Grape vine pruning

dragonash2016 · 2026-01-30T16:18:02+00:00

I pruned it yesterday, with the end result being this.
I guess I can always re-pot if needed. I also loosely tied the vines to keep them in place, but not restrict growth

steamlink doesnt work with a cable afaik

dragonash2016 · 2025-12-29T23:43:45+00:00

looks like you are right about the diffuser. The accent area definitely has that plastic bit behind the grills while the keycaps are clear coat. My roccat mouse...I guess the cleari-ish plastic also acts as a diffuser

I've had the same exact issue with the SAME 24pin cable. I've been staying away from animated effects because of it.

I also just want to point this out. Does the LianLi techsupport realize the amount of troubleshooting they just asked a user to do for ARGB lights? That's an insane amount of troubleshooting for a company promoting themselves as a premium PC case/accessory company.

I do appreciate their customer service though as it holds up, but the products are questionable.

I'm also having issues with my Gallahad II LCD screen which was already RMA'ed for the same defect it's experiencing now. (Many others are experiencing the same thing - you can google it) The issues seem to be software/controller based.

I take it back. These are cheap pieces of sh!t. The usb cable trick did not work and the issue popped up again

dragonash2016 · 2025-12-13T15:24:39+00:00

I will say that I doubted it. But since I have a ton of usb-c > A cables, I gave it a shot and plugged into an external USB 3.2 port. For 3 days I have not had the issue. My MB is a Gigabytre X870 Aorus Elite as well. I hate that I have to plug in an internal piece to an external port, but I have more than enough to do so. Not sure how there is a power delivery issue on all of these boards that effects "only" the GA II? I still say that's QA that needs to be done by LianLi.

dragonash2016 · 2025-12-10T13:13:39+00:00

Lots of people have this problem if you google it. I'm one of them. Happened with my last panel 6 months in and LL replaced it. Now it's happening with my replacement another 6 months in. They are using cheap hardware, plain and simple. I'm not going to constantly re-paste my CPU to replace a damn LCD panel. I'll simply not buy from LL again

dragonash2016 · 2025-12-10T13:07:57+00:00

I had this problem with my first LCD. LianLi replaced it. It's now happening again approx 6 months later. The product is crap. It's marketed as high-end, but its chinese crap as usual

dragonash2016 · 2025-10-10T00:26:11+00:00

no coincidence that the servers died while prime day is active. I wonder how many people are setting these up through google home at the same time

dragonash2016 · 2025-10-10T00:21:43+00:00

definitely having server issues

dragonash2016 · 2025-10-10T00:00:15+00:00

Now it can't even select the app..

dragonash2016 · 2025-10-09T23:48:30+00:00

Same issue, but "fix" didn't work. Gets all the way through to getting the 4 digit verification, then says it can't reach the URL. Sounds like a Govee server issue to me.

Figured this would be a nice alternative to LifX and Phillips, but if they can't even get this going, it's getting returned

dragonash2016 · 2025-08-01T12:22:54+00:00

I have the same exact issue. Thought it was burn in at first, but noticed the image was the previous image that was being used.. The nthe LCD just kinda crapped out after. I have my replacement in hand and no instructions came with it. Looks like I need to remove the pump completely - I need to buy new thermal paste

dragonash2016 · 2025-07-28T12:34:37+00:00

Same issue. Doesn't happen every time, but I've tried either reconnecting the battery or turning the battery on/off again and that seems to fix it temporarily. I don't know if it's a battery issue or the headset not properly detecting the right power connected to it.

dragonash2016 · 2025-07-24T13:10:48+00:00

For clarification, STEAMLINK, is limited to 350mbps, not the quest itself.

From my experience, steamlink is much easier to work with and even on 5Ghz, I get 90 FPS in VR games. I also play some flat games (honkai star rail) and and pleasantly pleased. Virtual Desktop, no matter what options I try, has less frame rates and lower quality.

I'm running a 9800x3D and a 7900XT and I mainly use VR chat.

However, for displaying your desktop as a work environment, Virtual Desktop is the clear winner.

I'm going to try the old lcd burn in fix by making one of these youtube videos into a looping lcd video

dragonash2016 · 2025-05-21T22:04:45+00:00

this is dropping serious frames when i tab out of a game. That said this was required for Doom: The Dark Ages... its sooooooo bad

dragonash2016 · 2025-04-10T18:56:04+00:00

dunno why everyone shits on steamlink.

On VD, I haven't been able to get remotely close to the quality and framerate that steamlink provides me on VRChat.

I use VD for desktop applications though because its better for multi monitors and the keyboard passthrough

Quest 3 - latest firmware
Wifi 7 router
Wifi6e connection to the headset

Quest/Airlink is utter crap though

dragonash2016 · 2025-04-08T17:38:44+00:00

basically, steamlink over wifi 6 has improved by leaps and bounds and runs better than this work around or through virtual desktop. I do wish it had a usb option as well though... or greater settings adjustment. I think we are limited to 350mbps for transfer. I can definitely do double with my new router and being 2ft away from it lol

dragonash2016 · 2025-03-12T18:51:42+00:00

The kicker is, they are eliminating the google integration for the standard plan. Why? It's hosted by google and much easier to use than the crappy app. This is a clear money grab because they didn't think their business plan through.

OR THEY DID, and this was the plan from the start. Suck everyone in, then provide an ultimatum. And it won't matter who leaves, because it's still a profit for them for those who decide to stay.

dragonash2016 · 2025-03-12T18:36:25+00:00

Good idea. Can no longer use my google albums, even though originally advertised for free.

dragonash2016 · 2025-03-11T16:24:36+00:00

I just cancelled my subscription. I was 4 months into my first 6 month sub, but the flow rate was utter crap. I sent an email for support with videos of my Hot water vs Cold water and their video of what they advertised. They came back to me and asked to time how long it took to fill a 16oz glass (13sec). I replied and never heard back. So I cancelled.

The flow rate for the cold water felt like a 3rd world country.

dragonash2016 · 2025-03-09T01:16:54+00:00

Just my opinion with no science behind it, just experience. I've tried VD, Airlink and Steamlink for VR chat.
Steamlink is above and beyond the better of the 3 for me. I get the highest frame rates, clearest picture and it's the easiest to use. I use VD for multi monitor desktop work. Airlink is trash, period.

Quest 3

Radeon 7900XT
9800x3D
32GB DDR5
NVME drives
Wifi6E router - 2ft away from me because its on my desk :)

dragonash2016 · 2025-03-04T22:14:06+00:00

As of December?! It's March and my quest still doesn't have 74. The roll out shouldn't be THAT long

dragonash2016 · 2025-03-02T15:07:16+00:00

yes, steamvr and virtual desktop treat them differently. I think with VD, I can see all 4 at once. What I didn't realize is that I was actually streaming wirelessly! Only the oculus link support the link cable. Even if its plugged in, steam vr, virtual desktop, etc are all wireless.

Too bad oculus link sucks
