ordered a new 2TB seagate already.. seagate has never let me down in the past history.
with a record seagate beeing over 7 years powered on state :)

i usualy replace HDDs within 3-4 years anway so they have to last at least that long.

Steam Hardware Survey For December 2014
11 Jan 2015 at 11:38 pm UTC

Quoting: coryrj19951
Quoting: n30p1r4t3Isn't steamos still on 3.10?
Yeah, that is what it looks like on their GitHub page.
If it is SteamOS that their are showing, it is weird how they don't actually say "SteamOS" though
naah.. how many times it has to be said..its the distro that has no lsb-release package installed..
you can try it easily with uninstalling this package and checking steam hardware info.

you can also try different distros in vbox and test it

Steam Hardware Survey For December 2014

Quoting: Jarno
Quoting: Guest"it's latest release"
And confirming that on Arch, Steam reports "Linux 3.10 (64 bits)".
I'm also using Arch and Steam says: "Arch Linux" (64 bit).
cause jarno has lsb-release package installed but stan doesnt.

about the survey: indeed it seem to be more common for distro hoppers and wine users, cause wine version changes rapidly and you then get the survey more often - at least it seems thatway

Steam Client Beta Add FPS Counter
5 Jan 2015 at 1:45 pm UTC

nice... ziggurat ran mostly above 80 fps for me on maxed 1920x1080
i do use __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 though with my 660Ti

neat little thing..maybe a bit too small and i agree that it needs some colors, like 60+ in purple, 45+ in green 30+ in yellow and anything below 30 red

ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Reviewed

Quoting: EKRboi...
The Roccat MK Pro has 2 things that kind of bother me. The first may not really be an issue but as I can't get my hands on one to try it does worry me. It is the T# buttons below the space bar.. A.) what are they for? and B.) do they get in the way? I don't really want/need macro keys.
those T buttons below spacebar wont be a problem, they dont activate when you just accidentaly hit it with your thumb or similar, which is rare to occur anyway.
those are mostly used for profile switching or whatever else you configure under them.. those buttons need some more force than other buttons so they are not accidentaly activated.

I have Ryos MK Glow
