Cheaper SKUs for AM5 According to Italian media Bits and Chips, AMD is reportedly launching a new series of budget CPUs for AM5 socket.  Currently, the cheapest AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU is the Ryzen 5 7500F, a 6-core variant sold exclusively in certain markets. It is relatively easy to find on platforms like Aliexpress for […]

yeah, those chairs are junk, can confirm. Fall apart quick. have an office chair now and it's hella better.

Office chairs are almost always better than gaming chairs

Unless you pay a lot for a really nice gaming chair lol

Logitech Embody, anyone?

Not only that, the gaming chair in the pic is horribly hot. My mesh office chair is super comfy and cool

I mean, it was comfy for about 6 months then things went downhill fast

Anyone have any thoughts on the XReal Air 2 Pro AR glasses?

velvet summit

in fact, replacement batteries should be arriving tomorrow

been using the ups for a few years now and it's about time for a battery change

#

bought it in the first year of the lockdown

how long do the batteries hold a charge if u got multiple?

#

probably not hot swapable is it

velvet summit

not hotswappable

honest shell
#

figures

velvet summit
#

technically speaking, the batteries could last a while longer

#

i just simply happened to see a good price and was buying something from the company anyways so it's getting shipped together

honest shell
#

was thinking if the power went out for hours in winter or something

velvet summit
#

oh nah

#

a UPS is meant for keeping your pc powered until it can shutdown

#

nothing more

keen shale
#

You'll need a generator for that. UPS is designed to give you enough time to safely shut down and also condition the power.

honest shell
#

and to just have to keep my pc and printer from shuting off from short brown outs

keen shale
#

It'll do the short brownouts

velvet summit
#

most UPS's void their warranty or protection or whatever if you use a laser printer btw

#

or at least that's what they say

#

idk how they would know lmao

honest shell
#

3d printer..

velvet summit
#

oh

#

ngl

#

i only use laser printers lmao

honest shell
#

i was looking at the eco flow

velvet summit
#

a power station is a different story

honest shell
#

id want one that can run as a ups aswell

#

idk just looking threw prime day deals tonight

velvet summit
#

honestly, it's still better imo to get a standby generator and an automatic transfer switch if you get frequent power outages

honest shell
#

the short brown outs have been getting more and more common

#

its a apartment

velvet summit
#

ah

#

welp

honest shell
#

so gas gen isnt a option sadly

velvet summit
#

well..... the balcony smart

#

everyone would hate you lmao

honest shell

there is none XD

velvet summit

and yes they would

velvet summit

no balcony apartment

practically a prison

honest shell
#

im on the first floor

velvet summit

#

do you have a terrace or whatever then

honest shell
#

but anything on ground level mine as well be in the fron yard with a take me sign

#

nah just back door steps straight to what is essentially a privet ally

velvet summit
#

oh well

honest shell
#

and the buildings air intake is there sooooo

velvet summit
#

also idk many power stations since i never really had a need for them, so good luck lmao

honest shell
#

thanks

storm narwhal
#

If that's what you wanted instead of just protection from brownouts or having just a few minutes to save your work in a power outage it's not a bad choice

storm narwhal
honest shell
#

yah id want it to be able to run as a ups aswell as be there for when the power goes out for a day or 2

storm narwhal
#

A ups can do that but it'll only be for charging your phones and maybe laptop

honest shell
#

id want space heaters and such

storm narwhal
#

Hmm

#

Well, ecoflow would do it

honest shell
#

and my pc if its in the summer

storm narwhal
#

Jackery is also another option to look at

honest shell
#

they dont seem to have the same capacity for the price

storm narwhal
#

but it is another option I know haha

#

I only got a basic understanding tho, anything about max output voltage would be on the website

#

And all the other features they have

honest shell
#

im trying to find the best reputation, and capacity for under 1k mainly using amazon deals

storm narwhal
#

Well, you aren't going wrong with ecoflow as far as I know

#

Just look up some reviews and test of it as well

#

Could also hook up solar lol

#

Stick it outside the balcony/window in a totally not jank way

honest shell
#

yah, in winter solar wont do much tho

storm narwhal
#

True

#

It'll still give some but solar is still good to have for summer if you really wanna cut down on utility power draw

honest shell
#

im thinking this for more of a summer long brown outs and winter cold night black outs

storm narwhal
#

Oh yeah Id get solar then myself

#

Esp if you'd be gaming

honest shell
#

but also be a low enough price to make sense since i live in the city so power going out is more of a inconvenience than anything else

storm narwhal
#

Mmhm

#

Well, budgets by your judgement haha

honest shell
#

and i can get pannels latter if i decide its worth it

storm narwhal
#

True

honest shell
#

first i just need the batterys

storm narwhal
#

It also means you don't need to worry about wall recharging in a power outage

honest shell
#

yah

storm narwhal
#

But yeah I'd say ecoflow is good

#

Haven't seen any complaints from what I looked at

honest shell
#

we only have outages for longer than 8 hours like once every 3 years tops

#

but i expect that likelyhood to increase

keen shale
#

Panels ain't cheap. Need at least 6-7 200W panels for a 1000W PC. At ~$200 each, that's moolah. They never produce anywhere close to rated output.

storm narwhal
#

Mmhm

honest shell
#

yah thats why im not loking at pannels right now

keen shale
#

I wouldn't at all for what you want

storm narwhal
#

You usually don't gaming in an outage anyway-

keen shale
#

Well, single player games exist

storm narwhal
#

Yeah but I personally would hold off haha

#

Thanks for your input tho

#

All I know is solar = free power

keen shale
#

Not free

#

Panels cost money

#

ROI takes years for a house.

storm narwhal
#

That's fair

keen shale
#

We have a travel trailer that came with a panel, it's useless lol

#

Need 3 more to charge the batteries in a useful manner

storm narwhal
#

Would two be okay?

#

It's up to 200w?

keen shale
#

You will NEVER see 200W out of a 200W panel. Maybe 100-125

storm narwhal
#

Oh

keen shale
#

And that's with it tracking the sun for the best solar capture

storm narwhal
#

That's good to know

keen shale
#

Yeah, the ratings are poo poo

storm narwhal
#

200w if the panel was in space 500,000km from the sun

keen shale
#

If they're on the roof you might see 150w at high noon

#

Our fridge alone draws 13 amps running, that's about 175W, so need two panels just to run that

storm narwhal
#

Damn

#

When you put it that way

keen shale
#

It's basic math

#

And crappy advertising from panel manufacturers

storm narwhal
#

Yeah but I didn't think about it that way lol

#

I see the flaws now

keen shale
#

Like lead acid batteries are rated for 750 amp hours but you can really only draw down about 50% of that before you damage the battery

storm narwhal
#

750 Ah

keen shale
#

LiFE is better but still only rated to about 80% stamped capacity

stuff like this is why I stay away from anything labeled audiophile with very few exceptions

Well, headphones labeled audiophile is fine, most market themselves as audiophile quality

tranquil pebble

audiophile cables though... no just no

esp digital ones

These things take advantage of people who dont actually know how digital signals work

velvet summit

There are some sense in some things, like balanced cables, and better quality shielding for cables

But yeah

Digital cables especially have no difference

tranquil pebble

Balanced cables? My HD 660S came with one standard

velvet summit

Hd6xx only comes with unbalanced

#

Though I don't have a balanced DAC or amp so it doesn't really matter

tranquil pebble

I dont need balanced anyways lol

velvet summit

Indeed

Which is why they saved a good few bucks by not including it for the 6xx

tranquil pebble

but at $200 I dont think I could have asked for a better deal on headphones

#

good luck finding anything at that price point that matches HD 660S

velvet summit
#

Used audiophile headphone market is great because pretty much all headphones up in that price range has a replaceable ear cups and headband foam

since they were normally like $600

You can use it just fine without it. i used it with both but they have low impedance versions too
