Are those 3D printed replacement caps or something?

I love it! I use a Model M daily for work and remapped my RAlt to a windows key.

My grandfather lives in the south, and for a number of years after Tesla became a big name, he genuinely thought it was “Tesler” because that’s just how everyone he knew was pronouncing it

It reminds me of the time someone dropped a camera on a skull in the ATM cave in Belize. https://www.7newsbelize.com/sstory.php?nid=22514 People are stupid…

(And for the record, the skull was not fixed when I visited the cave in ~2014, despite what the article said. Hopefully they fixed it after that).

🤞

That’s incredible

Tbh I’m surprised you know what a glockenspiel is but not a xylophone, lol (For the record… it’s pretty much just a bigger glockenspiel, yeah)

We’ve all got those plants that just love to die no matter how much we want them to stay alive… keep at it! You’ll find a friendly one someday :)

What’s the one that looks like a rock? Awesome haul! Always love your updates :)

Oh this is gonna add some awesome stickers to my iOS keyboard

That’s depressing god damn

Not sure they did… I’ve never even heard of it before until just now

Agreed. If it isn’t pushy, and it’s a FOSS service, I don’t mind asking for a donation every now again again

For sure! I’m not always the best at responding immediately, but if you’ve got any other questions, feel free to chat me.

The absolute best thing I ever did in regards to figuring out bike maintenance was to buy a really crappy bike and just try to fix it, similar to what you’ve done. I went into it with the attitude of “if I break stuff, that’s fine, it was super cheap and old anyways” and wasn’t imagining I’d actually get a sound bike out of it. I used park tool YouTube videos mostly, and from that bike (and a few others) I learned how to do pretty much everything maintenance-related short of redoing the seals in a mountain bike fork (and that’s likely coming up soon). Wheel truing is tough but absolutely doable - again, but a really cheap bike (marketplace special), take the wheels off and apart, and just try to get them back together - that’ll force you to true them. Park tool again was an awesome resource for that.

I mean, someone was still bowing to it… just not multiple people

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”

Most of the time, the product itself comes out of engineering just fine and then it gets torn up and/or ruined by the business side of the company. That said, sometimes people do make mistakes - in my mind, it’s more of how they’re handled by the company (oftentimes poorly). One of the products my team worked on a few years ago was one that required us to spin up our own ASIC. We spun one up (in the neighborhood of ~20-30 million dollars USD), and a few months later, found a critical flaw in it. So we spun up a second ASIC, again spending $20-30M, and when we were nearly going to release the product, we discovered a bad flaw in the new ASIC. The products worked for the most part, but of course not always, as the bug would sometimes get hit. My company did the right thing and never released the product, though.

I’ve had it on my daily driver for 6 or 7 years now and it makes me smile every time I see it even still. Reminds me of my childhood :)
