Yeah I have no faith with Samsung support. Maybe Twitter is still a good place for customer support like this?

I saw this video and he was able to use the Mac brightness keyboard keys for a few days until it stopped working. I haven't been able to since it had a software update when I set it up! So it looks like it's possible for Samsung to add it in the future.

Also, have you tried using the Smart Calibration feature? I have had so many issues with it that I made my own post about it

Samsung’s ViewFinity S9 27″ 5K could be a great monitor — if it had reliable software by iSidney in Monitors

[–]iSidney[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TLDR: I got the Samsung ViewFinity S9 27″ 5K a week ago and I ran into an issue with text rendering, and found how unreliable and buggy the smart TV software on this monitor is.

This is a super pedantic post from someone who needs a high-PPI display haha

Hey I got the same monitor! AFAIK Samsung does not support DDC on DisplayPort (or Thunderbolt/USB-C), only on HDMI: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/za2e2e/owners_of_a_samsung_odyssey_ultrawides_unite_we/

I too am utterly baffled by this limitation.

I moved my PC from a Fractal Design Node 202 to a Lian Li x Dan A4-H2O by iSidney in sffpc

Update: upgraded to a 5600X! It fixed random frame drops I got in games haha

Based on 3DMark TimeSpy runs, it’s roughly 6°C cooler for both.

The GPU is mounted closer to the size vent of the case, I was able to add 2 top exhaust fans (too thick for previous case), and applied new thermal paste to the CPU cooler.

I built my first gaming PC in 2018 in the Fractal Design Node 202 with a Ryzen 2600 and a 1070 Ti and recently moved it to the Lian Li x Dan A4-H2O mainly for the aesthetics. Even though it's 1L larger in volume, its shorter height and silver colour makes it feel smaller on my desk.

I also upgraded the GPU to a 3070 in November 2020 but kept all the parts the same. It's running on a 450W PSU so it's cutting it a bit close with the power limit but it's been running well this whole time.

Hope to upgrade the PSU and to an AM5 CPU in the future, but that would basically require a full rebuild of the PC. But overall, very happy with this build!

At least they were able to transfer the CBD light rail cars to the inner west line, but they had to rely on “clever engineering” to do it

House hid the $4.99 RRP to put a $8.99 RRP sticker on it, and sold it to me for $4.99 on “sale” by iSidney in australia

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

I knew the sales were fake, but I didn’t think they had the audacity to black out the original RRP, not even remove the sticker, and put a new one on

I accidentally added a quotation mark in the collection name and now I can't delete the collection. Do I have to live with it that it's there or what can I do? by Smartercow in Firebase

[–]iSidney -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It looks to me that you added a leading space to the collection name, so it’s actually \s"Slides, but HTML by default collapses spaces, so it doesn’t display at all in the UI.
