It's possible. Just do an image search on aliexpress.

Exactly. Every year they fail to explain big amounts of money with lots of digits before the decimal place. We should cut their budget specifically by those amounts until they learn to pass an audit. Then we can look at how much money they need to continue operation.

It seems likely to be caused by vibration, so we could deploy a collection tent and play the seafloor some thumpin' bass.

You have choices. There are desktop keyboards with a very broad range of pressure and keystroke specs, and then there are also mechanical keyboards with swappable keyswitches where you can choose your own specs. They come in both standard and low-profile, low-travel variants. Standard keyswitches seem to have total travel between 4mm and about 3mm, with actuation points anywhere from 2mm to 3mm, and the force varies a lot as well.

I am currently running outemu silent peach switches. I have two boards using silent peach v1 and am about to try silent peach v3s for a new 75% layout keyboard. All versions of these switches are linear and damped for nosie reduction. They also all have 3.3mm travel, the actuation is at about 2mm, and they are factory lubricated so they are very smooth. I have tried Kailh, Outemu, Reddragon, and Cherry switches and so far I like Outemu the best, but I haven't tried lubing genuine Cherry branded switches yet.

I owned an Acer Aspire. It was almost $300 with a single-core Atom and a 10 widescreen display. Some years later I bought the first new laptop in a bunch of years. It was $300 with a 2C2T AMD processor (Zen/Raven Ridge) and a 15" widescreen display.

Netbooks existed because people wanted a cheaper laptop, and they went away because the parts got cheaper and you could get a laptop with actually decent specs for a low price.

I do, too. They should start by cutting the defense budget every year by the amount by which they could not pass the prior year's audit.

Are very low but you need to remember the police are going to take a database with millions of people in it and run their sample against that database.

Now what they should be doing at that point is looking for corroborative evidence but that's not what's going to happen. We already have a couple examples of people being picked up on the basis of DNA evidence and having to fight off a murder charge.

The real problem here is every year crime goes down but every year the media tells you it goes up. So we keep putting more cops on the street and we keep adding more prosecutors but there's less and less for them to do.

They're not going to go find new jobs. They're going to find ways to make it look like they should keep their jobs.

We can't really transition those people into social worker roles either because not only do people not value social workers but the kind of folks were hiring for cops and prosecutors aren't nice people. So they don't make good social workers and they know it.

So we are seeing them aresting innocent people and forcing plea bargains with the threat of decades in jail.

Right now it's mostly DUI's that they do it with but they'll move on to bigger crimes as they need to justify their jobs.

We saw this with Intel and we are now seeing this with Boeing.

Stock BuyBacks starve companies of the funds they need to function. They also guarantee an economic collapse every 8 to 10 years because companies will do Mass layoffs in order to get the cash to do the stock BuyBacks and those Mass layoffs will reverberate through the economy triggering a recession.

We know what we need to do we just need to have the will to do it. We need to stop getting distracted by childish moral panics and focus on our pocketbooks.

It might already be too late. I've said it before but they're coming for your house. We've got about 2,000 people all vying to see who's going to be the first trillionaire. There's simply isn't enough growth in the economy for them to achieve that without seizing other people's property and they're not going to seize each other's, they have class consciousness that we don't.

So the only way to hit that magic number is going to be the start taking people's property away from them and renting it back.

They will use the medical system. Most of us old farts have pills and things we need to live and we periodically need surgeries. Before long you'll mortgage your house to afford the stuff you need to live and you'll fall behind on that mortgage. Then it's just a hop skip and a jump from the bank taking the house and for it being snapped up for cheap on an auction.

The same thing happened in 2008, it was one of the largest wealth transfers in human history All to The top. Only back then at least we still had affordable apartments for people to fall back on. Those are long gone.

That's a brick but I wouldn't mind it if manufacturer is built them a little bit larger. It's annoying to have to play Russian roulette every time you buy a laptop to see if you get one where they got the cooling right so that you actually get the performance that the specs indicate.

I've heard the framework laptops are great but they always seem to be out of stock whenever I'm in the market. Maybe I'll wait it out next time. I have a bad habit though waiting until the thing dies entirely though.

So they're going to get obsessed about this because of abortion. Abortion has been a very useful political issue because the knee-jerk reaction to child killing makes it really easy to create a wedge issue out of it. We literally have documentation from the seventies where Republican strategists got together and worked out that abortion was the perfect issue they would use to control the middle class and steal all their money and property.

So this will fall under the same purview as ivf treatments. It'll basically be considered an abortion.

hyper individualism pushed by billionaires who want to keep us from banding together and opposing their wealth and power is the real problem here.

Underlining all of this is the idea that you don't need science and you don't need civilization because you can always just pray to your personal God and get anything you need. Prosperity Gospel basically.

So you don't have to worry about droughts or your kid getting leukemia or the economy collapsing because if you sow your seed by sending $500 a month to a televangelist or maybe even Donald Trump it'll come back in spades.

Keep in mind you don't need religion to make prosperity Gospel work there is plenty of non-religious prosperity Gospel bastards. Usually various forms of Ponzi scheme.

Religion does tend to make things a little worse though because faith is the belief in things that you don't have evidence for and religion encourages faith.

But religion is absolutely not required to use the basic tools that a ruling class needs to control its population.

Those tools are bigotry, moral panics and prosperity Gospel. When you have the three combined you can have 2,000 people claiming 60% of all wealth in the country. And you can push that percentage closer to 90%. With a little bit of techno feudalism I think we can get it to 98%.

Very soon the billionaires are only going to need a handful of engineers and a handful of thugs to keep the engineers in line.

I don't even want rounded corners. I like sharp windows.

What a typical waste of time.

The Amiga was a dead end. It was awesome for its time and I owned many of them, but the cool stuff you could do with the OS was in many cases predicated on a lack of memory protection and this was also a major drawback. It was good that you could reboot quickly, because it was frequently necessary. The custom chips were however death to backwards compatibility, and the more they were used, the harder it was to update existing software for a new chipset.

PCs started to do the things Amiga did even at the time, for example there were accelerated graphics cards even for Windows 3.1 that would accelerate drawing operations and do bitblits, and the GUS Max would offload some audio processing from the CPU.

Are you OK? You don't seem OK.

Merged with Maemo to become Meego, cancelled in favor of Tizen. The corpse became Sailfish OS.

First of all no you didn't code anything you had a AI crap out a cookie cutter game.

And fucking nfts? Are we going to bring back that tax dodge? Because that's what those were going to be until the IRS said no, you couldn't use the art loophole anymore and you certainly couldn't use it on nfts.

I cannot go a single day without this God forsaken world reminding me that the entirety of human civilization is collapsing. At least not without turning off the internet and any other media device.
