Cv1 is way below MSRP now, those were alright

I have a DK2, the camera tracking is incredibly limited.

[pale sigil]

I had a CV1 that I gave away

I'm more interested in Dev kits really, they are so different it's cool

My first experience was the dk1 and the lenses on that I think still beat modern ones because of the height

Very very big lenses but limited fov and bad res

[empty wren]

Oh right aspheric lenses

[pale sigil]

Nothing ever felt more surreal to me than the dk1, idk why

[pale sigil]

It was nice but I could be remembering it with rose tinted glasses but I've never been able to get as immersed on consumer headsets

As I did with the dk1

[ashen spindle]

its either so rose tinted that its about to turn infrared or it was not lense related

like the other things you tried let too much light in around the nose or things like that

[pale sigil]

Maybe it was the screens

As I remember they were large and two separate ones?

[pale sigil]

Ye maybe, especially the nose thing, huge issue for me but I started using a blocker thing I placed in my nose.

The quest 2 isn't very comfortable tbh, quest 1 was nice but again not comfortable, CV1 was decent but the nose was always an issue.

If I ever invested in VR properly I'd probably get prescription lenses too, however I don't see a point while in a wheelchair.

[empty wren]

Some people liked virtual desktop

[pale sigil]

I just use air link

But that's not the limitations I was referring to.

[empty wren]

Oh I mean for using a desktop

[pale sigil]

Oh

Ye I don't get why

It sucks so bad using desktops via VR.

[empty wren]

It also used to be free

Still have an executable for it and some other games

[pale sigil]

I played for a few hours once sat on my couch in a virtual cinema with some people though lol, we were playing geo guesser and other games.

It was pretty fun but my God my face and head were killing

Rings were there for hours 🤣

[empty wren]

I remember there were some great demos

However flying around with third person view would be instant nausea

I wonder if that is true for modern headsets

[pale sigil]

Well that's another thing with VR

More experiences and demos than anything, I would argue it's still the case but there's significantly more actual games now.

One of my favorite games was Echo Arena which they shut down even though it was paid for

https://tenor.com/view/echo-arena-virtual-reality-vr-goalie-stunning-gif-26545065

This was the free version and the arena version was paid, I can't find gifs lol

Oh shit it's back
https://youtu.be/ue36x4MJevM

Found it!

https://youtu.be/7O-Q3lD_3xA

I loved it so much, however if you were easily motion sick it isn't for you.

[empty wren]

I played Titanfall in VR

That was fun

[tribal dirge]

Gen 5 SSDs will spoil you with how fast they are

esp when paired with a strong CPU like a 9950X3D or 9800X3D

[modern sky]

not me running on my pcie 3, 2TB nvme, for over a year after getting it for literally 40 euro

[tribal dirge]

searches in file explorer take 3 seconds or less without indexing, unzipping huge archives takes seconds rather than minutes, its crazy lol.

[modern sky]

is the difference rly that fast? can't feel it in vms when comparing to uni pcs untill i run like 5 instances of windows 10

[modern sky]

why not index tho, make it effectively instant

[ashen spindle]

it makes like 0 difference in gaming or when doing anything but moving large files

[modern sky]

double of insanely hecking fast is still insanely hecking fast afterall

[magic minnow]

xbox is a joke as a console anyway xD

[magic minnow]

Idk what that little playground square thingy is

[steady sail]

most likely the Nex playground

https://www.nexplayground.com

[magic minnow]

Wow wtf

I should get one for my nephew

Definitely not phone

Stop buying new phones

[magic minnow]

[lyric hatch]

You still have an iPhone 16 though

[magic minnow]

I’m bored of iOS

[frozen ingot]

at least it isn't pushing ai crap on you every 5 minutes

[steady sail]

Im buying your phone for 5$

[frozen ingot]

a lot of friends and family on android are getting tired of googles shenanigans

[lyric hatch]

Mainly because they're late to the party

[steady sail]

I love my Iphone 14 for that

[frozen ingot]

I don't like apple as a company, but the iphone is nice and boring the way I appreciate more and more in todays enshittification phase

[magic minnow]

Because they haven’t gotten it right

Let’s be honest

[frozen ingot]

oh I know they try, but they failing hard so far

and lets hope they keep doing that

[tribal dirge]

IPhone is indeed very nice, it just works!

[magic minnow]

I think they’re gonna be using google soon

[frozen ingot]

but even when they launched new features like siri they didn't rub it in your face all the time when you tried using your phone

[tribal dirge]

Also very popular amongst the youngens

[magic minnow]

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-05/apple-plans-to-use-1-2-trillion-parameter-google-gemini-model-to-power-new-siri

[steady sail]

Dear apple put ads in the settings app thanks

[tribal dirge]

Iirc almost like 80-90% of under 18 people in the United States use iPhone

[frozen ingot]

I've used iphone for years and I basically forgot siri exists

[tribal dirge]

Same LMAO

[frozen ingot]

like apple doesn't push this stuff on you like google tends to do

[rough patrol]

I hate voice assistants fr fr

[magic minnow]

Google if only they’d stop using their stupid ass chip and used snapdragon instead I would have gotten their fold

[rough patrol]

The machine shall not be spoken to

[frozen ingot]

me too I feel like a dork talking to a clanker

[tribal dirge]

Oh yeah the tensor is horrible

[magic minnow]

I was so hyped for the pixel 10 series and then they released that mediocre ass fucking chip of theirs with them

The pixel fanbase is fucking insane though, nothing but coping

[rough patrol]

Every time my dad tries to use his alexa to play some song and it plays the wrong song out of its shitty tiny speaker i can feel part of my soul exiting my body

[magic minnow]

“It’s not about the specs!” Then paying high end prices

[tribal dirge]

G5 is worse in every metric compared to A19 Pro or Snapdragon 8 elite gen 3

[gusty kiln]

I wish Samsung actually makes the S line interesting

[frozen ingot]

yeah my brother has those google speakers

[gusty kiln]

S26 looking like another basic bitch refresh

[frozen ingot]

I don't like em

his kids think they're funny though

[tribal dirge]

They sink more into the Z series since that's where all the interesting stuff actually happens

[empty wren]

You can have the Google assistant make appointments/reservations for you, far more intelligent than siri could ever be

[frozen ingot]

yeah it seems fairly capable from what I've seen them use it for

[gusty kiln]

yeah I think a tri-fold is coming. But can they at least match chinese phones with battery and charging spec?

[tribal dirge]

They could, but they don't because they don't need to.

[empty wren]

Also the voices these days are not robotic at one point they even had john legend ECT ect

[gusty kiln]

the Oneplus 15 battery is insane and would love more than 45W charging

they probably have a huge surplus is 5000 mah batteries

[tribal dirge]

80 watt wireless charging anyone? lol

[magic minnow]

People love to shit on Apple but fucking Samsung is worse

They literally out Apple the Apple

[frozen ingot]

assmung stuff never lasts either

[magic minnow]

I’m getting it for sure

[frozen ingot]

shit always falls apart shortly after warranty

[magic minnow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPGbGYYO2eY

[steady sail]

I can’t wait to get a battery replacement

[lyric hatch]

Wasn't aware they took 6 years to put a non 60hz
Panel on their $800 phones like apple

[magic minnow]

Remember when they made fun of apple for removing the aux port

[empty wren]

And it still might run at 60fps

But maybe ios does not have microstutters I see android

They get better at 75hz on Android but 90hz is when they feel gone in my opinion. Anything beyond that feels like a nice to have

[lyric hatch]

Idk my gf updated her iPhone 13 to the new iOS and has had nothing good to say about it

Killed performance, battery life, stutters just doing basic navigation

[empty wren]

I personally feel ios has too many updates

On android every one or two major updates seems to lower battery life and then the next fixes it

[empty wren]

iMessage crash bugs are funny though

[frozen ingot]

weird, so far its been running fine on mine

[empty wren]

that can also be true

[pastel galleon]

feels like we are just creating problems for perfectly good hardware

[empty wren]

https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Ants-GIF-1.gif

[old marlin]

it does but it also has slow animations so people think it is smoother

[empty wren]

ah mind trickery

[lyric hatch]

Also no way to speed them up or turn them fully off like I can

[tribal dirge]

You can also turn on reduce motion in iOS settings and everything will be super snappy

[magic minnow]

which is mandatory to do on android anyways

\

[tribal dirge]

Ohno, how slow are android animations?

“We have a better product than Sony”

Your corp’s the one making you lose

[umbral heron]

They almost had
Game Pass was really worth it back then
But Microsoft is Microsoft, they may have had ingredients of a winning plan, but making a plan out of this is a whole nother thing
No good exclusives, heck, no exclusives at all, Xbox Series S being a liability since release
And buying studios en masse just to close them and cancel their games
Sony may have fumbled Concord for $400m, but MS fumbled whole ass studios for billions

[wary olive]

Guys what is the best wooting now for super competitive gameplay on fortnite? I’m a semi pro and I’m thinking of switching to wooting 60he v2 or whatever is the best

[reef patrol]

Please don't spam several channels with the same question.

[wary olive]

Didn’t think of it was best to put it in general or tech

[reef patrol]

Doesn't matter - Pick a lane 😄

[lunar elm]

60hev2 or 80he

[wary olive]

Ordered the v2 but now sure what the differences are except size

[umbral heron]

60HEv2 is basically bringing 60HE up to 80HE performance

[pastel galleon]

split or og?

[wary olive]

I just did normal spacebad and default keycaps and app

[granite lynx]

Hello
I have question about 60heV2

Im french and i want to order the module

M’y question is
If I take the module
And the aluminium case
I received screw and bottom silicone to reduce noise for case or not ??

Thank 😁

[reef patrol]

Yes. You would need to purchase the module, the alu case, your choice of 70 switches, and a set of keycaps.

You will receive both the silicone padding and the EDPM foam with the case packaging, so you can try both out.

[granite lynx]

Okay thanks you so much 😉😊

[leaden carbon]

Can i keep a drunkdeer a75 and a wooting 80he plugged in at the same time? will it affect firmware or anything lol

[umbral heron]

It'll be fine

[wheat plume]

is this good external SSD speeds?
Its over USB C 3.1

[ashen spindle]

check what speeds your ssd advertises

[umbral heron]

381MiB/s = 3040Mbps, yeah, that's really good

[gusty kiln]

lots of small files also "slows" down the transfer

vs a big video file

[umbral heron]

Especially since it's SATA
IOPS kill all SATA drives

[ashen spindle]

yeah but we dont know if its large or big files so hard to say if it should be more if the drive can do more, or if its close to the drive max etc.

[wheat plume]

6GP/s

it was copying over Insurgency Sandstorm into my steam library folder...xd

[ashen spindle]

is that actually what the drive say it has or is it just listing the max speed because thats sata3 max speeds

if its rated for 6 GB/s then that would be about double of what you see there

[halcyon moss]

How much can you push over usbc?

[umbral heron]

3.1 Gen 1 - 5Gbps
3.1 Gen 2 - 10Gbps

[ashen spindle]

depends on what it is but the slowest 3.1 can do 5

[umbral heron]

If it's just 3.1 then most likely it's 3.2 Gen 2

[halcyon moss]

So it's fast enough I guess

[ashen spindle]

yeah the connector isnt limiting it

[wheat plume]

oh wait the USB C adapter is limited to 3GP/s

[halcyon moss]

Giga pytes per second

[ashen spindle]

wtf kinda shit adapter is that

🤔 this looks hella sketchy

[halcyon moss]

OK, why?

[umbral heron]

Installer looks normal
DOWN10AD_SETUP_PAS5 does not

[wheat plume]

DOWN1OAD
its buried inside 3 zip files....
and it needed a password to extract each zip file

Wtf are you doing then

[ashen spindle]

it's 2050 and we still wont get context

[wheat plume]

(I wanna try emudeck on my desktop cause its more than pwoerful enough to play Switch games and I wanna play mk8d again)

and idk where to get any of the ROM files and BIOS stuff anymore to make the emulator work...

[umbral heron]

I'll just send you on DMs

[ashen spindle]

that still doesnt tell us anything about what this is and where you got it from

That’s a terrible idea what the FUCK

[analog sinew]

watching ads suck? can they not even english anymore? or is that the height of shitGPT

also they made fucking cerveza cristal real are they serious

[frozen ingot]

burn it all down

[analog sinew]

typical, AI started with haughty promises, and what is left at the end? heartless slop and ads.

[vagrant pagoda]

if thats the examples they are advertising, imagine how bad it will actually be

[analog sinew]

i can already see the bad guy advertising sth as his evil superweapon or sth

like imagine youre watching a tarantino film and some choice words make it into the advert... splendid

I'm so glad that AI was mentioned exactly 0 times in valves hardware lineup reveal

[sudden imp]

Valve announcing half life 3 but it’s made entirely by AI

[ashen spindle]

why would they mention something thats not related to their business

most companies that mention AI in their products either want or can get some benefit from it

but they dont make chips, so no reason to talk about chips being able to do ai

or anything similar

[crimson wigeon]

Just you wait, SteamAI is gonna be the ultimate AI showcase

[wheat plume]

They could be like "This new steam machine uses AI to learn your playing habits and optimize your games in real time!" Or "this steam machine uses AI to watch you play and take notes for you so you can remember them later on" or some random ass feature that uses AI

[ashen spindle]

their hardware doesnt even have an NPU to run any ai efficently nor a really good gpu to even do that

also thats not really something they are in the business for

like the gpu cant even use the full fsr4 upscaler because its not current gen hardware so cant even really advertise AI upscaler

Hey! <@&476752926044454928> Do the keyboards run off dedicated ASICs? or do yall use FPGAs?

odd question but it means something to me!

neither they use arm chips

also dont ping an entire mod team for that..

[regal arch]

ok i wont ping the enitre mod team for that again and thanks for the response

[regal arch]

Can you send me the datasheet?

and/or the data you have on that

@ashen spindle ^^

Hey @gaunt obsidian Would you be able to help I see you are listed under 'WootHelp'...

[ashen spindle]

dear god calm down when someone takes more than 5 seconds.. the 80he should be a GD32F325RGT6 if I'm still seeing the right data

[fair gull]

we initially used ATXmega 128u4 MCUs then switched to GD32F303CGT6. The 80HE uses a GD32F425RG and the v2 will use an STM32U595RI

unsure how this would be interesting but there you go

also please dont expect fast answers this isnt mcdonalds

[lyric hatch]

Also tagging staff/mods is reserved for moderation purposes, feel free to ask your questions without tagging anyone

[regal arch]

Don’t overreact man the world isn’t ending how did you find this info (I’m asking so I can also check the other chips)

[regal arch]

😭

[regal arch]

Got it

Thank you everyone

[regal arch]

Thank you

[regal arch]

Last Q did you work with the hardware? I.E. are you on the fab team?

[fair gull]

im not part of prod design, electrical engineering or firmware dev

[regal arch]

So how do you know all of this info?

[fair gull]

and besides firmware dev youll have a hard time talking to those people here or via emails anyway lol

[fair gull]

well i have eyes and can read it off the chips and also this info is open in the company

i sure hope we dont become some company that guards this info between teams

[ashen spindle]

I'm not overreacting im just telling you to chill out and not tag a ton of people, I remembered I had it written down somewhere and its also all open info

[regal arch]

Ok so where did you find this info

[fair gull]

internal slack

and well

reading it of the pcb

[ashen spindle]

you can just open the keyboard with a screw driver

[fair gull]

both result in the same

[regal arch]

Yo what’s up with the ‘I have eyes and can read…’ mate I’m not trying to upset anyone 😭

[ashen spindle]

or just the discord search since its come up multiple times in the past

[fair gull]

i reiterated it as i already said its one way of obtaining the info

any of our users is free to disassemble their device and read all part numbers of smd components

[regal arch]

Yeah ok

Ok so the datasheets are not available? For example a schematic of the IC&PCB?

[fair gull]

no why would they be

[ashen spindle]

you can get the datasheets for the parts like the SoC or whatever parts are used on the pcb that you can see but if they'd just open the internal schematics people could just copy it for lower cost

[regal arch]

I’m just really curious how they put these boards together I thought it was really cool. It’s relevant cause I recently did a project with FPGAs and had a lot of fun and was wondering if these boards work similarly. Anyway thanks for the info

Now, we are going to be also need to be using VPN all the time, even at office, and we'll be given permissions based on some other set of rules
Does that mean that Intune will be finally deprecated? Of course NOT, we'll be using both simultaneously and let them fight with each other

[rough patrol]

vpn even at office

[leaden kiln]

zsh isn’t even posix compliant by default, but everyone else I talked to seems to cite that despite them never using emulate sh 💀
when I used fish I would just run my scripts with bash if I needed to, I liked fish a lot better than zsh

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah why do people assume you are just gonna try to run bash scripts with fish

I guess some people think . script.sh is how you run scripts?

[leaden kiln]

Burning in hell seems a bit excessive for liking a different shell

[crimson wigeon]

You can pry fish from my cold dead hands, I like me a shell that has a pretty pleasant interactive experience with no configuration

[umbral heron]

1. No, it's not
2. Yes, a lot, aka too many people do run scripts with . script.sh
3. It's not assuming, it's wasting my time at work by coworkers where I need to do other stuff too

Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk

[crimson wigeon]

.. what, where do people even learn to just source scripts...

[umbral heron]

Welcome to big IT corporations, where there are even people who can't turn on the PC

-# I wish I was joking, some people can't use PC at all outside their IDE

[leaden kiln]

if that’s how they run their scripts zsh won’t posix compliant either

[umbral heron]

I support only bash when making scripts, that's it

[crimson wigeon]

And I've seen sourcing a script to run it also have a mysterious error with someone who used bash, so clearly it's the wrong way to run scripts and if you do it you should be shamed

[leaden kiln]

well that’s good then
I thought you were recommending zsh in general when you posted autosuggestions

[umbral heron]

Nah, it was first Google result

[umbral heron]

Hey, I can't run the installation script

[formal turtle]

is rapid trigger not automatically on?

[umbral heron]

Not sure about that

[formal turtle]

i spilled water on mine when it was off a couple days ago so im scared shitless to turn it back on, ive had it infront of a fan for a couples days lol

thats why i havent checked im js curious

also will there be a 80he v2 considering theres a 60he v2? or the the 60he v2 just matching the 80he but with a 60% kyb

[marsh glade]

Take the keyboard fully apart and ensure all the parts are fully dried. You should also clean the PCBA to ensure no residue is left over

[umbral heron]

Ah, okay
On Profile 1 it's not
On Profile 2 it's on on WASD

[topaz fog]

the keyboard ships with a "gaming profile" which rapid trigger is turned on

[umbral heron]

The latter

[topaz fog]

i believe on the v2 at least RT is on all keys on the gaming profile

[formal turtle]

i didnt buy the things to take the caps off

[umbral heron]

80HE has 8k polling and all that fluff

[topaz fog]

cant remember if it is on the default profile of the 80

[formal turtle]

ye i bought for gd since my sayodevice is too loud and i figured itd be cool anyways

[topaz fog]

our keyboards come with a keycap puller

[formal turtle]

i thought u had to buy serpratley no?

should it be in the case it came with?

[real hearth]

Is it really good for GD?
I currently play with a Red Dragon Kurama that I've been using for almost 3 years.

[topaz fog]

should be with your accessories

[formal turtle]

where can i find that screen?

for my order atleast

[topaz fog]

on the product page for the keyboard

[formal turtle]

i mean

its just a sayodevice kyb

rn as i said earlier, basically my pillow fell onto a glass onto my kyb super dumb

so im not currently using it

[formal turtle]

it is quite pricey

i suggest a sayodevice but if you play a round of games (more than just gd) at least a decent amount i say yeah

[real hearth]

30 dollars btw

[formal turtle]

the wooting

pluh

[fresh wharf]

hello does anyone know what this means

[real hearth]

my keybord

[formal turtle]

well

just off that price i wouldnt assume for it to be that great

if you play gd enough 30 bucks is the price for a sayodevice

which i recomend

rapid trigger +8k polling so

also can someone explain "rappy snappy" for me?

[formal turtle]

oh also zoink uses it lol

[open field]

Windows 7/8/8.1 is no longer supported following the deprecation of older Windows versions in Chromium and Electron in 2023
Can someone explain why? As long as a modern Chrome/Brave is installed, shouldn't it still work?
Or is this just meant for support queries?

[umbral heron]

For support queries
If it works, it works; if it breaks, we won't fix

[ashen spindle]

Also you really should not be on any of those versions anymore

[open field]

I was just curious. I'm on linux myself

[open field]

aye

[halcyon moss]

also, electron is it's own browser, it does not use other installed browsers

[formal turtle]

sorry but what exactly does it look like?

[open field]

Should be fairly recent, if the web app is used, or do I think incorrectly here?

[topaz fog]

depends on which keyboard you ordered because it changed between models

[formal turtle]

the 80he is what i got

[halcyon moss]

i do not understand

[formal turtle]

it shud be there i mustve not looked good enough, its 1am anyways, cant see

[topaz fog]

https://youtu.be/l2w9wm9ccIQ?t=71s

[open field]

Like, Electron dropped support with v23, but nothing uses that anymore
Just asking, since you mentioned it being "its own browser"

[formal turtle]

what is the pcba?

smn said earlier

[topaz fog]

the internal electronics

the printed circuit board

[formal turtle]

so all i gtta do is use the puller and, what should i clean it with?

[topaz fog]

you should probably unscrew the switch plate and focus on drying the pcba

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnyG_a1kosg

[formal turtle]

ok so i followed this, unscrew the switch plate and what shud i dry it with, js some paper towels?

[topaz fog]

javascript some paper towels?

[formal turtle]

js = just

did tthe joke fly over my head or smth

[topaz fog]

you could use a dry cloth

q-tips

[formal turtle]

alr thanks :)

[topaz fog]

https://help.wooting.io/article/12-basic-troubleshooting Spill response

[formal turtle]

just 1 thing, nothing is like going to break? like everythings pretty stable?

[topaz fog]

i dont know how much water you spilled on it and where

if youre asking about taking it apart, we made our keyboards to be quite serviceable

as in we want you to tinker and take them apart and put them back together again, so don't expect them to break if you do so

[formal turtle]

like a splash onto the middle part and the kyb was facing up

[formal turtle]

ok then thank you :)

[wooden crag]

yo guys, a friend of mine updated his wooting60 rn and it crashed and is not working anymore, what can he do?

[umbral heron]

There are already kids on Reddit saying farewells like "this is last meme I'll see before ban"

What's best Roblox and Discord will still be allowed, because they introduced age verification

[leaden kiln]

who is on the sticker on the back of the phone

[umbral heron]

Pretty sure it's Luka

This card to be precise https://www.ebay.com/itm/235336611835

[topaz fog]

youtube even

[leaden kiln]

I thought so too but the text at top confused since her name usually isn't written that way

windows switched my keyboard layout for one day and now I lost the muscle memory to click shift 7 for '
😵

[topaz fog]

they will ban youtube but the psychosis-inducing chatgpt will be A-OK i'm sure

[analog sinew]

mate you gotta be in the server for a month to post

[leaden kiln]

it is my fault though, I set it to detect hw keyboard layout automatically but it decided to not detect it as the correct hw layout anyway

it is quite annoying that it doesn't work

[hasty thunder]

Valve finally convinced me

not quite sure how i'm supposed to download a steam deck tho

[umbral heron]

steam://install/1675200

[quaint harbor]

Yo i currently got a razer huntsman mini v1 from 2020 upgraded to the 60heV2 how big of a difference am i gna notice 🤷🏻‍♂️

[umbral heron]

From v1? Quite big

[vapid ruin]

You wouldn't pirate a Steam Deck

[hasty thunder]

huge difference

[quaint harbor]

The v2 is my first he kb seems like theres quite abit to tweak on it in wootility is there any guides u might be able to link on all the features etc 🙏🏼

[quaint harbor]

Keen to try it out

[hasty thunder]

upgraded from an Apex Pro v1 to a 60HE v1 back then in like 2020?!? The difference was insane

[umbral heron]

https://wooting.io/quickstart/keyboard/wooting-60he-v2/prebuilt-aluminium

[hasty thunder]

or 2021, i don't remember

[quaint harbor]

Thank you man much appreciated

[hasty thunder]

that's why i bought the biggest and best version from the Steam store directly

unsure why i'd need a 45W Charger with 2.5 meters of cable tho, because...

but eh, nice backup i guess

[quaint harbor]

I meant more on like the features in wooting software like rapid trigger socd etc there is quite abit to tweak so was wondering if u had a general guide to recommend to this regard unless i missed some stuff in the guide there all i read was stuff to do with the kb itself not the software features

I can just research myself but was just wondering if anyone recommended any guides

[quaint harbor]

What mouse is that?

[umbral heron]

Ah
I don't think we have official guide for Wootility

[hasty thunder]

Ninjutso Sora v2

[quaint harbor]

Alright no stress

[quaint harbor]

U fw it? I just got a new mouse had a few options i was looking at that was one of them ended up going with the lamzu maya x

[hasty thunder]

decent choice

The bot literally tells you each time 😄

help ? I just did an update on my wooting 80HE and now the RGB is broken, it doesn't even show up on the kb but on the wootility website it's perfectly fine. When I change the rdb options or any color on any keys the whole keyboard lights up for a second then it just goes back to fully unlit

I tried just turning off and on the pc itself with the hopes it solve itself but nope, I also disconected the kb and reconected it and still nope

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

[hasty thunder]

did some digging and 150€ of upgrades for my coming steam deck i kinda regret getting a steam deck to begin with

[hasty thunder]

Roman told me something about the VW Pro 2 btw

specifically accounting you, Tony

Landesverräter bekommen nix!

[fair gull]

ah i was about to list that as an option of the replies

[hasty thunder]

but yeah, it was known for months on his server that the VW Pro 2 is going to be delayed

[unkempt lake]

Shoulda grabbed a legion running steam os at that point

[fair gull]

sure it was known for months

[hasty thunder]

i'd rather shoot myself than supporting Lenovos "gaming brand"

[unkempt lake]

It runs steam os and the hardware is better

[bright briar]

me with a lenovo m.2

[unkempt lake]

the fuck else you want

It to massage your feet?

[bright briar]

i would prefer back massage tbh

[hasty thunder]

[unkempt lake]

dicksword servers

[hasty thunder]

don't become another Lana pls

Apparently windows's latest update fixes the fucking device removed issue for amd 9000 series in bf6

Finally

It was poopy windows all along

[verbal vigil]

does anybody have zoink's wooting 80he settings

[hasty thunder]

why would you want to copy someone elses settings?

[crimson wigeon]

Because copying someone's settings also copies their skills to you

[reef patrol]

That's digital age "if I eat their brain, I get their knowledge" type shit right there.

[verbal vigil]

im lazy to set everything myself and he has cool settings

[hasty thunder]

[ashen spindle]

just keep it default then

[hasty thunder]

keep upgrading

[verbal vigil]

i already found the settings

[hasty thunder]

actually... Hold my beer

[steady sail]

i wanna get a bigger SSD

[pale sigil]

I haven't worried about storage and I removed the 2tb SSD so just 1tb +4tb

@hasty thunder thanks for the reminder

[hasty thunder]

i have even more ready when AMD finally drops the X970E boards without the stupid ass lane splitting

[urban lynx]

12TB raid NAS, 7,5 TB internal computer storage on several SSD and HDD

or whatever are we comparing?

[pale sigil]

My server on the other hand....

[ashen spindle]

expecting amd high end boards

[hasty thunder]

but i think i'll put the 2 TB NVMe into the steam deck

followed by a 512 GB microSD for emulator stuff

[steady sail]

i either wanna get a 4tb nvme or 1 2tb nvme and 2 TB sata to replace my old HDD

[hasty thunder]

i'd rather recommend getting a 4 TB NVMe then

Sata SSDs are slowly becoming a thing of the past

[pale sigil]

I'm surprised you have a nas

[urban lynx]

i think it's a year old at this point

[pale sigil]

New Sarah lore for me

[urban lynx]

and pretty sure i mentioned it before

lol

[steady sail]

i would not waste nvme storage for torrents for old films and tv shows

[urban lynx]

you just dont listen to me do you

[hasty thunder]

ok, fair enough

[pale sigil]

I have a 2tb SSD not being used, feels wrong.

[hasty thunder]

should we?

[pale sigil]

I would add it to my server but I don't really wanna use 2tb for storage

[hasty thunder]

get an USB enclosure

[pale sigil]

I have one with a 500gb SSD lol

I never use it

[urban lynx]

pretty sure i could still squeeze it in somewhere in my computer if you dont want it anymore

[hasty thunder]

lol

[pale sigil]

Well, if I was to give it away I know people more in need XD

[urban lynx]

pfff

[pale sigil]

Said people still using a mechanical drive for none os

[urban lynx]

i mean, half my storage is HDD

though you're right, i dont really need it that much

[hasty thunder]

[urban lynx]

though my car madness is taking a lot of money lately

[fair gull]

she says while buying another car

[hasty thunder]

what car madness?

[urban lynx]

haha. gotta increase the quantity of my "collection"

[hasty thunder]

please... stop... I'm actually tempted to buy another project car while i'm not even done with the Hawk Eye Sub-UwU

[urban lynx]

there is so many more cars i want... but... money

and my recent new and shiny winter/daily cost me a bit too much at once ig...

[hasty thunder]

well, my problem isn't money, but time and the lack of motivation to keep on working on my projects

[urban lynx]

i dont even have time in the first place :D

nor space.

garage spaces arent cheap tbh

the cost for parking is probably the biggest expense of my cars

and half of them are still on the street

[marsh glade]

Those poor cars

If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for your cars

[urban lynx]

😭

[marsh glade]

#bring them inside

[urban lynx]

do you wanna adopt one?

i can deliver them to your house-door

[marsh glade]

Depends, is it neutered?

[urban lynx]

of course

they're also house-trained

mostly

[marsh glade]

I don't know if my apartement has enough space

[urban lynx]

well i can offer you the smallest of the bunch:
a beater skoda fabia from... 2001

i dont know if it will make it through Tüv in january though

[marsh glade]

Ugly cars need homes too I suppose

[urban lynx]

it does have some battle scars

[hasty thunder]

pretty sure the TÜV is marks least problem

[urban lynx]

haha

[marsh glade]

I think it's the lack of elevator

[urban lynx]

the polish dude my bf knows isnt going to pick it up anymore either. so i dont know what to do with it.

oh just think of it as a big lego set

[hasty thunder]

hydraulic press

squeeze the last drop of oil out of it with the press

[marsh glade]

Maybe the most humane thing is to release it into the wild

[urban lynx]

dont think my bf would like that tbh.
it's his first car which he gave to me as a winter beater after he got his new

[marsh glade]

Sure it might get eaten on the Autobahn but at least it will have lived a natural life

[hasty thunder]

that sounds weird as heck

[urban lynx]

i actually feel sorry for the little thing having been pushed to like 210 kmh on the autobahn with its like 70 horse powers 🥲

it definitly screamed for mercy

[hasty thunder]

believe me, that's not a scream for mercy

[urban lynx]

no it definitly was haha

especially because just 5 minutes after it just utterly failed to bring any more power to the axles and had to roll out and rest for half an hour before working again haha

something something electronic computer

some obd2 reset did the trick

[hasty thunder]

push a 45 HP Corsa B to 220 on the 71... THAT is a scream for mercy

i couldn't believe that shitbox would survive it, but it did... barely

[urban lynx]

tbf the skoda brought us to spa and back safe and sound despite the hiccups

[hasty thunder]

still, mark has a point. Maybe you should give your beaters some freedom

[urban lynx]

i mean that's the plan tbh.

all those on the street are supposed to go within the next couple weeks

though the skoda i kinda leave up to my bf, cuz it's his first.

[hasty thunder]

all those?!? How many are we talking about?

[urban lynx]

however, i'm not interested in keeping spending the tax and insurance to keep them registered legally anymore.

[marsh glade]

You never forget your first

[fair gull]

true.... ill never forget my wooting two

[urban lynx]

that's very true...
my very first car, i'm still missing it. though at this point it's probably been a piece of scrap metal cube for almost a decade

i did get a nice set of tires for it tho

[hasty thunder]

back to the basement with you... No one asks a Full Size user

[urban lynx]

yes.

[fair gull]

[urban lynx]

i'm actually bringing away the bmw to my mom later this week. she wants to sell it. i technically sold it to her already some months ago. but she had me pick it up a bit ago when she got her company car and is using that instead now. (ironically, also a BMW)

[hasty thunder]

ngl, i hate BMWs

something ALWAYS breaks on them

[urban lynx]

i've had worse experience with VW tbh

[hasty thunder]

fair enough... Once a Völlig wertlos is done it's done

[urban lynx]

i had one break within its first 100 km

they just messed up something assembling it

[hasty thunder]

classic...

[urban lynx]

tbf. it wasnt mine, but a friends

but had a similiar experience with my T5

[unkempt lake]

will i find them while reverse image searching them again?

[hasty thunder]

can't complain about the T6's i bought for my business actually

didn't have any issues so far, luckily

[unkempt lake]

The only car you ever posted here that was actually yours was the RX8

(:

[urban lynx]

nah, T6 kinda started going downhill more i feel

[unkempt lake]

from your "original" pics

[urban lynx]

T4, that one was fun

for some reason seemed indestructible

[hasty thunder]

fair enough, the later versions do suck

[unkempt lake]

Are we really gonna have to go through that again

[urban lynx]

unless a semi truck decides to back into it and crushing its engine bay

[hasty thunder]

ouch

[urban lynx]

such is the fate on a parking lot for a market for beverages

it was a fun one

[hasty thunder]

[urban lynx]

but horribly underpowered

[hasty thunder]

"market for beverages"... just call it by name... Oktoberfest

[urban lynx]

lol no

Getränkemarkt

[unkempt lake]

beer

[hasty thunder]

the driver probably had 1 too many beverages

but eh

rip T4. They were underpowered, sure, but i still see a ton of them rolling

[urban lynx]

i've honestly been positively suprised by the big renault transporters

[hasty thunder]

ewww... no

YUCK!

when does it decide to surrender?

[urban lynx]

i dunno, served me well enough for the brief period i had it

better than the same thing by fiat. lol

Mercedes Vitos. those are fun. once you get used to them

though i'm not sure i'll ever fully get used to driving a MB

it was quicker for me to get used to driving a left hand driving car from japan tbh

[hasty thunder]

i can't get used to a Vito... they're... idk. They're obviously like T busses, but with that weird fake luxury built into them

[urban lynx]

i always wanted a MB T1

but for some reason i cant get my hands on one

at least not one that would require basically being scrapped and just built a new

though where'd i park it anyway

no. i got a toyota now. although i guess they're a stellantis joint production now anyway...

(thats my new shiny daily/winter now)

though saying daily is a bit of a stretch tbh...

dont really drive much anyway

need to save up some money again now though, need to replace some things

[hasty thunder]

stop wasting your money on another E46 alternator...

you know they gonna break again in 6 months

[urban lynx]

nah

with the bmw going this week i wont have any anymore

i probably need new Power Steering lines for the nissan

they are always a bit damp. probably could check the other lines at the same time

something tells me they didnt get much maintenance

I don't get what the purpose of it is

[magic minnow]

Wow double tap to react on discord

[magic dock]

how many years should you have pc parts for

Ive had mine for 3 years should I expect to upgrade soon?

[steady sail]

if u think your pc is not powerful enough maybe

[leaden kiln]

upgrade if you can’t play the games you like at the settings you want

[magic dock]

I mean its def gotten slower

[ashen spindle]

do you want to spend money to get more fps/quality settings yes/no?

thats all that matters

[magic dock]

ngl im broke

I think im good tho

[steady sail]

i mean what you get right now ?

https://nyarchlinux.moe i love

[magic dock]

3060

rog motherboard

rog strix b550-f actually

7 5800x

and 32 gb ram

[steady sail]

tbh its not a bad setup i could see GPU upgrade to be worth if u really want to upgrade something in the system and not overspending on it

[magic dock]

to what gpu

[steady sail]

its up to you what you doing with the PC

[magic dock]

ook

[ashen spindle]

if you dont have money and the games you play still work dont think about anything

[steady sail]

So they're putting lowjack on all GPUs?

That seems... very illegal.

[ashen spindle]

its for remote diagnosis if you have a massive gpu fleet

this has been something talked about for much longer, it makes no sense for nvidia to control it since they dont care

they want to sell not disable it and then have someone not buy again

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERswhgYRr0w

[ashen spindle]

tldr nothing new, frame gen image quality is a bit better, future games might have better rt things

big hype for a nothing burger

[vagrant pagoda]

like everything with frame gen XD

[umbral heron]

burger?

[vagrant pagoda]

do not the fsr

[ashen spindle]

well no, frame gen is one thing, upscaling only got a name change, radiance cache isnt a thing till next year and ray regen is only in CoD so far

so its the usual amd approach of lets say we will have this in H2 2026, then release something because you now have to even if its clearly not ready yet

[nimble arch]

I wonder how much of this will debut in the PSSR update before being available on desktop GPUs?

[ashen spindle]

probably none of it

[nimble arch]

Given Sony and AMD still having a strong partnership.

[ashen spindle]

ps5 doesnt have the hardware for it

[nimble arch]

PS5 Pro does

[ashen spindle]

nope

the only reason fsr4 is even coming to it is because of the npu in it, the RT parts of p5pro dones have the bits needed for fsr4

maybe some part of the RT stuff but thats only because, we dont know what it does since its not out yet lol

[tribal dirge]

the easy way to crack it is to just block their location tracking services on the great firewall level, LMAO

then they will never know!

[vagrant pagoda]

5 is rdna 3 with some 4 rt/ml stuff

which is why it gets a semicustom upscaller

[ashen spindle]

It’s using 3/4 bits it’s not full base3

[umbral heron]

RDNA2.x = RDNA2 with some features backported from 3 and 4

[ashen spindle]

Nope it’s 1.x

[vagrant pagoda]

i thought the raster pipe was 3?

[ashen spindle]

It’s using 1 as base with custom bits for backward compatibility and mostly parity with 2 and then pro adds some things, mostly rt from 4 and some overlap with 3

[umbral heron]

[ashen spindle]

Need to look up if anything is really from 3 don’t remember atm

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but the cus are the 3 cus with wave for fp16/int8 boost no?

[ashen spindle]

need to check when I’m home phone search is annoying and most things you can just google are not really accurate or too superficial

[vagrant pagoda]

same but i thought that was why it got the big ml boost was from adding the 3's wave cus

3 vs 2 is like 4x perf at same clock for fp16

[hasty thunder]

bullshit. They just wanna see how many GPUs end in what country so they can adjust their marketing

also... "OPTIONAL Update"
Like hell yeah, it'll definitely prevent smuggling, because every smuggler will install it fully knowing they're going to be tracked /s

[ashen spindle]

lol no they dont need to see where gpus used to change marketing

it so they can pretend to comply with US regulations while just using whats there for fleet management anyway

[reef patrol]

Yeah I don't think nVidia has any interest in this. But they may be pressured to doing so.

[umbral heron]

Total coincidence between two things that one of top countries where Nvidia GPUs were selling was Singapore, and that China has free trade agreement with... umm... ah yeah - Singapore

Betcha these cards didn't even left the warehouse

[ashen spindle]

deepseeks newest model is trained on blackwell cards so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen spindle]

<@&1098943457654997093>

[ashen spindle]

yeah I couldn't find anything aside from them adding RT IP from 4 and custom instructions for CNNs

[analog sinew]

can i get an ai model trained on blackrock

[balmy vector]

For a mortgage sure

[sudden imp]

Ai based mortgages, the poorer you are the more expensive.

[vagrant pagoda]

dear god

[spiral island]

For the gray hairs out there, just picked up a transparent (smoke) Analogue3d. Looking forward to some faux phosphors in February!

[tribal dirge]

B100 and B200!?!?!?

Ain't no way

[tribal dirge]

You probably could, would take a bit of time on a consumer gpu but yeah.

Also it probably won't be very big, you can probably do like a few million to a few billion parameters on 32gb of video memory on a 5090 consumer grade gpu.

Maybe like 4 billion FP32 parameters max

[spiral island]

Deep panic sets in every time

[unkempt lake]

How much is it

[vagrant pagoda]

300 bucks

[unkempt lake]

Damn

[spiral island]

Too much. Shipping was up there as well.

[unkempt lake]

Expensive

[vagrant pagoda]

its like 30 bucks more than the normal colors

[unkempt lake]

For 300$ i'd rather go cave diving in my dad's basement to get my n64 and my games

[vagrant pagoda]

a real n64 with hdmi mod is $$$ these days

[spiral island]

My parents threw all mine away

https://tenor.com/view/steven-he-emotional-damage-steven-he-emotional-damage-gif-23428142

[unkempt lake]

I know where mine is its just... difficult to access xD

[vagrant pagoda]

n64 go for 100-150 and hdmi hard mod is like 60 bucks plus labor

with most premodded costing the same as a analog3d

[unkempt lake]

My dad is the kinda person that has a dedicated room filled with old stuff its just... its all packed and stacked and i'd have to find WHERE IT IS in there

[spiral island]

Sure, but the filters are a big part of the sell

[unkempt lake]

like dude still has a mac classic in there

[vagrant pagoda]

and that dosent get you all the nice stuff that the 3d has

[unkempt lake]

When i say he doesn't throw away anything

[vagrant pagoda]

bluetooth, wifi etc

[unkempt lake]

He doesn't

[spiral island]

It's definitely not an economical decision, but it seems like it'll be fun

[vagrant pagoda]

ill porb get one next year

and i own a real n64 and a wega

[unkempt lake]

I'm just going to do this funny thing called...

emulate

[spiral island]

ew

(also FPGAs are hardware emulation anyway)

only Analogue device I've used/gotten before is the Pocket which is a real treat

[unkempt lake]

I have a pc in my living room

why would i need more stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

i use a retrotink to do 480p into 540p and it lokos amazing

[spiral island]

Chad attitude towards consumerism

[vagrant pagoda]

scart looks amazing out of the n64

and ps2/xbox and older look amazing on a real tube

plus unless i get a oled my gaming tv then 4:3 will look meh

[vagrant pagoda]

110% get a 8bitdo mod for a og controller

i have 2 real ones and 2 clone ones

and they are both amazing

[spiral island]

I honestly don't really wanna go back to the OG for the grinding of the analog stick and how they loosen over time

[vagrant pagoda]

it includes a halleffect stick XD

[spiral island]

oh nice

[vagrant pagoda]

just googled and looks like 8bit stopped macking them

but the clone i got is still 25 bucks on amazon

[spiral island]

All good, I picked up two of the new 8bitdo ones (in the same smoke colorway, no less 🙂 )

[vagrant pagoda]

i cant stand not using a real controller XD

i modded my og beat to shit controllers lol

[spiral island]

It looks like the layout is pretty much the same, just more ergonomic and modern

[vagrant pagoda]

no dong

[spiral island]

but I hear ya, for my Mister I got OG controllers for the SNES/NES. Feels weird otherwise.

[full flare]

ok

[nimble arch]

Time to steal the VRAM from it

[dull hollow]

vram worth more than 2080ti

[steady sail]

i would just put it on the wall

[unkempt lake]

DUDE ITS SIGNED BY JENSEN

CLANKER BOI

ARASAKA IRL

[dull hollow]

what if i use 2080ti as secondary gpu for lostless scaling

[vagrant pagoda]

you mean lostless latency increaser XD

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Notepad-updater-installed-malware-11109726.html

[reef patrol]

Huuuh

[ashen spindle]

mostly targeted at some asian companies but still best to check if you updated to 8.8.7

[reef patrol]

Gotta love having my browser warn me against heise.dk when clicking on an article about malware

Oh... apparently Heisen wants to run DRM.

[ashen spindle]

wat

the website works fine with ublock+ noscript fully active tf did your isp redirect you to

[reef patrol]

Widevine or some shit.

Brave asked me if I wanted to allow it. I said no and the website ran anyway.

I guess they have some video they made, they want to geoblock or some shit.

[ashen spindle]

thats mostly for things like netflix and similar drm huh

[old marlin]

jokes on you, I don't update that thing if it works

[unkempt lake]

@old marlin same

imagine having the time to click updater

[steady sail]

lol

[reef patrol]

Dunno. Heise apparently asked for it.

[reef patrol]

The app will prompt you to update when a new version is out, unless you specifically disable it.

[unkempt lake]

Yes but i always close that prompt

[reef patrol]

[unkempt lake]

Or its open but hidden behind another window

[vagrant pagoda]

imagine not useing sublime

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/deedeegens-giflordcheese-peterprisonmeat-gif-26574665

[fair gull]

phew updated right past it

[pale sigil]

Tbh Idk why I even install it

I use vscode for everything I would use notepad++ for

[wheat plume]

ok this is fast for an external SSD?

[ashen spindle]

literally the same as last time, check what the ssd should be able to do then compare numbers

(and yes if its something higher than what the ssd advertises its likely not accurate)

[fair hawk]

Oh how times have changed

[spiral island]

Man I just installed Notepad++ for the first time in like 10y a few weeks ago 🪦

[fossil haven]

Idk if this is the channel to ask in. But I just got my wooting keyboard and only 1 key won’t press down fully. I tried cleaning it, swapping switches, etc and nothing worked. It presses down like .60 average in the actuation. Pressing hard only goes to 1.3mm

Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it

[steady sail]

replug the keyboard

[fossil haven]

I did ask support but I got the email saying they’re busy

[fossil haven]

Tried that. Even waited a minute before pressing a key

I tried new cables, the stock cable

The stock cable is actually worse than my coiled cable. The stock won’t even register the key

But I don’t think it’s a coil or cord issue

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258 then for further help

[fossil haven]

Ok thank you

[blissful halo]

Any idea what’s going on?

[vagrant pagoda]

bad cable

[blissful halo]

hdmi?

[ashen spindle]

whatever you're using yes

hdmi or dp probably

[umbral heron]

https://github.com/germangb/ai-bindgen

[steady sail]

[vagrant pagoda]

JIT as in just in time coding

[crimson wigeon]

Awesome

[pale sigil]

Ye, you're using a gaming laptop.

But ye probably bad cable

[spiral island]

This reminds me of "StackSort" from alt text of xkcd 1185 https://xkcd.com/1185/

xkcd: Ineffective Sorts

StackSort connects to StackOverflow, searches for 'sort a list', and downloads and runs code snippets until the list is sorted.

Tragically implemented here: https://gkoberger.github.io/stacksort/

[umbral heron]

Gonna set up VM

[rocky monolith]

hey quickly wondering does anybody have a link for a screwdriver i can use to open my wooting im changing out mmy pcb

[steady sail]

any ph1 screwdriver works

[rocky monolith]

oh deadassssss i thought screwss were ssmaller

thanks for the heads up

that i have

keyboard is busted the S key is going crazy

[iron wave]

On a scale of 1 to what is this?

[spiral island]

How's your home/life insurance?

[iron wave]

Home no idea, doesn't matter. Life insurance it exists and I don't pay for it. Neither are particularly relevant here.

[empty wren]

Looks like a cigar lighter end so maybe Nvidia rtx car🤷‍♂️

[iron wave]

I do have a 5090 but this is an AMD card.

[empty wren]

Oh then it must be a bad joke

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

Waymo does actually use Nvidia gpus on a serious note

[iron wave]

Waymo can't stay in lanes.

[empty wren]

It still needs to learn

[iron wave]

It's not ready.

[empty wren]

Using old road infrastructure does make it fall short I imagine

[iron wave]

I saw one turn right between two lanes on clearly marked lane lines.

Like, the most basic possible turn.

[empty wren]

Perhaps that is good

The bugs are being ironed out

Never heard of such before

Then again it was on in California in a small neighborhood before

[iron wave]

You can't "iron out bugs" without having drivers.

Fake level 4 garbage.

[empty wren]

Well ideally roads gets updated

[iron wave]

You don't need that in a good system.

[empty wren]

Though what could be more effective in the future is to not allow any human drivers

[iron wave]

No.

[empty wren]

Then the system would work because of less unpredictable variables

[ashen spindle]

lol no

[iron wave]

We are at least 50 years out.

[ashen spindle]

if the system doesnt recognize the lane correctly, the human on the other sides car arent an issue

[empty wren]

I agree there. What I meant was the infrastructure has been designed for people

[iron wave]

What we need is trains.

[empty wren]

Move to germany or japan

They have em for public use

[iron wave]

I do need to leave.

[empty wren]

Even if we had more train presence, the railroads are not all maintained in the us....

[spiral island]

Preach

[ashen spindle]

that would go hand in hand, more trains means rails are made better or you get more complaints/less traffic etc.

[iron wave]

I know, making the trains private was a disaster.

I want more trains so bad drivers get off the road and licenses can require actual skills and regular testing.

I'm getting sick and tired of people cutting me off going 30 under my speed.

WAIT TWO SECONDS AND I WON'T HAVE TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES YOU NON SIGNALLING IDIOT

Sheesh.

[empty wren]

Oof

[empty wren]

It would be neat if the engineers elaborated on this

[ashen spindle]

oh I can do that for you

[empty wren]

Since they know what their algorithms are and outsiders can only speculate

[ashen spindle]

"this system is nowhere near done but management wants money so its on the road"

[empty wren]

Sounds familiar

Perhaps in the California district such complaints existed just did not come to light or were buried

[iron wave]

They have a bunch of humans that can take control remotely.

Which is scary. What happens if the cell service goes down?

[empty wren]

Google Fi in the past had 3 carriers tied together

Now I think it is 2

[empty wren]

I remember in the past someone did a school presentation on advocating senior drivers necessitating more frequent license renewals. Some of them can drive rather slow on the other spectrum.

Then there are reckless racing people as well...

[iron wave]

The other day I was on a 65 and someone was going 20. That's so dangerous.

I need to get a car I can use on a track.

[empty wren]

In one state like New York, there are conditions where the police have to back off following a reckless speedster as it can cause even more harm.

[iron wave]

That's good.

[empty wren]

Ever encountered brake checkers?

[iron wave]

We live in a police state, why do car chases when you can already track everyone?

[empty wren]

Yeah they can get a license plate photograph and find one home later

[iron wave]

Yeah, I got my first one the other day after I fashed my high beams after they cut me off going 10 under my speed and not signaling.

Do you know about the repo man network?

[empty wren]

Is that where they work on stolen cars like pulling parts?

[iron wave]

Nah, they just have cars with plate readers and submit all read plates in the entire country to a central database that cops can access.

Combine that with the stationary spy cameras at malls and such....

[empty wren]

So like google maps but for cars neat

[iron wave]

I've seen two in the wild.

[empty wren]

Seems a little obvious if this is what you meant?

[iron wave]

Yeah exactly. You can't avoid that if it drives by you or if your car is parked.

It doesn't need to be stealth if no one knows what it is and you can't avoid it, right?

[empty wren]

If they only use black cars it could be a bit forgettable.
