Am I wasting my money?

I'm looking forward to seeing the space in person if I can get a Whale LAN ticket. The unreal renders look pretty great for a mock up.

Wow I don't think I appreciated the power of scripts before seeing that part of the LTT Autobench seems to have been run using Windows Powershell. I really feel like that learning about scripting is something that I really didn't learn in Uni but seems really powerful. Though kind of suprised they are just using powershell and not the Windows Terminal which allows for tabs.

I like how LTT is doing there own testing it creates more good quality testing but good for cross refrence with alot.

Also I feel like audio wise LTT is going to make it easier to make sense for common people.

Test automation is a nice rabbit hole at a lot of times. There is many levels to automation, and how far one should go is partly debatable.

 

Sometimes an all manual process is fastest. Usually if a lot of nuance and subtle finess is needed, and/or if one will handle little volume.

Sometimes making test jiggs is a good step forward, this is often useful if one will handle a bit of volume with little unit to unit alterations.

And sometimes going further in automation is required to keep up with volume.

 

But the main things holding one back is differences between units.

The keyboard tester is an adequate level of automation for the task, and some image recognition to quicken setup is also nice. Especially as the goal is to test a lot of keyboards. (hopefully a couple of units of each, since single samples don't say anything about a product.)

 

Though, I guess only time will tell how things develop in the test lab.

Personally I think it feels a bit off, but I lack the full picture so can't judge. (and everyone does things differently.)

Do we know how the ltt labs website will work? Two things I would want is compare system similar to userbenchmark, as well as a pcpartpicker replacement.

Suggestion: Have a LTT Labs Certification program and if it meets your standards, have a "Seal of Quality" emblem with a vector of a Marine Mammal that barks.

Not sure if you are joking or not, but Anthony's never been a Software Engineer he worked at Best Buy in GeekSquad before writing for LTT. I think Alex might have been their first hire who actually has an engineering uni degree.

Anthony and Jake though did a lot of IT for LTT, and Floatplane I believe has software engineers.

PCpartpicker is for the most part great. There is zero value in them investing effort into duplicating resources that are already out there just for the sake of having one with an LTT logo on it. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Uh...so how are you planning on running whatever million keystrokes worth of repeatability testing?  And why are you reconfirming that ABS sucks for wear compared to PBT doubleshot?

 

These guys are going to crank out worthless tests to "make work" for themselves until eternity and they need steering from some form of management that isn't retarded.  Fuck's sake how many hours did that guy bill for the key latency thing when rtings already has data showing it's negligible for keyboards?

Name suggestion for the

Keyboard wear/tear tester: The CLICKERTRON.

Keyboard Input delay tester: Click-slammer

Keyboard force tester: LUKE use the Click [pun on Luke use the force]

-------

Will you guys "re"-test unique design "ergonomic" keyboards,

Like the ZSA moonlander, ergodox, kinesis advantage, or something like the X-bows keyboards [Lite, nature, Knight Knight+].

 

You also have the community made/designed custom keyboards.

https://github.com/help-14/mechanical-keyboard

 

----

If you go down the rabbit hole for even switches or other mods

[un-lubed, factory lubed, DIY lube-job, ain't enough lube yet [pumping switches full of lube to the point they overflow], and finally professionally lubed switches], then you need a additional "custom" boards just to test various switches, in various states. 

 

then there are switch/board upgrades will change the feel and typing experience

Like easy mods [on hot-swappable keyboards]

-phoron/foam/plastic pads below the switches.

-switch film [to decrease box wobble]

-spring mod [like changing keys you hit by accident to 150 gram heavy switches]

-stabilizer mods [swapping the stabilizers]

-keycaps [changing type of keycap, artisan, transparent, half transparent, and so on]

to even the more extreme from

-tape mods

- foam mod [foam below the keyboard]

to even full switch mods [which opens a even deeper rabbit hole]

 

example: 

-Boxes from a cherry blue switch

-stems from a gateron blue box switch

-click jacked from a outemu blue switch

- super light springs that can barely lift the keycap [20gram]

just to make a franken-switch, that only a select group would buy/create.  

----

----

For keyboard Wear tests, maybe also check out if its possible test to see if something like

Aluminum keycaps

Https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002982697401.html?

Https://aliexpress.com/item/32879768821.html?

Ceramic keyboard/keycaps

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cerakey/cerakey-the-first-keyboard-that-made-of-ceramic

Even various alternative keycaps. from cheap replacements to expensive "premium" keycaps

can wear out to the point they are no longer usable.

Regarding the bass with noise cancelling headphones, You have to take into account some headphones like the ones from Sony, Have a extra bass feature, When you turn that on, You will get more bass in the headphones, And you can even adjust the level of bass using the app that supports those headphones.

@sub68 Actually not. That thing is powerful  if you have the software tools and understanding.

Difficult task with the current setup would be differentiating between keyboard deflection and switch variance.

Does anyone know how they mapped out the warehouse and did a walk around? I know it's unreal engine 5. Do they use AR scanning tool? No idea if it even it is a thing. 

 

I really would like to know.

You'd probably have to ask the guy who made it but I imagine that it might have been from a combination of maybe walking through it, as well as just the papers that LMG probably has from proposals and what not on how it would be renovated. Since good contractors would give proper dimensions which would make it a lot easier to recreate.

Look into the Voron 2.4R2, the mechanical design behind it I think would work great for your keycap pressing device. I have one at my workplace I put together and it's accuracy is amazing.

Are you planning to open the source code? I'm a software engineer and I wouldn't mind contributing to the codebase (review code, fix issues, improve UI...)

 

You have a large and dedicated community. With a little bit of coordination from the Lab, the community could really help build better tools for you.

Hello,

 

I see you are looking for a robot arm. What about a Canadian made robot arm? I work for a company called Kinova. We build robot arms. And they are really made in Canada.

I've sent your video to our marketing team. They will probably reach out to you.

 

I see you are looking at a "Universal Robot" in your latest video. Our brand new "Link 6" robot is a direct competitor to the UR5 robot. We also have smaller/cheaper robots.

 

I am pretty sure the marketing team would be very happy to see our new Link 6 in your next videos. We'll see.

 

Until then, you can have a look at what we do right here: https://www.kinovarobotics.com/

 

Regards.

 

Yannick Asselin
