@davidrevoy (i'm trying to figure out a set up that lets me switch easily between drawing and typing, thus my particular interest there) @kate On this setup, I type with the two forearms on the XpPenArtistPro24 display. It's 'ok' because it's not a super hot display tablet; but not 100% ideal. Still, I managed recently to make big morning of writing or code for the website in this position. When I have to do more keyboard intensive task for the full day; I just detach the keyboard, and push the display under the top one (and close it). Not ideal again, but so far, it works. @davidrevoy @kate @NeadReport No, it's not a tablet with touch support, only stylus. ๐ And maybe it's a good thing because I'm not really liking the touch keyboards in general: I'm slow with them, miss click a lot on keys. I still feel them to be a good workaround on small pad/tablet or phone; but I wouldn't edit an article with a keyboard like that or code a new page for my website with that. @davidrevoy @NeadReport yeah, same essentially. Also I've never met an on screen keyboard layout that can handle heavy markdown usage, much less coding. @kate It's a very cool piece of hardware, the universal Cintweak keyboard trays: https://cintweak.com/ , a life changer for keyboard shortcuts ๐ .  @leah ๐ Thank you! I upload the full resolution here: https://www.peppercarrot.com/0_sources/0ther/misc/hi-res/2023-09-14_Random-Portrait_by-David-Revoy.jpg (src and license here: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/misc-src__2023-09-14_Random-Portrait_by-David-Revoy.html )  @davidrevoy that shark cute, and the art is all great. Your setup is definitely a productivity machine :)   @davidrevoy I've considered buying that scanner (well, a slightly different model I think). I will consider this a Seal of Approval
 @portugalense In my backpack , it's my travel machine. It doesn't has enough power to make a Pepper&Carrot comic page or compiling an episode, but today I took it to Toulouse library and made a conf with it. Good little laptop. @portugalense ๐ฎ oh right, my bad for not recognising you. Have you managed to get the fingerprint functional, btw? @NeadReport It's the Sennheiser HD 599 , I took it in July because I had to change my very old one (even if I DIY a lot, but it was 10 years old and started to bug hard ๐). This one was praised in the reviews. I disliked it a lot at first opening: I was probably too used to listen to my music with my previous headphones. Bass/Treble changed and I wasn't used to it. Another con: when listening loudly, the room around can hear your music a bit. With time, I adapted to it but, yep, a bit meh.  @davidrevoy Having lived through so much computing itโs a amazing the things we have today. That tablet is so futuristic and what can be done is mind blowing. @breadbin Oh yes, especially compared to 20 years ago when flat panel were still super expensive. I remember my first Cintiq 12wx, with 1280x800px for 12 inch, super dark. Then my bulky super expensive 21UX. This large 24 inch has quad HD resolution (2560x1440px) and is not that thick. It makes me wonder how will look my desk in 20 years from now ๐ @davidrevoy @breadbin โDesk? Where weโre going, we donโt need desks.โ @davidrevoy I remember trying to paint something (very unsuccessfully I might add, Iโm no artist) using a joystick on a C64:) Who knows if the future breakthroughs will be hardware, software, or something else. :) @Splig Oh nice! I'll probably try to put one at vertical too, it looks great on your setup when you watch a video that use only a portion of that vertical screen. ๐  @davidrevoy @davidrevoy Nice setup! Does monitor calibration work in Wayland now, or are you still on X11? @kvaks Hi! Wayland is far to be ready for my workflow, color calibration might be soon for next 6 month or 1 year (in progress?) but many features are still missing. Wayland can't even calibrate the cursor under the pen tip (to avoid parralax) on this tablet, so not possible for me to make art under Wayland right now. ๐ โcalibrate the cursor under the pen tip (to avoid parralax)โ I didnโt realize artists did this, that only helps as long as youโre using your tablet from one angle right? If you were to adjust the angle of your tablet youโd need to recalibrate this?  |
