A lot has changed in 5 years eh

I literally 10x'd my internet speed since 2014

https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/12/the-witcher-3-switch-port-will-run-at-540p-on-mobile-720p-docked?sf103963658=1

O i am laffin

I'm impressed they got it to run at all

Getting it to run at all is impressive, sure

It's real impressive for an underpowered A53 and a meme Novideo card slower than a 1030

The screen is tiny you aren't gonna notice the difference between 720p and 540p

but they're gonna charge people full price to play with Original Xbox-tier graphics

I can guess that it will look like canned ass on the switch but then getting it running at all is impressive

Oh Jesus what the fuck

That looks worse than I expected

shut up and buy it goy

I don't even own a switch

What can I do, lick the cart?

It'll taste like minotaur cum

they taste awful

switch used 3 year old outdated nv*dia hardware at launch please buy it PLEASE

amazed they didn't announce a switch pro this e3

tbh nintendos selling points on games isnt graphics most of rthe time

but it seems third parties are really struggling to work with that

a good amount of those games launch with a lot of performance issues

saints row for example

They probably got a huge fucking deal on the chips because nobody was buying the tegras

inb4 they somehow end up using Ryzen APU for the next one lmao

i mean nintendos trick for years has been using niche out of date stuff and just making it work

ever since like, GameCube yea

since gameboy times they have gotten weird deals and just made devices from them

Or all their portables

although

and got to hand it to them

they are fucking good at what they do

It was really really funny watching the Minecraft Earth demonstration

And realizing this is literally Nintendo AR games from like, almost a decade ago

they just hampered their tech so much it was basically useless with the 640x480 camera and didn't use it for any real games

AR is gimmick tech at this point

AR might be currently gimmick but it is the future of many interfaces

having AR-boosted stuff for mechanical shit.. oh god yes it was glorious experience

NGL

Some of the cooler stuff like how many universities have VR welding demos for potential trade students is neat

MX Linux (mepis and antiX collaboration?) has anyone test driven it yet

how good/bad is it

yes

bunch of additional stuff I didnt care for

ugly default install

if this is the default ? i have seen worse

yeah

supposedly good for noobs trying to get games/drivers working

has a bunch of it's own features, none of which useful for me

I use Intel Clear Linux because the Intel performance and optimization flags in the kernel actually make a huge difference on a shitty dual core netbook

Is this pop os ?

want extra work for today : here https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/tcpsack

swapping hard drive heads without fancy tools? but he bought that PC-3000 module.

that is a fancy tool

<:hahayes:330459104495665153>

What would be the cheapest way to get a pi hole running?

to use an old PC you already have at home

@Julian is raspbi 3 that costly ?

pi zero is 5-usd on states

and usb to ethernet adapter to that ? few more ?

+ psu + usb ethernet adapter + all the bullshit

easier to just use standard DNS and an adblocker

zero can be run from any usb charger 99% of homes already have

especially since half the sites people use nowadays break if you have an adblocker on

stop browsing shitty sites

problems solved

my day to day browsing does not have any problem from* anti-adblock stuff

my class schedule is on their own platform and ublock stops it loading for some reason

must be some element rule/js* ?

have you opened the logger to see what causes it ?

cbf

just disable ublock since there's no ads anyway

pi usb and ethernet is shared

Matters none on pihole

Whitelist the class schedule website?
I don't they're running ads on them

new pi looking aigh

plenty of good rockchip boards tho

that 4K60 decoding

nyum

no clue what id use it for because im a 144p african peasant

The new pi looks p great ye

Ethernet being dedicated is nice

usb 3 is good too

less hobbyist more simple home server/multimedia looking

So Ryzen CPU + Nvidia GPU is the best meme combo now?

probably yes

Id say amd gpu too as drivers and features really matter more than that extra 1% raw performance

i find myself cursing monthly if not biweekly something shit about novidya drivers

but it might be difference as i got used to amd first and actualy decent stuff

for me it's the exact opposite

the drivers for the AMD card in my work pc are hot garbage and that's the only time i ever use AMD

all my other devices are nvidia and i've never had issues

what card out of curiosity ?

as its work pc ?

fuck if i know

r9 300 something

i got a new pc recently

now i have a quadro p620

how difficult can it be to change a mouse's click switch

i mean my soldering skills are like 3 out of 10

will i fuck it up

depends on your mose and how its built

for my mouse its plug and play (hell they sent extra switches with the mouse)

but in most cases its idiot proof 3 or 2 large pins

even cheap homeburner soldering iron can do em

3

coincidentally some fag in a facebook group fucked it up and burnt off the copper on his pcb

so ... yea he fucked it up

3/10 skills in my book are the people who are soon startting to dip into SMD stuff 1 being total idiot who soldered his first resistor last week and burned it and 10 being the guys who hand-solder finepitch DFN/QFN/WLSCP stuff blindfolded

10 being also those guys who deadbug those same chips

1 is the person who uses a soldering gun and plumbing solder

i'm not sure if a homeburner soldering iron is a good idea either

those are usually not temperature controller

and 500 °C will fuck up your PCB real quick

alternatively you can be like this person

and use a 120V rated iron on 230V

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

someone just suggested to put on WD40 on the switch

there's also contact spray

@Frederica Bernkastel why on earth you would want to remove water from switch ...

or is this the meme "lubricate your switches to prevent doubleclick"

that

and people think WD40 is lubricant

tho >facebook< why havent you deleted that shit years ago

yes i know

well i'm just gonna try out my mouse for a bit. after opening it up i don't think there's anything wrong apparent

it does lose clicks when dragging sometimes

fuck!!

it does doubleclick lol

time to switch switch then

>It can be fixed by applying a thin layer of epoxy such as gorilla glue to the hammer.

ey i can do this

i'll do this first

yea na fuck that switch is fucked

well, i did it, but i'm pretty bad at soldering

well only way to get better at it = do it more often

i never actually properly learned how, just from doing it very rarely. just heat that lead up and drop it on the pcb awkwardly

(don't do it that way)

heat the pad up

and then apply solder to the pad

i'll watch a video

what's a pad

anyway yea i'm doing it wrong

a pad is the exposed copper on a pcb

ah okay.

https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/c/2/0/a/f/50d498fcce395f600d000001.jpg

that explains why the solder doesn't stick to the pad

because i am not heating the pad

solder won't stick if it's not hot yeah

only the solder

okay

http://hades.mech.northwestern.edu/images/b/bc/Wireinhole_x.gif

you can put a little bit of solder on the tip to make the heat transfer better

wow that's beautiful

your solder probably has some flux inside of it, which is the white smoke you see

it burns off quite quickly

if you apply it to your iron it burns off before you even get to the joint

I've burnt many boards not doing it properly

so you don't really want to see white smoke

because you want to apply the flux and not burn it off

no, the flux always burns off

you just want it to burn off in the right place

it cleans the joint

ok

oh so that's what flux is

i should buy some of this

white smoke is normal

all engineers I worked with just shove the iron into the flux

depends what kind of flux it is

you can use the flux for cleaning your tip too

everyone where i work uses liquid flux and applies it to the joint

how are these specs?

it's a computer!

<:implying:589103384699863050> paying over $300 for a computer

its clearly not a thinkpad, so go ahead and buy a macbook if that's what you want

????

I already have this feature

on my old kobo

thats probably where they got the idea

colored e-ink when?

literally the only think stopping me from buying one

There is limited color e ink already

I've seen 3 color e ink before, black white and one color

I wish e ink wasn't so locked down

I mean the tech itself
It's expensive because one company controls it all

If it had I think there would have been some price fluctuations

I really want an android E-ink with a big screen, but anything with a decent size is $$$$

I don't want it for books

I prefer physical

I want it for mango

Yeah, gotta have a big screen to see it all at once

I've read plenty of mango on my phone, and I don't want to get a dedicated reader just to have a screen that's 1" bigger, it's a waste

But I also can't justify $500 for a 10 inch e reader just for Chinese newspaper comics

Yeah tachiyomi is exclusively what I use for mango

That's why I have a requirement of an *android* e-ink

Because I'm not gonna go back to manually adding shit like some fucking caveman

I don't run into low rez scans on tachiyomi enough for that to be a concern

Catching up on e ink being expensive, even if the patent was lost I don't think there would be much competition either

The market just isn't that big and it's getting smaller by the day with all the people using tablets (which are both cheaper and doing a lot more)

Only ~~faggets~~ people reading a lot or actually caring about having a 'high quality' reading experience go for e ink nowadays

hey fuck you

i like my kindle a lot buddy

That's fine m8

I have an "open source" one

elaborate

Can't remember its name

Oh right

Touch Lux

like, open source from the ground up? or custom firmware or something

I *think* it's custom whatever using a shit ton of open source

But take it with a pinch of salt

i bought a kindle 4/5 NT used

its pretty good

like my physical buttons

the point with it is you can customize it very easily (custom apps & shit) and it doesn't really care about locking you into proprietary format

Also physical buttons

(but also touch screen at the same time)

And kinda cheap, I think I got mine around 80 euromarks

the fact that i can't read epub is annoying but i just convert to epub or azw or whatever the new format is
i got mine for like £20 or something

The main problem is... well it's a hassle to read manga and such

yeah, i read oyasumi punpun on my k4 for some reason

I mainly read manga because I'm a *weeb*

also read junji ito's uzumaki

Sure, whenever I read a *real book*, I like to read it on it

it was eh

But for everything else, it's "meh" at best

Controls are unresponsive, zooming in is a royal PITA, and the DPI is not enough to be comfortable for reading small characters (and that happens a lot)

In the end I bought a Fire 8" HD (replaced my Fire 7 that I bought for 30 euromarks)

I only use this one

I use comicrack, synchronize what I read with my PC

And it just works™
