minuteelb: awesome, sounds like a great fit00:01
minutegordon1: you mean filling the gap between heatsink and case with some thermal pad/paste?00:02
gordon1minute: correct00:02
minutegordon1: yeah, that should do something. pad is probably less messy00:03
gordon1i tried pad first, but even 0.1mm shifts the heatsink so screws are tensioned uncomfortably at an angle when trying to screw those, so i swapped it with thermal paste 00:04
minutegordon1: ohh ok00:05
elbjosch: yeah that's exactly why I went for the rk358800:05
elbI'm running sway, it worked fine business00:05
gordon1minute: ah, sorry, misinformation, i tried 0.2mm, worth trying with 0.1mm then, but i don't have it at hand00:07
gordon1do they exist? i'm pretty sure i saw one00:08
gordon1ah, that might be carbonaut00:08
gordon1which probably not worth it00:09
gordon1uh oh EC feels a bit unwell https://0x0.st/Kozy.txt00:17
gordon1and it sometimes reads ironious values00:18
gordon1http://0x0.st/Kozt.txt00:19
gordon1battery screen on the keyboard is fine tho00:20
gordon1well, as fine as it can be, with flickering etc00:21

vkoskivjosch: I completely forgot to reply the other day! re: kernel & mesa version, currently running 6.15.6-mnt-reform-arm64 and mesa 25.0.7, though I see I have 919 updates pending :D01:26
minutebtw anyone having a similar issue of clipped colorspace (esp in shadows) on hdmi? i wonder if rk3588 driver or LG screen issue https://mastodon.social/@mntmn/11509202294104892902:01
henesyminute: mine looks like the color on the left02:06
henesyon rk358802:06
henesyspeaking of - recent reform2 image on rk3588 and gnome insists every F key press should be a media key even with hyper held, is there a key combination to access the function keys directly?02:08
minuteok then there might be a HDMI tx driver issue after all02:09
minutehenesy: sounds like you engaged hyper lock02:09
henesywhat's the key bind for hyper lock?02:09
minutehenesy: what type of keyboard is that?02:10
minutehenesy: rgb or white backlight?02:11
henesywhite02:11
minute(because i couldn't reproduce it with my rgb one now)02:11
henesyi had checked the handbook and didnt see anything02:11
minutemaybe it was hyper+esc?02:11
henesyhyp+esc was my first try, didn't do anything for me02:11
minutehyper circle, hyper enter? :D02:12
henesyAHA02:12
minutei forgot, need to check the old fw code02:12
henesyhyper circle!02:12
minuteahhh02:12
henesyi didnt realize the circle key could be bound that way, but if it's fw level that makes sense02:12
minuteobscure feature!02:12
henesyNO idea when i triggered that lol02:12
henesymany thanks02:13
minutenp!02:13
henesybtw minute for the keyboard v4 what are the dip switch settings for putting the v4 keyboard into the reform2?02:14
henesythe labeling on the dip switches was a little confusing02:14
henesysomeone on the forum posted an image of their keyboard switches put in, but i couldn't get my keyboard v4 to be recognized when i had tried02:15
henesydo i have to flash firmware to the keyboard before installation?02:15
henesyi couldn't get the keyboard to be recognized standalone, either02:15
minutehenesy: if your switches seem to say "NO" they're just upside down. it says "ON"02:16
henesyi definitely tought they said NO02:16
henesyin my mind i think 1 is on and 0 is off02:16
henesyi just found it a little confusing02:16
minutehenesy: maybe you sent a support req about this? because i thought i answered one like that a few days ago02:17
henesyoh i think i did02:17
henesymaybe the response got spammed02:17
minutehenesy: 1 is pin 1, ON is on :D02:17
minutehenesy: sniff02:17
minutewe need different dip switches, these are hella confusing02:17
henesyhaha fair enough02:19
henesyhttps://community.mnt.re/t/upgrading-the-mnt-reform-keyboard-to-v4/2906/302:19
henesythis is the thread i was looking at02:19
henesyi don't see a response to my support message in my email02:19
henesyi hope gmail didnt reject it02:19

rwa_fuck, broke one of the nipples of my left mousebutton when i removed it: https://ibb.co/ch7VMm1q11:56
gordon1rwa_: i did another crude calc here and expect heatsinks on the back of the case to not contribute much to cooling, maybe 3-4 degrees (with perfect, ideal thermal interface again)11:57
joschrwa_: i got one of those out by heating a needle, sticking that into the plastic of the stuck leg/stem in a bit of an angle and then waiting for the plastic around the needle to harden again11:57
gordon1sla printed caps not supposed to be thermoplastic, do they?11:58
gordon1rwa_: i  know it is too late now, but i usually use cap puller on top and bottom edges of trackball caps to avoid this outcome12:00
joschwhat i recently changed is to not remove the round keys at all -- i learned that holding the reform up and then just blowing onto the ball very hard un-sticks most of the debris from the sensor below the ball12:01
rwa_josch: at the moment it's fine where it is, the cap is still somewhat fixed - nice hint with the heated needle, will try this once i decide to replace the cap12:03
rwa_gordon1: 3 to 4 degress are 3 to 4 degress more then nothing ;) and i just wanted to test this12:03
gordon1rwa_: well, i expect reality to be more disappointing than 3-4 degrees, probably sub 1 degree, with all the thermal interface-to-anodizing junctions12:05
gordon1but i still am interested if i'm wrong12:05
rwa_well see, they should arrive tomorrow12:05
rwa_for sure it would be more usefull if the back where ribbed from the beginning, but this will probably be more costy12:06
gordon1i got myself this style of cap puller for trackball caps, it can be bent to widen and it is thin enough to slip between case and the cap12:07
