TIL: there are people who don’t sort by “New”

it sounds like it’s going to be even more annoying than even @skarn@discuss.tchncs.de envisions – if you’re determined to go down this path, it will mean, at the minimum, opening up the keyboard you have to see what options the PCB supports before even thinking about purchasing new keycaps:

• 8BitDo does offer some of their boards with ISO layouts BUT according to one Reddit thread, they’re missing the symbol key between left shift and Z – a quick image search shows renders with that key in place so “your mileage may vary” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• check the PCB to see if 8BitDo used a universal PCB (supports both ANSI and ISO including the missing symbol key)
• if the PCB meets those requirements, then:
  • plan on desoldering and resoldering switches
  • plan on moving stabilizers

as far as the actual keycaps are concerned

• 8BitDo commissions their own AF SA profile keycaps for their projects
• you can get C64 style ISO keycaps but it really depends on availability – the two primary sources are Signature Plastics’ SA Retro set and Drop’s MT3 Retro set (it looks like the C64 Ultimate will be using the MT3 set)

nothing saying you can’t get a separate numpad and place it on the opposite side of your board from your mouse

You’re unbelievable.”

yep, MTNU Susu at that point – I still really like the spherical tops, but currently I’m using a custom Yuzu Keycaps set so I can give myself lots of hints

• fitting your layout into a standard 60% case is a pretty common test case (I’ve gone through a lot of iterations of my own 42-key layout including a phase of trying to fit it into one of my 60% cases) – Montsinger’s Rebound and dcpedit’s TeeShirt are classic examples
• with any of the ergo-mech boards, there’s always a balance between minimizing finger reach versus minimizing chords – no-more-than-1-key-travel versus holding-down-4-keys-to-get-1-letter
• if you’re focused on prose, your next step could be looking at one of the keywell designs (Dactyl, Charybdis, Glove80) – work really well if you live with your hands on the keyboard all day long

• -auto-orient – auto-orient will read from EXIF
• -strip – strip will remove all metadata
• WARNING: if you’ve already used -strip, then -auto-orient will do nothing

Logseq is planning on moving to a database model (database is the source of truth) whereas Obsidian is staying with your text files always being the source of truth

in addition to RISC-V, China is also backing LoongArch (Loongson’s successor to MIPS)

China’s already started by cutting out the US and doing better off by it

(wiþ, ðat, ðe)

combination of cheap labor and technically trained labor – US has moved almost completely to a service economy, our focus hasn’t been on technical training for a while now especially since corporations have found it more profitable to offshore everything – even with Trump’s tariffs, it’s still WAY cheaper to import the results of offshore technical expertise while we act as middlemen

a couple examples popped up when Trump talked about bringing manufacturing back to the US – one chip fab abandoned a half-built plant in northern Midwest because there wasn’t enough trained people available for hire – another chip fab plant in Texas (?) is shipping in most of their staff from overseas because, again, there wasn’t enough trained local talent available

I think the only real advantage for the Pixel (and Nexus) series was they came with stock Android – no worrying about manufacturer overlays and carrier overlays adding their own levels of bloatware and delaying updates
