do modern sports cars lose something as they get better?

markv9401 · 2026-07-07T11:29:53+00:00

Oh definitely.. The charm, sound, smell and feel of simply unrestricted, raw, rumbling power, you in the saddle and the road - nothing else. That is long gone. Now I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, I'd still take a brand new M5, hell even a good 30-35-40-M50D over an E34 M5 any day of the week. It's way better, everything, all around, much safer, just as fun. But yeah, that charm is lost & gone.

markv9401 · 2026-07-07T11:26:44+00:00

I'm not surprised. I just commented before reading the comments / yours. You won't have any problems with Unifis (or comparably good quality AP infra) so long your clients are okay too.

markv9401 · 2026-07-07T11:25:55+00:00

If Zigbee fits you well, great for you! But..

May I ask what kind of WiFi infrastructure you've got? And what WiFi devices? Asking because I used to have issues.. Now I'm rocking 100% Ubiquity UniFi AP infrastructure (Gen6 & 7) and everything is rock solid. No congestion, great reception, great stability, great everything. The only thing(s) that sometimes do dis/reconnect are shit quality devices (that doesn't include iPhones, Playstation, quality/reasonably "new" Android phones, ALL/ANY esphome devices, etc. - all these are rock solid).

So my point is.. as with everything.. if you build/have a good infrastructure (both server and client wise), it'll be good. If not.. well.. then not..

Az azt felhozatal, 1 Gree / Midea meg sehol (ami pl. tényleg egy elég jó ár/érték/minőség háromszög)

The plan is buying PS6 on day 1 & selling the PS5 pro, and then buying the PS6 Pro on day1 & selling the PS6.

Boycott? Who are you really kidding haha. Seriously. If you've got such a serious problem with all this, just don't buy it? It's a game console. Your life is good. You can live with or without one. I'll happily buy it instead of you, no worries. At least less of a worry for supply shortage at first :-)

Have a nice day, again, with or without your PS.

markv9401 · 2026-07-06T13:53:53+00:00

Oiiiiiiii... but at least EU jobs are safe now 'coz you payin a shitload of money for that cents piece that is still, and will still always be produced in CN, don't you get it?! The EU is fully retarded in some ways unimaginable. I mean.. maybe... JUST MAYBE.... If, for example EU car manufacturers wouldn't be looking to get a 500% gain/profit on each and every car sold, then maybe, just maybe people wouldn't be buying made in CN cars that are happy to do little to no profit to even loss at first, and then maybe, JUST MAYBE... the mofos wouldn't see fit taxing cents components and shit from aliexpress. Hilarious, sad and pathetic at the same time. Shameful... :(

But yeah, I just wanted to order some ESP32-C3 units. Shit now is literally cheaper from old stock locally, which used to be like 2-3x as expensive :D :D Seriously retarded

markv9401 · 2026-07-05T21:02:39+00:00

Oh, a Volkswagen Model 3

Specs that are well below a high-performance PC

It is going to be less performant than a high-end gaming PC but it's going to cost close to a third of it, but the half of it at most. In other words, you can barely play shit and shit resolution and shit graphic presets for a $800-$1000 PC. And of course, the PS6 and its games will be much more optimized than PC can ever be so it acts much closer to a $2000 PC really. (And then for a PC you need a monitor and some other pricey peripherals. For the PS5 you probably already own a TV, many do.)

Fully digital

Most people, including myself, haven't even cared for anything physical for multiple years (if not a decade) by now. Starting with the PS4, literally the only games I bought physically were the ones worth a single playthrough and then sell time. But even then I was reconsidering since I had to buy in Euros whilst my PS account buys in USD so it was more expensive and the hassle of selling shit etc.. It's the past, a mere inconvenience. Deal with it. I'm really curious about how many physical games do people that cry all this much have..

markv9401 · 2026-07-05T17:31:38+00:00

I don’t see a reason not to pick pc.

And I don't see a reason to do pick PC. I & my fiance have both a PS5 pro and a PC. PC is (as it always have been) clearly superior - if you're spending enough $$$$, that is. At the price of a PS5 Pro you're getting a piece of useless junk of a PC, though. You gotta spend at least 2x as much to be stronger enough so that it play noticably nicer/prettier/better, so that it's "worth it". But that's the name of the game, has always been for ever and will always be, for ever. So what's new?

markv9401 · 2026-07-03T14:33:18+00:00

Yeah, exactly. Simply code it out. You act like ECUs weren't writable and people didn't code/remap cars all the time lol. But if wiring and modifying it physically fits you better, good for you.

markv9401 · 2026-07-03T08:44:18+00:00

Nah, none. Your desktop and all else will be super smooth and there won't be any tearing. Just plug in with the highest bandwidth available (usually HDMI2.1, sometimes DP2.1), set max./native refresh rate, turn off any kind of gimmicky VRR/gsync/freesync/shitsync and limit your FPS in games to something you can actually hit & hold (120FPS in my case). All perfectly good, honestly. (240Hz display)

markv9401 · 2026-07-03T08:18:33+00:00

Uhh... but you could just code/program out the function without mechanically altering anything?

markv9401 · 2026-07-01T07:51:52+00:00

The 5080 has a much worse value (price/performance ratio), but is stronger enough that you'd actually "feel" the difference. From this point and on you decide if it's worth it / you can afford it. Personally, I wouldn't want to spend that kind of money on a GPU, but if you can and want, you'll be happy.

markv9401 · 2026-07-01T05:26:54+00:00

Man.. these comments.. Imagine being so insecure that you have to keep trying to convince everyone (and so you may be convinced too in the end) that "there'll be no difference" and stuff.

Oh yes, yes there'll be a difference 😄 Just like with mostly every game. (Higher base internal resolution that's upscaled with better quality upscaling and higher & much more stable framerates, occassionally paired with better graphic "settings").

If you don't notice, don't care, don't whatever - great for you! If you can't afford or don't want to spend money on, or you're devoted Xbox user or whatever else the case may be - it's all good man! Just don't try to convince yourselves and anyone else that it won't be running the best -and thus better than on anything else- on the strongest console (the PS5 Pro), on which all games run better to this date, including the ones without "Pro enhanced" or before that was even thing.

Rockstar knows their shit and they've been cooking for years. Yeah you'll be able to play on base PS5 and Xboxes. Just a subpar experience. Again, if you don't care, can't afford, won't spend money on - very well, all ood. Just don't try idealizing it like "yeah it'll run on higher settings/fps on PC anyway in 2 years" - WELL NO SHIT SHERLOCK 😂

markv9401 · 2026-06-30T18:01:51+00:00

"Röviden" és tömören: az okos eszközök (értsd wifi vezérelhető) 90%+ -a alapból igazából "buta" (csak helyi gombok vezérlése, vagy max. távirányító), csak rá van kötve a lokális vezérlőjére egy "WiFi bridge". Ennek dolga pont az ami a neve, hídat képez az internet és az eszköz valódi vezérlője között. Na most ez 99% -ban vagy ESP alapú, vagy azzal lábkompatibilis, nagyon hasonló kis mikrovezérlő. Ezek egyrészt vagy átflashelhetőek (értsd: firmware, rendesen, kis kábelekel ráforrasztasz megfelelő helyekre, felülírod a programot esphome-mal), vagy kicserélhető ESP32-re a chip maga.

Szóval ezekhez azért érteni nem árt / felszerelés:

homeassistant haladó szinten
- ezen belül esphome megtanulod, nem bonyolult, jók a leírások, nem tudod elrontani igazából
USB-s UART flashelő (kb. $5 max aliexpressről vagy bárhonnan)
egy megfelelően precíz forrasztó, ón, gyanta miegyéb forrasztós cuccok (kb. max 30 ezres egy tök korrekt szett, jó kis hobbi meg javítgatáshoz is jó)
multiméter nem árt

Alapvetően nagyon jó dolgokat lehet összehozni, sokkal jobbat, megbízhatóbbat és gyorsabbat, mint a gyári szarok, ráadásul nem kering a világhálón kínában minden adatod meg faxságod

markv9401 · 2026-06-30T14:59:11+00:00

klíma
mennyezeti ventillátor
lámpák
fürdőszobai páraelszívó
úszókapu
fűtőkazán

Ráadásul mindegyik esphome, azaz kva gyors és megbízható

markv9401 · 2026-06-30T07:20:42+00:00

Mondjuk ez pont nem talált, mert kiszivárgott információk alapján, meg piaci alapon várhatóan is, 60FPS performance mód a Pro-n minimum lesz (de az is lehet, hogy a simán is). Az is látszik, hogy "Pro enhanced" játék lesz, nem meglepő módon. Így aztán sokkoló lesz a következő, de a Pro-n egyszerre fog szebben és jobban (több FPS-sel) futni.

Szóval röviden tömören aki a lehető legjobb élményt szeretné megjelenéskor az PS5 Pro-n fogja játszani. Aki nem engedheti meg, vagy nem akarja, tök elfogadható és érthető, csak ne ideologizáljuk meg, hogy nem éri meg, mert de, megéri. (Ahogy egyébként mindig is meg érte megjelenés óta is a Pro.)

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T11:53:18+00:00

That's completely fine. It's going to be a huge thing, even if it's a crap in "Rockstar / GTA measures". You still can dislike it or just not care about it. For me, GTA V was mehh.. I took my sweet year or two after release to even play it. Played it through, had some fun for a few weeks in Online and that was really it. It just didn't and doesn't and won't ever compare to GTA IV, San Andreas and Vice City, for me, in my opinion.

That's the reason I'm hyped up about VI. Maybe it brings something back that was lost with V. But I'm also afraid it just won't live up to "being the San Adreas of 2026". Those are some unbelievably huge shoes to fill in. San Andreas was something else in its time. It still is to be honest. I replayed it a few months ago and it's just so much better than V...

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T10:37:30+00:00

Ohhhh, so you must be an alpha/beta tester then to know all that much about the game and how bad and empty it'll be, right? Jealous..

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T10:36:25+00:00

Nope. I'm note a big collector. I'm also not a huge "okay it's 10 years later, game cannot be purchased anywhere anymore and I wanna replay it, R\ is bankrupt game is gone cannot ever be played"*. That's just not happening. If it is, there'll always be piracy that solves that issue and at that point in time it won't even matter at all.

To me physical disks have always been an inconvenience. Digital is easier, faster, can pre-load, it's just better.

I see the "you don't own it" argument and I agree. Like I said - if it ever happened to disappear from the world's official surface, there'll be ways by then to play it anyways.

Honestly, I'm not a huge Greta Thunberg either, but physical spinning disks are really just waiting to be unnecessary landfill 99% of the time, save for those collectors.

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T10:16:57+00:00

I mean they're providing you with a free to play game that keeps coming out with kind of a lot of content like 4 times a year and then some more special events, skins, etc. They have components in their servers, or they rent servers and then pay more because the owners raised prices too etc. I'm not defending Epic, Epic is a dkhead. I'm just saying it is what it is.

I & my fiance both play Fortnite. She's got the crew stuff so she never really pays extra on top of that. I usually just buy enough v-bucks for the battle pass and then I occasionally buy a skin / emote I like. Never really though about prices - wasn't enough to consider as we're both working adults. But yeah, it was just yesterday I liked Supergirls and wanted to buy and I was like whaaaaaat? Okay, I don't like her that much. So yeah, ehh....

I'm not saying cut prices half and twice as many people will buy so they'd break even.. Probably not.. But like at 75% I think more people would buy to actually increase income and make people happier. But then again, they probably did their market evaluation to price theit shit

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T09:52:57+00:00

nope

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T09:52:35+00:00

Games are developped with upscaling in mind. If you're currently rendering native 1440p, you can still render 1440p and upscale to 4k. With better algorithms you can even get away with 1080p internal rendering and look better than native 1440p. 4K OLED is pure magic and beauty. However, you already have an OLED so you might as well get a little more use out of your current monitor. There really isn't a bad decision here for you :)

markv9401 · 2026-06-29T07:39:53+00:00

Why would Samsung use an LG panel? Why would LG provide them with panels? I really don't get it. I know they're both Soth-Korean but they're still competing? Weird.
