Leading industrialist Scrooge McDuck "wiped out" after bold investment in NFTs undermined by Flintheart Glomgold acquiring access to a web browser with "save image" menu option.
The cheapest #mechanicalkeyboard keycaps available now seem to be the random ANSI sets with a "clear shine through" lettering shot.
I guess the diversity of KWJIBO Amazon-brand $25 RGB keyboards with MX-alike switches drives the market.
Surprisingly, you have to pay MORE for featureless solid-colour caps to laser to a desired legend.
The manufacturers making generic non-LED keyboards are probably making rubber domes, and/or are probably firms with captive tooling not selling on Aliexpress.
Big "I want a #flp02 but there's no way I'm spending USD250 for a case" energy
The base chassis is a Gamemax Titan Silent. The intake bezel and top panel are 3D-printed. The side trim is stripwood (should have used plastic stock). The display module is a Digole serial unit, being fed system stats with custom code. A sticker covers the original top-mounted port openings.
A large beige PC tower under a desk, showing two optical drives and a 3.5 inch floppy drive. A small display on the top left corner reads 3746MHz, next to two pairs of USB ports, front audio jacks, and a large red power/reset switch. The top bezel is trimmed with a grey and olive sticker. While the look is reminiscent of a mid-1990s 486 clone, the subtle differences imply there is much more modern hardware inside.
Business idea: A metal fab that specializes in perfect-fit steel replacement panels for modern PC cases where you can only get the layout or features you want with a delicate tempered-glass side panel.
I like my Linux laptop that crashes once or twice a day. I like my Mastodon account where you can't really talk to anyone about anything but webdev or Rust. I like my Lenovo tablet that sometimes switches into Japanese for no reason. I like my Steam Deck that needs unique settings fiddling per game. I'm willing to put up with some friction & frustration from my computers & software. But what I can't abide, and will twist my life into pretzels to avoid from my computers & software, is malice.
@mcc I've been trying to say this to my brother, who spends many hours a day trying to fight with Windows to do what he wants. (Some of this is untreated OCD, but some is legit tech frustration.)
It's not a system you can negotiate with in good faith.
The KPI people took over a long time ago, and that means achieving your personal aims is just a little side effect they may allow if it gooses the numbers for Live 365 Copilot Pass Live Ultimate Live (or whatever they're calling Office now)
A group of three PC cards, one an AMD Radeon EX9060XT, the middle an Nvidia GeForce RTS5080 and the last a Realtek 10Gbps Ethernet card so you can not lag.
@NanoRaptor 1960s B&K VTVM. Half the chassis volume is taken up by a big roll of different dial scales for when you change to different ranges or measurement types.
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Dizzy Dragon Plush. It might look cute, but this is how dragons went extinct. They flew in circles, got too dizzy, and flew straight into the ground, instantly breaking their necks. Dragons were not smart creatures. https://collabs.shop/slpzru
Wait what? Microsoft edit on Linux? Apparently it is now open source software by MS and works on Linux or Unix. It is written in Rust. https://github.com/microsoft/edit such a weird time line 🙃
@nixCraft Disappointed, because I was hoping it was the QBasic-based one for DOS.
I have an XT-class machine and use PC-DOS 2000 for it, but IBM's "E" editor is a bit less friendly and of course doesn't have the BASIC interpreter mode.
Immortality would force them to consider the long term. OUR monsters know that their ticket is punched at 80, 90, 100 tops, mostly before the bill comes due, so they have license to wreck the place.
I sort of want to read a novella about a modern Captain of Capitalism turned, who doesn't learn this and in the final act he's staggering starving and alone forever in the world he burnt through in exchange for three record-breaking quarters up front
Stop accusing me of being a Russian asset just because I posted that Vladimir Putin is a tall and handsome man. Yes, I was paid $100,000 but the money came in AMERICAN dollars. Yes, they told me that I was doing Mother Russia a great service but the emails were in ENGLISH. I am the victim here.
@lowqualityfacts Of all major world leaders, only him and maybe Trudeau could possibly pull off a topless photo shoot,, and you know he's the only one who'd volunteer.
