I prefer non-membrane pantagraph though

2018-07-13 14:43:05 UTC  

but they aren't known for lengevity... thus the reason I am currently using a mechanical

2018-07-13 14:44:14 UTC  

+ pantagraph that aren't membrane are super rare outside of some high-end notebook lines. The one I was using before I basically had to special order

2018-07-13 14:44:34 UTC  

Razer is coming out with one apparently though

2018-07-13 18:31:57 UTC  

i have one with cherry brown switches so its not super loud

2018-07-15 15:35:25 UTC  

I just crimped my first RJ45 head in .... like 15 years

2018-07-15 16:06:58 UTC  

I have blue kahle switches in the current board I'm using. I'll only be using this board till I find a new pantagraph keyboard without any rubber/mebrane but I'm not holding my breath and I like it in the mean time

2018-07-15 16:09:03 UTC  

wtf!?

2018-07-15 16:10:21 UTC  

oh it's the drivers. I suspect those aren't the official drivers --- though not that I actually care I don't use anything from logitech

2018-07-15 16:19:07 UTC  

Oh i hate the logitech software

2018-07-15 16:19:29 UTC  

"software" as in there's something other than drivers?

2018-07-15 16:19:34 UTC  

I had to cripple its telemetry

2018-07-15 16:19:49 UTC  

Yeah for the G series mice

2018-07-15 16:20:05 UTC  

wait so you need some special software to use a mouse?

2018-07-15 16:20:14 UTC  

Need for setup, set polling speed dpi remapping etc

2018-07-15 16:20:27 UTC  

It has a numpad on the side

2018-07-15 16:21:18 UTC  

oh, I have an ASUS mouse that can do that but it's just a client you run and when you're done you just close it

2018-07-15 16:21:38 UTC  

The program doesnt need to stay open

2018-07-15 16:21:58 UTC  

and someone reverse engineered it so I don't even bother switching to windows to do it I just do it from within linux

2018-07-15 16:22:07 UTC  

I mean, it stays open in the taskbar actually

2018-07-15 16:22:42 UTC  

I could actually do stuff like hook up the reverse engineered stuff to like change the mouse LED color when I have mail or whatever

2018-07-15 16:22:50 UTC  

I might get similar from asus if their software is less shitty

2018-07-15 16:22:58 UTC  

the windows software was fine

2018-07-15 16:23:07 UTC  

doesn't stay open/in the task tray

2018-07-15 16:23:19 UTC  

and it's just one piece of software for all their stuff

2018-07-15 16:23:30 UTC  

they have a common protocol for all their stuff

2018-07-15 16:23:38 UTC  

EG lighting is AURA etc.

2018-07-15 16:23:54 UTC  

My asus mobo has terrible software so i havent bought anything from them in awhile if it would need a driver

2018-07-15 16:24:43 UTC  

my ASUS motherboard is pretty good all in all, but I'm not running special software for it

2018-07-15 16:24:53 UTC  

Z370-F

2018-07-15 16:25:20 UTC  

had the right sepcs and was on sale for the right price

2018-07-15 16:25:33 UTC  

I must admit I like how it looks too

2018-07-15 16:26:15 UTC  

too bad my cable runs are garbage and I'm too lazy to make them all tidy

2018-07-15 16:26:57 UTC  

but I don't have lights in my case or whatever and I'm the only one who ever looks

OMFG system library management on windows is as solid as diarrhea. I have libcurl on the path - can't find it. I specify the exact location of libcurl in the build dirrectives - can't load it. Delete line in build directives and put libcurl in the local build folder - WORKS. I have to package this by the middle of next month and I'm seriously thinking of just blowing money on having a windows dev do it for me because this is awful.

2018-07-17 04:37:16 UTC  

Linux I just specify the dependency in the packaging file and it will just be there - no having to specify extra stuff it's just there and that's that

2018-07-17 04:38:20 UTC  

how is it like 25 years of packaging systems working on Linux/BSD/etc. and MS can't come up with something similar?
