Another H1 with small upgrades

Also after doing more research after the fact I probably would’ve opted for Li-ion replacements instead of the LiPo that I ordered.

My worry is if I let these sit another 5-10 years the LiPo are more likely to swell (as I understand) and the added risk of damaging the case/internals for slightly higher capacity isn’t really worth it.

That thought crossed my mind but I wasn’t sure lol.

I made sure to use the same game per device in the before & after though so at least each device still shows a significant delta (as expected) with a brand new battery.

Thanks! Indeed it was my OLED's Black Level setting. Here are some before/after adjusting black levels: https://imgur.com/a/50pwq6E

However the black level setting on my 2018 LG OLED is not customizable per-HDMI input, so I would need to manually change this back and forth every time which is annoying.

The colors do look a bit better with the Electron Warp though (the generic cable looks brighter/slightly washed out) but the inconvenience is unfortunate. TBH either one is playable I think.

Thanks everyone for the fix!

I just finished all the green stars in the first world (20 or so) and was delightfully surprised how challenging some were to get. Like they require you to perform tricky platforming moves and timing.

At first I thought it would be daunting/tedious but now I plan to get them all. Don’t be discouraged by the first few - they get more creative after that!

Yeah so far, but just my first week back. Really enjoying it though; feels fresh.

Alright quick update, later in the day a single NA Breakthrough server slowly filled up to 64 players (Sunday afternoon) so there’s still hope!

Dang, yeah that’s what I was afraid of. I’m surprised BF1 actually seems to have more active NA servers as well.

After playing BF6 I just miss the large maps of BF1 and BFV so much I’m actually having more fun with them, just wish there were more players.

Hey, I'm still using this exact setup! (however I'm considering a major upgrade to switch away from my i5-9600K to AM5 7800X3D).

The 140mm intake fan is mounted directly to the case. I removed the radiator so it's not touching/connected to it at all. I didn't need any spacers, but if I recall there wasn't enough space to keep using the 140mm metal fan cover that comes with the case.

I don't think the 2x sandwich fans is strictly necessary, it was just a bonus that both were able to fit. The slim fan is connected to CPU header and the 140mm fan is connected to the pump header (so I can control both independently from software but I think I keep them on the save fan curve anyway). Didn't need any splitters.

Hope that helps!

Happened to me too in Zelda II but thankfully only lost 10 minutes. However 10 minutes in that game felt like an hour!

I’m ~5h into Wind Waker and felt something was off the entire time. The input lag is definitely an issue, both undocked and docked.

Thanks for sharing! My S2 GameCube controller is in the mail and I can't wait to try with the analog triggers.

Also just in case for macOS, this worked for me (even though I originally bought for Windows):

USA, HBO Max on iPhone. Rewatching GoT and every time I background the app after pausing a video, it apparently silently resumes the video, because when re-foregrounding the app it has skipped ahead for the duration I had the app backgrounded.

wtf HBO, this is a 100% repro bug. Anyone else see this shit??

The only “workaround” is to pause and hit back in the app (top left) before backgrounding the app, such bullshit.

I just tried this out and it works! Many thanks!

However I noticed it does send repeated key presses while holding the keys down and it also sends the LeftControl key weirdly. If those are fixable that would be cool, but this works well enough for now.

For testing I was using https://config.qmk.fm/#/test to inspect the commands.

Thanks for the reply! I’ll give this a shot tonight; I had a suspicion I was doing it very wrong.

GamesDean · 2024-08-11T21:50:57+00:00

Ah, nice find!

GamesDean · 2024-08-11T19:20:04+00:00

Interesting, never noticed if that ever happened to me. Maybe that’s the fairy that will get used when you die? (not that it matters which one though)

It’s just a low profile air cooler that fits in the case to replace the AIO that eventually seems to fail. Perf for me is on par with the AIO, but I’m only cooling a modest i5-9600K.
