#funny #article on #minimalism and #removing the #capslock #key https://memex.marginalia.nu/log/48-i-hav.. This appears to be a #dig at #apple and their #keyboard design - which is insanely #unfriendly ...
Okay, new #episodes of #futurama are being created over on #hulu ! https://news.yahoo.com/why-original-futu.. Apparently it will be minus a few #key #actors , including the #voice behind #bender ... If it's even half the #tv #show it was, we're in for a treat!
Interesting #review of the #modern #thinkpad https://127001.me/post/ten-years-of-thin.. Have #insert and #end as the same #key would kill me in #vim - it #excludes me from tonnes of #mechanical #keyboards too. A #palmrest is an important feature. An #ethernet #port is a must, as is an #external #battery ! One thing my old T22 #laptop has is an anti- #glare #display with a #physical #border around the #lcd . Seems like the #ibm / #lenovo #thinkpad is not quite the machine it used to be.
These 3D #printed #key #switches are absolutely awesome! https://hackaday.com/2022/01/17/3d-print.. By the time I go to get a new #mechanical #keyboard - I might even be able to build it completely from scratch! I would probably look to #simplify the #design though, #reduce number of #parts , #reduce number of #magnets , #reduce #halleffect #sensors , etc. Potentially you could build a #forever #keyboard though!
After repairing this #mechanical #keyboard recently and posting an #article about it under #keyboardrepair - it appears that the `s` #key is now also dying: https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/keyb.. It's now getting more and more pressing that I get a #replacement - I'm not sure this #keyboard will survive many more #fixes and any more of my awful #soldering !
