The first batch of pad printed keycaps was delivered today and they are gorgeous!  They look great in person, despite a very slight fuzziness in the ink that was noted before.  With the clear protective layer applied over the ink of each key, I'm hopeful that the ink outlasts the originals which had no protective layer.

These pad printed Model F / Model M keycaps were well worth the wait!

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 looked up some examples...
Seems it's not about simulating the horizontal beam drawing (mask point to mask point).
But rather the vertical persistence (part of the screen being black, image rolling top to bottom).

I can see how this would be enough to give you the CRT beam feel. Good idea...
Remembers me the rolling-scanlines filter I wrote in Avisynth/DShow back in the day.
Unfortunately I am still on 60Hz as there were no large (40" +) high refresh rate monitors when I got it.

Maybe time to upgrade...
Are there 40-45" high refresh rate, color accurate, 16:9 monitors, possibly with split-input/picture function?

Better to keep pressure (forces per unit area) smaller overall by two simple planar surfaces from a low friction material.

Okay, I guess that's something I could make myself for a test, without ordering any parts like the split-seats.
I got Teflon skates, and round stock material in Aluminum, V2A Stainless, and Mild-Steel.
Gonna report back with some pictures and impressions.
Thanks for your input! :)

Will there be vendors?

Yes! we're working on finalizing them this month

Like Tp4 said, not a big enough difference.

Especially considering AM5 support is to 2029, it will probably get Zen 7 CPU which will hit 7Ghz.

So the $420 base cost is preserved all the way to 7ghz, FROM 5.5ghz.

Whereas AM4 has no economical path.

$310

vs

$570

That's not verrrry different


The way I learned math, that is about half. 54% to be exact ....

If you want to count it that way, it's just socialized losses.

But the way capitalism works is exactly that at the end, as it fails to incorporate/ model for critical elements of the real world. .


If we didn't buy AI,  we'd have bought something else equally stupid and useless.

If I would be doing this then

I would probably start with simple smooth planar surfaces from a low friction material.

If it would not be enough I would probably add an air pump which would create an air cushion between the surfaces (one of the surfaces would have a grid of small holes and air would be pumped between the surfaces). Check whether it is acceptable despite possible noise, air flow disturbing hands.

If this would not be good enough then I may play with magnets whether some suitable arrangement can be created. Maybe an simulation to search through all the possible magnetic field arrangements.
