sub68 reacted to ThatOwlyBoy in Show off Your Setup! (Rev.2)
I've seen better cable management but I have certainly seen worse.
Specs and stuff:
AMD 5900x Asus ROG Strix x570-E Gaming Gigabte RTx 3080 Gaming OC 10G 32GB Patriot Viper DDR4 Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L NZXT H510 1TB samsung 970 EVO Plus 6TB total of spinning rust Elgato 4k60 Pro Mk2 27" Gigabyte 1440p 170Hz monitor 24" Acer secondary monitor XP Pen Artist Pro 15.6 AKG K702 headphones Rode NT1A that runs into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen2 Also featured is my Switch, Valve Index, one of my cameras, a couple of fountain pens and a doodle.
The work setup:
To be honest I do not want to list out EVERYTHING since there is a lot of stuff. Also I have spent some time this year drastically streamlining the setup for better single-operator use since it's typically just me having to look after the place solo.
Some of the standout bits and bobs though:
Yamaha QL5 4x Blackmagic Studio cameras Various bits of rack mounted Blackmagic hardware include ATEM switches and Videohubs Blackmagic ATEM 1M/E Advanced Panel Not enough Stream Decks that I use Bitfocus Companion with A LOT of lights, most of which can be controlled by DMX A bunch of other stuff.... There's a lot I can talk at length about broadcast kit so I am MORE than happy to answer questions on it. If money was no object, I would love an Ultimatte to include in the setup somewhere for experimenting with more virtual set stuff. The ATEM switch does have keying tools but more toys are always cool.

It staggers me how far we've come with IEMs/earphones.
Picked these up for $44 (usually $50~55), during the recent aliexpress sale.
They have 14.2mm planar magnetic drivers, and while fit and finish is a bit rough, the cable they come with is a beautiful silver plated copper braided cable, and is replacable/non-proprietary (4.4mm TRRRS jack, but also available as a normal 3.5mm TRS).
It's got a W-shaped curve tune, which I find a bit intense at higher volumes, but is generally very well done. If you're a bass head, give it a bit more sub bass on an EQ (or turn on a bass boost), and it'll punch very hard and fast, just like any good planar does. Just an incredibly detailed, energetic sound. Especially if your hearing's getting a little weaker, I think these'll let you hear frequencies you haven't in a while.
Bloody hell, you used to have to pay in the $600~1000 for this kind of sound, only half a decade or so ago.
And they're easy to drive, almost anything should be able to, although they do get better with more power.
Oh, they're called the Artti T10. The tips they come with aren't great, I like Acoustune AET06, which you can also get on Ali.

sub68 reacted to da na in Show off your old and retro computer parts
Brought along an old friend while traveling for a few days.
Excuse the poor quality photos, my phone camera is truly horrendous.
This was the first 'retro' system I picked up three years or so ago. Had a rather bad CPU but a decent Gigabyte motherboard and RAM, so I stuck with it. Bought an Athlon 64 x2 6000+ for it 2 years back and that chip is quite the beast.
It ran a GeForce 6800 for most of its time with me until recently, when I acquired a new-old-stock Quadro FX 1800. It's still very surreal seeing a card of this era still pristinely shiny and free of dust and scratches.
GPU still has under 24 hours of use but that's about to change tomorrow.

sub68 reacted to leadeater in Student arrested after sending private joke over snapchat before boarding a plane, message was viewed by security as he was connected to public Wi-Fi
The Airport put out an official statement saying they have no such capability, and that is true. Basically none of them do. Public free wifi can't do that unless they are doing something any device will literally warn about and give you many security messages stating that you have to do/allow something otherwise no HTPPS connections will work.
They can block yes, snoop on HTTPS (basically everything now days) no.

Hey all, as a bunch of you have requested, here's a BoM for the the final version of the Deej controller that we show in the video. I've picked examples that are on the low end of the price scale, but I'd always encourage shopping around for the best deal!
More instructions can be found on the Deej project page at https://github.com/omriharel/deej with the table of contents starting here: https://github.com/omriharel/deej?tab=readme-ov-file#table-of-contents
Deej also has an active discord server full of very helpful folks here: https://discord.gg/nf88NJu
With that out of the way, here's what we used:
Enclosure - STL files are on the OP - note that the opening for the USB jack was designed pretty tight and not all cables will fit. You might want to tweak the model to give a little more room, or sand it down a little after printing. We used about 250g of Prusament PLA Prusa Galaxy Black https://lmg.gg/NlhQu
Microcontroller - Generic Arduino 'pro micro' clone based on the ATMEGA32U4. There's still a ton of out there with USB micro jacks on them, so search for "TYPE-C ATMEGA32U4"
Should look like this, though colors vary:
Examples
eBay: https://ebay.us/EUvhmJ
AliExpress: https://lmg.gg/Ljtk6
Wiring - Any sort of hookup wire is fine, but Dupont style jumper wires are a nice option. Buy a mixed pack and you'll have plenty of wires for this and future projects! Search for: "Dupont Jumper"
Example: https://geni.us/TUDhou
Potentiometers - We used B10K pots that come on their own little boards for easy mounting. It can be tricky to find a good price on these, so take your time when searching! Search for: "B10K potentiometer slider"
Examples
eBay: (10K Linear Slide Potentiometer) https://ebay.us/CFbOG2
AliExpress: (Single Sliding 10k) https://lmg.gg/tXR1z

They should absolutely be charged. They don't know it's a joke, they acted, which cost the fees it did.
Only an idiot "jokes" about that in an airport.
Simple case of fuck around and find out.

Airport security isn't going to assume it is "just a teenager making jokes" if there's even the remote chance they could be wrong. There's too much at stake.
Don't joke about performing terrorist acts.

I thought we all knew, by now, 2 things not to do.
1. Joke about blowing stuff up in and around airports and government buildings
2. Use public Wi-Fi
This muppet failed on both.

TSA really isn’t bad at all. I fly way more than the average person. If you know what to do as a person then suddenly TSA are people too and most often you can get them joking with you.
10 years of flying AT LEAST every other week. I’ve never had a major incident with them.
That being said, I’m also the kind of person that can joke their way out of most speeding tickets. Last time I got pulled over they didn’t even take my CC out of the truck.

oops... FAFO. It's the same reason you don't go around yelling bomb in an airport. I think the major takeaway is nothing is private on somebody else's wifi.

Are we still surprised about the global surveillance operations? My guess, a person at the other side reported the message. This dude fucked around and found it imo.

sub68 reacted to Blue4130 in gpu die working or not?
It's such an outdated card, it's really not worth the effort, even if you got a chip for free.
If it holds a special place, reassemble it and put it on a shelf as a display item.

That is a shattered die.
It is not going to work, and there’s no fixing it.

Actually it's pretty adequate if your not doing 4k video editing or you can play newer ish games at lowest res around 30fps.
Ish some do a 4 year cycle.
Most gov institutions have insurance were there cyber stuff needs to be current so they get tons of grant money to do that.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised LMG still builds their "regular office desktops" in-house instead of just buying a fleet of prebuilts every few years.
At work we just refreshed our fleet of Optiplex 7040s with new 13th gen laptops on docks. Our video production and art workstations are standardized on dual socket Precision 7920 towers.
