I have the V3, which is basically the same thing as this one. It's a great keybo...
what ist the difference beetwen the k8 pro and v3
cause the one costs 150 and the other 90
craggy shoal
I could be wrong but I think the K8 Pro is wireless as well as wired, while the V3 is only wired
Other than that, they're practically the same
I'd definitely rather spend the extra money and get the K8 Pro rather than the regular K8
limpid dune
yes i get the k8 pro for 90euro
craggy shoal
Yeah do that. Very solid keyboard for sure
limpid dune
but i heard that the k8 pro has terrible keycaps and bad wirelles connection
craggy shoal
I also recommend getting the hot-swappable version if you want to change the switches
limpid dune
yes of course
craggy shoal
but i heard that the k8 pro has terrible keycaps and bad wirelles connection
The key caps should be PBT. But also yeah, I've heard bad thing about the wireless capabilities of Keychron keyboards
But I mean it's 90 euros vs 150 euros lol
craggy shoal
I don't have much experience with Epomaker. But I think a lot of people recommend that specific keyboard if you go with Epomaker (iirc)
craggy shoal
I personally would go with Keychron. I've heard a lot of people don't recommend Epomaker for people who are new to keyboards
limpid dune
would you go with the keychron even if it has problems with the wirelles?
craggy shoal
If it's cheaper than the wired-only version, yes
It's probably people having the 2.4GHz dongle too far from the keyboard. Wireless via Bluetooth would be fine. But even then, I'd probably still use it wired
I also have a wireless Epomaker numpad and it's also kinda weird via its wireless functionality
limpid dune
What do you mean by problems? Do you mean that the connection is broken or what?
craggy shoal
Sometimes the 2.4GHz dongle doesn't stay connected to the keyboard. Not sure what's happening on the technical side, but sometimes you'll type something and some of the characters won't appear
limpid dune
puh thats bad
craggy shoal
I think it's mostly interference with other 2.4GHz devices. I experience this as well because I have a lot of smart home devices in my room that operate on the 2.4 GHz band
limpid dune
i am struggling which keyboard i should buy
craggy shoal
Just get the K8 Pro and use it wired lol. It's the best option imo
It doesn't have to be wireless 24/7. You can have it plugged in. Plus it's the cheaper option between that and the V3 (if I understand correctly)
ngl I wish I got the K8 Pro
omg I didn't even know they made a white one
I need one now
no brown switches available 😠
Oh wait it's available with the RGB backlight option

I'd personally do the lenovo option

But you seem to not need any of that, so the pavilion aero is decent
Besides you're guaranteed to get a great battery life on the aero
The nuc laptop with 12700h and arc a550m is a bit of a gamble
Because arc drivers are still pretty iffy
mental yoke
the lenovo does look slick tbh, if its worth the extra whatever i can set aside some cash for it most likely
school is about out, so ill have some more time to clock hours at work

Found a solution
a stupid one at that
IDK why, but its WAY more efficient to turn off hardware accel in discord when streaming
Like, 1080p 60fps on my 3090 uses 150-180 watts to encode
On my 12600k, it uses about 20-30 watts, and about 15% of my CPU
1080p 60 fps on my CPU uses as much as 720 15fps on my GPU
this should be a massive help for energy efficiency and heat in my room
even 3440x1440@60 streaming on discord only uses about 18% of my CPU and 30-40 watts. The same on my GPU takes WELL over 240 watts

RDNA5 seems to be the better wait
however im VERY curious to see how much raytracing performance is improved in RDNA4
that whole generation is a fix for RDNA3

AI is just an Nvidia conspiracy to keep prices high

I think I’ll just get a 4090, I don’t want this sff stuff <:kekw:741678350791081...
Can your current specs handle it?
mighty hazel
Well they should
12700K is good
I’m not gonna run it at 1080p though
I’d only get 4090 if it’s at a decent price

what bothered me is mid 22 to mid 23 it was almost 5$ for regular

story of my life being a hockey fan
craggy shoal
same being an F1 fan only I've found the right friend group
pliant berry
that reminds me, did the rangers lose last night. I didn't see the second half
pliant berry
dang
plucky stratus
bruins all the way
You are a little late
plucky stratus
hockey is easily better than all main sports
More interesting to watch than baseball and soccer
pliant berry
some of my relatives are big hockey fans so I just end up watching along once in a while
plucky stratus
nhl playoffs are easily the best though
Basketball is always the same I’d say MLB is up there in a tie with playoffs
tacit geode
i hate all sports
i follow them but
football, Soccer, Baseball are all grown men playing with balls
hockey is ok when theres fights
pliant berry
I don't follow pro sports often but I watch here and there since most of my work is taking photos of sports

if im at a bar or whatever ill watch whats on

yeah lmao

whats next? nascar e
craggy shoal
nah they have to change batteries. They don't even charge. Just completely replace the whole battery and I think it takes like a whole minute 💀
tacit geode
wow
pliant berry
wow there is some room for improvement there
velvet summit
1 minute?
velvet summit
Swapping a forklift battery is faster than that
craggy shoal
I've also never seen a race though. I only care for WRC and F1 (and others when they're in season)
tacit geode
swapping my rc car battery is faster
misty sparrow
imagine how bad it would be if they replaced cars in in races with just electric vehicles
craggy shoal
bruh I just wouldn't watch it anymore
misty sparrow
sound is a big part of races no?
craggy shoal
yes
it is lol
"shhhh. he's about to pass"
like bro 😭
it's supposed to be exciting bro not a golf tournament
misty sparrow
we'd probably be saying the same thing if we were golf nuts and someone loud came along
golf is pure silence until the end
i want silence when im playing golf not when im watching if you know what i mean
craggy shoal
true but golf is more of a calm sport. yeah it's a sport but there isn't much noise (and there shouldn't be tbh). racing is far different. it's fast-moving and requires a lot more physical capabilities (more than you'd think, too)
misty sparrow
but still
i think its fun to change things up once in a while
have you seen the movie Happy Gilmore?
craggy shoal
oh yeah. I wish they did golf like Happy Gilmore 💀
honestly being super genuine about that too
misty sparrow
the whole movie is just a slap in the face to golf and thats why it excels
probably the only good Adam Sandler movie to ever exist
bc it isnt just low-level humor like some of his other stuff
mental yoke
guys, serious question. recently my GPU has been crashing on me now more than ever. My PC keeps making this loud noise and everything goes black. I already did a DDU on my drivers and it still tends to crash....what is going on??
rancid juniper
no way 😂
misty sparrow
yeah its in there all right
the title screen randomly plays music too, so you can just start the game and you'll get rick rolled by RNG
rancid juniper
the title screen randomly plays music too, so you can just start the game and yo...
cant escape rick rolls bruh
misty sparrow
it just shows the excellence of this game
was expecting it to be bad but its really solid
rancid juniper
was expecting it to be bad but its really solid
The devs really did good with this one, I shouldn't have slept on it till now
The dynamic between the crew is solid
Combat is alright and the environments are superb
misty sparrow
it really did feel like a AAA game
crystal dynamics made it right? they're a AA dev i think
rancid juniper
crystal dynamics made it right? they're a AA dev i think
It's made by eidos-montreal
rancid juniper
It was the last game for the devs to use their OWN in-house game engine (Dawn engine)
Now they are making games in UE5
Kinda sucks ngl
rancid juniper
Same here
misty sparrow
sure its fine for familiarity but UE5 has its own problems
would rather have it be like the 2000s where we had a diverse amount of engines
rancid juniper
Yea and each were unique to the studio
misty sparrow
i guess the switch to UE5 overall can be blamed on devs not teaching future devs on how to use the inhouse engine
rancid juniper
Despite how big UE5 is, will it meet the developer's intended design?
misty sparrow
or dev studios using contractor work when contractors dont know how to use the engine
rancid juniper
i guess the switch to UE5 overall can be blamed on devs not teaching future devs...
That and the fact that the current gaming market craved bigger/more ambitious titles
Not only that but it is very costly to maintain and upgrade the engine for future projects
mental yoke
I got sunburned so badly today
rancid juniper
I'm not a dev so that's just a guess

Execution: terrible
rancid juniper
but Frostbite kept holding the game back so much
Bingo

I got sunburned so badly today
Hope you'll be ok
mental yoke
I hope so too

Frostbite is a terrible engine hope it's leaving soon
mental yoke
Today was so funny tho

*Frostbite is a terrible engine hope it's leaving soon*
I'm sure that the next battlefield will still use frostbite
It's never going away anytime soon

Our 12 year old is like 5'11.

I'm mixed with Korean and German so.

i wish lol
misty sparrow
why do people have an unhealthy obsession with wanting to be taller

Its not my fault
misty sparrow
it isnt
misty sparrow
eh
but what makes a normal person look at a tall person and think
"I wish I was that tall"
mental yoke
Lemme correct that
misty sparrow
nothing wrong with height
velvet summit
average height is the most convenient height
i have a 6'4 friend that wishes they were shorter lmfao
misty sparrow
wow
velvet summit
they dont fit in alot of things due to their height
misty sparrow
so they're taking a family picture and all of a sudden their neck is out of frame?
seems to me like height is pros and cons
velvet summit
nah they dont like their family that much
misty sparrow
understandable
velvet summit
well, they're like the family step ladder in the sense that everyone asks them to grab things off the shelf
and also they dont fit in small cars well
(they like small cars)
also they need to find extra long beds so their legs dont hang off
society is built around the average male height
so being taller or shorter than average is often inconvenient
misty sparrow
i have no idea what the average is here
misty sparrow
oh wow wikipedia has 6 different average height categories just for US
because of ethnicity
seems like it hovers around 5'9 for men and 5'3 for women though
it seems wrong
velvet summit
nah 5'9 seems to be the tallest average race
velvet summit
The Nilotic peoples of Sudan such as the Shilluk and Dinka have been described as some of the tallest in the world. Dinka Ruweng males investigated by Roberts in 1953−1954 were on average 181 cm (5 ft 11 in) tall, and Shilluk males averaged 182 cm (6 ft 0 in).[31] The Nilotic people are characterized as having long legs, narrow bodies and short trunks, an adaptation to hot weather.[32] However, male Dinka and Shilluk refugees measured in 1995 in Southwestern Ethiopia were on average only 176 cm (5 ft 9 in) and 172 cm (5 ft 8 in) tall, respectively. As the study points out, Nilotic people "may attain greater height if privileged with favourable environmental conditions during early childhood and adolescence, allowing full expression of the genetic material."[33] Before fleeing, these refugees were subject to privation as a consequence of the succession of civil wars in their country from 1955 to the present.
where i see the 5'9 on wikipedia
misty sparrow
go measure it then

The metric system is bad

what do you even need to learn about metric
it's just base ten
if you know how to count fingers, you can use metric

or whatever measurement system is used by the rest of the world and not US

Metric is just more practical irl
misty sparrow
why did the US keep a wacky measurement system

0C = freezing
misty sparrow
for everything
rancid juniper
more like 10c = 100f
🤔
velvet summit
realistically, the most practical measurement system is the measurement system you're good at
elfin mural
And 100C is boiling
elfin mural
It makes sense
rancid juniper
100c is 500f right?
misty sparrow
doesnt matter, im tired of converting
i need to get out of america
this place sucks
velvet summit
i think 500f is closer to 200
rancid juniper
Oh
velvet summit
☠️
500f is like
max conventional household oven temp
maybe goes up to 550 if you have a bit more beefy oven

Not a true gamer if you can't touch a 500f laptop smh
