You may read that the moon has something to do with eclipses. I have never seen the moon yet. You do not see the moon. So near the sun, it is as completely inv The definition of word is "average length of a word in characters including spaces, numbers, and other printable characters". So that's 162...

Right - it's a chording keyboard.

Here's a video of someone doing 62wpm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI8X4JTBrew

Since we're seeing people getting 60+wpm we can't call it a gimmick.

Anyone played with one of these?

I don't see it replacing my F-122 any time soon, but an input for my phone it may become?

Assuming @__red__ is game if we can’t reach him

You called?

Has @DMA been around?

He's been away for a while, but I can contact him OOB if you need him.

To be clear, my daily driver is an F-122 at full incline so I'm pretty much typing at a 45 degree angle

For 300x200mm (4 layer):
1 -> $300
10 -> $78
100 -> $25

The technology has existed for some time to make roll-up musical keyboards, and now foldable phones and displays are making debuts. Should it not be possible to use the same technologies to make flexible keyboard PCBs? I just haven't found the lack of curve to be any issue. Try it before you overco...

Hey Red: does this board really lose nothing by dodging foam entirely? Are there any downsides at all in feel and sound? I uploaded some samples above. I may re-record them because I'm not really happy with how they sound compared to reality. The keyboard sounds amazing. much better than in the rec...

Greetings! Just over a week ago I received a package and in that package was wcass' unique Model F compact SSK. I've been using it as my daily-driver for about a week now. I've now gotten enough information to give a good, solid review and consent to tear it down and comment on its construction. Gee...

Another thing to bear in mind, unicomp sell replacement parts (including new membranes) so it will always be repairable.

I'd better do a teardown and review of it

So I came across this keyboard on my travels... it's buckling spring. Anyone recognize it?

I'm not at the house so I can't double-check - but from memory they're 3mm LEDs

FYI - Unicomp has the industrial case on clearance so replacing that warped case will be easy

Unicomp will custom print the Ctrl text on that key for you.

Because if your hopping an interconnect it causes latency. It should be clever enough to say , ok that app is only using 4 threads , lets keep all them threads on node0. But if you have a massively parallel task that is not impacted by latency like a big ass render it should have access to all node...

Why would you want to do that? That limits you severely.

You'd be limited to the number of cores your system has.

... because physics.

We can't make them faster, we can only make them parallel.

Your average software developer is completely incapable of writing software on more than one core.

Has anyone here experimented with either Pad Printing or Dye Sublimation?

I'm interested in doing this to IBM keycaps for the record.

Wait a cotton-pickin' minute. There are companies that do colour printing on caps(!)

I heard of it but I'm not fluent. Not sure I want to put myself into it considering all the work I have to do with the forum/wiki update. It's one of those things that would require a somewhat steep learning curve up front but will save your bacon (and rez the pig) over time. Maybe not this time......

If demand is high enough to fuel prices higher than the intrinsic value of an item, it means a speculative mania has probably arisen around the item and the bubble created will eventually burst.

What a well thought out post, I can only give you my viewpoint: What is the intrinsic value of a vintage computer and related items, and how useful are they? Modern computer technology is intrinsically superior and more useful for the average person than older tech, which is why modern computers gen...

(more importantly, if you fsck-up - you can rewind all your configuration changes, upgrades, OS builds... etc).

I'll spin up an example VM for you to play with if you'd like a demo.

Well, it got a permanent station in my lab. I'm building a computer for it right now.

I will confess, I'm actually kinda taken by it...
