  • This is how I feel about LTT too. There should never be one single location you go to for all your review needs - even if it had every single product in existence in for review.

    I’ll look at LTT videos to see people doing dumb shit with tens of thousands of Britannian Monies worth of tech, sometimes there’s some genuinely good “hey, this exists” (see: PowerToys which gave me Spotlight on Windows), and sometimes it triggers a “hey I could use X, I’ll do my own research and collation of reviews”.

    If they can get their Labs up and running and their tests being transparent enough that they can be peer reviewed, then Labs will be a tool in the toolbox, not the toolbox itself.




  • I would never trust a Razer product again, I’ve owned two of their Nagas and they both failed (double-clicking issue) within a year. Everyone in my WoW guild who have experience with MMO nice report the same problem with Razer mice.

    I personally have the Scimitar, recently bought a new one as my old one from ~2019 (I think is when I bought it) had the inverse problem; holding right click to move camera would “drop” the hold randomly.

    I own a lot of Corsair products and iCue is probably the least garbage peripheral software I’ve used over the years.


  • I’ve used Avelon exclusively for about a day now, here’s my feedback thus far:

    • Your implementation of NSFW blurring in the feed is the best I’ve seen across all Lemmy apps I’ve tried. I hugely appreciate the red [NSFW] block and the additional safeguard before loading the feed. 10/10, absolutely perfect.
    • Performance is, as I’ve mentioned previously, also the best across all Lemmy apps I’ve tried.
    • The haptics are very enjoyable; excellent implementation.
    • I love that you can see the formatting as you type it in your comment, rather than having to gamble on using Markdown correctly and then editing your post when it inevitably looks wrong
    • The scroll box for the comment you’re replying to is a good idea. The UI is even better than Apollo’s, where IIRC you couldn’t actually read the comment you’re replying to AND write at the same time.

    The only other request I have, other than what I put in my other post which is already on your radar, is to add a swipe action for “collapse top comment”. In Apollo and Voyager, you can swipe to collapse the top comment of a comment chain. For instance, if I swipe on this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/1591116 it would act as if I tapped to collapse this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/1565013 - hopefully that makes sense!
