is there any downside to using ps/2 instead of usb for a keyboard apart from like, maybe less rgb and macro support or whatever
because id prefer to use ps/2, not because it uses interrupts or whatever, but because when i have a usb keyboard plugged in my mouse feels weird and laggy
fair gull
that means theres smth wrong bruh
better look into whats causing it
than trying to work around it
latent mural
like its not that bad, my mouse cursor just feels way more direct and "unfiltered" if i don't have usb keyboard plugged in
fair gull
ya find the problem
like i use trash systems every day
like intel centrino trash
barely running vista
and the mouse and keyboard over usb run smooth af
latent mural
it feels kinda the same as when i have a frame limiter on instead of uncapped fps
fair gull
i had smth like that back then aswell caused by bad usb drivers
latent mural
it's nothing huge but once i got used to a ps/2 keyboard, switching to it was noticable
latent mural
yeah i put a lot of weird settings on my pc and bios a while ago because of weird ocn guides
fair gull
basically what ure trying to do is cooking with a microwave while your kitchen is burning

i've also seen some people say if you have multiple 1000hz usb devices plugged in then the polling rate becomes inconsistent
fair gull
never heard of that personally
latent mural
or poll "timing" idk
fair gull
i mean like i said have tons of shitty hardware infront of me each day they all can do usb fine
latent mural
The thing is, everything seemed fine when i had only ever used usb keyboards. right now i'd say it kind of feels like the difference between 75hz and 60hz
i wouldnt be surprised if it was just some random thing i disabled a year ago or something
fair gull
which is why i said investigate
will be the way better option
like ps2 has pmuch no downsides except you will prob not find any macro or rgb with it and most of the payable keyboards with ps2 are rubber dome
thick elk
The largest downside of PS/2 for me is when for whatever reason the connector comes lose you have to reboot. Granted it doesn't happen often but when it does it's rather annoying. That being said my last PS/2 keyboard the steelseries g6v2 also could be used on usb without nkey rollover and repluging into usb did work.
Overall a modern well made usb keyboard really doesn't have any downsides either over PS/2 so there is not much reason to use it for the theory of hardware interupts

somehow my list box code fucked up
let select = document.getElementById("listboxContinent").value;
for(let i = 0; i < continentList.length; i++) {
let opt = continentList[i];
let el = document.createElement("option");
el.textContent = opt;
el.value = opt;
select.appendChild(el);
}
Why document.getElementById("listboxContinent").value;
and not just document.getElementById("listboxContinent")?
fair gull
because one retrieves an element and one the value
thick elk
Anyway in this context you probably want to grab the element and not the value
how I would have probably written it:
contentList.forEach( (opt) => {
let el = document.createElement('option')
el.textContent = opt
el.value = opt
select.appendChild(el)
})```When your computer makes the device ejected sound randomly π

I can't imagine not having a scroll wheel. That seems archaic to me. When I tried resting three fingers on my mouse I had my index for left click, middle for the wheel, and my ring finger for right click.

Scroll wheels seem to generally be a useful thing yea. though you could also have one on the left side for your thumb to use.

Could be a bad flash. You can try flashing to it from the BIOS?

# Fix jetbrains products export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
@dapper ridge what that do?
dapper ridge
on something like i3 or bspwm or any non reparenting window manager (ie any window manager that does not have a wrapper box) it makes java render it correctly and prevents parent issues where java cant display because it is expecting to be reparented
for example, in my use case, jetbains products
crimson wigeon
Oh what is incorrect in this case
wheat plume
pretends I understand the concept of parented windows
crimson wigeon
I remember a while back I tried Ghidra for the memes and it didn't work at all in sway
By work at all I mean the interface didn't render at all
dapper ridge
that is because of reparenting
crimson wigeon
Which to me screams awful software
crimson wigeon
Awful language, then
dapper ridge
hence this env
oh trust me
fuck java
but lots of stuff is built in it
and it is quite powerful
crimson wigeon
Also what kind of nonsense does it do that it requires that
ashen spindle
im just here to say, yes, fuck java
dapper ridge
its just java's graphic lib for widnows
its expecting to be reparented
and the wm does not provide it the info it needs to know it is not
crimson wigeon
What is so hard about rendering into a rectangle
dapper ridge
oh dont
even get me started
on fucking rendering shit on linux
I've been working on learning how to build a WM
simply put, if your wm is something like openbox, every window you open gets a parent windows associated (in however the tree system for your wm handles it) and this window actually dictates size and shit based on its rendering requirements and rendering rules
so the child, java's app in this case, does not get this info
and java knows to rely on its parent
crimson wigeon
But again, why does literally everything else handle this fine
dapper ridge
because its java
literally the reason
I've had minor issues with electron, but those bugs usually get ironed out in a version or two
I mean they could fix it
in the latest java
but most java projects dont run altest
and never will
crimson wigeon
I guess the other thing is apps relying on arcane X nonsense which is why we need Wayland
dapper ridge
I agree, but also disagree
I think wayland is nice
but I also have issues with its lack of stability, and its lack of adoption
wheat plume
and lack of nvidia anything
dapper ridge
oh yeah that is a decent nail in the coffin
crimson wigeon
Yeah its been declared "ready" for so many years but only like this past year do I actually see some effort in making things work good
dapper ridge
be happy, the corporate linux, ubuntu, has sway built into their latest shit
mind you, I cant use it because the utilities I rely on usually crash or fail to launch on wayland
crimson wigeon
The real question is when will Ubuntu default to Wayland
wheat plume
when it doesnt shit a brick when using nvidia drivers I imagine

I am seemingly the only person in the world that sees the merit of having a FPGA inside a monitor
@prisma crag with that you mean you prefer gsynch with the module? if so you're definitely not the only one
young flicker
@prisma crag Ah, so you're going for a 50/50 split between the monitor and system? I feel you on the motherboards, I remember when anything $300+ was absolute top of the line enthusiast level. I'm also not liking how expensive the excellent monitors are these days.
What are halo lines, like flagship products?
Ah, I guess my terminology is outdated. That's what I think of when I think of flagships.
I just wish there was a decent in-between right now.
I know it's just because of the new technology developed for them, but I just want a reasonably sized 4K monitor with HDR, preferably with G-Sync.
And those are all pretty expensive.
But yeah, over $100/inch is baller status.
On the flipside though, even people building computers for $5,000 coughmeforoncecough don't want do spend an almost equal amount on a monitor. In my opinion, without the new technology that is being implemented for the first time a completely premium, non-professional developer monitor should be around $1,500 without getting into ridiculous sizes..

I don't think you need to to spend 3500β¬ on a monitor

Gotta charge my headphones and mouse once a day. While in use π
wheat plume

this will replace capslock with Escape
But do you get signal underwater π
i will get an iphone SE 2020
cause it gets out the way and lets me do my shit
Are you sure you cant do that with an apple thing?
wheat plume
Peek a Boo

@wheat plume o/
The selling point for me is the software ecosystem.
Apple is locked down to shits .. pardon my french
Android can never catch up in terms of security
I can put an app on the google store that sends me everything.
A lot harder on the apple store
Not impossible .. but very very hard
Pricetag for a nandroid exploit is like 300k
pricetag for iphone is 1mill +
there is a reason
You need the matrix slider thing.
spring loaded
yeah π
mod it
i dare you
young flicker
They never sold that Matrix phone. π¦
tough stag
@young flicker oh they did
it was some nokia
just not spring loaded like in the movie
the cover is manually retract
young flicker
Yeah, that was it. I misremembered. Same thing as far as I'm concerned.
tough stag
@prisma crag show me π
Nokia is getting back in to smartphones
they used to do networks for a while
Equiped the lot of east europe and russia with cell towers
young flicker
"KaiOS Technologies Inc. (with TCL as largest shareholder)"
tough stag
Nokia 8110 for the matrix phone
tough stag
oh wow
young flicker
You can escape Chinese state-owned products and companies.
tough stag
Chinese economy will be two to three times the us one
young flicker
And even then I'll never own anything produced or provided by a state-owned business.
tough stag
I just want fuck you money and do that too >.<
whats so special about kaios?
OTG?
oh
Well
Off the grid is easy
its called No Phone
young flicker
Yep, if you've got a phone, even some ancient piece of shit from the 80s that somehow works you're still on the grid.
tough stag
@prisma crag https://www.thuraya.com/
young flicker
Tru dat.
tough stag
iridium is the network
thuraya makes good phones for the network
and cheap contracts
This is a great sat phone ... i tested
if your serious about off the grid
You can get a discount if you order 10 20 or 170 π
Here's an idea for you
Starlink - Phone
Tada .. i spilled the beans
On a happy and more realistic note. My Stonks are up πΎ
I have DSL @ Home
Its easiest
Also have broadband interconnected networks planetwide access at work
π
LTE it is
can you do a speedtest?
latent mural
@young flicker yeah mice right now kinda suck balls
young flicker
It seems like the thing right now is to make them "light" by just removing as much material as possible, which just feels cheap.
latent mural
logitech is cheaping on on the switches
steelseries is putting screens on them
razer is pricing stuff very roughly
young flicker
Aside from the fact that I prefer a weighty mouse.
tough stag
cubby lover
young flicker
Razer was even worse than SteelSeries in my experience.
latent mural
you can get a <insert whatever non-mainstream brand here> but then u get shit macro support
young flicker
I had one of their first flagship headsets and it literally fell apart.
latent mural
there's no QMK equivalent for mice
young flicker
And I just don't like the ergo of their mice.
latent mural
and AHK always has a 15-16ms delay to whatever you do
latent mural
seriously i had to switch out my mouse not too long ago cause it died
and it was painful
young flicker
Well I learned of QMK today. Sounds awesome.
latent mural
no right answers
young flicker
I went out of my way and paid more than any sane person would to buy a "new" G5 v2.
tough stag
QMK is good.
latent mural
at first i got a basilisk v2, but wired, software was janky
tough stag
but QMK does not have analog keys
latent mural
got a g604 but i'm scared about the rubber
and i swear i already got a few double clicks due to the cheap switches
1 month in
young flicker
I bought my mom a PC for VR and I got her a G502 Hero, and it's actually kind of okay, but the design feels tryhard and the DPI buttons are too easy to hit accidentally.
And the right click is going out less than a year later.
I'd buy a Wooting mouse. As long as it's not turquoise lol.
latent mural
i wouldn't, i make heavy usage of macros on my mouse specifically
young flicker
Are they diametrically opposed to macros or something?
young flicker
Ah.
latent mural
for a keyboard it's fine
all macros i have are 2 buttons to open up calculator and masterpassword
i'll need more with the wooting lekker but thats cause it has extra features i want to use
otherwise i wouldn't need it
young flicker
15 years ago I would've thought macros would be OS level at this point.
latent mural
but for mice i really like to setup macros for most games i play
to automate things
for example in MHW i have a macro that opens up the first item wheel, then when i release the button it auto-select that item
tough stag
Wait what?
latent mural
and 3 more for the other 3 item wheels
tough stag
Lekker has extra software features?
latent mural
analog keys
ever heard of em : ^)
not movement
although
ghub specifically supports it
every profile can have 1 user-made LUA script
and in it you can actually make mouse movement work, even in fps games
unlike razer synapse
but no keypress macros are enough for me, though i like versatility in that regard.
ghub's sequence macros do something when pressing the key, do something (looped) while holding and something else on release
and that's great
though knowing the switches could fuck me over tomorrow isn't pleasant
even if i were to refund it there's no mouse i'd even consider buying, literally nothing fits my needs of good macro support and not immensely garbage
young flicker
Seems like there's a huge opening for any competent company to compete.
latent mural
for what's worth
i'd buy a naga with optical switches
or something akin to it with similar software support
tough stag
why would magnetic be better?
latent mural
you have no use for analog on a mouse
tough stag
no .. keyboard
young flicker
Imagine a mouse with force feedback...
tough stag
demagnetization
latent mural
tomorrow i could wake up and half my clicks could become double clicks on the g604
you never know
young flicker
I think analog could actually be extremely useful both for productivity and gaming if there was a high degree of haptic/force feedback.
latent mural
but yeah right now i wish i could refund my g604 even though i really like it (and tbh i could) and have something else that's actually worth buying
if my g604 has issues in the next month (double clicking...) i'm fucking buying a g203 and that's it
x)
if you can't tell i'm tilted
(and it's a subtle call for help lol)
yeah but it's stupid cheap, light, good sensor
if i cant find a decent mouse may as well save money hoho
same, i got 6
x)
would hate to give em away
but if the switches die on me then whatever
technically i haven't tried the rival 500 yet
but maybe i won't at all
no and the idea sounds weird x)
i do a balanced mix of gaming and coding
sounds dope for a desk job
not as dope when flicking newbs
well the g604 is a mmo mouse but i'm not rly a mmo gamer :P
i just like big mice with good macros and boi that's a lot of macros
the tyon looks like it's...
designed to look cool
rather than to be good
i'd rather go for the rival 500 over it
u got a tyon/rival 500?
if you're in the EU i guess it wouldn't be super expensive either way
or maybe it is and screw me lul
but nah it looks kinda uncomfortable tbh
now that i think about it
i also remember one fella reviewing the rival 500 bashing the leadr
for being super uncomfortable in comparison
young flicker
Funny.
latent mural
though honestly i could look into covering delivery expense if it's not too bad, maybe it's worth trying
i could keep doing the refund dance with amazon and try everything but i'd not try my luck lol
in between the basilisk and streak pro i already refunded a fair bit of stuff recently
yeah but that'd kinda be abusing the system
young flicker
Also, having worked for Amazon in the U.S. you will get your money back.
latent mural
nothing would stop me from getting a product, keeping it 2 weeks, refund, buy it again, repeat
young flicker
As long as you're sending everything back and not doing tens of items a month you probably wouldn't even be flagged.
Plus if you're that worried just make multiple accounts lol.
latent mural
i just assume there's laws to prevent that that i never bothered to look into
plus come on it feels scummy af to do x)
i should, since all mice in stores are mega garbage and there's no way to try out a mouse otherwise
but ehhh
young flicker
I mean you could honestly just ask support if it'd be cool and while it's not the law they'd probably give you a straight, honest answer. I could see them not caring at all - you'll just have to pay for shipping.
latent mural
fun fact
this
is the most comfortable mouse i ever tried, shape-wise
the buttons are ultra garbage
but the shape was 10/10
young flicker
Yep, I worked in the returns building and saw not only how they operated, but what they sold as "new."
Haven't bought a single thing from them since.
No Prime Video, nothing.
young flicker
It's probably much more strict in the EU.
young flicker
Here, just as an example, we'd get Insta Pots that had been opened and they'd be marked to be sold as new. Don't get me wrong they weren't ultra dirty or blatantly used or anything, but they WERE at least bought, shipped, opened, returned, and then sold as new.
latent mural
lmao the spoilerino
if you want something comfortable
there's the mx master
vertical mice can be neat too
young flicker
Oh wow, that looks interesting. Kind of comfortable, actually.
latent mural
yeh the mx master is king for productivity
absolute garbo for games cause...yeah...obvious reasons
but dope for other stuff
young flicker
In b4 brass knuckle styled mice.
latent mural
to be fair the sensor would be good too
its just big, bulky n slow x)
you joke but i remember seeing one
this is apparently a mouse
latent mural
too many questions
buy it now
linus did a video on it though owo
actually wait it's a keyboard
WOOTING BEWARE WE GOT A NEW COMPETITOR
young flicker
Hmmmm.
It reminds me of when people thought IR keyboards were going to take off.
Or, really, Minority Report.
latent mural
X - doubt
young flicker
The best part of being a tech YouTuber has to be all of the stuff you're given or have access to that others don't.
I could've been more clear, I mean those gloves are straight up Minority Report not that Minority Report made bunk predictions. Minority Report is pretty on-point.
latent mural
aha! that keyboard has a mouse mode too
young flicker
In a lot of ways, anyway.
latent mural
but yeah for now i guess i ought to stick with the g604 for the time being
if the switches let me down i'll bail out right away
its kinda scary though
the entire thing is rubberized, so any dust or sweat gets stuck to it
and cleaning it with alcohol is a sure way to yeet the rubber alongside it
the rival 500 was on sale at 45β¬ just a few days ago O.O
oh god i just looked at the cable
wheat plume
this is a thing Id be interested to read the comments for
ashen spindle
without knowing any other specs of the phone? useless question
wheat plume
basically, what if Samsung do what Apple just did with the 2020 iphone SE
slap an A13 in there but everything else is trash tier
ashen spindle
doesnt make sense to compare it, iOS is a huge factor

@prisma crag I'vve got that mx ergo, it's nice
pale sigil
i need more wam

@prisma crag just after you mentioned that roccat mouse i open up reddit and sure enough: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/gac0pv/got_a_new_mouse_pad/
can't be a coincidence

ayy, the mouse is on a cat

16gb is just not enough these days
wheat plume
nope not at all
young flicker
@pale sigil Yep, admittedly it's with the high res textures and a lot of Firefox tabs open but sometimes lack of RAM causes R6: Siege to crash.

comet lake release today
feral jolt
my friend recently bought a relatively cheap 32gb kit and got b die
i might give it a shot and just return it if i dont get b die
ashen spindle
what kit?
also need to keep in mind if its cheap it might be b die that didnt pass the test for a better bin
ashen spindle
hrm yeah that does look like it should be b die fairly often
feral jolt
and its half the price of a 3200 14-14-14-34 kit
ashen spindle
makes sense, those are fairly tight timings for 16gb sticks
feral jolt
latency difference would be something like 1ms or 10% faster
10% isnt worth 120 dollars to me personalyl

Manjaro just beat Ubuntu with how snaps work in the OS :')

@reef patrol you know the time the cml-s nda lifts today?
reef patrol
I don't even know what the hell that means π
ashen spindle
cmon you know :p
reef patrol
I literally don't know what the hell that is supposed to mean π
ashen spindle
just want to know what time I should look for reviews laughter about comet lake
I guess you might actually not know, if its just reviews and not sales that start today

snaps in ubuntu are very confusing tbh.
Its hard to tell if its a normal package or a snap
when installing
wheat plume
and 90% of the time it installs the snap even if you use the apt install command -.-

how do I make javascript add two numbers and not append them? -.-
ashen spindle
make a dll in a good language, make the addition there then call that function from js
wheat plume
:') LEL
I select a radio b utton with value 4 and it gives me 40 because sec1q1score is 0
oh....I put the querySelector in Number()
wheat plume
In JS, can you only return a value from a function if you already passed on into it when called?
