I was hoping for a “war never changes” moment, but it’s a slow thing, and this was short. In my mind they were right to leave it out. I’ll be surprised if it’s not included in the actual series somewhere.

I risa to da top!

Not very interesting story - in college, I was on the special events committee that brought talent to the campus for entertainment. Sometimes, I was able to meet the talent. We had the pop up video guys come do a talk, afterward they had dinner with the committee members. I ended up getting an invite to intern on the show… but totally blew it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a total idiot, or just didn’t know how to interview yet. Probably a little of both!

Cold brew is less bitter in my experience. I’ve read that the compounds responsible for the bitter taste are less soluble at lower temperatures. Regardless of whether that’s true, cold brew is definitely less bitter, more sweet. It’s how I got out of the habit of adding sweetener.

Perhaps there’s a way to do this via hotspot, but I meant tether via physical connection to the router. Some routers do offer failover to secondary networks. Possibly with qos to prevent scarfing, as you put it ;)

They mean using something with a cellular radio. A router, or a tethered cellphone.

No notifications, and a banner popover when you run it, which some people will find annoying

It’s an easy way to get started with your first shortcut though!

I don’t have any reason to not trust OP, but the likelihood of this conversation happening at ALL seems incredibly unlikely. Never mind that it is described as successful.

If true, this is amazing.

I’m surprised that was enough - don’t underestimate a kids ability to make their own pixie dust out of whatever they have around. Now there’s plant soil and sugar on the floor too.

Are you a photographer for a newspaper or magazine?

If the GUI key is tapped twice it switches to the windows base layer, double tap again and it goes to the Mac OS (default) layer. This is done using a “tap dance”, look for “td” in the map to find it.

This could easily a game changer for me! My brain warps whenever I require a multi key/layer function, while I’m connected to a windows box from my mac.

I think you can share layouts from FK Caps

Nice, I’m on mobile but will make a note to check this out later.

Honestly, this project, caps, and key map… I feel like you are me, lol

I have an updated set of caps that I’ll order soon, I’m currently tinkering with the backlight glyphs. Still not quite satisfied.

Do you know if their system allows to share designs as a starting point? I know you can save for later.

I like your caps idea, I toyed with dye sublimation but then decided against that (clear stickers would have been way easier).

Thanks! I was happy-ish with the result. I created the font from a handwritten script I use when I send greeting cards. I didn’t find a way to keep the ink from rubbing off though, so they never lasted very long. I tried lacquering them, but likely didn’t do a very good job - I can be aggravatingly impatient.

My encoders are mostly mapped to arrow keys.

I think that’s almost what I’d do too - I’d like an easier way to select text when composing email/whatever, so I dream of a single key whole-word select function. I’d map it to a (variable) shift arrow, depending on whether I’m on the MacBook or the windows box.

Side note - I noticed your map has both windows and Mac specific commands - I didn’t know that was possible. Are these separate layers, or is the keyboard somehow aware of the OS it is attached to?

i can’t remember their name right now, but these are the custom MBK caps, yeah? I’ve been designing a similar set, where the layer characters are on the caps. I actually printed up transparent stickers in 2020 with this goal in mind.

Also, what do you have the scrollers mapped to?

You snapped the stirring paddle??

While that surprises me, I can’t speak to the durability of that part; I threw it away and use a regular spoon.

I’ve had 2 of these for about a decade now, using daily, and they are still working great.

Do you think it’s fair to say that one size does not fit all, so a giant list of self hosted options for people to choose from, is itself awesome?

The benefit of self hosting boils down to being able to make your own choices. Having a full list of options to choose from and make your own decision fits this community better (for better or worse) than someone else curating that thing for you.
