Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Dino Jungle - A dinosaur themed keycap set
« Last post by CaptainSterling on Wed, 03 June 2026, 17:34:38 »As someone who has was also afflicted by the dinosaur obsession as a child this is amazing and the ISO enter novelty is insane. Typing on this would absolutely have me feeling like a kid again. GLWIC, hope to see this again in the GB phase.
YO! Thank you so much. This is exactly the emotions I was hoping to see. Let's make it real!

Keyboards / Re: Three keys dead, how to fix?
« Last post by xyzzy42 on Wed, 03 June 2026, 16:58:36 »If one of the pins on the MCU was bad, then all the keys in the column/row of the bad pin wouldn't work.
So you should look up what row, column the three keys are on. If they are all on the same row or the same column, that's a sign of one of traces or controller being bad. If any other keys in the problem row/col work, then you know the MCU isn't bad and its pins are soldered fine. There would be no point in resoldering the controller in this case.
If a trace is broken, what will happen is that every key after the break will stop working. So a single break could take out the last three keys, and only the last three, in the row/col. That would be the most likely problem if they are in the same row/col, but other keys (before the break in the trace) in that row/col still work.
If the three keys are in different rows and columns, then it's probably the diodes that are bad (less likely) or not soldered properly (more likely).

Matte is not good for oled, especially qdoled, because it the blue pixel lightpipe which looks purplish in bright rooms..

chasing bad money with good.
How lucky we are to have a very stable genius at the helm.
He really is the chosen 1, he's saving the world by destroying the western economy.
You couldn't achieve this with the highest financial jurisprudence. The greatest climate activist of all of Human History.

« Last post by TheSoulhunter on Wed, 03 June 2026, 14:16:58 »Started Baldur's Gate enhanced edition - brings me back when it was released, hundreds of hours played.
Apparently they are remastering it! Both, 1 and 2. That would be awesome.
I feel that...
For me it was Diablo 2 (the last good Diablo imo).
I plan to get Path of Exile 2 as soon as it's finished (early-access atm).
It seems to be the spiritual successor of old-school Diablo from what I have seen.
And yeah, I would definitely also get a remaster of Balduars Gate 1+2 if it happens.

If you want something like that, you'll have to go to the $500 sale range, 165hz 4K OLED from MSI or Asus, usually Newegg.
Tp4 however recommends the new iterated dark film covered QD oled models. They're all using the same samsung dark film panels, but call it dark armor, etc, etc.
4K 240hz is great, will be in the $600-800 range, 4K 360hz is incoming, probably $1000+.
Up to 1k is fine as I probably gonna keep it for a decade...
Another requirements I forgot: It has to be a non glossy (matte) screen.
