[03:31] Enough is enoug .. Gnite. [06:35] good morning, all [09:36] \o [09:36] * daftykins flips around the other side of the clock === JanC is now known as Guest34809 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [09:58] hi daftykins, any plans for today? [09:59] mmm domestic chores i think, i also have a new Dell XPS13 9350 to reinstall for a client, but the next windows 10 build comes out on the 2nd of August so not much point doing it now other than for fun ;) [09:59] how about yourself? [10:00] not really, i'm trying to find someone who sells keyboards with mechanical cherry switches in international layouts - not easy :-( [10:01] ooh, which layout do you require? i just ordered one recently as my das keyboard has been irritating me with dropping some vowel presses [10:01] but i'm simple and only want a UK layout [10:01] i'd _love_ a das keyboard, but i'm so used to norwegian layout. [10:02] i had the blank one :) [10:02] i _ca_ handle us, but... [10:02] _can_ [10:02] ah US is evil, they put the |\ above enter - and have that nasty single row enter [10:03] yes, but i've owned a lot of old unix workstations with us layout, so it's in muscle memory like the norwegian layout. [10:04] aww, corrupted! [10:04] >:) [10:05] i bought a razer black widow a while back, since that was available in my layout and the switches are nice, but a couple of keys hang a little. they tend to send two keys on one press. [10:05] * ducasse wants his NeXTStation back [10:05] ouch that'd be as annoying as my das dropping the 'o' [10:06] the razer cost a fortune, and i only bought it a year ago. needless to say i'm not getting another. [10:07] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01F1VKG8S/ i have this on order right now [10:08] ah, steelseries use cherry? that could be an option - i've seen those here. thanks :) [10:08] have you tried them? [10:08] yep cherry red in there [10:09] i've only had blue on my das, so i'm not sure how it'll be - more of a 'gaming' choice allegedly [10:10] hmm. yes, i was hoping for blue, but maybe they have that as well. the razer is also a gaming keyboard, but just fine except for the hanging keys thing. [10:10] sadly not in that model, mmm [10:10] last time i bought my das many years ago it was from www.getdigital.de - you could have a browse there :) [10:11] i'm sure they'd sell a US layout das with blue, which could be one choice [10:12] yes, us layout is my fallback. but as you say it's evil :) [10:12] :D [10:14] uk layout could also be interesting, though, i didn't think of that first. [10:16] run with the cool kids! *whistle* - no bias whatsoever [10:16] which model das keyboard do you have? [10:19] it says "DASK3" on the back and was an ultimate, so blank - probably 7+ years old [10:19] quite a long time but i still feel they should last longer [10:20] +1. these switches can handle >50m keystrokes. [10:21] the keys it drops changes per day, so i think it's the controller board - but it's nothing i can do anything about, it seems [10:21] i'm looking at the 4 pro and the model s pro, the 4 pro has two usb 3.0 ports, which could be nice, i guess. [10:22] not that i _need_ two 3.0 ports when my desktop is ~30cm away :) [10:22] i could've always done without the hub :> i used to have power up issues until they shipped me a free USB 'Y' cable [10:23] when i think about it, i think my keyboard came with 1 year warranty... [10:24] these also look nice - http://codekeyboards.com/ [10:25] in swedish layout, that's pretty close. [10:26] :> [10:28] the only difference is the øæå keys, the swedes use öäå instead. minor difference, really. i could live with that :) [10:33] the xps13 is a terrible thing to waste on windows 10, btw ;) [10:34] it's not, since no Linux can run properly on it without Dell PPAs [10:34] urgh :-( [10:34] and all Linux distros on nice laptops trash the battery life. [10:34] 2~, [10:34] , [10:34] ,, [10:34] ,,, [10:34] ~~~ [10:34] oops sorry, keyboard clean [10:35] :) [10:39] i'm having to get by on a membrane Dell cheapy for now :( [10:39] laptops and linux don't play well together, it's sad. probably hard to fix. [10:40] yeah, you need the 4.6 kernel i think for skylake to be happy, too - and certainly no ubuntu has that out of the box [10:41] no, i deliberately did not buy skylake when i bought a new desktop last summer, didn't feel like being a guinea pig. [10:42] that's a very sad reflection on Linux when you feel the need to avoid the bleeding edge [10:42] yup, i just wanted something that worked. still, i'm perfectly happy with the machine :) [10:44] aaah glorious clean desk \o/ [10:45] yay! \o/ [10:47] i treated myself recently with the replacement of my core 2 quad Q6600 desktop, now running a skylake i7-6700, 32GB DDR4, NVMe M.2 SSD and just recently an nvidia GTX 1070 8GB graphics card to cap it off [10:48] oooh, nice :) mine's just 4790k, 32g ddr3 and 2x samsung 850 evo sata.. [10:50] ^_^ probably very little between them [10:50] the 6700 wasn't out when i bought mine, so i got the best single-core performance i could, which was the 4790k. it's plenty fast for me. [10:52] i don't have a discrete gpu, though, so your graphics performance just *might* be a teeeny bit better. [10:52] :-P [10:52] ^_^ [10:53] that reminds me, now there are 1,920 cores there i was going to install folding@home to see just how impressively quick it handles some GPU compute jobs now [10:55] nvidia has linux sw for video encoding, don't they? [10:55] not sure [10:55] think i saw that mentioned somewhere. [11:03] the name nvenc rings a bell but i don't know what platforms it's on [11:04] that's one thing i'd like a decent gpu for, as it would probably be a lot faster than using the cpu. sw support is a problem, though. [11:17] i'm waiting for some software to catch up as it is, as my video player of choice doesn't know my card can do hardware decode of everything now :D [11:17] got some high bitrate HEVC samples here [11:18] which player are you using? [11:19] MPC-HC [11:20] mmm vacuuming in a warm house, eek [11:43] not fun, i did all the domestic stuff yesterday so today i'll just refuse to do all the other stuff i should have done long ago. [11:43] :D [11:44] i'm an idjit, btw, didn't consider just getting a nice keyboard with us layout and replace the keycaps... [12:02] daftykins: /me found! wasdkeyboards.com has mechanical keyboards, any kind of cherry switch, 105-key, any layout you want :) they can even get me one with tux on the windows keys :) [12:02] *happy dance* [12:03] *super keys ;) [12:03] whatever, i just think of it as mod4 ;) [12:05] platform agnostic \o/ [12:10] this was so much easier than i thought i'm actually a bit sceptical ;) need to check a couple of reviews, see what the build quality is like... [12:17] seems to be US, so shipping might not be fun? [12:20] should be fine, i think. had some stuff shipped from the us around easter, took less than a week via normal airmail.
