i build websites/web apps for a living so my keyboard gets a lot of use. after 5 years i cant complain too much about the longevity of the razer ๐
underpromise, overdeliver
toxic jolt
that's fair
sick creek
i'm very much looking forward to the two tho
toxic jolt
I do a decent amount of typing, but I haven't broken a keyboard yet
yea I definitely am
sick creek
yeah i am easy on my hardware
i really dont understand how people break mice/keyboards
unless they are literally picking them up and slamming them down
crude cipher
I pay ~43usd a month for unlimited call/text, 8gb of high speed data, unlimited slow boat. AT&T prepaid
That's including fees
toxic jolt
I can definitely feel that the springs have word out on WASD tho lol
sick creek
what switch type?
toxic jolt
mx reds
toxic jolt
I can't remember. Are browns linear?
sick creek
tactile bump
reef patrol
I pay... 15 for more data and calls than I could ever need. In the entire EU.
sick creek
like blue but with a bump at actuation instead of the click
toxic jolt
lol you guys are lucky
sick creek
it just has a divot for the tactility
toxic jolt
I had a friend who had blues for a bit, but I couldn't really feel the curve tbh
timid chasm
85 damn
toxic jolt
between the bump and everything, it kinda just melded together
sick creek
if you dont have a family plan in the US, the per-line rates are stupid expensive
well, blues should click
before bottoming out
toxic jolt
what I really wanted to see was a curve switch with no bump or anything
timid chasm
not so bad on the lesserknown companies
sick creek
i dont understand what you mean by curve
toxic jolt
like non-linear
sick creek
well, all non-linear switches have a bump or click of some sort
thats what makes them non linear
toxic jolt
lemme rephrase cuz im bad at explaining
I mean like a switch that has the "non-linear" part at the bottom, as opposed to actuation
so I can feel the resistance when I'm about to bottom out a key
sick creek
oh, weird, ok so you really mean like a progressive spring?
one that pushes harder the more you compress it? like in a car/truck?
i dont know that that exists
usually theres a set amount of force built into the spring
sick creek
it would be super expensive to manufacture progressive springs that tiny haha
i feel like, anyway
sick creek
cause to get progressive springs you have to temper the steel at different rates which at that small, i dont even know if thats possible haha
toxic jolt
^^^^
sick creek
or just buy o-rings ๐
sick creek
is the switch compatible with o-rings?
sick creek
well yeah but i mean, the o-ring wont get in the way when you go far down?
toxic jolt
that's true. I don't plan on setting analog stuff throughout the entire keypress, mainly cuz I bottom out keys almost always anyways
sick creek
actually nah you should be good
i just looked at the switch again
you might have issue with the LED showing through if the o-ring isnt clear
but thats not a big deal
toxic jolt
where did you buy t hem from?
sick creek
MUCH cheaper
for the most part, those o-ring packs are a rip off because people take advantage of the fact that people are buying them for a keyboard
you can get packs of 500+ for like $10-15
toxic jolt
oh LOL
sick creek
you just have to know the inner diameter
timid chasm
I wouldn't think that would cause an issue. It only relies on the stem for light travel, right?
toxic jolt
bro I order them from china, you literally get a full 120 set of them for $1
sick creek
haha ok then nevemrind
toxic jolt
granted it takes 2 months for them to arrive
sick creek
but liek mechanicalkeyboards.com charges out the ass for them
toxic jolt
it makes sense tbh
toxic jolt
I'm not sure how many people use o-rings, but legit they wouldnt make much money off of them anyways
so it makes sense to upcharge a considerable margin on them
sick creek
i guess
toxic jolt
most people won't hesitate to buy anything thats 10 or less
especially if it's convenient
sick creek
i always thought it was ridiculous
paying so much for something that is fractions of a penny to make
toxic jolt
that's why it's nice to have a staff discount at a tech store
micro-usb cables for pennies
too bat they're not super useful anymore
sick creek
i'm so glad everyone is moving to usb-c
toxic jolt
me too but they cost like $4 staff ๐ข
toxic jolt
it's a mess all around
sick creek
yeah
timid chasm
looks like a printer cable
sick creek
usb-b 2.0 is like the above but no hump
old usb printer style
but y'all kids dont even know the pain of serial printers
toxic jolt
I dont lol and I'm happy
timid chasm
that port on motherboards where people are like WUTS THIS
sick creek
LOL
yeah, they were on mobos until like a couple years ago
and as someone who actually had to use one at some point, i was thinking to myself
who still has a serial printer that WORKS
done this before too
usb to com port to com-serial adapter
tiny tide
I don't think I've used a serial port except on a cisco router
sick creek
the diag port yea
haughty condor
Oh I hate Razer keycaps @sick creek
sick creek
its not even a standard diag port either lmao
haughty condor
I gave away my Black widow to the first taker lol

whenever someone brings one of t hese cables in
"it stopped working"
-"what does it plug in to"
"uhhhhhhhhhhhh"
haughty condor
Haha
toxic jolt
and im just like "bro that cable is older than me, I'm not sure what you want from me"
sick creek
i feel for you, and i dont
toxic jolt
"is it VGA? Nah... Is it for a mouse?... Nah"
sick creek
it was funny though, when radioshack still had stores i loved going in there and asking for the location of adapters that the people there had no clue about
tiny tide
radioshack? I think I was a small child when they last existed
sick creek
i had one locally until about 2 years ago
i am kind of upset they closed their stores because i used to go there for LEDs and resistors and shit
now i have to order everything online
i still have a shitload of their resistors though, so i should be good for a few years
toxic jolt
that's the fun part about franchises like that
they dont just all close at once, they close when business stops
sick creek
ya, mine was open until they literally couldnt be open any longer
because people still went
sick creek
yea, i mean they actually had a pretty decent hobby section in the back and most cables/wire that you would need for hobby electronics projects
now i cant fucking trust amazon even because there are 1000 different types of 16awg
and 99% of it is shit
sick creek
oh man, blockbuster was the shit. used to rent n64 games haha
toxic jolt
at least with radioshack, you know that if the cable was there, someone at some point needed one, ordered that one, and it worked for them
sick creek
yeah
toxic jolt
with amazon, you're just trusting reviews and stuff
cuz theres like 10 people selling the same thing
sick creek
so many fake reviews on amazon now too
toxic jolt
^^^^^^^^^^
sick creek
i was just the other day looking at a screen protector
two sellers, same exact product... one with 3 stars, one with like 4.9
4.9 had almost 100% fake reviews
i clicked into a few profiles
and it was like "19 reviews" and they were all for screen protectors lmao
they game the system so hard. just order the product back to their own warehouse so tehy can get the "verified buyer"
toxic jolt
LOL so
AIB cards out
STILL cheaper to buy FE card
Rest in peace economy
Maybe not after shipping and such, but for the slightly better stats lol

Hey friends I just got my wooting one and I'd like to get set up to start programming it using the SDKs but I'm still new to it all so I have some questions about setting up. The developer portal and GitHub both mention DLLs. Should I be creating a DLL in order to program the keyboard? The examples on the repo include a DLL already so is it possible to just add that to my project? I haven't worked with a DLL before so I'm also not sure as to how those differ from the SDK functions and libraries. I appreciate any and all advice for first-time set up. I am on a mac as well.

That sounds weird. Typically packages are flown once, to the destination country. Unless you pay for some kind of express thing, then they fly it however and whenever they can

I'm in a state with multiple Amazon warehouses and I've had my item go from a warehouse 2hrs~ away, all the way to the west coast and then all the way back

tall finch
I think they do it so I dont get 1 day prime shipping anymore

@toxic jolt Memphis is where FedEx has its HQ. I'm guessing there's very little shipping between Minnesota and Regina, and so you just got bundled into a lane including all the rest of the traffic coming from your southeast. If you had 1 day shipping, the route would have been much more direct, but since you had probably 3-5 day shipping, they can easily take a 2000mi/3000km detour and still arrive on time.

what does 144hz for hdmi? 1.3 and up?
haughty condor
Technically, yes
In practice, most monitors don't do 144 on HDMI, even if they are sold as 144
Usually just DP and dvi-d
(assuming 1080p, 1440p needs HDMI 2.0)
timid chasm
That's a load of crap. If it ships with a 1.4 HDMI port it should do what the spec says
reef patrol
HDMI is Specced for 120 max with each revision, so 144 is always a bit of s gamble.
timid chasm
then the wiki needs changed cause they have 1.3+ specced for 144 at 1080
reef patrol
No?
HDMI isn't hard locked to anything by the way - It has a certain bandwidth, and the colour space compression and resolution dictates the hz.
AND the monitor has to support it as well of course.
Not just in terms of having a 144hz panel, but actually accepting a HDMI signal that tries to sync at 144hz. Even if it does this over DP on the monitor, isn't a guarantee that it will do it over HDMI, regardless of the version.
Yes - HDMI is messy. It was never intended for PC use. That's what DVI and DP were for.
timid chasm
That's the annoying part. That monitors don't like to support it
reef patrol
My rule of thumb. Don't bother trying +120hz over HDMI, unless you can't do DVI or DP. It'll lead to hours of frustration ๐
timid chasm
I've never messed with HDMI apart from consoles and side monitors but somebody was asking me and said all they had atm was HDMI
ended up just telling them to get a DP cable
That would be interesting to see if consoles ever went over 60hz. Unlikely but interesting
haughty condor
Xbox One X and S support 120hz now

spiral pier
Damn
Not sure what the it looks like. But you could probably split that into smaller functions
ashen spindle
yeah but that would make it harder to read, a lot of lines are just sorting/reading values from dictionaries
and if I put that into functions it takes less space but also much harder to find errors
also I had to sort dictionaries by value, don't ask why, it's the only thing that worked the way I needed it 
spiral pier
No generic sorting things you could dry up?
ashen spindle
maybe some weird type that I don't know of, but everything I know like stacks, LinkedLists etc. all had some issue that made it not work/too complicated
it probably only works because I don't really add something after I sort them, or restart if I do, otherwise I'm certain this would break as well lol
oh, there was one thing that would've worked, but that needed me to use pointers in C# and WPF seemed to not really like that
also that was from like 6 months after I started coding so I really didn't feel comfortable using pointers in C# when I just managed to understand C++ a bit lol

So, I've ordered a pc with a 1070 ti, amd ryzen 7 2700x. But some parts arent in stock yet so I can cancel the order. So if I wait for black friday, I will be able to afford RTX 2070. Should I keep the order, or cancel it, and wait for black friday?
ashen spindle
probably better to try and get a cheap 1080 or 1080 ti instead
bold grove
is the 2070 even worth it for you?
timid chasm
Do you intend to use raytracing? If not then consider what @ashen spindle said
junior sentinel
Yeah, I will use ray tracing, but the question is will the rtx 2070 even handle it 1080p 60 fps?
I've heard the 2080 ti can handle it barely 60 fps 1080p
ashen spindle
will you use it, or do you think you will use it?
junior sentinel
I think I will
ashen spindle
a lot of games wont have it on release
ashen spindle
so expect to wait a month or more after a game comes out before you can have it
timid chasm
maybe
junior sentinel
it could become a standard
ashen spindle
yeah but then it's most likely better to sell your 10xx and get a 30xx or whatever they call them
junior sentinel
true
bold grove
"could" i highly bought that will happen the next year or after
junior sentinel
Do you guys think components like motherboards, ssds, cpus and gpus will drop a lot on black friday this year?
I know the rtxs probably wont
but the others?

outside of amazon
junior sentinel
yeah
I wish I could pick amazon
but sweden man
also here, the rtx 2070 msi armor costs about 100$ more than the 1070 ti
bold grove
i dont think black friday is a huge thing in europe
so i wouldnt bet on getting a huge deal
but cant hurt to wait
junior sentinel
hm yeah
ashen spindle
yeah for a consumer I just can't recommend an rtx card currently
junior sentinel
I think the rtx 2070 will handle raytracing 60 fps, otherwise it would be useless to release it
unless they find 30 fps acceptable
ashen spindle
not at high settings, pretty sure
ashen spindle
yeah that's what I want to see more of aswell
junior sentinel
but I think ray tracing will become more mainstream in maybe 2 - 3 years?
thats when my graphics card warranty runs out
could probably upgrade then
also, the pc I ordered now already was on sale
the 1070 ti was
but only like 10% cheaper

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this.

keep it steady dude, it will melt. Google good temperature, check if its leadless or 60/40 solder
pale sigil
I don't have one
fickle ore
you might need more temperature if its leadless
reef patrol
It can be one of several things.
Your solder doesn't have flux in it. Might need separate flux added, or you're using it up too fast when heating up lead.
Your solder iron tips may be shit or broken down due to oxidation. If you don't clean your tips after using them and seal them with a bit of solder, they get this way
Your solder iron might be too cheap, and it can't heat up properly.
fickle ore
but dont go overboard with temp if its 60/40 cause u dont wanna keep smelling lead fumes
its poison for you
aye
leadless is safer
for amateurs
reef patrol
Easy question : If you push some solder wire against the solder tip, does it melt at all?
Or is it because it stops heating up and "melting" once it's on the parts?
pale sigil
Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't

zenith mirage
Nah nah, if you bought one, used it then returned it
As quin is suggesting
I think 
pale sigil
oh right, ye no i would not do that for a solder iron.

Just drop the ยฃ20 then dude, then see if you can sell it off afterwards of you no longer need it
pale sigil
probably gonna get this like Monday
or tue
tis gonna make me cry
really exited to make this board
zenith mirage
Go to a school/uni that has an engineering department and ask to use an iron
You never know, they might let you
zenith mirage
I look back to some of it fondly
Mainly seeing all my mates consistently
Other than that it was meh
fickle ore
get a desolder pump aswell if you need to fix shit
pale sigil
ye i had one of them

I would enjoy a nice long ride to school
Maybe not 40 mins
And my wallet my disagree as well

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, @pale sigil asked me to send pictures of my cable management. But my PC was apart. Now it's finally assembled again. Before you start hating on VGA power cable: my GPU is so heavy it's sagging, I used the cable to lift it
I like my builds clean and cozy

Yooooo apple is adopting the prefers-color-scheme media query in safari

What is a keyswitch popper @haughty condor

@harsh terrace you should protect ur board mane, prop that gpu up with a stick or summin. Just make sure you don't flex it in the opposite direction!
I have a piece of a black coathanger that I cut (broke with my hands lol) in mine to stop that from happening
toxic jolt
It's probably not that bad
No permanent damage or anything but you can hella get some shady stuff
I had a GPU that I didn't have screwed in properly, and I was getting tons of crashes and drops and stuff
But it did work
Because serial
harsh terrace
I've screwed it all correctly, it's saggy anyways
Like I said, I tightened up the cable to lift the board
chrome estuary
My new GPU is too big to fit in the top x16 slot on my mobo (Damn OEM motherboard) so its stuck on a x16 wired for x4 for about a month
Still pulls 60fps ultra 1080p on FC5
timid cedar
100k in $ if true? 
...that's a lot of keyboards
But then again, small chance since governments will not like a new currency which will be hard to control; unless they planned that out as well
ashen spindle
yeah that's the fishy part, to avoid any of the laws, mostly in eu countries, about ICO tokens, they haven't really said anything, where the company sits etc.
timid cedar
This
But hey, they at least they acknowledge that problem
I presume they have a solution but don't ready to reveal it to public
but again
that's a lot of keyboards :
and graphic tablets
and pc

Is raytracing and dlss worth a 110$ premium? And when do you think ray tracing will become mainstream?
zenith mirage
years from now
ashen spindle
it will, question is just when
plush summit
not now
junior sentinel
yeah, because I can buy a discounted 10 series 110$ less without ray tracing or dlss, and a little bit worse performance (about 11%)
ashen spindle
but no, for a consumer the 20xx cards arent worth it really
plush summit
best wait untill there are more solutions for ray tracing
junior sentinel
(less than a 2070)
plush summit
will you care about the 11% less performance?
junior sentinel
Possibly getting a 1440p 144hz but unsure about that
probably getting vr in the future too
zenith mirage
they're sweet
junior sentinel
I don't know if ray tracing or dlss will benefit me
ashen spindle
get a 10 series and sell it when a 30 series comes out is my advise, because rtx will be better on the newer cards aswell
junior sentinel
hmm
yeah
they will handle ray tracing much better
I wasnt really sure if rtx 2070 would handle ray tracing well, since the rtx 2080ti struggles to hit 60 fps 1080p with ray tracing
zenith mirage
in the 0 games that support it ๐คฃ
reef patrol
Is it worth it for average consumer now? No. Treat it like VR. Niche market with a heavy early adopter cost and limited applications
If you're buying a 1080(TI) anyhow, It can be worth it.
junior sentinel
buying a 1070 ti
my country prices are weird
the 1080 is over 100$ more
and this was discounted
This is a big decision for me, I'm upgrading from a gtx 660 lol
ashen spindle
yeah 1070 ti is in a good spot right now, cheaper than 1080 and AiB's are not allowed to overclock them so nvidia has a reason to still sell 1080s, but if you spend like 15 minutes overclocking it you'll have basically a 1080
junior sentinel
I've never had the privelage of having ultra settings
ever
so a gtx 660 to a 1070 ti is huge
tiny tide
ultra settings are a waste compared to high anyway
ashen spindle
enjoy the new fps heights ๐
junior sentinel
yeah gonna love this machine
rip
also, my other components in my old current pc are also shit, the processor is i5 2400, ddr3 ram, etc
so I'm building an entirely new one
its gonna feel so much better
tiny tide
ye I just upgraded to a 2600x and a 1080ti
junior sentinel
neat
I'm getting 2700x
probably overkill for what I'm gonna do
but 8 cores 16 threads
I might stream
and I'm gonna video edit
/animate
but ryzen is so cheap
so I'm glad
tiny tide
I plan on upgrading to the highest end chip when zen2+ comes out like 2 years from now
junior sentinel
yeah
I'm glad I moved from intel to amd
much better price to performance
I wont have to change the cpu for a very long time
pale sigil
I gave up waiting for a 1080ti
My gpu failed and it was unbearable waiting weeks for a new one
reef patrol
ashen spindle
what did you get, 1080?
plush summit
Rip
ashen spindle
yeah
tbh I don't get people who buy 700w+ PSU's but don't get something above gold rating
pale sigil
Felt like royalty unboxing it
ashen spindle
unless its in a bundle like your case
pale sigil
I'm literally a fanboy now
I was before with my 1070
Though the shit part of my gpu is it doesn't have a backplate
Dissspointed me a lot
ashen spindle
eh, they dont do anything anyway
pale sigil
Was close to returning it hehe
It does
One stops me from cutting myself
Two it looks fucking awful
And I'm not one to care about astetic
ashen spindle
preferences, I like seeing the PCB more, but how do you cut yourself on a gpu? O,o
pale sigil
Hell my desktop is pretty hidden and I hate LEDS but it bothered me
The pins, I've done it before.
ashen spindle
pale sigil
Sure it was by accident
But still happened
I also used to put little lego men inside
Now I can't xD
ashen spindle
rip 
that's a valid reason for wanting one haha
pale sigil
I didn't even take a pic
It was grsat
Was a fire unit taking out a fire
Hehehhe
I also had a lego figure holding up the gpu pretending to lift
ashen spindle
you should just take a small metal pipe to place it under the gpu as if it the gpu was standing on it and put a firefighter next to the pole

I got a 1080 now and it's fucking glorious

Permission to post a hilarious gaming peripheral, active kickstarter campaign
It's OK I'll post it anyway https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lorenzosantos/tilted-the-worlds-most-versatile-pc-gaming-wearabl
This is making me smile so much
Looks like Cooler Master launched a direct Wooting competitor, yesterday.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolermaster/controlpad-24-keys-with-analog-control
I'm seeing two headphones on kickstarter with inbuilt gyroscopes that would be an interesting combo with the headphone mounted gyroscope. I wonder if the sound engine of games like ARMA 3 actually change the orientation of the surround sound when you tilt your character in first person. It does while flying a vehicle, of course.
It's funny to see a recent technology being made cost effective then a bunch of companies jumping on the opportunity for a product, often in competition...
ashen spindle
that would be something nvidias new RTX tech could be used for in the future, should those headphones ever take off
or the TrueAudio thing AMD had a while back, which is basiacally RTX for sound
warped dove
Well all that really says to me in isolation is that it didn't have a particular amount of hype, at that time, from people who use kickstarter.
As far as I know, it could be great, it could be disastrous.
plush summit
im kind of worried that coolermaster will overshaddow and overtake the wooting two
ashen spindle
with a product they have so little trust in they need to kickstarter it instead of use their own money?
idk
tall finch
maybe I'm biased but I never considered buying one of those standalone pads for anything
I dont see them as a huge market
like I never felt like i wanted to have a smaller keyboard to use instead of my normal keyboard ๐คท
crude cipher
If Wooting released numpad I'd get it but they did the 2 instead
timid chasm
Same but I'm a picky pos and I'd need it to basically blend with the original wooting otherwise I'll just get a two eventually and I'd want it to be able to work off 1 usb but 2 is doable
ashen spindle
trying to use this API to get some info, took a look at how some people worked with it, everything that poeple used is php, node.js or similar, I'm looking at it and I really dont get how people like working with that
I could never imagine going into web development
crimson wigeon
Because it's trendy and cool, you can do everything with the web! EVERYTHING!!!!
ashen spindle
like I'm doing this with C# in a windows forms application because that's what they used to make to dev example in 2012 and I only quickly needed to add some references that changed, everything works and it's so easy for me to understand everything, but the web stuff others made? idk man that's not for me
pale sigil
Welp my soldering iron was attempted delivery today and well I was at the shop so now I have to wait till Monday ๐
timid chasm
Not sure if it'll work there but when I'm gone like that I always leave a "if possible sign for me and leave the package note" if it's not something super valuable
at least for safe area but it may waive protection of the item
zenith mirage
Aw man I'm annoyed at that. We missed some parcels at 11am yesterday. Thing is we were all in at that time
The guy must have not even knocked. We even have a doorbell and a sign asking people if they could please ring it
reef patrol
They do that often here in Denmark. Just to not have to walk up stairs.
They aren't allowed to leave then either
No wonder. You're basically communicating in gibberish. No one knows if you're swearing g or complimenting each other. (Muffed perkele)
Our local DHL guy is always nice and punctual. Never had a bad word. And he's a nerd too, so we always discuss my latest secret package 
Our professional postal guy at the shop is also a great guy. Too bad he only does the pro deliveries in the area.
zenith mirage
I live in the UK
It was the royal mail too, who are normally really good with packages. They leave stuff with our neighbours quite often and all that, but yesterday they decided normal practice was not happening

The Redhat buyout doesn't have to be a bad scenario. I'm guessing IBM realized that they use so much redhat in their business, that buying it would make sense both in terms of investment, but also to avoid a hostile buyout with licensing fees going forward.
haughty condor
At least now IBM has one product that I recognize

Soldering leds is painful
pliant tulip
What do you mean nobody should have that much money
Why not?
Besides, itโs not exaclty them having the money, it all runs on debt of some sort, because even if they had that amount of money, they wouldnโt spend it, theyโd leverage it
Tbh Iโm a bit concerned because RedHat are one of the biggest, if not the biggest contributors to linux kernel and various tools
And everything IBM does is pretty proprietary
Also Appleโs cash on hand + liquid assets clock in at about $450bn
A pretty neat number if you ask me
zenith mirage
Never say never

oh yeah, smd leds are terrible to do by hand

Never

No it's being retarded and I can't be assed fixing it tonight
