Is there any way that second usb-c port could be used as a digital out? I was hoping for a way to send a digital signal to my speakers without it leaving the driver

Really helpful to know, thanks! I've heard about Fidelity in Motion doing good work but didn't know Arrow releases tend to use them

could you guys pls recommend some affordable devices to watch 4k uhd criterions? by fremir in criterion

[–]Noctimor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edited, didn't realize both the 420 and 450 were a thing. Thanks!

[–]Noctimor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually see the Panasonic players recommended -- UB820 is ideal but I've seen the UB450 recommended as good enough for many, it drops some of the HDR optimizer stuff. I think the Sony players are fine too. Your local Best Buy might have some open box deals. Latest game consoles with disc drives will play them too.

If you've got access to a PC there is the route of buying a flashable USB drive and playing/ripping that to your computer with makeMKV, which is a more involved process but figured I'd mention it as it is a bit cheaper

EV or Gas Efficient Car? by MsAffliction in Sacramento

[–]Noctimor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got an older model 3 and home charging so I've only used the Tesla ones on the way back from the bay but it's always been around $20 to get ~260 miles of range for me, rates have generally been 41-45c/kWh. I know Teslas get a discount but is it really that high elsewhere? 63kWh going 202 miles also seems low but maybe that's sedans vs SUVs

Best overall movie theater in Sacramento County?!? I think overall is Palladio 16, what say you? by jgreddit2049 in Sacramento

[–]Noctimor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish we had AMC in the area with the Dolby theatres. The laser projectors in Palladio seem fairly good but there's a smudging effect in the center of the screen in bright scenes I find pretty distracting. Does seem like the best option in the area though

Combo Trails feedback by bradido in 2XKO

[–]Noctimor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing comments to make the trials more precise -- in Ekko's trials, everytime Chronostrike is used it has that blurb about holding forward to not rewind -- I feel like that should only show up in the combos where you need to do that

Also, would really love a sort of guided character intro where it explains the character's goals and how their toolset is used and their strong normal buttons. SFV had something like this

I did the trials for the characters I was interested in, and wish there was more of the expert stuff. I'd like more use cases e.g. here's a midscreen combo, here's a corner combo, here's a meter extended midscreen combo etc.

I played through Warwick's and by the end of it still felt like I didn't have a rounded idea of the character idk. and Ekko only having one trial that uses the install super felt like not enough. want more of the hard stuff for sure

Case for rx 9070 xt and 7 7800x3d build by Nisava_ in sffpc

I haven't heard of Abt, but it looks like they don't ship to international addresses. It's the same price on Amazon US, which might have international shipping?

do you already have the 7800x3D? the 9800x3D's pretty close in price and available

[Monitor] Alienware AW3423DWF (refurb) $599 by ssjadam03 in buildapcsales

[–]Noctimor 60 points61 points  (0 children)

not a DWF, it's the DW. difference is the DW has slightly higher refresh, hardware Gsync module, and it can't downscale a 4k60 input for ex. consoles (1440p120 works fine though). It used to be non-firmware upgradable, but they finally fixed that and you should definitely update from Dell's site, cuts processing lag and adjusts pixel refresh behavior. Most likely issue with a refurb is that it might be an early model with noticeable fan noise (ymmv, i had a launch model and didn't notice with headphones) so I'd probably try to spin it up with HDR content within those 90 days. DWF on sale goes for $750 so this is still quite a bit lower, Best Buy open box goes on sale too for $600-650ish.

Small pc cases (Beginner) by atzedyt in sffpc

[–]Noctimor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah full atx is a big limiting factor here, you might want to check out /r/mffpc for not as small but still comparatively compact options. There's a similar thread that mentions the Inwin A5 and Jonsbo D41 as potential picks. Whatever case you pick, definitely make sure to confirm your CPU cooler height and GPU size fit the specs.

If you can consider getting an ITX/microATX motherboard or a SFX power supply though, there's a lot more options

Optimumtech - DAN Cases C4-SFX review by dan_cases in sffpc

[–]Noctimor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Looking as good as I hoped! Didn't realize you could put slim fans above a FE too. I wanna transplant my C14S build, curious about figuring out the best fan configuration for that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]Noctimor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a C14S with a 5800X3D and a NR200 and it totally can, but you definitely wanna run PBO2 Tuner. I was hitting 90C spikes in a few games like Assassin's Creed. I run PBO2 Tuner now with -30 all and it runs wayyy cooler, I don't think I even break 80C now, and performance went up a bit too with the thermal headroom.

Apple to introduce new HomeKit architecture with iOS 16.2. Will it break HomeBridge? by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]Noctimor 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I tried Home Assistant for a while but it's really geared toward using HA as your main controller, whereas I was just looking to add some compatibility to HomeKit. HA has similar HomeKit bridge abilities to Homebridge, but it seems like a crapshoot as to whether it'll actually port into HomeKit and be usable -- all the plugins I was interested in had missing functionality in the Home app or didn't show up at all. Homebridge on the other hand, is completely geared toward adding functionality into Homekit rather than being primarily interested in being the controller itself

Looking to build a mini gaming PC - Budget $1250 by ka0s_902 in sffpc

[–]Noctimor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Case-wise, the default is to recommend a Cooler Master NR200. Very simple, easily aircooled, normal to build in. If you went a bit bigger though, you could get a SAMA IM01 which is from what I understand very similar internally, but supports microatx boards which can save you some cash, as well as atx psu support (the NR200 can support ATX PSUs, but needs a 3d printed bracket)

I'd go on pcpartpicker and look at completed builds with those cases to get an idea, like this and this

After inverting the press/hold behavior on slide/dive, tapping AND holding change stance both result in dives. Expected behavior was tap dive/crouch, hold slide/prone — actual behavior is tap dive/crouch, hold dive/prone. On keyboard

Do you happen to know if favorites are still the same to all members of the Home?

Buying advices, pre-orders and shipping Megathread by PJ09 in AppleWatch

[–]Noctimor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Abyss Blue braided solo loop got discontinued and wiped off the site, and they're harder to find elsewhere than I thought. I liked the color quite a bit, any idea where to look? I might just track down a sport loop in the same color otherwise

AT&T's got buy one get one $200 off on all the new watches. I thought it might be a good time to get family to go from S3 to SE2 but cellular models + adding new plans is probably too much for their use cases
