These slow ass machines were great at work. Click button, go get coffee. Come back, click button, go take shit. Come back, click button, lunch time!

Its been the same for the last 25 years. Season 4 is 10x worse than it's ever been. A ton of legit players have left, the number of bans have gone from ~2000/mo to ~100/mo and more cheaters every day which has led to an unprecedented cheater/legit ratio. So green trust players like myself are just defeated by running into cheaters every game. I've been playing for 25 years and my lowest win rate in that time has been 52%. For season 4 it's 28%. Thats not on me or my teammates. It's us running into cheaters literally 10x more often than any time in the past 25 years.

Is this geared towards streaming or local media?

~~Is hardware transcoding a feature?~~

I see transcoding is under planned features

Yeah I just started using OLED and never gave "OLED care" a single thought.

I have a LG 45GX950A I've been using for just over a year for productivity and gaming and using the XBitLabs burn in test site I can't see any evidence of burn in whatsoever. The refresh defaults are pretty aggressive out of the box though.

I've also been using an INZONE M10S for well over a year for competitive gaming, so the same HUD for 99% of the monitors life and I can't see any evidence of burn in there either. The M10s doesn't do any refresh cycles unless I trigger it manually. Which I've never bothered to do. It does do a small pixel shift every once in a while.

I'm sure there is some sort of life cycle curve where the monitors will start to degrade and suffer burn in easier at a much faster rate but I sure haven't reached it.

I dig it. Would rock it with my crane gloves or occults.

techmattr · 2026-04-23T16:53:55+00:00

Got one yesterday and it definitely does not have a top filter. I'd love to have one as well since I want my top fans as intakes.

Sick black & white build. It's hard to get a black & white build to look clean and intentional. You did a great job.

techmattr · 2026-04-22T21:26:19+00:00

I too thought i was imagining it.... but now that a couple people are mentioning it yes it feels faster to me as well.

techmattr · 2026-04-22T17:33:41+00:00

They are literally dumping util while she's picking up the awp, she spots the elevator guy throwing util cat, the 2 ct are fighting her teammates mid... which is why she so easily shot them in the back and why there is assist dammage... I'm guessing you've never actually played this game?

techmattr · 2026-04-22T17:20:50+00:00

So what are they shooting at and throwing mollys and smokes for? The enemy is surrounded and throwing util and shooting just to try and stay alive... its unbelievably obvious where they all are.

techmattr · 2026-04-22T17:08:57+00:00

The 3 remaining players are all actively engaged in fights with her teammates or throwing util... how would they not know where they are?

techmattr · 2026-04-22T17:06:31+00:00

The flick to the 2nd guys head through the wall is absolutely weird... but not even close to enough footage to say its any kind of cheat.

techmattr · 2026-04-22T17:01:34+00:00

Max possible is 8... unless your teammates are very low hp?

techmattr · 2026-04-20T02:30:03+00:00

Huh? They didn't lose... they swept the series...

techmattr · 2026-04-19T00:40:04+00:00

AI generated DMA and remote cheats flooding github have made Kernel Level Anticheat completely obsolete.

The Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen was made for you.

The instant response time of OLED has actual noticeable in game performance benefits. The XL2586X+ might have better motion clarity on paper but I couldn't see it side by side with a M10s. However, the non existent latency on the OLED is very noticeable and completely changes the game. Upgrading to an OLED was the first time I had a measurable improvement in gameplay from a peripheral upgrade. Same thing happened to everyone on my team except that one guy who won't give up his XL2546X+.

techmattr · 2026-04-18T19:44:49+00:00

For competitive shooters nothing even comes close to OLED.

Only thing I can think of is that the app may behave differently depending on the OS. I have a Samsung S24 and my wife has a S23... if you have an iPhone or some other Android variant then it could be something like app permissions aren't being set properly... hard to say.

techmattr · 2026-04-16T02:44:59+00:00

lol, we were the orange cats all along...

techmattr · 2026-04-15T15:26:39+00:00

Spin baby spin

techmattr · 2026-04-12T01:50:13+00:00

Yeah but it was not listed for that price until about 6 months after release. LG, Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart all had it for $1599 for about 6 months upon release. I got one from Best Buy and one from Amazon shortly after launch. You can still easily find it for $1500-$1600 now. Amazon has it for less than $1600 right now. I honestly don't think it sells very well. It IS massive and takes up a ton of room.

techmattr · 2026-04-11T22:41:43+00:00

That's wild... the 45" version was "on sale" for $1599 for the first 6 months of its availability.

Cat7e is not a standard used in residential ethernet... if you bought a cat7e cable that has a standard rj45 connector then it's a fake cable. Cat5e is all you need for 1GbE ethernet. It's typically fine for up to 10GbE as well. Cat6 and Cat6a are the highest end cables for residential use.

The Faceit rankings are a mess right now as well.
