I have SMRT R1, base + numpad, got the LED kit from R2, is GG vs GTD going to be very noticeable? also got the 10u BBI, thank you

There's photos above with the two colors side by side, and next to a vintage 1984 Wyse mod key. I don't think it's super noticeable, but they are different. I took photos of them in a sunny window, and on a table across the room from the window on a cloudy day. I personally think they're as close as two different colors from SP can get, but your mileage may vary.

I can't answer about the Flex sets. I haven't worked with SP on them since the original round, and I don't know if another round will happen or not. I'm guessing there won't be one - the original run was partly to keep busy during a slow period, but they're busier than ever now with designer runs.

Arcade

A hit of nostalgia


Show Image


Introduction

Kia ora and a warm welcome to the Group Buy Thread for GMK Arcade!

When I got the green light from GMK to run this set, I was beyond excited. Having grown up playing video games and spending time in arcades, this project gave me the perfect chance to reimagine those classics in a fresh way. GMK Arcade is a nod off to a classic theme, revamped with vibrant colours and filled with references to iconic games, all aimed at capturing that nostalgic arcade atmosphere.

A huge thank you to Stellaidoscope, Nonumbers, and MikeyDigit for their incredible hard work and support. This project wouldn’t have been possible without them ❤️

There are several outright confabulations.

If that's the quality of intelligence people receive, then their perspective on the world is thoroughly irrelevant.


"There is very little doubt in my opinion that Putin in his recent conversation with Trump cashed in every marker he had against Trump. Almost immediately Trump stopped intelligence sharing, had Musk throttle Star Link and is now blocking delivery of arms which have already been paid for by Europe and Ukraine. The net effect is to ally the U.S. completely with Russia against Ukraine.

Putin doesn't need markers, they're winning hands down.
We didn't stop intelligence sharing, and star link still works,
We did stop arms , but only because we ran out, we've RAN OUT for over a year.


The one day supply of diesel that we are supposedly being sold by Russia, is just a fig leaf for this, as is claiming that Ukraine is responsible for high U.S. diesel prices. It’s all a cover for a last ditch effort by Russia to handicap Ukraine which has been successfully on the offensive in the occupied territories. Russia has been experiencing logistical and tactical collapse on several fronts and was potentially verging on losing the war.

Rvss exports very little, if any diesel because it's been their planting season, all exports are restricted for their own tractor use.

vkrin already lost the war, for over 1.5 years now. Check the eric scmit interview stanford

Logistical, RVS is nearing 7 million (7,000,000) shells now annually.  Meanwhile, we payed $500million to rateon which failed to produce a single shells after 3 years outside of texas.

US capacity about 50-100,000 annually, they SAY, 300,000 yearly (unconfirmed), EU capacity about 200-300,000 annually.

Let's not even bring up Jina, cuz their estimated surge capacity (fullmobile) on shells is 100,000,000 annually.
 

That is why Putin called in his markers on Trump. And it has been amazingly successful. The short and long term interests of the U.S., not to mention our allies are not remotely served by aligning ourselves with Russia. The only question now is whether or not the Republican Congress and Senate will go along with this. One can only hope that outright betrayal of the U.S. is a bridge too far for even them." 

We already lost the whole damn thing,  all this is merely spin as to how badly, and why we're losing,  we've already lost in the context of "conventional exchange".

It's important to remember, GDP =/= SHELLS.   CARBON = SHELLS
 
You can't simply turn $money into Shells, it doesn't work like that. Our most recent attempt is proof.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT CARBON OUTPUT.

Most of these monitor companies arn't even trying anymore.

The baseline LCDs are decent, but the idea of improving performance in terms of motion clarity has stalled.

You need a stronger backlit plane, tune-able strobe, and robust dimming algo.

It takes too big a processor to drive those 3 things together all at once, where simply switching to OLED is cheaper and more profitable.


So, LCD monitors are stuck in an uncomfortable spot. It just can't compete with Oled motion clarity and general image quality given the price brackets.

TCL tried really hard, and they have easily the best mini led LCD monitor,  but no one bought it, because they can buy an oled instead for the price.


It's really unfortunate, because LCD does still have advantages when done properly.  1000nit Full field luminance, virtually no burnin if you play games.


Inkjet printed oled from TCL is slated for 2027, they have the design done on their 1080p 700hz model which may come in a 32 inch.  That would be quite nice.

Pretty much no one else has the margin to push the tech stack much further.

700hz is extremely formidable, but Tp4 thinks, it's not ambitious enough. Since they're going to drive the 80gbps range,  why not 1080p @ 1352hz, if you're gonna DSC it, why not crank it.


Contrary to normative discussions,  the way VRR works today with Quick Frame transport. 

Even if you ran only 500fps,  the 1352hz monitor will refresh each of the 500 frames FASTER in 1352th of a second vs 700th of a second on a 700hz monitor.    This makes a big difference in fluidity and DOES net an improvement on motion clarity.

Reviewing various discussions about casino entertainment, I became curious about the security standards that online gambling platforms should follow. During this exploration, I found a reference to Woodbine Casino and decided to examine the broader questions surrounding website reliability. My attention was focused on operator identification, account protection, and the availability of clearly explained gambling rules. I also wanted to understand how users can recognize misleading promotional statements or unrealistic promises of guaranteed winnings. Responsible gambling measures, including spending limits and account restrictions, are important considerations when evaluating such services. Before trusting an unfamiliar website, I prefer checking independent information and confirming whether its activities are permitted in the relevant jurisdiction.
