Maybe if I could test it, but I don't use my keyboard enough to deal with it.

Just the right amount of clicky for me. Probably would be way to loud for the bedroom though.


Yep, consideration for others is the only reason I can't get Blue switches. PC is in the bedroom. I also host conference calls for work and take a lot of notes in the process, and I imagine the clickity clack would irritate the shite out of everyone on the call.

I do see that there's a Brown switch version of that G710 keyboard though. Looks like the perfect solution, actually. the G910 just has too much "look at me I'm a gamer" aesthetics. The upcoming G810 looks better but is just a basic design in which case I might as well get a Das or Ducky.

It's going to be no new keyboard for me until Logitech fixes their Arx app. Apparently it hasn't worked for Android for months because it is not compatible with the most recent version of AndroidSystemWebView.

Anyone getting the Division on PC?

NOPE
PC version neutered to be "fair" to consoles
Ubisoft has tried to distance themselves from the information in that article, but I wouldn't touch the game with a 10 ft pole until we see it first hand.

Then again, that should be said about every pc game. THOU SHALT NOT PRE-ORDER.

I had the 2010-2011 Blackwidow Ultimate from Razer for about 3 years when it came out.. but 3-4 keys stopped working for me. I liked it while it worked.

I picked up a Corsair K70 RGB. It has the cherry switches that Corsair uses and I really like it. It's not near as loud as my Blackwidow was.

The only downside to this keyboard ist he software you use for it.. kind of buggy and confusing to use.

Granted, I only have the keys glowing purple - then turning gold when I hit a key that lasts about 3 seconds.. so nothing too complicated.

Yes. If you're smart that is all you need.

Is there a DazLoader version out there which does Win10 Pro 64bit?

v2.2.2 with limitations.
legacy boot with a MBR formatted drive. no support for UEFI+GPT.

KMSpico 10.1.9 works regardless and activates office. downside is its not a one time load - it basically turns your version of windows or office into a VL edition and creates a script to re-run whenever required. Make sure to give it a firewall/av/malware exception for it.

When I installed Windows 8.1 back in 2014, I used the auto-KMS version. It all happens behind the scenes, and I've not even looked into when it occurs/has occurred. I'm curious, since using the "free" Windows 10 upgrade, if the auto-KMS that came with the Win 8.1 installation still activates. And if it does, I wonder if it's still necessary.

Well I use it for bootcamp on my Macbook but that's about it. Everything outside of that is UEFI+GPT.

Does it run during startup? Any resources re used after it runs?

Thats a good question. Since the W10 upgrade creates a unique digital entitlement, you shouldnt need an activation past that, unless you make a significant change to your board or cpu. In theory you should be able to delete it after upgrade and successful activation, but I've never tested that.

I find it to be torture compared to any Linux installation.

14% seems a little crazy, no?

Seagate being sued due to failure rates

The problem with suing, though, is that BackBlaze based their data on the failure rates of consumer drives in a data center environment. While the other brands fared better, Seagate may be able to argue the drives were subjected to unintended extreme usage.

EDIT: Not to mention the flimsy allegations to begin with. It doesn't say Seagate never upheld the terms of their warranty. I also recall no Seagate advertisement (or any hard drive ad) ever citing a failure rate. I have no doubt Seagate has tons of in-house data supporting their rated MTBF, so the BackBlaze data will be competing against that.

I do think Seagate drives can be a little wonkier than others (and I know that specific models had identified issues), but I hope this case is dismissed.
