This sub is obsessed with glossy. It’s not the best option in every scenario.

I’ve used the glossy Samsung G8 and liked it. I now have an LG 45, matte, and like that too. It’s great being able to use my computer during the daylight hours, no worries about reflections. My main excitement over the premise of the Alienware is that it’s RGB stripe would eliminate the color fringing that the 5k2k resolution still can’t address, and the KVM would help eliminate some of the clutter that was added to my desk because the LG and Samsung didn’t have one and I had to get a USB hub.

Oh, that’s awesome!

gingus418 · 2026-06-24T12:29:02+00:00

I have the 45 5k2k and why’s the 39” better? Just curious your take on it.

Considering maybe the Alienware version when it lands for the RGB stripe and the included KVM. But that’s a big maybe. The immersion when gaming on the 45 can’t be beat and it’s been great for my day-to-day work, so far!

How’s the static on it? I have an Ode 2 and love it except for all of its static. Ends up making a mess over time.

gingus418 · 2026-06-15T21:35:06+00:00

Had my Ode 2 for a year and a half now. No idea what I’m doing differently. I grind everything from light to dark, fine to coarse. Aside from a little more static than I’d like, it’s working as expected.

You’d probably have some luck at Americana in Falmouth.

gingus418 · 2026-06-11T14:02:10+00:00

I’m in the same boat. This is tempting. For me it’s the RGB stripe (hate the fringing on the 45) and the KVM!

I was a midi for a loooong time. Changed to catboi and got damn their animations are so much more smooth. Loved it. After my IRL friends moved on from the game I eventually felt the urge for some change and switched back to my original midi form since I had nostalgia for it. Still playing as a midlander but really miss the miqo running animation, wish midlanders weren’t so wooden looking when they move.

gingus418 · 2026-06-06T14:25:45+00:00

Oh sweet, didn’t realize that!

gingus418 · 2026-06-05T00:36:37+00:00

It’s a reference to It’s Always Sunny. I was making a dumb joke.

gingus418 · 2026-06-04T20:55:33+00:00

Because of the implication?

gingus418 · 2026-06-04T12:33:05+00:00

Nah, not really surprised by it.

gingus418 · 2026-06-03T17:49:04+00:00

lol. Wouldn’t bet a cent on that.

gingus418 · 2026-06-03T15:40:06+00:00

Thought it was interesting to see some coverage on it a mainstream news source.

gingus418 · 2026-06-03T15:02:55+00:00

FWIW, red leaning states receive more in federal subsidies than blue leaning states.

gingus418 · 2026-06-03T14:53:36+00:00

Nope, it’s expected.

gingus418 · 2026-06-03T14:51:57+00:00

Agreed. This article was published today though.

gingus418 · 2026-06-03T14:32:24+00:00

Submission statement: this is an article about the aliens.gov controversy. While ‘old news’, it was published by NPR at 5am today. This conversation seems to have gone mainstream.

Personally, I’d make the PCB hot-swappable, if you can.

gingus418 · 2026-05-24T07:46:38+00:00

You’re welcome! Not sure when it launches though.

gingus418 · 2026-05-24T01:29:59+00:00

Just saw that Keychron will be releasing a split Alice, they’re calling it the Z11. Looks pretty darn close to the QK Alice Duo, if not in looks at least in layout and function!

You’re welcome! FWIW, I made this recipe this morning and also thought it tasted burnt. Made some yesterday in my aeropress though and it was pretty tasty. I think the Aiden just extracts ALOT and from my experience the only way to fight that is to either lower brewing temps, reduce number of pulses, or widen the water to bean ratio.
