What’s the deal with them? Only NZXT component i’ve had is my current case, which has awful airflow (old model of H710 I think, bought 5 ish years ago).

when you hoover your mouse

pls, do not hoover your mouse

It’s really wild that so many comments in this thread are mocking naive or inneficient ways of doing stuff, without actually giving any info on how to do things better. Or worse, people are spouting niche keyboard shortcuts without giving the context they’re used in, or what those shortcuts even do.

If I recall correctly, the colored text is client specific and it colors common/specific words when when their in code format.

Are you by chance using voyager?

Newpipe is fucking great. Does what I want it to and doesn’t do what I don’t want it to. Favorite thing about it is the ability to easily download video or audio.

I hope they release more Smartypants soon. “When is the happiest birthday?” and “No thank you the ocean” are fucking incredible, but honestly it’s all gold.

If i recall correctly, this is basically the entire premise to Animal Farm. Great book.

For a second I thought this was about Stardew Valley and that I would get higher star crops by rotating them through the season.

Tree style tabs is cool, but sidebery is where it’s fucking at.

Vertical tabs, groups, automatically open certain sites in specific container tabs, pin tabs to the top or unload them.

Everything I could possibly want for tab organization, even down to a fully adjustable css file with a great UI for getting that shit pixel perfect.

I think you could do that with openrgb and both the visual map plugin (same link as I posted before) and hardware sync. I haven’t specifically tried it, but from what I have done, I think it’s quite doable.

Use visual map to create individual control over numpad lights (as opposed to keeping them grouped up with the rest of the keyboard, which gives less options), and then in theory you should be able to map any temp reading to any key that you’ve separated from the group.

There’s more than just temps as options too. Poking through, I saw stuff like power draw and clock speeds, ram usage/availability, and ethernet throughput. Could be fun to map stuff like that, though likely that would have less utility in most situations.

Responding to temperatures is useful but I think that might require a little more scripting.

Hardware Sync Plugin can help with this: https://openrgb.org/plugins.html

Adds a new tab in openrgb where you can set a hardware item, a light output and then make a color (and brightness maybe?) gradient by just inputting a few numbers and colors, and openrgb will do all the fading in between. I have my GPU temp set to my motherboard light. Compared to my rainmeter setup, it’s easier to get a general vibe at a glance and more eye catching if it gets unusually hot.

RGB ram and other PC internals are definitely a scam, but you can put them to use if you already have them.

I use OpenRGB (an rgb program) to set my built in motherboard rgb light to be a color gradient based on my GPU temperature (ie: minimum temp is cyan, and fades green/yellow/red for higher temps). Not distracting cause it doesn’t ever have major temperature changes in a short time, and it’s pretty convenient as a general monitor when I’m playing games.

Definitely not a selling point for rgb internals, but a neat usage if you already have it.

I love rgb on my keyboard though. Color coded keys are a godsend for me to break up letters/numbers/punctuation.

An onion? At what time was that the style?

I moved to towers for the same reason years ago, but I basically never do major component swaps like I thought I would.

I’ve since realized that having a tower is really nice for other things though, namely maintenance and cleaning/airflow. My rtx 2060 seemed like it was on its way out a year ago (thermal throttling, even on way lower settings than it used to be able to run just fine), so I took it apart and replaced the thermal paste. Runs better than when I first got it. Got some new case fans recently as well and the whole thing runs cooler, quieter, and they use less power than my stock ones, which is nice.

Obviously the thermal paste thing applies to laptops as well, but laptops can be very tough to get open and dig around in.
