Lenovo's shitty stock has kinda forced my hand and I'm likely gonna get a T14 G3 AMD for university. Basically fully loaded aside from a smart card reader (lol) and SSD (easy to upgrade...not spending $700 for a 1TB drive lmao). Would've liked to pick the low-power panel but they don't list it as an option strangely enough so I'll "sacrifice" and get the 4k panel. Will be awesome for film edits if I ever find time for that. Totals to just shy of $2k CAD with the 50% discount seemingly constantly available. Phew. Painful for someone used to $500 used shitbox-esque laptops lmao. Will be a change to care about a laptop for once!
I supposed the difference to a T14s isn't that big...really just a couple Wh of battery capacity that edges the T14s out slightly in my eyes. But it wouldn't ship until the end of the year, and the in-stock models on Ebay all have some catch. Pass. Thought about an X13 but tried the T14 at a store and the shrunken bezels really bring the machine to a nicer size than I remember 14" machines being, so that kinda ruled it out in my book. I don't know if I could manage a 13" display as my only machine for a while.

Disclaimer: have not used them in a while, most of what I say likely still applies but improvements have likely been made, they seem to constantly be doing so. Dirt cheap boards, good quality. Have had a shitload of 5-run prototypes that came out great as well as a 100-run (x3) for a keyboard group buy and only had one dead board out of all those. SMD assembly is good though the configurator leaves a bit to be desired, or at least it did when I last used it a while ago. Parts selection could also be better but again, [disclaimer]. I had them resin print some small things twice and both turned out extremely well even though I did not CAD them at all with the intention of being easy to print. The prints were similarly cheap. Overall I've been extremely satisfied with all their work and will simp for them to no end. That being said, I am not aware/informed of any potential controversies they may have outside of the work provided, so maybe make sure there isn't anything alarming there (I doubt there will be tbh). ETA: SMD configurator, editor, whatever. If you've used it, you know what I'm referring to, and where its weaknesses lie.

My bad, I do agree with you, I just thought you were suggesting that to somehow prove me wrong, not support the point of using a terminal. I think the issue with suggesting non-terminal ways to get some specific action done in Linux is it varies vastly across different systems. If you have one person running Arch with KDE and another running Ubuntu with its default DE, you can't suggest the same nested menus to accomplish something, but chances are you can suggest an identical or similar command that'll work on both systems.

Sooooo....exactly the same as a Linux terminal? lol

This is usually nearly identical syntax to installing new packages (or removing existing, or upgrading individual, etc etc). It all happens within one CLI-based program. For instance, if I wanted to upgrade my entire system, I just type: yay To install a new package(s): yay -S package_name other_package_name To remove them: yay -R package_name etc. I mean, at most you're looking up the package name. You have to do that with Windows too, except you're Googling for the website itself, then the download page, then installing it manually. That being said, I find most package names on Linux are pretty intuitive and often nearly identical to program names (with minor variations like hyphens instead of spaces). I think the exception to this are any distros using apt for package management, or AUR packages without a helper (like yay in the commands above). Having to add repositories (Ubuntu) can be clunky and having to essentially manually build packages (AUR sans helper) can be difficult too. But ultimately both follow the same syntax, just with different names or whatever. It's faster than having to live in a constant state of Windows search, nothing, shit that opened Edge, close edge, search again, ok settings, shit it's not in settings, search again, control panel, search again, shit not there either, search again, open Chrome, search how to do action, oh it's in this menu, repeat.

Was watching the 15" Air release video (missed WWDC) and noticed something curious. Immediately after boasting about it being fanless, they show this exploded view:
Is that not an exploded MBP? With two extremely obvious fans? And I thought it could've been speakers, but if you look at the board above, you can see heatsinks and heatpipes like on an MBP. Hilarious oversight.

The MacBook Air has air cooling. The MacBook Pro has pro cooling, that's really the main difference.

I use Arch btw. Have I not made that abundantly clear? Maybe I should say it more.

Finished Echoes of the Eye! Very nice DLC, though two things I wish I had done differently (no spoilers):
1. Played it alongside the main game just so I could have the extra story and lore while experiencing the base game for the first time.
2. This wasn't really my fault, but the main "holy shit" moment of the DLC was somewhat spoiled by watching a recap of the base game ending on YouTube to better understand lore and stuff. If you've played both the base game and DLC, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Lol seems Google Photos embeds are STILL broken. It's been literally years. Every other website and even things like Discord have it figured out, but not this forum

First enlargement was a success (though I did learn a looooooot from primarily one huge brain fart):
Spoiler
Yes, I know I wasted a lot of space. I had calculated exposure through test strips to a print this size, and honestly wasn't sure if enlarging the print further would change exposure. Didn't want to cut up another piece of paper into test strips, and I was just really antsy to get a full print lol.
The huge brain fart was not knowing that overexposure manifests itself as black. I suppose it makes sense in hindsight, but when my test strips looked like this, I was baffled as to how the longer-exposed sectiosn were all black (I slid a piece of cardboard left to right, adding 2s each time, for all but the final strip):
Spoiler
Was loads of fun, that's for sure. Wish I had a slightly longer lens cause basically all of my actually good BW work is on medium format, and a 50mm almost certainly won't cut it. I do have a couple other 35mm shots I would be happy to enlarge, but one of them (the first test strip, actually) I was a huge fucking moron with and scratched the negative a ton pulling it through the film holder...anyways, not until the weekend. Takes a fairly long time to set up and clean up, given I'm doing it all in my fairly tight bathroom. I'm literally using a folding drying rack to hold my developing trays cause I have no counter space for anything but the enlarger, timer, safelight, and some small bits like scissors lmao.

In the darkroom I work in we usally do 5 secounds and usally around the first two.
Yeah I had no clue what numbers I was gonna be at. Turned out that two seconds was it but I tested all the way up to like twenty.
But I learned, and future prints I'll probably only test up to like 5 seconds. Even that might be a bit much, but might as well.

Damn, Outer Wilds was really fucking good. I'll probably buy the DLC and play it over the weekend (I'm assuming that, being DLC, it takes less time than the main game, which took me around 20 hours to get through).
-
It is really nice having a PC I can actually play modern games on at good framerates and settings. As much as I loved my little room heater Xeon, even with the Vega it just wasn't cutting it for 1440p. Been playing through Outer Wilds the last couple days and really enjoying it, even if I'm slowly running into the same roadblock with all other story games where I feel this need to 100% it and leave no stone unturned, and yet don't really know where to go next. Ok, well, I do have an idea of literally where to go next. But it is a bit too open for me really dig in and play for hours on end.

My window seal is leaky af and my bed covers most of the vent. My room is also on the second floor. So yeah, it gets very hot, very fast if it's >25c or so outside. Hell even if it's near freezing, with my window and door closed, 20 mins of heavy load brings the room to 30c. Vegas are notorious for spitting out loads of heat and mine is absolutely no exception.
Good times. Reminds me of my f@h days.

I use F@h for heating specific rooms in the winter. Right now I've got a 2070 Super and a 1080 running F@h in my home office, and that's about as much as I can keep running in there without keeping the air conditioner on all the time. As it gets warmer out I'll have to cut back to just one GPU in the office. I like folding, but I hate doing it in the summer.

Yeah I might do it again this upcoming winter. Depends how dorm heating is I guess.

Oh yeah I guess I got into photography (mostly film) and I've shat out a few ok ones

Does anyone even use these anymore

Yeah just barely. I was sick of the forum and in a very bad spot until just a month or two ago. Good to see you too.

Same to you. Much has changed. Most neutral, unfortunate amount of bad, but decent bit of good too. Not ready to discuss it publicly (just personal stuff mainly) and it certainly wouldn't fit in a status update reply.
Completely understood. Glad to hear you're still around.

Hi, long time no see lol. I have an Inwin P85 and notice it gets fairly noisy under heavy CPU and GPU load. I doubt it's being pushed too hard (850w for a Vega 56 and Ryzen 3700x should be like 50% load, I'd guess) but the fan ramps up and is noticeably louder than all the other fans in my PC combined. It's rather annoying with open back headphones, especially as it keeps ramping up and down instead of just a constant noise. I'm wondering if there is any way to control the fan speed or if anyone has experience with this PSU. I could potentially swap the fan but I hesitate to open a PSU still under warranty, and that's assuming I would be able to replace what Inwin says is a 135mm fan with an unknown connector and interface. Would appreciate advice, thanks!
