00:00.17GnarfozI need an AMD GPU to use FreeSync (2), don't I?
00:01.12nevcairielyes
00:01.53Gnarfozand G-Sync displays is still obscenely expensive?
00:02.19Gnarfozwhy are these things this way around, considering how good/bad the respective GPUs are? >_>
00:02.58nevcairielmaybe thats why its this way around
00:03.25nevcairielgsync is technically superior, although most people dont care for that difference
00:03.37Gnarfozis it still?
00:04.07GnarfozI thought it was mainly this expensive because vendors have to literally buy a module from nvidia for it, vs. "implementing" FreeSync
00:04.48nevcairielthats true, but that gives you a unified tech that just works, instead of vendor implementation potluck
00:04.53nebulamonitor oems should just refuse to implement either until they unify the tech
00:04.54Gnarfoz(kind of like HDMI which costs a) license and b) extra import taxes whereas DisplayPort is both free to use and doesn't cause your computer display to be considered an "entertainment device" for tax purposes)
00:05.17Gnarfoz:s
00:05.29nevcairielanyhow that screen there is pointless anyway
00:05.38Gnarfozbecause we're where we are: in what way is g-sync > fs2?
00:05.42nebulahdmi was licensed? didn't know that
00:05.50nebula/was/is/
00:06.13Gnarfoz(AFAIRecall!)
00:06.33nevcairielits a consumer entertainment tech, of course it is
00:06.50Gnarfoz(huh, AFAIR the R stood for "reckon" at some point/somewhere, but it was recall all along)
00:07.03Gnarfoz(maybe it's just sleep deprivation!)
00:07.25Gnarfozand yeah, the 8K screen is of course rather pointless for most people. but I bet it looks plenty awesome
00:07.42nevcairieli doubt i could tell the difference from a 4k screen really
00:07.54nevcairielalso almost 32" is too big for my taste
00:08.52GnarfozI'm on 2x 16:10 24" and my glasses make them smaller than I realized
00:09.20Gnarfoz(not that I have an option, everything else is just as small :P)
00:10.29GnarfozI was giving the 43" version of Samsung's 49" Super-Ultradwide (32:9) they just debuted some thought, since, contrary to the 49" one it's actually 32:10, i.e. 3840x1200, which is basically the same resolution as my current screens have, combined
00:10.38Gnarfozon the other hand, that would mean I don't gain anything. :P
00:11.08nevcairielyeah i'm not sold on that ultrawide business
00:11.10Gnarfoz(I'd lose the bezels between the screens, though; and from my guildie who has the 49" one, I hear that you can actually run it as two screens)
00:11.29nevcairielyou kind of have to for the majority of apps to e ven make some sense of it =p
00:12.09Gnarfozyou'd have to get used to using non-maximized programs, for sure
00:12.28Gnarfozalso, since they're curved and super wide, they are also very deep
00:12.41Gnarfoznot sure that's a good fit for my "desk in front of wall" setup
00:12.52nevcairieli have 3 screens with a manual curve in them
00:12.59nevcairielie. the two on the sides stand at an angle
00:13.50nevcairielbut i would want to give up my 1440p 144hz gsync gaming screen
00:19.54*** join/#wowace purl (ibot@208.53.50.136)
00:19.54*** topic/#wowace is https://wowace.com/ | 7.3.x ToC: 70300 | https://wowace.com/paste/ | http://lua.org | This channel is logged, via purl | Official support path https://support.curse.com
00:19.59Gnarfozfor what?
00:20.01Gnarfozand why?
00:20.29Gnarfoz(also, can you elaborate on gsync > fs (&fs2?))
00:21.33GnarfozNeither of these lists ist particularly long :\ (>= 27", 1440p, G-Sync) https://geizhals.de/?cat=monlcd19wide&v=l&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu&fcols=11955&sort=p&xf=11939_27~11942_2560x1440~11959_8bit+(16.7+Mio.+Farben)~11992_NVIDIA+G-Sync / (>= 27", D, G-Sync)
00:21.36Gnarfozbah
00:21.50GnarfozNeither of these lists ist particularly long :\ (>= 27", 1440p, G-Sync) https://geizhals.de/?cat=monlcd19wide&v=l&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu&fcols=11955&sort=p&xf=11939_27~11942_2560x1440~11959_8bit+(16.7+Mio.+Farben)~11992_NVIDIA+G-Sync / (>= 27", 2160p, G-Sync) https://geizhals.de/?cat=monlcd19wide&v=e&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu&fcols=11955&sort=p&xf=11939_27~11942_3840x2160~11992_NVIDIA+G-Sync
00:22.37nevcairieli have the predecessor of that acer predator thats the second in the list
00:22.44Gnarfoz(also, quite a steep price spectrum in the UHD list)
00:23.19GnarfozI should probably exclude TN from either list, not sure about IPS vs VA
00:23.22nevcairielThe difference between gsync and freesync is  ultimate quite irrelevant anyway, because you have to get a AMD card for one, and noone  wants that
00:23.44Gnarfoztrue, just curious, since you mentioned it
00:25.31nevcairielthe biggest advantage is as hinted above that you get a consistent experience everywhere, since its always controlled by the same thing, and nvidia mandates certain proprties of the panel as well, mostly regarding low refresh rate limits, which can be a  bit hit or miss on freesync, so one has another factor to check for in reviews
00:26.19nevcairielalso the behavior when switching from high to low refresh rate quickly is better with gsync generally - although thats then again up to the screen maker to get right
00:27.16nevcairielalthough the price of the 4k hdr gsync module is a bit outrageous, but there is only like 2 screens with it so far anyway
00:27.41Gnarfozsee second list above, 7
00:27.57Gnarfoz(doubt there's a <27" one that that list excludes :D)
00:28.13nevcairielthe list  seems wrong
00:28.26nevcairielor well, maybe you can do 4k without hdr with the old module
00:28.49Gnarfozapparently. only 2 use "G-Sync HDR"
00:28.54Gnarfozwhich is probably what you meant
00:29.00nevcairielthere is only two so far, the Acer Predator X27 and the ASUS Rog something
00:29.25Gnarfozalso, what the hell model numbers does Acer use: Acer Predator X27bmiiphzx
00:29.39nevcairielyeah no clue whats with the letter jumble
00:29.46nevcairielit usually stops after the numbers
00:29.56Gnarfozah, a cool 2500€ for either of those
00:29.59nevcairielor well the uppercase letters
00:30.06nevcairielmine says XB270HU on the front
00:30.45nevcairielXB271HU is on your 1440p list, the newer variant of it
00:30.56Gnarfozapprently it's https://www.acer.com/ac/de/DE/content/predator-model/UM.HX1EE.001 "Predator XB1"
00:31.00nevcairielwith an uglyier stand, apparently
00:31.45Gnarfoz(Modellname : Predator XB271HK ... they can't decide, can they... or they interspersed the screen diagonal betwen the XB and the 1)
00:32.20Gnarfozanyway, why are you looking to get rid of you current one?
00:32.32nevcairielOh I know why thsoe two HDR screens need the new gsync module
00:32.36nevcairielthey are 4k 144hz
00:32.45nevcairielthe other ones are 4k 60hz
00:33.08nevcairielI'm not? :)
00:33.41nevcairielapparently i forgot a not in a sentence earlier

16:43.45znfSo about 2 weeks ago, our DC went down because our ISPs fiber was cut and their backup didn't work automatically.
16:44.03znfI've got this client on Shared Hosting (a reseller account), asking TODAY about what happened 2 weeks ago.
16:44.09znfI reply back with an explanation.
16:44.31znfHe replies back with "there was a lack of communication" and... "I hope we can address this as a discount to the invoice that is due tomorow"
16:44.51znf...and, he has the audacity of claiming that's why they didn't pay until now, because he didn't know what happened.
16:44.54znf2 weeks after the event.
16:45.36nebulai mean, what does your sla say?
16:45.37znfAnd this is the same guy for which I always postpone the due-by date because he needs extra time to pay it.
16:45.54Funkeh`nebula: are you sure that's what you mean
16:46.16znfhe always needs +2 more weeks to pay the invoice
16:46.17nebulamost likely

16:48.50znf...yes, I just did that
16:48.55znfI realized after I pressed enter
16:48.56znf:D
16:51.35znfHaha.
16:51.39znfMy colleague had a great idea.
16:52.03znfAdd penalties for late payments.

17:51.36Primerznf: talk about android with me
17:51.53PrimerSince I can't get anyone in any #android* channel here on freeload to even say anything
17:52.10PrimerAnd those channels all have like 400+ people too
17:52.48znfPrimer: I could try that, but I think Stanzilla knows Android better :D
17:53.15znfI'm still on Android 6.0 :D
17:53.16PrimerI just rooted my AT&T LGv30
17:53.38PrimerWhich had me install an upstream image from LG (I believe)
17:54.07PrimerThis exploit actually unlocked the bootloader, so I've got TWRP installed as the bootloader
17:54.14znfneat
17:54.21PrimerRight now the phone is telling me there's an update
17:54.32znfTRWP is recovery not bootloader
17:54.42PrimerSee? I don't know the terms
17:54.46PrimerOr the concepts
17:54.58PrimerI mean, on a proper box I know what Linux will do, but android is totally different
17:55.20PrimerSo I'm not sure if accepting this update will plug the hole
17:55.31znfyou're not gonna be able to do it anyway
17:55.34PrimerBut...perhaps that boat has sailed? I mean, the bootloader is unlocked
17:56.03znfnot sure the specifics of the AT&T version, but you usually can't OTA after rooting
17:56.03PrimerWhy will I not be able to update?
17:56.13PrimerThis is an LG image
17:56.15PrimerAnd an LG update
17:56.19znfDoesn't matter
17:56.23PrimerNot AT&T
17:56.27PrimerOf course it matters
17:56.46znfExcept the old nexuses, I don't know of any phone that you can root and then actually do OTAs again
17:57.02PrimerThe OTA is from LG, not AT&T
17:57.09PrimerThe current image I'm running is from LG
17:57.26PrimerIt's not cyanogen or any custom image
17:57.33znfThose would actually work :P
17:57.46PrimerThat's what I was thinking
17:57.57PrimerThat this update should be fine
17:57.58znfI don't know, really. I haven't messed around with Android at that level in a long time.
17:58.10znfNo - I meant - the Cyanogen & custom images updates would be fine
17:58.31znfBut a modified "stock" image won't be upgradeable via OTA anymore.
17:58.35znfAgain - things might have change
17:58.38znfchanged
17:58.39PrimerIt's not modified
17:58.47znfyou have root? it's modified
17:58.55PrimerNot really?
17:59.01znfYou said you have root
17:59.04PrimerSo?
17:59.12PrimerI installed an app...would that "modify" it?
17:59.20PrimerI'm seeing it the same way
17:59.32znfwell, unless you have systemless root, which I doubt, then it's modified
17:59.33PrimerThe image itself is LG's, flashed to the device as-is
17:59.50PrimerI simplty have access to the bootloader, which allows me to write to /system
17:59.59PrimerI do have systemless root
18:00.22PrimerIn fact, that's one of the things I want to understand. Why is it that I have to reboot every time I install a systemless app.
18:00.24znfCool.
18:00.27Primerok, game on
18:00.33PrimerGo Croatia!
18:01.01znfAnyway, the thing is - without owning your exact device, I can't tell. Some full system updates relock your bootloader and shit like that.
18:01.13znfbut it depends from update to update
18:01.16PrimerThat's what I fear
18:01.24znfif it's an incremental update, small one, then I'd risk it
18:01.31PrimerI believe it is
18:01.35PrimerI'm on 8.0.0
18:01.48PrimerI imagine update just brings me to 8.1
18:01.55znfif it's a large one (1gb+), then it probably has a high chance of relocking it and everything
18:02.12znfWhy not stop by XDA?
18:02.17PrimerI doubt the updater will tell me how big it is
18:02.18*** part/#wowace Primer (~daniel@ceregatti.org)
18:02.20znfI'm sure those guys have the experience
