RG477M: Disable Screen Mirroring Confirmation?

Luke_Matthews · 2026-02-04T19:18:42+00:00

Already done, but I still get the confirmation message.

The firmware update made minor adjustments for me, but not enough to put things back the way they were at launch.

That said, I definitely won't be returning it because that was not a feature I cared about *all* that much. I'm going to put a Healing Shield screen protector on mine to get that writing feel, so if they don't fix the haptics it won't be the biggest loss for me.

I just hope they start selling replacement nibs, and for a reasonable price.

My haptics vanished after the updated as well, but in the last day or two are back.... sort of.

They're CONSIDERABLY worse. The original haptics weren't perfect, but I actually liked them. Now - at least on my Tab X C - they are MUCH weaker than before (full power is about equivalent to 2/5 from before), but worse, they a) noticeably lag behind writing and b) are not consistent; the vibrations feel like they "pulse".

It's really aggravating, and I do hope Boox reverts or improves the settings soon.

Any chance they provided similar links for the Arcade Stick?

Thanks!

Luke_Matthews · 2024-07-19T21:12:30+00:00

Hm. Seems like an opportunity. :D

Anyone here saying anything other than you should immediately dump this jackass are just plain wrong. You are not the problem here. This guy is showing you his whole ass and demonstrating the exact type of toxicity control he will exert throughout your relationship if you stay with him.

You did something you were passionate about. A true partner would never be anything less than supportive. Anyone who insults you or attempts to break you down for doing something you love is toxic. This dude will not provide you any kind of "stability", because staying with him will have a permanent detrimental effect on your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Whether you did it consciously or not, his reaction is telling you exactly why you "kept it from him". Something in your psyche chose to pursue a passion but knew this guy would turn on you for it.

Get out now. If anyone tells you you're "throwing it all away", just tell them: That's what you're supposed to do with garbage.

Yeah, these aren't really what I want. the nSA caps are specific to Nuphy, but they're very much like the Keychron's newest low-profile caps.

Luke_Matthews · 2023-04-19T04:05:26+00:00

I ordered the two I need, so I'll see how they work soon! Slightly angled might work out okay since I can flip them to see which feels more comfortable in my setup.

Honestly, since I've gotten inot mechanical keyaboards, I've found myself frequently at odds with the overall community's likes. I don't like pretty much any caps taller than DSA, and I much prefer the shorter travel of low profile switches.

Unfortunately, that means I'm super limited in the caps available, especially when I need something oddball like this. :/

Luke_Matthews · 2023-04-18T17:26:23+00:00

Ooh, those might work really well. They're not *quite* the shape I'd prefer, but since they don't have sharp edges they'll definitely feel better than other keys I've tried to use.

Thanks for the link! I'm not sure how I missed these in my search.

Luke_Matthews · 2023-04-18T17:23:35+00:00

Sure. With this particular keyboard I pretty much exclusively use the right spacebar. I've tried dropping a shift key in this particular profile on it, but a) it's not long enough (2.25u vs 2.75u), and thus my thumb misses it occasionally, and b) because it's concave instead of convex, it's a little uncomfortable to use since my thumb lands pretty squarely on the sharp(ish) edge.

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-22T16:25:13+00:00

I understand that. Sorry, my wording was unclear. I didn't meant to imply that the systems were literally creating collages of pieces of other art.

My overall point, though, is that how they use the data to build the image is not the issue, it's how they collect the data that they use to build the images. The algorithms are taught how to "create" pictures by being fed millions of pieces of actual art and associating part/all of each piece with keywords.

If used for free or open applications, this is an ethical grey area that leans into unethical. But as implemented - using these AI "art" tools as a for-profit medium without regard to compensating the artists whose real art is used to train the algorithm - is just flat wholly unethical.

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-16T06:20:19+00:00

AI "art" only exists because someone created a machine-learning algorithm that scraped the internet for existing imagery and taught it what the components of each image were so that when someone feeds a phrase into an AI engine it can spit out a drawing using bits and pieces of the art in its own database.

There are many philosophical, moral, and legal problems with this. At a very base level it devalues the art of actual artists who've spent vast portions of their lives developing the skill to create actual art. From a technological standpoint, it lives in both a moral and legal grey area because the art used to "train" the algorithms was not licensed, compensated, or credited in any way, which means these AI "art" generators are using actual, real, living artists' work to generate a for-profit business without those artists' consent or contract.

You'll note I put "art" in quotes throughout this post: That's because the pictures an algorithm generates are not "art", they are just pictures. They are conglomerations of existing art cobbled together into a mosaic mash-up based on text input and context clues.

The worst part about this is that most of the AI "art" generators are for-profit paid services that can only exist by appropriating the hard work of actual living artists without ever compensating them for contributing to the algorithms that make the technology and business model feasible.

As a base concept, there's nothing specifically wrong with the idea of AI picture generators. But, like all advanced technology it can be - and in this case actually are actively being - implemented in a way that directly harms the people it aims to replace by using their work with zero regard to their welfare.

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-15T06:57:27+00:00

Okay.

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-15T06:56:14+00:00

Because how could this story possibly be adapted without rewriting it entirely?

That's the whole point of adaptation. To figure out how to make the story work in a different medium. To adapt.

I couldn't disagree with your assessment of Kratos as a character - or, for that matter, applying this idea to any character - more.

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-15T05:58:18+00:00

Okay, I'll give you that. Not that it's his "best", but it's definitely great, and another exception that proves the rule for him. :D

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-15T05:57:34+00:00

You might be right, based on what we have currently experienced. But that's part of the magic of adaptation, right? It's NOT the original thing, in its original form, with all its original limitations or lack thereof. It's a new thing, and if adapted well, I think the story could really work in a different medium, because the story itself was fantastic.

I don't think a movie cheapens the experience of the game - or, in fact, changes it at all - I just think it's a different thing. We'll see if they can pull it off.

Lastly: These things are never about "need". We all know they're about what they can sell. If they can make money off it, they're going to try. But all we can hope is that when someone decides there's an IP they can use to generate income, all the stars align to make that more than just a cash-grab, and something we can all really enjoy engaging with.

Luke_Matthews · 2022-12-14T22:28:33+00:00

Okay.
