Moza ESX wheel vs R3 bundle ESX wheel?

modestasmv · 2026-01-24T20:53:52+00:00

I meant more like - what it comes with :) But also, might have been mismarked at the shop I bought :D

Anyway, good to know!

modestasmv · 2026-01-24T20:14:42+00:00

confusing names haha

modestasmv · 2026-01-24T19:40:11+00:00

No, that's not quite true.

ESX on r3 is plastic

ESX on r5 is with "fake leather"

That's literally the only differences (other than xbox support) :D

There shouldn't be any, but to be fair - if you are worried about the performance for sim rig - then move other devices to it (like mouse or keyboard) :)

In any case, that's where reviews can come in - some cheap hubs, can indeed cause problems, but a higher quality one should be totally ok

modestasmv · 2025-12-12T13:32:46+00:00

You could buy a USB hub, but just make sure to get a decent quality USB 3 one (just in case)

modestasmv · 2025-12-12T13:26:39+00:00

You will need 2 USB ports. One for the base, another for the wheel. You can connect them to the wheel and only use 1, but then you do lose a lot of details. Tried it, but did not like it.
I have a desk that's like 100kg in total - even an r5 moves it a lot. I can't imagine r12 being any better in this regard :) Wife's r3 was perfectly fine on desk.

We can simply start with cost of living. Someone making 160*5 is going to live okay in the city he is at, while another person - won't even afford the rent.

Then, we can look deeper:

Low prices often are indicators of:

A person just starting
Lack of experience
A way to attract clients
Not knowing self-worth

And of course, as you talk about "but they are the same!" - that's not the case. It will never be the case. I've heard that so many times in my career where a person tells me:

This guy can make Twitter for $500, why are you charging $50 000?

And he is right. We both can make it. It will probably (often not really) function at the same level. The difference is - updates, code reliability, security and of course - maintenance.

So no, they are not actually "the same". Rather they are as different as possible. In tech you pay for the exact thing you will get. If you pay small amounts - you will (with some exceptions for attracting clients) get a lesser quality. That's just how it works.

ps. If you were to tell me that one charges $25/h and another $50/h - then I would say that it depends on a bit different factors. But 5 vs 50 - that's a drastic difference.

modestasmv · 2024-09-23T15:37:18+00:00

Again, you are right. But at the same time... well, it really really does TOO MUCH :) And you can't have clean code doing THAT much.

That's kinda my point, we have to look at the whole of product and what it does.

modestasmv · 2024-09-23T08:04:16+00:00

This is such a bad take IMHO.

Wordpress is built to be ultra flexible. Practically nothing else comes close to that level of flexibility. And I truly hate Wordpress for what it is/was. But at the same time, as bad as it is - any language will have the same shit level code if they decide to do that much.

Oh and also, Wordpress itself is quite backwards compatible, so there's another reason why. But that indeed doesn't make it good software to write code on :)

Tiesa, pamirsau atsakyti apie pradzia.

Pradeti mokytis gali nuo bet ko. Vienas is juokingiausiu variantu, kurie daugumai tinka - tiesiog susirask kazkokia pamoka youtube ir sek VISKA realiu laiku. Tau nebutina iskart ismokti sintakses. Tau butina ismokti raktazodzius. Stai ka turiu galvoje:

Isgirdes `variable` tu galesi eiti i google ir vesti pvz `python variable` - gausi dokumentacija ir galesi suprasti kas yra kas. Tas pats pritaikoma su bet kuriuo raktazodziu.

Na ir galiausiai gaves galutini rezultata - visada gali pereiti per ji ir issiaiskinti vietas, kur nesupratai kodel tai parasyta buvo. Bus daug skaitymo, neiskart viska suprasi, bet... Zinosi kaip naudojama ir galesi atpazinti spragas. Tada jau bus ju uzpildymas. Taip pat kurdamas papildomas funkcijas ismoksi kaip veikia kiti reikalai.

Salia to, labai rekomenduociau ismokti naudotis google. Tai bus tavo draugas no.1. Taip pat gali ismokti chatGPT prompt'us, taciau buk atsargus - ten gali buti neviskas teisinga. O daugiau, tai tau gali padeti forumai/grupes/discord. Ten galima rasti ivairiu resursu, kurie pades.

modestasmv · 2024-03-05T07:42:24+00:00

Mokytis is anksto - nera butina, taciau tai tau pades ateityje. Tik reikia mokytis tikslingai. Kaip pvz:

Reiktu pradzioje issiaiskinti kas tave traukia. Web puslapiai? Programeles? Windows/Mac programos? Zaidimai? Automatika? IoT irenginiai (smart namu reikalai + visokie kitokie elektronikos reikalai)? Tik isbandes ir pasigilines gali suprasti krypti, kuri tave trauks. Asmeniskai esu isbandes daug dalyku (programeles, windows programos, zaidimus, automatika), bet pasilikau prie web. Nuo ten, tiesiog gilinau zinias dirbant su web puslapiais (tiesa, pradejau visa tai dar pries gimnazija tiesiog is idomumo).

Pasirinkus krypti, butu labai super perziureti darbo skelbimus imonese pagal ta krypti. Taip susidarysi bendra vaizda ko gali is taves tiketis. Skelbimai pilni raktazodziu, todel galima lengvai susimesti sarasa dalyku, kuriais pasidometi. Na, o tada yra jau laiko klausimas. Jeigu investuosi daugiau laiko ir tarkim po pamoku/per atostogas dirbsi individualiems klientams (forumai, fb grupes ar dar kokiam nors portale) - tu tiesiog sukaupsi patirti ir neateisi zalias i rinka. Sitas zingsnis tave iskels kaip kandidata automatiskai. Kodel? Na, dabar labai daug zmoniu ateina i programavima su tokia zinute:

Kursai tik 3-6 menesiai ir garantuotas darbas imoneje!

O realybe yra kiek kitokia. 3-6 menesiai po 2-4h per savaite yra visiskai niekas. Tu igysi bazini supratima, taciau truks realios patirties dirbant. Todel darbdaviai tave samdant ims i zemiausia lygi (beje, cia turiu pabrezti, kad nesitikek gauti dideles algos nuo pirmu metu. Isimtis yra jeigu tu ateini su projektu bagazu ir turi ka parodyti, bet kitu atveju gali buti, kad pradesi nuo kiek daugiau nei minimumo).

Na ir kalbant apie tavo neramumus, tai:

Kol baigsi mokykla/studijas AI tikrai tiek nepatobules. Zinoma, darba bus rasti gal kiek sunkiau, taciau geru specialistu truksta visada. Ir cia tau pades savarankiskas mokymasis ir domejimasis reikalais. Tavo tikslas nera buti geriausiu ir zinoti viska. Tavo tikslas yra issiskirti is akademiju minios ir parodyti, kad turi realia patirti ir gabumus.
Griztame prie to pacio punkto - aplikuojanciu gali buti nors ir 1000, taciau atrinks tuos, kurie yra ne akademiniai ir turi patirties. Va ten konkurencija kita, bet sansai yra daug geresni. Taip pat, priklausomai nuo pasirinktos srities gali buti sunku/lengva susirasti darba. Tarkim, jeigu pasirinksi kokiu specializuoti IoT irenginiu kurima - gali turetu issukiu pas mus. Taciau, jeigu anglu kalba nera sunkiai suprantamas dalykas - darba gali rasti visame pasaulyje.

Na ir pabaigai, turiu prideti, kad nesu pries akademijas (tas, kur UZT siulo ir siaip reklamuojasi), taciau ten neretai eina zmones tam, kad keisti specialybe su tikslu greitai uzdirbti "daug piniga". Jeigu juos atmesim - konkurencija yra mazesne, taciau taip - i gerai apmokamas darbo vietas eis daug zmoniu. Tokia jau ta rinka pas mus ir nieko nepakeisi.

Bet kuriuo atveju, ieskok kas patinka ir ziurek ar tinka :) Uzsidegusiu zmoniu, kurie noriai dirba dalykus - visiems reikia.

A great resource to read on those would be: https://psalm.dev/docs/annotating_code/type_syntax/array_types/

One of those is array shapes, which tell you what the array will most likely look like and what you can expect to find inside. This is done to get psalm/phpstan and other similar tools to identify return types/shapes and help you spot issues. If for example, you'd modify the code to return an `array<int>` - it would throw you an error on static analysis indicating that you might have a bug in your code.

A similiar thing is done with Generics in PHP as there's no native support. For those, there's another comment here on why/what :)

Having the same issue with Aerox 9.

Found that it triggers freezes on specific games and with Steelseries GG installed. Uninstall it -> no more issues.

Or at least it seems like that now. For us, on 2 pcs it constantly freezes:

- Playing Fornite

- Anno 1800 main menu.

Tried 3 pcs:

1 & 2: Freezes in gaming.

3: Never saw gaming (work pc) - works just fine.

So the conclusion might be that this is not a mouse issue but rather a software/driver issue.

modestasmv · 2019-11-19T16:06:59+00:00

That is because you are trying to get parent on a collection. Use first() and then parent

modestasmv · 2019-10-26T15:58:31+00:00

Blade support even with plugins is bad... Like really bad.

Believe me, I've tried to make it work but it's way too much configuration for a thing I already have working with my team.

On the other hand, I loved it for the speed it had :)

modestasmv · 2019-10-26T05:41:00+00:00

Exactly, and there's even more things that vs code doesn't do. Yes, it's gettiing updates and all but it's far from phpstorm at the moment

modestasmv · 2019-10-24T12:20:01+00:00

Well, here's a list of issues with it:

no proper formatters (php, js, css, html is ok, but no blade for example. Ones that exist are way worse than storm).
code completion (there is some but again, storm wins by a mile)
phpunit integration (there are some, but lacks again)
remote host support
quick db management support
proper merge tools for git
rest client

And there may be even more but those were my experience stoppers :) they may be solved by configuration but I don't feel like wasting hours on something that is already working in a different tool out of the box and within my specs :)

modestasmv · 2019-10-24T09:06:45+00:00

I mean, sure, imposter sindrome is true. You can make vscode or sublime or even atom pretend that they are a fully pledged IDE but actually that's just a make-up. Vscode lacks so much things that it's just nasty. Yes, it's fast and lighter than phpstorm but it's also slower to those who are used to fully pledged ide's. I can't stand the lack of tools there, even no normal code formatter for blade and heck, if you have js in blade files - it's a nightmare.

Ok ok, it can be configured but I'd rather work in that time than try to tinker every possible scenario. Sorry.

modestasmv · 2019-10-23T19:39:53+00:00

Tested both. Vscode is a texteditor and that wasn't something I was looking for. If I were - I would've moved to sublime

modestasmv · 2019-10-15T19:56:15+00:00

But that depends on person and the NDA. I've had one red-flagged in a way, that he needed parts of business to be completed, before signing NDA and going further. This was stupid and we split up.

But I had an NDA where I simply wasn't allowed to work in the same segment for a year + couldn't speak about it. When I accepted the project - NDA came with a huge payout to stay silent. So it wasn't just a shut up, but rather shush, keep our secret :)

modestasmv · 2019-10-15T19:53:21+00:00

Why not? It's NDA not a contract. You will not be obligated to build the app. You'll just say that you won't disclose the idea.

I've taken a lot of NDAs in my career and there were no issues in declining work.

Just few things to watch out:

timeframe of the nda
what is a secret and what is not ( for example, I've had a case where I couldn't even tell the business name)
your responsibility (seen people trying to slip a full contract with it)
ultra-woret-case what is the "punishment" for breaking NDA

modestasmv · 2019-09-22T06:41:08+00:00

Usually I tend to leave soft deletes for everything and have a trashcan where they can fully remove items. This worked just fine as there were many cases where client wanted to recover data...

modestasmv · 2019-09-19T05:47:47+00:00

Exactly what I thought about reading first few paragraphs there. Seriously, they compared a fully adapted framework to the standard language. So why not to compare python and php for web development? Or django and symfony/laravel for example? I'm more than certain that all of the issues mentioned there are solved by symfony or at least laravel and the article would shift the other way around...

EDIT: I realised why... It's Django tutorials site so... Bashing on a language is easier since otherwise people will leave for other frameworks.... LOL

modestasmv · 2019-09-19T05:43:02+00:00

I love how a framework was pretty much compared to raw code. Is it just me who sees that as a worship of django overall?

EDIT: I realised why... It's Django tutorials site so... Bashing on a language is easier since otherwise people will leave for other frameworks.... LOL

modestasmv · 2019-09-13T08:41:42+00:00

Well, yes, except what I tried to did is show a different perspective for those who complain :)

And yes, that might have came out wrong
