If Gunnar didn't say that they were "gaming glasses" then the marketing would be less cringe and more people might take it more seriously.

not so blind as to need glasses to see something...arm's length in front of me

"gaming glasses"
do they come with RGB?
vagrant elk
Nope.
crisp granite
built in mic and headphones for voice chat?
come on
they're gaming glasses
they gotta have...something
vagrant elk
They are lenses which do not have a prescription but have extra focusing power of 2. I don't know what that translates to but everything you look at is more zoomed in.
The zoom is closer to the bridge which apparently relaxes the eyes.
Other than that, it's just a blue light filter.
crisp granite
yeah, my local supermarket sells those for $12 CAD for a 3 pack
throw on some blue filter stickers from amazon a-la-cheap and boom
I guess it's a case of "GAMING" equals 5 times the price it should be
crisp granite
Mate, clearly.
Aeon...
listen
the marketing had to fool at least a few shmucks
probably the same people who got called shmucks by everyone's friendly neighbourhood terminator/former strongman/former governor
vagrant elk
Oh, one second! I think they have "Gaming FPS glasses".
They have MOBA, FPS and RPG gaming glasses.
I love marketing speak.
young pecan
Jesus fuck that's cringe.
vapid zodiac

crisp granite
now razer gaming glasses????
vapid zodiac
vagrant elk
Razer started making those with Gunnar many many years ago.
young pecan
Bruh.
Didn't you know the glasses give you faster reaction time?
And...
Somehow higher accuracy.
vagrant elk
Where's the marketing speak that says I can get higher FPS in games?
young pecan
crisp granite
it's literally like those Nigerian prince scams
vagrant elk
Somehow higher accuracy.
The only argument I could see being stretched to that extreme would be the extremely minor zoom they have. It's so minor though that it seriously should not and likely does not make a difference.
young pecan
Oh fucking bullshit.
crisp granite
it's so outlandish that the only people who would respond are desperate enough or gullible enough to believe it and follow through
vagrant elk
The only reason I would ever consider Gunnar is if I wanted blue light glasses because Gunnar has 65% filtering and others are like 10%. All of my devices support blue light filters though so I don't think I'd even need blue light glasses.
I just got a text from a random number saying "Wow! I became a millionaire! To be like me, click this link!"
Never had one of those before.

How many steps of analogue are in a controller anyway?

One second, let me check.
crisp granite
#archived_feed_us_back message
@vagrant elk, pretty sure wooting is already working on that or at least tinkered with it
beyond the 4mm threshold
vagrant elk
Can't find an exact number but as far as I know 255 steps of analogue input should be plenty for almost everything.
I'm not sure about other games but CS:GO supports controller input and has exactly 255 steps of movement.
crisp granite
pretty sure that's the standard for wooting keyboards as well
vagrant elk
https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/195657629060694016/8777704136718...
If they are then I'm sure someone will make use of it.
vagrant elk
pretty sure that's the standard for wooting keyboards as well
Yeah, Wooting has exactly 255 steps of analogue input on Flaretech. It might be 256 but I can double check that if you like.
vagrant elk
I'm not sure if Lekker is more than that or not.
Regardless, yeah, it should be enough.
crisp granite
¯_(ツ)_/¯
vagrant elk
I can't think of anything where you need more than that.
crisp granite
chryosran's review didn't touch on that

Both have linear switches so they should be roughly the same.

vagrant elk
Flaretech Wooting keyboards are no longer sold.
crisp granite
not shitty switches
flaretech batches, at least the later ones, were absolutely awful
worn valve

Thanks for the fast opinions gotta go !

possibly more with lekkers
Lekkers do have more steps of analogue input but it doesn't say how much.

There are tons of options
young pecan
I can easily just not use hard drives anymore.
old marlin
Just pick something that fits you
young pecan
I see very little point for a perma HDD.
Maybe something external since I'm not sacrificing speed.
And if I truly do need crazy resilience and capacity I'm just going to make a NAS instead of having it all in one case.
crimson wigeon
Eh, I went SSD only and left all the spinning rust in the old puter to be used as networked storage..
More reliable this way anyway since I can easily share the same stuff with both operating systems and don't have to fiddle with iffy drivers
I don't really need those bays right now but it's nice to have you know
old marlin
Same
young pecan
Point being 99% of everyone buying that case isn't actually going to need the sheer capacity of a RAID6 made of 12TB HDDs, so there isn't much point.
Most people will be fine with a 4TB SATA or NVMe drive.

young pecan

And yes The Cloud is not always the magic solution to all problems
young pecan
Everyone does know you're basically Amish, Locke.
Yes.
(To cover the joke, it's deliberate overkill)
That do be why we install large capacity drives.
We have a use for them. So you get high speed internet and local storage.
Relying on either one is a fuckin' dumbass move because either way it's still putting all the eggs in one basket.
Internet goes down? Shit.
Drive does anything except work perfectly? Shit.
No shit. :D
But neutering your internet connection because you somehow believe relying on drives above everything else is remarkably short sighted.
Yes, Locke.
So we do both of them at the same time.
Hard drives and internet connection are not mutually exclusive technologies.
Ok ok.
Everyone but the technologically Amish.
This isn't 1995 anymore, we've moved past that.
I'm glad I didn't.
The sheer information density and function density of the internet is waaaaaay too versatile to pass up.

yup
vagrant elk
Imagine inventing something and being unable to support it.
reef tundra
I mean. doubling the ALU width is not too hard to make.. but Intel was the first to try and push the mess
ashen spindle
pure doubling would just allow support though and not really have fully performance support for it
and given that zen4 is expected to have full support and not just doubled alu like anandtech guessed, that would be quite funny
though I guess raptor lake might support it and that could come out around zen4 release so it would just be a weird one off disabled thing for 12th gen
reef tundra
Largest issue with supporting larger alu's in higher power requirement for every instruction. Even when you didnt utilise the avx-512 instructions. Or did they worked around the issue already?

and yes, they greatly improved the extra powerdraw betwenen 10th and 11th gen

Managed to cut very deep into my thumb, leaving me to bleed quite severely for 15 minutes with another 15 minutes of slower flow.
empty wren
Well least it was your thumb in the case
vagrant elk
Something similar for me, just that it was all negative regarding me
If it makes you feel any better I used to sit around other people I didn't know just to make it feel like I was a part of a friend group because I had no friends.

I had a shower and washed my hair and now I have water in my ear. This is annoying.

While the other kids were skating on the ice like normal people would. I was the...
Were they skating on a pond
reef tundra
It was winter at the time

That is implied

Atleast had enough braincells to put pressure on the wound and rush inside for some first aid.

My grandmother lost a toe or cut it off during winter
She tied back on correctly
And in a warm room everything turned out okay
vagrant elk
I went to take out the trash today and have one of those stupid trash cans where if you press the pedal too hard it flies up and hits you in the foot. I hit it too hard today and it landed on one of my toes. Shattered the nail on the top and it hurts.
reef tundra
Dont know if its my memory overexcaturating but I remember my entire hands covered with blood already. In the end it shouldn't be that much as I had no weakness or fatigue you would expect from blood loss.
empty wren
Well blood could have mostly went to circulate elsewhere
So less blood for da fingers
reef tundra
Could be accelerated due to me running.
empty wren
Oh my bad I read that wrong
reef tundra
Or Im just build differently and store a lot of excess blood somehow
empty wren
Nah you body works harder in the winter anyways
reef tundra
If it could work a little harder and not be bleeding for like 30 minutes
empty wren
Well fair enough
reef tundra
What does surprise me is how liquid blood is. somehow always think of it as more viscous instead of the water it actually is
neat oriole
I think the viscosity of blood depends on the person
Some people have thicc viscous blood
Some people have fruit punch Gatorade
It’s why some medication can’t be used by certain people because it affects blood clotting and such
reef tundra
Really? lol. Could be I have low coagulant count. Takes like 5 to 10 minutes to gel up, somewhat
neat oriole
I can’t remember what it was but I think there’s a common over the counter pain killer that can’t be used by people with thinner blood because it makes it even thinner so if they get a cut it’s gonna be like a fountain
reef tundra
Aspirin?
empty wren
neat oriole
Ok guess I was half right
reef tundra
That reminds me I should check my blood pressure soon. maybe. 🤷
empty wren
Ok guess I was half right
Situationally right, I bet some people like you said could have a condition that causes very thin blood
neat oriole
I’m just glad I don’t run on fruit punch Gatorade

young pecan
Look, here's the trick.
- Download and install decent Antivirus (malwarebytes and kapersky)
- Defrag all drives (windows has a utility for it)
- Make sure all drivers are up to date (snappy driver installer)
- Enable your true RAM speed in your BIOS if it isn't already
- Do a modest overclock, check online in multiple sources
- Don't overfill your SSDs, keep them at 85% capacity at very most
Do your own research about those topics and get educated.
Don't go running random regedit files and whatnot, omfg.
