The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijackingšŸ”« thread🧵 ⁉

Holy, this made me realize I never even consider what I’d find a best mouse? If my mouse doesn’t feel like mouse, my mind just tells me no. Like with a spoon. It just feels right or not, and then I use it till it’s absolutely dead, worn and torn. Speed or ingenuity really doesn’t matter? It’s gotta be a mouse that just feels right mostly, lol

Spoon to big? Too much spoon. To bendy, wrong spoon.
Mouse doesn’t feel like mouse? Bad mouse. I’d almost want my mouse to have the ball back so that I can play with it during series binging. :pinched_fingers:t2:

Windows people! I noticed that M$ recommends my display be scaled to 250% on this Windows 11 Dell laptop–is this typical of Windows these day?

2 Likes

It’s typically because the screen has a decent resolution but physically it’s smaller than say a typical desktop monitor.. so 100% scaling makes icons and everything (icons, text, etc.) very physically small on the screen. I’m pretty sure the same is true of like a 27" 4k screen where gaming and 4k movies look awesome, but the win gui needs some.. inflation.

Sure but I am curious as to how common it is (mostly in our little community) as it has pretty large implications on things like app and web design.

Pretty sure my framework 17 has some scaling on.. like 175% at the very least. I’ll double check next time I pop it open.

im looking at it for my next laptop (mine is falling apart …)
How do you like it? is it your daily driver?

I do like it.. I don’t drive a laptop daily.. more like once a month at best.. but when I do use it, I like it. Even though I’m a PC loyalist, I used a MacBook Air for the longest time as a travel computing device, and I got used to the battery life.. now every Windows laptop feels like it’s on the verge of dying even with 100% battery.

I’m also biased because we are working on an NFC reader module that can slot into one (or both) of the spacers beside the keyboard;

The prototype readers I have in my FW17 still need firmware tweaks to maximize performance, so to use them at all with my implants I need RSP stickers on both.. but they do work.

No ETA on release.. currently looking for a firmware tweaking expert for the PN7462 NFC chip.

I travel a lot and got tired of not having everything i wanted on the go, so i have been 100% laptop for a while now.
The repairability and flexibility is a plus for me (ive been through too many cases over the years).

the side panel is an awesome idea, might even convince me to not use the numpad …
didnt realized they had a 17ā€, does it have more than the 2 spacers?

they don’t. i’m a dumbass. it’s a framework 16.

nope just the two, one on either side of the keyboard

thanks, i like my numpad, and i really like their macrop pad … but they take both spacer spaces

have you thought about combining the macropad with your reader pad?
could have a reader functionality with custom macros when certain cards are read … or different macros when you press a button on the module and read the tag :thinking:

Interesting concept for sure. I think step one is just getting a functional reader though. After that’s wildly successful and we have tons of money, release a version two with macros included :slight_smile:

It’s been typical since Winbugs 10… But I think that Satya Nadella is going blind because they increased the default size of everything with Win 11. I prefer to keep the UI small TBH.

Got the Chakram Core out to test:

Not bad… And I absolutely love the shape! If only they made a lightweight wireless version with a multi-device dongle. This mouse was a freebie and I would’ve bought the wireless version instead. However, I don’t see a reason to buy it now as I got used to lighter mouses and don’t want to wase USB ports to get the 1kHz polling rate.

And I gave the Razer IntelliMouse clone another try. I know that the DAv3HS is smaller than the original Microsoft one so thing might be different with the real thing, but this one makes my hand hurt. Razer does make a larger one, but it uses a high speed dongle that’s big and requires a USB cable. So it’s unwieldy for use with a laptop.

I managed to get the Razer stuff to behave a little better now that I updated the firmware on my access points. Which is nice because I don’t want to spend money to replace perfectly good hardware because some company can’t develop firmware.

On a side note, I’m kinda sad that most mouses nowadays are either a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of the Microsoft IntelliMouse, or a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of the Logitech Superlight… A bunch of chinise companies gained traction by doing this, and everyone appears to be doing the same now. But I don’t see the point in buying something with no originality and with no artistry.

well … after a LOT of testing, head hake and hair pulling, i learned that the RP15 ā€œcanā€ do ODSP if and only if it is purchased for and unlocked in the firmware at the factory … thanks HID …

If this will be released I might get a framework laptop then.

Are there also plans for a Low Frequency RFID module?

No plans for an LF module.. what would it do?
