That’s disappointing, but not surprising. Cherry was very conservative with their switches for such a long time that they got lapped by the OEMs that initially were just making poor clones. I thought they were finally showing some initiative when they released the pre-made Ergo-Clears as well as RGB MX Clears, but I guess it was too little too late.
Yeah, DBeaver used to be unusable, but it is quite decent these days. I was really unhappy with Datagrip, so I decided to give it another try and I am glad I did.
As far as this tool goes, I don’t love the idea of having my tools in the browser, so this won’t work for me, but it is a cool project nonetheless.
Unsurprising, but still shitty. Par for the course for the company these days.
This is true, and is why I annoyingly have to keep robots.txt on my unpublished domains. Google does honor them for the most part, for now.
I just looked in detail through their privacy policy, and it looks like if you use their “service” they are collecting quite a bit of data, certainly more than I would have expected. I only use stand alone, non-federated homeservers and I have everything disabled as far as telemetry, etc, but I think you’ve convinced me to keep an eye on the other clients. I last test drove several last year and all of them were either lacking features I needed or had issues.
Are you specifically referring to the mobile client of Element? i wasn’t away of anything with the desktop client that has anything to do with location.
Perfect! Though we shouldn’t give Netflix and co any ideas on more classics to dredge up and ruin.
Oh, I remember ed! He’s the talking horse from that old black and white show, right?
Wow, that is very disappointing. I had started using startpage as a Google alternative. While it still may be preferable to Google specifically, their mail product is definitely out.
My current favorite music player on PC is Quod Libet. It gives a bit of the old FB2K vibe with how its music selection works as well as all the plugins. I use it on Linux, but I know they have a Windows version as well.
In high school, I used to look for the most offensive bumper stickers possible. My favorite was from a band I liked that said “Genitorturers sodomized my honor student”. Let’s just say that parents of other kids did not like it.
I heard it spoken first as well, but I ended up seeing it in text form not long after. I think it would have been more confusing if that hadn’t been the era of internet companies thinking they were clever if they dropped a letter (usually a vowel).
I’ve never heard it pronounced any other way than “engine x”.
Other than customization, which honestly will always be cumbersome, it sounds like your issues are with the key caps, switches, and layout. I suspect you will get used to the lay out, but I have no patience for switches or caps I don’t like. Normally, I’d say that you should just swap out the key caps and/or switches and most of the problems you mention go away, but the Q1 has a far less common layout so that makes replacing the key caps more of an issue. I am not a fan of the stock caps on the Keychron either and I’d have already had replacement caps lines up if I bought one.
In the end, the Q1 is expensive enough that if you are not liking it, I’d return it and get something else. There is no way I’d personally go for a “regular keyboard” (by which I assume you mean a cheap rubber dome keyboard), but I’d probably get one that had a more standard layout and maybe something a little smaller since you are used to using a laptop.
They have these at my local Whole Foods too, I was horrified the first time I saw it. I have yet to see a single person use these devices, and I hope that is the common behavior.
Was the TV you got from Sceptre? I got one recently as a dumb TV and it was quite cheap. No complaints thus far, but also managed my expectations in display and speaker quality from a $150 TV.
I’ve seen a few caps like this, maybe not more impractical. I think it is asking to rip the stem right out of the switch or tear the whole socket out, but hey, what do i know?
My “rack” consisted entirely of old laptops, two of which were eeepcs, for years and it worked great. I replaced them all with a single NUC later heh
If wanting to have cool oscilloscopes and blinkenlights is wrong then I don’t want to be right.
I was an early Plex user and I ditched it completely when they first started the cloud account bullshit. There weren’t as many good options at the time, but I just switched to a very simple dlna media server that my TVs supported. Now of course we have a wealth of options and Plex makes even less sense to me, but I can see lots of people will keep using it due to inertia.
