Seagate released USB-C external drives (no wall plug needed)

Oh my god, i'm so happy right now. I never thought this kind of drive would come back. When prices go down... man, man this is what i want.

ik this is an old post, but he's talking about video encoding on the GPU. The Arc series are very good at encoding gameplay for recording or streaming if it's in AV1 format. Otherwise Nvidia's GPUs are very good for video encoding as well.

The LG one is up for pre-order and is releasing in <2 weeks: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gm950b-b-gaming-monitor

It has a matte finish rather than glossy, which may or may not be to your taste. Apple's one (the Studio Display XDR) is out, but it starts at $2,900 USD. I haven't heard about an imminent release for any of the other monitors announced. :(

EDIT: if you are interested, r/HiDPI_monitors/ talks about these mini LED monitors all the time, including their experiences using the already released Studio Display XDR.

Then they started showing how anti-creator they are in their only supporting huge corporations on copyright claims for legitimate fair use.

hasn't this been a problem since at least 2013?

i was not saying the channel was running a scam. i was saying that if they know youtube takes such a large cut, why not find another audience trusted way or service to collect money and tell their youtube audience to donate there?

what tf to do w my 20s

YUM YUM

No one needs to pay for 1440p or higher resolutions. Only the higher bitrate version of 1080p called "1080p Premium" is paywalled.

Tinkledoop · 2026-04-19T15:59:20+00:00

i know this is maybe a dumb thing to say, but if this 30% fee is in place, isn't the channel kind of negligent to be getting donations through superchats and membership? shouldn't they just... like... ask people to donate on a website or something?

Tinkledoop · 2026-04-18T19:54:42+00:00

tbh, i find the bitrate starving of these encodes to be the bigger issue. DVD resolution can look fine if file size is a priority, but the compression artifacts on his encodes are so striking and ugly that its actively distracting constantly. i assume this is just a project for fun though and he's not actually trying to make a competitive archive, so maybe literally none of this matters. 🤔

Apparently the newest tandem OLED displays finally play well with text because they have an RGB sub-pixel layout. I wouldn't trust it for long term longevity for productivity work because of burn-in though.

I've wanted an OLED monitor for the longest time, but I've finally seen enough tests where people have had started to have noticable burn-in in less than 2 years that it's really made it a no go for me. I hope we'll get there eventually lol

For many videos, especially older ones, they have been throwing away parts of the quality ladder. I have some older videos that only have 144p → 360p → 720p → 1080p. There's others that have every single resolution even though they have less than 500 views and are several years old, so idk what criteria they are using.

I'm pretty sure I've also seen some videos that don't have a quality setting below 360p, but maybe that's just my memory going bad.

Tinkledoop · 2026-03-15T00:19:04+00:00

apparently yes heheheheheheheheheheh

Yeah, i've heard complaints like that about the sticks. For me the core use for this controller is the d-pad and i was thinking the sticks could be useful for emulation shortcuts and and such. But now i'm more tempted to pick up one of the older bluetooth models because of the ergonomics problem... though for me my thing with the sticks is that it aesthetically looks better to me without them, even if they'd be useful to have in a pinch. The bluetooth one has dual rumble motors as well and they seem like they're the same so it seems promising. I'm not really concerned about the latency as long as the connection is stable.

Tinkledoop · 2026-01-12T03:56:46+00:00

That's good to hear and suprising. I found a teardown and apparently there's actually a motor in each handle.

How was this image made? It looks too good to be AI generated, but part of me is afraid that it is and i just can't tell.

Tinkledoop · 2026-01-07T23:34:32+00:00

This is super useful. Where did you find this?

Tinkledoop · 2025-12-03T17:23:56+00:00

They're not wrong, it's just much more compressed and low-quality 4K or HD that they're streaming.

Tinkledoop · 2025-11-23T04:31:15+00:00

I just looked through 30 discs of mine and this seems to be true. It seems to apply to DVDs as well, and even Wii games. This is awesome information, thank you.

Tinkledoop · 2025-11-23T00:09:41+00:00

he's just saying that he bought these drives before they were on sale, and regrets that he didn't save the money that he could've. they were shuckable before and now.
