The Chinese, really. I have little sympathy for the CCCP, but immediately standing up to Trump's aggression was the right call.

Wow, he did not only blink first, he did it in record time, too.

Now the whole world can learn how to deal effectively with this would-be strongman.

He makes Lukashenko look like a sensible, intelligent statesman in comparison.

So americans are now living in a Paul Verhoeven movie. Never thought this would become a reality.

I have every device connected via cable to my PC. I tried wireless peripherals and was disappointed every time.

Mouse for gaming and graphics, trackball for everything else. Why choose when you can have both?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 hours ago

That whole "throwing people in jail for weeks for thought crime" thing isn't as inviting as Trump thinks, apparently.

 

I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

No social media site can exist without a section dedicated to trackballs, the arguably superior input method.

The previous communities went stale, so here is my take on it. Looking forward to welcoming the tens of people interested in this topic!

As with all things the Trump administration is doing, this moment came sooner than one would have expected.

Oh, I'm sure law enforcement will put this system to good use. If you keep using Windows with this, you have to assume that any interaction with your PC will end up as evidence against you in court.

Es wird wohl noch eine Weile dauern, bis auch der letzte die engen Grenzen dessen, was aktuell als "KI" bezeichnet wird, begriffen hat.

I wonder when people will pick up on the subtle hints from the US.

This blatant idiocy was a big factor pushing me to switch to Linux. I never looked back.

This baby is a chunky one: the base is a hefty GMMK 3 Pro with Glorious Fox Red Heavy switches. I put Cerakey black caps on it.

How would I describe it? Typing is almost ethereal, with the weight of the caps doing a lot of the work. It sounds very deep and creamy with the space bar punctuating each word like Thor's hammer, if you hit it hard enough. The caps are an absolute dream to touch, they feel warm and so, so smooth.

I struck gold with this build, typing is just a joy. I will try even more resistant linear switches, though.

Keycaps with rare materials (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I've fallen in love with ceramic keycaps and built two very heavy but very satisfying keyboards with them. But now I crave for more.

One thing that I find somewhat disappointing is the fact that I never found any other vendors besides cerakey for ceramic caps. It's not that I don't like them, but I could go for other styles and layouts given the opportunity.

The other thing is that I would like to explore other materials. I've found wooden caps, again only from exactly one vendor and stainless steel caps by yet another single vendor.

What I would much rather try out are aluminum and glass, both materials I could imagine being pretty great for typing.

And maybe there are other options I haven't even considered yet?

Give me your best shops/stores with rare materials caps, I'm really interested!

Elon, the government doesn't need DOGE. But Tesla does need DOGE because it's spending money inefficiently.

 

WTF, ist das nicht ein Fall für den MAD?
