James can try downloading wacom drivers to try that in something more powerful than paint, like gimp; and the macro keys - I bet they are also programmable with tablet drivers, as it's usually the case with wacom products.

      That wouldn't meet requirement for any respectable security protocols. Especially when you can limit the USB port access via a Group Policy. Had to do this for certain departments that had to use cameras to document injury and recoveries and upload into the EMR system. We could lock out the USB ports to only HID devices and specific Vendor/device IDs for all machines assigned to such departments.
      In this case, since it entirely internal, is probably for loading the OS and factory configuration use.

    @blazernitrox6329 Місяць тому +82

    Minor detail, but since you asked:
    "VSync" is short for "vertical sync." Essentially, the monitor takes a certain amount of time to refresh the screen, and the computer takes a certain amount of time to have a new frame ready for the monitor to display. Usually, we refer to the inverse of these values - Hz and FPS, respectively. However, these two timings are not implicitly tied to each other - the computer may be able to generate a new frame significantly faster than the monitor is able to draw it to the screen. If the computer tries to tell the monitor to draw the new frame before it's finished drawing the old one, you can end up with "screen tearing," where a portion of the screen is the old frame and a portion of the screen is the new frame. VSync forces the computer to wait for the monitor to finish painting the old frame before sending it a new one to draw, preventing screen tearing. Additionally, VSync (depending on how it's implemented) can improve the overall responsiveness of the system by allowing it to go do other things (e.g. load the game's Wiki) while it's waiting for the monitor to finish drawing. However, a lot of games (especially prior to the release of DirectX 12 and Vulkan ca. 2016) only read user input while they're preparing the next frame, so turning on VSync can have a huge impact on the _feel_ of the game for systems capable of generating multiple frames per screen refresh. (This is why it's common for games like Rainbow Six: Siege to run at such high framerates - the game is able to accept inputs quicker, reducing input lag.)
    Because all VSync does is change how the system allocates its time, it generally doesn't directly impact performance. The major exception to this rule is if the computer is struggling to reach the monitor's refresh rate. If the computer takes longer to generate a frame than it takes for the monitor to refresh, the monitor will simply redraw the same frame until the computer has a new frame ready. As a result, the computer has to wait however many refreshes it takes to generate the frame, plus one more for the monitor to be ready to receive it. The net result is that if the computer drops below the refresh rate _at all,_ it will become locked to _half_ the refresh rate. In this scenario, turning VSync off allows the computer to immediately begin processing the next frame once the previous one is done, allowing it to get closer to the refresh rate (at the cost of potential screen tearing).

    • @blazernitrox6329
      @blazernitrox6329 Місяць тому +14

      ADDENDUM: Nowadays, screen tearing is almost never an issue. The first game systems and computers were highly prone to it, because their design meant that the data the central processor was manipulating was also actively being painted by the monitor/TV; this was worked around by having a period where the monitor was _technically_ outputting pixels, but those pixels were outside the bounds of the visible screen, giving the computer a limited amount of time to prepare the next image (look up VBlank and HBlank for more info). Once hardware was powerful enough, the concept of "double buffering" was introduced, which is more or less what I described in the main comment - the computer has a "canvas" it's building and the monitor has a "canvas" it's drawing, and when both are ready they swap canvases, with the monitor drawing the newly prepared canvas and the computer building a new frame over the old one. Prior to this, when the monitor was actively drawing pixels to the screen, the CPU was limited to only performing operations that didn't affect the screen. Depending on the architecture, this included not just the actual visual data itself (such as textures), but things like an object's position in the game world (as that would be reflected in its position on-screen). Because of this, while the frame was being drawn to the screen, there wasn't much the CPU could do other than load things into memory and maybe process audio. Double-buffering allowed the CPU to do whatever it wanted, whenever it wanted, without fear that it would mess up the image the monitor was drawing. However, for reasons I have been unable to discern, the convention continued to be that the system would render a frame, then wait for the monitor to accept it. While this setup prevented screen tearing, it had the unfortunate side-effect that the game logic would only be run once per frame. If you wanted to run the game logic any faster, you had to accept the possibility of screen tearing. This continued to be the status-quo... until triple-buffering came along. The concept is fairly simple: let the computer render as many frames as it wants, and simply store the most recently completed frame. That way, the monitor can simply accept the new frame whenever it's ready, preventing tearing caused by flipping the buffer mid-draw, while also preventing artifacts caused by the monitor drawing a frame that hasn't finished being rendered. Since the computer no longer has to wait for the monitor to be ready to accept its finished frame, the computer is free to run the core game logic as fast as possible, reducing input, physics, and even network latency ("latency" in this case referring to how long it takes the system to process data once it's received - upwards of 16ms at 60 updates per second, so not insignificant even for networking). Although triple-buffering is still widely in use today, the latency problems caused by the system waiting for the monitor to accept a frame have been reduced further by the introduction of DirectX 12 and Vulkan, which (unlike their predecessors) allow for a fully multi-threaded environment. With multithreading, the game can render a frame (and wait for the monitor if necessary) while _also_ processing user input _and_ performing physics calculations, and none of those operations are dependent on each other - the physics thread may be able to complete multiple times while the render thread generates a frame (which, coincidentally, re-introduces the problem of changes to non-graphical things having an effect on graphics, since the rendering thread might be using data in the physics thread to inform how it should render things - thread safety is another beast entirely and is best left as an exercise for the reader.).

    • @blazernitrox6329
      @blazernitrox6329 Місяць тому +2

      @@Arakus99 To my understanding, they're relatively straightforward. Rather than having a set refresh rate, the monitor is able to operate at a range of speeds, which it negotiates with the GPU. If I had to guess (and Wikipedia seems to back this up), essentially the monitor paints the frame to the screen at a constant rate, but can delay when it starts drawing the next frame until the GPU is ready.That is, the monitor draws the image at the highest speed possible (120hz, for example), but instead of immediately drawing the next frame (or redrawing the same frame if a new one isn't available) it can "hold" the last image on the screen until a new frame is sent. This helps reduce screen tearing the same way VSync does while improving latency by allowing the game to run at a higher framerate. More importantly, it helps avoid stuttering caused when the GPU is unable to provide the framerate the monitor is expecting. Essentially, a fixed 60Hz monitor will always start a new draw once every 1/60th of a second (around 16.7 milliseconds). With VSync enabled, if your framerate drops even slightly below that speed, it gets locked to _half_ the speed - 30FPS in this case. Disabling VSync allows the GPU to send as many frames as it can, but now there's a timing mismatch. If the GPU is running at exactly 59FPS, then for 58 of the 60 refreshes, the monitor will have a new image which is on the screen for exactly 16.7ms, but for the last two refreshes, there's only one frame available, so it will need to be drawn twice, totalling 33.3ms. This inconsistency - some, but not all, frames being redrawn multiple times - is noticed by the user as stutter. With GSync and Freesync, rather than always drawing at 60Hz and redrawing frames to make up the difference, the monitor is able to slow down to match the framerate so each frame is on the screen for the same amount of time.

    • @samdouglas32
      @samdouglas32 Місяць тому +5

      tldr. vsync makes the game wait until the monitor is ready before showing the frame.
      It will start working on the next frame while waiting, but by the time the next frame is presented, it will be stale, so you get input lag.
      Adaptive refresh rate monitors are more flexible with timing, and so games can try and match your monitors frame rate but there isn't a strict deadline

      But using it itself in a very old version of photoshop would be worse than just buying a decade old tablet off a second hand market, which you can get for like 50 bucks or less.

    When you explained the way the computer detects the stylus connects through electromagnetic resonance instead of capacitive touch, my brain went: huh, that's how Wacom drawing tablets work. So I feel somewhat validated when I saw 'Wacom Digitizer' when you opened up the device. It does make me wonder if Wacom has a complete control over that technology and patent.
    I was also hopeful when I saw the mini PCI and PCIE slot. Because I am sure you can plug in a graphics card with a chain of adapters using that! I wonder how much the CPU would be bottlenecking the performance. I know a certain Bringus Studios youtuber who would love to see this computer. He has a track record of gaming on random ass devices.
    And also, that usb port cut is so clean. That was an amazing job.

At a previous job, we had these android handheld things for scanning tags, and in the power menu was an option labeled "Swap Battery" you were then instructed to wait until the red status light went out (as I understand, it charged a supercap and powered down all but the RAM and slowed the CPU), then you had 1 minute from when you pulled the battery out to put another in, and you'd hold the power button to resume. It's possible there's an app somewhere to trigger that. The company that made those advertised a healthcare variant that did let you just yank the battery without warning, so the other possibility is that internal battery is just sad.
