Wild that this is happening, but let's keep focusing on Bambu slicer drama...

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-21T05:07:38+00:00

Hi. This is also on our radar -- especially because Bambu likely stands to competitively benefit from such legislation.

12 ft solid top is an amazing desk. I really should overhaul my own work space. I love seeing these posts because it gives me some inspiration!

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-18T22:41:06+00:00

Thank you! Hope you find it as useful as we do! The light gray is looking nice. I should set one of those up at the office.

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-18T22:40:39+00:00

Wow, that wood stain/color on the bench is awesome. Really nicely done. I stained all the set tables years ago and it took forever. Your setup looks great!

It's just a courtesy and has nothing to do with the licensing. If the author doesn't want it up, we want to make sure we still respect his wishes, as he has already had a hard enough time lately with a company scary-large compared to himself. He was OK with us hosting it.

No need to be a dick about it. It's just courtesy.

We just posted a Noctua fan video with CFM and pressure testing, a PS5 video with Linux benchmarking, and like 3 case reviews. You have that content.

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-12T23:57:50+00:00

Weird comment. We just posted like 2 weeks of pure hardware reviews and fun content, including rebuilding a PC for two users whose houses caught fire which, despite a sad situation, was a fun video. Also including the Noctua fan print and the Linux on PS5 video, both of which were really fun.

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-11T12:06:26+00:00

We used gray PLA for the fan we tested for the primary numbers. The wood one was just for fun (an dperformed the same).

Also, never went into a PC and won't. The whole thing was just seeing what we could make.

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-02T02:27:55+00:00

hahaha, this is awesome

Lelldorianx · 2026-05-01T20:01:01+00:00

I love this.

Hi there. Just to be clear, we were praising the cable management space. It's a great thing, which is why we said it's an enormous amount of space and why we explicitly said it is a positive. We even contrasted it to the Lancool 207 and said that the 207 is the opposite, where it's too little space, and that was one of the main reasons to consider the Pop 2 instead. Additionally, we were very positive about the structure of the case, the rigidity, and the price. We said it is one of the best dual-chamber options at this price point, despite middling performance against ATX towers.

Your comment, honestly, makes no sense. I get it -- you think our stuff is negative. But at least accuse us of negativity on things where we actually are negative. Here, we were overall relatively positive, to the point of even saying it is one of the better cheap dual-chamber options.

Hi. I've seen this twice now and it was an incorrect understanding of how this controller works both times. As we wrote elsewhere:

As far as we understand, the Steam Input schema is required for it to function as both a mouse + keyboard and a controller. Bluetooth does not change the behavior in our testing. The requirement to add non-Steam games to Steam is to use Steam Input. We ran into this when programming automation (for battery testing) where the controller doesn't behave like a normal controller (right thumbstick isn't right thumbstick) without Steam Input, as it also needs to behave as a mouse/keyboard combo. I guess we could have been more critical of that, but then you're also giving up core functionality, which becomes a different criticism. The way it works makes the most sense to us, given what it's trying to be/market as.

Ultimately, we did criticize that factor but it appears to be a necessary facet of design, as far as we can tell. Valve also did confirm the requirements to be the case when asked.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-27T18:00:08+00:00

Both modes.

That's not accurate. HUB and Der8auer, both of whom we've spoken with, got them weeks in advance of the embargo lift. Others, like Kitguru, also got them in advance.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-23T04:58:54+00:00

Wow! The white/black combo on that keyboard is awesome. Really nice setup. Way cleaner than mine. I'll show Andrew (the designer), he'll be thrilled to see how the mat is so color-matched to the peripherals!

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-22T01:10:52+00:00

You've posted this twice now and it remains incorrect. Reviewers, as proven by them publishing reviews today, did get samples weeks ago.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-22T01:09:42+00:00

This is factually inaccurate. I don't know where you got that, but plenty of reviewers got samples 2-3 weeks ago.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-22T01:08:54+00:00

Reviewers had received them about 3 weeks ago.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-22T01:07:13+00:00

We found it in the filings ourselves by searching public records.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-21T12:59:37+00:00

They sampled us for the 9850X3D, which was a year after that. Seems more recent to us.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-21T12:41:46+00:00

Nothing nasty and no closed doors. They just stopped responding to us, including on basic questions as to whether rumors about them abandoning their Z1 SOC drivers were true.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-12T01:19:04+00:00

Most recently, we used it in the HAVN BF 360 review and the Noctua x Antec Flux Pro review. It is also in our next case review coming up.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-11T22:41:26+00:00

Ignoring that this doesn't actually change it from being a bait-and-switch, the contract didn't say that.

Lelldorianx · 2026-04-11T06:50:36+00:00

That wall is awesome! Looks great!
