« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 09 May 2024, 07:33:20 »To follow up, CT scans showed no major spreads, but then after another few weeks of waiting, my doctor had a consilium and they decided I need one more surgery. They want to go back to same area and get rid of all tissue around plus all lymph nodes, which there is like a huge network of.
So yeah, middle of June another operation and another few weeks of recovery if it goes well...
Wondering why they did not do that during first surgery, why introduce another risky time of 3 hours of surgery...
I just feel tired of all this...

Keyboards / Re: Is someone here, who quit the hobby and is only lurking now?
« Last post by phinix on Thu, 09 May 2024, 07:07:32 »I did not quit, but last year decided to reduce my collection, sold most of my keyboards and keycaps sets, left just 4 boards and maybe 7-8 sets of keycaps.
I simply felt overwelmed and kinda exhausted of constant chasing better keyboard.
I realised that biggest issue I've been having are stabilisers in all custom kits I had. After over 10 years of modding and building keyboards I ended up being unable to properly lube those ****ers... I dont know what I've been doing wrong but after some time every stab started to scratch again and I simply was too tired to do something with it. Such a simple thing put me off the entire hobby...
Anyway, I kept my favourite boards - Realforce r1 87u55 and CM Quickfire Rapid with MX Blacks. Those are for me personally immportal boards that will stay with me to the rest of my life. Other two are custom kits.
Stayed in our forum, of course mostly for chatting with tp
and keeping in touch with our community - 90% of the time stying in Off Topic, but always read all other bits and keeping myself up to date with everything keyboards related

« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 09 May 2024, 06:39:58 »What if the seal blocks the primary vent?
This is why I call B.S. on all of these unless built by the laptop manufacturer.
The seal is about the right size for most vents. But they make slightly smaller/ slightly bigger versions to accommodate different sized laptops. There's a nother brand (IETS) that has removable staged seals to make the opening slightly bigger/ smaller.
The 1 thing Tp4 is cautious about is that the seals are memory foam, and these don't hold up well to heat. Wonder how durable they are.
And of course, these coolers are ridiculously overpriced. $50 would imho be pushing it. $30 and it's a deal. $100, is crazy town.
It creates a pressurized chamber beneath the laptop compared to traditional fans. So the airflow is now unidirectional, and it also cools the whole board like where the ssd is.
In Tp4's g5, the ssd gets pretty hot 61*C, with the cooler going, it goes down to 44*C. CPU/GPU Minus 10*C each.

But they do allegedly work better than the traditional ones without a seal.

Sweeeet! :D
I use 48" OLED and for desktop use its too big. Would like to reduce to 42" OLED.
77" is definitely movie panel. It must be awesome watching movies on it, plus gaming. I love to play Witcher on mine :)
Now I uderstand how tp fell in love with Villanelle, seeing her on 77"... :-*

Last week I had a call from my doctor's secretary and she said that my doctor needs to move my follow-up appointment from April to this Tuesday.
I thought, ok, time slot released, so he wants to see me earlier. No worries.
So I went there today and he told me that unfortunately lab results showed its is malignant. So now I'm waiting for appointments to do MRI scans to see if there is any spread.
If there's nothing, then we would do tests every 6-12 months or so to make sure nothing shows up. But if there is something elsewhere, then we gonna start radio, chemo and other voodoo **** to kill whatever is left.
And I just booked holidays for this April and June. **** me...
Week ago I started to watch After Life - really nice show I wanted to watch for a long time. Now I feel like I'm part of it...
