Re: Deskthority drawn by AI
Anyway, we made kbdfr a moderator because he is so often the voice of reason here on Deskthority. Squabble with him if you wish, but do so while aware that we are most all on his side. ;) He's a moderato r?? Great. "The enemy within".

Re: Deskthority drawn by AI
You mean... you don't want to see Hitler's computer terminal? You don't want to see Fauci ripping out his own eye socket? Dear dear. What is this world coming to.

Re: Deskthority drawn by AI
It was only after the war that the Allies found out just how much more advanced German computer terminals really were.
I also like the fact that Hitler seems to have 3 arms - something those damn historians deliberately hide from us.

Re: Deskthority drawn by AI
The AI really captures the essence of Fauci. I'm particularly fond of the last image. He's ripping out his eye socket - and yet he's smiling.
Of course, this one is not without its charms:

Re: Watch Photo Thread
I always heard LED was terrible with battery life, but I still haven't had to change the battery. It's now almost three years and I still haven't had to change the batteries on this 1977 Birks LED watch. It's still bright and responsive and keeps time as well as any modern quartz.

Re: What's your piece of keyboard unobanium?
Holy shit! That must be a new beam spring record.
I remember when I missed out on one of these because it went for an insane $390 when I only wanted to pay $250 max. Oh how times change.

This is weird - a keypad with flat (illuminated?) buttons with strange symbols, made in Switzerland - $32.99 buy it now. s-l1600.jpg https://www.ebay.com/itm/175199428421 The symbols remind me of the ones in Alien. https://typesetinthefuture.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/alien_composite_keyboard.jpg

Re: Victor 9000 keyboard conversion
I love the look of these Victor keyboards. I've been on the lookout for one on the cheap. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time. Has anyone here tried the pads from Texelec? Every mention of them I've seen anywhere has testified that they are excellent. I personally haven't used them, but th...

That's hilarious and concerning at the same time. Sounds like he could really damage something if he wanted to.
