there was a place called freebirds with build-a-burrito

timber ridge
#

i never had it b4

swift lantern
#

they were great but they went out of business, sad

timber ridge
#

i think i tried freebirds

#

its not bad for a franchise but theres a bunch of local shops here

strange ridge
#

I think freebirds is still in texas

#

My friends talk about it

#

Or is build a burrito what closed

swift lantern
#

is there a place actually just called build a burrito

#

oh they're majorly a texas thing it seems

timber ridge
#

build a bear

tacit wing
#

why is it called build a burrito when every burrito is built by you its just that someone else's hands built it

swift lantern
tacit wing
#

o wait i forgot that pre-built burritos exist

timber ridge
#

prebuilt burrito for some reason sounds so wrong

tacit wing
#

like you walk into a chipotle like theyre not pre-configured

timber ridge
#

i personally think chipotle tacos are better than their burritos

tacit wing
#

you actually have to talk to people and tell them what you want

timber ridge

makes no sense

#

Since it's the right one that's going out

timber ridge
#

they have the bass you want at a reasonable price

swift lantern
#

Tri i3

#

It doesn't make sense that the right one would be going out

stoic solar

Considering the LEFT one was the one that got curb stomped

Hmm...

Tri i3 time

I just got a new Mecha Mini keyboard and I got blue switches, I type over 100 wpm with just two fingers and I press quite heavy on the keys. Does pressing very heavy on the keys shorten their lifespan?

cunning hearth
#

uh no

placid dune
#

Just about the same amount as typing at all

#

So yes, but actually no

cunning hearth
#

wait only two fingers?

#

strange

hushed ingot
#

Yeah

#

i have to move my fingers so fast when I type that I press quite heavy

placid dune
#

You could type using all your fingers

#

Not that it'd make a difference per lifespan

hushed ingot
#

Yeah I wouldn't really like to reteach myself how to type after I've typed like this for so long

To each their own

i kinda wanna see a handcam for 100wpm with 2 fingers

cunning hearth
#

get an ergonomic office chair

late stream
#

the ones ive tried are actually comfortable

#

its hard to fin good ergo chairs where i live

#

and the good ones cost as much as gaming chairs

#

and the gaming chair is still more comfortable for me

so i can hear a bit of a different

#

if that makes sense

cunning hearth
#

then re-lube

rugged lion
#

it doesnt matter i dont press that side of the spacebar

It's not terrible

golden plume
#

I'm just seeing some discount over the va88m

#

since I'm waiting for my keychron to arrive

#

maybe tomorrow if the mailman could do it kekw

#

should I order pbt keycap as well or the keycap is good enough for now?

queen sigil
#

stock keychron keycaps are decent

#

i want hotswapable keyboard, but the only ones i found are muy expensive

60$ for hotswap with gateron switches and keycaps

tight pulsar
#

thats what they all say

tight pulsar
#

so a few days ago i had the issue where my bl05s had a bunch of static buzzing with my cloud 2 usb to 3.5mm cable thingy and now im trying them with the front 3.5mm jack and it still has the static (rear wouldnt work for some odd reason). is this bc the onboard audio just sucks a lot or is there something wrong? works fine on my macbook and phone with apple dongle

little crater
#

onboard audio just sucks, and is typically in close proximity to the GPU

tight pulsar
#

niceeee

little crater
#

is the buzzing the same on the USB dac as it is on the front audio?

tight pulsar
#

from the front its quieter but has some high pitch buzzing

tacit wing
#

dongle >>> Realtek audio

west hornet
#

simple answer apple is just better with audio xD

#

but really it's hard to say, could be interference from one of the connections

tight pulsar
#

ill see if i have a usbc to 3.5 dongle lying around to test it

#

darn i dont but not really a big deal im mainly gonna use the iems with my phone or laptop and those are fine

tacit wing
#

Meizu dongle time

nah thats just another reason to buy the schtack and 6xx Oh_No

Just use it for a bit

You’ll be fine

lyric hinge
#

Oh for sure, I just wanted a point of comparison

cunning hearth
#

What brand u gonna get

#

I recommend gateron

#

But if ur getting gateron id say get their yellows

#

Its linear

lyric hinge

You can try something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Keys-Switch-Tester-Shaft-9-Keycap-puller-keyboard-Sampler-for-Cherry-US-/124342961115?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

9 Keys Switch Tester Shaft + 9 Keycap puller keyboard Sampler for C...

Can't decide on which Cherry MX switch to type on?. 9 types of Cherry MX switch Cherry MX Red, MX Black, MX Blue, MX Brown, MX Green, MX Gray, MX Linear Gray, MX Clear, MX White. Cherry MX Red - Soft Linear 45g actuation force - Smooth, no tactile bump.

#

They sell them elsewhere if you don’t like eBay

cunning hearth
#

Dont get cherry switches

#

They generally feel and sound inferior to gateron

queen sigil
cunning hearth
#

Oh u want linear then

tight pulsar
#

dont get a switch tester of only cherry

queen sigil
#

^^^

cunning hearth
#

Yellows have no bump

tight pulsar
#

thats like sampling ice cream and just getting the different vanillas

cunning hearth
#

Lol

lyric hinge
#

No, it’s like sampling all the flavors of one brand lmao

#

But seriously if you find another one I’d love to see it

tacit wing
#

pls dont be one of those...

tight pulsar
#

uh

queen sigil
#

well switches sound different based on like 3000 different factors

i literally saw a video of someone testing a vaccine, pass out and die

anyways cherry browns have barely any tactile bump at all to my fingies

im no keeb expert but i can tell that

whats up ninja

not much honestly, you?

tacit wing
#

just listening to bladee

little crater
#

alright, the HD 560s fit me really nice, and im sure the clamping force will do down over time like my DT 990. the cable it comes with is nice, but i really prefer coiled cables than straight ones.

tacit wing

POG YOU GOT IT

ooh bladee is kinda fire, and ooh 560 poggers

little crater
#

pog i did

brisk parcel
tacit wing
#

Sennheiser clamp force are just innately too much, hopefully the used 6x0 i just copped are broken in enough but it looks fairly new

just bend it a lil

that's what I did, but idk

tacit wing
little crater
#

i just started listening to em, gotta listen more

tacit wing
#

i removed the pads so it doesnt get worn

little crater
#

definitely very bright

tacit wing
#

definitely less of the Sennheiser veil??

little crater
#

this is actually my first decent pair of sennheisers

tacit wing
#

let your ears burn-in

#

first impressions can get a little wonky

little crater
#

with a flat EQ, i like the HD 560s better

tacit wing
#

what kind of sig were you looking for anyway?

little crater
#

to be fair, i wasnt looking for something much different sounding, just something slightly lighter and less bulky

#

DT 990 are great, but i felt like i had to readjust them on my head every so often

sly warren
#

Just get Koss UR40's they sound great and are about as light as a really heavy mouse (170g)

#

I finally have my headphone progression laid out though.

#

My next big can purchase will be a pair of Hifiman Sundaras

#

Though, I will need a proper DAC and Amp for those.

west hornet
#

idk i feel like i want my sennheisers tighter, i feel like it slips down too much

queen sigil

Leo those are tubes

im pretty sure those are on Drop

not currently selling ofc but they were at some point

queen sigil

tubes = tube amp yes

Is basilisk ultimate good? Or is it just the viper ultimate that's good

#

It's 140 from 170 and just curious if that one is even worth considering

little crater
#

its literally just the difference in shape and size

#

also viper can be used left handed

strange ridge
#

Cool beans

#

I never understood using a mouse left handed and I'm left handed

little crater
#

yeah idk some ppl weird

#

basilisk ultimate an extra button on the left side of the mouse

strange ridge
#

Yeah I saw that supposed to be some kind of sniping button

little crater
#

default its a DPI button

#

but it can be whatever you want it to be

#

only 140 rn

strange ridge
#

Really i thought dpi was under the scroll wheel

#

And that paddle was optional

#

But yeah it's on sale unlike the viper well a better sale anyway

little crater
#

its just an extra button

strange ridge
#

I know the mow is still a better deal

little crater
#

up to you, the thing about mice is that you can say that something is a good mouse and no one can really disagree with you

#

either you like it or you dont

strange ridge
#

True

#

Could always try it and keep or return it

little crater
#

i have a basilisk, i just like the shape

strange ridge
#

I've only ever used ambi mice

#

Funny how the dock bundle is cheaper than just the mouse

#

Why bestbuy

strange ridge
#

Well I want just the mouse but that's not a thing rn

tacit wing
strange ridge
#

I wait for viper on sale again

#

Or basilisk on sale at 120

#

peripherals in general are worth your investment bc thats how you interact with your rig

tight pulsar
#

eh peripheral and value depend on a lot of people but i wouldnt really say some of the stuff gets outdated, like im using 30 year old keycaps rn

tacit wing
#

nope. compared to pc hardware where things can be more objective, higher numbers lower temps. peripherals are a bit more subjective to where everyone has their own taste of sound signature in audio, keyboard switches and mouse shapes

My peripherals are so cheap heh

203 and Viper Mini the kings of budget mice. especially with the Viper coming standard with PTFE feet and paracord Yep

have clones in the keeb scene exploded since the gmmk pro was announced

@tacit wing the keyboard scene is slowly turning into a hybebeast market like sneakers with r/mm and people botting fcfs gb's, but clones are much rarer and usually hard to find info about or on taobao

tacit wing
#

blame Kristofer Yee

tight pulsar
#

god i hate that guy

#

also rumor is that somebody commissioned a build from him and it was like really bad, the stabilizers were rattly and the lube was super inconsistent

little crater
#

these HD 560s really disappear on your head, you really just forget you have them on

#

i literally notice this stupid cable more

tacit wing
#

outside of content creation he used to flip pc's as another source of income, whats not cool is capitalizing off a niche hobby like the keyboard scene which obviously has a much smaller market than pc parts

west hornet
#

get custom cable

tacit wing
#

and it seems like hes into it just make a quick buck. his video emphasized how much someone can make off of flipping keebs

tight pulsar
#

you can tell he doesnt really know much about the hobby

#

hes like "nobody told me how to do this or that" when you could ask literally half a million people on basically any social media or forum that would gladly help you

little crater
#

sennheiser really wrapped up the cable like this, so it zig-zags all over my arm and gets caught on everything

📎 IMG_1300-copy.jpg
#

just a random pic from the internet, but thats how they wrapped it

#

and its thin and not very smooth

tacit wing

thats how they wrap every 6x0 headphones as well

utter crap

#

one of my midi controller have cable issue like that

#

so un neat cable smh

little crater
#

the weight of coiled cables keeps them out of my way. I either have my cable sit on my desk, or hang off of it, and it stays wherever i put it

#

this one goes everywhere everytime I turn my head

tacit wing
#

this guy usually makes coiled keeb cables but he dabbled in a bit of audio

west hornet
#

i don't find much issue with 6xx cable, stays straight. but braided is nice

little crater
#

nvm fixed it, i just ran it over my pc so it floats over to my head lmao

tacit wing
#

a replacement cable for the 560s for the cheap is New Fantasia but its not exactly miles better

little crater
#

i really like thicc, chonky coiled cables

#

something that has been driving me insane lately is that i think one of my ears is shaped different

tacit wing
#

i have below average sized ears so some on ears can be over ears for me

tight pulsar
#

i like straight lemo or something similar like yc8 more than coiled cables

little crater
#

i mean for headphones

#

paying more than 10 dollars for a keyboard cable is the dumbest thing ive ever heard of

#

🤦

tight pulsar
little crater
#

thats pog, now i need one for my HD560s

tight pulsar
west hornet
#

ye they use coiled in esports a lot, personally i dont like

little crater
#

i like em because they heavy, so gravity holds them in place

#

toss it on my desk, i can stand up out of my chair, throw my head around, do pretty much anything, and in the end the cable is pretty much where i left it

#

these thin straight ones ended up under my chair...

west hornet
#

ya i don't like the ones that are too thin like the one i posted today xD

tacit wing
#

i see alot of coiled cables on studio reference cans

#

where people roll around on their chairs and they cant be bothered to take their headphones off

oh i need to power up my ssds sometime soon

oops

queen sigil

but I mean that's also kinda because it looks like it's made out of rubber

sly warren
#

Today I just started my FLAC collection

tacit wing
#

thats bc its actually design to stretch, unlike coiled keeb cables that are just solely for aesthetics

sly warren
#

I'm at 89 files at 2.2GB

stoic solar
#

:))))

#

what u need bb

west hornet
#

sketchy tsk

tacit wing
#

lili is like this server's library

sly warren
#

Eh, I'm just trawling the internet right now for video game soundtracks I like.

stoic solar
sly warren
#

I've gotten most of the Persona 3/4/5 soundtracks

#

At least the songs I enjoy

#

And, not all of it is actually FLAC.

#

It's about a 40/60 mix of M4A/FLAC

west hornet
#

i like some of the assasins creed soundtracks, dishonored 2 and i love the genshin soundtracks

sly warren
#

Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal's soundtrack is downright divine

west hornet
#

might take a look one day

sly warren
#

Shoji Meguro is an amazing composer

stoic solar
#

i have never gotten any game soundtracks lmao

sly warren
#

I even got a FLAC version of Beneath The Mask from Smash Ultimate

#

Which was surprising I could even GET FLAC versions of Smash soundtrack songs

stoic solar
#

inb4 fake

sly warren
#

It's not fake.

stoic solar
#

tested?

sly warren
#

MusicBee

#

It swaps between the cover and the "insert"

stoic solar
#

send file to @tacit wing he cares enough to test stuff

sly warren
#

The Discography Data is all correct too for the most part.

tacit wing
#

u just have to look at the spectogram

#

bc some mp3's can be encoded as flac

sly warren
#

Ah.

stoic solar
#

i dont have the tools to do that

#

the tool being any motivation to

sly warren
#

I doubt I have the tools to do that.

stoic solar
tacit wing
#

if it goes pass 20khz, youre good

stoic solar
#

its ez asf but i just make dino do it

#

i know my collection is perfect

#

so no need for me to care either way

sly warren
#

Oh, wow

#

The server is letting me upload the track

#

Was not expecting that

#

I thought that was a Nitro thing

tacit wing
#

yeah bc the server is boosted

sly warren
#

It's 43MB

stoic solar
#

we have nitro uploads for everyone here

tacit wing
#

look at all the purple names WE MADE THIS HAPPENED walter

stoic solar
#

we r based

sly warren
#

I will say, it definitely SOUNDS better than the Youtube stuff I've listened to.

#

So, it's not a YT rip from a Game Rip or anything like that.

stoic solar
#

yt bitrate is like

#

3

tacit wing
#

those faint purple lines go past 20.5

sly warren
#

So is it like "Almost worth actually being a FLAC" quality essentially?

#

Or is even just barely past 20k worth keeping it as a FLAC?

tacit wing
#

not that you can ears can hear that area but mp3 is capped at 20.5

sly warren
#

Ah.

stoic solar
sly warren
#

I also just realized that apparently MusicBee classifies the "Browser Forward" and "Browser Back" buttons as "Next Song" and "Previous Song"

stoic solar
#

yea

tacit wing
#

a song like this does a good job at utilizing flac and no compression

That is a feature that I literally just found

Eh, so i'm taking up more space than really needed.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

stoic solar
#

i have been transported to 2012

sly warren
#

I really need to get a 1TB SSD...

west hornet
#

a good mp3 is good for most

stoic solar
#

ewwwwww ssd for storage grossssss

sly warren
#

Or possibly just wipe Winblows and restart

west hornet
#

windirstat is nice to clear some space

stoic solar

stoic solar
sly warren
#

I'll slap an MP34 in an M.2 slot and then give this 500 GB SSD to my Fiancee so she can use it in her PC. And then I'll probably snag another 3TB Seagate drive and I should be good for another few years.

#

Until I start getting the itch to rip Blurays or something so I don't need to pay for Disney Plus or something

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

stoic solar
#

seagate

#

ewewewewew

#

literal garbage tier drives

sly warren
#

Maybe in enterprise land they are bad.

stoic solar
#

no

#

just in normal land they are also bad

#

smr

sly warren
#

I've had more Dead WD drives than Seagate

latent hull
#

😦 I have seagate drive

stoic solar
#

and i have the bigger sample size

stoic solar
west hornet
#

WESTERNDIGITAL vs seagate war again haha

stoic solar
#

its not even a war tbh

#

barracudas just suck ass

#

ironwolfs are ok

#

and exos are rly nice

west hornet
#

i feel people argue about wd and seagate as often as intel vs amd

stoic solar
#

id get a blue over a barracuda

west hornet
#

personally i use wd

stoic solar
#

because cpu is whatever but data has value

#

i dont get anything from bashing seagate keeeeek

#

i just dont want people to lose things that are important to them

tacit wing
#

pog i got Blue

stoic solar
#

honestly in datacenter i might use seagate instead of wd

latent hull
#

Now I am sad about having a Seagate drive

stoic solar
#

because exos are super nice

stoic solar
latent hull
#

Where to?

west hornet
#

if it make you r feel better I have one seagate 😦

stoic solar
#

my array is like 90% not wd

#

technically

#

i mean i have mostly hgst drives

#

which is now wd

#

so

vernal plinth
#

That just annoys me lol

#

just say 10% xD

sly warren
#

Eh, it is an SMR drive but I see literally no performance difference.

stoic solar
#

i mean idc either way

#

not my data

sly warren
#

And

stoic solar
#

im just telling you the correct drive to get

sly warren
#

This drive is young

stoic solar
#

you can ignore me because its not me you're gonna be coming to for data recovery keeeeek

sly warren
#

Yes, I bought a 860 Evo, like a dumbass

stoic solar
#

i mean its a fine drive

#

for what it is

sly warren
#

It's just expensive.

#

I bought it at Frys so...

stoic solar
#

oh keeeeek

sly warren
#

Well, back when Frys existed.

stoic solar
#

normally a good sata ssd is like $50

sly warren
#

Now they are dead.

stoic solar
#

evo is 50-55

#

so

west hornet
#

i have a 860 evo don't remember how much but its just wat i had available

stoic solar
#

ehhhh

#

i remember i used to use a 512gb 860 evo

#

wait no

#

850 pro

sly warren
#

So, you are saying to get WD drives for stability?

#

Even though WD's run at 5400RPM in higher capacities?

stoic solar
#

stability/perf id go wd over seagate

#

yes

swift lantern
#

Isn't wd who owns hitachi

stoic solar
#

yep

swift lantern
#

Yeah go wd then

stoic solar
#

but hgst drives were s tier

tacit wing
#

hitachi....

stoic solar
#

id say rn its like

swift lantern
#

My hitachi lasted 11 years

tacit wing
#

hitachi as in like the magic wand hitachi?

west hornet
#

i think the hdd in my old mac might be hitachi

sly warren
#

If WD Black 4TB Drives weren't 156.49/drive

stoic solar
#

hitachi>hgst>wd>toshiba>seagate

sly warren
#

I'd probably buy 2 of them and replace my Seagate drive.

stoic solar
#

because it tainted their brand so much lol

west hornet
#

can't complain its run for years and didnt break yet, its been constantly running the past 90 days

sly warren
#

Wow... Hitachi Deskstar drives are DIRT cheap

#

Are they SMR?

stoic solar
#

apple used hgst/hitachi drives up until they were discontinued, then switched to seagate

west hornet
#

oh ye i saw that

#

didnt really like that move

stoic solar
#

because iirc wd didnt want to make apple skus for their drives

sly warren
west hornet
#

a lot of them were hybrid drives too

stoic solar
#

only macs ive seen with bad drives have been the new seagates

sly warren
#

lili, good? bad?

#

That drive I posted

strange ridge
#

just ordered a the basilisk ultimate off amazon for 119

swift lantern
#

All the drives are decent tbh don't over complicate it

strange ridge
#

no more double click

stoic solar
#

you cannot get new hgst

#

that is used and tested to be good

#

but it is NOT new

sly warren
#

Oh, they are all Used?

swift lantern
#

Personally I have a wd black 3tb gigachad

sly warren
#

Boo.

strange ridge
#

wd black 4tb

stoic solar
#

id just not worry abt it and get an easystore

strange ridge
#

i have one of those too

stoic solar
#

shuck it for insane tb/$

#

this is the large brain move

#

everything else is micro brain tbh

sly warren
#

Jesus...

stoic solar
#

12tb is an insane deal rn

#

like

swift lantern
#

8tb for $140!!!

stoic solar
#

if i wasnt broke i would buy 50+

sly warren
#

If I had the money I'd buy 2 12TB's

swift lantern
#

Lili you are a hoarder

latent hull
#

if I had money I would buy a 10 or 12tb

stoic solar
swift lantern
#

Hoarder

stoic solar
#

im planning to expand each drive to either 12 or 18tb

swift lantern
#

Why tho

stoic solar
#

running semi low on space

#

only like 40tb free

sly warren
#

How fast are the Easystore drives?

stoic solar
#

they are wd red drives

sly warren
#

I assume 5400

#

Oh

stoic solar
#

white label

sly warren
tight pulsar
#

🤔 you got a flac version of the ost

stoic solar
#

yes

#

and yes

#

that is a weird wd label lol

#

looks like a toshiba

tight pulsar
#

hmu man i was about to find a copy of the ost it very gud

stoic solar
#

im used to this

#

idk why but it reminded me of the toshiba label

swift lantern
#

only 40tb

#

Why do you hoard tho

stoic solar
#

not that it matters cause none of the drives actually look like that

swift lantern
#

There has to be a reason to save things or else it's just hoarding

stoic solar
#

a lot of stuff i like has been made unavailable

sly warren
#

I mean, some people want to keep all their data offline so that if the Internet just dies, they can keep all their stuff

swift lantern
#

For $140 I'd be tempted too ngl

#

Even though I'd never fill it up

sly warren
#

I mean, 12TB drives are ~219

stoic solar
#

from>

#

?

sly warren
#

Amazon

stoic solar
#

or are u talking easystore

sly warren
#

12TB Elements

stoic solar
#

yeah

#

easystore/elements is the same

latent hull
#

Honestly I would probably get 8, 10, or 12 and just have that be my game drive so that I can just take it with my build and not have to use the internal HDD

stoic solar
sly warren
#

I wouldn't use a USB drive for games.

stoic solar
#

take the drive out

sly warren
#

You take the casing off and throw it away

latent hull
#

hmmm

sly warren
#

It's cheaper than just buying the drive itself

#

for some ungodly reason

latent hull
#

so you buy it and then just take the casing off and use it in the build

sly warren
#

I honestly don't understand how WD can afford to sell Red drives in USB enclosures for less than the drive itself.

tight pulsar
#

its probably cheaper cause they can buy bulk

west hornet
#

wait you take the drive out of the enclosure?

tight pulsar
#

yeah

west hornet
#

strange but interesting idea

tight pulsar
#

you buy it and yoink the drive out and use it like a normal drive cause its cheaper

strange ridge
#

interesting

#

thats very big brain

stoic solar
sly warren
#

Well, If I ever get ~500 dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I'll just buy 2 14TB Easystores and never have to worry about storage again.

strange ridge
#

well for a long time until the drive fails

Or just buy an entire iFixit kit

golden bear

nvm i have a ga

stoic solar

golden bear
#

the cables are ass

stoic solar

oh good this will be ezpz then

queen sigil

to boot into usb
