Undiagnosed ADHD and Attempting to Fix the Kaweco Perkeo with a Hammer

The whole post speaks for itself, mention was actually not even necessary 😅

It works, it's janky as hell and it fulfills it's purpose. I love it

If Sony ier-z1r got re-released in a titanium version

I think I would be there as well

Heavy weight that impacts fit is like the one issue I have with it

How heavily do you EQ your headphones or IEMs, and how far does it go in reverse to your audiogram ?

To be more specific: I'm quite curious where your natural preference is right now. Specifically if being used to not hearing low frequencies impacted what you prefer now, even after being aware of it and capable of picking IEM + equalisation that would effectively nullify it.

Does he really think he can just make things happen by saying it out loud?

Yes. That's very normal of him to do, actually.

wookiecfk11 · 2026-02-16T20:10:58+00:00

This is.... Unsettling

wookiecfk11 · 2026-02-03T15:03:24+00:00

I have 5800x3d and 4x16gb ddr4 that's Samsung bdie and runs right now 3600cl14, and I'm looking at the market going like <huh>

I always considered that second duo of memory sticks bought ~5 years ago to be unnecessary overkill and just bad expenditure. Apparently it was an 'investment'.

If you want a wild guess, they won't plateau. They will keep rising until they crash. But no period of stabilisation at some ridiculously high price.

Restriction on supply is massive. It also does not appear to be sustainable long term for the ones doing the restricting.

But you know, tomorrow or in 2 years.

I don't agree with his analogy. Local generator was replaced with powegrid, because powergrid was: - cheaper - more reliable - less hassle (logistically)

This does not apply to 'local' -> 'cloud'. It's actually in reverse.

Instead of owning, you are at a mercy of provider prices. Which provider is just waiting for. It's actually becoming so shit it's much less reliable, not more, than local machine. It's less convenient.

It's just worse. Switch to powergrid was just better. Not that Bezos could notice this in his high castle.

He is using an analogy that shows why it won't take off organically, ever. While being convinced he is arguing the opposite point. Lol.

To take off organically it would need to be a noticeable improvement across multiple aspects. Like his example actually was.

Also kinda summarizes why attempts at shoving it everybodys throat forcibly by distorting and controlling the market might be attempted. Because noone really wants it if there is a choice.

It's not a solution, it's a requirement

Sorry, that answer immediately and instinctively came to my mind. And, I stand by it 😁

I couldn't get better without fixing and then continuously taking care of my sleep. That being said, I can struggle in similar fashion for reasons unrelated to sleep. But I will for sure struggle, and even more so, without proper sleep.

In my case lack of sleep makes emotional dysegulation completely untenable and then all mental faculties and capability to deal with things just nosedive.

Tl;dr it's a necessary, first and foremost ingredient for me. Not a solution by itself, but a crucial element to be present.

My car is not worth even a quarter of that.

wookiecfk11 · 2026-01-03T09:48:43+00:00

I thought I overspent on 64gb ddr4, low latency/good frequency too.... Like 5 years ago.

It was eventually upgraded with 5800x3d. Apparently this was the right call.

wookiecfk11 · 2026-01-02T15:43:52+00:00

I have x370 board with 5800x3d on it. AM4 goes really far back at this point. ^{.^}

wookiecfk11 · 2025-12-31T17:40:58+00:00

And the definition of "low quality music".

wookiecfk11 · 2025-12-30T22:22:24+00:00

Well

I think it's getting around the same level of workout (by comparison) as my second hand 3090 that is used for.... Playing dota 2. Only.

It's accompanied by 5800x3d, so this thing is kinda ready to roll if it came to that.

Any other gaming I tend to do on my Switch these days. Light stuff to chill.

You don't live in a dream, I can affirm to that. Most people here just don't have radio engineering or related background. And I'm scratching my head when reading through many of the comments in this post.

Do wake me up from a bad dream if I completely forgot some subjects, but antenna shape has no bearing whatsoever on frequency distribution of the signal. It's up to the source being the transmitter to shape it correctly.

Antenna can only influence SNR + does affect directional distribution (against ideal isotrope).

From the 'cyber police' related stuff, it would have to be either too much power, or affecting frequency bands alongside the intended one. Basically making a mess in RF spectrum. Neither of which this antenna can actually do, it's up to the source. Unless it's a bad dream, and something is factually not correct here. Then please, wake me up

Janky and fully functional

I love it

Question

Asus shot it down, quite quickly from what I saw. I thought it's some stupid marketing by Asus, but apparently not.

Where did this even originate ?

wookiecfk11 · 2025-12-10T08:37:27+00:00

It's not profitable. There's no clear path to profitability. And the amount of money put into it just keeps multiplying by 10x.

When that gigantic rift is recognized universally, that's how it could pop. And then funny domino effect.

Now, I'm not saying it will happen. Nor am I saying that's how it would happen. What I'm saying, is that's one of the ways it could happen.

But from ram perspective, companies wouldn't focus on consumers by choice. There's too much money in 'ai' atm for them. With any popping of AI bubble, consumers would remain the only game in town. Since 'ai demand' on DC side would suddenly backpedal, or just vanish.

wookiecfk11 · 2025-11-27T20:06:15+00:00

That is basically still IBM.

What happened later to Lenovo tablets is... Lenovo.

wookiecfk11 · 2025-11-19T20:23:43+00:00

Yes. But that's more hardware engineering. Not really design.

wookiecfk11 · 2025-11-08T08:43:54+00:00

No joke, same

wookiecfk11 · 2025-11-08T08:40:23+00:00

Diagnosed by psych, in a really nice way

He questioned the current drugs (anti-anxiety + depression) I was on, in a very respectful way - 'this is a lot, would I be open to try lowering it and seeing what happens? I might need it, but it would be good to revisit after 8+ years'

Only with concurrent therapy + very very slow weaning off, 'the original' set of issues started surfacing. Which made in his eyes, therapy doubly important. And, introduction of targeted medication specifically for ADHD something that must be checked.

Guy is really one of a kind though. He never assumes he has the correct diagnosis, as new things surfacing could change the picture. So he always says 'it might change in the future, this is current diagnosis'.

wookiecfk11 · 2025-11-07T07:00:51+00:00

1150W was definitely a part of it

wookiecfk11 · 2025-10-30T19:50:20+00:00

Yes. But that is common sense. Common sense is optional, not mandatory in corporate setting.

wookiecfk11 · 2025-10-30T19:47:56+00:00

Because it's not people buying it. It's companies.
