the battery is probably the majority of the dollar value on such a thing
Yeah its just the 4060 is the sweet spot for a mobile gpu atm
technically, yes, practically, no
yeah
And its a good model, has a good cpu, and otherwise decent specs
I'm not sure what kind of replacement program they'd be running, but maybe you send it back to them when it's kaput and they put in a new batt for a different customer
What ๐ญ
maybe but hard to say
let me guess its one of them "just send it in we will give you 20 dollars towards a new unit"
honestly, probably
or they might not even give you anything
maybe you even have to bring it to recycle yourself
Ntb, but worth $100 more than the other one?
Also wait gigabyte g6 is kinda ass from what I remember
i guess by the time i need a new one i probably will have better funding than i do now
I like that a lot too
Yeah thats not bad
Is windows 11 pro really that much better than just normal windows 11
I'd say it's between the ebay 4060 one and the 7600s
no
Not at all
Itโs a 600 dollar increase
on a laptop id say pro is useless
Gross
Ok awesome
what are you planning on using it for? are you using it as an UPS? if so, those units aren't designed for use as a UPS, and is generally not recommended to use it as such
32 is enough? No need to upgrade to 64?
The gigabyte g6 isn't great, I would avoid it, especially at that extra cost
my surface has 11 pro and my gaming main computer has 11 home and i have yet to see a difference
not for a decade or something
No, 32 is plenty.
Which one?
asus?
If it is the gigabyte g6, it is a worse built laptop. @elfin mural or @mortal grail could elaborate on that
Ah alr
i wont be using it as a ups, main thing is for movie nights where im hanging out with someone and want to watch a movie outside with a laptop and projector plus when power goes out it might get used to power somethings we need as well
ok, then yeah that's fine
Perfect
I think thatโs the winner then
it would also be used as the power source for astro nights so running a computer most of the night plus a camera and some other things
hopefully it would last awhile and not go bad in just a few years
i actually still need to get the projector and screen for it and the chromebook for the movies
market place time
anyone have a Samsung Chromebook by chance i have a question
no, it's 4050 perf wise
with some games roasting 6800m
imagine blu ray but the size of a laser disc
Oh damn
Hey ^^
yeah it's just a 4050 with extra vram
I'd still go with the one on ebay then, and upgrade ram if you need to
Its pretty easy
4050 with vram it should've had
?
Heh???
Averaging the benchmarks ye.
4050 mainly gets handicapped there due to vram amount and bus
donald trump wins
NO, not enough
6 gigs 96 bit 
They said on average its 5% slower than the 4060
that 5% is still too high
Inb4 novideo makes 4050ti
Now it's 2% slower
โ
i experience this first hand owning 4050 tuf 
the extra juice is useless
it only needs 100w
100w laptop
100w on gpu that is
And mine can take 25w if I don't want thermal throttling
๐
this thing has 240w brick
ok
FAT
You know, I'm curious how much power the Ryzen 8000 desktop cpus will suck up
then again design from almost 10 years ago
Especially the higher end
not much im guessing
Didn't the Radeon 780M consumed like 50w?

The desktop chips probably got it cut down
I'd be surprised if it's just like the mobile varients
1:1
The 4050 is slower than the 7600s by more than 5% unless you bring in frame generation lol
Bro when will AMD "officially" bring that feature?
but is it worth it to get 7600s over a 4060 laptop that's $100 less
its out for some games on RDNA3, its a beta feature though
Maybe I could get a good projector from military auction

in jarrod's tech reviews of tuf 7600s against 4050 nitro 5 (which has 140w variant btw)
it wasn't really ahead of 4050
Just like how the 1080ti was Nvidia's greatest mistake
AMD's variant is either the 6950xt or 6700xt
Heck maybe the whole RDNA2 gen
you will want storage first always
depends, probably could get a good 5 years out of it at least
oh the site says it has 5 years warranty/service, but they claim for it to last 10 years
also it seems like this specific one can be used as a UPS if you wish
arent UPS lead acid battieres less robust than in cars
just use ur car battery
this is a lithium batt
also technically, yes, but also they're different, because UPS's lead acid batteries are sealed lead acid batteries made for indoor use
Which video? Also what CPU was in both?
car batteries, are mostly flooded lead acid batteries that aren't sealed and are a hazard indoors
gimme a sec
due to explosive hazard and spilled acid hazard
thank you for the info ๐
$400 for the one that they sent
same price as a good quality SLA UPS for workstations and such
i got a phillipines manufactured UPS..
kinda sketchy
There goes my idea of wiring a car battery to an Arduino. /j (I wasn't actually gonna do that)
most UPS's are assembled in the asian regions due to very low employee wages
it's technically fine as long as you dont charge and/or ventilate the area
and have it secured somewhere that you wont accidentally spill the acid
hahaha
welp, turns out i was wrong after all
it does indeed lead 3060, which in turns is faster than 4050
how would it spill?
it's not sealed
do you have electrician credentials
no
the vid i referenced was tuf a16
ima say hold off on that plan joker
Most car batteries here are sealed
although it sounds exciting

muh lappy
not bad for a controller
but car batteries generate hydrogen when charging, which is fine in a car because where the battery is stored, it's ventilated well and doesnt have any risk of collecting a bunch of hydrogen to ๐ฅ
and i have the second most base variant
7735hs+4050
the base variant has 6800h (same cpu) and 2050
Yea
There is that
my car battery is most certainly sealed
are they labelled as SLA? honestly idk why they would be sealed since sealed lead acid batteries tend to have worse peak amps (flooded batteries tend to have much higher peak amp ratings)
Still produce gas
No clue
wait you can use the battery to make poisonous gas?
because even flooded lead acid batteries are covered with a lid most of the time
it releases gas as it gets used
technically sealed but not airtight
no, not poisonous, just explosive
all cars that put the battery in the trunk or interior of the car has a small vent for gas release
else you'd get explosions
You know what else can make explosive gas? Water and electricity.
Think I can get luck enough to find a good projector for a decent price on market place? If not maybe I'll have to look around on govplanet at military auctions
any two elements on opposite ends of the periodic table being combined = likely a bad time
they tend to react very violently
baking soda and vinegar being thhe child example
right
charging lead acid batteries has the side effect of electrolysis which splits the water molecules (H2O) into H2 O2 (2 H2O -> 2 H2 + O2)
That is not what I'd call a violent reaction
no?
Battery itself has a vent also
i will stop guessing and listen lol
NaHCO3 + CH3COOH -> CO2 + H2O + Na CH3COO
batt has vents too ya, but you gotta hook up the pipe correctly first
or the gas collects in the car and well
caesium + fluorine = very energetic reaction
kabloom
carbon monoxide ?
carbon monoxide doesn't cause explosions
no, carbon monoxide results from burning fuels not from batteries
oxygen and hydrogen however can explode
and is not explosive... however CO has its own dangers
that you can suffocate from it
very easily since your body can not detect it
The good news is that preventing that is also quite easy... CO alarms in house, especially if you have anything fuel powered
CO, not CO2... your body can detect CO2
co2 also comes from exhaust pipes, but, they're far less dangerous in a sense
yeah there are built-in filters for the carbon
it's also because you can feel it
If you breathe in CO2, you'll know it... your body will detect it isn't getting the right air
CO is another story which is why CO is dangerous
diesel engines produce much less co2, but more co
a barbecue
it's why they have dpf and all those devices
CO is something that isn't usually an issue if it is ventilated properly
no indoor barbecues
becomes a bit of a problem in cities, especially europe
uk i think banned diesel cars from entering cities
or put high duty to enter
diesels spend 30+ years on the road
but if something goes wrong with the combustion on an indoor fuel burner (i.e. a furnace), it can produce a lot more CO than normal... which then builds up and can kill you... if you don't have a CO alarm
people just panic because of thick black smoke
although a colorless odorless gas like CO is more dangerous
Well, burning too much diesel can definitely lower air quality overall
and thats definitely not great for you
black smoke certainly has an immediate effect on air quality
nothing is great for us in cyberpunk world
my buddy's been telling me to take antiinflammatory foods
and tbh only old diesels spew out black smoke
new ones do too when idiots modify them to do that
diesels since like 1990 with good maintenance won't ever push out black smoke
i dont even know what it means LOL
"rolling coal"
or not modded badly
there's a ton of diesel trucks here that are modded to roll coal
nothing rustles a european's jimmies quite like rolling coal
cuz smoke = speed
someone did this at me once and the smoke was thick enough to be nearly blinding
someone also brandished a gun at me in traffic
people get nuts in road rage
the diesel smokers here usually troll mercs and any expensive cars
like for no reason too
Lead gas ๐ฌ
also equally stupid: the people who think smoking their tires on public roads = cool
they stay the hell away from rolls royce however 
imagine what that does to your paint job
jerkkks
I'm fine with trucks that rolls coal needs some timeout from driving
there was an accident where an isuzu crashed into a rolls royce
yeah the only reason for someone to roll coal is their remarkable lead intake 
its like uh no... wheelspin is BAD for performance, and longevity of your tires... and it also annoying
lol the highway patrol has emissions rules
the bills were the price of three isuzus
it took out rear suspension, bumper and sensors
oof for sure
isuzu strong
im driving a korean car
cause im lame and cheap
the repair bills were like at least 30k+
There's a surprising amount of small Isuzus trucks around my area lol
I have a 2014 Civic
twins?
only thing I really wish I had is Android auto on my car
toyota's dankest cars are not sold in north america
im so mad
mitsubishi has the most car like trucks
i prefer the l200 over any hilux tbf
because of the spit epa
they make a classic 1980s land crusiser iwth 2024 tech
released everywhere right now but USA
i don't think hilux will be that favorable in the us all things considered
even if toyota slaps a v6 in it
nah it needs a V8
yeah we have steep ass mountains
No way they managed to fit that beast igpu onto desktop??? If this is true that's AMAZING
And higher clocks too
โ
steep ass mountains are regularly climbed in hilux tho
Haha get discorded
whats the default hilux engine in europe
There we go

M GPU in desktop... lol
if my GPU dies i can boot
Do you not have the "long"/scrolling screenshot option?
Something that Intel can't get right until 15th gen
Dunno
Intel's had so many fails the past few years lol
it's also hard to kill a CPU lol
At least Intel isnt failing desktop idle power consumption like AMD
It would've been nice to have 80 or 96eus Xe core on either alder or raptorlake
But that couldn't happen
had a Pentium 4 that ran at that temp for years without dying
Stuck with 32eus
LMAO
i love the "amd house fire " memes
toasty and slow, but P4s didnt die from heat very easily in my experience
AMD FX moment
FX had 125W TDP quad cores
FX 6300 slander is not allowed
hahahaha
FX actually isnt even that bad. Like iirc their tjmax is quite a bit lower then current CPUs.
it's funny how FX CPUs still alive but their mobos want to die
"FX isn't that bad"
FX:

Best 6 core CPU ever made in 2011 by AMD with 6 threads on AM3+
i scorched my socket and got brown tint on the top
Bruh
Me when 3c/6t CPU
220W TDP is wild ๐
What DA HEELLLLLLLL
know as a motherboard killer
FX 9590
Motherboards: ๐
Save on your home heating bill clearly, Intentional move.
I have a 280W AMD rn but its a Threadripper so its excusable
Can't lie, FX was pretty goofy bad
PL was high on that but do remember that TDP isnt PL
15W AMD and 28W AMD are kinda crazy when you think about it.
it's been 5 hours almost and my toes still are bone-chilled from snow
Perf/marketing/almostEverything wise yeah. Im just talking about PLs and temps. FX fire memes are just normal CPUs now.
Phenom IIs won in some cases
phenom ii x4 955
Bulldozer was the Netburst of AMD
๐ฅ
I had a Core i7 920 around the time of Phenom II x6 lol
Lol
Was the Intel Dark ages bad where they just kept releasing quad cores?
Recent cpus now make FX look like chillers (except 9xxx)
I want them to bring that back tbh
The i7 920 went so hard
AMD PHENOM III
idk i got a 2500k and used it for almost a decade until i upgraded
I don't think AMD makes athlons anymore
I used an athlon II X4 630 before I bought the FX-4300 (worst mistake)
No more Athlon 200GE???? Oh nooooo
Rip athlon 
modern SSDs could make a quad-core CPU be pinned at 100% when decompressing with a fast enough download speed
They do sorta.
3000G athlon still exists.
Ryzen 3000
They been selling it for 5 years lol

AMD is selling PBJs with their Athlons
They updated the athlon packaging last year I think
I want my 6c/6t Athlon
That's never gonna happen
just want a cheap 6c6t 35W TDP CPU for self-hosting without buying a whole Optiplex 3000 Micro
CPU with more cores than threads /j
It will when R3 is 64c/256t
But Athlon are HT nowwww
๐
athlon 7000g when
Never
A Zen 4 Athlon CPU with RDNA 3 would be Hype ngl.
HT on Athlon was in like 2003. HyperTransport... oh you mean HyperThreading? Nope, Intel only. Oh you mean SMT? Yes.
this could literally be put in a Pi-sized SBC
The 3000G is Zen and it is hyperthreaded.
As are the 7220u and 7120u Mendocino Athlon CPU's
HyperThreading is an Intel trademark name for their implementation of SMT
And we as consumers use it for everything. smh
Simultaneous Multithreading is the actual term
or just multithreading even would be more accurate
For desktop AMD hasn't made an athlon chip since 2022
It's definitely going to be aimed at laptops more
you should get one and do some benchmarks
Athlon is on life support at this point
Maybe...
Ryzen 3 already doing the work, guess there is no need
And somehow Intel still keeping Pentium and celeron
๐
Cause of enterprise mainly
especially with them killing NUC ๐ข where desktop 1240p
imagine a socket AM5 laptop
does your bios already know the XMP timings and you just select XMP profile 1
XMP info is stored on the DIMMs

Check Aliexpress in 4 years
They did that with things like the 9900K, would be shocked if they didn't with the 7800X3D
not a good topic for discord
imagine caring about politics and not understanding the actual problems
the federal dollars for chemical accident in ohio were not forthcoming like they were for ukraine
But we are getting the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D as a mobile chip.

tip culture in general is annoying
where are you from boeing
hong kong
what do you do to compliment the restaurant then
We don't
O_o
I went to a local Japanese steak house and had some of the best fried rice I've ever tasted
matcha ice cream is also bomb
actually the restaurants here are kinda mid anyways
and the ones that aren't are uh
pretty expensive
a lot of restuarants here are corporate chains
those poor people and small businesses work hard to be a place where the community can gather
my area has multiple Japanese restaurants despite being a small city in New York
no small businesses in hong kong??
๐
oh there are
you just have to go out of your way to find them
malls everywhere
tips here are the servers wages
I've tasted better food in Australia
if it was just about complimenting the food...
at least non asian dishes
nah here they be making like 2 dollars an hour
and i usually can't tip anyways since i use my card
tip with your card
wait
eat the surcharge
I mean every place here
you can tip with card?
gives you the receipt
yes just fill in tip field
when you're expected to tip
and total with tip added
europe just charges VAT
then again Australia doesn't really have that big of a tip culture
so count yourself lucky that you get to choose to tip
at least not where I've been to
most places I've been to don't have surcharges
only ungrateful people wouldnt tip
id give 100% tips if I was rich ngl
in europe you just eat a 12% 'service charge'
US on average pays like
I'd tip to support the culture
ive seen higher of such charges in the US
thats all we ask in small towns in the US
At that point it's more respect to the culture
bet we end up paying more in healthcare
your tip makes an upwardly mobile poor family kids day
when i think of tips i usually think of businesses in city that don't pay their employees enough
but for small towns yeah that's reasonable
yeah usually a correct assmption
that's the kind of tipping i dislike really
it's not tipping it's paying the employee's wages
for the business owner
i understand why the whole entire world makes fun of Americans for doing this whole song and dance but
I think tipping's reasonable for small towns and communities
just not big resturants in cities where they get hundreds or even thousands of customers a day
yeah if you are forking out enough for premium caviar and crap you can afford to pay your employees what they are worth

last job before i went on disablity they refused to give me the same income for working during the day, because of disablity, and forced me to work at night instead

workers dont have such good rights here.. it is something we need to improve upon as a nation
oof
i cant go to war with someone in civil court for less than $20,000

It's not an US exclusive issue

i dont like regulations because im american and we shoot commies
but EU is doing the greater good

including laptops
not just phones
swappable batts aren't hard
win
ya
any argument against it is cope
i hate having to bring a phone to the service center to replace its eventually degraded batt
it's also stupid cheap if you do it yourself
which has added costs of labor
they have no right to gatekeep their tech at a primitive level to extort more money out of us
tbh I might need a new batt
tech wants to be free and it will be free
I think my battery in my strix is degrading
for laptops im not too fussed about their batts
linux says it's at 79% health
they're just harder to get to, but not dangerous

iphone users when they have freedom
meanwhile xiaomi
Lelz
Yeah it's not like anyone is mandating any user to never download anything from the App Store again and sideload everything
they will go to great lengths to stay in their little cocoon of "security"
That would frankly be rarted
yeah I mean he has some argument but it really depends on Apple's implementation
android never forced anyone to download from non google play sources
it's just a flawed argument
laughs in xiaomi
More from the same guy
oh no
lmao
the chinese gives me more freedom

Xiaomi is really chill about custom roms
they even give you tools to help you flash roms

You'd be surprised how hard is it to even adb sideload an android device if they had it locked down
Gotta love it when companies make root hard to do when computers have had it for ages without issue.
I like to think of it as amazon. Amazon is a marketplace that virtually anyone can sell on and while they do list the source (seller) they also but a lot of marketing and other nonsense links that make it seem as if they product is from the official seller when it is in fact not. Now I have not used google play store in quite some time but even if they list sources it can very easily be swayed just as in the case of amazon. It all depends on how the company integrates it
I mean if they made the app well it'd verify stuff online anyway wouldn't it?
Is it mean of me to tell my sister to not keep my parents awake till 2am when they have to wake up by 6am
Im glad my bank just gave a minor warning rather than not work like many others, that is before I learned about hiding root.
seems sensible
All thai banks here require no root or dev option to be turned on
Or the app would just refuse to work
Hurdur root means phone hacked, and phone hacked means account hacked, and account hacked means customer sue us
Partly why I wanna buy another phone lmao
My bank app works no problen on my rooted phone
So I can use with freedom
i want a huawei phone
deport me to north korea
im ready
though yeah, I don't really see a reason for an average user to daily a rooted phone
Those phones arent allowed to be sold where I live
But just because most people wouldn't, the option to do so should be there
Gotta learn about hiding root. Which is kinda pain sometimes, but can potentially get some apps to works with proper hiding practices
huawei im annoyed because of google ban
richard stallman frowns
I have a redmagic phone
hiding root is a thing i know, but im too lazy sometimes
oneplus
europe bros get all the best
asian even better tbh
I mean sure it's nowhere near a flagship phone
because their noob idiot government didnt ship all the jobs to china and then make us pay so much for tech
more phones
but I never had a flagship phone anyway so I wouldn't know what makes those better
google actually makes their pixels in china and many other places to cut costs
motorola even isn't american anymore
like every other company
it's all lenovo
Oneplus kinda meh, unlocking bootloader screws with trusted environment ratings. Which is also meh cuz that really only affects high lvl Widevine ratings, which only applies to streaming services and their highest tiers
aka made in china too
oof

I saw a poop
getting too far rn
but i don't understand motorola not being all that available here
I wanna read it lmao
they're lenovo
Luckily minor issue compared to other root issues, but still ehhh
motorola by lenovo
its too late for me to root
but idc much
let's not bring up topics like that
It was indeed sussy
NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER 3DMark test leak We have a very first look at the first SUPER GPU of this generation.ย ย Tomorrow marks the end of the embargo for NVIDIAโs RTX 4070 SUPER reviews (at least some of them). This card is powered by the AD104 GPU featuring 7168 CUDA cores, nearly the full implementation [โฆ]
4070 but better
actually worth it
mow
amd mowing nvidia's lawn 
welp time to sell my 7800XT
good
Kinda not really. 4070TiS prolly only going to be like ~60% of 4090 or whatever, which has still been historically XX60Ti tier.
do we need to care about die size
Im talking about perf
i don't myself tbh, as long as it performs
4070ti super is at least priced the same as the now eol'd 4070ti
i want cheaper gpus too, but no one is bothering to do that
intel lacks anything good for higher end
I just want more proper naming for now. Just seems disingenuous to change tiering to hide the price changes.
fair
at least nvidia didn't jack up prices
but the naming is probably to not make it confusing
If only the 7800xt had the same specs as the 6800xt core wise
XX80 says hi
since it's already set in stone, the initial oddities
Legit wondering rn if i should try the micro center trade in thing to get 4070TiS
RTX 4090 Ti Super
Also the naming is awful
Nvidia should've done this
Ti - Perf increase only
Super - Vram increase
Ti Super - Perf and vram increase
I realize this is stupid
-3% perf increase
%69,420 price increase
PAY UP NERD
My wallet says no
But my mind says GREEN
Absolute cringe
4030 Ti Super wen?
I'm surprised people kept up with apple's BS for so long
But I mean I can't be surprised
They got used to it and accepted it
Yea
Effective marketing does that
Someone bring me a hazMac suit :3
Apple always advertises security and privacy so much
It's just like smoking and such, you know it's bad but you keep on buying
Yet they're not much more secure than android
I'm about to descend into the depths of Apple fanboy hell
Android is actually pretty decent for security now
When something is using your mic and/or cameras
It has an indicator
As much as I'm an apple hater, I'll give them credit for making MAD BANK
Not just Apple, it's everyone since like early 2000s. Generations have grown up on this fake "safety and security" stuff for a while now.
Yep... They see that "we value your safety" for granted and accept the ToS or something
The eu doesn't care what apple sheeps say anyway
They're all gibberish
It's all for better
Same reason we keep up with microsofts bs
Slow enforcement but better than nothing I guess
I kid you not, if many people caught on most of these tech companies would be long dead
Because itโs convenient

The sad truth
Windows never had one app store, or even any app store on that matter lmao
No one bat an eye
They are the only ones providing an OS that many use
This is what happens when you have a monopoly
ROFL
Same thing may happen to UNREAL ENGINE
LOL
And now is the point where the number of people that use it is basically the only reason people use it
Honestly this makes me want to learn more about security
I'll probably sacrifice some time doing research on this stuff
Hopefully I don't go too deep in this cursed rabbit hole
Security is a interesting topic
Yep, the amount of software and games is astronomical on windows
You can't run most games on other platforms except Windows because it's already widely established
Good God we're back to the "US should've stayed out of the 2 World Wars" stuff 30 replies in
Humanity is doomed
That's the average internet argument
Thatโs why im happy seeing calve spend time developing ways to get around the windows requirement in gaming
Changing the topic and saying random garbo
Unbased isolationists
Apple vs everyone else has always been a topic of argument
Ye
Valve not calve
Just apple users being blinded
Apple V Everyone sounds like a dope court case
I'm smelling someone who doesn't understand that Apple sells their private life even more efficiently than Google
As if android is any less safer
MFer Apple didn't invent the Effing computer
No companies are safe
Android's big problem is just how fragmented it is
Apple didn't invent the Effing smartphone
As bad as some apple products are tho, they still have their uses for some workloads where windows just doesnโt compete
Does it better than samsung
๐
Samsung ecosystem? Is that the appstore that I can't uninstall despite never using?
iOS ecosystem is fantastic, so nice to be able to switch between my iPad and iPhone and continue the project seamlessly without wasting any time
Apple does have merits in their stuff, but outright saying side loading means damage is just silly
thing is that applies to Apple stuff too
Ye you canโt say โapple users are dumbโ or โgoogle users are dumbโ they all have their own audiences and use cases, if they didnโt have a legitimate use not as many people would use their products
Yeah I know, itโs just some people also think apple stuff has 0 uses except for being overpriced
Lol
Nokia #1
I'm not saying "Apple users are dumb"
I'm saying they act exactly like an indoctrinated cult
I gotta say tho, basically most of iphone buyers here are in for status
Dam right
Wegg Cult wen?
I like my apple stuff 
Status and peer pressure is what brings in revenue for apple
I do appreciate the convenient ecosystem
Always has been 
But that's only really a valid point for buying apple if you have multiple devices
Seamless experience
Thatโs the main reason why I got AirPod pros instead of the Sony XM5s
And specific workloads
I'd say that Apple products on performance are plenty for most average users who only want to watch videos and do word processing
Wegg better than
eBay
Amazon
Cex
Tiger direct
Bestbuy

Iโll take the slight hit in audio fidelity for better ANC and seamless connectivity
Honestly speaking though the pros are better imo
Hey man, don't diss eBay. They gonna send you cockroaches in the mail 
But if you gave an architectural enginner a Mac and told him to do his work on it he's probably beat you to death by the end of the day because most engineering software does NOT play nice with Apple's OS and hardware
But then again the other buds aren't much better, ones that use apps
Phone companies now be like: headphone jack, what's that?
Xm4/xm5 has always had bloated bass for me
Also iPhoneโs tracking is second to none
still stalking the guy who stole my first pair of AirPod pros
So good that they know how hot your 4090 is
lmao
Hey my 4090 is chilling at a solid 35ยฐC under load
๐ yea buddy
Anyways once the air pods disappear, you gotta play it like where's waldo

I sleep now, behave all
okay everybody misbehave for 8 hours
Yea I gotta sleep too
Alright everyone, time to misbehave 
Okay this is actually a cult member
I know where this guy works, lives, eats, etc
my audio preference happens to be the unfavorable traits of pure audio enjoyers
Funny man decided to steal AirPods
big bass, rumbly kind
This mfer be eating Popeyes for breakfast every single day at 7:30am
Frieren the long eared individual
my ears hate boosted highs
I still haven't watched that anime yet
cuz tinnitus 
Do you like
BASS BOOST?
Im boutta turn you into a long eared individual
Quiet you cube
I prefer sphere excuse you
Literally fricking cult mentality
I'll turn you into a 8 triangle polygon
Did you just assume my shape?
๐
I like sparkly treble


Trebleclef*
Bass clef>>

Also, battery issues are fun. Love it when customer randomly has to replace one of the buds battery cuz it depletes at like 4x the rate of the other bud.
I like my music to not be repeated into my ears 284 times in the past 3 days
Ive been listening to the same song over and over since Saturday
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH ACTUAL BRAIN CELLS
All it took was 5 pages of mind-melting crap
Too sleepy
Not gonna read allat
mans in the forums
โฆso this change basically makes it so I didnโt need to turn developer mode on my phone to sideline app?

Anyways night nerds berds
Nah, I donโt give you permission
TLDR "Nothing's really changing for most people who don't use sideloading, and those that wanna will benefit. Nothing's going to crap"
Wake back up
You have a bed, sleep on it ๐ฟ
