In the Netherlands: https://www.marktplaats.nl/

I'm assuming you live where I live.

Zombie games never really appealed to me, but this does seem fun!

Wow, very nice finish! I have friends with a 3d-printer, but I don't think I know anyone with a laser 😅

Thankfully, I'm not even sure how either of those taste 😅

Ah, I'm lucky then, here in the Netherlands they sell all kinds of nice syrups in the supermarket! Still looking for a nice cola taste, but otherwise I have cherry, tropical fruit, orange, pear... Oh, and green iced tea, which tastes great too.

What do you reckon made you stop using it? What are you drinking now?

Oh, wow, good find! These look much better than what I'd found so far.

Ah, yes, I had heard of Xenia before! Must say I prefer Tux, myself 😅

Yes, I have that as a keycap for my keyboard as well... But even less than Microsoft do I want to be associated with Macs, really 🙈

I have no Blender skills whatsoever, so if you want to give it a go that'd be grand, of course!

I have looked for other Tux caps, but this was the best one I found.

 

Has anyone made a half-decent Tux keycap to replace the ubiquitous Windows key with? I found this 3d-printable one but I can't say I'm crazy about its looks... I mean, look at this:

A Tux keycap that looks like a time-weathered relief

(To be clear, this is not my keyboard.)

Maybe the way to go is a generic penguin-themed keycap?

I read in a YouTube comment that the ceramic keycaps that are on the market sometimes have the problem of the spring in the triggers not being strong enough to push the keycap back up. Might be good to look into.

All right, so thinking in solutions here—sandboxed applications, no password prompt for updates, and a more alert-y warning when a password prompt is shown. Surely there's a distro that does the first two things, already?

And also, if no password is needed for updates, the average user will never see a password prompt. Which would make a clandestine .sh file with a password pop-up inherently more worrying.

I'll have a look-see at some modern distros, I'm pretty sure the no-password-updates is quite normal these days. Also, that does seem to remove some of the necessity of sandboxed applications, if all applications are installed though the official repositories.

 

Just got this puppy second-hand for a reasonable price. A Keychron V5 Max... I would've liked another brand, but these were just the only ones with VIA I could find second-hand nearby.

The plan is to slowly customize it with second-hand switches and keycaps, 'cuz I can't really justify buying new stuff... Financially and environmentally!

Also part of the plan is opening it up to add some foam and do a tape mod... Curious what that'll do. I already stuck some painter's tape on the inside of the space bar, backspace, backward slash and enter keys, which makes a big difference already!

...But man, it's hard to resist the temptation to order something new anyway. Also, does anyone have any tips for making the key with the Windows logo into a little Tux? I found this, but I don't think that would ever look actually pretty...
