  • Oh sorry I was in a rush reading your post the first time and fully missed that your wireless adapter was broken lol. Do you have a 3.5mm audio cable to use? I honestly don’t even know if the USB port supports audio but my gut feeling would be charging only (can’t imagine why they’d bother putting a DAC in the headphones). I won’t have my headphones or my pc for a couple days but I can poke around with this after that if you want anything tested on another similar setup, by then.


  • Possibly a stupid question, but are you using the wireless dongle that came with the headphones? I have the same headphones and run arch as well, and my pc recognizes the dongle as “Audeze Maxwell usb” or something like that.

    I’m running pipewire for my audio system and iirc it worked out of the gate with these headphones, though I did some modifications to get digital surround sound working too.



  • I only really use LLMs for project ideas, naming things, or recipes, but it’s great for those. For recipes especially, trusting the gaslight machine adds an extra layer of suspense and fun to cooking or baking.

    It’s also fun, but not useful, to ask Linux questions - chatgpt specifically told me to restart dbus while in an active GUI session when I asked it about a simple case of unintended behaviour. It’s probably the dumbest Linux advice I’ve heard to date, so I got a lot of enjoyment out of trying it to see how bad it would fuck things up




  • This is definitely gonna depend on the market you’re in - in Canada, iirc the msrp was $899 and a couple retailers stuck to that for a bit on launch. They went up for a bit after that but now it’s not uncommon to see certain variants at msrp (most often the gigabyte ones ime).

    If you’re in the states it’s probably less likely to ever see msrp, unless the orange piece of shit finally dies or stops ripping off consumers with dumbass tariffs.

    Like the other person said tho, the msrp for this gen is less relevant cuz amd didn’t make a reference card to actually have to stick to it, so I’d focus more on the price/performance vs a 5070ti for any kind of value assessment (usually way better in both).




  • This is definitely one reason for their design, and Apple is shit for that, but the primary reason and the one that many iphone haters miss or trivialize is that SMS/MMS are absolutely fucking trash. There has to be a distinction because if you’re using imessage and relying on all your messages being e2e encrypted and your photos/videos not being compressed to shit, it’s important to get a blatant visual indicator when that’s not actually the case.

    I’m not trying to downplay apple’s bullshit social engineering about this, that really is fucked up, but this gets misconstrued all the time as irrational users being upset by green bubbles when to (many of) those users it’s actually a huge downgrade in security and functionality that they’re reacting to.







  • A 3080 10gb is 69-71% the performance of a 9070 xt, so you’d see a pretty big jump in raw fps. For ray tracing, the 3080 is 60-76% the performance, so a similar increase there. It’s also worth keeping in mind these numbers are from the 9070xt launch, and other benchmarks have found the performance increased over time (nearly 10% iirc), so this is probably a lowball of the difference.

    It’s also a much quieter card in general, though this depends a lot on the specific variant of each card you have.

    I’m in the same boat with a 3080 10gb and I was really itching to snag one when the 9070xt first dropped, but personally I decided to be patient and wait for AMD’s next gen to grab an 80 class gpu (I run 4K so kinda need it).


  • afaik: short for janitor, and intended to be derogatory when used towards mods or admins.
    I think it might have been popularized on 4chan? Idk that’s the context I’ve seen it in most and it fits their MO of shitting on people for working jobs or contributing to society at all.

    Seems like a pretty shitty attempt at an insult imo tho, cuz a mod and a janitor basically do the same function (cleaning the shit so nobody else has to deal with it, ensuring the place is actually nice for users) and both are critical for public places but underappreciated/underpaid.



  • Proton’s a compatibility layer to translate between games that want to speak to windows and a Linux system. Steam downloads it for you if you turn it on as a setting, and most of the time you shouldn’t have to worry about it past that.

    For pirated games: if you have the game as a folder with a game exe rather than an installer, you can still add it to steam pretty easily as a non-steam game and then just enable proton. If it has an installer this can still work, but it’s more of a pain cuz you have to add the installer to steam, run it with proton, and then switch the steam entry’s file location to the newly installed game. I honestly don’t recommend doing it that second way, I’m chronically allergic to bloat (arch btw) and even for me this is a dumb hacky work around.
