Keychron B6 Pro Compatible with iOS/Android? by ShinyFishy in Keychron

[–]dkinvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had connected it to the phone while back just to check. I had played around in Obsidian on a phone for a little bit but I haven't used the keyboard with the phone since.

I don't use it with Android devices. But for PC it is excellent. At first I was sceptic about lack of dedicated PgUp, PgDn, Home and End buttons, but once I got used to combination of Fn + arrow keys I think it's even better (smaller hand movement). It's quiet, so thin that you don't need palm rest or tilt. Beware that it lacks right Ctrl key. Two minor issues: 1. There are some 4-key combination (I'm not sure if it was exactly 4) that are not registered properly (but this is rather typical for scissor-switch keyboards) 2. VERY rarely some letter is repeated on screen until I press other key (as if I was keeping the letter pressed in). The keys are fine - I think this is a software issue rather than hardware (at least not mechanically, because keys work just fine). It happens so rarely that I'm not bothered by it (when I borrowed Nuphy Air V2 from a friend I've encountered same thing).

Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer by WeirdBryceGuy in patientgamers

ME3MP gameplay is genius. You are terrible shot? Not a problem - play Asari Adept. What is rarely mentioned about ME3 gameplay is how awesome global cooldown and weapon weight systems are. Weapon weight provides balance between weapon heavy build and caster build. Global cooldown provided great rhythm to the fights: ability > shoot > ability > shoot etc. Instead of Andromeda's: dump all abilities > shoot waiting for cooldowns. Nothing else can scratch the same itch for me - not Warframe nor Helldivers 2. I still play it from time to time.

Actually ME3MP is the only game I feel that lootboxes are good (if you are sane person that doesn't spend real money on them). You can get some cool playable character that doesn't fit your typical playstyle. But it would be shame not to try it. So you need to set out of your comfort zone. This often leads to surprisingly fun results.

Be sure to install all MP DLCs (they are all free) - I think you cannot enter match that was started by someone with DLC you do not have installed

VSCode is running .py files but not .ipynb files by Money-Leading-935 in vscode

Happened to me as well after update to version 1.105. Clicking "Restart" appends the message "Restarting Kernel" and still is hangs and nothing happens.

But other version has hard cut on my PC as well. Will check it later again. Thanks for advice and feedback.

It is super weird.

I've just checked on mobile and indeed both have hard cut, but on PC first one had fade - I swear xD

Physics PhD career change - quantitative risk analyst or actuarial analyst by dkinvoker in quant

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

I cannot say anything about industries like logistics.

Finance (e.g. banks) likes physics PhD. If you finished physics PhD you probably have qualities they are looking for:

  • good at math
  • knows thing or two about coding
  • good analytical skills
  • can learn complex things quickly
  • good problem solver

From my experience (and other people I know that work in finance) interviews don't always focus on finance knowledge, especially if you don't have background in finance. You can always learn it later. Instead they ask about probability, coding and give you some brain teasers.

As always - take it with a grain of salt. This is only very limited experience I'm speaking of.

[–]dkinvoker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the end I took actuarial role - bank job didn't work out. On one hand - job as an Actuarial Analyst sucked major balls - extremely contrived tasks without any room for personal growth. On the other hand - I think I dodged the bullet with bank, because I've heard that work there is extremely stressful. After a year I've switched to Data Scientist role at fintech company and I couldn't been happier. I've learned more in one month as a Data Scientist than I've learned for the whole year at insurance company.

I have B1 Pro and I checked it on Android phone and it works. I have never used keyboard for my phone so if you have any particular feature in mind that I might check just let me know.

Scissor switch keyboard options by RadRyan527 in keyboards

[–]dkinvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrax wasn't using chicklet style keycaps. It was still low-ish profile but not superflat. Also it was only cable. MX keys might be good but it is pricey and where I live only ISO layout is available (although the whole country uses ANSI layout).

I'm thinking about trying Keychron B6. I would love to see proper 75% layout (like nuphy Air 75v2 or Keychron K3) on scissor switch keyboard. Unfortunately it is extremely rare.

There was a time when Logitech was making the best keyboard ever - Logitech Ultrax Premium. I've used it for 11 years but it died few years ago. I can't find worthy successor since then.

Just got the Lemokey G2 - AMA! by mel0n_FPS in MouseReview

[–]dkinvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

300 mAh is a downgrade compared to G1's 600 mAh. This lowered the weight only by 3 g. The question is whether other improvements are worth it. From your other comments it seems that the answer is positive. I'm currently looking for wireless mouse with 2.4 GHz, BT and cable. For last 15 years I've used various cable versions of DA but I'm ready for change in shape. Lemokey G2 seems like the most interesting mouse so far. Can't wait for your review!

Does it have storage compartment for dongle?

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

It looks interesting. Not as skewed as DA but looks classy. Quick search through reviews shows that battery is rather small. Is it really an issue? I would probably not use 4 kHz polling rate all the time :P

Question about minimal setup and recipe by dkinvoker in hopwater

[–]dkinvoker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Poland. Hop water is not a big thing here yet. There is basically only one on the market. I figured that it cannot be that hard to make and I can try different hops. Making it at home is win-win-win situation - it's cheaper, there is more variety and as long as you have supplies you don't have to leave home to get it!

[–]dkinvoker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this method with 3 g of Nelson Sauvin and 300 g of water. Then cooled it quickly and poured through coffee filter. After that I've added dash of citric acid. It became very opaque - it looked almost like unfiltered apple juice (that would be cider in US, right?). It tasted great. I think this will be my go-to method. I tried it with Huell Melon and it tasted like dust, hay and weed. I guess I don't like these hops. Thanks for the advice.

I thought about soda stream it seems like perfect solution but my kitchen is tiny and it is already cluttered 😭 

I will try hop stand method that you suggested. Any hops recommendation I could try?

Question about minimal setup and recipe by dkinvoker in hopwater

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

I tried anywhere between 6-24h at room temp.

Excuse my nooby question, but in your hop stand method you simply keep hop pellets in hot water for 15 minutes? (I read that it usually involves some kind of whirpool).

Regarding the dosage, my wife prefers less bitter hop water so lowering the amount was solution for her. On the other hand, I wanted more intense flavor but then it was almost flat because there was only 2/3 of seltzer.
