no plans, sorry.

Worth mentioning that this now makes the site completely outside of any GDPR-aligned jurisdiction and your data is no longer safe, and your posts are likely now even moreso being fed into AI to train it.

e: in all likelihood GDPR was breached like fuck during the sale of the website and data was ...

May I be the first to say congratulations webwit for refusing community offers and selling to a couple of bitcoin kids which has led to this outcome! This is the literal hell scenario everyone was worried about and it came to pass.

With permission I am sharing another unique setup - the F104 in Industrial Gray with a Big Enter key and a mix of other Wheelwriter and other keys. The user notes that the big enter key can be installed regularly without having to remove the spring of the | \ key below the backspace (just disable ...

And yet, still not apologizing for announcing your beamspring project in someone else's thread.

I'm wondering, is anyone else's keyboard looking as raggity as mine? This is after about 9 months of daily use.

Physically incapable of apologizing about doing the bad thing that he accuses others of. Either it's bad or it's not, but this is just hypocrisy.

Easily fixable! Just say "man actually that was a really shitty thing for me to do and I'm sorry" and this all blows over!

It appears that you are not reading the text you are copying and pasting, which is wasting your time and everyone's time here.

i actually got two s names confused, it was superfoil's thread that got trashed on: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26126

direct link to the behavior i would like ellipse to apologize for: viewtopic.php?p=491827#p491827

lol another ellipse classic wall of text. I'm not even going to bother quoting it but the reason people shit all over your threads is that you offload your responsibility to support your products onto a community resource, and you don't ever give back to that community in return.

what's worse, you ...

This means all knowledge in recreating these keyboards will be lost to history once again.


IIRC Ellipse had mentioned years ago that when these projects are complete he would write a book detailing the production process and lessons learned from the success and failures (I don't know if ...

The tracking cookies and datamining have begun. lol.

In a wild turn of events, onecommerce people are posting in the Keyboard Institute discord about Deskthority rather than like, actually updating people about the website on the website, so I'll relay it.

I offered this to Pablo in Discord but I will fix DT if OneCommerce pay me in actual money and not guacamole.

Clearly you're the man to run this forum though, fully funded by your plebs of course with you as the sole owner and any profits going in to your pockets alone!


There are no profits to be had when one runs this forum. It might give you a warm and fuzzy feeling (kind of like when peeing in ...

With permission I am sharing (anonymously) feedback that someone sent me. I don't know much about the technical stuff mentioned here. I say it's better to slightly overpower hosting to anticipate an increase in users!

Everything I've ever experienced with gmail is if you don't have SPF and DKIM you're going nowhere. I think my domains that I don't care about as much where I haven't added DMARC records are still deliverable with just that.

Please try and only voice claims that can be substantiated. As soon as anyone starts to make unsubstantiated claims, it kind of makes anything else one claims questionable.
That is inefficient and a waste of energy. Considering the current climate crisis, this ...

Classic ellipse, writing a wall of BS in order to escape any kind of scrutiny. I really think OneCommerce are better owners than this guy lmao

I disagree with the posts above based on my experience with ellipse, and I don’t think he has any bad intentions. I trust he wants to keep the site as-is. I think he’s truly passionate about vintage IBM keyboards and I’m glad he’s producing them. I think debating about what his intentions are isn ...

photekq I would be comfortable around approx. $3,000 to $5,000 at most to cover any shortfall but if we are $5,100 short for example I wouldn't limit myself! It is tough to provide any more specifics as it is very early in the process.

I feel I have been completely forthright for my plans to keep ...

This is classic ellipse tbh, like i don’t dispute he did a very cool thing reproing the model F but he’s always been evasive and kinda slimy when it comes to just being honest about his intentions.

To me it feels like out of the frying pan and into the fire when you’re moving from people who don’t care at all to ‘trust me bro’.

I don’t think ‘give me your money so I can buy this thing and own it outright’ is really a group buy.

The recent several days downtime was long enough to finally get me on "DT" Discord.

I’m just more at home on a forum with persistent state than live text.


Same.

Although, I love Deskthority's IRC channel.

P.S. Since they are offering to sell the forum back to the community, the ball is ...

They're what get called "SKCL Heavy Cream" which are almost certainly not a catalog switch and have no part number we're aware of.

Evidently not fixed as it keeps happening

can't imagine having the site be busted for over 24 hours is very good for the ol' SEO. value slipping away

here we go, site wobble again - wonder if they'll bother fixing it this time
