[dusk knot]

oh true

[gleaming sedge]

Looking good

[dusk knot]

yeah. im getting the hang if using manuel mode and some post processing in PS

[atomic current]

That is a moose

[gleaming sedge]

Anyone here with a Samsung chromebook? If so please @ me I have some questions about it

[gleaming sedge]

You try back button focusing yet?

[dusk knot]

I dont really know what that is yet. im fairly new

[gleaming sedge]

It's going in the settings changing one of the buttons on the face of the camera to focus instead of the half push of the shutter release button

[dusk knot]

ooooooooh

[wary fjord]

Sleep

[dusk knot]

NO

[next knoll]

Oh I see

Thanks for explaining

[lone mango]

I don’t know if this is the same video but I remember seeing tested games

[elfin mural]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-preparing-ryzen-5000xt-series-yet-another-update-for-am4-socket

not another refresh lmao

[lone mango]

Am4 lives forever

[elfin mural]

slap on a mild oc and call it a day

[lone mango]

What are your thoughts on the am5 heatspreader

I remember the lapping tool with marks on it so it can still make contact with the cooler

Is it really that deep?

Or are they just min-maxing temps

[elfin mural]

am5 ihs is thicc

lapping it helps but like

just direct die it

delid it

[lone mango]

Even then its still thick right

[elfin mural]

ya lol

it's more like an insulator

[mortal grail]

the single greatest and most stupid part of the platform

[elfin mural]

that's why the cpus need to be efficient

thus require less cooling

[lone mango]

Good thing they are

[mortal grail]

ya cos this^

that's what makes it great

what makes it dumb is they appear hot af and so every dummy assumes it needs a 360 aio

[elfin mural]

that's the issue

but outside of that

the efficiency rocks

and am4 mounting compatible

so upgrades are ez

[lone mango]

Next platform should be a different height, or maybe have a different spec on motherboards. If they could make the socket taller maybe? Thats probably more expensive tho

[mortal grail]

they will probably reduce the z height

[lone mango]

Maybe the ihs is thick because it solves that problem for cheaper

[nocturne flicker]

Can't wait for 5800X3DXT

[mortal grail]

fundamentally there's nothing wrong, it's just dumb thick

[elfin mural]

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

More X = more performance

[elfin mural]

also

[idle nexus]

dude is a clown

[elfin mural]

asus launched the same thing again

tuf a15 with zen 4

r9 8845hs

[mortal grail]

real

[elfin mural]

it's literally a 7940hs

i hate amd for this bs

[mortal grail]

OH GOD NOT THIS AGAIN

[elfin mural]

can we stop

[mortal grail]

[elfin mural]

pls amd

[mortal grail]

8 CORES LETS GO

[elfin mural]

stop it

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

I can't be bothered to rember the naming scheme

[elfin mural]

i remember because of how much i hate it

it's manipulative

[mortal grail]

let me pose a question to you, or rather a riddle:
7940HS = 8 core
8845HS = 8 core
7945HX = ?

don't google it

[elfin mural]

watch a 8735hs exist

if it does

i will throw bricks

[nocturne flicker]

X obviously mean better performance. So 7945HX is betterer 7940HS because X

[mortal grail]

yes but what kind of cpu would you expect it to be

[elfin mural]

i like my 7735hs but

it's literally a 6800u

good cpu, but still

it's misleading

[mortal grail]

we could add this to the riddle and make it even worse, this is an 8 core

[elfin mural]

lol

[nocturne flicker]

I've got a picture pulled up for the meanings

[elfin mural]

speaking of, im getting the laptop up today

[nocturne flicker]

I don't understand why

I will never understand why

[elfin mural]

i hate 7730u so much

it's a quad core

[mortal grail]

it gets worse when you learn

not even AMD knows

so they break their own scheme

and then the 7945HX

is in fact 16 cores

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

7945HX3D also exists

On a 3 grand laptop

[mortal grail]

once you learn the scheme it's actually intuitive, but they themselves don't follow it

so it's drivel

[elfin mural]

ya

The damn last number complicated everything

[nocturne flicker]

What is the last number supposed to actually indicate. What is the point. 0 = lower end of the second number category and 5 means higher end, but what if middle?!

[elfin mural]

Nothing

Figure it out

That's where it gets bad

[nocturne flicker]

They could've removed it and nothing of value would've been lost

[elfin mural]

7735HS, 8 core zen 3+

7730U

Zen 3 4 core

[lone mango]

I still think it was dumb to do regardless because everything else they make is unchanged. More to remember

[elfin mural]

wait it's 8 core but

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

zen 2?

[lone mango]

Even he is stumped

[nocturne flicker]

Also the first number's meaning is just scummy

[mortal grail]

and this is where it detaches from reality, because they can label any cpu in any category, and it'll be anything from a 4 to 16 core

[elfin mural]

even i don't remember right lmaooo

[mortal grail]

it's ridiculous

I can get a zen 4 ryzen 3 16 core

it'll be 7345HX

cos 5 means high end for whatever reason

or in the case of 2024 they're up to 8000 now

8345HX3D

[lone mango]

He showed games after it but yeah, ram speeds get diminishing returns frfr

[mortal grail]

it "follows the guideline" but it's stupid af

cos any ryzen can be a ryzen 9

[elfin mural]

I hate how 3d vcache is tied to only the best of the best for mobile

[mortal grail]

and similar named skus that are 8 cores, could also be 12 cores

16

4

6

[idle nexus]

he still looks like Santa Claus got a bad haircut

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

intel isn't a whole lot better

an i5 can be anything between 4 - 10 cores

when it comes to laptops

[elfin mural]

WTF

[lone mango]

Mine has 12 i think

[nocturne flicker]

Honestly, if they'd change the last number to be a core count value, it'd be so much better. 0 for 2, 1 for 4, 2 for 6, 3 for 8, 4 for 16 and so on

[elfin mural]

7530U is zen 2 on 6nm???

[mortal grail]

not even talking about old skus either lmao

[elfin mural]

what the hell

why amd

[mortal grail]

that can't be

[elfin mural]

why even do that

[mortal grail]

it'd be zen 3

[elfin mural]

no

[mortal grail]

the 3 is the architecture

[elfin mural]

i meant 7520U

[mortal grail]

oh

lol

[lone mango]

Jeez

[elfin mural]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-7520u

amd literally lists 6nm

[mortal grail]

RIGHT???

[elfin mural]

that's zen 3+'s node

i don't get it

[mortal grail]

fascinating mobile sku

[elfin mural]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-3-7320u

same thing as the r5

just weaker igpu

why even make the rules when you break it yourself

[nocturne flicker]

Also, they should just not produce Zen 1, + or 2 anymore. At this point it is just rebranding nearly a decade old junk

[elfin mural]

because that's why they get away with it

at least intel isn't this bad

the only reason i endure through this mess is

efficiency

zen 3 and above are good minimum

[mortal grail]

ps5, xbox

steam deck

lol

agree tho, really should have killed off zen 1 by now

[elfin mural]

gotta offload the junk somehow i guess

by dumping it onto laptops

[mortal grail]

inb4 ps5 pro is still zen 2 releasing this year

[elfin mural]

oh and

ryzen 5000xt for desktop

[wary fjord]

I learned something today

[elfin mural]

slight oc

[mortal grail]

5700XT + 5700XT

[elfin mural]

lmao

[nocturne flicker]

8345HX3DXT

[wary fjord]

Amd ceo Lisa su and Nvidia ceo jensen are cousins

Hmmm

[elfin mural]

watch a 9940hs exist

[mortal grail]

jensen : the more you buy the more you save
lisa : the more you letters the more you numbers

[elfin mural]

[wary fjord]

It runs on their family

XD

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/galaxy-brain-gif-25948010

[elfin mural]

oh to make things weirder

7320u and 7520u has rdna 2 igp

and runs on lpddr5

why not just-

MAKE IT A LOW END ZEN 3+

REEEEE

[nocturne flicker]

More numbers in the numbers to represent RDNA version numbers

[elfin mural]

and wait-

[mortal grail]

the numbers mason

[elfin mural]

they have same igpus

wow

even i am surprised

they released the same cpu

within two skus

[nocturne flicker]

83452HX3DXT

[elfin mural]

ryzen 3 and 5 means nothing

[nocturne flicker]

It keeps growing

[elfin mural]

they're the same thing apparently

[nocturne flicker]

Bigger number better

[mortal grail]

at this point I'm convinced it's a smoke grenade

[wary fjord]

Too confusing xD i stick to desktop cpus

[elfin mural]

i wanna beat amd's marketing team up

[mortal grail]

I'm definitely flashbanged by these names

[elfin mural]

same

[mortal grail]

confused and deaf

[nocturne flicker]

Monitors or AMD Mobile, the competition of the century for most confusing names

[elfin mural]

do you want zen 3 with vega igpu and ddr4

or zen 2 with 610m and lpddr5

pick your poison

[wary fjord]

No idea the best cpu that gives me alot of fps in Fortnite i guess

[elfin mural]

amd flashbanged everyone

[lone mango]

Wait did intel change mobile chip names again?

[elfin mural]

yeah

[lone mango]

Whats this core ultra

[elfin mural]

but it's not as bad

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

it still doesn't make sense

but it's less confusing

they're changing it for desktop in 15th gen too

no, "first gen"

[lone mango]

So they changed it to 4 digits for 11xx and 12xx but now they on something else

Intel core ultra 9 processor 185h

[elfin mural]

id say the 10th gen to 13th gen mix was bad

four digits and five

the h cpus always get five

u, p, m whatever are four

[lone mango]

What thought it was for for all of them

Nah this is crazy

Especially because i was not up to date on this

[nocturne flicker]

I'm glad I've gotten out of the laptop market

[elfin mural]

i actually like core ultra naming better

[nocturne flicker]

I don't have to deal with this

[elfin mural]

because it's easier

but still a pain in the ass

[lone mango]

I didn’t get all of it back then and when i do now i have to remember something else too

[lone mango]

So the 1 is generation right

[elfin mural]

yes

second digits are segmentation

[lone mango]

Ok so thats already better

[elfin mural]

core ultra and core

don't worry about that

just read the 3 digits

and the suffix that follows

u, h, hx

etc

[lone mango]

So whats the point then? Marketing

[elfin mural]

yep

plain old marketing

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

"i have core 9 ultra laptop ooo fast ooo"

[lone mango]

Boomers and npcs will eat that up fr

So basically its like the old scheme with less numbers

[elfin mural]

at least i can rest easy and just read the numbers as they mean it

basically yeah

ultra just means higher end, so it matters nothing

[lone mango]

They cut off the last two

[elfin mural]

just weird that they decided to get rid of core i naming

otherwise all is fine

[lone mango]

Yeah its almost the same. Just ignore ultra and add i and 00 at the end and there you go

Cant do thay with amd

[elfin mural]

numbers mean nothing with amd

i have to recite my info before i can even think

[mortal grail]

still overheating

[elfin mural]

lmao

can't amd do the same naming scheme as intel

all i wanted is that

[stiff scarab]

i just set up my new comptuer

[lone mango]

I thibk its too latr

[elfin mural]

nice

ya like two years too late

[stiff scarab]

wait what?

[lone mango]

Uh.. dont worry about it

[elfin mural]

we're talking about amd cpu naming

[stiff scarab]

i did another video of downloading and i dont know maybe it is same quality maybe its not

maybe im just nuts

then again i didnt try vlc yet

gonna try it now

any other video players you all suggest to test out also?

i only know vlc as not the default by windows

[elfin mural]

i think you should use google for that

[lone mango]

I use the windows default

Movies and tv is the blue icon right

[elfin mural]

I forgot

[lone mango]

Or is movies and tv the circular one which is the newer one they added

[lone mango]

[modern imp]

And it's 3 digits

[stiff scarab]

im right thou right this is me on my new windows 11 computer

[elfin mural]

idk

[stiff scarab]

on the left is original on the right is copy

[elfin mural]

looks the same to me

[stiff scarab]

his earing is less sharpen of the copy

right?

[lone mango]

They basically cut off the last two numbers. Its ok

[elfin mural]

no

i don't see a diff

[stiff scarab]

am i just nuts

[lone mango]

Buggin

[atomic current]

lower contrast on the right

[lone mango]

[stiff scarab]

@atomic current so you do see it also!!!

im not crazy?

[elfin mural]

he's pokin ya

just

don't worry pls

it's not an issue

[atomic current]

idk how to go about adjuysting vlc contrast to match

[elfin mural]

im literally on an oled screen

[stiff scarab]

@atomic current something you do see it also right yes or not?

[elfin mural]

can't see anything

[wary fjord]

Sleep

[stiff scarab]

his earing is a little less of contrast

you see it?

[elfin mural]

ehh

[stiff scarab]

im not crazy!

[lone mango]

You are sleep deprived

[atomic current]

looks more different on my va monitor than my ips one

[elfin mural]

[lone mango]

[stiff scarab]

@atomic current so what should i do?

[elfin mural]

it's not

[stiff scarab]

get a gpu? get more ram?

[elfin mural]

okay

so nothing is wrong

[atomic current]

idk maybe there's something to it

[elfin mural]

what he was saying was that it looked different on his monitors of different quality

[stiff scarab]

or maybe you guys were right

maybe this is due to downloading

and my only option to get exact

is screen recording

[elfin mural]

nah screen recording reduces quality so much

[stiff scarab]

wait it does?

what if i get a very high performance one?

by a very known screen recording company?

[elfin mural]

no

you're recording a record of a video

so you're viewing through a lower quality recording

[lone mango]

Size would go up too

[elfin mural]

^

[stiff scarab]

you mean its not the same as screenshot? because when i took a screenshot of the original

[elfin mural]

yep

[stiff scarab]

the screenshot and the video on the specific pause

are exact!!!

100%

[elfin mural]

recording and taking a screenshot is different

[stiff scarab]

so wouldnt screen recording do the same?

[elfin mural]

taking a screenshot is full resolution of your display

so you get what you see

[stiff scarab]

okay well is there a way to make a screen recording do that?

[elfin mural]

there's no way to do that

[atomic current]

it's like whjen you change OBS to look at itself, OBS turns into an infinite tunnel

[elfin mural]

you will lose quality in some ways

[stiff scarab]

well maybe i could do what i think there name was @2nd gaming soemthing?

and get a video upsclaer?

upscaler*

[elfin mural]

upscalers ruin the quality further

they take what's there of information and try to guess what to do with it

[stiff scarab]

so thats not a good idea?

not even thsi topaz?

[elfin mural]

yes

[stiff scarab]

then what should i do!

[elfin mural]

what you should do is

[stiff scarab]

maybe the issue is i dont have enough ram

[elfin mural]

calm your nerves and enjoy the video

nothing is wrong

[stiff scarab]

or i dont have a dedicated graphics card

[lone mango]

[stiff scarab]

@atomic current i could do what he suggested and change vlc contrast!

i found video effects of vlc should i do that?

[atomic current]

idek how it works\

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stiff scarab]

am i obsessing

oh my god!

im an idiot

i think the solution was right in front of me

maybe

if i have the exact url link from inspect element

which is not even on the site

perhaps i could just save the url links

and theyll still be accessible

after my expired subscription

which i do!

[lone mango]

You think its goofy if i get this ddr4 32g kit for $70? Cant find anything used thats worth buying

[stiff scarab]

oh sorry i have no idea what ddr4 is

[lone mango]

Yeah

[stiff scarab]

oh wait is that ram?

[mortal grail]

no ddr4 kit is worth more than $50 for 32gb these days

[atomic current]

70 is a lot for a 32gb ddr4 kit

[mortal grail]

$70 just about gets top shelf DDR5

32gb

[stiff scarab]

@mortal grail if i have the exact actual url then the video is still playable for me even after my subscription?

right?

[mortal grail]

Hynix AGBD

[lone mango]

Cant find anything that low

[mortal grail]

idk

[mortal grail]

where u?

[stiff scarab]

is it possible?

[mortal grail]

idk

I have no idea

lol

@lone mango where u at

[lone mango]

Us

Everything local im seeing are 16g kits or just overpriced

[mortal grail]

are you calculating before or after tax

[lone mango]

Before

[mortal grail]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bcnypg/team-t-force-vulcan-z-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-tlzgd432g3200hc16fdc01

used on ebay, fbmp, r/hardwareswap you could get typical for about $30

$40 max

good kits you shouldn't pay more than $50 used imo

not worth more as you encroach DDR5 too much where it's just plain better

[lone mango]

This guy is selling 64 for 80 but then in the description it says “compatible devices: smartphone” and its renders of the ram

[mortal grail]

quite literally one of the best kits you can buy
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qk9wrH/teamgroup-t-create-classic-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl46-memory-ctccd532g5600hc46dc01

hynix agbd

most people that buy this can clock it to 8000+

[lone mango]

Yeah at new its not much of a difference

[mortal grail]

the bot reacts too fast for me to catch those lol

[lone mango]

Damn even the emoji

The lfg emoji

[mortal grail]

oh lmao

[lone mango]

How does this make it tho

[mortal grail]

LOL

GOOD QUESTION

[lone mango]

They cant know

[lone mango]

Also true

[elfin mural]

it's

the p word

bot hated the emoji name

[lone mango]

Ok well at least its fitting because of who is in it

[elfin mural]

lmao

[ancient swift]

Oh my

The orange Pi Neo will start at 499

7840u that cheap? Insanity.

[mortal grail]

waiting to find out it'll cost $800usd here

[elfin mural]

sadge

[ancient swift]

How much does Orange increase their prices by in Australia

[mortal grail]

idk

But we've talked about this, and the strange hikes on price here

Every other handheld does it so I may as well assume they will too

[mortal grail]

I didn't even know orange was a brand until you sent this

[atomic current]

orange is that fruit with the skin

https://tenor.com/view/infinity-train-atticus-corgi-gif-18453021

[mortal grail]

Yeah you know about it

[ancient swift]

Orange makes Raspberry Pi competitors.

[mortal grail]

honestly if there was a 680M handheld for like 750 aud here last year I'd have it in my hands

[elfin mural]

I feel raspi are so powerful to a point where the original visionary is gone

[mortal grail]

never happened so

I just assume they're all 1000+

[ancient swift]

Have you looked at eBay?

[mortal grail]

We did

But they all had dumb shipping

[stiff scarab]

@mortal grail turns out the videos are protected once subscription ends the link gives no access even those its literally off of the website of which i got from inspect element

[elfin mural]

Current newest pi running 3ghz lmao

[mortal grail]

ok

[stiff scarab]

so my option is only the downloaded not exactly same contrast

[atomic current]

9ghz pi when

[mortal grail]

alr

[stiff scarab]

unless or wait would it be illegal to hire someone to remove the restriction after subscription expires of the link?

of which remember i paid for!

[ancient swift]

Oh, that's the sucky thing about the newest budget one Ayaneo released. Made a price floor so now the 6800u handhelds went up a bit in price on the used market.

[mortal grail]

maybe I can look again

the last time I looked was when we did together

and it was meh

omg 30% price hike over US

[elfin mural]

yikes

[mortal grail]

cheapest used I'm seeing so far

is 680

[ancient swift]

Steam decks will be iffy.

[mortal grail]

ohp 650

[elfin mural]

z1 extreme rog ally is 687 here

[mortal grail]

620

[elfin mural]

i can probably ship it to you for cheap enough

[elfin mural]

[mortal grail]

ridiculous tho

[elfin mural]

ya ik

but 680m

[mortal grail]

gimme another one lol

[ancient swift]

Also with conversion rates 533$ is equal to the 349 64gb steam deck

Ayaneo Geek

[mortal grail]

what igpu in it

[ancient swift]

680m

[mortal grail]

900

[mortal grail]

yeah new to used

that's so blegh

lol

[ancient swift]

GPD win 4?

[ancient swift]

Ah true

[mortal grail]

830

[ancient swift]

I wonder how much it'd cost to get it shipped straight from them.

[mortal grail]

1370

wait

1222

from a sketch site

ohhh I liked this one, literal psp

[ancient swift]

https://www.ayaneo.com/goods/8058510115061

Try this one, the 45% off won't apply until it's in your cart

I don't see why they'd increase prices (not accounting for conversion) they do global shipping.

[mortal grail]

lol

[swift sable]

can you add something to your order for me 🥱

[mortal grail]

it would apply tax I guess

it was showing the same price before I swapped to AU

so I'm guessing pre tax

[ancient swift]

What's the price in AU?

[mortal grail]

doesn't show

that's about 1100 tho

[ancient swift]

Dang

[mortal grail]

Telling you man, I gave up a while ago lol

After the Ayn Loki max sorta never happened, I lost hope

[ancient swift]

Those ended up shipping out lol, you could a had it if you didn't cancel xD

[mortal grail]

how much later tho

I waited like 8 months

8 months after the original ship date I think

[ancient swift]

Not sure when, but they were late to the market compared to the other handhelds lmao

[mortal grail]

I don't really mind tho anymore

[ancient swift]

That's Ayn's main issue.

[mortal grail]

I just parsec now

[ancient swift]

Valid

[mortal grail]

My one use for 680 handheld woulda been couch gaming

so parsec works, I'm just in the other room

I'd have to worry about weight limits on planes if I add more than my laptop

[ancient swift]

That's what my brother does lol

[mortal grail]

would've been cool to have but meh

lol

[mortal grail]

ultimately this is about as close to good as it gets

if it was maybe 40 cheaper

I'd have bought it a few months ago

[mental yoke]

yall think 360hz is worth it

[atomic current]

nah

get 720

[wary fjord]

I havent seen 360hz upclose im using 144 and im already satisfied with it

I guess if u really competitive maybe

[worn wave]

Like pro-level competitive, yeah.

Otherwise 1440p 165/240 >>> 1080p360

[mortal grail]

my experience is, over 240? no

OLED way better

OLED is crisp, clear, extremely responsive on the 240hz panels* (Akin to 540hz IPS) and colourful

It's just, the best of all worlds

[worn wave]

I'm a ways out from my next monitor purchase but it will likely be oled

120hz HDR oled on my phone is admittedly overkill but very pretty

[mortal grail]

I'm still only simping for OLED panels proven to last through burn in tests

[atomic mist]

I’ve had the opportunity to use a 240hz ultra wide woled with a much more normal subpixel layout very similar to rgb. It’s pretty great tbh

[mortal grail]

too many new things still coming out with burn-in problems

[atomic mist]

Lg just put out a bunch of new panels in the monitor space, all priced around 1k

[devout forum]

HUB is doing one rn

[atomic current]

competitive what

cocaine ingestion

[elfin mural]

huh

my laptop got a vbios update

[cedar compass]

Florida mans be like

[wary fjord]

Ill take it

I just have to find something to drove it away maybe a piece of meat or food xD

i dont have it and its quite expensive but one of the most popular and frotm what ive heard best backpacks

[craggy shoal]

good morning krusty krew

[next knoll]

Hi please recommend a wireless keyboard with minimal typing noise

[next knoll]

Good morning

[craggy shoal]

This guy is afraid of clicks and clacks (I'm kidding. Is this for an office environment?)

[next knoll]

I'm absolutely frightened now

My laptop makes so much noise

[velvet summit]

What

[next knoll]

Typing noise

[craggy shoal]

bruh

huh

[next knoll]

Yes for office

[craggy shoal]

It's difficult to get much quieter than a chiclet style keyboard

[next knoll]

No it's a optical mechanic keyboard

[velvet summit]

I have barely ever seen a laptop keyboard that was louder than the cooling fan

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[next knoll]

Idk it's what they call it

[craggy shoal]

damn nice laptop if it has a mechanical keyboard built in lol

[next knoll]

Yes

I like this one

[velvet summit]

Is it supplied by your work

[next knoll]

No it's my personal

[craggy shoal]

or if it's just that weird "mecha membrane" type stuff 🤮

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[next knoll]

Lol no it's great

It even got laster typing thing

Laser

Rog strix scar 15

So please recommend a few keyboards

[velvet summit]

I am the opposite of the person you should look for when asking for silent keyboard recommendations

[craggy shoal]

Since it's for work, and that I'm a mech keeb snob, got with a slim mech keeb with tactile switches. If you can't afford a slim mech keeb, any membrane should be fine. For the mouse, just look around for a mouse with silent switches. They exist

[craggy shoal]

absolutely same lol

[next knoll]

I'm willing to spend a bit on these peripherals

Good typing quality

Heard about brown keys

Or red keys

They don't sound

[craggy shoal]

slim mechs aren't the quietest, but I've heard that they've quieter than regular mechanical keyboards

[velvet summit]

Honestly speaking
The most silent switches are going to be membrane

[craggy shoal]

reds still make sound

[velvet summit]

You will still get the "thock" sound

[craggy shoal]

The key caps will still bottom out, which will lead to the clack

[next knoll]

oh i see

mushy keys then

[craggy shoal]

want this so bad 🥵
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q12-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard

[velvet summit]

Basically you have either mushy keys but almost no sound or crisp keys with sound

Actually, are topre keys mushy and have sound

They technically are membrane

[next knoll]

i see

[craggy shoal]

ew

can't stand membrane

[velvet summit]

Seems like topre isn't mushy

[next knoll]

i just need a keyboard that makes normal noise

[craggy shoal]

I might get my own slim mechanical keyboard just for work

[velvet summit]

Seems like topre switches do create a thock sound as well

[craggy shoal]

Just go membrane if you don't know what else to go for. I trash on membrane, but it's for an office environment. Can't go wrong with it tbh

[next knoll]

can hear this keyboard at 7k rpm both laptop fans

okay

thankyou 👍

[velvet summit]

Me bringing a "membrane keyboard" to work (it's a model m)

[craggy shoal]

In the office environments I've worked in, I prefer Dell wireless keyboards. You can do some cool stuff like pairing multiple keyboards and mice to the same dongle

[craggy shoal]

bruh I want one so bad

Thinking about just getting a replica but idk. I just want the switches from those keyboards

[velvet summit]

Lmao

Most cost effective is to buy the unicomp ones

Technically they aren't replicas since the tooling was bought from ibm

And they owned the patents

[craggy shoal]

yo where can I buy one?

[velvet summit]

Or rather it went from ibm to Lenovo to unicomp (former Lenovo employees)

https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/NEW_M
Also for the model f, that was a reproduction, and now they even have the modern layout but with model f build quality

https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ which is here

[craggy shoal]

But do they feel like the real thing?

[velvet summit]

Yes

Person who did the reproduction reverse engineered the switches, and also talked with former IBM employees that worked on it

[craggy shoal]

yo

bet

[velvet summit]

Everything from the feel to the sound was fine tuned

[craggy shoal]

bro thank you for this

I've been wanting a Model M or Model F for years

[velvet summit]

Idk about the modern one, but the reproduction model Fs use the same pinout as the original model F's, with a conversion board, so technically you can get a model f controller and unmodernize the keyboard lol

[craggy shoal]

interesting

Darn. The TKL is more expensive than the 100%

[velvet summit]

Oh yeah outside of model f, they are also making a modernized beamspring keyboard

[craggy shoal]

Hopefully I have money leftover by the end of this pay period because now I really want one of these lol

anyways imma get ready for work

[velvet summit]

Less Chonky, same switch design

Lmao have fun

Oh

[tranquil pebble]

I wonder how much noise that made

[velvet summit]

Alot

According to ear witnesses

It shook the ground

Were there any casualties

When I looked at the news 2 hours ago, it said no confirmed

Damn

[tacit geode]

He's annoying

No lights could mean it lost all power

Maybe he's in on it all

Building up credibility so when the right time comes he can act like something is gonna happen but it'll be the wrong thing

Anyways

Mooooving on

[craggy shoal]

Going to start calling my radar detector a "networking tool" so that when my mom rides in my car and she asks "what's that thing beeping for?" I can just say "it's a networking tool. It detects nearby frequencies that tell me to slow down" (she doesn't like expensive devices that lead to fun but illegal activities)

This technically isn't lying lol. You can technically use a radar detector as a "networking tool" to find "nearby networks" lolll

[tranquil pebble]

bruh

[craggy shoal]

Block Buster comeback before GTA 6

[wary fjord]

they comming back?

i think my dvd player is eating dust somewhere xD

[tranquil pebble]

[wary fjord]

xD

[wary fjord]

probably netflix form

[tacit geode]

Must be dish related

Yep dish Network owns them

nice one driver crash in the mid game

instant 1.25m yey

[velvet summit]

Shouldn't that invalidate the match though

[wary fjord]

not all driver crash are bad some are ❤️ 1.25m go brrr

[velvet summit]

It wouldn't make sense to count a driver crash as a loss

[wary fjord]

well they have the price money we cant do anything about it xD

80% of that probably going to their manager xD

What is with every single person selling cpus on marketplace leaving the thermal paste on and putting It back inside the packaging 🤦🏼‍♂️

[velvet summit]

wait

am4 isnt dead

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-preparing-ryzen-5000xt-series-yet-another-update-for-am4-socket

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

The cpu turns into a GPU or something???

They WILL NOT give up am4 bruh

[atomic current]

57900xtx

[wary fjord]

am4 is that favourite child

xD

[north crescent]

I cant wait to pair a 5700XT with a 5700XT

[ancient swift]

You can pair a 5700 with a 5700 for cheaper

[craggy shoal]

lmao but why? 💀

oh CPUs

[next knoll]

I wonder why are there two CPUs named 5700x and 5700x3D

Why didn't they just give igpu

[pliant berry]

https://vxtwitter.com/BNONews/status/1772515766929097088?t=RbTfYKsreOk3RuggZ4rYgA&s=19

pretty sure Netflix kept trying to get blockbuster on board back in the day but they refused lol

ig AM4 just sells really well since so many people have boards already lol

[dusk knot]

Oh wow

There were people on that bridge

[pliant berry]

possibly. I couldn't spot any cars crossing at the time but it isn't out of the question

I thought this was fake at first and then i started seeing it all over the news

[wary fjord]

oh thats a lot of money to fix

i cant even imagine xD

this is like the scene at final destination

https://tenor.com/view/hyperventilate-cant-breathe-hyperventilation-sheldon-cooper-gif-3510677630357883825

[pliant berry]

lol

apparently it was also a main route for hazardous transportation on east coast

[idle nexus]

holy crap this is what happened to the old skyway bridge in Tampa

[idle nexus]

anyone manually set DNS on Win11? trying this now

[elfin mural]

i use dns to bypass my country's bs censorship

[dusk knot]

They're alive?

[velvet summit]

i've done it before, but i changed my mind then set it back to dhcp, and put the dns into my dhcp server to automatically put all my dns to 1.1.1.1

though 1.1.1.1 doesnt have ad blocking

[sinful blade]

As far as I’ve seen, yes
Haven’t found any contradicting info yet

[dusk knot]

Ok

[sinful blade]

Dozen or so cars are dead in the water though.

Anyone have bridge collapse insurance

[idle nexus]

why'd you change your mind?

[idle nexus]

lol good free speech ftw

[velvet summit]

because i didnt want to manually set dns on every device in the house

and remembered that i can just put it in the dhcp server

lol

[idle nexus]

ahh so does that mean you set it on the router instead of each device?

[velvet summit]

yeah

just set it once, and after the lease renews on the client devices, the dns server will change for the clients

[wooden marten]

Probably the company that owns the ship is going to have to pay a ton of legal fees and reimbursement to those injured

[idle nexus]

I would do that but I don't wanna deal with nonsense if stuff stops working on, e.g., my gf's iPhone

she'll be all grumpy & tell me to put it back

[velvet summit]

lmfao

[wooden marten]

Also damage to vehicles

[idle nexus]

not worth it. let her enjoy ads

[wooden marten]

Yeah theyre done for

[velvet summit]

just dont tell her, and she wont notice

if it stops working, just blame the isp

"that damn isp again"

lmfao

[idle nexus]

the other day I moved the router so I could plug in with ethernet & she thought I messed up her Netflix somehow

[velvet summit]

💀

[idle nexus]

lol which makes zero sense but she seems not to understand the whole "correlation is not causation" thing sometimes

[velvet summit]

top ten reasons why IT people are always so grumpy: figure 1

lmfao

my parents are also kinda similar
my mom's old phone lags, and she thinks it was caused by slow wifi

it was like 7 years old at that point (the phone)

[cedar bobcat]

Bro the ssd on sale completely sold out in 2 days

[idle nexus]

for whatever reason, deleting the stored network info & restarting her iphone fixed it entirely

heckin apple users

[velvet summit]

honestly speaking

[cedar bobcat]

I feel your pain to I hate Apple

[velvet summit]

just restarting the phone fixes so many issues i have

no need to delete any cache or such

just turning it off and back on again and everything works like normal

[idle nexus]

I use SN770 1TB & it's been good to me lol

[cedar bobcat]

That’s usually a last ditch effort before throwing it against the wall

[idle nexus]

I finally tore the headsink off my SN850

gonna use it in copper build if it's ever finished lol

[cedar bobcat]

Nah Saturday I bought a 500gb ssd external that was 32 bucks all of it is sold out now

[pliant berry]

people don't often actually turn off their phones

[velvet summit]

true

[idle nexus]

Android has a setting that auto restarts your phone like monthly, weekly, or daily

[velvet summit]

that's actually the one good thing my mom does with tech, she fully shuts down her phone before bed every night

[idle nexus]

mine restarts daily iirc

[cedar bobcat]

I hate that you can’t use your google play data on iPhone so all your games reset

[idle nexus]

lol don't worry

[cedar bobcat]

I had so much games on android until we switched to Apple

[idle nexus]

between US DOJ & EU, Apple is gonna be forced to get their crap together

[velvet summit]

there is google play on iphone?

[pliant berry]

yeah that's the pain on consoles in general

[idle nexus]

might be soon lolol

[wooden marten]

Jailbreak

[velvet summit]

OH you cant use it on iphone

[cedar bobcat]

The google play data where you had to sign in to save data there’s none of that on iPhone

I had to repurchase all my games

[velvet summit]

damn you buy games on mobile

[idle nexus]

one time I used Linux Mint to put Chromebook on a laptop

[cedar bobcat]

Minecraft terraria

[velvet summit]

(well, i've bought like 3 games total i guess)

[idle nexus]

that had google play but really wasn't worth the amount of time it took tbh

[wooden marten]

that help wanted mobile port kinda hit

[velvet summit]

i own geo dash, getting over it, and... i forget what the other game i bought on gplay was

[idle nexus]

I wish Samsung Dex let you set key bindings to play mobile on desktop easily

another not worth the time/effort thing I've found

[cedar bobcat]

I had getting over it I almost got my phone through the wall at the end of playing

[idle nexus]

I never tried sideloading Google Play on Win11 with WSA

[velvet summit]

i didnt even know it had a mobile port

[idle nexus]

does it work?

[velvet summit]

how did it compare to the actual version

[cedar bobcat]

It probably doesn’t

[wooden marten]

Same thing but without the nightmare levels and ofc not in vr

pretty fun for $6 though

[velvet summit]

oh

damn only 6 dollars

cheaper tha minecraft on mobile

[idle nexus]

lol FNAF story is so confusing

[velvet summit]

im ngl i got scared at the menu screen LMFAO

[wooden marten]

I just play the games for the fun, dont bother with the lore

[idle nexus]

I never finished Security Breach cuz I got annoyed with it

[velvet summit]

this was fun though, and less scary, but i ran out of time to play it

[wooden marten]

That was a terrible game

[idle nexus]

I kinda don't like games where you can't defend yourself

[wooden marten]

They made a help wanted 2?

[velvet summit]

i wouldnt say terrible, but it wasnt good

[wooden marten]

What

[idle nexus]

ya it's pretty new

[velvet summit]

ruin was much better

[wooden marten]

Is it fun?

[idle nexus]

lol I played Ruin & thought it was kinda dumb

didn't finish that either

[velvet summit]

much more than help wanted 1

it's more arcadey though

so it's less scary, though the hard mode levels are more scary

[idle nexus]

for both Security Breach & Ruin, I'm at like 70-80% finished

[velvet summit]

lmao

[idle nexus]

I hate how slow you run in those games

[wooden marten]

I want to get a vr headset first

[velvet summit]

quest 2 is $200

atm

last i checked 4 days ago

[wooden marten]

Yeah thats what I was thinking

Thats actually a really good price ngl

[idle nexus]

I have the original Oculus & kept telling myself I'd use it when a good enough game came out for it. Long story short, it's now obsolete & I never got a good enough game

[velvet summit]

it's probably going to be the final sale of the quest 2

i am 70% confident that this sale is to get rid of remaining stock

[idle nexus]

I was thinking... you know how they make those awful cables that convert 2 or 3 6+2s into a single 12+4vhpwr? why can't they make one of those that connect directly to PSU? I know PSU pinouts vary & all but aren't there some cables that like a majority use?

[velvet summit]

i guess?

[wooden marten]

My entire setup is basically just high end 2021 hardware

[velvet summit]

you can get them from cablemod or such i think

[velvet summit]

honestly should be fine

what gpu do you use

and what cpu

[wooden marten]

Well I have a rx 6800 coming on thursday

12600k

[velvet summit]

yeah you're more than fine for running a quest 2

[wooden marten]

Yeah im sure it would run well its just funny how everything I have is from 2021 and I bought it this year

[velvet summit]

lmao

[wooden marten]

but the 30 and 6000 series hold their value really well

probably the best gpu generation

[velvet summit]

or more like

pricing went 📈

[sinful blade]

Millions in damages 100%

[wooden marten]

yeah but like 2020/21 graphics cards can still keep up well with new AAA games

This is probably going to be the last time though

After this they’re gonna get too hardware hungry

[idle nexus]

like dis

[tacit geode]

fiber internet soon

like by 5pm

[idle nexus]

the 4 connections are directly out of PSU tho?

why is that picture like inverted colors lol

[pliant berry]

same, it's just very unsettling

I still have to finish that game

[velvet summit]

i still have to start the game

😭

i played like the first night and quit lmfao

it is so much more terrifying in vr

way too immersive

have you seen uhh

[pliant berry]

im sad, I prefer working on my macbook but playback in animation and multicam editing can be a bit slow sometimes

[idle nexus]

like this I mean... still dunno why the colors changed

[velvet summit]

swaggersouls help wanted gameplay

[pliant berry]

I have not

[velvet summit]

he was literally so terrified

he got jumpscared and started physically throwing hands

[pliant berry]

lol

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9de4_4Upl4 @rancid juniper

[idle nexus]

if I don't get a new PSU with two 12vhpwr connections I have to hide this nightmare in my case somehow

[wary fjord]

peach is op now

xD

he doesnt need mario

hes a strong independent woman on her new game

xD

[rancid juniper]

firend or foe?

[wooden marten]

I think a fully modular psu would be a good investment

[idle nexus]

lol that is fully modular

but I'd need 8 6+2s to have 2 12vhpwr

[velvet summit]

https://cablemod.com/product/cablemod-rt-series-pro-modflex-sleeved-12vhpwr-pci-e-cable-for-asus-and-seasonic-black-16-pin-to-dual-8-pin-60cm/ other companies may have similar

Though they're only using 2x8pin for 1x12vhpwr

[sinful blade]

Bungie stream starting now

[velvet summit]

honestly speaking, idk why yours need more than 2 connectors? like, it's not like that tiny connector isnt able to handle all that current if it's one that's built properly with good contact

hmm

you can buy a 5 pack of eap613 (wifi 6) APs for $420 usd ($84/AP)

or a 5 pack of eap245 (wifi 5) APs for $370 usd ($74/AP)

(tplink omanda)

this is pretty good value for a house, especially if you have a house of concrete

cheaper than ubiquiti

note that you may want to get a WLAN controller (another $90) and a PoE+ switch (maybe $100)

[pliant berry]

sometimes you can find cheap aps from offices upgrading infrastructure if you are really on a tight budget

[velvet summit]

true

though you're probably not getting wifi 6

[pliant berry]

prob not

[velvet summit]

wifi 5 bundle isnt as good value imo, just $50 more for wifi 6

ubiquiti doesnt seem to have any decent bundles for wifi, and you're unlikely to get a bulk discount for an order of under 100 ap's

yeah no matter how you cut it, ubiquiti's setup will end up anywhere from slightly more expensive to a fair bit more expensive

[worthy tapir]

New phone 😏

[rancid juniper]

hard drive jumpscare + math dlc

[lone mango]

that was two hours ago

[idle nexus]

I remembered the problem with going straight from rad to memory: 24-pin gets obstructed

really dunno how to do this much better at this point

[mortal grail]

if it fits it sits lol

[idle nexus]

GPU out will hit memory in then memory out to rear rad & I feel half accomplished despite high cost & multiple compromises

I thought about getting 90 degree adapter for 24-pin but there's so little space to fit thru the motherboard tray openings already cuz eATX board

[chrome mirage]

What score does it get in 3D mark wildlife extreme. My phone got 5158 points

[mortal grail]

the 90deg cables are good

the 90 deg adapters are all proven bad at this point

anyway we can chat over this later if you're down. I have to go get ready for work sorry
