    Maybe you can look at what exists on the used marked? Or if anyone you know have some speakers they dont use/are getting rid of?

    Mihle got a reaction from AI_Must_Di3 in 24" monitor suggestions?   
    Not all IPS monitors have backlight bleed, mine does not and is very even across the panel, but it's not a low end one at all. It can be a gamble if you have it or not tho.
     
    TN do have worse colour accuracy.

    Mihle got a reaction from Hellowpplz in Ai upscaling   
    Personally I think the text on the original is easier to read correctly than any of the upscaled ones. (When it comes to the GPU names and numbers) Making the upscaling in my opinion pointless for the specific task given.

    Mihle reacted to Alex Atkin UK in Are all software/scheduling issues with e-cores fixed on Intel 12th to 14th Gen - Willing to give hybrid ach a chance now   
    Which is why you don't get a dual CCD for gaming.
     
    If you're going to the trouble of disabling HT and E-cores then you're killing the extra performance and might as well have gone 7800X3D as the extra cache does wonders for those 1% lows.
     
    Will we need more than 8 cores in future games?  We don't have a crystal ball so we simply don't know.  But in theory DirectStorage will offload asset decompression from the CPU at some point, like the consoles do with their dedicated SSD controllers, so probably not any time soon.

    Mihle got a reaction from Blasty Blosty in How Big and Fast do you think GPU's and CPU's would be in the future?   
    I think we are closer to stagnating when it comes to CPUs than we are on GPUs.
     
    But there will always be improvements to me made, we might see more specialised parts that do just some things but do them very fast. For example RT cores or some of what apple have been doing with M1.

    Mihle reacted to TetraSky in AliExpress.com vs. Wish.com which one is better for buying PC Parts   
    Neither. You'll often end up paying near the same price or more as you would ordering off amazon or some other store that sells pc parts, while taking the chance of either not getting your item or getting a knockoff.
     
    Buy used locally if you want to save a buck.

    Mihle reacted to aisle9 in Why are TN display panels so expensive and a niche market?   
    When the actual f*ck did TN become desirable?!?!?! I've always known TN panels as the, "Hey, we had to cut costs everywhere," of the laptop display world.

    Mihle reacted to leadeater in Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger: I hope to build chips for Lisa Su and AMD   
    How is this any different to before? TSMC N7 isn't the same as Samsung 7LPP or even TSMC N7P etc etc. Some '7nm" processes use DUV and some use EUV etc
     
    Intel 10nm became Intel 7 because it was most similar to what other industry Fabs were calling their "7nm" processes.
     
    Intel 18A will be similar to whatever TSMC calls theirs which will be whatever they decide it is. The reason to moving to different naming is N1.8 or 1.8LPP etc just sounds and looks bad. It's "just a name" as was everything since like 45nm.
     
    Not so much anymore or for a while, that's been diverging away from being comparable to the "nm number" for a while now. TSMC N3 may be nothing at all equivalent to actual 3nm if that were possible.

    I think Clipchamp is the closest you get when it comes to programs made by Microsoft.
     
    As of more capable, maybe too capable alternatives from other companies, there is the free version of Davinci resolve.

    Mihle reacted to Eigenvektor in How to get back into gaming   
    There's no simple answer to this. it will depend on who you are and what type of games you're into.
     
    And the types of games you were into in the past simply might not fit you anymore.
     
    The best I can offer is: find games that genuinely interest you. Maybe look at games you didn't consider in the past, but might actually suit you these days.

    Mihle reacted to dogelition in Why do studios use reference displays and Monitors.   
    Note that people generally prefer speakers with an (anechoically) flat frequency response. Quoting researcher Floyd Toole here:
    (headphones are a different can of worms and never target a flat raw frequency response)
     
    There is nothing dull about reference displays. There are standards (BT.709 for SDR, BT.2100 for HDR) that basically define how RGB signals should be mapped to display output. The goal of a reference display is to track these standards as accurately as possible, within physical limitations (as neither the full gamut nor luminance of HDR can be achieved with any current display technology). Any reasonably good modern TV has a mode that at least attempts to display colors according to these standards, instead of oversaturating and overbrightening everything to look "better". So the only way you're getting a close match between what a colorist in Hollywood sees on their display and what you see on your TV at home is by following these standards. Of course, if your own subjective preference is to have a picture that is more saturated or bright than intended, then you can tweak your TV's settings as you like instead.
     
    Also, more people have accurate displays than you'd think. As tested in this video, iPhones actually have incredibly accurate displays that rival reference monitors.

    Mihle got a reaction from Eigenvektor in Confusion over power input over charging jack and usb-type c   
    Yes, the USB C charger needs to support USB PD and 20v. 
    Wattage isn't that important for it to work, it should still work, just slower speed if it's lower watt, and no benefit of it's higher.

    A VM is a machine running an OS like any other, so just as it's pretty terrible to run an OS from an HDD on a real machine it'll be the same for a VM.

    i think this man has been around big numbers he forgot their meaning..
     
    SpaceX quoted their first generation of falcon 9 rockets to have cost 300 million to develop
    NASA quoted that if they had developed such a platform using their own strategies, it would have been in the 3.6 billion category
    SpaceX estimates that starship will cost between 5-10 billion to develop
    nvidia spends 7.34 billion on R&D each year
     
    so.. what this man is suggesting, is that his endavour will cost the same as:
    - nvidia funding their R&D for the coming 950 years
    - spacex developing starship, estimating they double their original budget at 20billion
    - NASA copying SpaceX's homework and making a falcon bureaucracy edition.
    - still have enough money left over for spaceX to throw away and re-invent falcon 9 not once, not twice, but 11 times.
     
    please.. someone quote me to tell me that the order of magnitude got lost in translation somewhere...

    When it comes to mains voltage, soldering two wires together is actually even more of a no go when it comes to electrician house work. 
     
    Solder doesn't conduct electricity as well as copper or aluminium does, and can be less consistent/hard to see how good the connection actually is. Harder to redo or change later. And takes more time to do.
     
    For non mains, low power, or the device end its a different situation tho.
     
    The *ideal* is to avoid splits or connections whenever you can,cable too short? Replace the whole cable and not cut and splice it. I know it isn't always possible.

    Mihle reacted to Eigenvektor in How useful is a reverse proxy?   
    Sure... but why would you do this?
     
    You'd then have to explain to your users why they need to use https://domain.com  and https://domain.com:444 rather than simply https://domain.com  and https://sub.domain.com.
     
    There no good reason not to use a reverse proxy with virtual hosts for that use case.
     
    Plus you know there's one endpoint every request has to go through. So you don't have to worry as much about potential shoddy HTTPS implementation (or lack thereoff) in the services running behind the proxy.
