Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@mrHaXuanQuyen2K8 says : ワコム is a Saitama name fiction.>> <<@Abhinavkumar-og3xd says : Please explain by saying in hindi.>> <<@TheKoentje1994 says : Try Osu, a Japanse rythm game for these tablets>> <<@anthonyrussano says : what about screen annotation in Linux>> <<@wittorpt says : Very informative, I am just casually watching but your review has good points and I can see people thinking on getting a tablet for day to day use being helped by your video>> <<@JH-fk8ow says : im not convinced by the RSI and arthritis claim you've made, people actually get both of those from using pencils. a proper sitting height/angle of the elbow and ergonomic mouse is far more comfortable than holding a thin pencil in akward hand position, a thicker pen with ergonomic shape would help but a thin one, no. The rest of the points you made are sound tho.>> <<@microcolonel says : I used a Wacom Bamboo for years as my pointer device (nice because it has a good scrolling thing). Main reason I went back to mouse was multi monitor (though maybe I should just get a second tablet to map to my other monitor, or use buttons to charge the mapping). One other issue is the polling rate, though maybe that has improved on later models.>> <<@DigitalJapan says : Wacom was previously notorious in Japan as an IT company affiliated with the Korean cult Unification Church, but has now cut ties with the Unification Church and is a legitimate Japanese IT company, although it does not advertise on Japanese TV.>> <<@DigitalJapan says : here was a lot of turmoil within the company between 1997 and 1998. However, the lawsuit with the labor union was settled in 2000[19]. The lawsuit found that some employees had engaged in unfair labor practices out of hatred of the labor union, such as transferring the development of tablets to sales of a real estate information search system, which had almost no sales, and then firing the entire department due to poor performance, and transferring employees from the Saitama headquarters to faraway locations such as Shimane and the Czech Republic, and some employees were reinstated (many former union members left after filing a petition for relief). However, it became clear how the second president truly eliminated the influence of the Unification Church from Wacom.>> <<@DigitalJapan says : By the time the second president took over in 1991, it was the first president and the Unification Church that made the company the largest company affiliated with the Unification Church, with sales exceeding 8 billion yen.[19] Ultimately, the second president removed pictures of True Parents from the company, eliminated the influence of the church by buying up all newly issued shares, demoted and fired members of the Wacom Employee Stock Ownership Association (which held more shares than the second president, but was dissolved in January 2004[23]), and began to "seek bread rather than the Word," leading to his expulsion from the church as a "traitor.">> <<@someuser4166 says : 6:13 I'm a digital illustratior (I started in 2013) I drew for around 3h every day since then and I've only had to change nibs once though I've somehow managed to rub the paint of the pen due to me holding it so much>> <<@272attwell says : Will this work on Raspberry OS?>> <<@GunTech says : I have always used computers with mice and have finally learned to use a trackpad decently. It's still patience-taxingly slow. I would probably be even slower with a graphics tablet, but maybe a screen tablet would work better. I've had CTS symptoms and switched to Vertical Mice. There are also roller mice, which might be the only ones for those who already have CTS. I find that variation is key. If you can stand, semi-stand, and switch between input methods, this is helping rid your body of static postures and repetitive, movements. When I do this, I can use any input method.>> <<@RobBattram says : I got one based on this review - it is really great for blender sculpting - like you say it requires some learning to get used to absolute positioning.>> <<@themadatheist1976 says : Interesting, I might try this since I has a basic Gao brand tablet I don't use. And micro USB? from Wacom? Most be an old tablet? I been using my Tab S9 Ultra as a drawing display via SuperDisplay.>> <<@9a3eedi says : For drawing, wouldn't something like an iPad make more sense these days?>> <<@centy64 says : I got something like this for xmas about 10 years ago at least and I literally never opened it. It's definitely a much cheaper version and not from Wacom but yeah plugged it in on Linux and I was immediately going. Not sure if it's for me, it definitely takes a lot to get 30+ years of mouse muscle memory out of my brain but maybe I'll find the reason I installed krita.>> <<@frederik188 says : It’s really good to see that Linux has to drive us already installed. Do you have experience on how this works on Mac?>> <<@cchimozmin says : aaahhh :) The calmer world of Linux. Just ordered one for my Linux system. Thanks for this :)>> <<@RottnRobbie says : My computer-phobic mother, who's well into her 90's, has some dexterity issues that make using a mouse difficult. Several months ago, I got her to try a track-ball, hoping it might help - but she hated it worse than the rodent. After watching this, I'm wondering if a track- _pad_ might be better for her? I might get her a low end one to try, and if she likes it, upgrade to a bigger/metter model. (Off the top of my head, I think a bigger pad would make accurate pointer placement easier for her, and also that she might need more than 2 buttons).>> <<@TC-mb2pw says : Never thought of using a graphics tablet instaed of a mouse! Could you use it for typing using OCR eg in an address bar, instead of having to put the pen down and go back to the keyboard, use the pen to enter the address or search term?>> <<@Andy_FortyTwo says : So after watching this when it was first released, i ended up getting a medium "One By Wacom" tablet. Still getting used to the feel.... i quite like it. But Mr EC, do you think you could make a part 2, where you explain some of the settings to make it work nice in Linux, especially when you don't have a GUI to set it up, but only the CLI tools.>> <<@ucmRich says : I love your video bro!! I believe this is one of your greatest videos especially for explaining the difference between graphics tablet and mouse/wheel use. This is the best I have ever seen and explained it perfectly with no misunderstanding at all. Kudos pal :-D and thank you very much for this ^_^>> <<@dab42bridges80 says : The bright red base is to warn you that you're trying to write on the wrong side? Same as the warning on my toothpaste tube that squeezing from the bottom produces the best results, or leaning my ladder against power lines is generally a bad idea...>> <<@SaltyMaud says : I don't think precision is exactly a selling point for pen tablets, especially small ones. If you want precision, use a high quality mouse and a reasonably slow pointer speed. A lot of gaming branded peripherals are nonsense marketing, but gaming mice are the best performing mice by a long shot. Otherwise yes, a tablet has other natural advantages, especially for their intended use.>> <<@Uterr says : Come on :) are you still using tablet instead of mouse? Anyways, out of 4 pros you describe only 1 is valid: tablet has pressure sensitivity. All 3 other is not valid: 1 - more precise control, no true. With mouse you can position cursor with pixel precision, with tablet you just can’t. 2 - more natural ux. it’s not a pros, handwriting is also more natural, but it does not give benefits compared to typing, same thing here, it’s rather peculiarity than a pro. 3 - I don’t know really, but laying you hand on a mouse in relaxed manner makes far less strain than holding a pen. On a mouse your hand literally just laying relaxed, which is pretty natural>> <<@justsurfin5013 says : Sadly enough I am the freak of the group - I use my tablet - as a laptop. First got tried the graphics stuff and basically got bored>> <<@TheFoxholeLife says : I used wacom for a month or two. The problem is that it becomes annoying when your work involves frequent switching from keyboard to tablet. Like when you are using using a spreadsheet.>> <<@Vagabond-Etranger says : Would using a tablet for gaming be feasible? I have always use a mouse. Always thought that tablets were for graphic artist to draw. Used track ball a few times, but didn't like them.>> <<@rxmas7234 says : I've been a fan of Wacom since Autocad in the 80s. Consistently a good product. Great video!>> <<@flywheeldk says : Thank you so much for another great video. Now where did i put that Bamboo One - I never really got the hang of it, but I'll give it another try.>> <<@Robi_Digital says : I thought, for certain, that I was the only person in the free world still using an Intuos 2.>> <<@SophieIsAlwaysTaken says : Im so used to using a mouse, I'm probably more used to it than a pen and paper, im not sure a tablet would be easier at first at least. There's definitely good utility to it though 😄>> <<@koskos758 says : How does it work with KiCAD ?>> <<@olpkol says : But you must remember that if you update the OS, you throw away the tablet - the manufacturers do not release a new driver and force you to buy a new one! I already have three of them in my nightstand.>> <<@schtive81 says : I have been using wacom tablets and various other tablets since 2007-2008. I cannot use anything but a large tablet. Small tablets are too constricting to me.>> <<@timmurphy5541 says : Can you trace a picture on a bit of paper with it? i.e. does the pen *have* to have direct contact onto the pad?>> <<@extremelydave says : EC is always a learning experience.>> <<@CheapHomeTech says : And now that I bought it using your affiliate link I needed to rewatch your video. Mouse mode was the key take away. But before I could even start I had to find an old USB cable that was long enough. The one provided assumes your tablet is next to your computer. Hence it is now hanging with all the other useless USB cables. The thing you did not mention is how hard it is to adapt. I know you mentioned it. Reality though is always different.>> <<@DoctorOnkelap says : Did you try 3D printing replacement nibs?>> <<@AlejandroOjedaN says : Bitcoin is technology too. We want to learn bitcoin from you! 😊>> <<@mikeportjogger1 says : I am still happily using a Wacom Graphire 2 tablet with Windows 10. It came with a pen and a mouse and I bought it when I had a Windows 98 machine; perhaps it's about time I upgraded.>> <<@c.jones-yt says : One considerable downside of tablets not mentioned here: it's trickier to switch back and forth quickly between moving the pointer and typing. I would only use a tablet for graphics-intensive tasks.>> <<@fmphotooffice5513 says : It has been essential for me for +25 years. There is no real way to use Photoshop, etc. without a tablet.>> <<@fennex2000 says : you should Upgrade to the Chinese Graphics Tablets, they are cheaper and sometimes better>> <<@mikethespike7579 says : A good, short introduction to graphics tablets for people who just need an initial pointer to this technology and what it's good for. I've been using Wacom tablets since the first ones were introduced in the early 1990s and can't imagine being without one when doing graphics. But I otherwise reach for my mouse in other applications. I changed over from a Wacom Intuos to a Wacom Cintiq about 10 years ago and find working with that very satisfying and well worth the high cost of the tablet. I had to smile at the dig to the bloatware that comes with Wacom's drivers. It seems a lot of manufacturers do that now.>> <<@obayev says : Very useful information! Thank you very much!>> <<@toby_cm says : I just got the same tablet from Hack Club Arcade 2 weeks ago Im loving it :DDD>> <<@TheTravellingDrone says : Wow. I had a Wacom Graphic Tablet years ago for my Mac. Loved it. I remember it had like a pocket to put a physical photo inside so you could “work” on that for added precision, instead of just seeing the photo on the screen.>> <<@rpdee7344 says : 9/19/24 Enjoy your many videos on computer knowledge. I do CAD drafting for a living and have used larger tablets with a 4 button puck to accurately draw and duplicate designs to size with basic looking vector line drawing for The monument memorial industry. The software program /apps you use with a mouse, puck & tablet, or digitize tablet & pen is also a critical part of being able to accurately control and produce usable designs. My process is that my CAD software allows me the ability to scan images and set the measuring scale to feet and inches ( with metric as also an option. So after many versions of my CAD software I have gone from a 20"x20" tablet and puck, to a better CAD software and a mouse. I do own a Graphics Tablet and a pressure sensitive pen, but have not ended up using it, when I now find I can scan my images and adjust to size needed and with a normal mouse create vector drawings that I use to have to hand draw with the same accuracy before I learned on computer with 40+ years of drawing to a standard.>>
