This hospital's WiFi is nice lol

Why couldn't it be this way when I was in for months

[frozen ingot]

also it cannot create

only twist and deform what's been

[reef patrol]

What is biology if not a constant mixing of mutations based on existing material.
It isn't that simple - But most GenAI is just cheap parlour tricks burning up forests.

I prefer good old human plagiarism thank you very much

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Windows-11-hack-Higher-SSD-speeds-with-new-Microsoft-NVMe-driver.1190489.0.html

lol nice, idk if it will work with my Intel Optane tho

[vivid wigeon]

They finally added native support after 13 years

[reef patrol]

Neat?

[ashen spindle]

Wait for it to become default if you go opt in we’ll just see the usual cases of stuff bricking or having other issues before it’s all ironed out

[vivid wigeon]

What do you mean obviously Microsoft will rigorously test their updates before pushing them to users right?

[ashen spindle]

oh this isnt even about microsoft doing stuff correctly and test it

but the last time something changed and SSDs broke after an update it was because they had faulty firmware

so any change like this you dont want to push out when your code could be perfect but hardware still bricks because the drivers are fucked

Someone's getting sued by EVERYONE 😄

[tribal dirge]

That is one sure fire way to get sued by record labels

[unkempt lake]

It's funny how he waited until the wendoverproduction/legaleagle case was dismissed to post it

Also i really feel like this second part... is kind of a nothingburger

Except the language used in the mr beast ad l, could be argued that it's targetted at kids over 13 years old which makes it legal

Honey may be ethically/morally shady but it's not a scam and it's not illegal

[ashen spindle]

uh no the law isnt the same in every country for that, see imgur not being available in the uk because they are collecting <18y olds info by not having a system that seperates them

not to mention I dont think every thing was consolidated into one suit yet? was that the case or was everything dismissed?

and even then its not dismissed with prejudice meaning they can refile it with more info

[unkempt lake]

They can refile within 30 days the judge said if not case goes bye bye

And we're getting awfully close to that 30 days

[ashen spindle]

no its 45 days

[unkempt lake]

Oh

My memory is wrong then

But yeah

[ashen spindle]

not to mention that doesnt matter if its not consolidated into one as idk what parties joined wendover

and even then you can file for extentions etc. etc.

[unkempt lake]

Fair enough but thats kind of a youtube problem more than anything we have 1 video for a global audience

Youtube should make the vid unavailable in those countries

[ashen spindle]

uh no that very much is a honey problem if they made the script and specifically gave it to someone they know has a target audience in these palces

[unkempt lake]

Youtube is the one who's legally bound to manage what country accesses what content

Not the creators

[ashen spindle]

if you are willingly engage into something you know will end up breaking the law you're not off the hook, so paypal cant blame youtube for it

[unkempt lake]

There's no way on youtube to set a cideo to be manually blocked in a certain country

[ashen spindle]

the creators aren't at fault since they cant be expected to know what honey does behind doors

[unkempt lake]

Unless youtube does it themselves

[ashen spindle]

neither youtube nor the creators are at fault here nor should they be responsible in this situation

[unkempt lake]

Youtube is absolutely responsible

The honey ad could be legal in MULTIPLE countries

But not in others

Youtube is the one who pushed that video to those countries

[ashen spindle]

youtube cant be held accountable to dig into a sponsor segment to then make an investigation to see if the sponsor is breaking tos or laws

if it was youtube serving these ads maybe theres an argument for it

[unkempt lake]

They didnt give the creators the tools

Also if there was a report or a request to take it down

And youtube didnt do shit

That's on youtube

[ashen spindle]

thats not what anyone is saying though

the point is the fault lays still with honey/paypal

[unkempt lake]

Legally they're in the clear tho

[ashen spindle]

no???

[unkempt lake]

They absolutely are

[ashen spindle]

"we know we cant advertise like this in countries xys but youtube doesnt have region blocks for videos so guess we cant stop it" isnt legal protection????

[unkempt lake]

Honey can't predict that some kid in germany will be watching the ad, there's no filtering online

[ashen spindle]

yes you can because they specifically partner with mr beats and know his audience targets

[unkempt lake]

Ok so are we just supposed to know the world's entire set of laws

[ashen spindle]

if you are making ads? yes?

thats part of your job?

[unkempt lake]

If there actually was an issue i am certain that plenty of governments around the world woulda smacked this shit down

But that's not the case

Most advertising laws are also welp

Only about shit like tv

[ashen spindle]

thats the whole point though that it was not known hence the lawsuits coming now?

[unkempt lake]

No lawsuits about that tho

[ashen spindle]

governments dont audit private companies to see if their code complies with law without any reason to suspect something is afoul?

[unkempt lake]

The lawsuits are from merchants

And content creators

I have not seen ANYTHING about a lawsuit for that

Show me one

The mr beast ads have been around for literal years

[ashen spindle]

you are aware that it's not been clear what honey does when people did those ad spots?

and that the second megalag video came out 14 hours ago yes?

[unkempt lake]

It was known before thr megalag video

LONG before

Again the video is a literal nothing burger

[ashen spindle]

where was it known from

[unkempt lake]

go watch a mr beast video made in the last 3 years...

[ashen spindle]

what

[unkempt lake]

You mean to tell me the biggest creator on youtube can have an illegal ad for years in his vids

And it will be up

And no one will notice?

[ashen spindle]

how would he know if his ad team isnt doing an investigation into the code base of the app that it doesnt do what it says?????

do you understand the issue is not the spot they made with mr beast where he tells teens to install it, but that they did that while using their data when saying they arent?

[hushed herald]

quick question does anyone know how to turn this off
this happens when i press the Caps Lock key

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258

[umbral heron]

That looks like GHub notification

[hushed herald]

thank you got it

[unkempt lake]

The user isn't intended to be the kid

[ashen spindle]

of course they are???

just because they want the entire family doesnt mean they dont want the kids data

[unkempt lake]

technically its not according to their TOS and ecommerce websites mostly have their own tos which bans kids

Again not illegal but ethically shady

example, may track usage on steam but you need to be at least 13 to use steam

[ashen spindle]

what do ecommerce TOS have to do with it when they track you so much they know what steam codes you used

I'm going insane with this amount of goalpost moving

[unkempt lake]

Meaning the extension assumes that you are in fact 13 or over if you are a steam user

Or else you wouldn't be on the platform

[reef patrol]

At least clean up after yourself. Smh.

[unkempt lake]

I'm curious about what was deleted

Was it the nastiest setup ever?

gooner setup

[stoic olive]

is the new wootility update (background service) only for 80he and 60hev2?

[dull hollow]

it is only for the 80he

[stoic olive]

oh i see thanks

will the other models also get the ability to name the keyboard and the switch selector thing or nah?

[dull hollow]

every keyboard has that, its in the beta

[stoic olive]

oh alright

[wheat plume]

Wonder what happens if you use the beta
Rename your board
Then go back to stable
Does it just ignore the name cause it doesn't know what to do with it yet?

[pallid vessel]

Whats the scanrate of the v2

[iron wave]

Today I learned that plugging a GPU into my laptop blows up X.

[lyric hatch]

~8k

[normal raptor]

any info when Background Service gonna work with 60HE?

[pallid vessel]

so if i understand correctly the v2 is the 80he tech wise but new switches yes?

[reef patrol]

Essentially.

[pallid vessel]

would you know any pcb with a more up to date scanrate?
if you cant say it here please DM me

[reef patrol]

Please Mr. Wooting staff, recommend me non Wooting products

[pallid vessel]

xD

in that case. will the wooting pcb ever get updated beyond 8k?

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[vapid ruin]

8khz is all you need

[umbral heron]

At this point it's just bigger number better with no reason
Even 8k doesn't make sense, it's this way only because it's upper limit of USB standard polling

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah but the more the better

[ionic robin]

tech

[rugged patio]

ye, 32k hz polling in 2029

enhancing ur gaming experience with lightning fast inputs

[twilit schooner]

When you realize most of those 128k scan rate boards are actually 8k 🤯

But it should be 128k right, manufacturers don't lie

[errant vortex]

i recently got a wooting 80he and the spacebar on the right side is extremely clicky and loud

[dull hollow]

needs a lube and balance, lots of videos online with tutorials

can you send me a link, i only see some mf fixing it and not showing how to do it

Since when did the Home edition of Windows have Bitlocker?? no wonder I couldnt access this drive from my Linux install

Im turning it off now anyway xd

Sure, it says I can keep using my device but its a laggy mess...

[ashen spindle]

you must've enabled it so why are you surprised

that isnt on by default

[wheat plume]

I didnt intend to enable it

didnt even think about it since I was under the impression it was not a feature of Home Edition

[halcyon moss]

It was on on my by default on my laptop

[ashen spindle]

yeah on a laptop maybe but not if you install windows manually

[reef patrol]

Actually...

Wasn't that one of MS's new and upcoming pressured features? 😄

[wheat plume]

Maybe but (for once) im not on the Insider builds

[molten steppe]

Does anyone have experience with magnesium mouses?

[slow trench]

@molten steppe i use a WLmouse its good

https://www.wlmouse.com/en-wl/products/x-pro

[leaden kiln]

plastic stays winning

[molten steppe]

hmm I was looking at Akitsu the other day

its made from carbon fiber and composite

Also do you have sweaty hands? @slow trench

[slow trench]

@molten steppe no not really, i live in sweden so its cold half the year :p

[tribal dirge]

Yes, they're just ok, they aren't as crazy as people say they are

[slow trench]

im sure there are reviews of these mouses tho with ppl with all kinds of hands so you can get a good opinion what to get 🙂

@molten steppe https://www.techspot.com/news/108016-noctua-pulsar-create-gaming-mouse-built-fan-sweaty.html check this one out!

[molten steppe]

I mean its cold here as well but when I game my hands get sweaty sometimes

I've heard that magnesium mouses are good for keeping your hand dry

[slow trench]

maybe it is, i never notice any problem with it. maybe thats why tho 🙂

[molten steppe]

anyone has experience with carbon fiber mouses?

😅

I am choosing between Lamzu MAYA X and Vancer x Akitsu

[leaden kiln]

my friend really likes his Maya X

[molten steppe]

@slow trench you said you're from sweden so you might know a site Maxgaming

[molten steppe]

yeah I've tried in one of the showrooms and it seemed real good the shape and the coating

https://www.maxgaming.com/en/wireless-mouses/vancer-akitsu-carbon-fiber

this is the second one

[leaden kiln]

ah that's a pretty decent sale on it too

if I was shopping I'd still probably go for the maya x, mostly for the solid sides

but you could get this one and return it if you don't love it

[wheat plume]

whats the best thermal monitor on Windows?

[ashen spindle]

hwinfo64

[wheat plume]

uh, hmm whats the offical website for it??? I see a few offering it and they all look similar

[tribal dirge]

It's also useful for monitoring a bunch of other telemetry data like network utilization, core clocks, power consumption, etc.

[ashen spindle]

just google hwinfo... or check the windows package manager you might use or whatever

just because not everything on windows is apt get app doesnt mean its difficult to find a thing

[unkempt lake]

@wheat plume https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[wheat plume]

Aha
Can access windows now from my Linux drive

[weary spindle]

so you can use windows os and linux at the same time or what

[leaden kiln]

can look at your files

[weary spindle]

i always thought if it can work so i can play some games that need windows like riot games or cs faceit

[ashen spindle]

yes you just dual boot

some VMs dont get detected by anti cheat and work too or other passthrough

but its still a hassle

[wheat plume]

I dual boot

I have Linux on an SSD and Windows installed on an SSD I plug in with a USB C adapter when I wanna use Windows for whatever reason

but if I plug in the SSD while in Linux, I can access all my files from Windows without needing to reboot into Windows

[weary spindle]

thats really cool how does it work when you have ti update on of them

i wanted todo something like that cause i wanted to get on linux but couldnt because of the games i played only thing i play rn is cs but for faceit windows is needed

is it hard to setup ?

[wheat plume]

Since I dont use a bootloader to choose what OS I want to use
I have to enter the BIOS boot menu each time I want to boot Windows, so I spam F12 at bootup and I can choose Windows from there

Updates work the same as normal, except on Windows, I need to spam F12 when it reboots to do the update

Its not hard to set up

Install Linux on an SSD
Plug in your other SSD you want to use for Windows,
Remove the SSD Linux is on
Install Windows

Put back in the SSD with Linux

Easy easy

[fair gull]

its easy install windows, install linux or the other way around and its done

[weary spindle]

cool i will maybe do it one day too but need to adapt to linux first

[wheat plume]

What distro are you leaning towards?

[fair gull]

idk why youd unplug any disks

[wheat plume]

Just to make it easier to install on the right disk incase they are both the same size

[fair gull]

thats true reading the label unformatted is hard

[wheat plume]

Yep

[weary spindle]

idk what that is but i think i used ubuntu once

a friend told me its easier

[wheat plume]

Ubuntu is a good choice
So is Mint or Bluefin too :D

I use Bluefin on my desktop because I want stability and reliable updates
Then I use Arch on my laptop cause I dont really use it for any critical stuff

[leaden kiln]

no replies or context?

[wheat plume]

wrong server..

[white salmon]

Anyone know what this means? It only does it when i plug up my controller on pc. Never had this happen to me until now

It never goes away

[wheat plume]

O.o
That's the least vague error message I've ever seen on Windows

Usually they just say "Something went wrong, try again" or whatever similar to that

[ashen spindle]

reinstall steam

restart pc

or checkf or updates and restart first before you reinstall steam

[pastel galleon]

lowkey wish there were some consumer cards that were not workstation cards that offer 4x DisplayPort

[wheat plume]

Most GPUs from the last few years have like 3 DisplayPort and one HDMI

Seems they are trending towards having more DP now
Which is nice

[pastel galleon]

yeah, partly why I got the Prime 9070 XT

[ashen spindle]

this is false btw

[pastel galleon]

also because its small, more minimal w/o rgb, and also has 3x 8 pins rather than 2

idk how much of a difference it makes with the 2 vs 3x 8 pin arg for 9070 XTs

[wheat plume]

I have 0 RGB on my desktop and I'm happy with that

[pastel galleon]

same

[wheat plume]

My keyboard is RGB though xd
Well. The main profile anyway

[pastel galleon]

same, on my 80HE tachyon profile I turned off the LEDs

[wheat plume]

Nah I need the backlight
Just not necessarily RGB

[pastel galleon]

my main profile's RGB is the stock 80HE theme with light tweaks

i really like blue spectrum

otherwise on my old desktop, all the RGB started to die and i was scared since

also the software was really bad

i think it was the first lian li daisy chain RGB fans

now I just use good ol noctua

[wheat plume]

I assume I could get a different fan for my PC that would be quieter? But idk what one would work

[pastel galleon]

which one are you using

[wheat plume]

Cooler Master Mobius 120

Wait wtf

[pastel galleon]

i see

[wheat plume]

The noise isn't bad when it's audible
It sounds fairly airy, but sometimes the PC has a high pitched noise which I think is the PSU fan ...

[warm egret]

hey guys, anyone know where the EPDM foam is?

[slow trench]

Sry for late answer, yes i got my wlmouse from maxgaming 🙂

[pastel galleon]

bottom of the 60HE v2 box

[warm egret]

found it. thakn you

[pastel galleon]

no worries!

[coral sapphire]

could someone please direct me to a video build quide for the wooting v2 module in the tofo 60 redux case im putting mind together now and want to make sure ive done it correctly thanks

[pastel galleon]

I actually happen to have a 60HE v2 and a Tofu60 Redux as well

[coral sapphire]

perfect have u got urs yet5/

[pastel galleon]

while you can friction fit the v2, I would suggest screwing it in to ground the board

all in all super easy process

[coral sapphire]

yeathat was my thinking also

[pastel galleon]

no need to overthink it, don't overtighten and you're good

also the Redux allows the user to align the USB-C port

[coral sapphire]

do you have a video i could follow i cant find 1 on youtube for the v2 module only the og wooting

[pastel galleon]

you can check #🪛│modding_faq and ask more questions in #🔧│keyboard_modding

[coral sapphire]

let me tab over think ive asked there already 1 sec

[cosmic fiber]

does anybody know why my pc could fully freeze on 8khz wooting 60he v2?

[rustic charm]

Does anyone no why I can’t use wooting double movement? I have wooting 80he and I’m connected to the wootility web and when I go to double movement it says 360 movement is enabled but there is no wooting keyboard connected.

[lyric hatch]

@rustic charm

[rustic charm]

@lyric hatch how can I disable the controller emulation system? I’m in wootility app. Went into settings and don’t see anything that says that. Thanks for your info. Not mad at anyone. Epic games does whatever they want is what it is. Thank you again.

[lyric hatch]

it's just under gamepad in wootility now

[magic minnow]

The new company I came to has an Ai that will text you and see if you wanna pick up a work shift

[rustic charm]

@lyric hatch thank you. I made sure it’s turned off I appreciate it. Sorry have had the keyboard for a year now and just trying to learn more things about it. Thanks again.

[empty wren]

Decent use case, though I wonder if the manager is on their phone all day

[lyric hatch]

No worries
Some good content on the Wooting YouTube channel including the new background service if you wanted to find out some more stuff
https://youtube.com/@wooting

[magic minnow]

lol maybe. The ai does give you an option of “always wanting to pick up shifts, maybe I will maybe I won’t, text me last”

[empty wren]

Actually not bad

If it gets good enough

The model they are working with*

Perhaps it can replace the scheduler responsibility or role

I could potentially see them making a micro manager extinct

there’s a pc version of the holy60, I think it looks nice, not very cheap though

Been using my old pebble time again

[nimble arch]

[unkempt lake]

It works well

[nimble arch]

My father and sister need FitBit replacements as Google are seemingly phasing the standalone devices out in favour of it being Pixel Watch functionality.

They're both after Garmin smartwatches, I think.

Makes the Apple Watch Ultra look cheap

[unkempt lake]

Honestly all the alternative smartwatches are overpriced

[nimble arch]

The Garmin ecosystem seems pretty cool if you're into certain sports

As you can buy the cycling maps etc and use them on multiple devices

[tribal dirge]

They also use nicer measuring devices like the chest strap heart rate monitor and whatnot.

The optical ones used on watches are not great

[nimble arch]

My biggest issue with that Garmin above is security updates are only provided until September 2027 (based on the information within the spec sheet).

Vendors that aren't Apple really need to close the software gap that still exists.

[iron wave]

So apparently Idea can't do LLM stuff. It also made the CLI super slow after I sent that for some reason.

This is running off of a 5090.

Like, it's the same exact prompt and the one in the IDE has taken 5 minutes (at time of posting) and it hasn't responded yet.

The CLI one was almost instant.

[tribal dirge]

You sure you didn't accidentally pick the wrong model in either one of them? Also I would highly suggest not running two instances of an LLM inference at once.

The computing overhead of even a single 30 billion parameter inference LLM can bring consumer hardware to its knees

If you had dual GPUs, then sure, you can probably get away with running two instances.

But in most consumer grade single GPU setups I will only ever run one instance at a time

[iron wave]

Doing both at once or one at a time doesn't change the fact that it doesn't work correctly.

This is worse than useless now that I got something to happen.

[magic minnow]

Muting my PC lets me hear audio

If I unmute it, then I can't hear anything

[iron wave]

This all still feels half baked.

[tribal dirge]

Yeah

[iron wave]

qwen3-coder got close, but it took too long to be so wrong.

The correct version:

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[magic minnow]

[iron wave]

Yeah, gonna say maybe in a year this will be worth it if the bubble didn't pop before they made it work well.

I hate having to restart my pc to swap keyboard

You don't need to restart

Anyone have any powerful USB-C handheld blower recommendations for PC components?

[crimson wigeon]

I have never seen that keyboard layout dialog in my whole life, what the heck is that

[analog sinew]

car for me

[ivory lagoon]

Peak

Venom60he and pmm pulse 8k

[warm ore]

Keebmat + artisan too?

[magic minnow]

Oh you got the 2nd version of the Pulse

[ivory lagoon]

Yes

[ivory lagoon]

Yh i got a great deal on it

[warm ore]

😎

[ivory lagoon]

140€ for the kit with 3.0 coating and v2 internals

And skates etc

[magic minnow]

Nice I got it on release

[ivory lagoon]

I honestly cant believe that its flawless

Ive owned like 30 mice over the last 2 years and nothing had this good of a qc

[magic minnow]

The first batch had these little Ls lol

[ivory lagoon]

Yea the 2nd is cleaner

[steady sail]

im gonna wait for the Pulse wireless kit

[warm ore]

For that price it better be

[ivory lagoon]

I mean any mouse u buy has little nitpicks

But this rlly doesnt

[magic minnow]

The scroll wheel for me

Doesn’t feel crisp

[ivory lagoon]

Whaaat

Mine feels very tactile

[steady sail]

the mouse wheel on my OP1 v2 was always moved to the right

[magic minnow]

To me it just doesn’t feel as good as my Viper V3 Pro

[steady sail]

but the OP1w V2 wheel is perfect

[ivory lagoon]

I had like 5 viper v3 pros and they didnt feel this nice to me

Cuz i resell and flip stuff

[warm ore]

Remember the purple one i showed you? Scroll on that was better than exected, nice even. Same experience on another after.

[ivory lagoon]

What coating is this

[magic minnow]

3.0

[ivory lagoon]

Dude

The variance on coatings is crazy

[magic minnow]

Have you seen the 1.0?

[ivory lagoon]

Mine looks a lot smoother than urs

And its 3.0 too

[magic minnow]

1.0 was my favorite

[ivory lagoon]

U can zoom lil and see it looks diff to urs

Lowkey just like a op1 shell in smoothness

[magic minnow]

Yeah it does

[ivory lagoon]

I wonder why theyre so diff i had couple pmm mice and they all differed a lot

[magic minnow]

They’re hand coated

That’s why the coating is a bit pricey

[ivory lagoon]

Would be nice if eventually it can be automated so they all look the same

[steady sail]

i kinda wanna order a VV3 Pro for funsies

[magic minnow]

You should

[candid shuttle]

I accidentally ordered a US layout. Can it still be changed?

[ivory lagoon]

Buy a nice color if ur gonna buy

[warm ore]

I'm really looking forward to try the PMM FlexCord

[steady sail]

ask support https://www.wooting.io/support

[ivory lagoon]

It feels really nice tbh like wireless for me

[magic minnow]

Super light

[ivory lagoon]

I ordered vaxee bungee now to improve it even more

[steady sail]

tbh i wish they did transparent casing for it

[warm ore]

Looked like the perfect solution for me 🙂‍↕️

[ivory lagoon]

Dragon lore looks good tbh

And pikachu did too but its gone i think

[warm ore]

How does that one look, i already have one, but curious about others.

[ivory lagoon]

Many people say its the best bungee so i got it

I found one 2nd hand for 20

[frozen ingot]

just use a wireless smh

[warm ore]

Hmm doesn't seem as stable, think i'm good. Thanks for showing, browsing on phone is ass.

[steady sail]

im just gonna stick to white or black

im not a big fan of those collab color ways

[ivory lagoon]

Mmm

[steady sail]

I would love a transparent one but they don’t make one

[warm ore]

Transparent shell?

[steady sail]

yeah

[warm ore]

I see, i only ever had one that was like that, an Aerox Custom, it had a "ghost" case (i still have it, retired this year).

But theres a mouse coming with that colorway next year, will tag you with it if you want.

[magic minnow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_puck_mouse

[steady sail]

No

https://www.endgamegear.com/en-us/gaming-mice/op1-8k-v2?attribute[color]=Dark Frost this type of mouse

[warm ore]

Yeah, will be like that some sort of semi transparent, but it will be lighter rather than dark.

[magic minnow]

[warm ore]

Now that i think about it, that might look good with the Frost case of wooting 🤔 🤔

[plucky gazelle]

Why is it coming in mid march? 😭😭

[plucky gazelle]

I know bro

But I Saw some people already
Got it, mid march is a loong time tho

[reef patrol]

Oh god that auto translate 😄

[plucky gazelle]

No problem but didnt expect it

[analog sinew]

aluminium case. plastic is coming later.

[plucky gazelle]

? So u mean its good i chose aluminium or what

[reef patrol]

Mhmm. Could have been April, if you had picked plastic. 🙂

[plucky gazelle]

Alright

I also like aluminium better

Is it a good set i picked up?

[runic swallow]

I'll probably get my v2 in february

🙁

[plucky gazelle]

When did u order?

[hexed solstice]

can anyone help me im having trouble with my 60he i was on wootify web updating keyboard when my pc crashed and now it wont turn on but i hear it being detected by windows

[runic swallow]

Right now

[plucky gazelle]

What did u order?

[runic swallow]

He60 V2 and keycaps

[hexed solstice]

thank you

[pure igloo]

Did you already have a wooting before the v2?

[empty wren]

Ah yes making your own ram

[iron wave]

It might be cool to get my X090 cards modded one day.

[autumn igloo]

Don’t work after update

[runic swallow]

Nope

[reef patrol]

Hit HELP in the left of Wootility to factory reset it.

[autumn igloo]

Resolved but ty

[iron wave]

I'll take that as a yes.

IF I SPILT A LITTLE WATER ON MY WOOTING 60HE AM I COOKED??

THE WINDOWS KEY ISNT RESPONDING

[iron wave]

If you are worried unplug it, clean it and let it dry.

[dark kayak]

OKOK

[dapper berry]

Someone please help me. My keyboard was working normally until I accidentally clicked update while I was in the middle of a game, and then my keyboard lost connection. After that, I unplugged the cable, and now the keyboard shows no response at all. I can still hear the connection sound between the keyboard and the PC, but the keyboard RGB does not turn on, and when I connect it to the software, there is no signal or response from the keyboard at all.

[iron wave]

I would guess this.

[dense plinth]

can wooting60he+ be used on ps5 if so how?

[dense plinth]

we’re is that setting at?

[dense plinth]

can i do that on my phone?

[steady sail]

nope

[dense plinth]

can it only be done with a pc

[steady sail]

PC/Laptop

[dense plinth]

okay

[reef patrol]

You'll also need a PC any time you change settings on the keyboard.

You are buying a PC keyboard - That happens to function somewhat on a console with the right settings.

I don't believe my motherboard even exposes a true chip-0 USB path to the outside.

[summer fossil]

i swear theres app to change what each core does or like chip for defualt windows things so like u can change which ones ur periphals are on to make it not as ''laggy'' as if u used it on the core which uses more windows stuff

so i dont think it worth trying

[raw zephyr]

no because it doesnt matter

[iron wave]

There are no 0 chip paths?

It's weird that Tesla doesn't support plug and charge....

[bright briar]

you guys hear asus going to be making ram

[azure otter]

what lmao

[sudden imp]

I saw that. I don’t think it’ll make much of a difference though? It’s the wafers in shortage which are needed to make ram sticks.

[tribal dirge]

I highly highly highly doubt that, unless they announced that they built a dram fab already, I really really doubt that

[tribal dirge]

wafers arent the issue, its fab capacity

advanced nodes are all being used up

[bright briar]

i saw a post about it and was just wondering if anyone else heard about it too

[tribal dirge]

I have, but its just a rumor from one singular source

[bright briar]

ty for letting me know this

merry christmas

[tribal dirge]

see if asus were to get into the dram manufacturing market, they would have announced it by now because building a new semiconductor fab is not insignificant, they would have been shouting it from the tops of mountains by now.

[unkempt lake]

They'll just be buying from micron and whiever like corsair

[tribal dirge]

oh, well if that's the case it's not gonna do much

micron is already allocating significantly less for DDR5 UDIMM in 2026, as well as Samsung, and hynix.

[unkempt lake]

Indeed

This news is a joke

[tribal dirge]

in order to prioritize HBM3 and DDR5 RDIMM and/or ECC

Holy guacamole~ GOOD NEWS TO GAMERS from ASUS? What a christmas miracle lol

[umbral heron]

Oh, another manufacturer from which OpenAI will order half of manufacturing capacity with money they don't have

[frozen drift]

Although I'm surprised that ASUS has their own semiconductor fabs though

[frozen drift]

Hmmm let's just pray that ASUS follows through with what they announced

[umbral heron]

Corporations only follow money

[ashen spindle]

No Asus is Not investing in any fab capacities

What’s probably happening is that instead of buying ram sticks from micron they now buy memory chips and package them and then use them, maybe on top of making them for DiY too

Aka it’s the thing rational people said when the micron news about crucial came, it won’t actually change anything because someone else will package the chips then

[magic minnow]

I know there’s an ASUS X Kojima Productions collab dropping next month

[frozen drift]

DIY?

[halcyon moss]

They see a high margin market, they enter

[ashen spindle]

No they won’t see any of those margins

It’s mostly because asus used mainly crucial sticks for many of their laptop lineups

[halcyon moss]

This guy has many uninformed takes.

And I don't like his style :p

[ashen spindle]

I don’t even know who that guy is but short form content always is a good indicator it’s probably not accurate news :p

Windows Linux

im gaslighting myself that i have linux before i install linux

[old marlin]

what

if you want linux just install linux

[umbral heron]

Pretty much all distributions nowadays support booting from Live USB, so you can just boot it, play with it and test before installing

[tacit leaf]

my laptop is broken and im waiting for my thinkpad to ship here

🙂🙂

[iron wave]

Is it possible to make multiple islands on Android?

[wheat plume]

Should I disable swap? I dont use it (I think) never once went past my physical ram total ... but this distro assigns 8GB by default

[halcyon moss]

No

[iron wave]

I would. I've been doing that on all my systems since I got to 16GB.

[crimson wigeon]

It's nice to have some swap just in case you want to run some (very) broken software

Doesn't have to be real, can just be zram swap which is what a lot of distros default to these days

[iron wave]

I've only ever had Windows software be that broken.

[wheat plume]

yeh this is zram

[umbral heron]

If you have 8+ GB of RAM yeet swap the hell out of your PC

[iron wave]

zram seems pointless.

[wheat plume]

XD

[umbral heron]

Same with pagefile on Windows

[halcyon moss]

It isn't?

[iron wave]

You have 48GB.

https://tenor.com/view/yeet-lion-king-simba-rafiki-throw-gif-16194362

[halcyon moss]

Yeah. So?

[wheat plume]

now I need to find out how to disable it :')

[frozen drift]

I did see news saying that ASUS wants to enter the ram market

[halcyon moss]

Swap can be nice as a buffer

[iron wave]

In memory swap doesn't sound pointless? Especially on systems that don't need it?

[halcyon moss]

ZSwap is conpressed memory

[iron wave]

swap
swapoff
Probably fstab or something?

[crimson wigeon]

It just means that in the (probably rare case!) the system gets memory constrained it can just compress some old data instead of having to chuck it out

[umbral heron]

Yeah, I love when OS saves new memory in the buffer on SSD instead of clearing cache that's no longer in use

[crimson wigeon]

For example if you want to play a broken game called Star Citizen that can use up to 50+ gigs, you absolutely must have enough memory for it to not get OOM killed

[iron wave]

50 isn't all that much.

[wheat plume]

I see no zram in here

[iron wave]

Dang.

Check kernel args.

[crimson wigeon]

Still more than the 48 gigs their system has, so it would be OOM killed on the spot

[iron wave]

Or the arch wiki.

I have 64GB. :-)

[umbral heron]

Bazzite?

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah maybe your system, lucky you.. few are lucky enough to get that much now

[iron wave]

My next system will be double or quadruple that.

[crimson wigeon]

Most distros that default to zram use zram-generator or something similar (in case they hate systemd)

[wheat plume]

Bluefin :D Same family as Bazzite but more desktop orientated than gaming orientated

[iron wave]

systemd is nice.

[umbral heron]

Check /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf and then sudo swapoff -a

[iron wave]

run0 pacman -Syu :-)

[crimson wigeon]

But yeah I have only 32 gigs of RAM and am gonna be stuck here for years I guess. Have zram set to 25 gigs and I absolutely need it for some broken software

[wheat plume]

how is the software that broken?!

[crimson wigeon]

You know how modern developers are inefficient..

[iron wave]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap

[umbral heron]

swapoff only then maybe

[crimson wigeon]

As per convention the default zram-generator config is probably in /usr, the idea is you copy it to /etc (or make a new dropin) when you want to override it

That way to "factory reset" you can just rm your own config files

[iron wave]

run0 bash
echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
^D

[wheat plume]

oooo arch wiki has dark theme now!!!

[iron wave]

That's only for the current boot though.

[crimson wigeon]

zswap is probably disabled, the common wisdom (whether it's correct or not!) is that you probably shouldn't have it on while using zram as swap

[wheat plume]

hmmmm

[iron wave]

Oh, zswap.enabled=0 kernel arg.

[crimson wigeon]

Again, they have zram, so they need to stop that. And as I said, it's probably zram-generator

[iron wave]

Weird.

Does swap not list the swap devices?

OH

zram and not zswap?

[crimson wigeon]

For example systemctl status dev-zram0.swap which would also helpfully point to the manpages

[iron wave]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram
If so.

[crimson wigeon]

And can probably examine the current config like so systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/zram-generator.conf

[umbral heron]

I'm stealing that

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah works for all systemd config files, useful if you can't keep track of which dropin does what

[wheat plume]

ok now need to disable

oh it legit tells me how

[crimson wigeon]

Indeed

[wheat plume]

https://tenor.com/vrNS6BmKfRX.gif

[fair gull]

aka just comment out the 2 lines prob

[wheat plume]

^ yeh xd

[crimson wigeon]

Or just touch /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf

[wheat plume]

Wonder if it will enable itself again during the next update, Bluefin is immutable

[fair gull]

boi am i glad i keep copying my server when i move it just so i dont have to re-setup anything

[iron wave]

Could probably just run0 systemd disable --now zram.service or whatever.

[wheat plume]

thought that said ring0

[iron wave]

It's like sudo but better.

[crimson wigeon]

I probably should start using it more but muscle memory and I don't like the polkit password dialog

[iron wave]

It recently started caching the password like sudo.

Which I didn't expect to have happen.

[umbral heron]

Tis just a wrapper for systemd-run! We've been bamboozled

[iron wave]

Yeah, it is a much more secure design than anything setuid could be too.

[wheat plume]

ah....Immutable

[crimson wigeon]

Read the comment again

Specifically the bit after the word "or"

[iron wave]

I'd just disable the unit.

One of these days I want to actually finish LFS.

[wheat plume]

ok

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah and now if you cat-config it it should be rather empty

[wheat plume]

aha

[umbral heron]

I bet it’s a limited run of 200/200 and it’ll be like 5,000$

[wheat plume]

Do they still classify all posts that mention Linux on Facebook as hacking tutorials and shadow ban them?

[umbral heron]

Dunno, I don't have FB since... I don't remember when

[tacit leaf]

Hey Copilot, please install linux for me

[crimson wigeon]

Might just work to get a WSL thing going..

[umbral heron]

VirtualBox for desktop environment
After all same thing as WSL2

[wheat plume]

I will have to check on the next update see if it remains this way now

[crimson wigeon]

Only if the distro moves it to a drop-in config file, which I find unlikely

[umbral heron]

/etc/ is usually user-defined directory, aka not immutable part of disk when it comes to immutable OS-es
You can even see it's mounted from /var most likely

[wheat plume]

🤔 They removed the GTS version from the download page, interesting

[umbral heron]

GTS is just latest-1, not sure why would you want to use it, since latest is stable

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I understand why they did it XD

[gloomy walrus]

anyone know what to do

the keycaps they sent doesnt include the split spacebar

[magic minnow]

you tried the bottom right one?

both the set in the tray and on the keyboard looks like they have the split spacebar?

[vapid ruin]

Damn, even if $1.2k, it seems really nice

[magic minnow]

Yeah but I think their OS and support isn't the best

[magic minnow]

[gloomy walrus]

the white is not split

[magic minnow]

[gloomy walrus]

omg my bad

sorry guys im new to this

[leaden kiln]

😇

[gloomy walrus]

quick question is the lekker switches better than the stock switches on my v2?

[umbral heron]

60HE v2 comes with Tikkens, which are Lekkers 3.0

[gloomy walrus]

you mean the free founders edition lekker they are giving are the same switches installed in the default v2?

[reef patrol]

Just heavier yes

[umbral heron]

50-ish g vs 100g

[gloomy walrus]

thanks for answering guys

this is my 1st time buying a customizable keyboard is so confusing

[umbral heron]

Have fun with new keyboard

[nimble arch]

This is great until you have to use the worst Android ROM imaginable and have no software updates

[magic minnow]

literally though lol

I really wanna get the One Plus but scared to try something other than Samsung

[runic swallow]

First time spending 300€ on a keyboard

(crazy imo)

[plucky olive]

It's not crazy to spend that amount, it's justifiable.

[runic swallow]

Justifiable how?

[frozen ingot]

glad I got mine when I did

[runic swallow]

I'll need to wait until I receive it to see if it was worth it for me, reviews are very good tho

[frozen ingot]

I spent €230 for my 80he

[runic swallow]

I spent 290€ for 60hev2 and the keycaps

[frozen ingot]

and €159 for my 60he back in 2022

[iron wave]

Unlockable or bust.

[plucky olive]

Because it aint some crappy ( Razer, Logitech, Steelseries ) E-Waste keyboard.

[frozen ingot]

you don't have to pick metal case for it either, abs saves you like €50

[iron wave]

I have three twos, amazing keyboards.

[plucky olive]

[gloomy walrus]

is the kom pom that good to \be that expensive?

[gloomy walrus]

i already miss my volume switch on my apex pro

[leaden kiln]

wooting knob soon™

[cerulean granite]

Its gon be dope.

[leaden kiln]

I don’t have any use for one but just saying for the person missing the wheel on their apex pro

[iron wave]

There are fn keys for volume. Insert, home and page up for volume down, mute and volume up IIRC.

[iron wave]

My guess is the wheel just simulates the travel distance of a key and it's mostly software doing the work.

Looks like they replace keys which sucks.

Wooting hex numpad when? There's already a joke keyboard.

[leaden kiln]

Yeah but I think you can press them aswell so you’ll get 1 key back even if it’s not as nice as a regular switch

[modern sky]

I need an honest review of a laptop gpu, but i realised how many sources are just... meh

Do yall have any reliable benchmark websites/resource sheets that would test laptop gpus? I wanna see if getting a used X1 with Ira Xe graphics is a good deal

or if I should look into amd instead

[ashen spindle]

notebookcheck is quite good

laptops always means you want to look at the specific models and not just the ahrdware

same hardware can be so different just based on power management, screen type etc.

[iron wave]

Yeah every model will limit the GPUs differently.

It's so bad that a hither end GPU can be clobbered by a lower end one because the high end one doesn't have any power budget but the lower end one is maxed out with a good cooler.

[ashen spindle]

you can also see like 4h vs 8 h battery life just from oled vs ips for example

[iron wave]

I just want to know why my RX 9060 XT won't go higher than 2Gbps link speed.

[ashen spindle]

tried it on another system to see if the card is the issue?

[iron wave]

I'm thinking it's probably laptop related.

I can try a different card to see what happens...

Very silly.

[fair gull]

u sure its not the adapter?

[iron wave]

It's that or the laptop.

Or the cable I guess.

i mean whats the device at 0000:05:00

This makes sense.

It could be something to do with the laptop side too, if they don't negotiate correctly the host may not see that.

[fair gull]

hm true

[iron wave]

Not sure how you debug this.

[fair gull]

although the laptop does know its capabke of x4 link

[iron wave]

Yeah it should be.

I might be able to borrow someone's Windows laptop to test.

It turns out they said they had one, asked if I wanted to test this with it and decided to ignore the request. :-/

Welp, I guess I'll go make a forum post about it.

No markdown support. :-/

[ 2371.204208] pci 0000:09:00.0: 2.000 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth, limited by 2.5 GT/s PCIe x1 link at 0000:05:00.0 (capable of 504.112 Gb/s with 32.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)

For the GPU, which makes sense.

I would expect it to be a little shy of 32Gbps.

(PCI-e 3x4)

[modern sky]

ty i know where to look

[tribal dirge]

Just look at benchmarks for specific models (both on battery and when plugged in) on different performance modes, should give you an idea of what day-to-day tasks feel like.

[modern sky]

The heaviest task i want to do on it would be 3d modeling

[tribal dirge]

Do keep in mind that higher temperatures like 90-95C are normal for laptops

[tribal dirge]

CAD I'm assuming?

[modern sky]

Nope, I wanna get into making 3d assets for my games in godot

I can do CAD at uni

[tribal dirge]

Ah

Generally the blender recommended specs are a good point of reference when it comes to creative mesh work

Iirc they recommend an 8 core CPU, 32gb of RAM, and 8GB of VRAM

This should also be just fine for a lighter game engine like godot, although you might want just a little more vram for more complex environments

Maybe 12gb of vram, but I think you should be able to survive on 8GB

[umbral heron]

For modelling game assets in Blender my friend has 4G VRAM and says it's more than he needs

[tribal dirge]

I'm going off what blender recommends for blender 5.0

[umbral heron]

Yeah, but it's simple game assets, not whole-ass renders with lightning, physics and whatnot simulation

[tribal dirge]

Hey man, they claim that blender 5 can run off 8 gb of system memory and 2gb of video memory. LMAO

And a 4 thread cpu

But its minimum for a reason

[ashen spindle]

making models for a game scene != needing space to have the enitre game scene running

[vapid ruin]

https://www.gsmarena.com/honor_win_5g-14377.php ~500 EUR, if true big. Cause then you can justify why the software support is not as good.

[tribal dirge]

I know, which is why I'm not really looking my at godot recommended specs

And really only looking at blender recommended specs

[ashen spindle]

yeah but if you make assets for a game where you might use those sizes, individual assets in blender would always use less

blender recommendations factor in that you could do entire scenes in blender

[tribal dirge]

True, I guess there really is no good basis to what specs are good enough for blender then

[umbral heron]

Ryzen 375/380 with lots of RAM, good laptops

[tribal dirge]

Yeah I would imagine Strix Halo is plenty for blender

Esp since cpu and gpu memory is shared

Sure it's using not super fast memory for its gpu, but that doesn't really matter for modeling

[iron wave]

Aren't there 64GB mods for some GPUs?

I wonder if I could go to 128. That would be insane.

[tribal dirge]

I've seen modded Nvidia GPUs that can go up to 64gb with a new PCB and vbios yeah

They literally snag the chip from like a 4070 and put it onto a new pcb with like an A4000 vbios and more VRAM

[iron wave]

It's not just a memory chip swap and a flash? Oof.

[tribal dirge]

Well yeah, you're physically adding more video memory

So you need a new pcb

[iron wave]

I wouldn't mind a 64GB 5090 but that's quite an oof.

[ashen spindle]

till blender 5.1 HIP-RT still isnt supported so generally getting a nvidia gpu is still the better option for it and only once thats in we hopefully see that gpu selection doesnt matter much for blender anymore

[iron wave]

I figured it was double capacity chips.

[tribal dirge]

It's not that simple. Unfortunately

[iron wave]

It used to be. :-(

[tribal dirge]

Oh, Idt 5090 will even power on in a 64gb configuration, since it's not designed to run with a 64gb vram capacity, it was only designed to have either 32gb and 96gb of GDDR7

Unless you want to do some crazy stuff with the Vbios of Blackwell Pro 6000 I don't think 64gb is possible

[iron wave]

96 is even better.

Man, that would beat out the A100 setup my work has with two cards.

[ashen spindle]

if you could find gddr7 chips with double capacity then you could mod it just like people did with the 4090

but we're still waiting on the 3gb g7 chips to hit market iirc

if you can actually do that on a 5090 then we will have to see when someone tries it

since we dont know how and what nvidia locks down in detail

[tribal dirge]

The crazy Chinese modders lmao

Although I understand why they want to mod these things so badly

[tribal dirge]

The Tesla A100 was kind of crazy ngl, it was like one of nvidias first actual AI chips. And now look at what they've turned into

Now we got H200 and B300s

[ashen spindle]

hey you're skipping over b200

cant forget the card just because it dies within a month

[tribal dirge]

Lmaoooo

[tribal dirge]

You give them an inch and they take miles

Man Nvidia really isn't the same after Ampere

Ampere changed everything for Nvidia

[ashen spindle]

nope that was volta

volta had a 2billion r&d behind it

[tribal dirge]

Oh yeah I forgot that Titan V existed

It's like a special variant of Turing but specifically built for HPC

[ashen spindle]

other way around volta was made and turing derived from it for consumers

[tribal dirge]

Oh I see

[ashen spindle]

thats why turing had all the extra hardware and still gets the latest dlss updates and all

[tribal dirge]

Makes sense

I'm surprised they even make game ready drivers for Volta at all LMAO

[iron wave]

Yeah, two 96GB 5090s would have more VRAM than the 3xA100 setup at work.

[tribal dirge]

Wait, doesn't each A100 have 40gb of vram each? So 3x40 = 120gb?

Unless they made a special version of A100 with less

I only recall there being two, a 40gb one and an 80gb one

[ashen spindle]

yes he said 2x 96gb

[tribal dirge]

ouhhhhh

my brain skipped the two for some reason LMAO

that makes more sense

not to mention 2 blackwell pro 6000s has more cuda cores than those A100s

actually, even a single pro 6000 blackwell has more cuda cores than all 3 of those A100s LMAO

[ashen spindle]

cores dont mean shit on gpus

[iron wave]

We are limited by PCI-e bandwidth IIRC.

[tribal dirge]

ah

[iron wave]

The guy managing it might have convinced the CEO to buy an insane machine from Nvidia, but he's keeping it a secret beyond "it needs to be in a datacenter" and my guess of it running on DC seems to be correct.

[ashen spindle]

I hope its not one of the upcoming Kyber racks which are too heavy to install them in traditional data center floors

[tribal dirge]

might be one of their HGX systems if they need to install it in a datacenter

[iron wave]

Feels like it.

[frozen drift]

https://youtube.com/shorts/0GO3pkGhY-4

[frozen drift]

Yeah back to normal asus we go

[ashen spindle]

shorts are also just a really bad format for actual information

[reef patrol]

And UFD in particular

[modern sky]

thats why im willing to donate to blender i would love to see it happen i hate depending on quda so much as a linux user

[ashen spindle]

I mean if you're willing to suffer then stxh laptops and being a first gen tester would maybe be an option xD

assuming they do proper follow up using and finding new issues will do more than donations to get them fixed

[wispy spire]

96gb 5090? You mean 6000 Blackwell?

[iron wave]

Hopefully ROCM ends up doing really well.

[crimson wigeon]

Doubt

[iron wave]

We love modders.

[ashen spindle]

rocm is fine and will do fine

just mostly for AI/datacenter not consumer

[iron wave]

I kind of want to buy another 4090 but I need to save my money.

[frozen ingot]

[iron wave]

I also want Threadripper. :V

I have enough money saved for all of this stuff but I need to use it to move out.

[frozen ingot]

kinda glad I didn't have to move out from parents in this housing economy

[umbral heron]

Do not compile Chromium

[iron wave]

Why would I?

[iron wave]

Yeaaaaah, also I have an EV so that makes it even worse.

[true blaze]

First wooting keyboard just came in don't exactly know what to do with my wootility settings..

First thing I did was put actuation to 0.1mm and rapid trigger on and then kinda just started playing brawlhalla lmao

[iron wave]

That's essentially all I did and I have a Kickstarter Wooting Two.

[true blaze]

I have a wooting 60he not v2 I'm too broke for that

[iron wave]

You're too broke for a full sized keyboard? Oof.

[frozen ingot]

yeah not that common to have electrical outlets/charging access on parking spots here unless you own a house

[iron wave]

I could manage with a laundry room that connects to a garage.

[frozen ingot]

og 60he still cuts it

[true blaze]

no I can afford the full sized I just find it unnecessary

why get the full sized when the 60 can do all the same things with a little less features like a numpad or wtv

[iron wave]

I have three Wooting Twos, I find it very necessary. (Workstation, VR PC, work computer at work)

I use the numpad a lot.

[true blaze]

And I'm not you lol

I don't use the numpad at all

I have no need to

[frozen ingot]

I didn't use numpad for years until I used blender, its pretty handy for that ngl

[true blaze]

I just kinda play games and go about my regular day I don't have any need for numpad

[iron wave]

I do be programming.

[frozen ingot]

but I'd rather have it separate than part of my kb

[true blaze]

I program too and I have no need for a numpad lol

[leaden kiln]

I have an separate numpad but I never used a numpad outside of work

[iron wave]

It's handy for numbers.

[true blaze]

that's the point of the numbers at the top of the keyboard lol

[iron wave]

That's slower.

For me at least.

[true blaze]

so simply reaching your finger to the top of your keyboard is slower than moving your entire hand to the far right side of your keyboard to input "21" and moving your right hand BACK to the right center of your keyboard?

hmmmmmm....

That just seems like a lot more effort for something that doesn't really need it

[leaden kiln]

can be faster if you have the mouse in your right hand, or if you simply enter a lot of numbers, ime at least

[iron wave]

If you're entering a string of 10+ digits yeah it's faster because they are all right there.

[true blaze]

Yeah that's a good point but if you're coding which is the example at this case there's just like no point lol if there's a lot of number just copy and paste.. if you can't do that then I can MAYBE understand a numpad but you still have the numbers at the top of your keyboard just use those.. and if you can just get used to the layout of the numbers at the top (personally I am used to it) it's not hard

That's just my opinion on it anyway - I'm in no one flaming anyone for using a numpad if it seems that way then I apologize but.. yeah :D

[leaden kiln]

well it's your keyboard so of course you should buy the size you want, I bought a v2 60he yesterday even though I already have the original 60he

[true blaze]

I just don't have the funds or anything to go around throwing money on 3-5 different keyboards when one does the trick

Like as is this keyboard feels great the sound quality is the best I've personally owned and the responsiveness and stuff are awesome

[leaden kiln]

I might just sell my original, don't know how much I'd get for it at this point though

[frozen ingot]

thinking of upgrading switches on my 80he and put the old switches in my 60he

then maybe sell it

[umbral heron]

I need to switch springs and lube the rest of my Tikkens

[iron wave]

Works for me.

[warm ore]

Decided on what yet?

[frozen ingot]

no

[tribal dirge]

yeah, heck you can contribute to the project yourself! It's open source!

[frozen ingot]

I want 4mm travel but not sure about the closed bottom on tikkens vs my current lekkers

[warm ore]

I see

[tribal dirge]

contributing to the project will make a much more meaningful impact to the Blender community!

[tribal dirge]

my dad has a threadripper PC, it absolutely shreds my 9950X3D LMAO

[iron wave]

I have the last gen AM4 12 core guy.

[tribal dirge]

he upgraded from a Xeon processor like a few months ago

[iron wave]

Nice.

All of that PCI-e.

[tribal dirge]

yeah, iirc it was a Xeon W 3265

it was an expensive CPU

[iron wave]

Yeah they are.

$4K for a bundle.

[tribal dirge]

64 lanes of PCIe 3.0

[iron wave]

9970X + 128GB + mobo

[tribal dirge]

oooo

[iron wave]

I want more money.

[tribal dirge]

lol, Threadripper Pro series is insane though
