Review of the Wacom CTL-472 (One by Wacom)

    Yes, they are. I also read somewhere that you can get nibs for this pen really cheap on Aliexpress but I haven't found them there yet.

    Being able to run 7B quality models on your phone would be wild. It would also make it possible to run those models on my server (which is just a mini pc), so I could connect it to my Home Assistant voice assistant, which would be really cool.

  • A while ago I made [this post](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/20728482) where I asked for recommendations for a new drawing tablet and I decided to get the Wacom CTL-472, so here's a short review of it. Overall I really like this tablet and it was definitely an upgrade over the Veikk S640 that I had before. The pen is really light and I like that it gets wider towards the bottom, which makes it so it doesn't keep slipping while I'm playing. I also like how dragging the pen on the tablet feels. There's some resistance, which I find makes it easier to control my aim but the downside of that is that the pen nib wears down really fast, which is the only downside this tablet has, in my opinion. The build quality is also good and there's no hardware smoothing. I'd definitely recommend this tablet, it's already considered one of the best, if not the best, osu! tablet you can get.

    I wanted to use it a bit before I make an update but then I forgot about it 😅

    I think I'll make a seperate post about it and I'll reply to this comment again with the link but I just started work, so I don't have time right now.

  • Xiaomi will reportedly end its global bootloader unlock program
  • Fisch Fisch 2w ago 100%

    The way it works is that you need a proprietary app (in the past it was on PC and you had to connect the phone over USB, now it's an app on the phone) where you log in with the Xiaomi Account that is also logged in on your phone. Then you "request" a bootloader unlock and after a week or so you can do the same thing again and it unlocks the bootloader. My guess would be that it uses encryption on the phone in some way and the server sends the decryption key. I also just thought that the process is so tedious that someone should have come up with a way to circumvent it already but maybe no one wanted to invest the time since it was possible that way. Either way, I don't have experience with this kind of thing, so I'm not really the person to figure it out.

    Based on how much HyperOS (and the fucking name) sucks, I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader. I really hope someone does soon because I really don't want my dad to continue getting tortured by having to use it.

    But real talk, I'm actually scared of the consequences of climate change that I'm going to see in my lifetime. I lost all hope that we'll ever become carbon neutral under capitalism, it's already being used as nothing more than a marketing term by companies.

    Aren't walmart employees also required to stand all day? Kinda insane to me that they're not allowed to just sit down

    So that's why unlocking the bootloader on my dad's phone doesn't work. This really sucks, I hope there's some other way to do it because HyperOS is straight ass.

    That looks really awesome. Would be interesting to know the performance impact of this in comparison to the traditional approach and whether that impact makes it worth it to use it in any type of game or just in games where the ocean is a central part.

    I use my phone without a case too, phones don't break that easily. I even dropped it on stone tiles once when I missed my pocket and it only got a few scratches on the side from that.

    All the public Piped instances are getting blocked by YouTube but do small selfhosted instances, that are only used by a handful of users or just yourself, still working? Thinking of just selfhosting it. On a side note, if I do it, I'd also like to install the new EFY redesign or is that branch too far behind? Edit: As you can see in the replies, private instances still work. I also found the instructions for running the new EFY redesign [here](https://efy.ooo/#faq#piped_instance)

    I'm currently using a Veikk S640 but I'm thinking about upgrading to a better tablet. I only got that one because it was cheap and I didn't have a lot of money at that time. I obviously want one without hardware smoothing and my play area is rather small (I can tell you the exact size if it's important), so size shouldn't matter. Price isn't that important either. Do you have any recommendations? Edit: The tablet I decided on was the CTL-472. I just ordered it but I'll probably update this post or make a new one about how much of a difference it made compared to my current tablet.

    Just wanted to ask if you think it's a good idea to upgrade to a better tablet from the Veikk S640 and if you do, what tablet you'd recommend. I bought this tablet back when I was still in school because it was cheap but now I have a job and can afford a better one. My brother also lent it from me a few times, he'd probably be happy to have the Veikk, even if he mostly plays other rythm games.

    How to use the print screen key on a Keychron K6

    You need to hold down ```fn1``` + ```page up``` for a few seconds until the keyboard flashes red, then let go of the keys. Now you can use ```page up``` as the ```print screen``` key. If you hold down ```fn1``` + ```page up``` for a few seconds again, it will go back to working as the ```page up``` key. Just had to search this up and found out how to do this from a Reddit post, so I thought I'd put this information on here as well.

    I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I'm having an issue with my Sovol SV06, which is that I get a lot of stringing. I'm still fairly new to 3D printing, so I have no idea what could cause this and how I could go about fixing this. I already searched for this issue online btw but didn't really find anything helpful. The only change I made to this printer is that I hooked up a Raspberry Pi 4 to it and installed Klipper and Octoprint. I'm also using PrusaSlicer with the config from [here](https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware). Edit: Forgot to mention I was using PLA for this print
