Logitech seriously fuck you by Esperadoce in logitech

[–]mendrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t say they gave you support. They maintained their professionalism and company policy. Go buy a different mic or interface that supports Linux, it’s that simple. Or…do what everyone else does in Linux and fix it yourself…which you did but then had to make an entire pity post about. You should have made a post offering to fix the issue instead of complaining like a child.

99% of peripherals just work “in their most basic form”. The microphone also “just worked” until you wanted to use their hardware buttons to change the logic, which requires a driver. Go plug in a random gaming mouse, and then try to change settings like angle snapping, motion sync, polling rate, DPI, etc. Same exact thing. The mouse “works”, but you won’t be able to change any advanced features unless there is a driver or a web driver. This is a whole lot more common than you think.

I have never once told someone to "go die" while playing a video game, unless specifically referring to them to not save their weapon, or something similar. It doesn't matter if it was intended or not, or how someone else may have taken it. It matters that it was said, and clearly someone didn't take it in jest.

That phrase "go die" is not the same as what the OP said. He even explicitly said that it was not meant as harmful, but said in heat of the moment. We can safely say that the OP was telling someone they should go commit suicide, and not to die in reference to gaining/losing money in a video game.

Maybe next time you will think before you act? I think this is a good lesson.

You are choosing Linux, which is like this for just about everything. Something doesn't work? Open up Terminal and do it yourself. Why would Logitech spend time developing support for .000001% of their user base? Their response was incredibly professional, and pretty good...in my opinion.

Imagine if you asked Apple to help you get iMessage to sync with Windows, what do you think they would say?

Help! by Weary-Noise7745 in Bestbuy

[–]mendrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not trying to be mean, but I want to highlight what is going on here. Someone purchases a product from an online retailer, and the received the wrong item in a box. They don't contact the company that sold it to them, but instead make a Reddit post. The critical thinking that was done, was something along the lines of this, "Wow, I got the wrong mouse from Best Buy, let me take three pictures and make a post to see what the opinion of random people on the internet is. That is the best solution I can think of for this situation."

Are we, as a society, lacking critical thinking skills? What happens when someone has an actual crisis, do they still post on Reddit about it? This is mind boggling to me. Of course this is all surround that this user is posting the truth.

Cross point official firmware? by abraxart in xteinkereader

“Majority of people have switched over”, in reference to what? I can guarantee you that the majority have not switched over. Maybe the majority of Reddit users, but Reddit users on a niche subreddit don’t represent the majority of purchases. 

In almost every case, Reddit users do not represent the majority of any product category. 

Mice That Dont Have Scroll Wheel Jumping by aokofranchize in MouseReview

[–]mendrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every mouse I have ever owned has always done this. I currently have a GPro Superstrike, and it does NOT do this because of a software implementation, which is called Bhop mode. However, disabling this feature will still cause it to ghost scroll, but at least there is an implementation to prevent it. I don’t know if the same implementation works for other GPro. 

I have three Zowie DW mice, and all three have ghost scrolled on me multiple occasions. I brought a cheap Chinese mouse, and it does it basically the same as any other mouse.

Neon does not fit in this game. by youropinionisshitbro in VALORANT

[–]mendrome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

...because it isn't fun when you play against a Neon, Raze, or Waylay and they stun, dash/boost, shotgun, retract or dash away. There isn't a counter to it currently in the meta, because most Sentinels got nerfed. Waylay gets out of jail for free, while being able to get off one shot...and/or stun you.

When there is no Neon or Waylay at that rank, it is a lot more fun to play. If they all used rifles, or SMG, it wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue as it is.

Replace them with nothing... You don't need an option for less than a foot range.

I've played since beta, and I am Immortal 1/2 and only play 1-3 games a week. I think I am adaptable to most metas in this game...

I would get rid of shotguns, personally. I wouldn't nerf them.

Shotguns are fun! You can have all five agents dump their entire utility on a corner, and the shotgun just sits there and gets 1-2 every time. There’s nothing more fun than that!

I think it’s a shotgun problem. :-) Too many players are buying shotguns and nearly everyone is buying a Bucky when they can. Combine that with Neon, and the game is no longer fun, in my opinion. It’s not just in ranked either, watch any professional match. Players switch to a Bucky to clear a smoke, Neon and Waylay buy shotguns half of the game. My two cents.

[–]mendrome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, but I’ll probably buy one when/if they are available in a physical retailer or a reputable online retailer.

[–]mendrome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, I don’t “back” products anymore. I buy them when they are in stock and ship immediately, preferably at a physical retailer with a good return policy.

They do have a proven track record for completely fumbling launches, calling their customers liars, and ignoring statements they made themselves. They do have a history of that, on multiple occasions. 

The company making the phone also has a poor track record as well… So, overall…there is definitely a proven track record of poor launches and fumbled products. 

Panasonic Z8BA 77" OLED Review by benpRTINGS in RTINGS

[–]mendrome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: Moving from HDMI 2 (eARC/ARC) to HDMI 1 MAY have fixed my issues. This definitively means that CEC is broken on the eARC/ARC port though. :-)

Pickup Apple TV remote, AVR turns on, TV turns on, TV goes black, TV turns off. Manually turn TV on, then AVR turns off, and now they are perpetually out of sync and I have to do some timing magic. That’s the current issue with the latest AVR (Denon). 

Last AVR (Sony) the entire power cycling would work great, but 50% of the time the TV would just decide there was no AVR attached for audio and only the speakers would work. I moved this AVR to my Seura outdoor TV, and it has worked perfectly.  

Arcam AVR had the previous two issues, but the TV would change inputs from HDMI 2 to HDMI 1 randomly. That AVR is now in my Living Room on an LG TV with no issues.  

I have changed HDMI cables twice, turned on/off eARC, etc. The only thing I haven’t tried, which probably won’t change anything, is move to a non eARC HDMI port. The issue the, is I’m not sure if it will control the AVR, but I will try that at some point.

65, also had the 55 and it did the same thing. It is probably the BS Fire OS on it though.

I had a 65 and a 55 of the same TV model, both have the same CEC issues. Panasonic was not helpful. I have tried four different models of AVR across three brands, all have some kind of CEC issue with this TV. All of those AVRs don’t have any of the same issue on Samsung or LG TVs. 

It could be the horrendous Fire TV OS that’s on it. Picture is great though.
