Hi, i know this was asked few years ago, but with the recent sudden appearence of several "consumer" UV printers coming out, and given that UV printers should still be a more costly technology overall, i was wondering if anyone's aware of any upcoming inkjet printer with white capabilities at non enterprise prices.

It would seem weird if no company was trying to fill the gap, wouldn't it?

I don't know anyone in any age range, child or grandma who would do this lmfao

Hi, i'm considering buying a new monitr after my current one started having this issue. With some search I've found posts of it happening to other people

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/114b4c3/horizontal_lines_on_gigabyte_g27f_2_gaming_monitor/

I've looked at other brands, but honestly Gigabyte's IPS monitors just fit exactly my needs and pricepoint (especially having a built in kvm with usb-c devices).

Looking at the M27Q3 the closest contender seems to be Asus's XG27ACMES (or simlar random letters mashes), but Asus monitor's "intricate" back side look like they wouldn't fit my current vesa mounts (the screwholes are way too close to the recessed edge) so I'd need an adapter too.

I'm wondering, is this horizontal lines thing a known issue, does it happen frequently, does anyone know if it has been fixed over the years and doesn't occur anymore? If I go with a Gigabyte monitor again am I likely going to have the same issue again in 3 years from now? They don't even allow advanced RMA, which is kinda necessary for me if an issue occurs.

Hi,

I just had a problem with my Gigabyte display and they offered an RMA, but since I need a monitor to do my job it's a bit of a problem.

I was considering buying a new monitor from another brand before sending my Gigabyte monitor to the RMA.

But to avoid the same issue in the future, I'd like to know if Asus offers advanced RMAs (for those unfamiliar, you pay a deposit, the company sends you the replacement product before you send the damaged one back. Then when they receive the damaged one they refund the deposit)

Hi, I'd like to draw scenes that include portals, but I don't want the portals to be a "visible object", i just want to "bend" the viewport somehow.

Here's an example that explains it more easily:

https://preview.redd.it/zi850w1naq5h1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=2352fbe1b90bd32a9de01ff56a46d0dbfd0bf6d7

Creating the visibility polygons through portals isn't much more complex than regular visibility polygons, and visibility going through multiple portals is trivial once that is done.

So I end up with a list of pairs of matching polygons (which could be split into matching triangles).

I was thinking about grouping all the polygons through the same portal (In the example one group with polygons 0 and 1, and another group with polygons 2, 3 and 4, making a render texture with viewport at their world coordinates aligned with the "what player sees on screen" transform. Then in the final viewport I draw the associated triangles from the texture.

However that would mean potentially creating and deleting lots of small textures, and resizing them every frame during movement (or I could make them slightly larger, but when a player approaches at a high angle resizing is unavoidable). I didn't implement anything yet but it sounds expensive. Also with this method I'd be rendering more than just what's within the visibility polygons, since I render the whole rectangle area to texture.

Is there any better approach you can think of that's escaping me?

(sorry, reddit filters removed my post when i added a screenshot to explain better)

Immediate note from previous post that I didn't think was necessary: yes i know what '\n' is. I'm not talking about storing a simple string with a '\n' in the clipboard.

Hi, I've noticed that if a copy paste a multiline/multicursor/multicolumn (different programs call it different ways) selection from notepad++ to visual studio or viceversa both programs beware aware of the multiline selection. For some reason I thought it was an application specific clipboard, but the fact it's working across two distinct programs suggests otherwise.

I'd like to replicate that "copy multi column highlights" to cliboard behaviour in my c++ program.

Is it something done with OS clipboard APIs? Or is it something like an escape sequence convention?

My google-fu is failing me searching this topic specifically (i either find people asking how to use multiline editing in existing programs, or simple string clipboard APIs), does anyone know where can i see some documentation about how it all works?

"Practical" explanation of what I'm referring to: Consider square brackets as beginning and end of highlight and | as current cursor position.

Given

qw[e]rty
ui[o]p

Copy to clipboard

a|b
cd

Paste after 'a'

You get

aeb
cod

The 'e' and 'o' get placed vertically. They're definitely not stored as a simple string with a newline in the clipboard. If you copy e\no

To the clipboarrd and paste it in the previous situation the result is

ae
ob
cd

which is completely different, and expected from a simple newline.

So somewhere somehow there must be some additional information. And in Microsoft's clipboard API page I'm not finding anything specific for that.

Is it something done with OS clipboard APIs? (I didn't dig into windows's but i know it lets you specify clipboarrd content types, so perrhaps the multiline type is separate from a simple string). O is it something like an escape sequence convention?
