That’s a beautiful writeup. Why did I do this ridiculous and impractical thing? To learn how to do it!

Well done.

netsharc•1h ago
Written by AI? The whole text smells like it, this sentence near the end is the most suspicious: "The 2 bytes were never the goal. The goal was to see how far in I could get."

I stopped reading at “ 2 bytes on a 64GB stick is embarrassing. 2 bytes in your mouse is art.”

No way to know for sure, but worth flagging.

So yea fair enough for being skeptical. That’s just how I write. I normally don’t do technical blog posts and in my free time I tend to write more in a bookish way. Especially since it’s not my first language. Thanks for checking the post out and this helps me

Write it yourself. This comment is fine, it didn't matter if your English isn't perfect. I got you. LLMisms sour the whole post with a bad tone and I and others won't stomach it. The impression of effort is more important.

I hit "No rounding, no validation, not a "that's not a real DPI" error." and stopped. Garbage

is this comment written by Ai?

the first sentence is the most suspicious - too many comments accusing blogposts of being made by Ai for basically no reason

Guess I should start buying mice instead of expensive RAM-sticks.
