The day prior, a lone special agent Mosquito infiltrated the Tp4 command center.

He has eluded capture all through the evening.

This morning, Agent mosquito was overzealous, hungry to steal breakfast. Despite already carrying an undigested load of dinner in its sack.
 
Hubris was the Agent's downfall.  Clearly flying slow in a semi-sleepy approach vector, against the ccfl lite walls, his cover was blown. Tp4 exacted his vengeance @ exactly 6:34 am.


Anecdotally, a professional driver in china taught Tp4 that, you should never drive on a full stomach, at most eat Half of capacity, otherwise the risk of sleepiness/alertness loss becomes hazardous on the highway.

It Takes Two is such a fantastic choice! The cooperative gameplay and creative puzzles make it perfect for couples. It's great to hear your girlfriend is enjoying it too! My partner and I love playing Overcooked together; it's chaotic but so much fun! What other games are you considering trying next?

So... It seems the projections were all correct.

Pricing is indeed too high.  $1050 for base model, no controller.

With that.

With controller and 2tb storage, it's $1500.

So, yea, you can easily build an AM5 9070xt pc which will be 4x as fast for the same amount of money.

The scaling just doesn't make sense.


Even with $1000, you can fit a used 7900xt or something in there + am4, which will only be 3x as fast.

The steam machine really shouldn't be released at all.


Also this news about them sending at random units with single 16gb sticks, and dual 8gb sticks.  That's not ok.


You have to "wonder" which version you'd get, it's either a $350 upgrade or a $175 upgrade. That's  unacceptable really.



In parts this is a $350-450 machine. It's got very old parts.

why did you choose to not match the colors with TA90 as announced in the IC?
I think the colors section was poorly worded.
Masje is colormatching to a TA G81-3011HAD, not the 2015 set. TA90 was also colormatched to a G81-3011HAD so the colors should be very similar.
Worth noting that TA90, while much better than the 2015 set, was a tiny bit off with it's grey (can see if you zoom in on the first pic here https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96387.msg2685960#msg2685960) so there is still some room for improvement.

Colors: Matched to original keycaps


You're using stock SP colors (chips shown) that are closest to the original keycap colors, right?

No, we will be using the original keycaps from the Dinokidz keyboard to ensure the colors match as closely as possible. Since colors can appear different under various lighting conditions, SP stock colors shown are for reference only.

Tp4 doesn't have C4, but warm 50 is close to 6500k, which is the standard.

You can go by eye on this, because your own eyes perceive color differently vs someone else.


If you look at a sheet of paper and compare your own 2 eyes, the color also changes.

tp, for PC windows (web browsing etc) - what do you set for white balance color temp - warm 50?
and for oled pixel brightness - I have 40.

For AMD card, I had to go and create custom resolution setting to have 144hz - is that right? As default it had 120Hz.

( I just updated my Windows to 11 and it messed up all my settings :( I have a feeling like fonts do not look so nice and sharp like they were on Windows 10)
