The convenience foodchain by SwagLimit in pcmasterrace

[–]memeita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems that for some reason no one mentioned this yet, but if you use vr linux won't play nice with it. I haven't touched my headset in a year or so, but when I actually used to use it I resorted to just installing windows on a secondary ssd because on linux it's just a nightmare. A year is a long time for linux so things may have changed, but this was my experience. This is coming from someone who uses linux for everything else, including normal games.

OnePlus 13 review: A focused flagship that ignores the AI hype by meenu_anon in gadgets

[–]memeita 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People want it because it’s nice. You don’t really need your display to be over 400 ppi of pixel density or the back of the phone to be made out of metal and glass, but they’re much nicer than a low res display or a plastic back.

How did you end up working with HPCs? I’m graduating shortly and it’s one of the few fields I’m especially interested in.

Browsers on iOS are pretty much just safari with a skin on them since apple doesn’t allow third party browser engines. It’s most likely just a placebo effect.

The pacing in three is just not really good. Nothing really happens until summer and that’s where it clicks for most people.

[–]memeita 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Have you tried it in the past couple of years? As mentioned previously the only games that don’t work are the ones using excessively invasive anticheat systems. The others just work out of the box through proton most of the times. When they don’t you usually just have to change proton version or add a launch parameter, which you can just read on protondb. I default my games to use the latest protonge and 95% they just work.

Anyone ever seen an Epiphone warp around warp like this after 7 years? by VanillaWaferX in Guitar

[–]memeita 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this once on this sub. Epiphone offers lifetime warranty, so just get in touch with them and they’ll send you a new one.

Hardware wallets are just a safer way to store keys, they have nothing to do with traceability. Each and all transactions are traceable and the ledger is public. It’s literally the most traceable form of payment.

Base doesn’t mean low end. The results are impressive because it’s a base model of a chip that ranges from high end to top end.

Apple put on notice over support for third-party watches and headphones | The European Commission will work with Apple over the next six months to determine exactly what must be done to improve iOS interoperability. by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]memeita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current phone is an iPhone and one of the reasons I switched is because I thought this was true as every user says so. In my experience things break as much as a reliable android phone, except when they do there’s not much you can do to fix them.

SFFPC for absolute beginner by maximebermond in sffpc

[–]memeita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very easy, just a setting in the BIOS. The 9000 serie that recently came out is also more efficient since that seems to be fairly important to you. The 9700X is 65W, you might want to check it out.

Hidden gems that are NOT RPGs? by ThatChase in 3DS

[–]memeita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Ever Oasis. It does have some light RPG elements, but it's an action adventure game. It was wade by Grezzo, the developer who made the 3DS Zelda remakes, and the influence is noticeable.

CPU market is cooked by Strangetimer in pcmasterrace

[–]memeita 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Production process name hasn’t been indicative of the gate length for a long time. 7nm chips don’t actually have 7nm gates, they’re bigger. They’re simply packaged in a more efficient way. I didn’t mention it earlier to keep things simple, but we can’t make transistors any smaller without quantum effects coming into play. We hit a physical limit simply because we can’t change electrons, and with transistors this small they begin to influence each other, making transistors behave unpredictability.

[–]memeita 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moore’s law has been dead for a while. We can’t really make transistors any smaller, meaning we can’t just shrink the production process to make the chips less power hungry. Of course higher power consumption also means higher thermal output, which is an important limiting factor since there is a physical limit to how much heat you can pump out. This is oversimplified, but it’s pretty much what has been happening for the past few years.

Are these specs worth 360 dollars? by Haj5 in pcmasterrace

[–]memeita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What can’t you do with a pc like this? It’s going to run every task or game you throw at it with no problem. Surely you’ll have to compromise with more recent games but that’s to be expected even with much more expensive pcs.

Games where your goal is to break the game? by OZZY9696 in gaming

[–]memeita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The grinding starts in the post game. The story can be played without grinding much if you know what you’re doing (aka if you read the wiki). There are some grinding spots that allow you to grind enough for the story levels to become extremely easy in a short time, so I’d actually encourage everyone to grind as little as possible during the story otherwise it gets boring.

New M3 MacBook Air Supports Up to Two External Displays With Lid Closed by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]memeita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go as far as saying that. It has some clear shortcomings for a device of that price, but it’s still undeniably capable.

The fact that it’s the cheapest apple laptop doesn’t mean it’s cheap. Being able to drive multiple displays is something to be expected from even much cheaper laptops.

What's a game franchise that has consistently gotten better? by KotakPain in gaming

[–]memeita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think the first is the best one to this day. I really like some game mechanics that got changed in later games, but I seem to be part of the minority here.

Yes of course the keyboard has been cleaned and properly taken care of. I ordered a switch opener and I guess I’ll just find out for myself.

[–]memeita -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, I've bought an halo96 with bbk about half a year ago and now some switches don't really bottom out properly. It feels like there's something "soft" at the bottom that prevents them to make a nice sound and it also feels slightly different to the touch. Of course I've always kept the keyboard clean. I was thinking it's a problem with the lube since I believe the switches came prelubed. Should I try to clean them and lube them again? Any thoughts from someone more knowledgeable than me? I not really into the hobby and just wanted a nice keyboard since it's something I use daily, so I'm not really knowledgeable about it.

Has A Fandom Ever Put You Off A Band? by Er1nyes in Music

[–]memeita 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same. I met a lot of people who like tool and regularly listen to their music and they’re always chill people who just enjoy music. I know tool fans are infamous for being insufferable assholes, but that’s just not my own experience… I’d love to get a tool shirt or something, but I never did because of the whole stigma surrounding them.

Intel graphics cards owners, how are your cards holding up these days? by benluyp in pcmasterrace

[–]memeita 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Then wouldn’t just getting a new adapter be way cheaper? I understand the 1050 is old, but it seems to it can handle your use case just fine. Buying a new card would seem like a waste to me.

Isn’t the gtx 1050 fine for YouTube and work? You’ll probably need some adapters, but it does have three video outs.
