That is relevant to my interests. I'll have to pay a visit to Baltimore.

Good thing real life doesn't follow videogame logic

Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It's like Indian poutine. Amazing.

I bet they've got websites with RSS feeds. Pick up an RSS reader and subscribe to their news & announcements page.

Neat, thanks for sharing!

Their Cyborg is really great. Takes some time to get the muscle memory, but it really does the job well.

Do you think we could ever have that future?

That's interesting, but personally, I don't see a lot of point. I'm totally willing to learn about other people's workflows and use cases though. I just have a hard time envisioning a need for two pointers at once other than edge cases like resizing lots of windows or something. Maybe 3d modeling, for better moving/rotating control?

In most cases, it seems like the way to get more efficient is to stop using the mouse and fire up a terminal. If you just want more buttons on your mouse so you can have a full keyboard, maybe try the Azeron Cyro? I haven't used it personally, though I do use their Cyborg for games.

I think they tend to be more interesting too, yeah.

I'd rate them about the same, personally. Though Brooks is at least just derivative and juvenile; Goodkind gets increasingly self indulgent.

Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.

First time I ever saw in-car GPS was arrive 2003 when I was hitchhiking in Japan. Heading the car just give directions was mind-blowing; it was like being in a William Gibson novel.

At 60mph with a 2 second following distance, you'd need about 176 feet, so you'd want 3 car lengths with 50 foot cars.

 

Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware.

Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this:

There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well.

The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with?

Thanks!
