if you could just buy key caps with screens that would hook up your PC without much wiring trouble it would be cool.

somewhere between keyboard and tablet.

A lot of streamers just use android/windows tablets

my example use would be instead of having a numpad you could have the 9 last colours you used in photoshop, keys that change depending on condition. It's not an issue that a bigger screen would not solve though.

@worldly loom the only id like numberpad is for work
i just don't like oversized keyboards
you're talking to someone who uses 60%
worldly loom
What advantages does a smaller keyboard provide?
pale sigil
Personal preference, less space, bettter typing experience in some cases, cheaper also.
Numberpads to me seem pretty useless even for gaming, for work they are beyond vital (i used full before wooting, ironically when using a proto woot i kept tapping my desk!)
worldly loom
You don't make binds on your numpads?
pale sigil
Not really no, why would i, its long and i want my mouse closer xD
if i want bindings ill use different keys

Side question: Has anyone ever dealt with an RMA for an SSD before? it wont show up in the BIOS at all and Sandisk seem to keep pushing the idea across that even if it failed it should show up

"Go ahead and keep losing your files. I am an smartass, that's why I have HDDs more than 25 years old and no data lost. HDDs tend to fail in shorter time than SSDs but those failing are not bad enough to lose everything while SSDs tend to fail more in the long term badly (as it happened to you).
As HDDs fail in shorter time, you make use of the warranty while SSDs get out of the period and you waste money ad they get another purchase. It is a programed disposability."
I don't think this guy understands how you use SSDs and that everyone who buys one knows they don't last that long LMFAO
If people store data on SSD's they need to rethink their strat
zenith mirage
Realistically how long do they last? I've never really thought about it
pale sigil
3 years min
is what is expected
luckily this drive failed a few months before warrenty xD

pale sigil
just depends
zenith mirage
That's surpising, but maybe because i don't know much about flash storage
pale sigil
how well you optomize them
zenith mirage
I just store games and important applications on mine
pale sigil
Basically
if you redirect EVERYTHING including cache, anything thats writing, dont store anything on it but applications
you can boost big time
if you dont do anything and just run everything off it
it WILL die quick
more you write = faster it dies
zenith mirage
Huh
So what can I as your average person do to extend the life?
Never really thought about saving my SSDs
zenith mirage
I'll look into it tomorrow

Redirect all browser cache for a start
they write GBs upon GBs
considering that was 13 months ago thats good

Usually warrenty ends at 75tb

When asked when the next-gen GeForce would arrive, Jensen quipped, "It will be a long time from now. I'll invite you, and there will be lunch. "
oh it hurts
damn you amd with your fckn hbm
pale sigil
@zenith mirage sorry to ping but i want to get it across for you, a good way to save your SSD is redirecting data.. for example
mklink /d "C:\Users\MrPleasant_exe\AppData\Local\Spotify" "G:\Programs Cache\Spotify\SpotifyData"
So let me explain what this is doing
mklink /d
This dates back to DOS "Creates a directory symbolic link. By default, mklink creates a file symbolic link."
"C:\Users\MrPleasant_exe\AppData\Local\Spotify"
This is the orignal location of cache or example program, in this case Spotify... what we want to do is make a backup of the current Spotify folder and put it elseware or rename!
"G:\Programs Cache\Spotify\SpotifyData"
In this case i redirect cache to my HDD as well HDDs dont die quickly unless Seagate , anyway, make a folder on there and put the directly in the command as shown above, simple as that. Hit enter, it should say the following....
symbolic link created for C:\Users\MrPleasant_exe\AppData\Local\Spotify <<===>> G:\Programs Cache\Spotify\SpotifyData
If successfull you will have a folder that looks like this
There are other ways of doing this but it works 
i guess this goes for anyone interested pokes @sour garnet
pale sigil
Only offline music
latent mural
so it's lying to me
pale sigil
Like, there used to be an option to choose location of cache
latent mural
it's still there
pale sigil
that offline
songs
not cache
Spotfy downloads all songs and caches it, this is seperate to downloading your songs from premoium
*premium
i had 9gb of cache alone
i guess they merged them
pale sigil
months ago it used to have both cache
latent mural
the app data one does not
pale sigil
2 different options
cache and song downloads
Well regardless what i said above
is valid
i had to do it for chrome.... would generate so much

amazingly, iy would still be less than 5 people turning on a microwave
fickle ore
But a lot more material gone to waste
trail kiln
a bit late but I think the reason I like my numpad other than the extra keys is when I do spreadsheet stuff. Being able to type numbers without moving your hands terribly much is nice.
fickle ore
Microwave is used occasionally and pc is up 24/7 😛
fickle ore
1.7 Watts per 30cm for led strips, yeah, but it's continous usage while Microwave is used for a minute or two or less
Whatever, just a waste and added cost for PC parts. I'll be fine aslong as they don't force them onto me ffs
latent mural
when you convert that to kWh that's still nothing
tall finch
tbh you probably have a better argument against the added material waste from RGB everything
fickle ore
as I said, if it becomes the norm in future -> 7 billion people using RGB.. that's 1.7 W x 7 billion + materials + LED controller wattage so around 14 Gigawatts of waste or around 7000 windturbines needed OR 64.4 million solar panels 😛 But whatever, just fun to think about

now imagine 60% of them turned on a microwave

Have you ever played Garry's mod?
Stuff is bound to the numpads by default
I think that's the game that taught me to love the numpad. I use it for all sorts of things now
Have you tried a numpad in space engineers?
I find this conversation fascinating
People are willing to turn down extra buttons
Back in my csgo days, I would bind weapon buys to my numpad, along with jump throws for grenades
latent mural
in professional software the numpad is always used extensively, not having a permanent one even if you're gaming primarily can be most annoying as on an external one you still generally have to look at it as it might have misaligned in relation to the qwerty keyboard, when it's permanent you don't really look at it, you just input. I still keep hitting wooting's Mode instead of the * i want
kind of regret buying the wooting one, back then knowing that i'd rather want the unannounced wooting two anyway
if it gets you to love the numpad, you should
worldly loom
Well I'm glad the two has a numpad, because now I can experience analog keys
neat oriole
I play pretty low sens so the narrower keyboard allows for a larger mousepad
latent mural
i had to bind scroll lock to a mouse button
neat oriole
That said in more casual games I do bind things to the numpad
If wooting had a modular system where the numpad could be to the right or to the left I’d be very happy
latent mural
but but but you cant use it as an efficient left hand numpad when it's on the left without changing the layout
neat oriole
For less competitive open world games I have quite a few vehicle controls on the numpad
But I haven’t really played those in a while so don’t really miss it
worldly loom
I bet you use a disgusting 60% @digital cliff
neat oriole
What exactly is a 60? Is it just the main QWERTY area without function or arrows or print screen?
worldly loom
Wooting three is 60% confirmed

europeans?
no one seems to answer my question
so i suppose people are in doubt
and don't want to "take responsibility" for my future dead card
but changing from a what is this.. 5? cm fan to a 12 cm fan is quite the change in air speed/pressure
or maybe it's less for the same reasonable amount of noise? :donk:
because if this is a bad idea then i must change the whole design to be an open test bench in a cage/grille

it's all for show
the benefits of a boiling liquid would be that it would cool the coolant to a much lower temperature (also evaporation consumes heat)

not a radiator

I've gotten a near RRP (without 70 euro markup in my case) GPU just by stalking an online store every Saturday. Since for whatever reason they publish without the "mining craze" markup and then add it on top (manually?) at "working hours".
latent mural
anyone used them fancy phanteks power cable extensions?
reef patrol
Yes.
latent mural
how possible it is to make the cables shorter without making them look ugly? (destroying the fabric cover)
reef patrol
Can't shorten them. Best you can due is use some cable ties and bunch them up in a loop.
latent mural
well surely you can cut them
or it's something too messy for the pretty fabric to remain
like, if they'd use glue on the ends
reef patrol
You'd have to re-sleeve them with a lighter and new flex and everything.
At that point you might as well just order specific cables for your PSU from Cablemod or your PSU manufacturer (if they have any for that model)
latent mural
at the point i can make/wire my own cable :p
reef patrol
Then why buy pre-sleeved cables? Much nicer result to make your own.
latent mural
the reason i'm asking is because delivery from china is 3 weeks
phanteks is 15 minutes away
reef patrol
Sure - You can cut up the extensions and re-sleeve them at the length you want, if you have the skills and tools.
latent mural
i wonder what is on the female end...
the male end is messy to rewire, for sure, the cable shoes are not supposed to be opened up
I've been wanting to tint my s340 Elite's side panel for a while and today I did it! Thought I'd share it in case any one else is interested
reef patrol
😃
latent mural
Get it? In case any one is interested?
reef patrol
Looks great.
latent mural
what did you use to tint it?
I got a tint film kit from Amazon for about 12 pounds!
so like, just a film right?
hm.. maybe i could just twist the phatenks calbe
it looks more bendy than your usual cable
hm.. it is 50cm each though, that might be it
damn these things are freakishly long
maybe i should embrace the 50 cable...

In the US you can catch them near MSRP occasionally

So what keycaps did they find at computex?
hexed gyro
Double shot PBT, backlight, good design but only in US ANSI layout
haughty condor
I really enjoyed watching you guys run around the showfloor
halcyon moss
i wonder if they found any caps which are clear on the sides. 🤔
hexed gyro
Found those too
But not aiming to add those to the lineup
It was a lot of fun to go around Computex and do the livestream with more rl interaction. Wish we could do it more often.

Yeah is nice to see, watching the stream now. So nice to see 2 adults geek out about switches :p

I think my diy ssd heatsink actually makes it hotter during high cpu usage
reef patrol
SSD...Heatsink. But why 😄
latent mural
because the internet said it throttles when copying an iso over
never really looked into it
reef patrol
Sounds odd. Regualr 2,5" SSD or an NVME/SATA M.2?
reef patrol
Hmm...
I'd get one of the EKWB M.2 Heatsinks if any at all. You don't actually want your NVME to be cool, since the controller actually works better at higher temperatures.
latent mural
i put a standard adhesive vram heatskink on the controller and evrything else because why not. It's single sided
well, these fans help against mb temperatures, cant get them to go to over 30 and spin up
removed side cover, mb temp up 1C
SSD temp down 6
heh
i guess i can increase the fan speed
latent mural
temps down 10-15 degrees at full speed, heh
no side panel it is then

@reef patrol well if I had money I'd probably respond to that with "why not?"

Man I want a set. I'll keep an eye out for more drops

You have any mouse that doesnt cause RSI for you? whats ur handsize?
stone depot
Logitech MX518 and Razer Imperator were the most comfortable mice for me (shame for Razer quality). Have not measured.
fickle ore
Thanks man
Btw this new mouse from Ninox is coming very soon to kickstarter, if anyone's interested
Optical wheel, Optical microswitches, adjustable shape and adjustable sensor position
First mouse other than Bloody mice, with optical switches I think
Finally free from the yoke of mechanical switches in my peripherals 😄
stone depot
@fickle ore Looks interesting. I myself am thinking of trying ergonomic mice. At least at for work. Otherwise RSI can become much bigger issue down the line.
fickle ore
I would suggest Vertical Mouse for work
stone depot
Ergonomic mice are vertical, yes. Have you tried one yourself? Maybe any suggestions? Last time I checked they had very cheap options and bit pricier. Don't know what is the sweet spot and what to lookout for.
fickle ore
I have only tried some at shop, my RSI is quite new.. Been researching and looking for a lightweight vertical mouse because weight is also bad for RSI
Maybe this? I have no idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOWm5nZ7kFQ

Sister kicked off after coming back from Mexico, called me all sorts because the sky box wasn't connecting to the Internet, I don't watch TV downstairs not have I while they were gone... Anyway we moaned and I said use some common sense and check the eithernet cable
Come downstairs and she has the entire TV out and she's messing with the hdmi cable, I said have some common sense women why would anything have to do with the TV when it's the sky box streaming so you should automatically assume its a cable in the back of the damn sky box....
Anyway after telling me multiple times the eithernet cable was plugged in it wasn't.

ethernet over hdmi
latent mural
anyone ever used ethernet over powerline?
latent mural
i need to connect a house to the network, i have a choice of 2 sets of wifi extenders or just powerline
latent mural
it is
pale sigil
If you're connecting 2 houses?
latent mural
but like, what's the speed:reliability ?
pale sigil
It really depends on the power lines itself
latent mural
to simplify, i'm connecting a shed to the internet
pale sigil
Like older power cables etc can be really bad
For example I got 120 via mine
My cousin got like 8 on a 200mb line because his houses power cables are all built differently
If your house is fairly new it shouldn't be an issue
Really depends on how old the wiring is, how much there is and how it's built
Another issue can be latency
My powerlines add around 10-15ms
I used to use them in 2011 but now they are jusy used for the sky box lol
latent mural
hm..
pale sigil
Only thing i can suggest is buying some on amazon
Testing them
If they don't work refund them lol
latent mural
can't do that here
New wires were laid less than 10 years ago
Except... not by a certified electrician
pale sigil
Then I'm not sure sorry
latent mural
The whole house(s) except high power devices (kitchen etc) are connected via nested junction boxes
The real problem is that poweline ethernet costs almost the same as 2 routers
halcyon moss
i used some ethernet over power, cheap ones, they broke and i got max 2MB/s
latent mural
There's a dsl connection on the far end of the house, with the cables running around walls, so I dont want to take them out.
Around 15 metes away is the closer end of the house, where i intended to put a wifi router/extender/etc on the window.
30 meters from there is another house, with the window on the side, so effectively 35 meters away with no clear line of sight.
I need to add internet to that house using the same dsl connection.
latent mural
I must specify that nothing can be attached to the outside of the house.
so if I could save all that time and mess by a powerline adapter..
hm...
pale sigil
So you wanna share connection lol
solar hinge
My powerlan doesn't get worse with latency at all
latent mural
Well yeah, hence the powerline
pale sigil
Idk what you're on about quinn
Well what I'd suggested if I'm honest
Is using an eithernet cable, cover it in tape and put it a bit under soil
Use a switch in the other house
Then just do whatever from there
latent mural
Yeah, you can stop there, that wont be done :p
pale sigil
Well then I guess your only option is powerline but I can't guretee anything and I don't understand why 2 houses are sharing the same cabling
@latent mural are they connected houses? This is really confusing for someone who lives in the UK at least
Every house has their own power lines
latent mural
the houses are on the same estate owned and built by the same person
pale sigil
Yes but they shouldn't share the same cabling
pale sigil
The only thing that should be connected is the house to the main power box
Also quinn he said he can't
With that logic if I used a power adapter I could be leaching next door :p
If I got the same model etc
latent mural
It was prohibitively expensive to add a separate power box etc so it was decided to keep the house connected, just running on different phase wires as there was no intention to sell the houses at any point.
pale sigil
If it did I'd be really concerned xD
latent mural
well..
solar hinge
I'd go with callum's idea, UTP cable outside to connect both
pale sigil
Plus you can get a solid gigabit network going
Nothing more bae than having a gigabit network
solar hinge
Or powerlan
pale sigil
Well I guess 1000mb is
Powerlan nah
Tbh I only use or suggest power adapters as a last resrtn

Ugh... Never buy extenders. Get another Access point and clone the SSID.
Extenders are like the lazy, slightly handicapped cousin of the AP. It's like. HUB. Outdated and useless.
fickle ore
just lay some fiber ez
glad scroll
Extenders are only cheap cause they don't feature any compute power themselves, they just relay the data to the router/switch/hub
latent mural
yeah
luckily there wont be other people's networks there.. soo
seems my fancy routers have repeater modes in them
as wds is bad according to the devs or something
