I am a big TLK fan so I opted to get a Keychron K8 - it’s got bluetooth, solderless replaceable switches, VIA keymapping, RGB LED lighting etc.

Overall I’m very pleased with the keyboard for the price

Just don’t subscribe. When netflix pissed me off, I unsubscribed. When Adobe moved to a subscription based platform, I forced myself to learn alternative applications (although I still have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from 2003 which I am still using on old laptop when needed). When Microsoft started charging a subscription to use “office” apps, I switched to LibreOffice. During Covid when I wasn’t using my gym membership I cancelled it and used that $75/month savings to start building a home gym setup (it ain’t great, but its better than nothing!)

If something is a subscription, I either find an alternative program/service, or simply don’t use it.

Thanks, kbin uses the @ symbol instead of ! to link to communities/magazines :-)

Hahaha, true, you could fit maybe a few jpg photos on a floppy

I was curious about that 6.5 mile claim, and you are correct - while large chunks were thrown thousands of feet away, the plume of concrete dust expanded 6.5 miles away.

Pretty sure it was intentional. I can’t find it now but there was a decision by Elno to not add the water systems to the launch pad which would have prevented the pad from being destroyed. They knew it would get damaged so decided not to mitigate the problem.

Pretty cool. I won’t buy a first gen product like this (personal policy to let early adopters work out the bugs first), but it’s great to see more wireless keyboards with more features.

Big bro was trying to sign up for ChatGPT to play with it. The new signup has a difficult captcha that my bro could not solve - it had 9 puzzles and wouldn’t tell him he failed until he finished all 9. Finally after four or five times I told him to just do the audio test and he passed that one on the first try. But damn it’s getting harder and harder to prove you’re a real human!
