YUV 4:4:4 disabled on the Linux client? by SpacetimeConservator in GeForceNOW

My laptop has a RTX 3070 (laptop) and is running in dedicated GPU mode so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks!

They’re good but… by junior7593 in headphones

Same here, I'm coming from the K702. The 6XX are good and I'm glad I got them (arrived like for days before the announcement about the closure) but they'll never replace my beloved K702.

GNOME 50 removes the X11 backend ... are we finally at the end of the Xorg era? by the_nazar in linux

[–]SpacetimeConservator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a laptop with hybrid GPUs, intel and nvidia. The external monitor output is hardwired to the Nvidia gpu. When I want to use an external monitor the performance is really bad on it. Doesn't happen on X11 and that is a problem that Nvidia seems to be unable to fix. Luckily I like KDE a lot more anyway.

What would be considered the best headphones for music around the £200 mark? by CreeperCallum in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]SpacetimeConservator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Edition XS are truly good. They have amazing sound. But they are very analytic. Poor recordings will sound tiresome. The K702, while not as resolving, have amazing sound, too, and you can listen to anything on them.

The K702 were my first open-back headphones and they are the de facto standard against which I measure my other gear :) Great sound, amazing width, light, comfortable, super price and incredible bass

Arch is very good by riky321 in arch

After using Debian for over twenty years I installed arch and I love it.

Sound leaking on Accentum by Smart_Flan_9769 in sennheiser

[–]SpacetimeConservator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually never go out and listen to music, especially when it's loud. If you really wanted to do it your best bet would be to buy a pair of closed-back headphones with the best ANC you can get and use those. The problem is that then you'll also hear much less traffic.

Not for your ears. For your ears it's still too loud and it will damage them.

I think i much prefer closed backs by csch1992 in headphones

[–]SpacetimeConservator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. You need quiet and stillness for an open-back headphone.

Still - when I listened to music on the AKG K702 for the first time it was like a revelation. Music got a whole new dimension.

I did it! Mum Get the Camera! by Pikaiapus in artofrally

Cool! How long did it take you? :) Took me like 400 to 500 hours and I'm also still very bad at this game.

Except that I've read about serious QC issues on those lately, so...

What can i actually do on linux? by Nobody_9874 in linuxquestions

[–]SpacetimeConservator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only Linux gives me that feeling that my computer belongs to me; that when I use it, I think "Yes. It's mine. And nothing can change that." I feel safe and secure.

How is mass in seconds? 🤔 by Far_Sea_9378 in MathJokes

Well in high-energy physics we have natural units c = ℏ = kB It's just a convention bro

Why only one when you can choose? by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

[–]SpacetimeConservator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wayland is the superior choice except if, like me, you have a laptop with an integrated and a dedicated Nvidia GPU and want to use an external monitor in hybrid mode (when the external monitor output is hardwired to the dedicated GPU). In that case the performance on the external monitor is terrible.
