[carmine forge]

Or just fire up the engines to heat the hangar :)

[lethal hinge]

if i wanna fly closest ill get is pulling the safety pins on the eject and eject myself into the ceiling of the hangar

[carmine forge]

Lol

What do you do specifically in the air force?

[lethal hinge]

structural repair

[carmine forge]

Oh cool

[lethal hinge]

aircraft structural maintenance

[carmine forge]

Just out of interest

What aircraft have you worked on?

[lethal hinge]

f16 and the other i cant say :P

[carmine forge]

Ah :)

Shame I only know how to somewhat fly the F18

[lethal hinge]

anyways back to tech talk is the HYTE Y60 case good?

[lethal hinge]

flight sim or war thunder

[carmine forge]

flight sim

DCS

That's why I say somewhat

[lethal hinge]

nice

[carmine forge]

Bc it's different to actually being in the cockpit

[lethal hinge]

i wouldnt know

[carmine forge]

And also that's using my keyboard and an xbox controller

So much less fine control over the aircraft - makes carrier landings painfully hard because it becomes really hard to make minor adjustments when using throttle to pitch

[empty wren]

Easy solution

[carmine forge]

Get a HOTAS

[empty wren]

Attach hotas looking joystick to keyboard

[carmine forge]

Ik

XD

[lethal hinge]

lmfao

detication

[empty wren]

Wooting keyboard got the analog outputs😏

[carmine forge]

Meaning?

[empty wren]

3d printed hotas accessory+keyboard+API = aircraft flight controls

[carmine forge]

As in

3d printed handle

[empty wren]

Bootleg yoke and hotas

[carmine forge]

Lol

But what about the actual bearing thing or whatever it's called

[empty wren]

No idea what that is

[carmine forge]

That yokes or joysticks normally act on and registers the input

[empty wren]

Potentiometer?

[carmine forge]

Yes

[empty wren]

Oh those are old news

Magnetic mx switch is the future

[carmine forge]

Yes but does the keyboard have those?

[empty wren]

Though I will say some models use hall effect potentiometers on the higher end

[empty wren]

No too weird

[carmine forge]

Then how are you strapping a bootleg yoke to the wooteng?

[empty wren]

Well with springs I guess

In the parts

Since the switches have barely any resistance

[carmine forge]

What I mean

[empty wren]

Oh

Nevermind

Lemme find a dumb picture hold on

[carmine forge]

Is how are you interfacing with the keyboard

To allow it to act like a yoke

Or a joystick

[empty wren]

Like this but better designed

[carmine forge]

Ohhh

[empty wren]

So it can swivel

Not tilt

[carmine forge]

That's pretty cool tbh

That would actually work well as well

Because of HE

[empty wren]

So long as you can create enough force resistance

Could be feasible

[carmine forge]

Btw

Does the Wooteng 2 HE have windows keys?

Or whatever they are called universally

Command keys I think (although that might be an Apple specific thing)

Anyway ty for your help @empty wren - much appreciated

[empty wren]

Yes

Super

[carmine forge]

Perfect

But going to go to bed tonight since I need to be up again in 5 hours

Gn :)

[empty wren]

You can remove em if you do not want them as well in the remap section in the wootility and good nivht

[carmine forge]

Ty

Oh and last thing

Is there any specific difference other than preference between ABS and PBT for the keycaps?

[empty wren]

Well sound can be slightly different

Color choice more available with abs

And time to shine from oil on keycaps

Abs can shine in under a year

[empty wren]

https://youtu.be/iJ02ZNYX7O4

Well this will probably become more popular

[old marlin]

before clicking on it

you should know that LTT is quite familiar with the plattform already

since they already have a bunch of X1 carbons

not to say that either one is a bad printer

but the pricing is kinda weird

[spring lagoon]

I feel like the magnetic actuation of the wooting really lends itself to wireless technology (not Bluetooth, but superfast similar to wireless gaming mice). Wooting could really shake up the market by making a wireless board with wireless charging (qi), but perhaps the compromises are too much.

It would be nice for keyboard wireless to catch up to the 1ms latency we’ve been enjoying with mice for awhile now

[fair gull]

but

it has 1ms latency

and speed wise its 9.53nanoseconds for a 2 meter copper wire and 6.6nanoseconds for wireless

so 0.00000000953 seconds vs 0.0000000066 seconds

compared to the 0.001 seconds (thats 1ms)

[old marlin]

It has?

Like

If you buy a modern gaming keyboard it uses the same wireless protocols as modern gaming mice

There just is less of a reason for wireless keyboards

[spring lagoon]

Yeah the reason is because you have to charge them frequently, usually using a wire (which doesn’t eliminate a wire from your desk)
That’s why I think qi charging directly though the case would be a sweet trend

Also am I missing something? All the videos I’ve seen of the wooting never mentioned wireless. I thought it was a wired board

Mine is still shipping which is why I don’t know 😦

I guess for mice removing a wire actually serves the purpose of making it more functional, where as doing that for keyboards is purely aesthetic… so I see your point and understand why that trend hasn’t caught on

[fair gull]

its wired

also removing the wire for mice is about movement freedom mainly

[spring lagoon]

Now I’m curious about dongle and custom battery solutions… Is there a dongle out there that could work with the wooting (and retain near-original latency and no data loss) if I manually soldered a battery on it? Could be a fun project and I could post my results in the modding group

[reef patrol]

probably

I think we had one guy asking about some weird japanese dongle with battery that didn't work out months ago?

[fair gull]

sub 1ms will be hard cause the keyboard is basically exactly 1ms

[spring lagoon]

Noted I will rephrase my post to “retaining near-original latency”

[spring lagoon]

I think I remember seeing a LTT video about modding in wireless charging to a wireless keyboard too. Their proof of concept actually kindve worked iirc

[fair gull]

well we arent wireless though. so youd either make everything use the usb-c or you solder on the pcb which will definitely void the warranty

[spring lagoon]

Heh. Every voided warranty is a modder’s badge of honor

[carmine forge]

Just out of interest

Do all the keys have lekker switches with HE?

[fair gull]

yes

[carmine forge]

Just since I use my function keys quite a lot

Oh sweet

Also have there been any updates on the EU-Dop batch

[reef patrol]

Mnope.

[carmine forge]

Since I'm not seeing any in the discord

Ah ok

Just wanted to check again seeing as you were around

[reef patrol]

Updates don't generally happen till about a month or so before expected shipping, once production begins.

[carmine forge]

Ok

And shipping is when it's shipped to me?

Just because I'm just interested in roughly when in April i would get mine if I ordered it

[reef patrol]

Shipping is when it leaves our warehouse.
Delivery is your doorstep.

[carmine forge]

Ah ok

How long has it usually been between shipping and delivery for people

[reef patrol]

Entirely depends on how far away you live from the warehouse.

https://help.wooting.io/en/article/shipping-method-information-qdet9l/?bust=1663587835638

[carmine forge]

Ty

Mine would most likely be DHL or DPD

Considering the UK isn't in the EU anymore so also UPS - Express Saver

[reef patrol]

Mhmm

[carmine forge]

Well ty for the help

Just need to order it now :)

[spare hill]

Isn’t the system choosing the optimal freight company?

[reef patrol]

Don't know what gave you that impression. But no - That is up to the customer.

[spare hill]

Interesting that i didn’t get those options. I live in Sweden and chose air freight. I somehow have DPD as deliverer. I don’t remember that i chose it

[reef patrol]

Your options are based on location.

[hollow carbon]

aussie we have 3 options depends on location

[tame hedge]

oh so DPD is actually a service?

🙄 someone not long ago said it was short deutsche post department..

[marsh glade]

DPD is a different company than Deutsche Post

[wheat plume]

What Nvidia GPU is an AMD 6800x roughly equal to?

[cursive summit]

6800XT?

About 3080-3080Ti levels

[wheat plume]

No...
I was told 6800X

Not XT

[cursive summit]

There is no such card, Lana

[wheat plume]

O ..

Then idk wtf card she got
Must be xt

[cursive summit]

Yes, XT

Or the non-XT

6800XT is a genuinely pretty amazing card

[wheat plume]

I'm jealous af
My sister got this for her birthday

I want

[cursive summit]

However I'm sort of done with AMD, since I've been getting into the more less optimized parts of the PC world

And that part just does not like AMD at all

Nvidia's just got so much more stability and feature creep over AMD

[tribal dirge]

Nvidia cards are still superior.

[wheat plume]

Nah

[cursive summit]

In terms of what

AMD cards might as well be faster than Nvidia's if AMD wants them to be

It's just that Nvidia's drivers and features are getting more and more unavoidable for me, while AMD remains unoptimized

[tribal dirge]

Engineering of their silicon, manufacturing process, optimization, drivers, etc.

[cursive summit]

Manufacturing process... that's not Nvidia mate

AMD and Nvidia both manufacture in TSMC now

[tribal dirge]

Their quality control is way different though

[rough osprey]

both not super stable

[tribal dirge]

Apple iGPUs?

[cursive summit]

Nvidia isn't some godsend with failure-proof drivers I'm very aware

[tribal dirge]

No, but certainly better than AMD

[cursive summit]

But the sheer fact that CUDA is a must with some softwares, it's pretty sad

[ashen spindle]

How is amds Engineering worse when they have chiplet gpus now before Nvidia does lol

[cursive summit]

Hey hey, mention that again when they use more than 1 graphics die with that chiplet gpu

[tribal dirge]

Reliability. Albeit Nvidia isnt perfect either

[ashen spindle]

What reliability issue is coming from their engineering?

[cursive summit]

Reliability has got nothing to really do with hardware, just software part is where most gripes are

[tribal dirge]

Could be anything tbh

[ashen spindle]

Ok so you are just randomly speculating

[cursive summit]

Truth be told that whole myth of bad AMD drivers is getting out of hand

They were pretty bad but they are solid rn

[tribal dirge]

They’re just ok.

I had issues with them on both pc and Mac alike.

[cursive summit]

I still hate the fact that I have a piece of software that I have to force use DXVK to work with AMD, or it crashes

[frozen ingot]

right now yes, until they fuck up with the next generation

[ashen spindle]

As for manufacturing process, they currently use the same one in both amd and Nvidia gpus lol

[frozen ingot]

it isn't that amd never gets it right with the drivers, it is that they don't tend to consistently do so

[cursive summit]

Maybe if AMD got their RTG size on par with Nvidia's they could compete properly

[ashen spindle]

That is fair to have the expectation based on past events, but you have to include that currently they have no big issue there

Gotta give them a chance to be consistent at least when they are doing good

Also if we look only at process nodes then last gen Nvidia was way behind amd so that just makes no sense

[carmine forge]

With ABS and PBT key caps

Can I buy the keyboard and then replace the key caps with PBT later if/when they begin to shine too much?

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[carmine forge]

Cool

[ashen spindle]

Oh and speaking of nvidias drivers being better https://twitter.com/videocardz/status/1632692200835366912?s=46&t=bWeQPW8r81zemPS98h41FA

[carmine forge]

Since idk how I'm going to convince my parents that "Hey, can I spend another £18 on top of the £188 for the keyboard to get better key caps?"

[reef patrol]

Then don't for the time being. See if you like how it feels and then revisit the topic months later as an upgrade for your awesome obard.

[reef tundra]

Yes, the wooting keyboard keycaps can be removed very easily. Very nice when they need their washing done

Can even do it by hand but keycap extractor is a better idea, however

[cursive summit]

How many of these is just cause Windows is shite

[tribal dirge]

See this is why I use google coral FPGAs so I can program my own silicon and write my own drivers.

[ashen spindle]

Reverting drivers fixes it so it’s likely not windows related

[reef tundra]

Drivers are truly on the manufacturer

Windows can only start them up and monitor if they are still responding. In terms of managing drivers

[tribal dirge]

Or an Intel HPE R0X82A

[reef tundra]

FPGA's still give me nightmares

Especially Altera

[tribal dirge]

They work so well though, you just need to know how to use em.

[tribal dirge]

Bought them used for about 6k usd a piece

They usually retail for 16k usd

[reef tundra]

I know, but the software..... and documentation Altera has is beyond bad

Xilinx is pretty nice

[tribal dirge]

Yes,

[reef tundra]

Literally, when I try to install the software for Altera my laptop blue screened

It was a warning sign

Software would also completely crash if you changed some setting and used the window close button instead of their custom button that closed that window

[tribal dirge]

Lol

Buy a google coral instead

They’re a lot nicer

And they’re super common amongst beginners

[reef tundra]

Used one of those for my education

[tribal dirge]

In my school we used google coral

And later in the year we moved onto AMD Xilinx Vertex.

I forgot what Vertex FPGA specifically

[shadow minnow]

I wanted to try fpga but rn kinda like feature full mcus more

Just switched from samd21 to stm32h747

[reef tundra]

You have FPGAs with a "hardcore" on the chip

[tribal dirge]

If you want to try one without spending too much, get a google coral.

[reef tundra]

You can also run a "softcore" microprocessor

Like the NIOS 2

[shadow minnow]

I do ll register programming but fossar are a bit too complex for me rn, and don’t know what all would I do with them tbh

[tribal dirge]

Last time I checked their usb accelerator FPGA is like 50 usd

[shadow minnow]

I mean true, but not with a 16 bit 4msps adc

[tribal dirge]

*60 usd

[shadow minnow]

Arduino has a board with samd21 and fpga on board which looks quite interesting as I am used to samd21 programming

[tribal dirge]

I see

[shadow minnow]

But well rn have to figure out why is dual mode not working on stm32h747
Did something wrong with setup but what no idea

Well the adc registers of this mcu already were two days of fun so far

[tribal dirge]

I sure like them, and I make use out of them too!

[tribal dirge]

Albeit they’re a pain sometimes.

[shadow minnow]

3500 page long register manual

[tribal dirge]

And debugging is a nightmare

[shadow minnow]

These registers are too

[tribal dirge]

Oof

[shadow minnow]

But hey it’s a really capable mcu

Just comes with a cost

[tribal dirge]

Oh ofc

[shadow minnow]

Sanity

[tribal dirge]

Lol yeah

[reef tundra]

This one got you covered

Just ehh..

Dont look at the price

[shadow minnow]

100k£?

[reef tundra]

Nah, the lowly price of 15.5k USD

16 week lead time

[tribal dirge]

The Intel one I mentioned costed a little more

But I got ‘em used

[shadow minnow]

Oh that’s fine then, ordering rn /s

[old marlin]

just buy a gsync ultimate monitor for a cheap FPGA

[reef tundra]

https://tinyfpga.com/

[shadow minnow]

Well you can get a 40€ fpga

[reef tundra]

These things seem pretty poggers

[tribal dirge]

Lmao, but there’s almost no way to interface with it without doing some heavy modifications.

[old marlin]

it's an mxm card

so you could make a db to interface with it

[tribal dirge]

I guess

[reef tundra]

If I am paying 15k for an FPGA atleast connect with PCIe to my pc

[tribal dirge]

Max clock speed achieved, not fast enough, then what?

[reef tundra]

Get two clocks

[tribal dirge]

Double data rate CPUs and GPUs anyone?

[shadow minnow]

I am curious about how good the fpga in the arduino board is ngl

Visor 4000

[reef tundra]

https://blog.arduino.cc/2018/05/17/say-hello-to-the-next-generation-of-arduino-boards/?

[tribal dirge]

I NEED ONE!!!!

[tame hedge]

intel/nvidia moment

[reef tundra]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FPGA/comments/x6xgc7/five_legally_free_fpga_books_plus_one_about/

[ashen spindle]

oh also speaking about amd drivers

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-admits-a-very-rare-radeon-driver-bug-may-corrupt-windows-installations

now the funny thing is

it's not even amds fault but its read as if amd had a bug that caused it

windows update was not reading the installed driver correctly and breaking it if updates happend

so on amds side we have a windows update causing issue that gets put on amd, on nvidia we have a driver causing issues and people wonder if its windows fault

shows the mindset people have despite it being quite outdated for either brand xD

[wheat plume]

THen why is the headline saying AMD ADmits a bug in their driver caused it?

AMD really doesnt need any more bad rep LOL

[ashen spindle]

thats the point

people dont look at stuff clearly and have their mind made up

[wheat plume]

.-.

[ashen spindle]

now nvidia still has the better software and all for the most part

but not as big of a gap as most people make it out to be

[vagrant pagoda]

Fam where do you get these memes lol

[zealous lake]

I had windows try to install Nvidia drivers for me.
I'm using Radeon

[wheat plume]

gg windows

[old marlin]

meanwhile nvidia https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-acknowledges-10-cpu-usage-driver-bug-after-exiting-games

[ashen spindle]

yup thats what I linked earlier and meant with people think it could be windows instead of nvidia xd

[old marlin]

because nvidia would never make a bad driver

only amd does that

[wheat plume]

I love how the title for Nvidia's homepage is WORLD LEADERS IN AI

[reef patrol]

I mean they supply a LOT of AI hardware

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

Tesla is massive

Probably half their revenue

[ashen spindle]

yeah

15 billion in computing 11 in graphics

[mossy plinth]

Nvidias CUDA is basically the only solution for AI stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

Because opencl sucks lol

[old marlin]

HIP

[vagrant pagoda]

Also I'm pretty sure they announced that chatgpt uses like 5000 teslas

[mossy plinth]

they recently reduced the computation required for chatgpt iirc

[ashen spindle]

well the training on chatgp was done on volta cards lol

so yes lots of lowering possible with current hardware

[vagrant pagoda]

My bad 30,000 of them

[mossy plinth]

The crazy thing that interests me is that their speech to text model is like half the cost of googles which is wild imo

https://openai.com/blog/introducing-chatgpt-and-whisper-apis

[old marlin]

what

why

[vagrant pagoda]

Training ai is hard

Better training better ai

And they are constantly improving

[ashen spindle]

the big secret behind chatgpt is the massive dataset

[mossy plinth]

With these AI Models they usually run it all on the GPU too and even the open source implementations will use 8gb+ of VRAM just to load an instance so presumably they run a ton of instances at much higher vram to handle all the loads.

But I could be talking out my ass

[ashen spindle]

training that takes a long time since those gpus are working well for it, but are still gpgpus not pure ai training chips

and inference then uses less but other hardware

[reef patrol]

I don't even want think about how much computing power midjourney and such have spent 😄

[ashen spindle]

yeah should've mined crypto instead, does so much more for the world

[vagrant pagoda]

Pfft thing about dlss

[old marlin]

oh wait

I was still confused about the "chatgpt uses x amount of teslas"

you mean nvidia tesla gpus

not tesla cars

[vagrant pagoda]

Lmao

Yes

But Nvidias data set for dlss is likely the largest by far

But it was 100© automated

They just had games run at multiple resolutions and compared

[mossy plinth]

To further add to confusion. Teslas actually use Nvidias iirc.
I remember when I looked into portable cuda enabled hardware solutions there was mentions about Teslas using a form of the Jetson systems.

[vagrant pagoda]

Nvidia has the input and output, so the model just needs to do the intermediate spaghettification

I thought they moved away from Nvidia?

[mossy plinth]

You're correct yeah. I must have looked around or before the changeover in 2018?
Damn time flies

Nvidia still is in the AI car market it seems

[pale sigil]

I don't have my glasses on so I'm going to assume that's a 5800x3d

[sour flicker]

yesss

[pale sigil]

Good good

[empty wren]

So where will the vita go in the pc case

[sour flicker]

:p

also ended up getting the z63 for $160 on amazon

W

[empty wren]

Also good power supply, no coil whine

[sour flicker]

it’s the updated version

so yee no whine

[old marlin]

Still performs worse than an arctic lf ii, esp on amd

Which is also cheaper and has longer warranty

[tame hedge]

What GPU you gonna use? 👀

Wait. Trident royal ram 😭😭 the rig was looking decent a minute ago

[reef patrol]

You take that back right now, Mr. turtle.

[tame hedge]

I shan't. TridentZ royals are some of the worst-looking decent kits of ram available.

Silver non-elite with a non-diamond-esque diffuser would look ok but the diffuser is

[wheat plume]

I love how fancy and clean the NZXT boxes are and then there is the CoolerMaster box slightly battered and dented

[empty wren]

Ups guy be like

[wheat plume]

yeh, cause they get paid on their number of deliveries so they gotta go fast af ;-;

no time to walk in and gently place it on the ground

[final flame]

Are the Nzxt motherboards even good?

I can't trust Nzxt after how much pain they've given me

[reef patrol]

They are decidedly low mid tier.

Rebranded chinese OEM.

[old marlin]

rebranded asrock

lower mid-tier asrock

iirc

[tame hedge]

Phantom gaming iirc

[reef patrol]

Is it ASRock now?

[old marlin]

always was

[tame hedge]

Could be wrong, I'd struggle to care less about nzxt mobos

[reef patrol]

No - They were definitely ECS

[tame hedge]

Never even heard of that company. Guess I'm a baby

[reef patrol]

https://hwbot.org/newsflash/5030_nzxt_enter_motherboard_market_with_n7_z370_(with_ecs_as_oem)/

[old marlin]

oh nvm

orginal ones were ecs

the ones after that were asrock

[tame hedge]

Yeah seems that way

Also the worst bit is

NZXT doesn't really update firmware (at least not with any modicum of urgency)

So they're worse than the original asrocks!

[wheat plume]

When Samsung said they are providing 4 years of Android updates, does that only apply to their flagships? or can you buy a new A series device and get that many updates also?

[empty wren]

Check their schedule thing

Or press release

K know at least the flaships do

[wheat plume]

oooohh

[wheat plume]

these 3 specific A series

oook

[empty wren]

And probably newer ones

[wheat plume]

yeh

[empty wren]

Kinda crazy really

Especially considering Samsung used to have a bloated os and now runs fine

[wheat plume]

still bloated

[empty wren]

Meanwhile google has quite a bit bugs

[wheat plume]

comes with 3 app suites

[empty wren]

And only 3 years

[empty wren]

You can delete some

People seem to forget that

[wheat plume]

you can delete all with ADB :P

but you shouldnt have to

[empty wren]

Well we should be happy that we can

[wheat plume]

true

[empty wren]

I had a lg ls40

4gb of storage

And I could not delete stuff

Without root

[wheat plume]

adb technically runs with root perms

[empty wren]

Well you can at least disable it then

[wheat plume]

o

[empty wren]

Not a big thing on Android ice cream sandwich

[empty wren]

I mean that option by the way

[wheat plume]

could still remove it with ADB most likely

[empty wren]

Well sure

Man I remember the old days

Could use an app for that

Probably not true anymore

[wheat plume]

my first Android version was 4 :')

[empty wren]

Everything is so tightly locked I cannot even tamper with some parts of the os cuz even with root cannot see it on most file managers

And even then changing permissions to rw becomes difficult

[empty wren]

Same

I used to have a copycat s3

But then I deleted the wrong file and the phone was soft bricked with me having no idea how to fix it

[wheat plume]

my first Android device was a Nexus 7 2013 tablet xd

[empty wren]

Damn that is nice one

[wheat plume]

so I got stock android, and it was super smooth

[wheat plume]

ikr :D charged mega slow though ;-; its only downside

[empty wren]

I remember wanting a nexus 6P for the longest time

[wheat plume]

even had NFC and wireless charging !! which I didnt use back then

[empty wren]

Then a week after it was behaving weird so it got warrantied out for a Pixel XL which out the time was brand new

[empty wren]

Yeah I remember that wireless charger

It was tiny

[wheat plume]

I used that tablet a lot, cause I had a Windows phone... so any apps I couldnt get or find an alternative for, I got on my tablet instead

[empty wren]

I used to use tablets as well

One with android market my sister broke it

And another with android 4

[wheat plume]

Android Market?

[empty wren]

I was gonna repair the port but I ended up breaking the screen

[empty wren]

Prehistoric market

Came before app store

And play store

[wheat plume]

o.o

ohh

[empty wren]

Tablets were okay anyways

Honestly what is missing on today's android tablets is the software

Like Samsung has dex

But even then having full Photoshop like ipad is would be mighty helpful in coaxing people

In fact all other companies mostly gave up

Like there are Chinese tablets out there

And also android boxes seemed to have died

Once again Chinese ones exist

So much of the android landscape has really changed

[wheat plume]

My friend is convinced his Google account got broken into a few weeks after he logged into a random chinese tablet

he got it off Amazon LOL

[empty wren]

I mean

There is a chance their password was leaked or not good enough

This is why 2FA should be set up

[empty wren]

I have had Turks steal my ea origins account

Due to a bad password

[wheat plume]

O.o

welp

[empty wren]

Regardless even Android does not have good tablets these days

At least foldables exist

And if anything once the price gets down

Having a phone and decent sized tablet is quite nice

[wheat plume]

I really love that on the Huawei tablet, you can sort of lay the tablet on a surface and bend the screen so the bottom half still flat on the surface turns into a keyboard to type on

[empty wren]

[wheat plume]

and then the top contains the app

[empty wren]

Tablet to laptop

[wheat plume]

yes!

[empty wren]

Oh yeah Lenovo has a concept maybe even a product for that too

[wheat plume]

Yeah, but thats a laptop :P

[empty wren]

Regardless I would not want to use a on screen keyboard for anything beyond a phone

[wheat plume]

if it was almost as large as a regular ...say 60% board, id be mostly fine with it

[empty wren]

Well glad being a flat plane just feels weird

[wheat plume]

like when im typing in product names to search for them in Argos on their touchscreens, the kleyboard is large enoughf or me to sort of type like a keyboard

[empty wren]

Even a low profile laptop keyboard feels miles better

Just for the feel of some distance

[wheat plume]

Yeah, for sure

even the damn touchpads on the Steam Deck feel nice to type on cause they have a sort of Force Touch effect to them when you click

they dont physically move but it really feels like they do

[empty wren]

Eh that feels wrong too

Like I get what they are trying to do

With solid state

But buttons can last a long time

[wheat plume]

this game is so perfect for the Steam Deck <3 <3 and the annoying visual glitches got solved with new proton GE versions :D

[empty wren]

I had a bad password that could be found with a dictionary attack+ guessing the number 1

It was dumb

[wheat plume]

[old marlin]

[empty wren]

I lost my amc theater gift cards due to using that password in duplicate places

Lol you live and you learn

[misty saffron]

Originally YAML was said to mean Yet Another Markup Language

[wheat plume]

yeh I know xd

freaking Kubernetes is strange... in the manifest deployment yaml, can I only have a maximum amount of replicas to physical nodes?

apparently not

[misty saffron]

doing random stupid shit with the keyboard in your passwords is a decent idea

or cyrillic

[empty wren]

Already doing that

But Cyrillic is an interesting idea

[misty saffron]

or, even better, english words with cyrillic layout enabled

best of both worlds

[fading canyon]

Kind of non relevant but does anyone know where to find replacement skates for the g pro wireless?

Mine are chipping away and it doesn’t glide the best

[marsh glade]

Logitech right? They're pretty chill about shipping replacement parts within warranty if you bug them about it directly

To the point where if they don't have the parts they'll just ship a new unit without much bother

[cursive summit]

Lancaster Sound... that's a successor to their "Arctic Sound" thing?

[fading canyon]

Yes

[cursive summit]

Ahh Falcon was their hybrid thing they announced last year

Was actually sounding compelling

But with their financial situation worsening, might be on the backburner as it doesn't seem like a primary product

[fading canyon]

I’ll see about it

Since the glide on the skates is getting worse

To where it’s noticeable

[fading canyon]

Thanks for the help

thats

[ashen spindle]

makes sense, its about python

[fair gull]

love it when you hate a product because you as an enduser are too stupid to configure the software

is PEP8 a good styling convention probably yes.

do you need to follow it? no

can you disable specific hints or all? yes and yes

[ashen spindle]

So it’s a rambling about default settings?

[fair gull]

yes

its someone hating a pretty good IDE for default settings

[ashen spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-pikachu-pokemon-shock-surprised-pikachu-gif-15357817

[old marlin]

Which are objectively good settings

[fair gull]

ya as i said id say they are probably good

usually more than 1 person decide on coding styles like PEP8

[ashen spindle]

lololol all the comments are like "this is why pycharm is good"

[ashen spindle]

ok now that I watched it, what exactly is the issue you think that exists? that warnings might come pre-emptively because the editor wont know when you write the next line of code?

yup. Packaged a shit opinion as humour, so they can say it's a joke when people point out how dumb their opinion is

[ashen spindle]

yeah it being source 2 makes sense, was supposed to come years ago already

[gusty kiln]

if only TF2 could get source 2

it doesn't even get anything atm

[ashen spindle]

if only TF2 could get anything in the last 10 year

[final flame]

Nah doesn't work

[wheat plume]

With the amount of changes to the taskbar during the last few updates
It probably won't work

[shadow minnow]

[empty wren]

Awesome just awesome

[pale sigil]

hmmm, freedom fiber have offered to give me fiber 500 up and down for free for 6 months.... which means i can run it alongside my current connection which is in contract till Dec.

Do i take the offer and switch after 6 months hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[marsh glade]

Tell them to sign you up but not start your service until your other contract expires

Or they buy you out of your contract value plus the free six months

Otherwise there's 0 point to the free six months if you use them up while you're paying for other internet 😂

[ashen spindle]

Nah the point is you get better internet for free while tied to the old provider

Since you can’t really cancel the old one you still get the new one but don’t pay twice, if it’s better and you are ok with a longer minimum runtime that works out well

If they are some shit isp you want to leave after 6 months the cycle repeats though

[pale sigil]

I renew every 18 monts to keep the price down

atm i pay for 380/30 for 34 quid.

They are after 6 months 35 for 500/500

but also 40 quid for gigabit vs 65 quidc on my current isp

[ashen spindle]

just check that it's not some small startup that dies in a few months and you're screwed

[pale sigil]

oh its not, its a government backed one in partnership with Talk Talk

Its essnetially to push everyone to using fiber and remove any copper networks.

also my friend is on it

https://www.freedomfibre.com/

[empty wren]

Lucky

[ashen spindle]

I mean backed by the uk gov doesn't really mean much in my eyes 😛

its probably a good things just gotta watch out that you dont end up with some annoying side issues

[pale sigil]

no isp is perfect tbf

"lots"

[ashen spindle]

yup turns out its actually not that hard or expensive to run good internet infrastructure and big isps for decades have just taken government money and put it to shit

[mild dome]

Here in Aus we were meant to get a full fibre network.
Then people voted for the onion man leading to the project getting a massive downgrade

[fair gull]

is that why youre internet is so expensive but honestly often trash

[crimson wigeon]

And then scuffed games like star citizen have them filled with players from other regions because lower pop servers work significantly better

[reef patrol]

Look - They chose to settle halfway across the planet from civilization. It has costs 😄

[fair gull]

be the change

[shadow minnow]

Oh that’s unfortunate, samd21 registers mentioning high speed usb mode was just a documentation bug.

[reef patrol]

I wish Windows would enforce window snapping on all apps using it. So tired of apps like Spotify refusing to remember snap states, leaving me to literally having to drag them pixel by pixel to the edge 😄

[mossy plinth]

I just use PowerTools FancyZones for the pefect window snapping

[reef patrol]

At this point I've just disabled snapping entirely, since it's so hit or miss.

Some apps will remember their position, others refuse to. Even if just minimized.

My Chrome window always offsets slightly to the right, so every time I open it I have to push it back into the side.

[halcyon moss]

absolutely none of this is about pycharm.

this is all about pycharm warning, nothing more, about pep8, which most of it can be auto formatted with ctrl alt L

and pep8 is bea

or the goat as younglings say these days or something

[ashen spindle]

did you mean bea or bae?

[halcyon moss]

idk, i dont keep up with these

[carmine forge]

I think we pay about £45 for 500/500 but we also have our TV license thing included through that

Only thing is I'm only getting about 120/80 on my desktop upstairs even though we've routed a direct ethernet line from the modem downstairs to my desktop upstairs using a 20m cable and taking it outside the house along the wall

[wheat plume]

60 dollars, hhmm

I dont need more storage xd

[halcyon moss]

this is with these boards.. what are you going to run on it?

is it kept up to date?

[wheat plume]

you can do a lot on these, NAS, Media Server, Emulation etc

[tribal dirge]

Get an orange pi.

[reef patrol]

NAS... with SD cards.

[wheat plume]

external drive xd

plug in with USB

[reef patrol]

Just no. No Lana.

[wheat plume]

xd

[halcyon moss]

thats to easy of an answer. can you run ubuntu on it? unmodified? does it require manual patches? who maintains this?

[wheat plume]

Its by KHADAS,

I know they make a lot of boards like this

[frozen ingot]

256gb system drive

[wheat plume]

bold of you to assume that I have a router

[reef patrol]

Lana uses hotspot on phone.

[wheat plume]

Yeah

I have no other choices

[halcyon moss]

is this board going to be basically be scrap because of lack of software support?

[wheat plume]

Everything else is too expensive and has data limits

[reef patrol]

I mean you could buy a proper 4G/5G router. 😄

And a 2nd sim card.

[wheat plume]

i doubt it, KHADAS seem to support them pretty well but as for third party support, im not sure yet

thats the major advantage of PIs

[halcyon moss]

indeed

[wheat plume]

Data limits :/

I cant get the plan I have on my phone for a sim router

[halcyon moss]

its a sim card right? jyust plonk it in there

[wheat plume]

what about texts and calls?

[reef patrol]

Does your carrier not allow for a 2nd SIM? That's pretty oldschool and backwards.

[wheat plume]

idk man

[reef patrol]

Then maybe ASK them do you DO know, man.

[wheat plume]

xd

[halcyon moss]

this method lana is using is probably against the terms :p

[wheat plume]

when I get a car, I will go in a ask

[reef patrol]

Having a 2nd SIM for an iPad or something similar is quite normal.

To get reception while on vacation.

[wheat plume]

yeah....but havent been stopped yet xd

[halcyon moss]

if its working.. who cares 🙂

[wheat plume]

it works for wifi.... but I cant host servers or whatever on it :/

cause I cant assign static IPs or port forward

[halcyon moss]

android support thetering over usb too

[wheat plume]

yeh I know

[halcyon moss]

oof. thats quite a bit for 4/5g

[wheat plume]

4G

I have to pay 10 euro extra per month for 5G

and only 15GB of 5G

O.o

[tribal dirge]

I have optical fiber lmao.

[wheat plume]

HOW TF IS THIS GNOME DESKTOP?????

[reef patrol]

Aaaand topic change.

[tribal dirge]

Mid, uptime is only 8hrs.

[wheat plume]

There is fiber in our "neighbourhood" but its got a data limit on every plan except the most expensive one

and that costs about 70 a month

the 30 euro plan has 60gb limit

[solemn remnant]

I'd have to pay like 10k to get fiber to my house

[wheat plume]

I very clearly hit them @prisma crag

[tribal dirge]

For us it’s about 300 usd per month for business internet. Consumer one sucks ass.

[wheat plume]

o.o

yes, but my current plan via phone hotspot is 20 a month for unlimited data

[solemn remnant]

if there was an existing cabling here, then it'd be just 250€ to join and 29,99/mo for 1GB/1GB

[wheat plume]

I save 50 a month with this

I havent noticed any throttling yet

tbf, im likely the only one anywhere near me using this much data

so its not very congested

[tribal dirge]

For me it’s practically unlimited, haven’t been throttled yet.

[wheat plume]

They dont throttle business plans...Id hope anyway

[halcyon moss]

depends on what you buy

[wheat plume]

Yeh, thats how they trick you :/

[halcyon moss]

its in the terms, always

[wheat plume]

my provider is the only one without that shit

I did research xd

[tribal dirge]

Nahhh, no way

[wheat plume]

huh?

you can only use Ethernet?

[halcyon moss]

for business fiber it all about stability.
no overbooking, great hardware, support

that too. static IP

which is quite expensive these days

at home i had a "business" connection with an IP.
but they were getting rid of that plan, and the new plans with static ips were substantially more expensive 😦

[wheat plume]

sounds about right :/

so their home internet is just 4G in a proper router?

....wow ok

does that router support all the same features a regular one does?

such as forwarding and static IPs and shit?

[reef patrol]

That entirely depends on the carrier. Probably not.

[halcyon moss]

home internet is usally static. maybe that alows them the estimate better.. but its most likely to be able to compete

[reef patrol]

But this is exactly what I ducking suggested you to buy further up, if you could get a second SIM 😄

[wheat plume]

The router we had during college was the best router

[carmine forge]

Wait so what's the difference between factory and hand lubing your keyboard?

[wheat plume]

could automatically log into to my DDND provider to send it IP changes

[wheat plume]

lubed out of the box vs you take the switches out and do it yourself

[carmine forge]

Yes but any difference in quality?

[wheat plume]

not really, ddepends on how much lube they apply

[reef patrol]

Hand lubing typically covers more parts.

[carmine forge]

Since I saw Mansen replying to a previous post in #1019723042244534282

#1066803760136982590 message

This message specifically

[reef patrol]

So why not just ask there?

Oi vey!

[carmine forge]

Fair enough

Just assumed it would have been closed/forgotten about

[reef patrol]

Well if you reply it magically gets unforgotten 😄

[carmine forge]

True true

I'm just not used to using threads because very few servers I'm in use them (apart from this one there's like 2 I know of)

Well yeah my next question was going to be how often do I need to lube it?

Like once every 6 months?

[reef patrol]

I think it's a great case of "you don't know you need it till you've tried". I was skeptical as well until I actually lubed mine. And comparing it to stock boards I've had in for RMA, it's a world of difference to me.

[carmine forge]

Well idk how fast it dries out

I live in the UK

[reef patrol]

Once.

[mossy plinth]

My condolences

[carmine forge]

So maritime and temperate

[carmine forge]

Yeah one of the reasons my parents are advising me not to get a motorcycle XD

Oh ok fair enough

[mossy plinth]

I'd say to just take one switch off every few months and see if it's up to your "lubing" standard

[carmine forge]

I'm still new to mechanical keyboards in the sense of understanding some things

[carmine forge]

And how do I tell that?

Was just curious so that I could align lubing my keyboard with when I take my desktop apart every 4-6 months

[wheat plume]

yes but you dont need to :P

[carmine forge]

And by take apart I mean just opening the tempered glass panels and cleaning dust

[carmine forge]

Yeah ik now lol

Also sidenote

Does having my OS on the same drive as all my games affect it's boot speed in any significant way?

[wheat plume]

as long as its not nearly to full capacity, then it shouldnt

[halcyon moss]

i clean my dust filter once a year.. thats it! :p

[carmine forge]

Since I only have a 1TB 970 Pro and I'll probs upgrade and install a 2TB for games or another 1 TB for games

It's mainly dust

I don't have space for it on my desk so it sits on the floor outside next to my desk and my room gets quite dusty

[wheat plume]

aha, I have a 2TB for games and 1TB for media and then a 256 for my OS

[carmine forge]

Like enough that you can swipe your finger and get a noticeable amount on it from one of the meshes on the side of the case after 1-2 weeks

Ah got it

Yeah see my old PC

[mossy plinth]

lubing switches requires you to take apart each switch itself into its components

[carmine forge]

I built it and never opened it again in the 7 years I had it

Well that's somewhat a lie

My dad opened it once when I was away and cleared the dust from it about 3 years ago

But that was it iirc

No new paste or anything else lol

[mossy plinth]

lubing a keyboard is time consuming and not everybody feels the need to do it

[carmine forge]

It held out pretty well until about June 2022 where it was just becoming too hard to play some games or even run them

[reef patrol]

Yeah it took me 4½ hours or so for my 60HE.

[carmine forge]

But now that I actually understand stuff more as opposed to my 10 year old self I'm going to try to take more care of it

[carmine forge]

Do you need to lube all the components in that

Or just the spring itself?

[reef patrol]

Depends on your preference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY

Calder shows two techniques here.

[carmine forge]

Petition to change the name to this

Pretty sure youtube auto captions has the right ideas

No but I know how lube works lol

[wheat plume]

TIL VS Code on Windows tried to install Python from the Windows Store if it cant find it installed on your computer already

.-.

[mossy plinth]

You'll spend a good few hours lubing a keyboard btw

[carmine forge]

Graphite is used as a solid lubricant in certain places

Yeah

Or when it's not viable to use liquid lube

Like at high temps

Lol ik

[mossy plinth]

Or a car, eitherway both require regular maintenance

[carmine forge]

Found a nice yamaha yzf-r125 2019 for £3k which only had about 14k miles on it

[carmine forge]

Yeah ik

I mean tbh - most people don't maintain most things that are recommended to be maintained at set intervals

Like mousepads as well, hinges on doors etc.

[mossy plinth]

Meanwhile I'm maintaining my car one week before it's MOT

[carmine forge]

XD

[wheat plume]

VS CODE CAN PLAY VIDEOS WTF

[mossy plinth]

Wait till you find out that VS Code is just a glorified browser app just like discord

[carmine forge]

Fun

[wheat plume]

yeh, I know its Electron

[carmine forge]

I'm watching the lubing video and I just freak out each time Calder pulls the keycaps

Just feel like I'm going to break something

Clean them how

Like just the top of them or fully including around the switches

Got it

I'll probs just test out taking apart my current keyboard to get more confident before doing it on that

Since I'll be keeping it as a spare in case I need it or I want to lube the wooting in two sessions and want to use my desktop

Anyway gtg now but I'll check back in an hour or so :P

I'm still unsure what keycaps I should go for

kinda tempted by frosted, ps1 or black and white 🤔

I'm not really a big custom keycap fan. Got my dream set when I bought my first mech keeb but I want something new

so this brings you pain?

I just like the PS1 colour scheme

[halcyon moss]

i though mac actually quite heavely used the 3 mod keys

[frozen ingot]

I want to like 65/70 layouts but I'm a right shift user

[mossy plinth]

Seems to be like £160~ for a keyset like above so I might just stick with something boring

Gonna go back to my meme keycap set up and just mixup a black keyset and a white keyset

I'm a Windows/Debian user so no harm but I am unfortunately British so I'll need the big ol' enter key so an accent kit would be needed

Yeah it kinda is because it forces you to have a non-grey iso enter

[reef patrol]

That's how they get you to buy it, so they can get a better MOQ price 😄

[solemn remnant]

[old marlin]

[reef patrol]

Ah yes - The SNES colour scheme 😄

[old marlin]

totally a snes

[reef patrol]

Never had a gamecube (or seen one in the purple colour at that), so this is what I see 😄

[old marlin]

the worse snes color scheme

[solemn remnant]

the fuck is that SNES even

did denmark have that?

[old marlin]

that is the NA one

[solemn remnant]

oh yah the casing in EU is completely different

[reef patrol]

The US market was afraid of game consoles, so Nintendo had a design that was more neutral and closer to Hifi and VCR equipment. This is much more obvious on the NES.

[solemn remnant]

I thought I've seen plenty of NA snes', don't think I've seen that color scheme though

[reef patrol]

That's what they looked like in the US.

[solemn remnant]

so weird

[old marlin]

meanwhile russia

[solemn remnant]

ooh a link to cosmopolitan

[reef patrol]

While I don't mind the look of the EU/JAP SNES, I think the US one is the superior one personally.

[old marlin]

that thing even had removable controllers

[reef patrol]

I even used to have a Raspberry Pi 3 with a custom case like it.

[old marlin]

unlike the japanese one

[mossy plinth]

What if the controller was the console though...

May I introduce the iQue, the chinese N64

[old marlin]

that's just to bypass chinese laws about consoles

btw that thing runs the best version for mario speedruns iirc

[reef patrol]

Kind of miss it ngl. It even had a mount for a small fan and a script you could add to the Pi bootup, so the buttons would actually power and reset.

[solemn remnant]

where's the other analog stick

[old marlin]

?

the N64 only had one

[reef patrol]

Very well designed interior.

[final flame]

Kids these days

[solemn remnant]

wtf again

[wheat plume]

LOL

[solemn remnant]

oh wait I'm thinking about gamecube now

dementia hitting in

[solemn remnant]

anyway that's a better controller layout imo, always hated the middle stick

[final flame]

I mean the N64 controller was designed to be held from the middle

[old marlin]

just a problem for people that didn't have one as a child

[old marlin]

you can also just grab from the sides for some games

[final flame]

Well ones that use the dpad more often

[solemn remnant]

yeah in some titles you had to use the dpad and the stick, so it was a mess

[old marlin]

not really?

like

don't know of a game that made you swap grips mid game

[final flame]

games are designed with the controller and control scheme in mind, if there was a issue it'd be discovered in playtesting

[solemn remnant]

Mischief Makers

also if you used middle grip, how'd you access the L button

some pro wrestling games used both

Duke Nukem 64

Doom 64

there's a lot actually

[old marlin]

you'd use Z

[reef patrol]

Imagine playing Nintendo 64 games ON the N64. Couldn't imagine it (loads up emulators and a 360 controller)

[old marlin]

neither nintendo or microsft could get that right

[reef patrol]

I'll die on that hill. Microsoft's controllers are the best around to this date. Sony, Nintendo and the others can go take a hike 😄

[old marlin]

no like

the goleneye rerelease

[wheat plume]

I agree...Xbox controller supremacy

[old marlin]

has horrible mapping

[final flame]

I also prefer the Xbox stick layout

[old marlin]

and the xbox version has it so bad you can't even beat dev times

[reef patrol]

That's more of a game dev issue if anything 😄

[old marlin]

well

was possible on an n64

it's a horrible port

good controller doesn't fix everything

[solemn remnant]

you have all the buttons on the wooting, fix'd

[old marlin]

xbox version doesn't give you access to the c buttons

which are the fastest movement option in the game

[final flame]

The gulikit controller is probably my favorite controller that has been released

[old marlin]

same

eh

that is how people used to play all console games

Well, I don’t know what’s your previous GPU. But it’s worth to celebrate that you can afford one in these troubled times

GTX 970

What's wrong with Intel's VR?

[desert creek]

I will say no more.

Let the gaming begin

[final flame]

Am currently using mouse on Android

[cursive summit]

I am relatively sure I heard of Intel's iGPUs running VR

[desert creek]

Remember to update your drivers

[cursive summit]

How did Intel fuck up dGPUs not to run VR?

[empty wren]

Yep definitely want to do that

[desert creek]

Because it’s Intel 🤣

[cursive summit]

Intel is more competent than any of us

I am interested cause I don't remember reading about vr issues

[desert creek]

They have been living on their high horses for so long. They don’t know what people do with their computers these days

[shadow kettle]

Anyone have a good pbt keycap set that they’d recommend?

[empty wren]

Try akko

[desert creek]

Can you be more specific? Good is different to everyone

[ashen spindle]

because how does that relate at all

[desert creek]

I got a set of ducky’s and a set of puddings from steel series

[cursive summit]

Something really cheap like HyperX double-shot pbts are just fine

You don't need to overspend

[ashen spindle]

also doesnt fit, its not liike they forgot or never thought about using vr with it, it just has issues

[cursive summit]

Same drivers..?

iGPUs and dGPUs are unified, if iGPUs can run VR how can dGPUs not

[ashen spindle]

the drivers are not the same because the hardware is not the same

[cursive summit]

How are they not the same if the generic Intel dGPU driver is literally the recommended one for my 11th gen iGPU

[shadow kettle]

Thick preferably multi color

[astral haven]

The drivers are not the driver installer

A single driver installer contains many drivers

[cursive summit]

I downloaded a specific build

Which was the same one as the dGPU one

[ashen spindle]

hardware isnt even made on the same node why would it be the same

[astral haven]

If it's an exe or MSI, it's an installer, not the actual driver itself

[desert creek]

First delaying the release for a year, then drivers issues , having problems till this day. I call it a miss during QC and missing targets during dev.

[astral haven]

Heck many drivers use a loading driver where it installs a generic driver, then that generic driver loads the correct driver

[ashen spindle]

keep in mind they had driver devs in russia so they literally had to get people out of there for the start of the war to get it ready which adde delay

[desert creek]

You know that these products has been in development for quite some time.

[astral haven]

The drivers can only really be worked on after the hardware is complete

And hardware errata is a big problem

Also
Ark has zero pre dx12/vulkan handling hardware/microcode
It's all handled in software by the driver

[reef patrol]

ARK? The game?
