From some angles it looks cool, but from others it's not very well designed. When it was first unveiled I liked the boldness, but in the end even the design comes apart rather quickly.

Another unfortunate accident in Russia.

Ich habe mit allen Paketdiensten schon schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, aber eben auch gute. Nur DPD ist perfekt konsistent.

Sagt eigentlich schon alles, auch interessant die Gesamtnote bei dieser Verteilung.

Das frage ich mich auch manchmal. Es muss ja seinen Grund haben.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

OK, aber wird nicht auch getrackt, wie viele Pakete "nicht zustellbar" waren. Diese Zahlen müssen bei DPD ja fast verrückt hoch sein, das muss doch auffallen.

Was ich nicht verstehe: warum dann nicht das Paket einfach wirklich abliefern? Wie sehr kann man seinen Job hassen?

Kann ich mir gut vorstellen.

All I really wanted was SQ42 back when I supported it on Kickstarter. With my 20 bucks there's no regret, but it's quite funny where things have gone since then.

I install the latest alpha once every year and am both amazed and disappointed.

I don't expect SQ42 to be released before 2030 and I do expect it to be a buggy, unoptimized mess when it finally arrives.

I've been thoroughly entertained all those years, though.

Das schlimmste an Social Media ist, dass wirklich jeder immer zu allem seine dumme Meinung kundtun muss.

Oh, that's not an unpopular opinion. This whole mess will be the core of wild conspiracy theories for years to come.

Just to be clear, I don't partake in this train of thought.

Don't worry, they'll experience easily preventable deases, too.

 

I stumbled across this man laying out the current situation with such clarity, I just had to share it.

 

I just canceled my Amazon Prime membership, something I was almost afraid of. Phew, it's nice to have that off my back.

I've been shopping less and less at Amazon anyway and barely used prime video, so I'll probably won't even notice the difference.

 
 

Results were favorable. The trackball provided a 60.1% increase in throughput over the standard controller for novice participants. More impressively, it was shown to provide a 58.7% increase in throughput for participants already adept with the use of a standard controller.

 

I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

No social media site can exist without a section dedicated to trackballs, the arguably superior input method.

The previous communities went stale, so here is my take on it. Looking forward to welcoming the tens of people interested in this topic!

 

Since I didn't find a community for this philosophy yet, I created one. If you are interested, join!

This baby is a chunky one: the base is a hefty GMMK 3 Pro with Glorious Fox Red Heavy switches. I put Cerakey black caps on it.

How would I describe it? Typing is almost ethereal, with the weight of the caps doing a lot of the work. It sounds very deep and creamy with the space bar punctuating each word like Thor's hammer, if you hit it hard enough. The caps are an absolute dream to touch, they feel warm and so, so smooth.

I struck gold with this build, typing is just a joy. I will try even more resistant linear switches, though.

Keycaps with rare materials (discuss.tchncs.de)

I've fallen in love with ceramic keycaps and built two very heavy but very satisfying keyboards with them. But now I crave for more.

One thing that I find somewhat disappointing is the fact that I never found any other vendors besides cerakey for ceramic caps. It's not that I don't like them, but I could go for other styles and layouts given the opportunity.

The other thing is that I would like to explore other materials. I've found wooden caps, again only from exactly one vendor and stainless steel caps by yet another single vendor.

What I would much rather try out are aluminum and glass, both materials I could imagine being pretty great for typing.

And maybe there are other options I haven't even considered yet?

Give me your best shops/stores with rare materials caps, I'm really interested!
