That square monitor is fucking sick

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I literally just got it today. I have been wanting it for so long. I got it for $430 at newegg without the fancy base that it normally comes with. It's totally worth it at that price.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What is it though? I don't know enough of the things in your parts list to single it out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There’s literally only two monitors listed under the monitor section.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I went back to check because I didn't recall seeing sections, but it just formatted it weirdly on my phone and the headers are displayed as part of the previous bullet.

Edit: screenie. I also have found any kind of nice formatting doesn't work when making my own posts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seems to be a weird implementation of markdown. Lemme fix it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That worked. Also after seeing the photo again, thank you for putting the tower on a plank instead of carpet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Glad it worked! I had to add an extra line break.

Oh for sure. Especially on a case like the torrent where the bottom intake is used for GPU cooling instead of just cooling a PSU, it's extra important to keep it clear underneath.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It's the LG DualUp

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

£600 in the UK. Looks fantastic though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Awesome setup, especially that square monitor!!!

Also, what's up with all that tape?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Having a collection of every kind of tape is so useful. Having it at the ready, even more. I've had countless home projects made so much faster and easier with that wall of tape.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

that plank under your case is such a Russians used a pencil moment for me. I 3d printed taller feet for my case 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What's the red and black knobby thing in the middle and the black and blue knobby thing to the left? What do the knobs adjust?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

The thing in the middle is the Focusrite audio interface and the thing on the left is an analog audio mixer. The knobs on both let you adjust audio levels for different devices.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

What do you do on that right monitor?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

can I ask how well the Focusrite works on Linux? beautiful setup by the way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have one, it simply just works but I haven't tinkered around much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Apologies for the unsolicited quiz, but you may have some answers to questions I've been wondering about recently:

Have you used it much for audio production? (perhaps with bitwig?) are there any noticeable issues with the latency or buffering? What sampling rate do you use it at? Do you have access to the optical I/O and everything? I'm assuming you don't get the focusrite control software (and therefore the remote control features)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Full support has been patched into the kernel for a couple years now, and Focusrite seems to be pretty friendly to Linux compared to other manufacturers.

No noticeable lag or buffering that I've found. I've played around with a few DAWs, but I don't need them for my workflow, so I haven't spent a ton of time with them, and I'm no audio engineer.

The Focusrite control software doesn't work, but you can get remote control capabilities lots of other ways on Linux such as with remote Pulse Audio or Pipewire control, or simply using SSH.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Ah yeah of course, the fact I could use pipewire for the remote aspect completely slipped my mind.

That's pretty great news then—next time I get a free weekend, I'll be giving it a go.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Basic stuff works but I haven't tried anything more than plugging in headphones and a mic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You gotta respect any motherfucker that has their tape organized. That's beast mode.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

haha thanks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

BG3, Nobara, a Focusrite 2i2, and Flutter? My maaaaaaan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Now that is a very approved Battlestation 👌

What is that mouse ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

it's a trackball I recon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It's a P.I. Engineering L-Trac

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Dualup gang represent!

[–] MajorHavoc 2 points 9 months ago

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

DualUp!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is the right monitor showing both the tube thingy and it's code?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

The code shown is a Rust implementation of Tetris that I worked on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How do you like that mouse? Have the mx ergo snd im thinking of getting one similar to yours (trackball in the center) in the future

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So what I have is just a trackball, no mouse. I'm a big fan of this one in particular, but there's a lot of shapes and sizes of trackballs and of hands, so I'd recommend you do some homework to find one that might best suit you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I thought they were still considered a trackball mouse? Whats that one called? Im looking for one that is comfortable with my big hands and charges with usb C

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I would consider a mouse to have a sensor on the bottom, and be a device that you move around your desk. There are lots of mice that also have trackballs on them. This is just a block that you plant down that has a trackball on the top.

P.I. Engineering L-Trac

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Oh then yeah i guess mine isnt a mouse.

Is it easy to take the tracball out to clean it and the insides of where its in? A couple months of using mine I have to take out the ball and clean it but i can literally just push it out with a pencil so its really convenient
