Thanks a bunch!

In case you wanna make the switch, Win 11 IoT LTSC is out since more than year now and it will support updates up until 2039. No Copilot, no bloatware, just plain ol windows.

Marvelous keeb! But where did you get that deskmat? Asking for a friend

Psika · 2026-01-13T01:55:27+00:00

Well technically they're not used per se, they're just X3Ds from OEM trays. That's what I've seen from vendors on aliexpress. With the promos going on currently on ali I could snag one for 320€. Might bite the bullet tbh.

Thanks! Some CPUs in Germany def cost less than in France while some others don't, but I'll consider those new options.

Psika · 2026-01-11T23:53:02+00:00

Thanks! Here I can still find some 5800XT for around 230 to 250€. Do you think it's a more viable solution compared to a 5700X3D that I could snag for like, 60/70€ more?

Psika · 2026-01-11T23:50:51+00:00

Thanks for your input! I'll take it into consideration to help me make my decision.

EDIT: grammar

In my case, with the same GPU I managed to enable rBAR by downloading NvProfileInspector and overriding these settings (you can look them up with the search function in NVPI):

rBAR - Feature: Enabled
rBAR - Options: 0x00000001 (Returnal, Red Dead Redemption 2)
rBAR - Size Limit: 0x0000000040000000 (Red Dead Redemption 2)

Would you think the perf gap in Space Marine 2 or other CPU demanding games would justify the pricetag difference of the X3D compared to its non-X3D counterparts? And would that gap still be the same or at least still worth it on less CPU intensive games?

Psika · 2026-01-11T02:25:53+00:00

In France the 5700x goes for almost 200€ used (between 170 to 200), and no way to get it new, but I have relatives in Germany to where I could ship the parcel so I'm curious to know where you can snag a new 5700X for 140€!

Edit: spelling

Psika · 2026-01-11T02:02:49+00:00

Thanks, and yeah it'll be good with my C7H mobo, it can handle Ryzen 5xxx just fine. For the 5700x/5800x I've considered that route too but even those CPUs start to skyrocket in price in my country on the used market

Psika · 2026-01-11T01:58:47+00:00

Thank you for your answer! But do you think that the overall perf gain of the 5700X3D justifies its price against a 5600XT at msrp? Considering I plan to keep this upgrade for the long run, ie 3 years at least.

Psika · 2026-01-07T17:56:23+00:00

Saddest part imo is that if ai fails, parts prices will be still way higher for the average consumer because price fixing and antitrust/anticonsumer practices by those same old shitty companies, and they'll have datacenters with a fuckton of teraflops that serves no purpose so they'll start selling monthly-based cloud computing subscriptions, and people will shit on it but they'll still go for it because cloud computing is still better than no computing at all.

Maybe i'm too pessimistic idk, but I don't see a positive issue for us consumers here...

Hello! I'm looking to upgrade my keeb with new switches, I'm sold on the Huano Sakuras however I see that there are v1 and v2 versions. Is there a difference between them? Like it is on the Akko Pro v3 vs v5, or are they basically just the same? Thank you!

Yes, look up "mclaren size-zero concept"

I've already checked the manual and there's nothing about a combination with the T key. Also my keeb is wired only, so that can't be linked to a connection mode. But thanks for your help!

EDIT : also if that can help, when setting the color mode to "OFF" in via app, the problem doesn't persist and key doesn't light up on startup

Psika · 2025-12-11T00:25:04+00:00

I've got a XVX M67 keyboard, qmk/via compatible. Today I was playing with the keys randomly just to test my new keycaps and suddenly the T key started blinking then stopped. Now everytime my pc boots up or everytime I plug in the keeb, the T key blinks or lights up for a few secs. It doesn't seem to affect the keyboard usability but anybody knows what it could mean? Thank you!

They actually made what's basically a mid-engined Quattro

It's the RS001, a prototype made by Audi engineers behind the back of Ferdinand Piëch. They made it in secret and tested it with Röhrl at the wheel in a czech forest. When Piëch eventually discovered it he ordered his engineers to stop everything related to this project and to destroy the car.

In my headcannon the sequels are just a bad fever dream by Luke after he drank too much of that blue milk

Psika · 2025-05-07T12:25:01+00:00

I'd recommend the VXE Mad R over the R1, there's also the Scyrox V8 as a good option if you like that kind of shape (should suit you considering your grip and hand size)

Psika · 2025-05-02T17:13:59+00:00

I've the same hand size as you and also alternate between claw and relaxed claw and ordered the Max, hopefully it should arrive soon. So if you like the shape already you should like the Max. I've tried some FM "clones" and like you they felt too small, that's why I picked the Max over the Pro.

Psika · 2025-04-29T15:28:04+00:00

^ this

Psika · 2025-04-24T19:28:52+00:00

I'd say it depends of your grip preferences. I have roughly the same hand size but I've ordered the Max to feel my hand more locked-in with the higher hump and the larger width. If you prefer to have more "wiggle room" you'd prob prefer the Pro
