  • That’s a weird comparison to make. The Aptera is smaller and uses different materials.
    Afaik it’s going to be classified as a motorcycle in many states in the USA, but they’re still aiming for a high rating. I know they have crumple zones and a safety cell made from composites akin to F1 cars.
    Whether what they’re planning will be enough, we’ll only know for sure once they test it.

    The math works quite well as long as the information is accurate.
    Of course things can always turn up to be different in the end product.
    But from the information we have now, ~4 hours of good sunlight conditions will be enough for 43 miles.









  • Been using the Glove80 for over a year now and I love it.
    Everything about it is exactly what I wanted from an ergonomic keyboard and it’s also very customizable.
    It’s been very comfortable for me from the moment I got it up until now. And while I used to like rough PBT keycaps texture, I’ve learned to enjoy the Glove80’s smooth POM keycaps.
    I had only one keyboard before it which I could consider as “ergo” and have used for quite a bit - The Sweep. I liked it, but the limited amount of keys ended up being an annoyance for me. Especially when gaming. Plus the Glove80’s curve and palm rest make it substantially more comfortable for me, despite it being a larger keyboard.

    There are only 2 things left on my checklist for the “perfect ergo keyboard”:

    • Lighter switches - I got the red chocs before the red pro chocs were an option. I’m thinking of soldering the 20g ambient switches though.
    • Pointing input module - There was some work going on about an Orbital v2 touchpad integration with the Glove80. But I haven’t heard anything about it since (I think it’s been over a year).

    So I’ve been eyeing the Svalboard.
    I’m not sure it’ll fit my needs as it isn’t wireless and has less keys. But I love everything else about it.

    Tiktok is owned by ByteDance, which is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese.
    Intel is headquartered in the USA and was founded by Americans.

    Intel is investing in Israel for the same reason other companies like Nvidia do (who just acquired another Israeli startup last month and has 7 R&D centers in Israel). Innovation and talent.







  • Might want to give Glove80 a look. And since it sounds like you prefer light switches like me, there’s a version with pro red switches (35g).
    Maybe also hop in to MoErgo’s Discord and get some ideas there.

    I started with a Ferris Sweep (34 keys), and while I loved a lot of things about it, those weren’t enough keys for me, I had to compromise too much + I realized a wireless split would be much more comfortable to me than a wired one.
    Although I like having the option to use it wired.
