Spent the easter weekend with my Australian relatives; it’s been truly wonderful

About 630€ worth of SteelSeries gaming peripherals including their flagship keyboard and mouse at the time.

I had to RMA the keyboard twice because of its input messing up; I didn’t bother trying to replace the third one once that messed up, I just bought a Model M instead. The mouse was fine, albeit very over-engineered; It has an OLED screen on its side and a vibration motor for some reason. Had to RMA that once for wear issues but I still use the second one as it’s a great mouse all things considered.

Their customer support is great, their products not so much.

Someone once said on here that NEC made TVs like that but I couldn’t find anything

You could always go for /e/os though

Edit: Didn’t know it was this bad…

Eh, I’d rather sell old flagship phones on and have them be used as a phone for a while longer…

“computer CPUs” is great as well.

“I’m sorry; we predicted that, if we were to release you now, you’ll murder someone.”

Reminder to watch Minority Report again… I don’t even remember whether that movie was any good or not

Yes, it’s even worse than that; it’s worse²

I still don’t believe that Kubrick actually wanted the movie to be as bad as it was…

Even worse, he directed Earwig and the Witch… Tales From Earthsea was at least somewhat competent

Celebrate 50 years of Microsoft by switching to Linux

Well, you know what they say; everyone’s got cancer according to WebMD…

Windows computers that is

Does it still let you sign in locally if you disable network interfaces in BIOS?

Don’t think so. The setup itself can’t complete without internet.

I’ve overclocked your GPU by 60mhz

What? Did you overclock core or memory? Would overclocking by 60mhz even make a difference in both cases? Did you adjust the voltage accordingly?

I don’t know shit about overclocking and yet I still know that it’s half-assing it

And DLSS Frame Gen is more of a last resort to get the most FPS out of your card (IMO); 92 FPS without it doesn’t seem that low and frame gen probably wouldn’t help much in that case anyway, unless you want it to hit VSYNC on a 120HZ monitor maybe? But it just turned off the framelimiter… I’m confused

How can an email be “sponsored”?

Thanks. They’ve since released a statement claiming it’ll be back in full operation tomorrow so I hope that means I’ll get to Australia…

Hoping my flights to and from Heathrow tomorrow won’t get cancelled…

I’m pretty happy with Tidal so far; I tried Qobuz back when I was looking for an alternative to Spotify and I remember the Android app being borderline unusable. I might be misremembering things though.
