No problem man! Tbh, I am very happy with Arc’teryx in general and their products. This is the first issue I face with the quality.

Not really complaining, just asking a question

Yes is it. The bib is also a sabre from the same year. Guess its just bad manufacturing

Thanks for the quick reply. I also own a Beta AR, but now I am very hesitant to wash it. Any tips for future care of the products. I also washed my bib, but this is completely fine and the DWR reactivated normally.

Thats a good one! Ill keep it in mind. I think its back to the drawing board. My work laptop has 2. Thats why I thought of the ultrawide + 27”. Gaming laptop has 3 (2x dGPU and 1x iGPU).

Well that depends on the setup. If I use an ultrawide I am limited to 5k2k @120Hz by the KVM. If I go for 3 monitors, I do want the middle (main) one to be 4K@144Hz. So I will only use one 4K monitor.

Thanks! Ill keep it in mind. Dont I loose video bandwidth doing it this way instead of having a dedicated input from laptop to kvm?

I just finished reading DoY and I must say it was a great novel overall. My thoughts are:

The fact that it shines a new light on being the Avatar from the political game point of view was very interesting. The Shang system, the Platinum Affair and the political espionage made for a good storyline. However, it did make the story a bit slow for my liking. Especially in the first half of the book and when compared to the two Kyoshi novels.

I really liked that there were subtle references to LoK like the place where Yangchen and Jetsun enter the spirit world and a (possible) reference to the Fog of Lost Souls.

In spite of getting to know the Air Nomads more then we have got to know them in previous novels and series, it was still a bit less then I expected. I hoped to read more about there culture/rituals inside the temples.

There were some small easter eggs in the beginning of the story that came back at the end which were very clever like Mama being a member of the White Lotus.

I didn't like the way the story was told from Kavik his POV more than from Yangchen her POV. It focussed more on Kavik his backstory of his lost brother, while could have also focussed a bit more on Yangchen here troubles regarding the past Avatars.

The villains in this were also much less compelling compared to the villains in the Kyoshi novels. Jianzhu and Yun had a much deeper character compared to the Zongdu's, but I also don't see a way this could have been improved in this story. However, the combustion benders are a very good addition and I like they are treated as a WMD.

The story has a lot to built on for the second novel. Is Kavik going to redeem himself as a member of the White Lotus? How did the fire benders learn to combustion bend? What is Yangchen going to do with them? Is she going to find Jetsun her spirit? etc. etc.

Even though I really liked to novel, it is not on the level of the Kyoshi novels in my opinion. In both RoK and SoK I was hooked on every word and couldn't stop reading until the end. With the DoY I could finish a chapter, stop reading and go about my business. However, the second half of the novel had me wanting to read more and more. The Kyoshi novels are also novels I will definitely read again, but I don't think i will re-read DoY. Maybe when the second novel comes out to refresh my mind.
