  • I love how that saying this is a software glitch is somehow supposed to make it okay? Motherfuckers, you took time and money to develop the thing. In doesn’t matter that it wasn’t supposed to be deployed right now. It matters that it was developed at all.

    This is my tinfoil opinion, but I wouldn’t be surprised that it was done on purpose to gauge the public reaction and setting the pace of rollout.

    The timing is too perfect knowing damn well that Republicans won’t legislate that.



  • 1500$ because you don’t have bulk parts, otherwise it could go down by a significant amount.

    However, the 5k doesn’t include all the hours of engineering, which costs a lot more than the hardware.

    With that said, you are absolutely right that we get dog shit computers for the price. The amount of hours I’ve spent in my life reducing the cost for a board is insane. And bear in mind that this wasn’t for high volume production neither where hardware cost reductions have a big impact.

    I hope that this guy go on to do his own thing and doesn’t get gobbled by the corporate machine (or become the corporate machine).


  • There are a lot of open source mechanical keyboards out there and with a bit of elbow grease, anyone that is a little bit tech savvy can figure out how to link all the information together and do something with that.

    However, the thing that stands out to me is the integration of all the parts.

    Integration between hardware and firmware is a bitch, and add to that the mechanical integration as well. This dude hopefully has a bright future ahed of him, because he certainly has the chops.






  • Here is a bunch of random tips to become more comfortable with the terminal.

    Do absolutely everything that you can on the terminal.

    When you install something, enable the verbose if possible and snoop around the logs to see what is happening.

    If an app or an install fails, look at the logs to see what is the issue, and try to fix it by actually resolving the error itself first instead of finding the commands on the internet to fix your issue.

    Instead of googling for your command options, use the help menu from the application and try to figure out how to use the command from there.


  • Unless you are at the edge of the firmware and software, this isn’t something you work with a lot.

    When you transfer files or data to a memory space, you can’t drop the whole file/data to memory directly because the resources are limited on the cpu/mcu. It wouldn’t make sense to have a page as big as your biggest theorical data size.

    Page size determine how much data at a time can be transferred into memory.

    In term of performance, writing the page to memory is usually the bottle neck. So 4k vs 64k means you need to write to memory 16 times more and thus making the performance better on 64k page size.




  • This is why I prefaced my comment with the old man bit. There is a lot of exaggeration in my comment.

    My experiences has been that meat substitutes marketed as such are usually chuck full of spices, ultra-processed and just taste bad on their own. 95% of the recipes I make with meat, I often replace with a vegan alternative protein.

    I do think that vegan brands try to appeal to a lot of meat eater and lean hard on the green/healthy marketing, but it has been played out and abused by marketing and doesn’t mean much anymore. Just market the products on their own merits.

    There is so much good vegan food out there, but it’s often branded as the X alternative. IMO, it hurts the product because it pidgeon hole it in that comparison.

    But your points are entirely valid, and my point are really just an uneducated opinion without backing data. I just know that I avoid vegan products marketed as meat alternative to X because they taste terrible 99% of the time.



  • My old man yelling at cloud rant :

    1. i hate vegan products that try to position themselves as the vegan replacement to a non vegan product. They have their own qualities, and it hurts the product that it is compared to the meat alternative. If someone wants to eat chicken, no amount of marketing and spices will make it taste like chicken and will always be inferior to their meat counterparts for the meat eater.

    2. Vegan recipes on internet are 95% terrible. They try to put 100 flavors in one meal. Take whatever recipe your normally eat with meat and simply replace the protein for a vegan protein of your choice (pvt, tofu, bean curds, etc). Grill your tofu to your heart content, make that bean curd extra delicious by dunking it in soy sauce and eat with vegetables and rice or make a simple rice and bean with a side of fresh avocado.

    3. There are so many good vegan products with fucking terrible marketing. Meat eaters will not change their habits because you green wash your marketing. Go balls to the wall with that shit.
