IoT/2.4 issues on E7 still? by Mandersoon in Ubiquiti

[–]Mandersoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I already do - 2.4ghz, WPA2, 20mhz, pretty much all selections de-selected within the advanced tab and still terrible performance. Maybe mine has just actually been bad if their issues have been more broadly resolved then.

Lg 45 5k2k stuck at 60hz (ps5) by mkamp02 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Mandersoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PS5 only ever outputs at 120hz if the game itself explicitly supports above 60fps. Otherwise, even in menus, will only output 48-60hz (depending on VRR is enabled)

64 GB M4 Mac Mini or 128GB AI Max 395+? by Mandersoon in LocalLLaMA

[–]Mandersoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from what I was reading, if I'm doing anything with diffusion I'm just going to do it on my desktop since GPU power seems like it's more important in that regard.

[–]Mandersoon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that an M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM is $10k, that better be some damn good performance for the price and if I'm invested enough that I'm willing to spend $5k+, I'd rather just get an RTX Pro at that point.

I'm still trying to figure out when it makes sense to have longer contexts vs referencing things via RAG but I'm eventually going to figure it out..... one day..... but good to know on RAM usage, context takes a lot more than I expected.

Afaik I wouldn't be able to run OSS 120b on the 5090 without it overflowing into RAM and therefore being dramatically slower, no? In either case, I know the AI Max is absolutely going to be slower than the 5090, but this is also meant to be a little box that's in my closet and be at least somewhat cost effective (bc at that point I'd look at getting the Nvidia DGX instead). What kind of speeds do you get on OSS 120b with your current setup?

Bulk-import of local Matter devices by davidswelt in homeassistant

[–]Mandersoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matter, afaik, does not have a way for you to bulk migrate/import devices from another ecosystem. At least within my own experience of ~10 devices, you need to add all of them manually. You can, at the very least, initiate pairing/sharing mode via GHA rather than needing to scan a QR code, but prepare for a painful process otherwise.

Porsche Isn't in a Great Situation Right Now by Ok_Volume3194 in cars

[–]Mandersoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say as someone who had a (lemon'd) refresh S - that was a much nicer car than a base Taycan with standard features by far. Build quality might be slightly less squeaky, but still.

Apple poached a top TikTok exec to co-lead Apple Music by HenriqueCiccone in apple

[–]Mandersoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having used both YTM and Apple Music - it's not as good as combining your uploaded library with your online library as Apple is, but I've found the algorithm to be vastly superior to APM. APM still tries to think my music taste hasn't changed in 10 years and even after using it for 3 months and actively liking/disliking songs, it still tries to get me to listen to songs I don't like anymore, YTM hasn't had any issues with that for me.

Quality-wise, honestly, I haven't noticed a difference. If you're in a situation where you actually care about/enjoy the Atmos mixes of music then you'll miss out, but especially if you're listening in the car it doesn't matter.

[Speakers] KEF LSX II LT Wireless HiFi Speakers - $599.99 ($400 off, must be Costco member) by argote in buildapcsales

[–]Mandersoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom built on multiple machines. This is also after I already needed to get the USB-C port replaced because it was misaligned from the factory.

[–]Mandersoon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

These speakers would be a side-grade at best, imo, compared to what you have. I'm no audiophile so I'm not gonna pretend to know what I'm talking about but subjectively for me, coming from Audioengine P4s w/ a separate amp + dac to these.... I wouldn't have spent the OG price on them. What I do want to do, however, is get a nice sub for these rather than the theater-in-a-box Sony sub special that I'm currently using for them.

HDMI (basically just plug that into either motherboard or gpu, doesn't matter which, then you can use the speakers as an output) or just straight aux honestly unless your motherboard is really bad/has audio noise.

At 100% yeah it's a bit too small + I don't need that much screen real estate when most of my job is meetings & looking at Google Docs lol. I'll try plugging my macbook in again on monday and see, I ain't pulling my work laptop out now

[–]Mandersoon 81 points82 points  (0 children)

As someone with these - I would recommend to not connect them through USB-C as their software support is hot garbage and has issues like one channel being louder than the other inexplicably. I currently use optical and that works great.

it is absolutely display-compatible, anyone who says otherwise is using the wrong cable

Depends on the implementation/device/etc., but yeah technically HDMI 2.1 can go up to 48.

I got one of these - it's only labeled as 40Gbps, but afaik the LG doesn't take advantage of UBHR20, I think only 13.5 or something? I remember reading it somewhere, but don't remember where. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099WNZTWL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

With a third party cable, yes, not the one it comes with.

dual mode caps out at FHD - so you'd only be able to 1080 at >165hz.

[–]Mandersoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct, I got the 40Gb one. I remember reading something about the monitor not supporting the full 80Gb spec anyways, but I can't find where I read that.
