[harsh ether]

you can just press the number button

[rough osprey]

fr

[harsh ether]

something you'd just get used to anyways

[lyric hatch]

Or I have them displayed already so I don't need to hit an extra button to type them and to go back to typing letters

[rough osprey]

pressing buttons is fun

[lyric hatch]

It's cool that apple wants that on their keyboard but it doesn't even let you have one on third party keyboards

Also they shrink the spacebar when typing in the search bar so.you.type.like.this

[harsh ether]

spacebar size doesnt change on apple when typing

[rough osprey]

which searchbar

[harsh ether]

wdym

[unkempt lake]

do you guys even bother with periods

[harsh ether]

not on discord or texting lmao

[rough osprey]

atleast the webbrowser keyboard has a .

[unkempt lake]

Like i swear i never use them on discord

I may use an ?

[unkempt lake]

But a . Unless i type ...

[rough osprey]

lol

[harsh ether]

the ios spacebar size doesnt actually change in browser, it takes some space from the enter button

[lyric hatch]

Must have fixed it since I last used iOS I stand corrected

[harsh ether]

i wouldnt know

[unkempt lake]

Actually maybe its because of your dictation button

[harsh ether]

i dont use my phone for complex things

[unkempt lake]

YES I REMEMBER

I USED TO DISABLE IT ON LIKE MY IPHONE 6

[harsh ether]

oh also my number button is smaller to make way for the emoji button

[unkempt lake]

WAY WAY BACK THEN

[harsh ether]

since i have the keyboard swapper where the emoji would be

it literally just swaps between ancient greek keeb and english

[rough osprey]

when they adding the newer keyboard to discord...

[pastel galleon]

sideloading is something i definitely love, can't ever give it up

[unkempt lake]

you are giving it up xd

google said so

[pastel galleon]

what about graphene

[empty wren]

Honestly signing apps is not that crazy

Though that does mean apps can die like iOS versions potentially

Though that said not like rolling back app versions is ez anyways

Pretty sure it requires root from what I remember

That said with an unlocked bootloader I would likely expect some advanced behavior anyways

[halcyon moss]

I don't want to need to unlock my bootloader

[umbral heron]

is sideloading on iOS, because people had to circumvent Apple measures
on Android is just installing

come to think of it... there's always HarmonyOS based on Android

[harsh ether]

arch going good

[halcyon moss]

thats a full screen youtube. no arch in sight

[umbral heron]

Bold of you to assume it's a full screen YT and not that the Plasma crashed again

[crimson wigeon]

Entry level spec going hard this year

[halcyon moss]

its a good (but late) upgrade

[thick elk]

I would not call it entry level though.

[halcyon moss]

are you missing an n't ?

[thick elk]

Yea... that not was missing.

[nimble arch]

I suppose the iPhone 16e is the entry level model

But for a base spec, new phone… the iPhone 17 is very good value.

[rough osprey]

in the US

[thick elk]

I mean the wider phone landscape. were are stoll talking pixel pro, edge ultra level of pricing.

[rough osprey]

256gb pixel pro bit more

evil apple not making 128gb anymore...

[thick elk]

Pixel is a bit cheaper here, also forgot google had a base model with a miniscule 128gb version

[rough osprey]

128gb is more then enough

[umbral heron]

If you are not storing music then sure

[rough osprey]

enough to store my spotify songs

[thick elk]

I think if you only store pictures you take install apps, even then 256gb is much more comfortable.
I don't play games don't have a lot of apps and notice that pictures / apps easily go past what remains on a 128gb device. I think for most 256GB on lower end models as a baseline and 512GB on higher end ones makes sense. Mind you I bought a € 250 phone with 256GB in 2021, almost half a decade ago.

As for my situation
For local music alone, I use 400GB (could compress down to 150ish).
So want at least 500GB and am comfortable on the 1TB I have now (had a micro-sd before)

[nimble arch]

I'm currently using 100GB out of 512GB on my phone.

[rough osprey]

im using 60gb rn lol

[nimble arch]

Which is a year old.

[rough osprey]

images / videos on icloud

but even those are below 50gb

[nimble arch]

A large portion of that 100GB is downloaded music from Apple Music.

[rough osprey]

400gb is crazy

for music

like how many songs is that

[thick elk]

It's mostly about it sucking they are so stingy with more storage. Running out of it is just annoying, if you offer a premium experience, make sure to offer enough storage for users to be comfortable on it, especially since the price of storage, not too large. you have 512GB budget models right now.

[rough osprey]

the pricing is dumb ye

but id prefer having small options still

[nimble arch]

There was a time when Instagram and Discord, for some reason, would have insanely high storage usage for caching purposes. Both apps have seemingly fixed this with updates but I recall a few years back both using over 50GB of my device storage.

[lyric hatch]

new base iPhone looks good because apple purposefully held back features on their base model for a loooong time

[rough osprey]

240hz iphone next year

[thick elk]

Realistically pricing could be something like this:
1TB 849
512GB 799
256GB 785
128GB 784

At which point if you don't use it as an upsell, lower storage variants make little sense.

[lyric hatch]

also apple taking away the plus means if you want a larger iphone you have to get the scuffed air or go all the way up to a pro max

[rough osprey]

maybe bit more them that

[umbral heron]

Around the same here, but that's why I pick phones with microSD, I can just pop it, put it in new one and I have whole music collection back

[rough osprey]

but ye the storage is cheap

[thick elk]

Just checked 10599 tracks or 39 days, 23:21:41
Actually just 370GB

[nimble arch]

I'm already on the Pro Max

[rough osprey]

everyone making it expensive so it probably gonna stay that way

[nimble arch]

Plus side is the much larger battery capacity

[thick elk]

I use syncthing nowadays, on a Motorola Edge 50 Ultra. I do like having a decent camera and with gcam on top it really is quite good.

[rough osprey]

i dont think i have heard 10000 different tracks in my life

[thick elk]

I don't regularly listen to all, but definitely listened to 99% at least once and the majority of artists I definitely listen to yea.

[rough osprey]

thats like a month of music

im way too picky for that xd

[thick elk]

I would say rarely repeat the same albums within a month, or if I do I am just hooked for a bit and don't listen to them for at least a couple of months.I found my niche but am picky about it in my own way. Years of gathering helps.

I don't like to repeat the same thing too often.

[rough osprey]

ye i also dont really repeat stuff over a long amount of time

but find it hard to find new stuff sometimes

[thick elk]

I also average around 7 hours of music listening a day maybe

[rough osprey]

so i just don't listen to music that much in the end xf

mostly when like gaming

or traveling

long train ride + anc + music

best combo

[thick elk]

Hmm it is a good combo for sure, but for me also working, or when doing chores, exercise at home, or something else than gaming and/or watching youtube.

[dull hollow]

Average long train ride in NYC involves someone setting the trash on fire inside the tunnels

[rough osprey]

i mean more like long distance ones

[dull hollow]

Yeah Ik lmao, js joking with wat happened the other day

[rough osprey]

sounds normal for nyc

[nimble arch]

TfL have been quite slow with deploying 4G/5G in the tunnel sections of London Underground. I would otherwise just not bother locally downloading music onto my phone.

[dull hollow]

Both trains I take to go to college got delayed due to that but I was already in the city by then

[thick elk]

What do you use for discovery?
I personally just look around rate your music, youtube, maybe similar artists lists elsewhere.

As for garbage can fires, last I seen it was someone at work being an idiot.

[rough osprey]

i think mostly youtube

dont even really use spotify on the desktop xd

but the algorithm is quite good there

just likes to repeat stuff sometimes

[umbral heron]

not sure if you can

[old marlin]

surely that will run locally, right?

[crimson wigeon]

Do it

[grave cave]

yall what mouse i should buy under 200$

[umbral heron]

Viper v3 Pro, DeathAdder v4 Pro, WLMouse, Pulsar, Lamzu, your choice

[rough osprey]

Superlight 2c

[old marlin]

Deathadder v3 hyperspeed

[rough osprey]

or better go into a store and try some out to see what u like

[old marlin]

that is such a stupid mouse

[rough osprey]

and then research

[nimble arch]

GPX2

[rough osprey]

i love it

[nimble arch]

[old marlin]

also if you want a GPX2 just wait a few weeks until the replacement is out

[umbral heron]

Just don't buy Finalmouse (questionable QC) and Glorious (notorious for double clicking issues)

[old marlin]

so you can either save money or buy the new thing (which might suck)

[rough osprey]

huh

[old marlin]

the the superstrike

or whatever it is called

ugly af btw

[rough osprey]

early 2026

and probably not cheap

[old marlin]

wait I thought it was Q4

nvm then, GPW shape will always be garbage anyways

they chould have been cooking with the compact but instead chose to make it bad

[rough osprey]

my two favorite shapes ever

why they lying

[umbral heron]

Deathadder best shape

[old marlin]

that looks so ass

[rough osprey]

which one

[old marlin]

eh, there is not one deathadder shape

[rough osprey]

its not pretty yup

[old marlin]

I gotta say I much prefer the hyperspeed over the v3 pro

have not tried the v4 but I doubt I will prefer it

and old deathadder is just plain bad shape for me

[umbral heron]

v3

[old marlin]

but v3 is just EC1 shape if it wasn't bad

(can't say razer cloned it cause the EC1 is inspired by the habu)

[marsh glade]

Finally a second use for onions other than cleaning the grill!

[rough osprey]

what is this marketing man 😭

power of 8 technology 🔥

[old marlin]

I think they wanna appeal to chinese people idk

the sensor specs are bs anyways and will prob result in even worse actual performance

[vapid ruin]

I can see that

[marsh glade]

Ain't no way it can withstand 88gs

[rough osprey]

they really be going to pixart like "yoo we really like 8 "

[old marlin]

they don't use pixart

[rough osprey]

since when

[old marlin]

idk like 7 years

I think more even

they had their own custom sensors for over a decade

g305 and 603 where the first gaming mice with a hero sensor

I forgot if the g203 with the 1855/robin/mercury was before that

I think the internal working name for the hero sensor was batman but idk

but they did like 2 minor hardware revisions to the hero since the g305/603

and like numerous software revisions that overall tended to make the actual sensor performance worse but increased the usually marketed with numbers

[rough osprey]

oh its em microelectronic

[old marlin]

they manufacture (part) of them

entire packaged was assembled elsewhere, forgot the name

[rough osprey]

https://www.swatchgroup.com/de/swatch-group/innovation-powerhouse/internet-things/em-microelectronic-logitech-g

[old marlin]

but as far as I can tell the actual sensor development is inhouse

provided key opto-electronic ICs

aka they manufacture

that is their deal

[rough osprey]

very european mice lol

[old marlin]

afaik sensor packaging actually happens in taiwan lol

also the ones they show are the lower tier 1855 ones

[rough osprey]

do you have testing for that

[old marlin]

they might have done their older office sensors that htey made inhouse

[old marlin]

not on hand

[rough osprey]

id believe their polling rate increase might not be that stable

[old marlin]

but they lost repeatability dpi deviation etc by marginable amounts

[old marlin]

only wired mice have stable polling rate

[rough osprey]

is rtings good enough for that

[old marlin]

basically any modern wireless sensor will have dynamic fps

[umbral heron]

Almost Gemini... Almost

[old marlin]

hell no

[old marlin]

so close yet so far

[rough osprey]

but they suck

[old marlin]

yea but those can have fixed polling rate

otherwise they just drain battery life

[rough osprey]

do they actually use it tho

[old marlin]

wdym

like a razer viper 8k is at fixed 18kfps so it can actually hit 8khz polling at quite low speeds

[rough osprey]

oh you mean for sensor

[old marlin]

ah sorry said it wrong

wireless mice might have stable polling rate

but not sensor fps

[rough osprey]

i was just talking about connection polling rate not being that stable at like 8k and stuff

[old marlin]

lowered sensor fps would behave like that as well

[rough osprey]

although does it really matter...

[old marlin]

eh

idk, does it feel good to use

imo is the main question

if you wanna minmax then wtf are you doing with a wireless mouse

wired is always gonna be faster even if it is marginable

[rough osprey]

personally i didnt find like the op1 8k to feel different then wireless mice

people hyped that for some reason back then

2706 lines of bash
And it's finally done

[thick elk]

As someone who wrote large bash scripts in the past, is this not something better done in python or some other language?

[umbral heron]

Maybe
But I know bash better than python, there's a lot of commands running via sudo in there and it'll run on any Linux machine

[ashen spindle]

just let copilot vibecode it for you

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah one day I'll rewrite one of my bigger scripts in a real language so I don't go insane when I have to touch it... one day..

[umbral heron]

Only free range and organic code written by human there 👩‍🌾
I don't want to waste time arguing with AI ">But it doesn't work that way" ">Yes, you are right"

[ashen spindle]

just write a test and only come back to the pc ones copilot made code that passes the test xD

[thick elk]

Bash code being readable is not the issue imo.
It is just very fragile most of the time. At least that is my experience.

[halcyon moss]

test? bash? wat

i fell in love with powershell now that its available on linux and macos as well

[umbral lantern]

guys I ordered the Gigabyte 5070TI Gaming OC for 890€, now thinking maybe I should rather go with a 5080 for 1050-1100€.. What would you do?

[ashen spindle]

whats the rest of the pc specs and what games do you play

(cpu and monitor resolution and PSU wattage is enough to know)

[umbral lantern]

looking for BF6 and some other games. MD Ryzen 7 7800X3D,
Gigabyte AORUS B850 ELITE, 32GB Corsair vengeance. Its a new build. I want to do the best decision with GPU 😄

[ashen spindle]

if you go up in power you need to make sure the psu can handle it, if you want to pay more thats up to your budget, if the 5070ti performance is fine for you grab a 9070xt for like 630 instead and save the 250€, if you have no budget limitations grab a 5090

all depends on what you are willing to spend/what performance you are looking for

[umbral lantern]

i already got 1000W xD Overkill.. I really want to go with Nvidia and as 5070ti is already ordered, I just had the thought that maybe spending 150-200€ more for a 5080 could be worth it.. more than that is not my budget anymore 🙂

[ashen spindle]

What’s the reason for wanting nvidia

[umbral lantern]

that's a good question actually. it's my first build and I always wanted to have a RTX, also heard that their technology is a bit better, although AMD has better price?.. can not answer that from technical side really

[ashen spindle]

Unless you have some specific tools or use it for work there isn’t any technical advantage

And especially in Europe the prices are much better, the 9070xt is basically a 5070ti at 200€ less for gaming

[umbral lantern]

hm i could also get a ASROCK RX 7900 XTX Phantom for 846€- 40% off

[ashen spindle]

Nono get a 9070xt

7900xtx is the previous generation

They start at like 630€

Well depends on what your country is I suppose

[umbral lantern]

Germany.. but isn't the XTX a good option with 24GB and stuff? I'm willing to pay 900€.. 😄

[unkempt lake]

Depends on what you do

[ashen spindle]

https://geizhals.de/?fs=9070xt&hloc=at&hloc=de

[unkempt lake]

If you just game then probably not

[ashen spindle]

You don’t need 24gb for gaming it won’t do anything for you

[umbral lantern]

I want to invest for the next 3-4years.. yes Gaming only

[ashen spindle]

Those cards are all more than fine for the next years

[unkempt lake]

9070xt is a better choice as forced rt gets implemented more and more then

[umbral lantern]

okay that's interesting

[ashen spindle]

The 5070ti is fine if you want to keep it, if you want to change anything I’d recommend getting the 9070xt for cheaper and put the money as savings to the next build or upgrade because it’s basically the same performance

[pale sigil]

What if the 5070ti is 50 more

https://tenor.com/view/really-willsmith-hmm-well-sarcastic-gif-18053026837878396159

[ashen spindle]

Why are you throwing in random hypotheticals

[umbral lantern]

okay! I will stay with "her". I'm very in love with the card I bought I just didn't want to make the wrong decision if the 5080 or else would be really much better or smth! thank you guys!!

[steady sail]

What resolution tho

[pale sigil]

Idk, I'm in pain and need to distract myself.

[gusty kiln]

Man now that game pass got nuked, might just go with a stream OS device instead

[fair gull]

i really want to build a nas but id also love a DIY case with hotswap trays like prebuilt nas have

[gusty kiln]

Those type of cases start at around 250-300

If you have an old case with a bunch of 5.25 bays, you can add these to it

https://a.co/d/22yTuBw

Pick your poison

[fair gull]

no poison

just a clear defined goal of small ish device but with free choice of cpu and os

[gusty kiln]

How many bays do you require?

[fair gull]

just 4

its literally just to run a small nas and some tiny service apps locally

nothing big

[gusty kiln]

Just 4 bays is a little tough, might just be better to add the 5.25 4 bay adapter

To a cheap case

[marsh glade]

I plan to build a NAS this winter, we can be NAS building buddies 😄

[rough patrol]

i really should build a NAS

but i have been putting it off for years now

If how warm the back is, is a measurement of heat dissapation, better add some insulating material there, that way it will stay nice and cool.

[hasty thunder]

still have my Fractal Design Define 7 and Fractal sells trays for that

[hasty thunder]

when in doubt slap a fan onto it

[magic minnow]

Personally I always use a case on my phones

[thick elk]

Used to not do that but now I do yea.

[zenith silo]

Same until I broke too many phones

Now they stay in an otter box

[thick elk]

I will say never had a phone permanently break by falling in a way a case would have prevented, but my current phone has a curved edge so better play it safe.

[hasty thunder]

used to use otter box too, but i hate how they "protect" the charging port with a rubber flap that eventually breaks off after 6-9 months

[zenith silo]

A few of them a case wouldn't have saved, notably my iPhone 6s that fell off a tower

[zenith silo]

Mines still kicking 6 months later, but I usually just rip it off right away

[thick elk]

I lost one phone falling with my bicycle where the phone got bend backwards between my leg and the steer, no case could prevent that.
I had one drop where the connector came loose which I could fix myself. And one where the glass broke when falling out of a bicycle mount still usable and a cheap LCD so replaced myself.

[zenith silo]

Its only a matter of time until its gonna start falling off

[hasty thunder]

literally everyone elses charging port flap: goes from the screen downwards
otter box: goes for some fucking reason upwards

[zenith silo]

Most of my phones, an otter box would've likely saved them

Considering what my last 2 have gone through using otter boxes

[thick elk]

Charging port flaps are just pain, if my case had them I would just cut the flap off.

[zenith silo]

I haven't been annoyed enough at it yet to rip this one

• its still in pretty good shape

[hasty thunder]

trust me, at some point you will

[zenith silo]

Oh ik I've done it to my last 3

[hasty thunder]

oh and the inner plastic likes to crack at some point

[thick elk]

I use my old phone still for cycling with a case an screen protector now, that one (came with the phone) especially annoying, so it's gone.

[hasty thunder]

this otter box has seen some shit, admittedly

but the broken plastic and warped rubber just came at some point. The phone didn't see a fall or anything

[zenith silo]

The warped rubber is annoying

Happened after about 2y on my pixel 6

Eventually got so bad it just wouldn't stay on at all

[leaden kiln]

I was looking at the dbrand case, I want a clear case with no magsafe to put a sticker behind 💀

[unkempt lake]

Otterbox are poopy

And overpriced

Thers's better rugged cases out there

[hasty thunder]

well aware of that, which is why i use UB Pro cases now

[zenith silo]

I didnt pay for my cases so we ball

[balmy vector]

MangoHE smart phone cases

[unkempt lake]

yea

[balmy vector]

With crunchy protection technology

[unkempt lake]

Put the phone in the mango

Bend over

[thick elk]

As for the choice of cases, I really just have some generic chinese options, unpopular phone less cases. So use some small generic one.

[hasty thunder]

Once a week

And its fine

[unkempt lake]

The only phones i ever killed was

I dropped an iphone 5s off a roof onto pavement

And i dropped an iphone 6 in a toilet

[hasty thunder]

they were iPhones, good riddance

[zenith silo]

That phone looks absolutely massive in his hands 😭

[unkempt lake]

I've used both, they're both fine

[zenith silo]

My poor 6s that fell off a tower and caught on fire

The only thing I had left of it was the very top edge with the speaker and front facing camera 💀

[unkempt lake]

My 5s was physically intact

[zenith silo]

Mine was not

[unkempt lake]

The ribbon cable inside the phone for the screen was fucked

But physically from the outside

It still looked pristine

I remember playing hot potato with a phone battery that was bulging in high school

[unkempt lake]

Soigen cases are always way cheaper on amazon

Always overpriced on their website

[dry vessel]

[zenith silo]

Yeah?

[zenith silo]

[zenith silo]

Thats what it is

[dry vessel]

[halcyon moss]

First, im not in USA or canada. Second I don't buy From Amazon. Third I used it as illustration of what I have

[zenith silo]

Yeah, theres nowhere on this board i can put it and it wouldnt look weird

[hasty thunder]

seriously, i forgot it on the roof of my RX-8 when i was on the way to a rotary car meeting in eastern Germany. It flew off the roof after I took a turn, so i parked my car nearby and ran to my phone. Even saw the display being fine and on. Everyone was driving past the phone and nothing happened, but one particular asshole turned the wheel so he'd hit it with one of the wheels....
240€ repair

[leaden kiln]

I bet support could

[dry vessel]

oh ur right

[zenith silo]

People are so awesome

[dry vessel]

[zenith silo]

Big knob on 80he looks nice

[lyric hatch]

Almost like it was designed for it 👀

[dry vessel]

[zenith silo]

Yeah

[dry vessel]

[dry vessel]

[dry vessel]

[zenith silo]

HR's biggest nightmare

[dry vessel]

is just pricy for keyboard

[zenith silo]

Wait until you wanna mod it

[dry vessel]

wdym

[hasty thunder]

HR has to live with it if they wanna keep their job

[zenith silo]

My 60he with all the mods I've done is around 800cad

Closer to 900 with shipping and import fees

[pale sigil]

I thought you were known as the one who talks about having money all the tyime

[dry vessel]

heh i know tech but am not fmiliar with this

[hasty thunder]

i'm also an onlyFans fan

[dry vessel]

oh its a currency

[dry vessel]

personaly i use a gmaing laptop

[dry vessel]

so u can mod a keybaord and sell it to make prffit?

[hasty thunder]

laptop and gaming don't match

[dry vessel]

yuh they do

[zenith silo]

Profit? Oh god no

Your losing money

[dry vessel]

3050 geforce baby

[dry vessel]

rly

[hasty thunder]

no one pays extra for some cheap mods

[dry vessel]

thats what i thought was cnfused

[zenith silo]

Modding keyboards is a lose lose for your wallet

[dry vessel]

rly

huh the more you know

[zenith silo]

You won't ever get what you paid unless its got some extremely limited items

[hasty thunder]

you gotta keep in mind that there is no tech gaining value when opened. Unless it's some ancient and rare fuckery

[zenith silo]

^

[hasty thunder]

even the Panasonic GameCube still loses value when you adjust the MSRP of it to inflation and that shit's really a rarity

adjusted to inflation that shit should easily cost 1.2k these days, USED!
Sealed ones go over the counter for around 900

[fair gull]

thats not hotswap or small

[hasty thunder]

they offer hotswap kits for it or used to offer it

about the being small part? Well, it's smaller than a 6U rack

[fair gull]

highly doubt that case had hotswap kits

[fair gull]

that looks more like it. got more recommendations?

[lyric hatch]

Jonsbo has some neat options

[gusty kiln]

Jonsbo are cool, but their hotswap system is weird

Like a large rubber band on top and the just friction fit into a backplane

[fair gull]

yeah just checked the jonsbo and that drive mounting system seems quite bad

[lyric hatch]

Man if this thing had some more HDD mounts https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/flp01/

[thick elk]

Also something I noticed on some cases, they support HDD's but neglect to think about the hole placement off more modern 4tb+ ones.
Those generally use different hold spacings, which are entirely according to spec but the coolermaster Qube 500 for example does not even support that hole placement. (the hdd case I placed in there does)

[gentle osprey]

or if its a 4090

I can still sell mine for more than I paid for it lol

[thick elk]

Got 2 4TB ssd's ready for it though so no more HDD's there soon, probably going to use the old hdd's on some sort of storage only nas somewhere else, to be determined, may even move it off-site to work.

[gentle osprey]

but yeah you typically don't make profit off keyboards for modding it unless you got like a rare case or keycaps that aren't sold anymore

[dry vessel]

is rappy snappy banned?

or only in cs2?

[lyric hatch]

It will get you kicked in cs2

[dry vessel]

but thats the only game right

[lyric hatch]

There's a few others but cs2 is the main one

[dry vessel]

ok which one no bias wooting80he or steelseries pro tkl gen 3

[empty wren]

Just buy what you prefer

[empty wren]

Such a question is also pointless in this server it is the same as asking this question in a steel series forum

[warm ore]

I just recently bought my first Wooting, i had steelseries before that.
The way i look at it is that Wooting is High End and Steelseries have Gaming grade products.
Both works, but in my opinion this is much more endgame ^^

[dry vessel]

wooting is engame?

[warm ore]

For keyboards in my experience yes

[empty wren]

wooting is still gaming grade though

there are keyboards with exotic materials

or novel designs

they just likely do not use magnet based switches

[dry vessel]

there is the gmmk 3

[empty wren]

That exists but the company logo should tell you the quality

This is what I mean by custom

That is just the keyboard chassis by the way

No PCB keycaps switches ect

[crisp granite]

keycult lmfao what a load of bullshit
they go autistic on the finish so you can get your hand oils all over it and then feel bad

[lofty pivot]

dam 5000 orbs to use perplexity's comet browser for 15 mins?

that's a lot of orbs

i guess i'll finally try it out

[empty wren]

Huh

[lofty pivot]

you didn't get the quest in discord? I wonder if it's regional

[empty wren]

I thought you were speaking gibberish I swear

[lofty pivot]

enough for a free profile banner or decoration

[harsh ether]

lmao

i saw, thats how i got mine

[lofty pivot]

honestly browser seems fine from using it for a bit

it's just chrome with perplexity built in lol

[empty wren]

You mean chromium?

[lofty pivot]

yeah

[harsh ether]

wasnt it like ai chrome

[lofty pivot]

Yeah it’s just chrome but the search is using perplexity

Then some random assistant features that I’d never use

[dull hollow]

wait this is 5k? i thought it was the usual like 700 or smth

[harsh ether]

ill stick to brave or non chromium browsers thonks

[harsh ether]

thats for using the browser looks like

just watching the ad gave 900

[dull hollow]

oh

[harsh ether]

thats why my avatar is so cooltm

[dull hollow]

anyways i got a free hypershift aio

[harsh ether]

hot

[dull hollow]

uhhh, dunno if it fits yet

[harsh ether]

how do u not destroy mouse feet on a glasspad?

[dull hollow]

4000d fits up to a 360mm gpu (i think that’s with front fans)
my 9070xt is 339mm
aio is 20-25mm

[dull hollow]

you don’t use it

[harsh ether]

i saw it in ur bio thas why i ask

[dull hollow]

ive replaced it twice since tariffs

which was…. march? april?

[harsh ether]

wild

[dull hollow]

im coming up to that time to replace it again but it doesn’t feel too scratchy yet

[harsh ether]

i ask because my mousepad is shite

[umbral heron]

Microsoft is a fucking joke, I swear
Orientation of camera in Teams meetings is based on orientation of your monitor, you can't make this shit up

[analog sinew]

it just works

[fair gull]

if youre smart you dont even have to use it for free orbs

[halcyon moss]

i like ai, but i dont think ill use perplexity browser

i even got an invite

its also not available for linux lol

[fair gull]

i think im moving to zen

[halcyon moss]

which one is zen again?

[fair gull]

firefox but in the style of arc

[halcyon moss]

ah

[fair gull]

see

[halcyon moss]

ehh.. sidebar. dont think ill get used to that

[fair gull]

i love sidebar tabs

so much more screenspace

[harsh ether]

ai can be good but i dont feel positive about the direction its taking rn

[vapid ruin]

AI is becoming too stale, too focused on being the slop.

[rough osprey]

evil slop

[vapid ruin]

They should have more gooners working on AI

[harsh ether]

make skyrim modders dev it

[woeful nest]

a

[vapid ruin]

a lot of reason as to why AI is sloppy is because it's made by corpo for corpo. So by having it being created by gooner, aligned for corpo, you could achieve a type of AI that's really good with a lot of thing.

[umbral heron]

Also because it's LLM - basically a huge guessing machine

[halcyon moss]

It needs even more?

[thick elk]

I tried using them, hate it, does not work well when splitting the screen left / right, got plenty of vertical space alread, and the icon only option not great either.

Also weird with sites that have a side menu already. Big nope for me but good thing it's a choice

[viral palm]

I got monster in my keyboard am I able to fix it

I have on rt

Rt

[rough osprey]

red switch of doom

[viral palm]

Wdym

[rough osprey]

its too late

[viral palm]

Ight

It works tho

Am I able to return it?

[ashen spindle]

unplug it

if you have liquid in your keyboard first thing to do is unplug

then just open and clean it

[marsh glade]

... not just no, but hell no

[viral palm]

Why?

[ashen spindle]

you said it all works, what do you want to return it for

[marsh glade]

Is that a serious question?

[viral palm]

Yeah

[rough osprey]

red bull returns only

[marsh glade]

Then I'll give you a serious answer:
Our return policy states that products can only be returned if "There is a no questions asked 30-day return policy from the date you’ve received the keyboard with the condition that it’s in its original packaging and in good condition."

[viral palm]

Oh nvm I’m so sorry it’s works fine

[marsh glade]

Covered in Monster is not in good condition, irrespective of whether or not the keyboard still functions

[digital cliff]

it should be illegal to be this 15

[viral palm]

Ye mb

Sorry

[livid ruin]

Guys sorry for asking this wierd question i currently own the samsung s24 but want to upgrade do i get the s24ultra or s25 ultra or the iphone 17 base

[ashen spindle]

whatever you prefer to use?

[livid ruin]

Thats the thing idk

Always had android

But then like the s24 ultra or s25 ultra or another one

[ashen spindle]

go to an apple store and try it out then if you want to switch

and that depends what do you want to spend, do you need more battery time then get the better battery etc.

its really mostly about preference and you need to know that

[livid ruin]

Ye i just want something good that wil last me years

[ashen spindle]

they all last for years

[digital cliff]

your current one will ffs

[livid ruin]

Ffs?

What does that mean srry

[digital cliff]

stop lying to yourself first and foremost your current one is going to be fine for very very long but nevertheless if you want to upgrade then realize you're doing so based on just wanting a new phone

and as such you should just go and try them and buy what you want

[livid ruin]

No its bc my grandparents need a new phone and they can take my phone better bc its a higher end then what they would buy for cheaper

I give them my current one

[digital cliff]

sure thing

[rose matrix]

guys is the asus tuf gaming laptop good

[ashen spindle]

theres like 5 billion different asus tuf laptops

[dry vessel]

idk i use victus

[rose matrix]

wiat i mean asus tuf gaming a15

[ashen spindle]

theres still a dozen different specs of that

depends on which model, what price and what you want to use it for

[rose matrix]

bro i am on this laptop

rn

[rough osprey]

😭

[ashen spindle]

well then why do you ask if its good

does it do what you want or not

[rose matrix]

it has a 4050

[ashen spindle]

does it do what you want (run games well enough or whaever) or not

[rose matrix]

no it said it had a 4070

[ashen spindle]

so you either bought the wrong model or got scammed?

[rose matrix]

but it is a 4050

[ashen spindle]

then return it?

[rose matrix]

no

me no rcept

[ashen spindle]

then it doesnt matter if you cant change it anyway?

[rose matrix]

no

nono

NO

https://tenor.com/view/dog-crying-meme-doggo-crys-megan-soo-crying-dog-gif-5276199764143986284

[halcyon moss]

Quin is having a slow day at work it seems hehe

[ashen spindle]

I woke up at like 1pm and ate way too many chicken wings

I dont work on holidays

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0GPnA9pW8k

wow lmg management going back om thier word and trying to screw over an employee, who could haves seen that coming.

[ashen spindle]

let me guess, they wanted to leave and firing gives them more benefits?

[vagrant pagoda]

lmg had Alex stop making car videos

so he wanted to make his own

aafter many meetings they agreed he could make a channel if they took no sponsorship at all, no ads and even no free parts

so Alex and Andy did, the channel blew up and lmg went back on their word and said you can kill the channel, give the channel to us, or get fired

[umbral heron]

I mean firing for severance is still nice from him
But he could make a channel if they took no sponsorship at all, no ads and even no free parts
Like... why? They make a channel and do what they want and provide income to the company, and get even more fans... like wha?

[vagrant pagoda]

lmg had car videos but stopped

[unkempt lake]

Hot take but WHO CARES

[unkempt lake]

its his choice

[vagrant pagoda]

alex wanted to make his own

[vagrant pagoda]

lmg wasn't just Linus then, this is post new ceo

[unkempt lake]

ok well he can leave and start his own thing makes 0 sense to have another channel

Clearly the multi channel thing doesn't work

[umbral heron]

Yeah
Just let him

[unkempt lake]

They tried it before

Mac addrsss and gamelinked and all of those other channels

[vagrant pagoda]

yes and they said he could

then when it was successful they went back on the agreement

thats the issue

[unkempt lake]

Again they could have signed a contract

Vocal agreements are dumb lol

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean given the severance they knew they fucked up, but its still ass

[unkempt lake]

I kinda get it tho like you don't want a channel that's affiliated but not affiliated at the same time that you have no control over

The stance should have start a new channel and get fired from the start tbh

Woulda prevented this whole thing lol

[vagrant pagoda]

the employee contract allows it if you don't monetize

[unkempt lake]

It probably just shouldn't

[vagrant pagoda]

bUT it did, and still does.

[umbral heron]

Why bother when there are good car channels https://www.youtube.com/@GarbageTime420

[unkempt lake]

yes

[vagrant pagoda]

thats why trying force Alex and Andy to hand the channel over or be fired is so bad

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean I bet 100% wade watches zip tie

[ashen spindle]

eh, without being in the room thats just one side, could be a thing where the option to fire was a wink wink because it would make the most sense and be a good parting option for them etc.

[vagrant pagoda]

bases on the amount of talent leaving ltt in recent years Idk

eeverything post gn has been rough

[ashen spindle]

yeah its not unlikely just cant take anything as fact from one side only

[rough patrol]

Linus did say once a long time ago that their contract includes a clause to prevent people from making their own monetized channel on the side cause it would just lead to people joining ltt to get some amount of fame and then jump ship to make their own channel they built on the side

Which, idk how current that is considering DMS works for them now and he still makes videos semi regularly

[sudden imp]

Controversy within the you tube tech world is so exhausting. Atleast since their canadian the firing benefits are nice and probably works out better for them this way anyways if car videos was their dream.

[prime oasis]

is there any way to see if my wooting cable is faulty? everytime i turn my keybored slightly it just turns off.

[vagrant pagoda]

use a different cable

[rough patrol]

Yeah its usually just a big he said she said and then both sides end up looking worse at the end

[nimble arch]

That’s not even unique to that industry. I’ve got similar clauses and I work for a university. It’s to stop people building a business off of university resources and/or preventing conflicts of interest.

[vagrant pagoda]

yes but the issue is Andy and Alex made a non monetized channel, and they still tried to take it over or be fired

[twilit schooner]

Check the JST cable inside the keyboard, it's probably loose and causing the disconnect/reconnect issue.

1. Unscrew all the screws on the bottom of the case (You'll need PH1 screwdriver)
2. Remove the top case
3. Lift the module
4. Push both ends of the JST cable into the PCB/USB daughterboard connectors
5. Reassemble the keyboard

Disassembly
Assembly

[halcyon moss]

And be fired and then allow it to be monetized?

[prime oasis]

thanks

I'm looking at buying this lian li compact case you guys think that's enough clearance for the 5070 ti or should i buy the larger version of the case?

[tepid lynx]

i would look up the dimensions of the gpu you want and check if the case can fit it

[bright briar]

seems to be some space just wondering if its enough good air flow in the case

the picture i posted the gpu is a 5070 ti

[tepid lynx]

yea there should be plenty especially if you have fans feeding it like in the picture

I have a 4080s in an sff case intaking with only its own fans and it never goes above 65

[bright briar]

bet thx for your opinion

[tepid lynx]

[orchid veldt]

okay wait

im looking at it right now and its over 400aud

am i just looking at the wrong keyboard?

please help me with this (and please ping me when you reply)

[ashen spindle]

why do you join a companies server and want someone to find you a keyboard from another company lol

[orchid veldt]

im not, i never said i didnt want a wooting

i just said my budget is under 200 aud

and the guy recommended one over 400 aud

[ashen spindle]

yeah and the 80he is 199USD

[reef patrol]

That isn't happening with a new Wooting unfortunately. 🙂

[orchid veldt]

aud

[ashen spindle]

yes

[orchid veldt]

mb dude

lowkey i just couldnt find a keyboard discord server that wasnt branded so i just thought wooting would be the best option

[marsh glade]

Dollaridoos not dollars, Quin

[ashen spindle]

I know, I know it doesnt fit his budget

[orchid veldt]

actually i pay exclusvely in tingledunks

[ashen spindle]

but thats my point why join a server when you can see in two seconds on the website it doesnt fit your budget to then ask about other companies lol

[orchid veldt]

i didnt know that wooting wouldnt be in my budget

[ashen spindle]

it takes 20 seconds opening the website and looking at it..

[orchid veldt]

and it would take me 20 seconds to chin your mum you right bellend

Ok good...cause the computer makes a weird noise when the fan spins this hot
Maybe need to check if a wire is clipping against the fan

[nimble arch]

Maybe it’s a wobbly fan

And just going BRRRRRRR

[wheat plume]

Idk
I tried to evenly apply pressure when screwing in the CPU cooler

[halcyon moss]

80 is a good temp
90 is hotish.

yesnt

this is a laptop igpu not a dgpu so its a bit different

Both of the fans on my CPU radiator are wobbly... One is so bad I just unplugged it, the other is capped out at 60% speed

hmm, Distance is not locked to 48FPS on the native Linux build, but my controller doesnt work, but its locked to 48 using Proton but my controller works just fine

FFS what TF is causing this?

[ashen spindle]

does it matter if its working

check proton settings or file a ticket if nothing fixes it

[wheat plume]

48FPS is not nice in a game like this

you need quick responses

[ashen spindle]

autocorrect, meant to write does it matter why, if its just a protion issue check settings and if there isnt a solution make a ticket

or discord message or whatever proton devs look out for most

lol

[empty wren]

Very cool

[harsh ether]

lol

so at this point why not just hack the persons actual mic

[unkempt shore]

Does anyone know how to get my cpu usage down I’ve tried everything it’s a constant 70-99% same with my gpu

I’m only playing r6 it can’t be that demanding

[vapid ruin]

It's another angle of spying. Some people unplugged their mic and cover the camera

[latent mural]

Very cool

[harsh ether]

lol

what did you just flick off the psu?

[latent mural]

R6 is cpu heavy, u are running like 500fps, what did u think was gonna happen? Try running 300fps assuming u have a monitor thats 240hz, otherwise do like your monitor hz + 20% and cap it at that

[latent mural]

I didn’t do anything at all other than be in game and it just crashed with some 1 millisecond blue screen error code i couldnt read

[unkempt shore]

Idk why it says running 500 r6 built in fps is 300 avg

[latent mural]

Your cpu usage is no higher than it should be for r6, if you want it lower get a cpu with an l3 cache or lower fps

[unkempt shore]

Okay

What about my gpu if it’s a cpu game shouldn’t be lower than 90 avg

[latent mural]

Not if ur running more than like 120fps

Which u ofc are because everyone does

Most things 300fps will use a lot of gpu

[unkempt shore]

Alright thank you

[pearl thorn]

someone help me find finalmouse ultralightx 😭 😭 or a MK x WLMOUSE Beast X Pro Wireless 8K but in dark purple 😭

[pearl thorn]

broo help me find a website

[bright briar]

idk i just bought it on wlx mouse webiste

better that way just wait for restock

[pearl thorn]

wait but

chatgpt said it was fake 😭

is this the website?
https://www.wlmouse.com

[bright briar]

yuh

[vapid ruin]

Don't trust chatgpt

It should only be used for writing smut

[pearl thorn]

alright bet

appreciate this bday in a few days and I bought the 80he so I needed a good mouse to go w it

[frozen drift]

Forged carbon fiber keyboard? Ayo that's lowkey sick/crazy

[dull hollow]

personally, i hate how forged carbon looks and in cars it doesnt even save weight

[frozen drift]

It should save weight over metal-based components. Forged carbon is heavier than normal carbon fiber ply/layered composite but should still be better than metal based parts

[dull hollow]

i just really dislike how it looks and like a lot of points to carbon fiber is to see the weave pattern for me

[frozen drift]

Yeah it depends, people got different tastes. Forged carbon fiber looks good to me, but so is the normal weave patterned ply composite. I personally think that forged carbon fiber is a bit of an overkill for electronic gadgets like keyboard/laptops because the weight saving is minimal. Unless you can get more than 600 grams of weight saving by using forged carbon fiber over metal-based substitute.

[dull hollow]

seeing weave that lines up across all the body panels is really killer

attention to detail

[pearl thorn]

Wym

[frozen drift]

The thing is forged carbon fiber is probably a lot easier to manufacture since you can just use chopped up carbon fiber and flood it with resin and then cure it via mechanical pressure and can skip autoclave. Unless you really need high performance parts to avoid voidage

[pearl thorn]

Oh they have keyboards

[frozen drift]

I think the forged carbon keyboard looks sick. Exactly what I said.

[pearl thorn]

Im getting the mouse not keyboard from there I already js ordered the 80he alloy

I wanted the final mouse ultralight but it’s going for 2bands on stockx the one I want

[frozen drift]

Yeah I read the website and immediately saw carbon fiber keyboard 😂, that caught my attention.

[pearl thorn]

And most I’d pay is 500 ngl

[frozen drift]

I recently just bought a razer basilisk V3

[pearl thorn]

Fire how good is it so far

[frozen drift]

My old steelseries rival 3 died. I personally don't need a low weight mouse so I went with something more moderate in terms of weight. It's working really well, really like the clicking quality

I haven't gamed on it much tho, long time never play LoL already.

Anyone here uses any razer laptops, especially the blade 16/18 2025 ver? Even if you are using peripherals like mouse/keyboard/headphones, it's ok. If yes, are you all experiencing any issues with the product qualities or synapse?

[devout raptor]

only idiots use stockx

[pearl thorn]

Only place I could find it

I don’t want a used one

Finalmouse actual store they deleted everything on it

[lyric hatch]

It's because they do "drops" instead of keeping products in stock to artificially inflate the hype for their products and keep prices high. Even though in the past they said they would not do that, but they lied

[halcyon moss]

Sounds like what wooting is doing as well..

[rough osprey]

wooting got drops??

[lyric hatch]

But Wooting has products in stock

There is nothing currently in stock on the finalmouse website and there pretty much never is

[rough osprey]

maybe next year

what is more trustworthy, finalmouse roadmap or noctua roadmap

battle of delays

[rough patrol]

Well, one of those 2 companies actually has good products and doesnt just ride on hype from years ago

[lyric hatch]

How's noctua looking

[rough osprey]

[distant tapir]

Probably Finalmouse

[rough osprey]

NH D15 G2 was delayed from 2021 to 2024

[rough osprey]

they did pick a bad time for it

[rough osprey]

[lyric hatch]

Well they should be in people's hands now according to their website

[halcyon moss]

Now they do yes. But earlier they only had backorders

[vapid ruin]

Woot 60hev2 going to be released before this lmao

[rough osprey]

X · Oct 4, 2025, 2:10 PM

[lyric hatch]

That's not even similar, you can't even backorder these mice it's first in first served

[rough osprey]

why they even doing all that

can they not produce more

[outer spire]

Finalmouse bad

[frozen drift]

Not me looking at this and be like "cool, I still need to use chatgpt for my research"

Oh I actually have a question regarding wooting's keyboards in general, since all of wooting's recentmost keyboards are hall effect magnetic switches, how does the wristrest attach to the keyboards? Or does it not have any physical way of connection just place it below the keyboard(from top view perspective)?

[tribal dirge]

I really like how it pulls some of it's data right from their ass. the "uses 10" gigawatts... hyperlink goes to some college kids academic submission that makes no mention of the total energy consumption of NYC in the summer at all! not to mention NYC's data from the NYISO 2022 load and capacity data report says that the total annual consumption of energy was 152,147 GWh in 2021. when accounting for that they are only considering summer power consumption is a very generous 38036.75 GWh guesstimation!!! Like bro this article couldn't be more obviously bullshitted.

[reef patrol]

It doesn't attach.

[tribal dirge]

not to say that the datacenters don't consume an insignificant amount of electrical power but the article more or less blows it out of proportion

[frozen drift]

oh damn, not to say it is a let down but ok

Yeah make sense because hall effect keyboards are heavily affected by magnets. Asus's ROG falcata just directly screws the wristrest onto the backplate of the keyboard.

[magic minnow]

Let me use Ai to see how much energy a data center uses

[tribal dirge]

it honestly depends on the exact scale of the datacenter

and the type of datacenter too

like edge computing type datacenters will obviously consume more power than a web hosting type datacenter

[devout raptor]

does this thing even exist

[lyric hatch]

not as of yet but apparently

[frozen drift]

What material is used for wooting's wristwrest? Is it like foam based or silicone?

[lyric hatch]

silicone https://wooting.io/product/wooting-wrist-rest

[lunar elm]

its not a physical connection its just an add on

its easily movable during use tbh

[frozen drift]

hmm do most wooting customers don't use wristrest then? I personally want to use wristrest for the next keyboard that I plan on buying

[lunar elm]

i personally use the wrist rest but I’d pair it with the zinc alloy

[frozen drift]

so you just use it and it moves around? Isn't that quite annoying? Just curious.

[lunar elm]

its kinda annoying but like, if ur gaming like a sweat lmao

[dull hollow]

i havent had any issues with mine moving

[analog sinew]

it doesnt rly move

its heavy and rubbery so it sticks

[frozen drift]

how heavy is it?

[lunar elm]

mine used to move alot while i was using the frost case while playing valorant lmao

Might be table material playing a part but yeah

[thick elk]

Personally don't like wrist rests but yea.
Also would say they are mostly to rest your wrists on when not typing, when gaming would be better to lift the wrist.

[frozen drift]

oh the full keyboard is kinda heavy lol, the TKL and 60% one is quite OK.

[dull hollow]

mine maybe moves like 1-2mm left or right throughout an entire valorant game but thats not enough to bother me too much

[frozen drift]

Maybe it make sense for me to pair the full sized keyboard with TKL wristrest

[lunar elm]

my table material lowk slippy

[dull hollow]

i have my shit ontop of a desk mousepad

[frozen drift]

I want to buy one because my wrist is constantly hitting the table. It's not uncomfortable but my table material is kinda hard.

[lunar elm]

i dont xd

[halcyon moss]

I love my wrist rests, I got 3

[thick elk]

Could always get a large deskpad too but fair.

[frozen drift]

I'm currently using a royal kludge RK84, I usually use it with the angled feets on top.

[halcyon moss]

High angle is bad for posture

[frozen drift]

Make sense but I already have a free mousepad from god knows when(it was from razer and it wasn't from any of the products that I bought but I just use it).

[thick elk]

This is what I use, 3mm thick 120x60

[frozen drift]

My angle with the feets attached is 12 degree

I prefer this, maybe wooting's 10 degree will be good for me too.

I will probably need to buy a new mousepad too as it my current one is kinda falling apart.

[thick elk]

Have you tried without the angle at all, generally like sais above, better posture if you don't angle

[frozen drift]

I'm trying it now and it feels a bit weird but manageable.

Probably still prefer with angle

[thick elk]

Maybe a bit of getting used to it, the theory is that by angling you bend your hands more backwards which strains your wrisrs more. But fair, completely your choice.

[frozen drift]

I see, well it's okay, I will give it a go.

Tbh, with wristrests on it makes more sense to use angled setup. W/O wristrest then no angling is better.

[thick elk]

Should not make much of a difference on that.
