So...for my keycap enthusiast, need some help seeing if something like this exist or something close to it. I am looking for some keycaps that have curves like the picture attached (Ripjaw keycaps I think). What I want is something similar to that, but without the characters on them (or the option to select what charactrers appear on it).
I saw some made by Brocap, but doesnt seem like they are produced atm

chrome estuary
okay that's actually kinda cool.
You could get them custom made. Like 3D Printed perhaps?
warm oar
I was thinking that...but I have no idea how to request such a thing
chrome estuary
Shapeways does 3d prints. All you'd have to do is get it modelled or model it yourself.
chrome estuary
Pretty sure.
warm oar
because I have rubber-like keycaps that I have use for WSAD and love it
Trying to set up my keyboard so I have more textile feel for keys that I map for analog controls
chrome estuary
fair
warm oar
Hmm I will look into Shapeway...a bit expensive for what I want to do right now, but maybe....
chrome estuary
understandable
warm oar
If it wasnt for the fact I just got finish paying for a wedding and my wife would kill me...would totally do it
warm oar
So what other gaming peripherals do people use? Mice etc...
I tend to change what I use on my set up every so often....mostly the kb and mouse
Been using this mouse recently

latent mural
my brotehr has a phoen from them
solar hinge
amazon rating 2.9
ebay rating 4.7
latent mural
idk why you'd need that amount of buttons
solar hinge
i have 12 side buttons now :p
warm oar
I don't trust amazon ratings on keyboards and mice
latent mural
but that seems like the worst way to get that amount
solar hinge
ouch 175 euros
latent mural
how much is that mouse?
solar hinge
excluding hsipping
latent mural
nahhh
warm oar
I got it from Amazon
solar hinge
ebay has it new for 85
warm oar
I guess a seller wanted to get rid of it lol
I wouldn't jump on it immediately
I would look at some videos
solar hinge
can, you check the one you bought? maybe they still have it?
warm oar
As @latent mural said there are better ways to get this many buttons
They dont have it
I checked a few days ago
latent mural
warm oar
I agree with the quality. I wasn't completely wow'd by it
I like the g600 better
and the naga series
I am interest in the naga trinity....
latent mural
nah
synapse 3 is a dealbreaker alone
and why so many buttons?
get better shape+weight
warm oar
I thought the same thing when I first got it
thing is, it actually has the same amount of buttons as the nyth
It just looks like there is more
warm oar
Depending on game some people like to have access to certain keys
warm oar
For 3D design, people use it for commonly used commands
latent mural
or even more?
warm oar
so they dont have to use the keyboard
latent mural
if it is for productivity it's a little different
warm oar
Its like keyboard and mouse vs controller arguments
latent mural
no
latent mural
a lighter and better shaped mouse is much easier to use
warm oar
(PC master race btw...mouse keyboard forever...down with the controller)
warm oar
Some people prefer heavier mice so that they have better precision
latent mural
pfff
latent mural
they should use lower dpi for more precision
higher weight is much more unprecise since they can't d micor adjustments easily
red dragon is a company
off cheap mice and keyboards
warm oar
well
latent mural
pretty much best in it's price range though
warm oar
combining DPI with mouse weight allows for better control overrall
latent mural
no
warm oar
the weight can help limit movement
latent mural
?
warm oar
the DPI can allow more movement with less strokes
latent mural
why would you want to limit movement
I really don't know what you mean
at 800 dpi and 80-90g you are more accurate than with 3200dpi at 130g
at least if the shape isn't garbage
warm oar
I won't get into that aspect because there are a lot of opinions and human factors involved with that
warm oar
Pros should always be an exception and not the base case
ashen spindle
but its not like the laws of physic change for pros, more weight = more force needed to move it and that causes less accuracy
latent mural
^
warm oar
this is true
latent mural
there are differences in mousepad and skates choice
but weight and speed for shooters isn't 100% objective
warm oar
So one reason people will use weights in mouse is control jitters they may have
latent mural
you only have controll jitter with high dpi
in low dpi they either don't matter or aren't present
warm oar
While this is true, but there are those who prefer a physical solution vs a digital one
warm oar
No say its a both/either or...just preference really
Its just a means of achieving the result they want by different ways
latent mural
it's preference based on false or missing information
guess why the g502 is the best selling mouse
despite being pretty bad in many aspects
warm oar
I wouldn't call it false or missing information though. It really is preference. Yeah you can achieve better results making an optimal DPS/weight set up, but there are many people who can't use it
ashen spindle
its preference what you like/can use better at first, but it is not a preference what is actually better
latent mural
it's a matter of training and getting used to
warm oar
For a while after I got out of the hospital once, I had to add more weight to my mouse because my hand shook really bad
I adjust all my mouse settings and couldnt find one that worked best
latent mural
if your body is able to move your mouse fast enough it is better
warm oar
So while I was recovering, I used a weight solution
after I got better. I stopped using the weights
ashen spindle
I mean idk if I would count an injury as a normal situation and in normal situations there is only one way thats better
warm oar
But the thing is there are people around the world who have these types of problems
warm oar
Which is why there is beauty in having different solutions available
latent mural
that'S not what I mean
warm oar
and its far greater than 1%
latent mural
mice with many buttons etc have their uses
but most people would perform better in egoshooters with lighter mice
and better shapes
a good mouse isn't even that expensive
ashen spindle
it's like saying its preference if you walk better with or without crutches, and say its true because some people have foot injuries
couldnt get a better example but I think you get teh point
latent mural
at least cheaper than a huge mmo mouse
warm oar
speaking of expensive gaming things...
If only
Kinda reminds me of those holographic waifus people have lol
pale sigil
But their real xD
chrome estuary
I wanna get a cheap android tablet and use it for a recipe manager in the kitchen.
also potentially a youtube device for while cooking or some shit.
warm oar
Thats what I am in the process of setting up in my apartment right now
Right now I am using I'm using a Google Home mini to tell me recipes as I go
chrome estuary
I can just use one of dad's iPads (He has two right now but soon to get a new better one so I can use the one he replaces.)
warm oar
My other thought was to use a TV my father-in-law is giving us and use it to smart cast from my phone
Not sure which one will work out better in the end
chrome estuary
I really want to get a 15.6" 4k laptop screen with control board so I can have a mini 4k display for doing god knows what.
chrome estuary
Well i want a 3rd screen. but for this I really don't need a large one as my 3rd screen is usually use only for shit like Discord and occasionally holding a web browser.
but after I got the GTX 1080. I couldn't use my little 5:4 because of no DVI-I port.
also 4k laptop displays (IPS Matte IIRC) are only like 160$ w/Board.
warm oar
RIght now I am using a 1440p UHD monitor
I am having a hard time justifying another monitor for this set up
But it would be nice to have a side window for discord
chrome estuary
I'm using 2 1080p 27"
warm oar
speaking of displays...
Does any one use one of those keyboard displays that shows stats for games etc?
plush summit

warm oar
HA!
pale sigil
Takes total of 5 minutes to reboot my router 👏 that doesn't include WiFi which takes an extra 30-40sec

looks like something apple would make so that users couldnt buy off the shelf products
ashen spindle
nah apple would make normal cherry keys, but with an A2 chip so you could get completely identical parts but it still wont work
chrome estuary
and then charge like 350$, call it a fucking 'smart keyboard' or some shit
ashen spindle
but then they also add a notch somehow that nobody likes and everyone else wants to imitate them suddenly
chrome estuary
a notch right in the middle of the fucking keyboard
do a sort of pseudo dog bone.
latent mural
I am at a point of total confusion
FreeNAS just doesn't want to install
Is there any other good nas software I could use?

latent mural
I just found out about ShrineOS
guess I'll never use Windwos/Linux again
it's TempleOS with networking ´capability
yee
it's not a distro though
TempleOS is it'S own OS
ashen spindle
not a cult btw
karmic grail
oh god no
karmic grail
^ yes
The C31 and C32 look alright
But if it had like the masterbox lite 5 front panel then itll be perfect

I wish some case manufacturer could copy riotoro design with good quality
and improve it somewhat
C32 would be my pick
I don't like any of them though
karmic grail
Riotoro CR280 looks sleek
latent mural
their quality is garbage unfortunatley
OEM is Greatwall
deepcool also isn't too bad
at least design wise

I just got 2080 ti aorus waterforce in amazon warehouse deal 450 bucks cheaper then the stock version, wonder if I should keep it - temps under load always under 60°C max oc - 2170mhz core 8200mhz memory, runs stock at 2050mhz
keep or not ^^

fair gull
i didnt accuse i just mentioned my preference for non illuminated systems
except the keyboard tho
that can be all sparkly

after my CAM stopped detecting my 200€ aio and it was permanently set to white I was released of rainbow puke
never going to buy NZXT again though

i dont see much point in aio for cpu right now
drp 4 keeps my 2700x with 4,2ghz oc almost always under 60C
fair gull
i just slapped on a h100i
solid osprey
idk maybe with 3700x it will make more sence
latent mural
had a 6600k under it before
OCed it pretty hard
and in the O11-dynamic only slim air coolers can fit
fair gull
i dont really wanna try to puch my luck with ocing my 9700k
latent mural
my 6600k did it like a champ
currently is still on 4.5 Ghz with a purerock
below 70°
fair gull
mine is at 4.8
latent mural
4.5 is +600MHz on that CPU
reef patrol
The dynamic is for watercooling though. Hence the thing front cabin.
latent mural
the air is also better for watercooling
just needs a slim cooler
and the dynamic still gets 9 fans
if you have a good input/output it is definetley a top performer
latent mural
or long screws + nuts
fair gull
pls dont mention long screws
those fucks always get put into the short holes on notebooks/macbooks by dumbos
latent mural
I meant like 60mm screws
if you manage to put 60mm screws in notebooks you have earned it
fair gull
oh
well
ngl i do that sometimes
but
hear me out
its to fix notebooks where the holes are ripped out (the insert are ripped/broken out) and then we drill a hole straight through if we cant a replacement part and put through screws and just cut them to length and make em a bit neat
saved a few laptops this way
latent mural
oh poo
damn this android tv
i cant force any odd resolutions and i cant force anything over 90hz even at 1080
i can set it to 3840x1440 but it's actually sending a 4k signal, so i cant bump the refresh rate up
all of this works fine on the LG :C
right.
well it says it's running 3840x1440@90 now but no it isn't
feels more like at 30hz
Oh well, glorious 60hz ultra wide is still ultra wide, the added fov alone makes it vetter
wheat plume
except when the game doesnt increase FOV on 21:9 and instead just stretches or crops the game view :///
then it is shitty
and the game also doesnt have an FOV option
cough cough modern warfare 2
every valve game from wayyyy back supports 21:9
it is a crime in 2019
it should be anyway
idk howt GUI ever gets locked to 16:9, doesnt the code to make the menus put the elements automatically as far left or right as the screen goes? or do they specifically program it to never go passed 16:9?
reef patrol
21:9 isn't supported in eSports games....for exactly that reason. Sports
They don't want an uneven playing field.
wheat plume
Locking to refresh rates and hardware?
*Cough cough consoles cough cough
neat oriole
21:9 is basically normal but with reduced vertical fov
pale sigil
Depends on the game
neat oriole
So 21:9 is worse in most games
wheat plume
I'm in very much a minority for requirements in a game
I use Linux
I use plasms desktop
I have 21:9 screen
I'm using Bluetooth headphones
Plasma**
ashen spindle
Nah thats not why they dont do 21:9, most times its just bc its not planned/worth it
or the engine doesnt support it
wheat plume
True
ashen spindle
or they set it to scale but its only supports other formats etc.
I mean you can call it an excuse, but often they just dont do it bc not enough demand for example
neat oriole
Where are my 32:9 games
ashen spindle
UI devs are some of the more rare types out there
neat oriole
Although iirc 21:9 in R6 is really good
sick creek
Any devs looking to build a UI should just contact the people at blizzard who made the wow ui
That is the pinnacle of game UIs imo
latent mural
oh
the engine can
they just didn't want to
since it is the quake 3 engine
best thing is
cod still runs on the same engine
imo they are all pretty bad
and the same
the situation seems very similar to fifa
ashen spindle
I was thinking about getting the latest cod just for zombies lmao
ashen spindle
But had not enough time at release or enough friends that had time for Easter egg hunt
latent mural
much better game overall
zenith sonnet
Do we really need FOV sliders?
Why not adjust it properly in the first place?
After all, there is only 1 'right' setting
For a given whatsitcalled, ratio?
latent mural
well
my monitor is wider
and at that point in time there were still a lot of users with 4:3
and some can't handle the "right" setting
reef patrol
Because not all monitors are equal, Xea 😄
zenith sonnet
Yeah, but there's still only 1 distortion free setting for all :D
ashen spindle
FOV also impacts performance, sometimes you might be okay with lover FOV but better frametimes
zenith sonnet
Lower FOV = zoom
Higher FOV = Fisheye
Vision should be the last setting you touch for performance reasons
It's the same issue as why most competitive games don't have vision range sliders
ashen spindle
but zoom only increases LOD of things if at all, higher FOV leads to more objects beeing rendered
reef patrol
Fisheye is entirely dependent on angle, distance to screen and physical width.
You're going to go insane with a low FOV on an ultrawide monitor, and using console levels of FOV up close is similar.
pale sigil
R6 has FOV
So do most cods now
90fov is the sweet spot
Tho I prefer 120
But Siege stops it allowing you seeing more
It's weird
latent mural
csgo has an fov slider
pale sigil
Ye
latent mural
ye
latent mural
but since many people play it in 4:3 stretched it doesn't matter I guess
it has a slider
100%
latent mural
you can
latent mural
but nowadays Csgo offers most of the important graphical settings in the menu
pale sigil
WaW for example you could go up to 120fov
pale sigil
You can do a lot of things in the console for cod games
Ww2 for example you could enable tilt lol
Which wasn't in the settings
latent mural
yea
it has to be added in the next game as a "feature"
which was "never there before"
pale sigil
Ugh cod has had if before
latent mural
ik
it had before ghosts
but in the production trailer for ghost they mentioned that they made it and it was new for the series

This I like
halcyon moss
looking forward to the new ryzens. I need to upgrade my desktop 😦
stiff bridge
Yea same
My 1080 ti is slightly bottlenecked by my ryzen 5 1600 lmao
i'd buy intel if they werent such shitheads about swapping motherboard platform every year
halcyon moss
these articles are so generic, they could replace just the names and it'd fit about 90% of all the announcements
ashen spindle
yes thats typical wccftech
halcyon moss
lol, my 4thgen i5 and 970
ashen spindle
the next 5 articles about ryzen will reuse 80% of the text aswell
stiff bridge
oh i had a 970 before this 1080 ti but i had enough with not being able to maintain 144hz on siege
stiff bridge
oh yea for sure 1080p all the way rn
i prefer 144hz 1080p over 60hz 4k any day of the week
halcyon moss
Could buy a new cpu, gpu, monitor 
pale sigil
1440p sweet spot
ashen spindle
1440p 100hz currently 
stiff bridge
nah imo 1440p is still a bit too difficult to get smooth 144hz on
latent mural
Uninstalling fixed it
stiff bridge
it's getting there but for now 1080p is where i'll stay
pale sigil
at budget its difficult
ashen spindle
well I said 100hz 
pale sigil
for sure
pale sigil
1080ti is budget
stiff bridge
wot
pale sigil
Now 😄
stiff bridge
sure compared to the 1.2k 2080 ti lmao
latent mural
Its budget if your budget is 650 euro
latent mural
In 1.5 years
pale sigil
on a game were you just shoot people
stiff bridge
i'm playing mid-high on siege for that smooooth 144hz
ashen spindle
you wouldnt get much more than 60 either
pale sigil
60 is good enough for single player games
ashen spindle
ps4 pros cant even run it on stable 60
stiff bridge
man try playing doom on 60hz and 144hz and tell me which is nicer
pale sigil
Doom is different
ashen spindle
but doom is not sekiro
stiff bridge
only in genre
pale sigil
No, its designed for higher refresh rates and is extremely fast.
stiff bridge
both have twitch reactions and reasonably fast-paced combat
pale sigil
Most single player games you do not need more than 60
ashen spindle
you have much faster movement in doom
pale sigil
" reasonably fast-paced combat"
stiff bridge
i'm not saying you NEED more than 60, i'm saying it's a thousand times more comfortable
stiff bridge
like a complete puss puss because i play on ultra nightmare lmao
ashen spindle
I could see that, but I assume they did it so people wont comlain about not consistent fraamerate, since it was mostly build for console but still cant get stable 60 there
stiff bridge
nah it's called being lazy
ashen spindle
this way you get some complaints about capping it at 60, but nobody on pc complains about framespikes
stiff bridge
easy fix:
cap to 60 standard and give the option to uncap
lotsa games do it, FROM is just kinda lazy in this aspect
ashen spindle
cant just say that, the engine might have issues with it, hard to say
stiff bridge
then they shoulda picked a different engine
ashen spindle
sure lets switch engine after how many games on it, 7? to get unlocked fps with no issues?
stiff bridge
if your engine still relies on framerate for physics in 2019 you are NOT using a good engine
ashen spindle
I didnt say fps and physics are tied together in it
pale sigil
cough
stiff bridge
that tends to be the reason why they lock it though
it's why fallout 4 and skyrim are locked
ashen spindle
yes one single engine with that issue
stiff bridge
there's an uncap mod for sekiro so you're right
prolly not physics
but STILL
if half-life 2 can do it in 2004 they can do it in 2019
ashen spindle
half life wasnt designed for console
stiff bridge
yet it was on all of them
ashen spindle
in dark souls 1 unlocking fps can make you fall through ladders
wheat plume
O.O
ashen spindle
granted the entire port wasn't great, but it was their first port to pc
stiff bridge
the point here is that if you cap a game to 60 it's because you don't want to put the effort into optimizing for high refresh rates, not due to some unsurmountable obstacle
if they really wanted they could fix the engine, though it'd take a while.
ashen spindle
or they would need to completely remake the game potentially to get that high fps
either way, far from lazy
stiff bridge
or just don't pick a shitty engine when you're designing it
ashen spindle
so you want them to predict the future when they chose their engine for demon souls?
stiff bridge
i want them to change engine when it's clear the first one has severe limitations for their pc audience
ashen spindle
and I wouldnt call it a shitty engine if everything else works absolutely fine
but its not really a limitation, just missing QoL?
ashen spindle
did you try it?
stiff bridge
i have not, but that's not the point
zenith mirage
idk, i'm fine with souls being 60fps
i play on a 144Hz panel, but i'll still play bloodborne on 30fps because damn do i love that game
stiff bridge
to me it's just like the devs flipping me off
zenith mirage
japanese devs have historically not cared for PC, so i don't expect them to make PC a priority
stiff bridge
sure but that doesn't excuse it
my favorite game of all time, bit.trip runner 2, was made by an indie studio
it has 144hz support
ashen spindle
they use an engine from sony, for multiple titles, optimized as fuck for the playstation, you can't "just" make it work
bit trip runner obviously has it way easier to get 144fps are you serious O.o
stiff bridge
yea but theyre an indie studio with a small amount of resources
still a priority for them
ashen spindle
but its also 100000 times easier for them???
stiff bridge
if it's that easy
why doesn't cuphead do 144hz
should be even easier as it's 2d graphics
zenith mirage
it's an xbox title first and foremost, so why go above 60?
i would like games to run over 60 but i don't expect it of all titles
ashen spindle
because cuphead uses a lot of resoucehogging effects, and they cant edit the engine as they want, unity is not an open source engine
stiff bridge
why go above 60? to show you give a damn about your pc userbase?
quintosh you realize unity has 144hz support right
ashen spindle
I work with Unity lol
stiff bridge
yea same
zenith mirage
If a shooter releases on PC without high refresh support then it's a bad job. Singleplayer games i care less about
ashen spindle
I wrote my Bachelor about Shaders in Unity, there are a lot of limitations that you cant get around because you cant get to the lower level part of the engine
and even if you would, you want them to put it, idk, 20% more work to optimizes it beyond what is good already
stiff bridge
limitations like?
ashen spindle
you can barely touch the renderpipeline
stiff bridge
btw dmc devil may cry has 144hz support and was made by a studio much smaller than from
ashen spindle
they added it with the newest version, but before you were stuck with the only pipeline that was in unity
and they used a very new engine?
that engine was made for RE7
ashen spindle
havent played any so idc about that
but it looks like that one was made in unreal
so a gigantic open source engine
ashen spindle
different game, very different art style etc. maybe it just worked out better for them
stiff bridge
orrr its not that difficult to pick an engine that'll actually support 144hz properly
and then take the steps necessary to implement support
but from software doesn't care much about pc users
ashen spindle
okay so you want 144fps more than stability, smooth gameplay etc.? and want to wait potentially 1-2 years longer just for that?
stiff bridge
hahahahahaa 1-2 years for 144hz support?
ashen spindle
yes because if you use a new engine you need to rewrite EVERYTHING you could use if you would stay with the same engine?
you cant just magically port everything to a new engine, have everyone on the team be as experienced with it like with the old engine they worked for years on
stiff bridge
that doesn't mean it'll take two years to port that stuff over
fair gull
depends on complexity so yes it can tale years
stiff bridge
especially if you're starting with a blank slate
ashen spindle
1-2 years for using UE4 instead of an inhouse engine after shipping 5+ games with it is a generous estimate for a game as big as Sekiro/souls games
fair gull
if u think it doesnt take years do it yourself and be surprised

After all I read about it I nearly know for sure it is easily possible.
pale sigil
Like 100%
golden girder
like 99% as I wrote before...
fair gull
like the only thing stoppin g this would be either: wrong connector on pcb side or wrong mounting piece on the connector itself
golden girder
If all goes good I start working on it tomorrow.
fair gull
u can easily change the pin order in the connectors
pale sigil
Im trying to not say much 🤷
fair gull
but why
golden girder
If you have valid informations just inform us...
fair gull
inb4 they already work on a kit to add actual usb-c connectors (with the right circuits for c to c) to the twooting and wooting 1
pale sigil
usb c to usb c just doesn't work well in general on most devices
golden girder
I even bought a nearly finished USB C receptacle for it so I only need to connect the USB 2.0 wires.

fair gull
wont mount inside
golden girder
Yes...
fair gull
sadly
pale sigil
xD
golden girder
But for a proof of concept it's good enought

@pale sigil The main reason wireless connections are slow is because they're not stable, and a lot of resending packets and error correction has to be done
If it's stable, it can be nearly as fast as a cable
zenith sonnet
Uh, dunno, probably some custom protocol
Just generic 2.4 GHz hardware for signals
Quality stuff, though
Unlike WiFi, it can work with transmission rates of like 10 or 100 kbit, there isn't much data to handle
golden girder
64 byte every 1 ms would be 62KB/s (or 496 KBit/s), so little so there is much left to add a lot of redundance, because the speed should be much higher than this.
fair gull
its prob some magic like KleerNet for wireless headsets
golden girder
Shame on me 😦 I wrote 62Kbit instead of 62KB.
golden girder
@fair gull So close... I would need to damage the breakout board a little bit to be able to screw it on.
And even the receptacle barely fits into the hole.
Because a proper installation need a little bit of space around the receptacle the hole would need to be increased, so I don't think it would reach the quality standard for Wooting to sell it as an upgrade cable for the W1 in the future.
fair gull
not without a custom pcb
golden girder
But as I wrote even the hole in the backplate is a little bit to tight.
To be realy fit into it it would be necessary to have a surrounding enclosure around the connecter. But there is no space for it.
Because the micro B is smaller it fits with its enclosure.

would think so, would be weird if they have no dead boards around

@fair gull The Type-C receptacle has the same width as the Micro B with its enclosure .

uhu.... so.... It's not the tv that refused to run 1080 @ 120hz, it's nvidia ... doing something odd and crashing the tv
if i dont use CRU but the nvidia control pannel it works
but using that disables any form of hdr
grrr
this wasn't like this on AMD
Seems like 3840x1440@75 and 1920x1080@144 is as far as i can go

Can't even find 4g networks
I shrugged it off but recently I thought about selling the phone which will become an issue
ashen spindle
Just change it so it displays 3g as 5Ge, AT&T style
latent mural
oh
thought it was the same
idk how 4g is, almost never have it
I don't even have any connection at work
windows too thick
ashen spindle
yea I use my phone so little that I use my free contract, 500mb of monthly data but I have paid 0.00euro since I got it for my contract lmao
pale sigil
I don't use my phone that much and it doesn't bother me
However
I want to sell the phone
latent mural
Some time ago an update fucked up my 4g internet, it would be unstable as fuck
The solution was to go to the operator and ask for a new (latest) 4 g sim card
Weird, but it worked instantly
pale sigil
GG
My warrenty ran out 4 days ago
I left it a tad little to late
@latent mural i tried another sim from another provider
Same issue
gentle turret
@pale sigil LTE is 4G
pale sigil
Yes and no
gentle turret
The only country that LTE wasn’t 4G is the US
pale sigil
The UK it's always been 4G
gentle turret
and that was due to the same reason as 5Ge
Depends if your phone shows it like that
It’s software dependent
But in the U.K. we’ve never had 3G shown as 4G or LTE
pale sigil
The UK I've always and everyone I know had 4g
Never lte
I've had this phone for years also
gentle turret
I’ve seen LTE show on my phone at some point earlier on in the life time of it and was confused
pale sigil
Hmm
Still fucking weird
Tho it was after android 8 was installed
Maybe they changed it
gentle turret
Possible you haven’t been pushed the carrier bundle for it, since I think stuff like that might be set by the carrier
It’s kinda funny how it’s usually called 4G here but we still call the voice tech VoLTE though

Samsung S7 is starting to show its age when it comes to using it in QHD
I'll have to wipe it again
Running 2 discord instances doesn't partucually help
latent mural
nah
shouldn't be that much worse though
do you have a qualcom or an exynos version?
why am I even asking
is exynos
pale sigil
Exynos
It honestly is, performance impact is meh in qhd now
Like even if I wipe it
There will still be a performance loss that's noticeable
crimson wigeon
Yeah what's up with mobile software devs, why do things get so slow so quickly? Are they collaborating with the hardware manufacturers to get people to buy new phones?
latent mural
it's just that mobile processors got faster quickly
and new software is made for new hardware
and they seem to clutter up quicker than desktops
maybe completely resetting it will solve the problem
teh s7 is already like 4 years on the market, could be quite cluttered
and touchwiz hogs performance like hell
ashen spindle
better hardware in new phones means you need to optimize less, which sometimes still affects older hardware

How does one clean a solder tip that's pretty bad
fallow bison
reef patrol
You apply solder to it and scrape it off on the copper? Wire spongy stuff
pale sigil
Meh I don't have any copper
reef patrol
Always put a bit of solder on your tips after use. Kind of like dipping an ice cream in choco
reef patrol
A kitchen sponge can work in a pinch. It'll smell though.
pale sigil
Most of the tips is ha d
Bad
Only one point gets hot enough xD
I'll take a pic tonight
Going to attempt to solder all the LEDs again and possibly use jump site methods to fix my caps
If it doesn't work Jill consider ripping out the pcb and replacing it
Because the case itself is more expensive than the pcb lmao
zenith sonnet
Anyone know how to calculate FOVs? 🤔
reef patrol
There are fov calculator tools
latent mural
just use newspaper or similar to remove the solder from a hot iron
if you've made a hole in the tip already just sharpen it off
or buy a new tip (if it's that bad), just the tip, they cost nothing
Fibre? that's an odd way to spell ADSL
pale sigil
Ye xD

Telekom internet would completely shut down if there is thunder in a 2km radius
fair gull
altho im not sure how it will work out in my new apartment cause im not gonna use their crap routers

Didn't have major problems with telekom yet
Unitymedia experience was kinda bumpy, but good overall
Especially the speed
Lol
We once tried to set up a privately owned 6490
But they couldn't manage to correctly put in the macadress
And some time later in a phone call the person was like "we see you tried to connect a fritzbox"
"do you want one for free"
fair gull
i would like a pure modem tbh
i heard their custom unbranded router thing has a bridge mode
dunno if the fritzboxes have that aswell
fair gull
pls tell me it is temperature controlled and not just plug in the wall
pale sigil
temp controlled
latent mural
hard to see
but if it's hot and you cant rub it off, probably have a hole inside
twss?
i just rub it off with paper
because it doesn't burn too much
fair gull
ill rub smth else in a minute

Reset button doesn't work anymore
Can't get into boot loader
Some keys just don't work anymore
I'm hoping I can salvage the case
reef patrol
pale sigil
Basically originally when I made it the caps lock was wrong
Then I tried to de solder and failed
Then I re soldered caps into the right place but it wouldn't work
Then random switches stopped working
And now this
reef patrol
You could try asking politely over at the Mech discord if anyone nearby can try and help salvage it.
pale sigil
Last time I asked for help they laughed at me
reef patrol
😦
pale sigil
I spent so much on this keyboard
Rsrher than just losing the caps I've lost it all now
So I HAVE 2 options
Paperweight or replace pcb
pale sigil
What
Idk how the fuck I'm going to remove all these switches
I couldn't do it for one never mind all of them
Gotta be fucking kidding me
Just took the caps lock out like it was nothing
fair gull
pls no hardware gore in here thx
imma just cry
like when i even see dusty computers
like so dusty they have dust mice in them

theres desoldering tips for irons that cost like 10quid
squeeze rubber ball
put on joint
let go
boom desoldered
pale sigil
@digital cliff
Haven't used it proper for 2 months give or take so its been shoved on my shelf which is dusty and I never cleaned it.
There were some cases I just couldn't de solder due to after ripping I could see solder went through the whole into the other side meaning i couldn't remove a bunch of the switches.
fair gull
easy fix put more solder on
fair gull
thats how i desolder things that my desoldering pump wont do
put solder on and extra wide tip
heat the solder puddle
and then the switch just pulls out like nothing
ud use those for lcds usually but i use em for the difficult shit
pale sigil
No it's not its supposed to stay on the solder pads
If it gets stuck below the pcb also
fair gull
@digital cliff he prob means the key switch wasnt in all the way and the solder literally came out as a blob on the other side
pale sigil
You're pretty fucked
fair gull
covering soldering mask etc
pale sigil
I tried wick
Honestly I tried
You could see how I progressed, my solder joins were very bad then got better.
So some are really bad
Most are OK
But I just wanted to save my case
So I did what was needed at all cost
I wouldn't have an issue the second time
I did a lot of practicing too
But really, I'm just saddened
I'm going to just pay for assemble on some kits
However... I will finish the kbd75 build
Otherwise I will keep feeling like shit about it
Because I was an idiot about it
I got cocky and went all out on my first build
😭
I asked for help throughout the process but the mech keyboard community is so toxic
Tbf the keyboard worked fine....
Then I just fucked it up
Over an Dover
Over
Trying to fix the caps
To the point the pcb just got fucked

i never got wick to work with THC stuff
i alsways use my desoldering station for that

That's interesting

So a guy who runs an entertainment business has used the same cater for years, for a wedding he hired her and was invoiced £1200, she had been hacked and he sent the money to a "new account for tax reasons" so essentially he sent the money to a scammer who gained access to said account.
Somehow the court sided with the cater even though it was her account who was hacked and that shouldn't be the entertainment guys responsibility, that's pretty bizare.
ashen spindle
only the caters fault if they didn't do enough to make it "safe" and they need to recieve their money for the work
if you got lazy and send it to whatever and didn't check, your fault in general imo
in theory nobodies fault and they should first try to get back the money from the scam account ofc
latent mural
aren't businesses insured for stuff like that?
pale sigil
I guess so

or is that just the case in germany

But it was a local sma business
So maybe not
Either way he should go back to court...
