In regards to the SiderWinder X4, does it only come with red back lighting?

The SideWinder X4 is a good keyboard, I've had the joy of using one in the past and I am quite a fan of it. I'm currently liking the look of the Logitech G710+ though

I told myself a year ago that I was going to strip off my wallpaper/repaint and get new flooring. I started doing it, but I lost motivation and never finished. I really need to get on this.

I thought I would share my desk at work. Currently I have a dual monitor setup and 5 tablets spread out. I do mobile architecture so you can see why. We currently have ~15K iPads deployed throughout our company but we are in the POC phase of looking at windows 8 tablets and I have 3 of them on my desk.

But, but, but... Windows 8 isn't meant for business.

New upgrade specs in sig

Lighting system reacts to anything on the screen and is fully adjustable. Running Windows 8 Pro (got it on the Jan offer) computer boots up in six seconds :D. Yes I know my computer is in a server case but I like it and it's old school, did not want to waste money on a new case when this is working fine. PC to the left will be a retro computer eventuatly. for my old games (it is a pentium 2 system, my first computer). Want to buy a second SSD for OSX (dual boot) in the near future.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
