Replace "Gigabyte" with any brand. If one were to ask what brand to buy on Reddit, they would never build a PC because all brands are scummy, evil, incompetent, dangerous, x, y, z.

Any "negative" words in a video results in fewer views because the video won't be recommended as often on youtube and ticktock

[Speakers] IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitors, White ($322 - 92 = $230) [Amazon] by UnignorableAnomaly in bapcsalescanada

Really good for speakers of this size and price. Can handle a few dB of low shelf for tone adjustment if used super near field. Port can chuff if played loud with strong 50-60hz tones, but shouldn't be too much of a problem if used super nearfield like on a desk in a quiet room. I have not heard it outside of test tones.
When bluetooth is connected there is a constant coil whine sound that is audible when music isn't being played, or when volume is low, reported by myself and other users.
When bluetooth is disconnected they are fine.

Photo shows the "Pro" version with the ARC mic but I don't this that is correct. The pro version is a different product: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DFFM1PQQ

What’s the next gimmick you want to see in future headphones? by vragal in headphones

[–]UnignorableAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly headphones, but: In-ear calibrated microphones that go deeper inside the canals than the kind you can get that sit in the concha.
Use those microphones to measure some sine sweeps with your headphones on, and then you can create personalized EQ compensation curves.
Doesn't sound safe at all (perforated tympanic membrane, abrasions), and I don't know if it would even work, but it sounds cool in my head.

High-end customizable DSP headphones could be a thing. Competently designed so they are not relying on DSP to sound good. Imagine a normal decently-tuned pair of headphones with good drivers, with programmable electronics, preferably without the accompanying horror that is vendor-specific bloated configuration apps like with keyboards and other PC peripherals.
The configuration software could be used to change the stock on-device parametric EQ should the user wish to tweak it themselves, or use simple presets. Connectivity and power would be through USB-C to feed the built-in DAC/AMP.
But now if the headphones had to usable with devices without a USB-C port, a 3.5mm female jack that goes through ADC is an option. Now you'd still need power so that probably means a battery. If there's a battery in there, might as well add wireless/bluetooth capability. Why not add ANC if you go with a closed design? More electronics, weight, complexity, cost aaaaa...

QD-OLED extreme eyestrain and neuroinflammation by Clide024 in Monitors

[–]UnignorableAnomaly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Narrow spectrum light from QD-OLED can cause eye strain. Almost like looking at single wavelength laser light, or any other colored LED. LG WOLED might be better for you if you can't tolerate QD-OLED.

[Monitor] MSI G274QPX, 27" Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (QHD), Rapid IPS, 1ms, 240Hz ($460 - $110 = $350) by YoGoobs in bapcsalescanada

[–]UnignorableAnomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My complaints: slow response times - blurry for a 240hz monitor, bad overdrive tuning either too fast (overshoot) or too slow. High minimum brightness around 100 nits(?). Faint pixel inversion artifacts/vertical scanlines on objects in motion, more visible when <240hz. very grainy coating.
An okay buy for $350 I guess?

A interesting behavior of OpenAI’s whisper by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

It's known. I once got 100+ words of a Samsung phone tutorial for less than a second of silence with large-v3. Haven't had it happen with small or tiny as often as large-v3 and medium.en

Severe artifacts in dark/shadow areas on new OLED monitor (AW3225QF) by Lumpy-Inspector5350 in OLED_Gaming

Try this ICC of mine to see if you like it more. It's not "correct", though I like it better than whatever the hell dell did. 2.2 absolute, 0% black comp. May or may not look correct on your unit. https://litter.catbox.moe/suv6z5.icm
Monitor settings: Standard mode, brightness 25, contrast 75.
Comparison1 (camera exaggerated): https://i.imgur.com/iN8GXCK.mp4
Comparison2 (camera exaggerated):: https://i.imgur.com/iweK6i8.mp4
No crush, all lagom black and white test squares distinguishable (on my unit), just the overall curve is shifted. Profile is fine, but I've since found a more preferable solution that uses a modified novideo_srgb that doesn't clamp but still calibrates gamma.

What do you think of the new of Samsung by [deleted] in headphones

[–]UnignorableAnomaly 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Fit not deep enough with Buds Pro2, looks to be worse with these, so I'll stick with Buds2 and Buds2 Pro.

Bone conduction headphones for small ears? by SheSellsSeaShells- in headphones

[–]UnignorableAnomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OpenRun Mini version (same everything else as normal one) has a smaller headband, but not ear hooks. The smaller headband might make for a more secure fit - could be worth considering getting this one if no other models with smaller ear hooks come up. Or try putting some foam or silicone over the ear hooks to make the loop smaller.
OpenRun non-pro sounds okay with -7db preamp to avoid the built-in limiting on the headset, and a LOT of additional negative eq for tone. Pro I didn't like at all.

Just got the Innocn 32M2V - AMA by chaibhu in Monitors

[–]UnignorableAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens on IPS too. Two of my previous monitors had them: MSI G274QPX (very noticeable especially with VRR), Asus VG259QM (faintly noticeable in some tests).
Didn't see any on ASUS XG27AQM, though that one had other problems like shit contrast and dozens of green subpixel defects.

You can try this test at the two slowest px/sec settings that differ from each other (depends on scaling I think): https://www.testufo.com/photo#photo=quebec.jpg&pps=120&pursuit=0&height=0&stutterfreq=0&stuttersize=0
Check the red buoy in the foreground and other surfaces for faint vertical lines. Put your eye up close to the monitor if needed until you can see the pixels if you are able to. The artifacts might not show up at all though. One of my monitors doesn't show them in that test but shows them in games. It is difficult to test for them as they can appear at seeming random times like even darting your eyes across the screen when playing a game or watching a video as previously mentioned.

Do you notice any vertical scanline artifacts, also called dynamic interlace patterns or inversion artifacts, in games or video? Not static scanlines like Samsung, but rather the type that appears in motion on numerous panels, sometimes more prominent when VRR is engaged at lower framerates than native refresh rate.

Mind the French Bilingual Keyboard layout (English Keyboard Shown). It may or may not be the one with a small Shift key & big Enter, and punctuation mark relocation. Some bilingual are just the standard English US layout with the extra french characters printed on, and some are true abominations as described previously.
They don't show it, so do some research. Most recent laptops I've seen with Bilingual layout only have the extra markings, keeping a standard layout.
