Long term ergo-mech keyboards reviews
  • Been using the Glove80 for over a year now and I love it.
    Everything about it is exactly what I wanted from an ergonomic keyboard and it's also very customizable.
    It's been very comfortable for me from the moment I got it up until now. And while I used to like rough PBT keycaps texture, I've learned to enjoy the Glove80's smooth POM keycaps.
    I had only one keyboard before it which I could consider as "ergo" and have used for quite a bit - The Sweep. I liked it, but the limited amount of keys ended up being an annoyance for me. Especially when gaming. Plus the Glove80's curve and palm rest make it substantially more comfortable for me, despite it being a larger keyboard.

    There are only 2 things left on my checklist for the "perfect ergo keyboard":

    • Lighter switches - I got the red chocs before the red pro chocs were an option. I'm thinking of soldering the 20g ambient switches though.
    • Pointing input module - There was some work going on about an Orbital v2 touchpad integration with the Glove80. But I haven't heard anything about it since (I think it's been over a year).

    So I've been eyeing the Svalboard.
    I'm not sure it'll fit my needs as it isn't wireless and has less keys. But I love everything else about it.

  • Why pick on us? Cyprus perplexed by Hezbollah threats
  • Because there are no indications that could happen. On the contrary.
    If you've read the article, Cyprus has tens of thousands of Lebanese refugees who have been coming to Cyprus since the 80s.
    In addition to their lobbying to financially assist Lebanon.
    And their ongoing humanitarian aid.

    Might as well threaten all of Europe.

  • The decline of Intel..
  • Nvidia is also currently building their most powerful supercomputer in Israel. And the CEO has also mentioned the Israeli startup Mellanox (which they acquired for 7 billion USD) as an important part of Nvidia's success.
    He also said “Israel is home to world-leading AI researchers and developers creating applications for the next wave of AI,” as recently as the end of last year.
    Considering that, their startup accelerator program with over 300 Israeli startups, and their 7 R&D centers in Israel (Intel has 4 facilities), I'd say that by your logic Nvidia is much more "pro-Israel" than Intel. And it's number 1 in the OP's article's list.

    Don't see any Israelis in the board members or owners. Them and the founders all seem to be American. I did see Bangladeshi-born and Malaysian-born Americans on the board.

    You're doing semantics with yourself.
    I wrote that ByteDance is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese. Nowhere did I write "owned by China".

  • The decline of Intel..
  • Tiktok is owned by ByteDance, which is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese.
    Intel is headquartered in the USA and was founded by Americans.

    Intel is investing in Israel for the same reason other companies like Nvidia do (who just acquired another Israeli startup last month and has 7 R&D centers in Israel). Innovation and talent.

  • The decline of Intel..
  • Intel is an American company.

    If you're bothered by Israeli involvement you should avoid all the companies in that list, including AMD, as they are all invested in Israel and have Israeli teams.
    Even large Chinese tech companies like Xiaomi, which has an R&D center in Israel, are invested in Israel.

  • OLED monitor momentum expected to continue — analysts expect 1.34 million units shipped by year end
  • That's true. But if you look into the test, it includes monitors and has them showing footage with static elements.
    At the 6 months mark, which is aprox. 2.5 years real life usage according to RTings, the monitors barely had any burn-in according to RTings - Although I couldn't see any burn-in. If you compare it to the non-OLED TVs at that mark, many of those had very noticeable uniformity (and other) issues.
    So according to this test, the monitors are already doing better than LCDs.

  • OLED monitor momentum expected to continue — analysts expect 1.34 million units shipped by year end
  • Other than the Samsung S95C which is the newest model in their test.
    16 months of extremely intensive tests which isn't how you'll use these IRL. Which is why they refer to it as "accelerated longevity test".
    If you'll read a bit more about the test and the results, you'll see that all of the LCDs there are also having other permanent issues.

    According to them, if your usage includes varied content, burn in won't be an issue.
    If you don't, reading more about the test and about specific monitors / TVs you're curious about will give you a better idea.

  • ASUS Scammed Us
  • Specifically motherboards or in general?
    I've heard a lot of good things about Asrock motherboards. And they're also about the only ones without some recent controversy (for AMD CPUs).

    In general, I can personally vouch for Noctua.
    They sent me a free mounting kit for my then 7 year old CPU cooler when I switched it over to a new PC. I've had it for 12 years now.

    Edit: Never mind, looks like also Asrock aren't too great.

  • ASUS Scammed Us

    > This undercover warranty investigation is a one-year follow-up from our series that investigated ASUS for motherboards incinerating AMD CPUs, at the end of which ASUS promised a number of improvements to its then-anti-consumer warranty processes. Spoiler alert: They're still anti-consumer. We sent our ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme in for warranty repair for issues with the left joystick ("drift"). The device also had a broken microSD card. ASUS then pointed to the world's tiniest scratch and tried to charge us $200 for it under threat of sending back a disassembled device if we didn't pay within 5 days. It felt like extortion. If you're wondering whether ASUS is worth buying, the answer for anyone who values support should be "no."

    > We have now tested ASUS' motherboard and ROG Ally warranty and RMA processes. Both have been anti-consumer experiences.
