those are generally a piece of cake to do

severe falcon
#

would this thing be more powerful than their current router?

#

also whats a PoE?

hexed citrus
#

MUCH much more powerful

#

power over ethernet

#

basically you send it power from the router to it so that you don't need to have a wall socket near it

severe falcon
#

can a cheap router handle that?

hexed citrus
#

it uses a special injector box since only high end routers can do PoE from the get go

#

basically you plug in your router ethernet cable into it as well as power

severe falcon
#

oh ok

hexed citrus
#

then out goes a ethernet cable with PoE

#

they include that injector in the box

severe falcon
#

ok so if we put this next to the router, it should still be able to reach the tv better right?

hexed citrus
#

probably

#

probably not

#

best coverage is if it's in the center of the house

#

else you'll have very uneven coverage

#

remember that the radiation pattern is a sphere

#

but it changes based on obstacles and such

severe falcon
#

so heres a diagram

#

red is the router, blue is the tv, purple is the potential cameras, and the green is where most of the devices using wifi are usually

#

i dont think its gonna be possible to put it other than where the router is

hexed citrus
#

the optimal spot if you want to reach the cameras and that back room

severe falcon
#

back room doesnt matter as much, most of the devices are just phones/ipads

#

but anyway this was helpful, thank you

hexed citrus
#

btw this is useful

#

nobody knows ur running wiring there

severe falcon
#

the problem is matching the current molding

#

we'll try it in the router spot, and if it still needs more strength, then we can worry about moving it

#

@hexed citrus oh also, will i need to set up the wifi again? or does it use the current wifi settings?

hexed citrus
#

you will need to redo wifi

severe falcon
#

ok

shut sapphire
#

For starting out, and for $87?

random magnet
#

does it have an adjustable lens?

#

or a flippable display?

#

i recommend buying a camera with a flippable display, so you can double it as a selfie cam

#

here, they start for around, like, 30K php new

#

or say, around $600

#

idk for used though, they are much cheaper

#

ahh I see why it's cheap

like dirt cheap

it's a 2005 dslr with only 8mp

you're better off with a budget phone bruh

I checked the specs again since I was confused about the price, why is it dirt cheap

flippable display is a fad

and a waste of money

if u want selfies get a damn phone

random magnet

although, like I said depends on the user

For example, i want mine to have it since am also doing video

however

#

if you're doing photography

#

you might not need it

#

or

#

not need it at all

hexed citrus
#

at all

#

for videos then get a video camera

#

as the saying goes

right tool for the right job

random magnet

We are also actually planning that

since DSLRs are quite limiting

#

but we ain't rich either, we are just starting again too

hexed citrus

just get 2 different ones

#

will be cheaper

wait

how much would that cost me?

#

can you suggest me?

hexed citrus

I'm not a camera person myself but I can ask my friend that a professional photographer tomorrow

random magnet
#

got it. Thanks for the tip

hexed citrus
#

he has like 6 different cameras

#

and even more lenses

random magnet
#

heh, am planning to do photography as well, so am learning the basics

#

as you may have known, not every function is on a phone

#

I know already about the basics, just have to relearn them and experiment

#

for the meantime, a phone with plentiful manual controls is good

hexed citrus
#

phones do a metric ton of post processing

random magnet
#

no matter how much MP they put in there

#

unlike DSLRs which most do it RAW and unfiltered

hexed citrus
#

anything professional needs to be able to be color accurate and as clean as possible

random magnet
#

yep. Actual cameras still are better and is always better than phones ever be

#

it has to be colour accurate, with little to no processing
