What's your latest tech purchase?

[ThaiTaffy]

If it's this TV then its native resolution is 3840x2160, standard 16:9 UHD. 4096x2160 is DCI-4k (the cinema/movie standard, not used for consumer electronics), which is 256∶135 or ~1.90∶1, instead of 16:9/~1.78:1. In other words, with your current resolution everything you're seeing is "squeezed" a bit (though likely not enough to notice unless made aware of it).

If your display crops if you set it to 3840x2160 I would look at the TV's overscan/scaling settings, as that should be its native resolution. Many TVs default to weird overscan settings due to idiotic TV equipment standards (the same as why most console games ask you to adjust what parts of the screen you can actually see) or lack of standards, which can cause them to mishandle PC signals. This might also explain why your font rendering looks a bit weird and fuzzy.

Thnx I'll take a look later when I get back home

It's a good day.

And fitted wasn't sure I was going to get them in without removing the motherboard especially with sausage fingers but I managed.

The budget king of custom keyboards
Keyboard kit TM680
Milky yellow black bottom switches
PBT keycaps
Foam and tape mod and lubed stabs.
The switches are super smooth don't need lube imo.

You'd be surprised how many people have that opinion as an ideology. The paparazzi have a lot to answer for.

Apologies if I offended you.

i wholly understand and you needn't apologize as I wasn't offended and yes I do not condone what the paparazzi do they're just a bunch of barracudas looking for a victim to exploit

[Keullo-e]

Ordered 3m of soft 13/10 tube and a 8g syringe of MX-4. My current tubes have seen better days as they're dim and crappy.

Marvel exited the Wi-Fi and router business some time ago.

ah no they make the Aquatia branded chipsets for Wi-Fi as well as Nic chipsets aswell they may not do routers anymore but they still do Wi-Fi/Nic stuff

Just ordered some 3600MT G Skill Trident Z Neo ram and a 5800X CPU so pics incoming when they get here

so as promised here's the RyZen R7 5800X which just arrived this arvo (WOOHOO) now to put it in

Single rank rev E?

No idea I know it's single rank but anything else I'm unsure there's little data on the crucial site and the box had absolutely no paperwork. I've just installed Windows 11 so once I get all my programs back up and running I can take a better look.

 

[AlwaysHope]

Gotta Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Z590 & i7-11700k on the way.... better get here before next weekend!
Postal services everywhere are under heavy loads atm.

ZenTimings or the simplest way - sticker on the RAM has M8FE1 at the end of part number if it's single rank. Based on your earlier photo it looks like it is so you should be able to OC it to 3733+.

I recently shipped a complete system via Oz Post from just north of Brisbane to Penrith region West of Sydney, I expected it to take a week but it got delivered overnight FMD that was fast, and normal post too, not express.
I hope yours is just as speedy.

 

[ThaiTaffy]

Yep single rank 8gb e die M8FE1

I have a fun weekend planned

Testing Ubuntu server out with some CCTV cameras

Amazon have refunded me for the $460 i paid, and screwed up even further:

I have it in writing they will send this product at this price

Love my logitech stuff. Just got myself a G512 mechanical keyboard. Love it

3 packs of replacement filters for my Philips vacuum cleaner. They are suppose to be discontinued but amazon still has them in stock so bought 3 which should last me next three years.

I use a old sock that's stretched out over the filter on my shop vac and just wash the filter every 3-6 months.

So you can MacGuyver a HEPA filter from a sock. Cool. I will stick to a €12 set of filters instead.

No that's too destructive to the environmental and expensive

Aquantia has NEVER made anything Wi-Fi, I think you're confusing them with Quantenna, who is not owned by Marvell.
The Aquantia brand is pretty much gone now anyhow, as Marvell has rebranded all of those products.
Marvell sold their wireless BU to NXP in 2019.

That seems to be an Asian standard. I find them to be terrible brooms, but then again, I grew up sweeping a horse stable, so my broom standards are quite high...

Final piece of my PC ATM. Sleeved SATA cables and my new ifixit kit

I have the slightly larger iFixIt set. I needed the pentalobe bit to open my MBP to clean the dust out of the heatsinks and figured I'd just get the full kit. I even used the SIM bit for the new phone I got for my daughter over the weekend. It's a nice little kit.
