They’re doing well in the UK

[marsh glade]

They mentioned it in the context of the message being a scam, and thus in furtherance of the conversation that needed to be stopped.

[heady hazel]

with how bad domestic evs are id be happy about more innovation

[tribal dirge]

they're doing very well in the EU iirc

[nimble arch]

I did look at getting the BYD Dolphin Surf.

Seems a reasonable electric hatchback.

[unkempt lake]

I was gonna pivot to chatting about evs xD

[marsh glade]

That sounds good

[heady hazel]

you did pivot to talking about evs lol+

[gusty kiln]

Does BYD guillotine your fingers?

[unkempt lake]

If byd brings some production to canada i'd be happy

[heady hazel]

no thats a tesla feature im afraid

[tribal dirge]

not that I know of

[nimble arch]

My area is mostly communal parking and they’ve slowly been installing some EV chargers.

[gusty kiln]

Nice

[nimble arch]

Might be worth the leap to a fully electric car.

[gusty kiln]

Byd cars do look nice

[tribal dirge]

they even got rid of their recessed handles because china banned electrically operated recessed hangles

[unkempt lake]

https://www.autonews.com/byd/an-byd-2026-global-expansion-in-europe-canada-ev-tariffs-0128/

[tribal dirge]

mechanical door handles are required in china now

[heady hazel]

makes sense i do wonder why they do not just use the nissan gtr style ones

[tribal dirge]

recessed handles are banned

[heady hazel]

mechanical aswell?

[tribal dirge]

they must protrude

[alpine patio]

ice

[tribal dirge]

yes

[heady hazel]

ahh i see

[tribal dirge]

its a safety thing

they noticed it made rescues 2x slower

which is bad

[alpine patio]

i saw that they need to partner with a canadian company i think

[heady hazel]

honestly if its frozen most of the time my doors wont open doorhandle aside

[alpine patio]

pretty cool policy

[heady hazel]

so it only applies to current cars

[tribal dirge]

only applies to new cars that is going to be made after 2027 ish iirc

but companies like BYD are being proactive and are already making the change

[heady hazel]

yeah that makes sense

[nimble arch]

Rivian seems an interesting choice as well. They support car keys in Apple Wallet

[heady hazel]

thats neat

im just not sure how those ev pickups rank in terms of licenses with weight limits

[dull hollow]

i saw a crash video with one

couldnt get the doors opened and had to get rocks to smash the window

interior already full of smoke

Should probably be in memes but still

[heady hazel]

Lol i wonder if that really still works

[fair gull]

i mean callum should be able to test it

[pale sigil]

I plan to later

Just waiting on Lulu to come home first

[fair gull]

maybe lulu passes the age check as well

[pale sigil]

XD

[blissful halo]

Range is going to tank when you start hauling stuff with EVs, and charging while hauling a trailer isn’t much fun

[heady hazel]

im more concerned that they are so heavy i cant drive them with a normal car license without trailer tbh

[pale sigil]

Different angles Tok

[blissful halo]

I think they sold like 1000 F150 lightnings in Norway over a few years, everyone prefers diesel for that vehicle type

[blissful halo]

True, but I mean some EV suvs are almost 2.5t

[fair gull]

or people like buying things that arent f150 sized behemoths

[heady hazel]

i mean iirc 3.7 tons or 4.25 tons is the new german law i think it applies to europe aswell

[blissful halo]

Newer ev suvs just keep getting heavier, I believe they’re reaching up to 3 tons full spec

[heady hazel]

yeah the hummer ev is at 4 tons iirc

[blissful halo]

Fiat 500 vs 2026 EV suv

[heady hazel]

uhh yeah

[blissful halo]

Thats a surprisingly small payload capacity

[heady hazel]

at this point i do not feel comfortable driving a small car on the road, we have a classic mini and id rather not

[fair gull]

this as an EV would be nice to see

idk if they already do that

(mainly cause i rarely even see ~~SUVs ~~ light trucks ala F150 in europe)

[blissful halo]

I’ve seen smaller EV variants of that, but not something of that size

[heady hazel]

iirc they do yes at least the sprinter vans

[fair gull]

this is based on the same base

[blissful halo]

Come north, 1 in 3 cars are a suv

[heady hazel]

yeah you do get them in ev spec

[fair gull]

sorry didnt mean SUV but meant uh light duty trucks

like the f150 for example

[blissful halo]

Yeah they’re not as common, but I still do see them quite a bit

[fair gull]

idk how i got stuck on SUV

ive seen 1 f150 ever outside of the US

with my own eyes in person that is

[heady hazel]

you can get imported ones

[blissful halo]

Isuzu D max, Maxus, Hilux etc. but they’re company vehicles 8/10 times

Ford is less common, but it makes sense cause they’re more expensive to buy and maintain

[fair gull]

literally 99% of company trucks ive seen looked like the mercedes i posted earlier

lol

or if not open flatbed they were VW Caddy kinda ones

[compact relic]

there's a ton of ford rangers here but F series are rare

[blissful halo]

The VW caddy style cars has started dying out a lot in, it’s mainly pickups or vans

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/NIXd3PEbsNk?si=8nkPEZ57-UAR60Ce

why has all of his videos recently been “everything sucks and everything’s fucked”

[heady hazel]

we have a few ram 1500s driving around here

[heady hazel]

because its kinda true

[frozen ingot]

SUVs are everywhere at least here in sweden

[sudden imp]

Yeah but it just doesn’t make the content any good to watch then

[blissful halo]

What else is there to make content of nowadays when the market is at its worst in a long time

[fair gull]

like i later said my bad i meant light trucks

[blissful halo]

Prices sucks, products kinda sucks

[fair gull]

my head just was stuck on SUV when typing that

[ashen spindle]

because instead of wanting to see new hardware like the gpu in the new intel laptops people want to see rant content

[heady hazel]

new hardware is also not comming out

[frozen ingot]

I see quite a lot of those light trucks too but its mostly work vehicles used by companies

like construction, plumbing, carpenters etc

[ashen spindle]

intel got new gpu ip in panther lake thats newer than their dGPUs, its beating apple in some areas, but GN doesnt do laptop stuff so rant it is

[fair gull]

id hate if companies started using american light trucks that all look like f150s or clones of them

[frozen ingot]

but they also drive smaller work vans like vw transporter/caddy or similar models by other brands

[heady hazel]

i mean the vw amarok is a thing

[blissful halo]

“Small work van” >Transporter

[fair gull]

have never seen one myself

[frozen ingot]

seen a couple

[blissful halo]

Transporter is pretty big if you ask me

[heady hazel]

when i worked at a social thrift store i did drive an old sprinter van it was kinda fun

[frozen ingot]

also seen some US pickup trucks but they're relatively rare

[blissful halo]

I’m surprised that those old 2.1l vitos got some punch in them

[heady hazel]

i mean ours for sure did not, i was flat out most of the time trying to keep up with the ford transit van driven by my coworker

[nimble arch]

Rivian will start selling the R2 and R3 in the UK next year

[frozen ingot]

fuckin 3.5 tonne monstrosities

[blissful halo]

Imagine those in London

[heady hazel]

ulez compliant

[frozen ingot]

would not want those on our roads

[nimble arch]

SUVs and crossovers are everywhere 😔

Although

I absolutely HATE the blindingly bright LED headlights

Need to wear my sunglasses as a pedestrian, honestly.

[heady hazel]

i should install osram nightbreaker in my 90s halogen housings

[heady hazel]

i have fully tinted rear glass and a sizeable rear wing but they still blind me from behind somehow its crazy

[blissful halo]

Don’t you love when you see a car Kia picanto from 2010 with led bulbs in their reflector headlights

[blissful halo]

They blind me from my side mirrors

[nimble arch]

I'm glad that I don't drive these days, especially in the evenings.

Maybe I'll get a car again one day.

[heady hazel]

even if i flip down the mirror i get blinded

[nimble arch]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c626rng1v63o

[heady hazel]

i can see how that would work eu wide but one market only?

[steady sail]

soo i should get a new SSD or what should i do i got my 2nd Watchdog Violation

[fair gull]

could also be gpu/ram dying

doesnt necessarily need to be ssd

[magic minnow]

every company should just boycott the UK

Send them back to the stone age

[steady sail]

not the ram not this day and age

[frozen ingot]

well if you guys are too incompetent to regulate your market others have to

the US corporate model claims to love healthy competition but it only lays the groundwork for monopolies to happen

[heady hazel]

i how often in sucession?

[frozen ingot]

and the more monopolies we get the worse things get for both consumers and other companies

[heady hazel]

dont forget that weirdo in the uk is currently suing steam because they have too much marketshare

[frozen ingot]

well I didn't claim all their attempts at regulation were sound, I can see where they're coming from on that but I don't think its the right approach

[steady sail]

i don't know when my first was

[frozen ingot]

steam does have a bit too much market and overall influence but at the same time its not valves fault the alternatives are way way worse for the end consumer

if only some companies put their obsession with flogging their customers dry of money aside for a change maybe we could have better alternatives and a healthier market

[heady hazel]

does your ssd pass the smart tests?

[steady sail]

[heady hazel]

might be a bad windows update that messed up tbh

[tribal dirge]

not a bad idea to check if DISM brings up anything

[leaden kiln]

my pc keeps waking up right after I put it to sleep but powercfg lastwake says it's the powerbutton waking it 🤨

[tribal dirge]

something shorting out the power pins maybe????

maybe static discharge?

[leaden kiln]

maybe, I have no clue what's doing it, I can use the power button normally to put it to sleep or wake it and have no problems with it turning on or off randomly

[steady sail]

uhm idk how to do that LOL

[unkempt lake]

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

In cmd

[steady sail]

thankies @unkempt lake

[steady sail]

soo this has been stuck there for 24 minute

[sullen bear]

Yeah can take a while

[steady sail]

Yeah after that it came up with this

[vagrant pagoda]

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

[odd pawn]

Is 25h2 the performance depleting version?

[umbral heron]

Well, I got data, but no estimated_age in there

[ashen spindle]

uh are you sure you already got it? usually it takes a couple of days

oh check predicted_age and predicted_gender

[umbral heron]

No predicted* either

[ashen spindle]

did you select all checkboxes on the data?

[umbral heron]

Only account data

[ashen spindle]

might be in something else idk, I'll check once I get mine I selected all boxes

[umbral heron]

[nimble arch]

My guess is 26

[pale sigil]

Gonna do this on my alt

[leaden kiln]

duude even putting the sleep timeout to 5min it just wakes up again right as it goes to sleep 😭 😭

[empty wren]

Found this, what a neat sd card reader design

[empty wren]

https://share.google/ymmLvpaD6QiFrvjtn

[heady hazel]

i like bambu labs printers but i do not like the fact they are not open source

[empty wren]

I would say there is a very good reason for them to do so

easier to manage a few skus with potenially slight variations in some instances for exmaple

Also with how the overall product is there is not much more for extensive modifications.

Even more so with the a series hotend and the rest of toolhead.

There were some aftermarket hotend options for the p1/x1, no real place for it either.

[solemn crystal]

Found a usb c port on my laptop. my keyboard works on it but not a storage device (weird). but is usb c faster for the keyboard?

If not i'd just use the port to charge my phone

[empty wren]

USB C on its own means absolutely nothing

[solemn crystal]

fair

[empty wren]

If it is 3.0 or now known as 3.2🤨 that should have a nicer ceiling as prior the USB 2.0 was the tottering at the peak

[solemn crystal]

i wish i could get it to work w my external ssd adapter. for some reason the usb c port can charge my phone and my keyboard works on it... BUT it cant detect storage smh

i dont know what one it is. im on some asus laptop with a ryzen 3 3250u.

good thing i got my 2 tb ssd before the price hike tho. it was 120$

[ashen spindle]

no keyboard needs anything more than usb2

[solemn crystal]

2 tb pcie 4.0 7000 read/write w/ 2 gb ddr4

[empty wren]

You should have an adapter for USB a in the box

[solemn crystal]

yes in the wooting box. i have it

any idea why my storage device wont work in that usb c port? for that it could give faster speeds

[empty wren]

80HE for instance has 850mA rating

[solemn crystal]

yea my usb ports are not 3.0 id reckon

theyre aroudn that 2.0 thing i think

im on a low end laptop

[ashen spindle]

80he is just fine on usb2?

[empty wren]

Well that assumes you hit all the keys at once with tachyon

And 8khz polling and scanrate

[empty wren]

Probably is, in typical usage yeah

[solemn crystal]

i constantly use the 8k polling. i bought it for that and the fact of that its made nicely

[ashen spindle]

no like I use it on a usb2 slot and its not having any issues

[solemn crystal]

i use 8k polling all the time so im assuming i should use the usb then

[empty wren]

I believe you

[ashen spindle]

no you can use literally whatever you want it doesnt matter

unless you press like 50 keys at once and need that at 8k maybe

[solemn crystal]

trfhdgcy6xbs

just tried keyboard spamming some letters

[cerulean arch]

Well you will never notice 8k polling on a keyboard vs lets say 2k. On a mouse it changes more

[solemn crystal]

my computer is the bottle neck. LOL. keyboard under actual usage though works good

8k polling is nice tho how i barely have to tap the keys

gaming wise its useful.

also anyone have keycap reccommendations

[empty wren]

Though they did write this is all

[solemn crystal]

i want the max rgb ones that also look normal under less rgb

i have the black ghost case too

[solemn crystal]

im on a basic razer basilisk x hyperspeed mouse that takes a double aa battery and my wooting 80he

[tribal dirge]

yeah true

iirc the 2HE consumes even more

cauz it has more RGB LEDs

[empty wren]

Hmm not sure on that one

Though I do have one laying around I check later

600mA it looks like

[tribal dirge]

ah

oh wow

[solemn crystal]

idrk if anyone has done this, but. by making my default mp3 player spotify i can open spotify w one of my keys

anyone know how possible it would be to turn some of the keys on my 80he into a tiny macro board

[sinful quest]

hmm, you want macros? wootility just offers dks, but you can use 3rd party softwares to set up macros afaik

[solemn crystal]

neat

i have an idea tbh.

[empty wren]

Yeah wootomation is depreciated

[solemn crystal]

yk how on the 80he theres the 4 keys in one area

the middle, on right side

[sinful quest]

you mean the arrow keys?

[solemn crystal]

No. Above them.

[lyric hatch]

Yeah with third party apps like AHK that's possible

[heady hazel]

eh personaly i prefer my 3d printer to run whatever software i tell it to

[empty wren]

That there is different story

For example

I do not think we have foc in klipper

[heady hazel]

i mean my ender 3 runs a custom firmware that enables auto bed leveling etc

[empty wren]

But there is a good chance the service extruder bambu labs uses is foc controlled

[empty wren]

You get that with most printers these days

You wanna see a crazy version

?

[heady hazel]

for sure but like i compiled it myself etc

[heady hazel]

yeah

[empty wren]

Ah you wanna compile it fair enough

[heady hazel]

i mean its just the tinkering that i like aswell with 3d printing

that beeing said ill for sure convert to direct drive , just got the caddy to do so

[empty wren]

https://youtu.be/UuO69kIL7io

[heady hazel]

thats impressive

[empty wren]

It also does much lower force contact

Than any loadcell out there

9g of force

But....

[heady hazel]

but in this household we use the finest aliexpress solutions

[empty wren]

It only works with klipper

And the firmware on it proprietary that even has its own module

[empty wren]

That works

Just play around with tension

[heady hazel]

yeah it was 3$ im considering running a lighter stepper

[empty wren]

You can check out a pancake 17

[heady hazel]

hmm yeah that might be a decent option

[empty wren]

It is the biggest one can reasonably do

[heady hazel]

for me 3d printing just opens up a whole lot of cheap part reproduction capability

[empty wren]

Otherwise do servo

[empty wren]

Definitely brings fabrication more in reach to everyday people

[heady hazel]

yeah i mean i paid 50€ for the printer from a friend, imo a very good deal

[empty wren]

Wanna know something sad?

[heady hazel]

hmm?

[empty wren]

If a diy hobbyist sells their machine diy kit

It drops a lot in value

[heady hazel]

yeah i mean he has a bigger core xy printer, got fed up trying to sell on german craigslist so

[empty wren]

Ah I know what you mean

Kleinz....

[heady hazel]

yeah kleinanzeigen its full of scammers and time wasters

[empty wren]

A damn shame

[empty wren]

He might be better off honestly figuring it out maybe offering services to print like a company parts

Make the money back on the machine at the very least

[heady hazel]

i study 3d design he studies mechanical engineering i constantly tell him lets make prototyping etc

[empty wren]

I spent some time in cad today, and doing more gantry designing

[heady hazel]

return of investment on a 3d scanner imo would be super fast

[empty wren]

Possibly

[empty wren]

The thing is though, they make point cloud or a mesh

Not a parametric model

[heady hazel]

no but i can pretty much work with a mesh

[empty wren]

It is hollow inside👻

[empty wren]

But alright great if you can

[heady hazel]

here is the printer he designed himself by mainly just stealing designs from other printers

[empty wren]

Oh yeah you did share that

[empty wren]

To be honest if you go on any diy printers site or GitHub

You will see credits to other projects

[heady hazel]

yeah i mean he did get a donor printer and then went from there which makes sense

[empty wren]

That is one sketchy tensioner though

[heady hazel]

I told him the same

I was like listen bro im not an expert on stability but thats gonna rip off eventually

[empty wren]

At least he made the attempt

[heady hazel]

He did redo them after i told him to reinforce them

[empty wren]

A guy sold a near brand new ender 3

Cuz he could not get it to work, I got it to work in like 8 minutes

[empty wren]

Well good

[heady hazel]

Like i got to the ender and in like 5minutes of tinkering with it i got a decent benchy its not rocket science

[empty wren]

I never ran anything too fast

Perhaps when I get my largest machine running I will optimize for that

[heady hazel]

Me neither i run stock speeds im just trying to get reliable prints

[empty wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1355601899188912228/1355988689586622765/IMG_4996.mp4?ex=698cd9e0&is=698b8860&hm=c3fb532d75b1d430977f74d1d55dcab56b299e3a0a9e528928fc1e74deaa6db7&

Final machine will be close to that

[empty wren]

The slower you print the better technically

There is a reason industrial machines print slow

[heady hazel]

Yeah i have time i just want good quality parts

[empty wren]

Hot and slow for best mechanical properties

[heady hazel]

Yeah im currently dialing in the temp for petg

[empty wren]

Try 242 for the hotend

If you have not

[heady hazel]

i run it at 244 that seems to be fine

[thorny hound]

Hi! I encountered a small problem when transporting the keyboard. I didn't receive a 6-inch rubber foot. How can I trust the company when I spent almost 400 euros on it thx. 🤔?

[heady hazel]

[empty wren]

Mistakes happen

[thorny hound]

Yes

[empty wren]

Send them email

Surely will be sorted out

[thorny hound]

I dont need i just want let them know what company he are.

[empty wren]

The issue, they cannot possibly know without someone saying so.

These keyboards are fabricated and assembled in Asia.

[thorny hound]

There was too much rush and it happened.

Yes zinc alloy

[empty wren]

By the time they are in the warehouse the packaging was already sealed

It would cost a lot in QC to have the regional warehouse unpack them all

Inspect all the elements being present and accounted for.

[thorny hound]

I wanted to know if you also encountered problems.

[empty wren]

Ah

[empty wren]

I melted some switches when cleaning them, sent wooting an email and it got sorted out.

[thorny hound]

technical quality control is crap I think at Wooting.

[empty wren]

Have you given a chance to use the keyboard even yet?

[thorny hound]

I use it cut somtime with 10 inch skate

[empty wren]

I mean sure it is not top tier boutique, but if you bought the keyboard I imagine you want the gaming software features and the zinc alloy was fancy on a budget.

[thorny hound]

I need to go is late 😅

I mentioned to you how much money it cost me.

I made a little announcement so you can see how things can go wrong when you pay a lot.

[heady hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/jonah-hill-i-guess-bro-bro-i-guess-ok-man-gif-6278747235421617446

[empty wren]

Unless you pay a master artisan, welcome to the world of mass production.

[steady sail]

It can go wrong even if u pay even less

[reef patrol]

Even a Ferrari can have issues coming out of the lot. If you're not even willing to reach out to our support to receive any missing accessories, I'd argue that's not our fault.

[smoky parrot]

Wild that he refuses to contact support

[umbral heron]

I'd argue that Ferrari comes with even more issues

[rough osprey]

ye ferrari not a good example lol

luxury cars 😅

[reef patrol]

A high end gaming keyboard is a luxury product, not an essential tool.

[rough osprey]

its parts probably get tested much more and all

and simpler

Do you want more keys? Do you consider the pre-modded state value? If so, yes

if been thinking about getting it because of the extra keys and the 8k hz. my a key on the 60 he is very unresponsive

i think its a yes then

Should I buy HDD's now or wait till they're cheaper 😅

[reef patrol]

I just bought a 14TB refurbished one... so not the best person to argue for or against 😄

[smoky parrot]

14tb

That's a big un

I have 1 tb

[halcyon moss]

1tb is tiny these days.
cant event fit phone pics on that for very long

[reef patrol]

My 3TB is old and full. So I figured I'd buy something larger. And the price difference between a new 8TB and a refurbished 14TB was basically non existent.

[smoky parrot]

I play maybe 2 games

[old marlin]

don't buy 1TB HDDs please

[smoky parrot]

No, SSD

I don't have an HDD anymore

[reef patrol]

They're useful for slow media.

Don't need an SSD for Video

[old marlin]

yea but then get more than 1tb

Does it make a difference for 80 GB videos? Could they stutter or something if ran on an HDD? Or how does this work, is it buffered?

[halcyon moss]

wat

[ashen spindle]

not even remotely an issue for playback

[umbral heron]

I think they mean editing aka random access for big files

[ashen spindle]

well that would mostly be sequential and cached or cpu heavy

[umbral heron]

Onyx Boox Go 10,3 looks interesting

[halcyon moss]

i think editing big files would benefit from an sdd yeah

make a diff-~-~-

[leaden kiln]

definitely monochrome eink for the win unless you go gallery 3, I had the boox go color 7 but if I was buying one again I would go b&w

[reef patrol]

Video editing is not slow storage.

Video PLAYBACK is.

Can't really buffer a full video all at once for searching.

[halcyon moss]

@grok what is the data rate of a dvd?

[ashen spindle]

at least 2

[reef patrol]

Maybe even more than 3.

I really like and love Wooting

[rough osprey]

damn both

[reef patrol]

At that point you're beyond the average user though.

[umbral heron]

I saw the price difference and thought... yeah, I'll be fine with b&w

[nimble arch]

Depends on the film, some can be 50-60 in many scenes.

[halcyon moss]

144megabit/s is easy for hdds
they do 100megabyte/s

Wooting is the best keyboard I've ever used

[rancid vector]

are membrane keyboards modable?

[halcyon moss]

yes

[rancid vector]

foam mods mainly i guess?

[halcyon moss]

keycaps

[plush stirrup]

I was thinking more like 3x 22tb 😭

[plush stirrup]

If you have a work discount, WD directly beats all of these

[halcyon moss]

i got 4x 16 i think..

not sure what the capacity was

[plush stirrup]

About 18eur/tb or so for a 22tb, if you shuck externals it's way less but also more risks

[lunar elm]

maybe i lowk shouldve just balled and went for the 64gb cudimm

and in case ur wondering- this was ironically the cheapest 48gb kit

[reef patrol]

48GB will be fine, unless you're doing some very intensive AI or Video Editing work professionally tbh.

I have the regular non, Royal kit in 2x32GB @ 6000, and I only got it cause I originally had a single 32GB stick in an emergency upgrade from AM4 to 5 and needed to save money where I could. 64GB wasn't much more expensive than 48 at the time, so I went with it.

[lunar elm]

nah bcs im on ARL and also want to OC

[halcyon moss]

oc memory? mochos instability for 1-2% gains?

[lunar elm]

if it isnt on the verge of exploding you’re doing something wrong

[ashen spindle]

intel wants some decent ram oc or your frametimes are kinda shit

so on arl you want ot spend time on it

[lunar elm]

I might be either IMC limited bcs shit bin or board limited

I could boot 8400 on h16a but on this h24m in really struggling to do that

with the h24m im also ram limited so fk

ill try again with h16a bcs that was def running into heat problems

[crude steeple]

how much did they cost?

[magic minnow]

2 lungs

[lunar elm]

200 SGD after selling my 32GB 6KC30 kit

I need more ram for VMs and applications

My dear @discord, your app will boost it's priority to real time and it will cause high frametime fluctuations in CS2.
︀︀Forcing it's priority to always normal with process lasso, will drop the frametime to normal values.

Errr

Good question

[vapid ruin]

one way to find out

[nimble arch]

Security innit

[hollow path]

hopefully they finally fixed the airplay bug on ios, so annoying

[fair gull]

the yes one

neo is va i think

my current non neo g9 is also VA but not available anymore

and all the new ones only have 1 displayport sadly

has anyone had the issue where when using the gamepad (an analog profile), moving the control stick can control default windows apps? like if I type S into the windows searchbar it'll also move down with the S input and then I won't be hovered on the search bar anymore

just wondering if that's normal behaviour or if there's a way to get rid of that, cause I plug in my fight stick and don't have that issue

its also not steam controller, I exited steam and same thing

Logitech supstrike just launched and they launched it WITH a patent. If only wooting did this when they launched the 60he, would they get way more people into their brand.

[reef patrol]

We... we do have patents though.

I don't think you understand what a patent does exactly.

[restive mantle]

why are there so many clones then?

[reef patrol]

Because... the 60HE builds on an existing standard? The GH60.

What we can patent is implementation of switches and sensors, firmware.

[restive mantle]

I'm talking about the hall effect

[reef patrol]

We didn't invent hall effect.

[restive mantle]

hmmmm not sure what the superstrike uses as switches, I wonder what exactly Logitech is patenting and whether or not cheap clones are able to be produced that do what Logitech does, what do you think?

[restive mantle]

if you didn't patent hall effect, then your patent was realistically ineffective at preventing clones

[reef patrol]

We can't patent what we didn't come up with. But we can patent and trademark aspects of it - our unique implementations of our code and other things.

No amount of patents will prevent clones. Chasing clone makers in China is a losing battle. We compete on quality.

[restive mantle]

I also wanted to point out that if Logitech's patent is ineffective, Wooting should absolutely produce a competitor for this mouse, although I know that most of Wooting's capabilities are for keyboards.

[old marlin]

What

Why should wooting make a competitor for a gimmick mouse

[tired wren]

and i don't think it is an easy thing to do

[restive mantle]

I'm sure many people thought HE keyboards were a gimmick at first too. I watched a few videos and read a few comments, and the consensus seems to be that this new Logitech mouse IS a game changer.

[old marlin]

all the people i trust with mice have been of differing opinion

To me it honestly really shows how much people shill logitech if anything

[restive mantle]

If I were to be honest, from what I hear, the quality differences are marginal. People buy Wooting not because quality but because these consumers have more money and want the best, but I argue you guys are not capturing for maximum market share

[old marlin]

Logitech just made clicks tgat have hard to tes latency so the results look insanely good

[old marlin]

People buy wooting for the software and longer support

[lofty pivot]

you may be online too much in the tiktok/discord crowd. They very much do not represent the general population

[old marlin]

If you buy a random chinese he board you probably will not see a firmware update and if it is buggy your board will stay buggy

[lofty pivot]

discord enthusiast groups are mostly young folks with very different values, so their judgement on why people buy things is a bit skewed

[reef patrol]

Always interesting to read yet another thread on Reddit about how their cheap knockoff board bricked itself after a month, and the seller refuses to help.

[restive mantle]

I have yet to hear a single review that says wooting keyboards are significantly better in quality, though please send me a review where that is the case. I always hear "it's very close to the wooting".

[reef patrol]

[restive mantle]

oh really?

[lofty pivot]

people buy wooting because you get real support, ease of use, and top tier software/firmware updates for a very very long time, all packaged into a high quality overall package

[restive mantle]

send me some of them, I'm actually happy that is the case

Just send me some examples that justifies it then, and I'll be quiet about the wooting case

[lofty pivot]

if you're consuming 'reviewers' on youtube, it may do you good to have a look at who these reviewers are

[old marlin]

I think the funniest ones were tge led and he shared ic package ones tgat just grilled themselves

[reef patrol]

https://giphy.com/gifs/this-is-fine-9M5jK4GXmD5o1irGrF

[old marlin]

Build quality wise alone wooting isn't exactly good value

It really is all about what you get outside the physical keyboard

[lofty pivot]

yeah judgement solely on build is a bit of a warped look at what people look for in keyboards, and also a warped view on pricing/how things get built

[restive mantle]

I'm ngl, I barely use wooting software after I initially set it up

[rough patrol]

Wooting is also super modding friendly so if you feel it is lacking in any way you can take matters into your own hands

[lofty pivot]

you use wooting software every time you touch your keyboard. Software includes firmware updates that improve consistency/performance of your keyboard

people confuse software with = the thing i only use to set up board, but forget software includes the thing running your keyboard at all times

[old marlin]

Yea but you could set it up the way you want to, there will be updates to your board for at least a couple years and if you do have an issue you will get support

[restive mantle]

I also don't feel any difference from when I first got the the keyboard to now, so not sure how the firmware argument holds, unless there are examples with metrics of what you've improved that I can't feel because it was so well integrated?

[old marlin]

took them ages to allow pcb mounted stabs but at least they have them now

[lofty pivot]

sure, here's the rtings article showing how switch selector took us to 0.02 true deadzone

https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/wooting/60he-v2-magnetic

some snippets to compare performance

these performance improvements were direct result of the recent switch updates to firmware

column one is wooting, column 2 in first photo is the venom, and in second photo is the TMR fun60 ultra

we beat both of those via recent updates to accuracy and deadzone

[restive mantle]

Nice

[lofty pivot]

not including the bug fixes that constantly get applied, which do not happen with same regularity on a lot of boards

for example techless found the drifting actuation issue in recent review of one of the comparisons

[restive mantle]

Good to know thanks for sharing

[lofty pivot]

that bug existed and might still exist in that keyboard because they don't have a full firmware team working on those things - it just gets fixed whenever the oem they get firmware from gets around to doing it

[restive mantle]

yeah makes sense

[lofty pivot]

so when people say things like 'wooting quality is shit for the price', they forget wooting literally has on staff teams of firmware/software devs that are priced into what you pay

[old marlin]

Which usually is never cause the oem is already selling a newer hardware revision

[lofty pivot]

sure if you only look at the raw build material it may not be the best, but then you include everything else like support, constant updates, 4 year warranty, workers who are paid fairly with proper benefits - and you get things that people are happy to pay for

[deft sapphire]

oh no

[lofty pivot]

it just usually doesn't apply to a lot of younger gen folks who are at the stage of life where they only care about min/max money spend, which is fine, but plenty of other consumers are happy to pay more for a company that does those other things

[lofty pivot]

i know, it's tragic. I think we see that in every 2nd or 3rd review lol

[deft sapphire]

it's so funny to me

double strap

[raw zephyr]

You need to send them this diagram by Tak, Jed

[leaden kiln]

strap is way too complex please make it easier

[deft sapphire]

what if you connect a strap to a strap to a strap and have a really long multi color chain

[kindred hornet]

patent this idea and make millions

[deft sapphire]

so true

[restive mantle]

I'm in this category and I think for me, as long as there is quality differences between wooting and cheaper competitor/clones, I'm okay buying wooting, even if there is a premium of $100-200. But up until now, I had the perception it was the same and it was killing my post-purchase perception of the brand.

[reef patrol]

Then you've created a christmas tree decoration.

[deft sapphire]

just need to be able to buy straps on the store now

[lofty pivot]

it's partially on us to fix those mistakes in how people view things, cause people just don't know (like how our deadzone is 0.02 now and that we outperform the TMR keyboard), but content team is a bit busy so a lot of things that we want to make to educate people on these things haven't been made yet

[restive mantle]

I see I see

[lofty pivot]

i think generally if people know all the details they're quite understanding and realise that wooting does a lot. But without it being shown to them one by one, people don't realise a lot of things

[restive mantle]

I see now, honestly yeah it's very much a visibility problem, I can understand that.

I think a dev blog or something of that nature would be amazing.

[lofty pivot]

your average 'peripheral reviewer' is also not the type who is going to deep dive into those aspects because they're usually young and are just peripheral enthusiasts who are being sent free boards to promo

so most reviews end up just a 'build quality' and 'value' review instead of a full indepth look at things

[restive mantle]

true

[kindred hornet]

ive never watched one of your videos so im curious to know what do you do differently

i peeped it a little bit and ill fs watch your stuff you seem very well educated

[lofty pivot]

i'm not a reviewer, i work for wooting

I used to do youtube in the past in other content areas

[kindred hornet]

oops

[jaunty ivy]

Most reviews are just people reading the spec sheet and sucking up to the sponsor

[kindred hornet]

ESPECIALLLYYY the ones on tiktok

cuz its so easy to monetize off of

[lofty pivot]

the peripheral review space is a bit wacky

[kindred hornet]

i like optimum hes pretty good with his reviews

[lofty pivot]

there's entire networks of reviewers whose entire job is they get sent whatever item, they post a positive review, sometimes not even on youtube but just a twitter review, then sell the product 2nd hand after

it's a bit silly really

[kindred hornet]

do those reviewers get good commissions based off their sales or is usually js puny and a free peripheral

[lofty pivot]

they're usually very young or live in cheap countries or both

so the amount they earn from commissions/coupon codes and selling the peripheral is enough for them

[kindred hornet]

when i was super into the custom keyboard stuff i watched a lot of like randomfrankp squashyboy glarses stuff like that

[restive mantle]

@lofty pivot any plans on the company roadmap for a high performance mouse? I mean the brand to me, is positioned as a high performance gaming peripheral brand, this seems like a probable step forward.

[lofty pivot]

never say never, but basically if we ever did a mouse we'd have something game changing for it, so until we have something like that we wouldn't do it

wooting is a bit unique in that we don't really just release products to push profit/revenue higher, otherwise we'd just launch a ton of simple products, we want the product we release to be something we can say improves the market

[kindred hornet]

would you try to do something like logi with the HE clicks

[kindred hornet]

innovation is never easy though

[lofty pivot]

i think it'd be neat to do a mouse like that, but i'm not in product side so i don't have anything to do with if wooting makes a mouse like that or not - plus our expertise isn't in mice right now either, so there'd be a lot of growing pains

[rough patrol]

wooting staff have also stated in the past that since they only want to do cool new stuff and innovation they will not talk about it until it's ready to go cause otherwise competitors are gonna copy/try to ride the hype train

[kindred hornet]

not surprising since wooting is one of the biggest in the kb scene

if not the biggest

[jaunty ivy]

Razer did a rip off of wooting like with SOCD. Time for wooting to rip off logitech

[kindred hornet]

LOL i think thats the difference between razer and wooting. wooting innovates, others follow

[lofty pivot]

i do think the idea is neat, although i have questions about the 30ms claim because that sounds too high. I want to see mice with better shapes try it out

[rough patrol]

hey logitech innovates as well, in how to make the most unreliable pieces of hardware possible

[kindred hornet]

dont diss on my somehow functioning ancient g502

[rough patrol]

innovation implies that they keep getting better at it (making worse products)

[kindred hornet]

i agree but i mean they have succeeded by being a mainline on shelves and stuff, the basics + a lil more + a name gets u a long way when ur that big

[lofty pivot]

i could see it being more like a 5ms gain than 30ms personally, but even that i think is a fine new thing that makes clicks more consistent

[jaunty ivy]

8k mice seem pointless, but if they actually had good battery life when set to 8k it might be used more

[lofty pivot]

i'm not paying $180 though for a mouse with a shape i don't like just for less pre-travel in my click

[rough patrol]

my dad still uses a cheap AA battery powered logitech mouse from like 15 years ago

[kindred hornet]

new meta leaked

[warm ore]

Just use it wired with FlexCord, benefit of 8k and lowest latency/best performance, feeling like wireless.

[restive mantle]

Hm... this is interesting and noble as a mission but in practice, the more funding you have, the better your product becomes.

[lofty pivot]

well the thing is it would divide our time too and there's some growing pains with any new product category, so we'd like to focus on products we think we can both innovate in and grow company at the same time

[rough patrol]

not always, just look at all the big brands out there nowadays

[kindred hornet]

wouldnt a good way to grow to be releasing something new/out of your zone and has good quality to kinda steer traffic your way too

[warm ore]

Yes, but they can't really innovate in that space right now, so no steering to speak of.

[restive mantle]

wooting can push for profit and use funds/profit differently than the other big brands? At least that's what I imagine

[rough patrol]

now, the reason quality has been declining for ages with big companies is probably that they are publicly traded and they did the math that lowering quality impacts their sales less than the savings (in the short term at least) so they are forced by investors to make their stuff more and more shitty

[lofty pivot]

plus there's some level of 'do you really want to be the company that puts out an artisan clone and superlight clone just to increase revenues' or do you want to focus on making cool stuff instead of just focusing on profit margin

[warm ore]

Exactly

[lofty pivot]

every company has to worry about profit margin, but it's a balance of profit increase vs making products you love making

[rough patrol]

i think wooting should take my advice and make a case using my ideas and make a gmk keycap set that fits what i like

[restive mantle]

I just don't really see the benefit of treating these two as mutually exclusive, I feel like putting these two together will 10x wooting's market share and also 5x its innovation

[lofty pivot]

well we only have x amount of team members is one big thing

[restive mantle]

"only have x amount of team members" will be solved with more funding

[lofty pivot]

now you go down the rabbit hole though

many a company have screwed themselves also by going down that rabbit hole until they become a souless husk that is pumping out cheap crummy products and eventually is sold to some big brand

[rough patrol]

bigger team means more overhead + non direct work related stuff (meetings etc) = less efficiency and ability to pivot quickly

[lofty pivot]

there's balance to all things

[restive mantle]

That sounds like a leadership skill issue rather than some inevitability

[kindred hornet]

jed what is the main objective of wootings products

[lofty pivot]

also there's risk to just blindly expanding

lets say certain issues happen and a product doesn't do as well or market contracts

you now have a ton more staff and overhead and less runway

[kindred hornet]

more people = more of the same idea = less idea of personal innovation ideas = slop

[lofty pivot]

make cool stuff that changes the industry in some way, with a cool group of people who believe in the products we make, but that's just my interpretation

[rough patrol]

not always, but it is definitely a risk if you only hire people that are exactly like you

[old marlin]

30ms is straight up impossible, that is more than the entire latency of a fast modern mouse

[lofty pivot]

they're claiming 30ms reaction speed or something like that

[old marlin]

Realistically if you could properly test it, it shouldn't rewlly be any faster

But they just made a mouse that is really hard to test properly

[lofty pivot]

but the reason i'm skeptical is because the pre-travel of a mouse is so much less than a keyboard, so 30ms of saved pre-travel time sounds way too much

[old marlin]

Everything I have seen with human benchmarks seems to indicate that it isn't faster at all

[warm ore]

It's a fraction at best

[old marlin]

You also typically preload a mouse button with your finger

Which is not really a thing with it since it doesn't actually have a bump lol

[lofty pivot]

i do personally think believing in the products you make and enjoying the work you do tends to play into things too @kindred hornet - where people enjoy working at a company like wooting and it means the work they do is better too

and that is also something that gets hard to keep when you company is infinitely expanding

[lunar elm]

sandfall games mindset

[old marlin]

This is their "proof" of 30ms btw

[kindred hornet]

i agree, and thats why big companies usually just put themselves in a thinking box when theres no thinking box at all

[old marlin]

"All mice on the market" meaning the dav4p and it only being tested in one specific way

[kindred hornet]

its like when you talk with a group of friends, you have more fun and ideas than when you speak to a crowd of people

[lofty pivot]

i'm fairly sure that test also has superstrike on the lightest setting which no one is using

because everyone who has one said the lightest setting was too light

[restive mantle]

I'm skeptical of all the critique in this channel about the effectiveness of the superstrike because videos say that "I can feel the difference in hours, not weeks", very enticing.

[old marlin]

It also has their actuators hovering above the mouse

[restive mantle]

Especially since none of you guys own it or tried it yet, so this is all speculation?

[old marlin]

It also does not specify if the dav4p is running 8khz, us not in lift off mode etc

[kindred hornet]

im getting mine tomorrow, so i will for sure try to remember to give an honest opinion aswell as my settings used

im not sponsored or big by any means, so im not gonna try to extravaganza it

[old marlin]

The shape sucks ass imo, and i know i will hate how the clicks feel

[lofty pivot]

i'm sure there's a difference. Mostly in pre-travel and consistency, i just don't buy that it's 30ms different. I just think it's a nice overall quality of life improvement in consistency without worrying about the pre-travel of a particular mouse (once more mice have this tech)

[old marlin]

I am very doubtful of their latency gains since they are impossible unless that thing can make signals travel back in time

And it also is extremely ugly

[restive mantle]

tag me please, when you do try it

[lofty pivot]

i'll borrow a superstrike and play around with it from a friend, but not something i'm spending my money on until it comes to a mouse shape that I actually want

[leaden kiln]

I would like to try one, if it feels anywhere close to like magic trackpad or iPhone 7 home button I think it could be pretty nice

[kindred hornet]

add me rq so i can see ur user at the top and remember

[old marlin]

If you don't have a tactile bump you can't really accurately preload it

[restive mantle]

shape I feel like is something that you can get used to, I have heard mushy feelings on the click, but the performance impact outweighs that

[restive mantle]

added

[old marlin]

I had the original gpw back in 2019 and already hated the shape

[kindred hornet]

i honestly have high hopes for it because i do like that kinda stiffer feeling than the regular click so

[lofty pivot]

you get used to shape but certain grips just perform better with right shapes

i fingertip only, so for me large mice just don't move how i want them to move

[warm ore]

Was thinking the same, also hoping it can be implemented into a lighter mouse, not just a nicer shape.

[restive mantle]

I'll also just @ you tmr so you remember

[kindred hornet]

ok bet

[leaden kiln]

same hoping they make a 2c version

[old marlin]

ngl i personally think the gpw is legitimately one of the worst shapes that is currently relevant

[lofty pivot]

i'm surprised they didn't at least use the smaller 2c shape

[old marlin]

especially funny since it would be very easy to do

I am not even sure how much of the tooling is actually new geometry

[kindred hornet]

i think a mouse that is able to be taken apart and customized to length, witdth, grip, etc. would be cool

[leaden kiln]

my friend wants it for the almost silent clicks, but he only wants ergo
maybe they should make a dex version too

[kindred hornet]

the idea being u js need the main board

[old marlin]

Just buy a mouse that fits you

[leaden kiln]

Orbitalworks pathfinder 🚬

[old marlin]

Customizable mouse concepts just never end uo making sense to buy

[kindred hornet]

fuck ur right i forgot abt that

[old marlin]

When you could just buy a mouse in the shapr you want

[kindred hornet]

some people dont know which mouse shape they want and because of that they have to spend more money than needed to find one they see fit best

[old marlin]

And it will probably still end up being cheaper and absolutely less jank

[kindred hornet]

maybe, but thats the problem with most mice: shape

if theres a creative way to work around it, then that idea woulld blow up

[old marlin]

there is no creative way to beat physics

A shell is just gonna be the strongest if it is essentially a dome

The more you split ut up the weaker it gets

[kindred hornet]

🤷‍♀️ besides shape, theres always something to exploit, fix, and grow on almost anything

[old marlin]

This is the kinda shit your boss tells you when asking for something inpossible

[kindred hornet]

LMFAOAOAO

maybe i would make a good boss then

[magic minnow]

Or just get a custom personal made mouse for 1,000$

[old marlin]

1k won't afford you an injection tool

[magic minnow]

I know PMM does 1 custom mouse a month I think

Discord has been caught lying.
︀︀
︀︀Discord caught ditching its current age verification provider for Persona after bypasses appeared everywhere.
︀︀
︀︀They promised "facial scans never leave your device" and no uploads, but now they send your IDs and data to a third-party company.

[steady sail]

My honest reaction is
Oh no a company lied to us anyway

[crimson wigeon]

But they only claimed that amount of privacy for the facial scans, IDs were always uploaded

[steady sail]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[crimson wigeon]

And nowhere does it say facial scans have changed unless they remove that option

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats just a case of scam_nation not understanding words or logic

you can do a facial scan locally and compare it to a dataset that estimates age

you cant copy a database of state ids to check if its valid to your local pc

[magic minnow]

There’s also a chance it won’t ask for you to verify correct?

Depending on your previous activity and stuff

[ashen spindle]

most people wont be asked to verify

it will only ask you if it estimates you to be underage

[rough osprey]

so dont say 67 too often

[steady sail]

Say 69 instead

[rough osprey]

true

ah so i can use fake id images

cause all the info is basically blurred anyway

fake id with a fake ai face

and a fake dob

[rough patrol]

tony is now called mclovin

[pale sigil]

Don't most programs detect when trying to edit id

[fair gull]

have you heard of paint

man i swear discord cant win with this

people will just find a way around it anyway no matter what they do OR theres a dataleak and the "deleted" IDs show up

[pale sigil]

The latter already happened

[fair gull]

i mean again from this

[ashen spindle]

yes and discord doesnt care if people find ways around it

discord doesnt want your data, discord wants to make sure they dont get hit with a fine of you didnt do enough to keep people safe

[pale sigil]

I'm always reminded of silicon valley

Lol

[nimble arch]

It’s almost like there should be some kind of digital ID with an API platforms can integrate for these ID checks.

[sudden imp]

this is it actually. since they want to go IPO having these "features" will make it more attractive as investors like the prospect because it fends off fines

its a cover your ass when it comes to harmful online content

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter if they IPO or not you dont want fines as a private company either

why do you think you should be owrried about updates

i never got hit with notification before

[ashen spindle]

its just updates

[spare badge]

oh ok, over paranoia been watching too many malware videos

[ashen spindle]

first google result about what it is would've also shown you its just the windows tool to look out for any potential issue

checked reddit and there wasnt a definitive result+it was at 98% already when i opened my pc, it was shut down while i was asleep

thx tho i can use my pcin peace now

[quartz plume]

Guys how do u clean ur keycaps?

[marsh glade]

Spit and elbow grease

[rough osprey]

clean??

[marsh glade]

(warm water and soap)

[empty wren]

Take them all off, put them in a bowl.
Then with a brush wash them all individually with Mark's suggested formula

[marsh glade]

If you have a salad tosser, that works great

[empty wren]

Depending on the weather outside; you may have to use a hair dryer: if it is too cold to let them dry on a towel.

[rough osprey]

dry inside

[fair gull]

i just buy a new set every few months

and then i eat the old ones with some soup

[rough osprey]

BigMoneyAFK

[quartz plume]

Ok guys thanks

Now just waiting for them to dry

[rough osprey]

oh no they gone

rip

[cerulean arch]

Watch out with heat, you can easily warp them.

[empty wren]

it will not take long to dry em out, but gotta use your head

[leaden kiln]

I will wash mine in the ultrasonic cleaner 👴

[azure otter]

alphabet soup fr

[leaden kiln]

I kinda wanna get a camera again 👴

[sturdy spoke]

do you have any clue on why, in some keyboards, if you hold two keys it will spam both (for example holding w and d would result in wdwdwdwdwdwdwdwdwdwdwdwd) and in others it will only consider the last clicked key despite holding both (ex : wdddddddddddddd)? is this a keyboard setting? is this a pc setting? is there any way i can set my wooting to do wdwdwdwdwdwdwd instead of wddddddddddd ? i hope this makes sense to at least someone 😂

[knotty ravine]

isnt htat just enabling snappy tappy?

i think ive had a simialr issue when trying to strafe from left to right by holding down A, then holding down D it wont strafe right

i think ii just need to look at the settings properly

[heady hazel]

@empty wren direct drive converion is in progress ill just need a new setup for the leveling sensor, my friend is going to print me a new bracket, and a new fan shroud, i have yet to find a proper meme sticker for that

[empty wren]

ah the old creality hotend

there is at least one good aspect of it, the faces that gets mounted and screwed on

see the wrong section on the top, at one point groove mount was acceptable

[heady hazel]

supposedly its already a nicer hotend than stock, but i mean it works

[empty wren]

now a lot of stuff is pendulum mounted with a few screws at the top

actually two things to like at least

it has standoffs to the heaterblock

[heady hazel]

i ripped out the bowden, crazy how much resistance it has

[empty wren]

fairly expensive hotend that would break in that thin section

[empty wren]

did you push down on the collet?

[heady hazel]

yep, i just manually tried to force filament through the tube quite a bit of force needed.

[empty wren]

what is hottest you ran at the hotend?

[heady hazel]

244C was my go to with petg

[pale sigil]

May I ask why you haven't moved on to a newer machine

[empty wren]

okay maybe ptfe slightly softened then

[heady hazel]

i just got that printer for 50€ from a friend

figured a 4€ direct drive kit was worth it

[pale sigil]

Fair enough

Can't go wrong for that

I mean it's slow AF

But

Not bad

[heady hazel]

i mean it already has dual z axis motors

[pale sigil]

Quite excited for my p2s

Got sick of creality

But I will fix my ke eventually

[heady hazel]

i have time but i rather not try to chase 28 year old parts from nissan i can get i mainly got into 3d printing so i can make replacement parts for my skyline

or rather unobtainable parts that are out there ready to print

[empty wren]

potentially could also make a tad bit of improvement the original part lacks

[heady hazel]

yeah im hoping direct drive helps with tpu so i can reprint the foam parts of the intake in tpu

the foam is trying to fall apart so im hoping i can just replace it with proper tpu seals

[empty wren]

maybe anneal those too...

[heady hazel]

yeah i think the heat will otherwise cause trouble

[empty wren]

also siraya tech has tpu gf, if that still is not enough

[heady hazel]

honestly im not sure what temps the engine bay reaches. i just can feel it when running around the car .

[empty wren]

That is fine that specific knowledge may be in forum or even perhaps not

Worst case you will have to use silicone rtv

[heady hazel]

i have melted through the downpipe 2 times already hard to say i figured tpu is just so cheap ill try

[empty wren]

Fair enough

It could also be great bright color

If you care for that, like off the bat knowing where what is where if you care for that.

Black tpu is also not bad if you want stealth

[empty wren]

Either way do look forward to read how that ends up going

[heady hazel]

ill first try a petg print so this hose is not rubbing

[turbid laurel]

when i disable the wooting on signal rgb, it doesnt let me edit the colors on wootility

[empty wren]

wonder what happens if you close signal rgb fully, and then open the wootility

[turbid laurel]

i tried doing it rn and it still doesnt work idk why i got it yesterday and it didnt happen

i got it thanks for the help

[empty wren]

great that it worked out

[coral sapphire]

So, who else’s cpu temps are outrageous after this Windows 11 update?

[pale sigil]

I didn't think Windows could affect your temps in such a way.

[coral sapphire]

Listen, after this update. My temperatures have hit what it hasn’t before…

I’m unsure in what it could be, but I simply blamed the update

Idle I’m originally 30, I’m 40 now and when I’m sitting it spikes to 60…

Games, I’m 10-15 more.

[pale sigil]

What cpu

[lunar elm]

so what you mean is

you’re still nowhere near tjmax

we could just chalk all these “heat” issues to amd users looking at their temps being 80c and panicking

[coral sapphire]

Listen I’m rookie alr

[ashen spindle]

could be anything from dust in the pc to a fan curve being slightly different but its nothing you need to care about because its completely fine temperatures

in fact the habit most people have of monitoring temps doesnt do anything good, if it throttles you will notice it or hear it if the fan goes wild

if neither of that happens the temps are fine

[lunar elm]

It could just be due to ambient air temp being different because of differing seasons

[sleek furnace]

Can anyone help me set up my wooting 60 he v2

[sullen bear]

what do u even have rn

[neat lion]

gpu is the 4070 super

[sullen bear]

I mean atp u can sell ur 5700x3d for 400$

buy an aliexpress 7800x3d for 200$

then you only have to put in like 300$ for new ram and mobo(150$)

[neat lion]

ddr5 ram is min like 400

[ashen spindle]

depends, get 2x8 instead of 1x16 if you dont need 32gb and you are at 250

[neat lion]

16 gigs of ram tho…..

[ashen spindle]

do you need more?

[sullen bear]

also depends on your speeds

why do u need 6000cl30

[ashen spindle]

oh no you dont get 32gb 6000cl30 for only 400

400 gets you 4800cl40

[sullen bear]

you do get 6000cl30

no but seriously how much ram do you have right now

[sullen bear]

who even uses pcpartpicker in these times for prices

[neat lion]

32 gigs

[ashen spindle]

do you need 32 at any point?

or would 16 cover everything?

[neat lion]

im not sure

[ashen spindle]

bc idfk every countries price comparison websites so I default to it

[sullen bear]

https://www.alternate.nl/G-Skill/16-GB-DDR5-6000-werkgeheugen/html/product/100099374 240 for 16

[sullen bear]

it only updates prices like once per week

if not slower

[ashen spindle]

thats fine

[sullen bear]

yeah from what site lmao

[neat lion]

me?

[sullen bear]

buy these and sell for profit until u can afford ur pc I guess

[neat lion]

🤣

[sullen bear]

infinite money hack

[neat lion]

used tho

there are like 3 sellers

I mean used doesnt really matter, either it works or it doesnt for ram
