[latent oar]

Probably not

Guess I have to record shit manually now

[viscid dagger]

please move on, holy fuk

[gloomy tinsel]

that looks ancient

but that shit remind me of That phone in doraemon

[hexed citrus]

https://frame.work/blog/open-sourcing-our-firmware

[mental coyote]

Just got around to reading that one.

[subtle hawk]

Finally, I've been waiting for this

[hexed citrus]

most of you have no idea what the code actually does

[subtle hawk]

wdym

it's firmware

The concept is easy to get

[hexed citrus]

so what does that firmware do

what is it responsible for

[subtle hawk]

depends, could be handling the network controller or modem for example

or the LED lights

the nitty gritty that's usually unverifiable

or, my favorite, the webcam

[hexed citrus]

see, you have absolutely no idea what it does

[subtle hawk]

i don't get you lol

[hexed citrus]

the embedded controller is responsible for preparing the boot environment before the system POSTs, also it handles signaling and peripheral initialization during startup after which it delegates control over to the OS

like for example the charging and battery management circuit

[subtle hawk]

Oh, for power

I had a different firmware in mind

[hexed citrus]

if ur so paranoid about the webcam you can go take the display apart and cut off the cable and unglue it from the chassis

[subtle hawk]

wait, EC handles the PS/2 stuff too right?

[hexed citrus]

no

[subtle hawk]

ah

im reading their github and it says it handles the keyboard and touchpad

[hexed citrus]

it handles signaling for the keyboard and touchpad

it basically tells the touchpad to start sensing and process the raw signal received from the touchpad into something usable by the OS

[subtle hawk]

oh, i see

That's actually one of the things I had in mind once I got to the github

[hexed citrus]

a embedded controller never does high level logic

it acts as a HAL for the OS

[subtle hawk]

is EC the lowest level

[hexed citrus]

yes

[gloomy tinsel]

So if your GPU doesn't have video encoder it can't record any shit right?

[quaint marten]

yes but you can still use your CPU

[random magnet]

man these look shit

exactly why I said AVs are not my thing

just that, it detects a lot of false positives

[flint bobcat]

eh if you trust it, it's not hard to put an exception for the applications you want to run

On windows defender

[viscid dagger]

🤮

[gloomy tinsel]

BRUH

BRUH WTF WAS THAT PRICE DUDE

[random magnet]

Oppo be selling a $350 phone but with 2019 specs

can't believe that either. Even Motorola sells better-equipped phones at a similar price

MY TCL 10 5G IS ONLY $200 and it has SD765G

[viscid dagger]

@gloomy tinsel meanwhile in India

almost half the Europe's price

but still, oppo being oppo, still overpriced

[gloomy tinsel]

should just be like 80$

[viscid dagger]

don't ask me

[gloomy tinsel]

a fkin Mi A1 bruh

this guy hand on a Mi A1 with iphone skin and photo using Mi A1
here I'm using my old Mi A1 because my Poco F3 was charging

what a coincidence

[viscid dagger]

@gloomy tinsel

lol

better buy Note 10 5G

or note 10s

wait, G95 > SD680 right?

[gloomy tinsel]

G95 is better than 680

redmi note 11 is just like normal note 10, with Amoled screen +90hz display

well we can see an upgrade here but in chipset no

[vagrant holly]

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

seems like nvidia's bid to purchase arm isn't gonna go through

[random magnet]

oppo likes selling overpriced shit

but at least their software is good

I don't like rn11 series

[gloomy tinsel]

What U mean color OS is shit man,
idk for now.
but for Oxygen is well optimized

[random magnet]

better than MIUI at least

[gloomy tinsel]

kek right

more dogshit
Miui for Poco
PooPoo launcher

[random magnet]

I don't like ColorOS either, it's so vibrant and saturated and filled with a lot of bloat

but at least it's optimised better than MIUI

[sudden raft]

[odd juniper]

@subtle hawk 😢 I need ur expertise

[subtle hawk]

on what

i havent kept up with latest tech in years

[odd juniper]

its ok i dont need helpw ith tech

im domb when it comes to audio

So i bought a pair of speakers which i thought would be nice for my pc setup

except uh

they need a amplifier?

if that's what it's called

https://nl.yamaha.com/nl/products/audio_visual/speaker_systems/ns-p51/index.html

can u recommend me a suiting but not too expensive amp

that can fit left center and right speakers

and maybe a subwoofer if i want to get that later on

[subtle hawk]

uh my amp i use for headphones

so im not too sure tbh

i also dont know audio at all

[odd juniper]

damnit

you failed me

now I've to google it myself

I mean further

[subtle hawk]

good luck

[odd juniper]

[odd juniper]

@subtle hawk fuck i'll just return it, it'll be too difficult anyways

[subtle hawk]

i think the speakers i have dont need an amp

they came with this huge whack off subwoofer and everything plugs into it

i guess thats like an amp for the speakers

i havent used them in years though cos i prefer headphones

[odd juniper]

mine doesn't have that

I assumed

the huge ass centre spekaer would have it

that's why I bought it

[subtle hawk]

[odd juniper]

I'll just return it and get a edifier or something

@subtle hawk https://www.mediamarkt.nl/nl/product/_logitech-z-623-2-1-speakersysteem-1136943.htmlor orthis

[subtle hawk]

nice link

yeah mines similar to that

my big speaker thing plugs into main power

and the mini ones plug into it

[odd juniper]

much simpeler for a domb person like me

I hope they've it at the location i want to return it

[subtle hawk]

[gloomy tinsel]

any headphone for suggestion budget 80+ limit 150$ (usd)

hope this actually takes off

hydrogen fuel cell tech is too expensive to make it a fuel used by every car on earth, but public services would benefit from it greatly

[versed blade]

Saw your ping

Hmmm

Really depends what you looking for

ANC? In ear? On ear? Over the ear?

[gloomy tinsel]

Overearofc

[versed blade]

Sony WH-CH710N

imo hands down one of the best sub £100

not sure how much USD but shouldnt differ much

[gloomy tinsel]

doesn't available in my country

[versed blade]

rip

hmmm

[gloomy tinsel]

how about Corsair virtuoso/G733/Artics 7/Artics 7P/artics Pro/artics 9 wireless/razer blackshark V2 Wireless/Senheisser GSP602(discount)

jesus soo many artics

[versed blade]

you want something for gaming?

even then

I'd advise against gaming headphones

better buy pro/music related ones

and adapt them to gaming

with a mic and audio profile

[gloomy tinsel]

hmm

[versed blade]

imo it's much cheaper in the long run and more flexible

it's just weird seeing people with gaming headphones outside

[gloomy tinsel]

most people have IEM I had a cheap iem, well its not bad just too much bass

and my headphone broke, it can't fit my head now. head getting bigger

senheisser not bad right?

GSP 602

mostly I bring headphone outdoor if I go to school or I don't give a fuck about my sorrounding sometimes

the most durable is G733 mostly

and its the cheapest on the pack

should i just go with that?

what I'm concerned of is the battery
because 2 years ago i had a wireless headset it just broke after 3 weeks of charging at the midnight and using it in the morning till night time

yea it smell like electronics burning and won't charge

[viscid dagger]

lol i read it handphone

me dumb

[gloomy tinsel]

Once you have flagship phone
most of the time you will stop researching about phones

or less doing research

[versed blade]

true

Hmmm

idk about it tbh

I am extremely happy with my philips XHR2

as home headphones and getting the bose qc45 soon

for everything else

[odd juniper]

I would like to thank nvidia for not showing the colour depth options (locked at 8bit) before changing and applying the colour format output I was very confused

[sudden raft]

what do they connect with
bananas or RCA or just bare wire

[sudden raft]

most monitors use FRC for 10-bit anyway

[odd juniper]

Yeah Ik but you still have to pick 10bit as a option even though it's 8bit + frc

[odd juniper]

Bare wire

Already returned it not gonna bother

[sudden raft]

you don't need more RAM, people say.....

[quartz atlas]

most people aint doing creative work

most people dont need $5000 quadros either

[drifting karma]

Soo
I am now corncerned about build quality and durability
I heard that Alienware laptops are very durable, even the one i bought like more than 10 years ago still running well on latest titles
So, which one is more durable, better quality and lasts longer after extensive usage (and i know this can't be clearly verified as the two i'm gonna mention is really high end stuff)?
Alienware x17 or MSI GE76?

If that's difficult for you, just compare two brands in general:
Alienware, lenovo and MSI laptops

[sudden raft]

lenolegions are actually really good value

i distrust MSI even though they build good notebooks

alienwares are built a lot better than they used to be though? mm

question is by durable do you mean won't die due to silicon failure or won't reach new games unplayable in 5 years

if your budget allows I'd probably recommend you just go for the alienware? but if you're price sensitive the legion 5 pro is honestly built brilliantly and runs well with the ryzen versions

[hexed citrus]

bungie is who made halo a thing in the first place

and destiny

so it is a jab at MS yes

[vagrant holly]

100%

does xbox even have any other mascots?

halo is like, their flagship title for xbox

gears of war was iconic for the 360 but the whole franchise is pretty dead and despite the dedicated fanbase, just like crysis, it was always more of a technical demo type of thing rather than a standalone game series

and epic games is more of a free agent at this point, doing whatever they want, purchasing resources for creators and making them available for free, recently aquiring art station AND consistently giving away games for free

[sudden raft]

i liked blinx

[fringe goblet]

Guys, if I plan on building a PC

[umbral onyx]

How long can an SD card be left aloned unused

[fringe goblet]

Is any casing ok?

[umbral onyx]

Before it dies

[hexed citrus]

as long as the parts fit inside yes

[hexed citrus]

it doesn't have a time bomb in it, it can sit forever and stil be usable

[umbral onyx]

As in

I am too lazy to movemy stuff

so I am not sure how long I can leave it alone

[sudden raft]

an SD card???? i think it takes like twenty years or something before bits start flipping on their own

flash memory is strange in that it needs to be renergized every once in a while to ensure charges don't start migrating

hard drives usually take longer

[umbral onyx]

in short, i need to connect it huh?

urghhhhh

so lazy

[sudden raft]

bigger thing cannot go in small thing simple physics

[umbral onyx]

[sudden raft]

you can theoretically be lazy for at least another few years

theoretically

[umbral onyx]

I kept my shit in a bag

in a storeroom

under heavy load

multiple heavy loads

so I am lazy af

[umbral onyx]

so in short

SD cards cannot die

am I right?

[fringe goblet]

Hey is MSI brand ok?

[quartz atlas]

under normal storage conditions, yes

pretty much

[quartz atlas]

depends, but whatever is better than gigabyte

oh

casing

lianli, fractal, CM, corsair, inwin

but honestly, just look for design and a decent build quality, with the features that you want

its pretty hard to screw up a metal or plastic box

[sudden raft]

i trust msi even less than i do gigabyte on a corporate level

[hexed citrus]

you buy the product

not the brand

[pale pawn]

looks at razer laptop users

[sudden raft]

yes well
msi toots a big horn but often their product is nowhere as superlative as they promote it as

whereas gigabyte's best is absolutely phenomenal

...but when they mess up they mess up absurdly badly

[hexed citrus]

(insert any brand name here) toots a big horn but often their product is nowhere as superlative as they promote it as

[gloomy tinsel]

should I be worried buying 3060 single fan
because that board is so small

[hexed citrus]

at the end of the day you look at reviews, spec sheets and other sources of information and make a educated decision on what to buy

[hexed citrus]

no

[gloomy tinsel]

so its gonna be fine, unless I oc it right?

[hexed citrus]

it's gonna be fine period

[gloomy tinsel]

I guess no other way back than getting 2060 for 50$ less

I'm getting that 3060 single fan. if it loud it is single fan moment

[sudden raft]

small boards are better than big boards if you ask me

[gloomy tinsel]

well not always tho

[hexed citrus]

they're not

the distance from the VRMs to the components will induce jitter and instability

sure you have better thermal dissipation courtesy of a bigger surface area but you need to make sure that your other components aren't too far to go out of spec

for example on the bigger card the traces have to run at least twice as far

[sudden raft]

the ampere founders' editions are my favorite for a reason

they even use high quality components to better accomodate the ultracompact design to boot

i think graphics cards are unnecessarily excessively large these days

on the other hand i'm into EATX motherboards because they're larger so they can fit more useful things

[quartz atlas]

you buy the brand for the general quality of products and customer support.

[quartz atlas]

[insert big brand here]'s best is absolutely phenomenal

but most big brands' actually know when to admit wrongdoing, and recall products to make the consumer whole

not try to cover up and deny issues, like what gigabyte is doing

[quartz atlas]

also, not waiting for intel arc?

[quartz atlas]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/901140095493636127/938960473372622868/03BoUhy8xMqGogBqhHxhyDC-2..v1617290043.png?width=1596&height=905

[gloomy tinsel]

30s series were actualy in much smol pcb than 20s

yeah*

[sudden raft]

i mean really
consider the x570 aorus extreme

[sudden raft]

I've seen this card personally, i want to point out it's actually a reference design

however unlike the FE-SE it still needs extra height if that's important to you

[sudden raft]

msi did the exact same when their problems came out

[quartz atlas]

totally

[gloomy tinsel]

3060 gaming experience almost feel like 2080 or 2070 super

thats way much better than my expectation

even tho, my friend say this single fan 3060 a bit hotter than normal dual fan 3060

[sudden raft]

if you insist on pedantics it was mostly background things like trying to influence and blacklist reviewers

[quartz atlas]

i'd say 3060 is ard 1080-1080ti, but with dlss and rtx, tho you wont really wanna turn on rtx with this kind of card

but then again, 10xx to 20xx isnt a huge jump anyway

[sudden raft]

it's about 2070 non-S I'd say and better at raytracing

but try to undervolt it

you'll dramatically improve your efficiency

[gloomy tinsel]

I only use it on stock settings, RTX isn't really useful in my scenario of use. maybe blender in the future

[quartz atlas]

personally waiting for 40series now

using an old p2200 as a placeholder

[sudden raft]

if you find you want to cut the heat then you should undervolt it really

[quartz atlas]

that shit runs hot af

[sudden raft]

amperes can mostly do like 0.9V at stock clocks

instead of the 1V they typically ship set at

and you'll easily kill a few degrees of power consumption by cutting the voltage

[sudden raft]

i find those entry level cards absolutely adorable

[gloomy tinsel]

I see people did 0.85
but yea I'll try 0.9

[sudden raft]

i tried to get mine at 0.99V 2000MHz but it seems that might have been optimistic

like it seems ampere has pretty harsh scaling losses beyond that?

[quartz atlas]

no frills single slot quadro. but eh, if it can run genshin at 60fps at full res, its good enough for now

[sudden raft]

trying to run at 2GHz and above really needs 1V and more
but stock clocks and 1900MHz or less easily go at 0.85 to 0.9...

[sudden raft]

single slot cards are a dying breed and i wish there were more?? but yeah the nvidia reference aesthetic in baby size is so cute

[quartz atlas]

i like thicc fat cards

i mean, atx mb, cm cosmos case

[sudden raft]

well we're the opposite then since i went especially out of my way to get a single slot card

[quartz atlas]

the baby looks weird af in it

[sudden raft]

but then again I'm different because i have all expansion slots full

[quartz atlas]

what u even running on them?

[gloomy tinsel]

I like thicc fat card too but

this single fan had the lowest price of them all

so yea why not

[quartz atlas]

i honestly dont think i'd ever use any of my pcie slots lmao

[sudden raft]

i also don't like triple slot monsters because they get unnecessarily heavy and saggy

[quartz atlas]

rgb support bracket yo

[sudden raft]

my 980 sags terribly already

[gloomy tinsel]

oh yea that 3070 asus noctua is 4 slot right

[sudden raft]

3.8

[gloomy tinsel]

yea just say it 4, kek

[sudden raft]

i recently received a photo of it with corsair fans replaced in w

but idk all the new cards these days are >3 slots

and make it impossible to fit extra expansion cards sometimes

heck i can't even find new boards with >3 slots?

that aren't entry level boards

[gloomy tinsel]

My itx board only fit 1 card and its all I need

[sudden raft]

as much as i want a tiny itx desktop
i have too much peripheral components to do one

[gloomy tinsel]

isn't Micro ATX also have 1 slot pcie and some had 2

[sudden raft]

[sudden raft]

most have two slots i think? iirc atx is 7 slots and matx is like 5 or 4

in terms of board height

[gloomy tinsel]

no what I mean is PCIE slot, not the height

wait

this is me on bruh moment or

[sudden raft]

like i mean
atx boards at standard height iirc have enough room for 7 slots

and matx iirc is 4

[gloomy tinsel]

R5 5600x
B550i Aorus P AX
NZXT H1 case (come with aio,psu,)

[quartz atlas]

not u haha, kerriope with all their slots full

[gloomy tinsel]

oh bruh

[quartz atlas]

i just upgraded to 12gen from a decade on using 4th gen

[sudden raft]

two sound cards
don't ask why
a main GPU
and planning for secondary GPU or extra M2

[quartz atlas]

running a single 16gb stick oem ram tho lmao

[gloomy tinsel]

[quartz atlas]

doesnt an external dac/amp not sound good to you

[gloomy tinsel]

if it work, it works

[sudden raft]

and also the problem with most 3x16 boards is the wiring means even a x1 in the x16 will cut gpu bandwidth to x8

[sudden raft]

needs external power supply, few with optical in, and no DSP

[gloomy tinsel]

also something that I feel tho
Most Intel mobo feel a lot sturdy than AMD

[quartz atlas]

im running 2 nvme 3.0 ssds in raid 1

[sudden raft]

i was originally planning for 3x 2TB gen 4

[quartz atlas]

tho i would be swapping them out for 3 4.0 nvme sometime in the future

[sudden raft]

but i had to settle for 2x2

[quartz atlas]

eh, depends on th money you're willing to spend

[sudden raft]

since asus didn't have any 3x slot boards

[gloomy tinsel]

I got a cheap gen 4. well its fine even its not the highest speed Gen 4. also it just a bit above gen 3 speed at 4000mb

PNY brand moment

[sudden raft]

i also want native 5.1 headphone virtualization

find me a dacamp doing those

[quartz atlas]

honestly, idk why im running raid 1 for nvmes but then again, im kinda paranoid over losing my data and have to do another fresh install

5.1 virtualization
ahhhhh

nvm that then

[gloomy tinsel]

can G435 do that tho :kekw:

[sudden raft]

i don't believe in usb headphones

i also prefer discrete 5.1

[quartz atlas]

out of my scope now, i dont deal with "gamer" audio products

[sudden raft]

i have a 5.1 headset with multiple drivers and its very different

[quartz atlas]

you cant do actual 5.1 in headphones, its all gonna be emulated

oh

that owl headphone thing?

[sudden raft]

strix 5.1? no

older one from cm's defunct subbrand

beta unit

[quartz atlas]

interesting, havent seen multidriver headphones in ages

[gloomy tinsel]

I just buy it so I can bring it on the go, and wireless.
sound quality not bad, idk how 7.1 or 5.1 audio on headphone is like for now

[sudden raft]

mine is from like

2009..?

[gloomy tinsel]

what the

[sudden raft]

but when you have sound that comes from all channels

it gives you a true all around sensation

[quartz atlas]

quality audio products can last really long if you take care of them

[sudden raft]

and not the "center of your head" sensation

think that thing in the cinema when dolby says all around you

[gloomy tinsel]

I'm broke

[quartz atlas]

good senn's start at like $200 and often times on sale

[gloomy tinsel]

GSP version? or wut?

epos?

[quartz atlas]

tho i prefer planars, so no more senn's for me

[sudden raft]

but otherwise i normally use audiophile analog earphones when streaming so native 5.1 virtualisation was wanted

[quartz atlas]

hd600

not the "gamer" garbage

[sudden raft]

the HD6XX is pretty affordable

[quartz atlas]

i mean, same drivers, but you are paying the "gamer" premium

^^^

[sudden raft]

not just that though gsp has a mic

[quartz atlas]

thats true, but i use my webcam mic either way

[gloomy tinsel]

it cost like 350$ here

yea

Indonesia moment

[quartz atlas]

drop.com doesnt ship to indo? they ships to singapore, which is close enuff

[gloomy tinsel]

no

Indonesia always ask for cheap from another country then sell for high (higher than other country for like 1.2x to 1.5x or more)

oh yea

[sudden raft]

I just got my adaptor so i can finally try these planar in ears

[quartz atlas]

oh no

[gloomy tinsel]

tax rate is like 100% for stuff coming from other country in Europe

tax = the stuff price

[quartz atlas]

i havent touched the IEM space since my ie800 died

[gloomy tinsel]

reason I hate my country
yeah thats why

[sudden raft]

i prefer iems in general ww

probably cause i spent much longer with them

[gloomy tinsel]

most people buy in bulk or importers get cheap price

if you buy from retailer its fucked up here

[sudden raft]

bucket list includes a hd800 though

[gloomy tinsel]

[sudden raft]

[quartz atlas]

man

mines a empy

but god are they not worth it for the price

[sudden raft]

ive borrowed a utopia once

[gloomy tinsel]

I moved away from IEM.
wanted to buy IEM at first place but headphone decided to broke

[quartz atlas]

but god are they sexy tho

[sudden raft]

they are

[gloomy tinsel]

its looks like those thing

[quartz atlas]

im thinking of moving into lcd for my next upgrade

[gloomy tinsel]

@quartz atlas ITS LOOKS LIKE THIS LMAO

[quartz atlas]

design is okay i guess

[quartz atlas]

[sudden raft]

i tested out my hiby as a dacamp

[gloomy tinsel]

WTF IS THIS THING PASSING IN MY BRAIN

O MY GOD

[quartz atlas]

you aint wrong

[sudden raft]

and it's fantastic of course but no real DSP and the driver is
a little jank

my awkward problem is
i want to keep my ancient 2007 sound card in service due to its DSP options? but it has no amp so i run it optically to something else

[sudden raft]

i like their pattern though

[quartz atlas]

Yuos

I like to buy based on design

Heck if I'm paying for kilobuck headphones

It better look good

[sudden raft]

for me though the HD800s are still the best looking

i really don't understand why this card costs so much
it's more expensive than a TUF + EK vector

which would arguably do much better unless you need the standard size

[sudden raft]

i went from sandy bridge to zen 3

[sudden raft]

smaller than even the 980's really

[gloomy tinsel]

Long card, but actually the PCB is a bit more fat than 980 and shorter

[sudden raft]

it's slightly wider but substantially shorter yes

the card's overall length is only that much because of the heatsink

honestly the design is brilliant and i still giggle when i think about how people were like "this is the worst design ever" when the first leaks broke

they sure sang a different song about the actual thing

[gloomy tinsel]

is that a 3070?

[sudden raft]

no, the 3070 has a "S" shape instead of an hourglass

[gloomy tinsel]

oh the metal

[sudden raft]

the 3070 is also a little bit shorter, i think?

i feel sad that the heatsink had to be removed really

[hexed citrus]

ayyyyyy the bois that are a couple of hours away from me

[sudden raft]

so this is what it's like to listen to balanced connections

[gloomy tinsel]

I'm getting G435 after hands on
I tried it

sound quality 2/10 (only head sorround sound not the feel of the sound/bass)

feel like getting scammed

the only thing on this headphone sound good is at games

only that

especialy
PS 5

[gloomy tinsel]

the ony shit good about this headset is vocal

[sudden raft]

you're honestly probably

better off using

like

idk

a HD600 with windows sonic

[gloomy tinsel]

yea I just gonna use this headphone on PS5, gonna search for others

[gloomy tinsel]

dude this cost top of the line in my country

[sudden raft]

what about an audio technica

[subtle hawk]

Yes

[gloomy tinsel]

@sudden raftwebsite like this is trustable?

I mean for looking the headphone sound quality before I buy things

[sudden raft]

rtings is one of the most respected and comprehensive testers ues

but i mostly consult them for displays as opposed to the other categories

crinacle is probably the most famous individual in regards to headphones

headphonesty i think is another decent site?

rtings mind you
delve into the individual sections as opposed to the general scores they give

the 660s has a bad score for gaming because it's generally regarded as having a modest sound stage

plus it's open and gaming headphones are often isolated

which I'd only consider important if you're like
gaming in a noisy place

[sudden raft]

[quiet parcel]

hello

can 3050 run with 500w psu?

i have i5 9400f if that matters

[quaint marten]

yes as long as it has an 8-pin pcie connector

[sudden raft]

gone are the days of entry level cards having no PCIe power connectors

8-pin on an entry level card

[gloomy tinsel]

just if I had roommates
I want our room become like this Lmao

but they both tech reviewer soo yea

[hexed citrus]

are you a tech reviewer

[versed blade]

@quartz atlas learned something so cool rn

at work I got introduced to automated pipelines via DBT cloud

god a blessing to schedule queries in Snowflake

shame its Python API is lacking could automate my entire main job basically otherwise

legit if it was slightly better I would be paid to just look at it

[gloomy tinsel]

nah,
wanted to be one tho

[quartz atlas]

I wished I knew what that meant

[gloomy tinsel]

the design reminds me of rtx 30 founders

[shut sapphire]

Does the phone have DRS ??

[gloomy tinsel]

Well, this is unfortunate. It turns out Apple's custom NVMe drives are amazingly fast - if you don't care about data integrity.

If you do, they drop down to HDD performance. Thread.

my friend asking why his ram only read as 1600MHz, his ram should be 3200MHz

he said he tried to claim warranty and replaced to the new one, but the frequency still same.. so it's not the ram fault

[quartz atlas]

you have 2 sticks

double them up

If you download and run CPU-z (by CPUid), and go to the tab called "Memory", it will always show you the base frequency under "DRAM Frequency", which you then multiply by 2 to get the effective clock (DDR = Double Data Rate).

Some apps reports base clock (1600MHz for your RAM at XMP settings), and other apps report effective clock (3200MHz). Both values are correct when reporting your RAM frequency.

If your RAM speed is reported as 1067 or 2133 on the other hand, then your RAM are running at default clock, and not the XMP values.

@quiet parcel

[gloomy tinsel]

sometimes default is 2666mhz if you don't enable XMP

[quiet parcel]

thanks for answer

[vagrant holly]

[flint bobcat]

[gloomy tinsel]

So I'm curious
Why is there a lot of Audio codex in my phone, even my phone only can use AAC

[sudden raft]

those are all the phone supports but you may or may not be able to actually use them depending on the paired device

[gloomy tinsel]

I tried device that can APTX it still use AAC

not sure why

and LDAC

[sick granite]

Holy hell this pixel break is annoying

is there a way to fix it? without reopen the laptop from sleepmode lol. cuz i always do that when this occurred

[gloomy tinsel]

buy new laptop :kekw:

jk

I never sleep my laptop if I don't need it so thats not happenin

[viscid dagger]

[quartz atlas]

if its not a hardware issue, i'd suggest going DDU and then reinstalling, but a temp stopgap can be just forcing windows to restart the driver, press crtl+shift+win+b

[sick granite]

i'll try that then

[gloomy tinsel]

ROG phone have issues
yes they died

mostly because of motherboard issue

the phone overheat then the board died

most people said it happen when charging and playing games, the phone became so hot then it died

and it won't turn back on

[sudden raft]

is 27,007 in cinebench 23 good
I'm trying out a new CO on a beta bios

[plucky belfry]

Huh, I didn't know about those issues

Good thing I went with a regular phone

[hexed citrus]

troubleshooting monitors is a pain in the ass

[quartz atlas]

Kek, I just send them back to the service center

[umbral onyx]

Can anyone invite me to riseup?

[gloomy tinsel]

@quartz atlas

I want to ask something

this is a scam right?

sussy email

[quartz atlas]

why would you ask me

also, seems like it

google the sender

but then again, sender can be spoofed

[gloomy tinsel]

I was like no
This account only had hundreds of subs and then dell wtf

yea idk, a lot of scam get into my acc email

last time its pierre cardin lmao

then louis vuitton

and stuff

[versed blade]

This should be enough to tell it's a scam

Also if Google put is as a scam

and seems like one

...

[gloomy tinsel]

@sudden raftI tried HD600. sound better than g435 I had just the sound stage feel similar. on bass its a bit more bass just its kinda flat sometimes

also vocal is more clear

yea totaly gonna get one in future

I need to do this :kekw:

also should I do this If i want more

is it only me or windows spatial audio get noisy but also pop a bit more soundstage

[sick granite]

Im going to buy a mouse, with budget under 100myr, which is better deathadder essential or G102?

[gloomy tinsel]

I already buy both
click and sensor is way better on razer. but also razer is like 10gram heavier

[sick granite]

i dont mind hravy mouse

[gloomy tinsel]

optional: if you get a viper mini around 120myr when it is discount

[sick granite]

shopee alr have a discount sale now

[gloomy tinsel]

yea viper mini is goated tho

[sick granite]

and yeah, i've seen viper mini on that price

[gloomy tinsel]

idk if you can get it

but yea

up to you

[sick granite]

but i dont like grip mouse

so i'll just get razer aight

[gloomy tinsel]

G102 have double click problem in a few months (based on how you use it)

[sick granite]

i play games that involving competitive gameplay

so razer it is

[gloomy tinsel]

Razer Deathadder essential if you poke the mouse click it can register double click, if you press all the way down it doesn't. its why they said this mouse can double click

I'll send you the vid

[sick granite]

oh i see

that's actually useful rather than hassle tho, cuz i do click heavily

rather than light clicking

[gloomy tinsel]

the G102 I already throw it away

yea frustation

[sick granite]

i can hear that

mann that mouse looks thinner than my current

[gloomy tinsel]

its bulky tho

[sick granite]

My curent mouse is wide, but light

i'll show, it's a very old mouse. And unfortunate that it has csuse problems this year

[gloomy tinsel]

yea most mouse doesn't feel good after 6 years

some people 2 years for fps gaming

or even just months

[sick granite]

nvm, looking back

that mouse is snol

smol*

or its just my hand getting bigger

[gloomy tinsel]

well up to you

I don't feel any problem using Razer DE essential

I did a crazy flick using this one too

[sick granite]

This personal experience looks promising

imma buy it then

[gloomy tinsel]

only 1 tho
its feels too big for me

so yea my problem not the mouse

[sick granite]

i like bigger mouse better

like my old mouse

is very wide

lol

[gloomy tinsel]

yea no problem then

[sick granite]

big mouse can handrest, even when gripping it the palm wont feel hurt. But i can understand if your wrist would get tired moving the huge mouse

[gloomy tinsel]

ah palm grip

yea its reasonable

I used claw and fingertip hybrid

because if I use palm the lower part of my hand get slipped under the mouse sometimes

[sick granite]

oh

I've used fingertip mouse once from my friend

mann, my hands do rlly hate it

[gloomy tinsel]

yeah that part

[sick granite]

What a design

the designer must been proud

[gloomy tinsel]

my tip is just if you had a bit more money get a viper mini

also if it is 120myr

or if the store can give you try on product

you can try them and choose what you like soo yea

I hope you like the product

[sick granite]

on official store, it's 140 now

as in discount sale

[gloomy tinsel]

also yea I forgot

Deathadder essential is like half the price of it

[sick granite]

Well, im not going to wait long.

i'll just go for DE

Also, thank you odyssey

[viscid dagger]

@gloomy tinsel a l l r o u n d

[gloomy tinsel]

its like having snap 750G right?

[sand wedge]

Upgrade is almost complete

i will change the monitor on the right with a new one...one small problem....my graphic cards (1050ti) has a hdmi, display port and a dvi slot....i dont remember that todays monitor has a dvi slot....

[flint bobcat]

dvi

[sand wedge]

old graphics card

might need to look out for a adapter

either i take my old dvi to vga..or i gonna get dvi to hdmi

since i order this piece

[hexed citrus]

changed my setup to use a monitor stand instead of occupying half the desk with monitor stands

[vagrant holly]

neat

[solar steppe]

thats exactly what I did

I use stand instead for the exact same reason

[versed blade]

nice

now hide the cables

[drifting karma]

What kind of laptop for college do you reccomend for me that dosen't overheat easily? My macbook pro 2015 get overheats frequently.

Also can civil construction be automated? Design and construction?

[versed blade]

what kind of workload do you expect to do?

[drifting karma]

Ehhh, i'm not sure...
Well
Let's just say doing >4 hours per day?

Idk
Researching about the subject, doing assignments and not even mention drawing digitally in later years

Like i just want to use a laptop from college to work

[versed blade]

I would suggest to inform yourself in regards on what kind of programs and application you will need for the course you're going for and then research how heavy those apps and programs are to run

based on this information it would be easier to make a decision

[flint bobcat]

that looks clean as fuck

[ebon mason]

yeee my set is not clean like this xD

i7 9700kf
32 GB ram
RTX 3070

[gloomy tinsel]

not bad tho

Still I gonna go performance over aesthethics

[ebon mason]

RBG Fan in new smartphone xD

Its new Nubia gaming smartphone

[gloomy tinsel]

noice

red magic

[ebon mason]

hmm its weird in my country 3050 cost like 60$ cheaper than US and with tax inside 23%

my gpu

what i pay

tax 23% inside

[quartz atlas]

$660 for a 3070 jesus

[gloomy tinsel]

thats a steal

[quartz atlas]

steal

you wot mate

[quaint marten]

where do i find that price

that msrp never existed

[quartz atlas]

Just be faster than bots kek

[gloomy tinsel]

I mean in my country 3070 price were still like

900$

with 600$ here you get 2060

700 for 3060

750-early 900 for 3060ti

[quartz atlas]

prices have been dropping massively

you referring to "retail" or 2nd hand

[gloomy tinsel]

retail*

even official store

[quartz atlas]

Kek

Retail are scalpers now

Not surprising

No one turns down free $

[gloomy tinsel]

I mean

yea

Not really official store
Nvidia Clown store

[quartz atlas]

Why would an official nvidia store sell colorful cards lmao

That's obviously a local distributor

[gloomy tinsel]

official distributor

there is no real official store here

even OEM = FAKE here

or copycat

[quartz atlas]

Ye

I think it's pretty much same across SEA

[ebon mason]

remember TAXES

23% here

[ebon mason]

looks like 970 msi xD

[ebon mason]

soo 499$ + 115 = 614$ but i remember in official nvidia was about 650 but u cant buy it.

this one for 660 was not the cheapest but 3's place

the cheapest was for 630

i have no problem with this gpu

when day when i buy 1070 made by palit for like 350$

when it was new

and sell for the same money

xDDDDDD

used

Now 3070 is not popular 3070ti is more

more version

the cheapest

if anyone wanna know

Its weird than here 3050 is cheaper with 23% tax than in US without

[sudden raft]

i'm surprised the firecuda is lighter

[gloomy tinsel]

@ebon mason this is the price of GPU's (Zotac brand)before 30 series hit the market and not much people into mining

also thats in IDR so yea you can convert it to usd

gross 14.5K/$ (usd)

[ebon mason]

i just do overclock my monitor normally its 75hz but i can do only 80

i have 21:9 2560x1080

still 5 more

this monitor is dying soo i dont care

xD

[sudden raft]

are those r/w values backwards

[ebon mason]

no lel

its how much i writes and reads

i am uploader

thats why

[sudden raft]

but if you upload

wouldn't it be reads

also i hope those are platters because i can't think of a consumer flash drive that's rated for more than like 1,400TBW

[ebon mason]

both have like 10 years

its weird

it was my main hdd to upload and download

now i have 2x nvme ssd + 2x ssd + 2x hdd + 2x ex hdd

[ebon mason]

this can be new mac studio

in left

[sudden raft]

so... mac mini non-mini

[sudden raft]

i still don't get how you'd get so much writes if it's uploading

uploading should only involve reads

[ebon mason]

like i know

xD

can be bug

but i check how much i have now and its more

not like 10000gb

but about 1tb

ye i download a lot

[sudden raft]

apparently one of mine says 10,294GB writes

which is 10.2TBW

in... a month??...

[ebon mason]

@sudden raft

its bug

xD

[sudden raft]

maybe it's supposed to say MB

[ebon mason]

90 lel

xD

[sudden raft]

for a small drive like that

90% by then

sounds about right

[ebon mason]

this ssd have 4 years

this 1tb 1

MB

looks like this

its ex hdd

or other ssd

dont remember

i use this app

[gloomy tinsel]

is it only me or everyone else feel brand are picky to each other

like Lenovo give heat pipe on their celeron laptop

[ebon mason]

its burned?

[gloomy tinsel]

but Asus give only fins like this on ryzen 7 3700U

[gloomy tinsel]

reflection

unless the thing had Dgpu

[ebon mason]

my last notebook died

xD

gpu problem

and i sell in parts

i know how to fix this but it will cost too much

[gloomy tinsel]

its always cost too much to fix a laptop

[ebon mason]

new gtx 850m from china was 80$ + 70$ fix it sooo nope

[gloomy tinsel]

either throw it away

sell for cheap

or sell for parts

[ebon mason]

[ebon mason]

[gloomy tinsel]

[ebon mason]

anyone know why prices of gpu in us is higher than in eu?

with tax inside

its weird

[sudden raft]

if your nas OS supports it, and your router is set up accordingly, yes, probably

as a ftp server perhaps

[gloomy tinsel]

just supplier playtime

[ebon mason]

rtx 3050 cost here with tax still 50$ less than in us

[sudden raft]

i feel like i haven't got enough

[gloomy tinsel]
