Go to a meet up if you can and try out different boards, switches, key cap profiles, talk to owners etc. before you spend any significant sums. Impact of key cap profile and materials is often underrated.

If you cant then switch testers and "cheap" 3d printed or acrylic boards are a decent way to try different layouts, especially if you can sell them once you finished with them. Sure you can skip this step if you know the exact layout you want, but I didn't.

Learn what types of switches you prefer, if you like them lubed, filmed, ball bearing mod, stem swapped, etc. is worth the effort. As is getting good at stabs.

I think another fundamental is deciding if you are one and done or you will keep buying boards. Buying keyboards then building them is the hobby for me, I have loads, more than 50. If its the former then you want to spend longer nailing down what you want, the latter it doesn't matter so much.

Its snobby but mass market boards are ok, just ok. I would much rather have something more premium, with a bit more thought around it. It is more risk than buying from your average shop though, and you need to do proper research into the GB runner, even then they can exit scam (ask me how I know).

Being able to decide everything you want for a board, mounting style, plate material (or even no plate), switches, how they lubed, if they filmed, what stabs you use, what keycaps, all make fundamental differences to a boards sound and behavior. Getting that how you want it can take time.

Lars is a visionary and I would give him a big smack on the chops if I ever met him

Having actually been rushed to hospital when I was a kid by my friends after a big accident on my bike I would say the number is higher than you might think. They even walked by bike back home, which considering it was miles from home was pretty mad for teenagers.

I would say at least 20 people I know who are close to me either have done something I would consider above and beyond for me already or I know for sure would do so. Thats not counting any relatives.

Dominik Solanke going to trade his house for these

On the nose of the top one, it's cause there is red on the front wing as well

Does that really have the rising sun on it? It is going to be popular in places like Korea if it does.

It's a fundamental issue understanding what art is for sure. People who could really draw well could already copy his style perfectly, but just because you can perfectly copy it doesn't make it original, and thus have the same value. It's not that it has no value, just considerably less value than his films.

It's that total lack of originality with AI slavishly copying a style like this that shows its lack of creative value. It's like pressing play on a keyboard programmed with 20 top tunes of the 80s and randomly pressing the high hat key.

Sure, it enables someone who can't play the piano to "play" a song, but not really. It's the same getting AI to copy by rote someone else's style they developed, it requires no effort or application of originality.

Yeah that not right. It's possible for the teams to work out ideal efficiency for the max fuel flow limit and battery discharge limits and go from there. These are hard constants for what is possible. Sure, someone might break the laws of physics, but it's unlikely.

Look at which teams talk this up as a big positive and you will get a good idea whose new PU for 26 is behind the competition.

This is what you get when you do not want two number one drivers but want someone to pay second fiddle to Max as you are too scared to manage two competitive drivers.

They kept Carlos hanging around for months last summer on the off chance that Max would leave when they could have just signed Carlos and had two experienced quality drivers for this year.

Now I am very curious as to how Yuki will do in the Red Bull as it seems to be a complete nightmare to drive. If they do not sort out their car then Max is going to struggle as the season progresses.

Yes but only occasionally. I have them mapped as space cadet shift keys so left shift key is ( on tap and shift on hold, right shift key is ) on tap and shift on hold.

I use ( a lot but my ide normally adds the ) for me so I don't need it as much for that.

Also, I use left shift for most capitals as I rarely gpt further than ; on the right side of the keyboard.

Smaller keyboards I have shift on hold of A and L as I don't have dedicated shift keys kn those.

Another starship user. Mostly want it to summarise useful stuff for folders pulled from git or whatever so it's pretty plain rest of the time. I use the same on all my boxes
