yes, absolutely, though I’ve seen it much more amongst other end users.

As I’ve mentioned, games will load your system differently from one another. Someone who claims their system is stable with their custom tunings in every game except for something new that they’ve recently installed does not have a stable system. this is a case my colleagues and I see over and over.

Extensively, across various compute and graphics generations. I presently do so even now, though I wouldn’t offer that to a user completely unfamiliar with the domain as some kind of silver bullet; it doesn’t sidestep package power limits.

I work in client gfx at an IHV; I am intimately familiar with system integrity routines, component stress testing and tuning, particularly with DIY systems. Nothing about what I’ve recommended is “a waste of time and electricity” when you’re privy to the breath of defects averted in the field after following proper guidance.

Don’t take your own experiences for granted, if this person was familiar with the concept, they wouldn’t need to ask.

that’s not how stress testing works. Different games will present different load to a given combination of hardware. Besides that, computers are used for many more tasks in addition to gaming. Careless re-tuning can lead to a lapse in system integrity in ways that aren’t immediately apparent, but damaging all the same.

undervolting is all well and good but warrants component stress testing versus regular PL targets.

may help to know your device models, but power limiting is generally what you’re after. Your hardware may determine the methods used.

I still truly love that in 2015, Microsoft called their assistant cortana, just as 343 painted her character as the antagonist.

It’s almost poetic.

haha it’s pretty cute. some people make keychains from die packages like this.

When I saw the display corruption in your video, I was worried that your board met the same fate. In my case, I was able to oven bake the board (with as much removed from the PCB as possible) to temporarily resolder the faulty BGA connections and get my data off the system. I’m kind of amazed that a deep clean and repaste resolved that on your end, but glad to see it.

hah nice!

mine lives on my desk due to BGA failures 😓

Hey, no problem.

Yes - the depicted side buttons channel into just one of the rear-side pinouts, and even then I think each side can support many more than just two inputs. I believe there are a few examples on the site and repository, but they still need to be built out some more.

I’d recommend reaching out to the designer directly. He’s pretty active in his discord server, though if you’d prefer not to use discord I’d be happy to ask on your behalf if you have a concise idea of what you’d like to do.

This looks really nice. Thanks for sharing

That’s not weird at all 😊 and yeah it only started shipping a couple months ago.

You should be able to achieve any number of input combinations with the breakout boards. The designer sent me loads of extras and I should really put them to use 😅

Hell, I’m planning on using the same base board to make a wireless macro pad later on. Unfortunately the community is on discord but you can hop in and see what other people have been making.

Check out the moddo mouse if you want a wireless, modular, open source gaming mouse, so long as you’re either comfortable with ultra lightweight fingertip style shells or 3D printing your own

I also have a ploopy mouse but I really dislike the scroll wheel design. I need to fix that somehow

tyty 🥰

it’s great to see Alexander right in the phoronix comments for that article! 😅

top lad. brave guy

thanks!

real personal computer station 3!

oh right 😅

the Playstation 3 emulator project RPCS3. I’m not sure what the initialism stands for but it’s an impressive feat in and of itself.

Little Big Planet! (presumably)

well that’s enough internet for today
