  • Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?

    Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.

    Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?

    Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I’m more of a mouse or gyro control guy.

    Trackpad rules in strategy games though.


  • I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?

    You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.

    does that require tilting the device?

    Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.

    For the more popular games there’s usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.









  • I have a Voron 2.4 right now, and had a Prusa MK3 before that.

    It remains to be seen what additional work the kit amounts to. The Prusa XL can be assembled within a few hours while the Prusa MK3 is a day project and the Voron is a multi day project, not even including the time needed to research the different Voron kits.

    Assuming it does not lack in features or quality, I think the price for the kit is fair since it includes the full Prusa support, next day shipping for replacement parts and it is made in the EU. The Voron with its flying gantry is dope, but I do sometimes miss being able to just write Prusa about an issue and get replacement parts under warranty in 2-3 days.






  • Is that actually an UPS or just a backup battery? Can it passthrough the line power directly or does the inverter need to run 24/7?

    In the latter case you might want to check how much power the inverter eats just by itself. For example, my Bluetti with 2 kWh needs a whopping 50W in idle just to keep the AC ports powered. Of course your unit looks much smaller so it should be way less but still worth measuring.

    The server runs Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers running a Docker Swarm cluster.

    There’s too many services running so I’m not listing them all. Let’s just say my phone is not going to be thrilled if it goes down. Also, this post was posted through said server.
