Cameras are dumb... even the best ones will try to turn everything to sludge in auto mode. It can be very frustrating. Having a camera that allows you to shoot RAW (doesn't have to be expensive), in manual mode makes a world of difference. You can push/pull your white and color balance after the fa...

The promised picture is here :

The keycaps are shipped, some people recieved their package today, everyone else should recieve theirs soon. I'll take some pictures tomorrow for those who still need to wait for international proxies.

It's not software. It's still good old hardware, just conveniently pre-packaged and with programmable switches inside, so you can connect practically any component to practically any pin (which makes PCB routing SO MUCH EASIER). And quite interesting hardware at that. The FPGA and ASIC like aspects...

It's a DNS record (type PTR) that's used for reverse DNS (looking up the name of a given IP address). Some mail servers use reverse DNS to check if an E-mail is really from the person (well, mail server) it claims to be sent by.

Sigh...there are so many chat/message mediums. An old man like me can't keep up. XKCD sums it up well This seems wrong. Don't twitter DM, google docs chat tab and hangouts require e-mail? And according to this there should be someone who refuses to use anything but IRC: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics...

According to alex GMK is on schedule and the expected delivery date to him is the 24th. He's aiming to get them shipped out within a week.

On computers, I use seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC: 1488462655 . People should be taught this in primary school, so that when they see, for instance 2488462655, they have an inkling how far in the future that is. Wait ! that date is no possible ! Time ends on 2147483647 And that's where both of...

That site seems to be up again, but a mirror probably can't hurt. It also took me way too long to figure out those are OS X keymap files an not config files for some converter.

Cherry officially states they don't produce MX yellow switches:

I don't think I have a 1.5mm allen wrench, so I voted Phillips.

The GB is here, but it's been closed for 10 days now. That being said kbdfr tried to get in two days ago. I can't tell you if he was successful, though.

Sprich vielleicht mal gerade mit LeandreN, ich glaube der wollte auch noch beitreten.

Only MX, common types of simplified ALPS and buckling spring from now on?
You'd leave stuff like beamsprings and striped amber ALPS behind?
You Monster.

Are there keycaps in cherry profile (or non oem profile) which are backlight compatible aka have translucent legends? I also want to know this, Oracle. I spot this but have no way / don't know how to communicate with the seller to confirm that this is Cherry profile. https://world.taobao.com/item/3...

I think you're over the extended final deadline now by about 4 hours. You might still be lucky, but good luck... Die Bestellphase ist nun beendet. Werde noch auf alle PMs antworten im laufe des Abends. Da sollte es aber keine Probleme geben. Translates to: The order phase is now over. I'll still res...

Exactly what I re-watched after seeing the magical words "honey badger".

Ha, you fool. That won't work on me, the video is not available in my country.

No. You can however ask someone to proxy it to you.

How about marking the five keys (this one + the one left of the enter on the home row) as "optionally offer in modifier colour"?

The experience of Windows is like Stockholm syndrome. If you’re coming to it fresh, nothing makes sense and the whole thing is and endless frustration. Nothing quite works the way it logically should. The rough ideas seem to be there, but the every detail of the implementation is somewhere between ...

I like that they refer to it as space saving or compact on the first page in all languages, except German. In German they call it "Text-/Datentastatur (85 Tasten)" which means "text/data keyboard (85 keys)". I Imagine the manual writing process like this: "You can't just call something compact in Ge...
