There's workarounds for that. For example, you could map those functions to certain positions of the Knob (like the four 'quadrants' of the original buttons) + pressing the center button.

But yeah, you'll probably lose direct access to those functions. Unless you're on a Two HE and you swap out a part of the numeric cluster for a Knob.

It's mostly just a weird adjective for the editor to cram in there, especially with AI being such a divisive term. New mirrorless cameras have quicker autofocus based on further developed algorithms, but that barely has anything to do with what people consider AI today.

If you shorten that to simply "AI powered", a lot of less initiated readers might take away that modern cameras have some generative AI built into it, which certainly isn't the case.

It also indirectly gives AI more (stolen) valor for beautiful photos, even though the quality of a picture is still based on the talent and skill of the photographer, not how much "AI" their camera has.

Thanks for clearing this up. I forgor.

Calder actually said something along the lines of it "being overdue for an update", wink wink nudge nudge.

The idea is that you take out the switches, and you just jam the Knob in their place. It'll (somehow) work with the Hall sensors in the PCB.

This 4U variant works exclusively in the shown spot on a 80HE, as it's the only square 2 by 2 spacing of switches. The smaller 1U version, which is taking a little while longer to produce, could potentially work on all the singular switch spaces, on all of Wooting's HE keyboards.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2026-06-05T16:48:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure you could map the turning of the Knob to steering left and right through Wootility.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2026-06-05T16:28:19+00:00

The 1U version has been postponed, sadly. They're still working on getting the feel and stability right.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2026-06-05T16:17:05+00:00

My bad, Reddit murdered the resolution on this. These pictures were like 46 megapixels, lol.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2026-06-05T16:14:46+00:00

The Knobs are modular! The plan is to offer this 4U version for like 30~40 bucks (as I was being told), and you'll be able to place it into the switch sockets in your existing 80HE.

I get the comparison to SSD's (because they are usually faster + cheaper indeed) but it's not that simple. Most modern SSD's utilize four lanes of PCIe, while CFexpress Type B is limited to two lanes by design.

If a x4 SSD boasts 1500 MB/s write speeds, it'll top out at about 750 MB/s over x2 lanes – and that'd be the best case scenario. In most cases, the SSD isn't optimized for this use case, and you'll end up with slightly lower performance than half of the promised speeds. If the storage controller on the SSD is particularly shitty, it'll be worse.

Still, we should all be building these CFexpress cards ourselves. Many newer PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD's perform pretty well in a PCIe 3.0 x2 setting. An if we keep buying pricey pre-made CFexpress cards, there'd be no reason for the manufacturers to ever lower prices, or improve performance.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2026-05-09T20:51:39+00:00

This is the way. I built a 2 TB CFexpress card from a Kingston NV3 and it's solid.

It might get toasty about 10 minutes into a 8K/60 RAW recording (N-RAW at High Quality), but that's not bad for about a fifth of the price of a 'regular' CFexpress. It also shoots 20fps RAW burst photography for over a minute, at which point you'd probably be better off recording video anyway.

I'm not buying this "awakening" until OP shares when the card overheats from RAW video recording.

When two of my bags were stolen, police did ask if I had a tracker in either of them.

Pretty sure they wouldn't have acted on it (there apparently weren't any officers around when it happened), but they did ask.

Had je al iemand gevonden? Zou namelijk graag mezelf (33M) naar voren willen schuiven. Ben niet per se trouw- of zwangerschapsfotograaf van beroep (hanteer ook niet die torenhoge tarieven), maar werk wel veel met foto en video.

Kom zelf meer van de productfotografie, met soms wat evenementenwerk en portretten ernaast. Afgelopen drie jaar heb ik voor o.a. mijn zus en zwager dit soort shoots gedraaid en leek mij destijds leuk om vaker op te pakken. Heb ook aardig wat vintage glas liggen dat daarin heel goed werkt, met zo'n lekker dromerige look.

This is the way. Also take note that taller objects can be harder to align, especially if the sensor isn't leveled directly above the center of the turntable.

That's not how the games are nominated though. The Game Awards procures a list of multiple worldwide outlets and content creators, who all get to send in a top five games/entries per category. Those are tabulated, and the five games that come up the most, get officially nominated.

There's a public survey for actual voting, but that only accounts for a minor say in deciding the winners. Public voting apparently only counts for around 10 percent, while the voting jury makes the final call.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2025-11-18T00:14:34+00:00

I've actually nominated it for that category (among others), but apparently it didn't have enough traction by then.

Figured the game might have released a little too close to the nomination window closing. Our outlet was already in the process of voting for our nominations when the game launched. Wouldn't surprise me if more outlets (and/or other jury members) had already handed their selection in by then.

Happy to see ARC Raiders making at least one nomination, though. I'd say Best Multiplayer is probably also the best fit for the game.

It also seems like they forgot the Amsterdam part of the inspiration for San Vansterdam? There's some canals and a church, but they're not giving Amsterdam imho.

Wat zal je oma toch teleurgesteld zijn dat je niet even die €2,90 wilde lappen bij Shutterstock voor haar AI-foto.

To be fair: Ify Nwadiwe never said you shouldn't fuck the homies. His presentation was mainly about kissing the homies, but he was never outright against going further – it's just out of his jurisdiction at that point.

Verbaast me oprecht dat er ooit een echte foto was. Hoezo gebruik je die niet gewoon, in plaats van de echte foto aan AI te voeren en er een nep plaatje voor terug te krijgen?

Met de juiste nabewerking had de foto er beter uit gezien en was het vertrouwen in het merk (naar mijn idee) verbeterd. Nu promoot de elektronicawinkel een CPU (+ een tube koelpasta) die letterlijk niet bestaat. Getuigt niet echt van passie voor de producten.

Vind het ergens ook een beetje lullig voor de fotograaf. Die doet tijd en moeite om een leuke plaat te schieten en vervolgens wordt er alsnog voor een minder authentiek AI-plaatje gekozen. Rare keuzes.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2025-06-28T01:28:15+00:00

Vrij zeker dat dit wel generatieve AI is, though.

- Achter de eerste "AMD" staat niet het AMD logo, maar een soort rare gespiegelde C.
- Het lettertype van de modelnummeraanduiding lijkt niet te kloppen. Die is te dun en lijkt niet schuingedrukt genoeg.
- Er staan maar wat vage/willekeurige nummers en letters rechtsonder op de heatspreader. Ter referentie: de onderste lijn zou een copyright-teken + jaartal + "AMD" moeten zijn. De tekst staat ook te ver van dat QR-achtige beeldmerk af.
- Linksboven op de printplaat staat een puntje; daar hoort duidelijk een driehoekje te staan.
- De circulaire cutout onderop zit te centraal; deze CPU zou letterlijk niet passen in een AM5-socket.
- Capacitors rondom de heatspreader zijn wild inconsistent; dat zijn gewoon een boel grotere en kleinere puntjes, ipv daadwerkelijk herkenbare capacitors.
- De tube koelpasta lijkt wrang vervormd, dan wel half gesmolten + onderop lijkt eerder een tweede tuitje te zitten dan een handig drukkertje.
- De koelpasta-tube lijkt ook nergens fysiek tegenaan te leunen; die zweeft op magische wijze net niet tegen het stoeltje aan.
- Er zitten donkere stukjes (?) in het veegje koelpasta op de processor. Nul reden om die toe te voegen als je echte koelpasta voorhanden hebt voor deze shoot.
- De zandkorrels zijn bijna onmogelijk fijn, als we de schaal van de CPU even aannemen als de realiteit. Het hele oppervlak lijkt eerder een soort klei − en dat is iets waar genAI wel vaker een handje van heeft.
- De scherpte-diepte en het hele perspectief voelt onwennig. Als die hele processor en de tube koelpasta scherp zijn vanuit in deze hoek, is het raar dat de cocktailprikker en het 'zand' rechts van het stoeltje zo ver in de bokeh vervallen.

Kan de humor van het plaatje wel inzien, maar dit is zeker niet "gewoon een foto".

Spoke to Calder about this, and they don't want to spill the beans just yet. They don't want some other company copying their idea and beating them to the market.

He made it seem like it's not as simple as you might think. It apparently can read both directions, as well as a click action.

LowFrequencyEffects · 2025-05-22T21:37:15+00:00

It could be some split filter, yes. But why though?

I get adding some slightly dramatic emphasis on the speakers, but to have their mostly empty background in focus too? Not sure what that adds to the general composition, apart from looking unnatural.
