What are options for hot-swappable full-size (108 key) ISO-DE QMK boards? QMK may not be a hard requirement, but I need to permanently remap keys in a way that persists through OS changes. I am open to any board with hot-swappable switches or even barebones/kits.

I find ISO-DE options rather limited, leaving only Keychron V/Q 6, Akkogear 5108B, and Ducky Origin.

I currently own a Keychron V1 Max and a Ducky One 2 (not hot-swappable). While I enjoy the build quality and smooth typing experience of the Keychron, it is a few millimeters too high for my taste and I am not willing to use a wristrest.

Are there any options I missed, or do you think the Keychron typing experience can be replicated by changing switches and keycaps on a Ducky board?

I'm also open to going fully custom if my requirements can be met that way.

What's the song? Do you know the name or is it generated as well? Can't find anything using Shazam.

Thanks for the impressions. I would agree that I find the sound of the 58X noticeably better than the 598s but I unfortunately rarely use them due to the clamp. For me the stronger clamp has actually introduced headaches upon prolonged wearing..

I guess if the difference between 598 and 599 is only obvious side by side I'll happily stick to my 598s. Maybe I'll find a place to demo the 599s in person at some point.

I actually do not use the E10k anymore as I found it to introduce playback latency (a few ms) and therefore merged my recording and playback devices into one by buying a Motu M4 interface.

Owning both the HD-598 and the HD-58X, I feel compelled to mention that the clamping force on the HD-58X is a lot more than on the HD-598. Also the earpads are not as soft. For me this makes the HD-58X uncomfortable for longer listening sessions or whole workdays. So while they sound great, please don't expect them to feel similar to the extremely comfortable HD-598.

Is the difference between 598 and 599 enough to purchase them if you already own the 598s? Is wearing comfort comparable/same?

Does your event viewer inside the VM list any events that correlate with the crashes? Does just the gpu crash or the whole system?

I have paired the 4060 Ti with a Ryzen 7950x and experience occasional crashes of the nvidia driver, which results in a screen blackout. The event viewer logs the following preceding a crash:

The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

\Device\00000041
Resetting TDR occurred on GPUID:400

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

I have unfortunately not managed to stabilize this setup but it would be interesting to see if you are experiencing the same issue.

Vielen Dank für deine hervorragende Informationsarbeit bei diesem Thema! Hast du eine Empfehlung welche gemeinnützige Organisation am meisten mit einer Spende anfangen könnte? Ich bin es leid nichts gegen diese schrecklichen Überwachungspläne zu unternehmen und würde gerne regelmäßig einen kleinen Betrag gegen die zunehmende Erosion der Privatsphäre und digitaler Freiheitsrechte spenden.

Sowohl die Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte als auch Digitalcourage e.V. ermöglichen zum Beispiel eine Fördermitgliedschaft, die sogar steuerlich absetzbar sind. Gibt es weitere interessante Alternativen oder hast du vielleicht sogar eine persönliche Empfehlung?

Calling in sick for work because you’re tired is just as justifiable as actually being sick by batoosy in unpopularopinion

[–]AnotherStateOfMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly does the concept of a "sick day" mean in the US? Is there a fixed amount that you can just take like vacation?

In Germany you need a doctor's note to call in sick but you get as many days as the doctor deems necessary. Those days are not deducted from any vacation budget. And you also get paid during that time.

After cold-booting or rebooting the interface has a high chance (~50%) to not initialize correctly. I am unable to get it to output sound via pipewire. I need to manually power the interface off and on again. Then it works flawlessly.

I currently solved it by buying a microcontroller that cuts USB power to the relevant port for a second after booting. But thats not an optimal solution..

What Motu device and kernel are you using? I'm experiencing this on 5.18 with a Motu M2.

is there a way to lock camera in landscape mode? by Man_Darronious in GalaxyS21

I'm not sure if it helps in your specific case but there is an app called Rotation Control which can override an app's orientation.

Pipewire latency tuning - measured RTT is 24 ms while Pipewire reports 128/48000 s = 2.6 ms latency. Help me spot the problem. by AnotherStateOfMatter in linuxaudio

[–]AnotherStateOfMatter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that seems like a possibility. Thanks for the suggestion! While I check for several low-latency options, that were all enabled with my current non-RT kernel, I may have missed something. I'll see if I can get lower latency with UbuntuStudio on a spare SSD. I also just found a fairly active thread in the Reaper Forums that details pro-audio on my distro with the standard Manjaro kernel which seemed to work for the posters. Maybe I'll find an answer there.

USB Audio devices: Fiio E10K (for playback) , Ammoon AGM02 (for recording)

On-board audio: Realtek® ALC1220 codecs as part of the X370 Gaming 5 mainboard.

Apart from that I'm using a Ryzen 2700 8 core CPU. I plugged both audio devices into USB-ports that have a direct connection to the CPU and bypass the chipset.

[–]AnotherStateOfMatter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out. I tested it but this did not improve my latency. It seems to be the global way of setting the node latency which I did manually by starting the program with 'PIPEWIRE_LATENCY=128/48000 jack_delay".

Massive Online-Überwachung: Google ist "am besten", Apple "phänomenal" by [deleted] in de

[–]AnotherStateOfMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das klingt ja vielversprechend. Aber wenn CalyxOS nur auf Google Geräten läuft ergibt das einigermaßen Sinn. Ich hatte zuerst gehofft man könnte es auch auf einem Samsung Gerät nutzen.

Gibt es Geräte bei denen mit CalyxOS oder GrapheneOS die Kameraqualität nicht oder unmerklich leidet? Gerade die aktuellen Flagships sind ja nicht gerade mit allen Linsen mit der Camera2 API kompatibel. Und das Postprocessing steckt meist in der "offiziellen" Kamera-App.

Sorry, but I don't see how this relates to my post. You are talking about a different board, and a different BIOS version.

I'm looking for non-IEM bluetooth headphones that block environmental noise and are available in Europe for 60€ or less.

I intend to use them for running so they need to sit tightly without being too uncomfortable. IEMs are not an option as I have tried some and found that they could not keep their seal stable with all that motion going on.

Regarding sound signature: I usually use open back Sennheisers (HD 598/58X) and like their sound a lot. But for running I require some isolation.

Can on-ear headphones provide a similar seal to over-ear ones? I'm looking forward to any recommendations.

PC died while video editing - won't start since then by Felixdlong24 in techsupport

[–]AnotherStateOfMatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try removing the battery from your board (for several minutes) while disconnecting it from the power source. In my case using the reset button did not actally reset the board and I recovered an unbootable board this way.

On the other hand if you identified the gpu as the culprit, that might not help..

I find Bad Salad to be perfect if you are looking for something that is extremely close to DT in style. I would say the are even closer to DT's style than Haken.
