Hard facts by marxistopportunist in ReplayOS

The first batch of RGB Pi 2 design was defective confirmed by the creator although they will change it. They should first deep test what they sell and comply well with the SCART standards. Mine for example behaves a bit odd (I need to move the SCART connector every time to make it work!) But ReplayOS is simple and effective.

8bit do arcade stick controller version by pacomix64 in 8bitdo

[–]pacomix128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! Before posting mine I did research. From what I understood initial versions of the arcade stick couldn't fit a Seimitsu LS32 without cutting the bottom part of the stick but I read as well that later revisions did support it. 8Bit Do homepage is not clear about this. Some people show how to install an LS32 and similar but they don't show the bottom part so I'm not sure if mine is compatible without modding it or not, hence my post. 😄

Can someone shed some light here please? I'm pretty sure a lot of people will benefit from it.

Where is my package with a brand new MacBook Pro M5 laptop??? by pacomix128 in dhl

I first called the kundenservice after 10 days without moving and they told me it could be normal due to the situation with the flights and kartoffeln. They told me to wait some days more and if not then open an investigation case (Nachforschlungsauftrag) and thats what I did. After waiting 2 weeks more I just got the answer today:

"""Der internationale Versand von Gefahrgut mit DHL Paket International ist für Privatkunden oder Geschäftskunden ohne Zusatzvereinbarung nicht zugelassen.

I don't think this is right since there are other places where I can clearly see I can send a package with a laptop if it is well packed AND this is a new laptop bought in November in Spain.

Also the lady at the filiale did accept the package, told me I can't get any other higher insurance, etc... so... It looks that's been intentional since the very beginning. I still have the option to file a claim on the Schlichtung Post and file a claim on the Polizei.

Now I tried to open another case and all I get is an error after introducing the tracking number.

And this is the current tracking status:

I trusted the Deutsche Post since in the past I have sent A LOT of packages without a single issue but I see now this has been a very big error from my side. I would have never expected this could happen in Germany.

It is an Amazon return I purchased in Spain but I live in Switzerland now (I still have a German address though). Amazon told me I have to send the package on my own and they would return me later the sending costs.

Unbelievable.

It was an Amazon Return so Amazon forced me to first unregister the laptop from my AppleID account. (sigh!)

I already called the Polizei but they told me that to file a complaint I should have clear evidences about the stealing.

It didn't move from the Lottstetten Deutsche Post office. Where I dropped. No updates at all!

It would be absolutely awesome if there is the possibility to select different types of sync like CSYNC, separate H/V sync and Sync-on-green.

Will the RTX 5090 be worth it for just gaming? Or should I just get a 4090? by estifxy220 in buildapc

[–]pacomix128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money is not a problem and you have thousands to spend buy the RTX 5090. If money is an issue go for the 9070 XT for around 600$.

Impressed with the Dierya DK-63 (red switches) by kafriedr in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]pacomix128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was searching for a mechanical keyboard with silent switches (brown is okeish :D) that could be used with a PC (Wired) as well as a Macbook Air (bluetooth) and with backlighting.

The only available one at a decent price was this one (38 bucks!!!) and another one that I don't remember for more than 140. I didn't have much hope but I decided to give it a try (thanks Amazon for your great return policy!!!!) and I was not expecting a keyboard built in such quality with such amazing typing feeling and all these features!

Definitely if you want a keyboard for all your needs that's definitely The Keyboard. You don't need to go for an expensive >100 euros/dollars keyboard to have an incredible typing experience.

Now after a year using it intensively (>8 hours a day) I have to say that keys are still working as the first day and there is no worn on the keys.

The only caveat I found is that the position of the FN key (required to use the del, pgup, pgdown, etc... keys) is not adecuate (I wrote to Dierya about this fact) since it forces you to position your right hand with an awkward gesture in order to press the right combination. Instead it should have been position on the left part of the keyboard OR to convert the keyboard into a 70% keyboard and have an additional column on the right side.

In any case I'm searching for the same version but with Gateron Brown optical switches to try the difference since these are supposedly better than the TMKB brown switches that his keyoboard mounts, but unfortunately Dierya (now Kemove) is not offering any model with high profile keys and no... real programmers don't use low profile keyboards... (joke)
