Last week there were so many apps added to my teams that I couldn't see the chats anymore.

Should have repented, because now you’re in hell

Teams is the old new SharePoint, and it will be the same unmanageable mess

Lotus Notes enters the chat

The mikefive is my dream work keyboard. It's two keys extra from what I have currently but I know I can find something to do with the extra cluster keys


I have a 34 key split and it's decently comfortable. I have my mods mirrored on both halves so depending on the non-mod key of the shortcut I use the opposing hand for mods.

Take your time, the GAS is real and expensive !

All jokes aside, ordering small batches of PCBs is unfortunately very expensive, especially if you have a larger size.

If you ever feel the itch of going towards ergonomic split keyboards, you'll find plenty of ~40% splits that use reversible PCBs for both halves which allows for cheap batches. Typically you get 5 PCBs with JLC and that gives you enough to build one full keyboard for work and one for home.

Unlikely. I caught my [nearly perfect] unicorn, but I'm not telling you what it is, because a.) it is too embarrassing and b.) don't wanna ruin your chase :-)

There are some hints I can tell you though:

  + it's low profile (Kailh)
  + it's TKL 80% and 100%
  + it's available ANSI and ISO
  + it's wireless
  o it's not split (I like it this way but it depends on personal taste)
  - it's NOT hot swappable
  - it's not QMK / ZMK
  
Probably I'm going to work on the hot-swappable thing via Mill-Max 7305 or 3305 (already ordered a pack), but the soldering will really take time, even if I use soldering paste and I have to order a second one for experimens.


But is it linked ? Cars have been getting bigger and bigger cars (specifically SUVs) are linked to car crashes to be more lethal.

Are total car crashes on the rise ? How does that figure compare to the amount of cars on the road ?


With a couple of friends, we did a 0 caffeine challenge for a week. First to drink any caffeinated drink would have to get the first round of drinks after work on Friday.

Knowing the first couple of days I go without coffee I'm pretty slow, I started on the Saturday rather than the planned Monday.

On Tuesday I was getting tested for Covid because I was feeling feeverish (no actual fever), had cramps and intense pain in my back. By the end of the week I was feeling a little better. On Friday, we all had a cup of coffee together, no one had lost the challenge.

All that to say that never again will I underestimate the drug.


I think Ahoy answers the question in this video [1]. I'm not sure and I'm watching it again to check

EDIT : Wikipedia says the first one was called Ultimate Soundtracker so probably from that

I'm using a physical keyboard on the nothing phone and I don't have any input lag problem. I am using it mainly for termux admittedly but I haven't perceived any in other apps.


Does alt-tab work reliably? In my Samsung tablet, it's kind of random where the windows selector will start.


I just tested it out and it didn't work well for me. It reliably started either on the current app or on the latest app when on the home screen but I haven't managed to change windows at all. That could be due to my weird keyboard though. It only has 34 keys and has a weird way to reach the alt key which might be messing with everything.

I'll see if I can try with a standard keyboard later.


Just need to find a way to setup doom-emacs on android and then I'm good to go !


For those playing along at home, here's where I got to with doom emacs -

- You can't just "git clone" doom emacs using a rooted termux, because /data/data/org.gnu.emacs/ is read-only.

- So it seems that you have to use the emacs process. I went to buffers -> scratch to get a keyboard, and then used https://f-droid.org/en/packages/juloo.keyboard2/ to `M-x shell`.

- You don't have `git` in this shell, but you can still download doomemacs from github using

  curl -LJO https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
- and `unzip` the archive, moving it into place.

- .emacs.d/bin/doom is just a shell script, so you can invoke installation with

- `sh .emacs.d/bin/doom install`

- This is where I left off, for this script fails with "`emacs` not found on path".

All-in-all, a very, very exciting release! I hope somebody else manages to hack this.


I'll be eagerly following developments about this :)


Have you tried doing it however doom gets installed normally?

I tried emacs via termux and it gobbled up the opulent spacemacs without issues.

I just couldn't find a way to associate it with certain file types or even just to create i shortcut opening a specific file.


doom emacs on termux is great ! I might try forcing a doom install through termux but if I can find a "cleaner" way, I'd rather do that. The main problem I expect to have is the lack of git outside of termux


Yeah, I don't know where it stores its configuration directory. Also, the on-screen keyboard keeps disappearing, and I can't find a way to keep it on all the time.


I have a physical keyboard that I intend to have with me most of the time (a bluetooth ferris sweep that fits in my pocket when packed) so that part is solved, the config part is slightly more complicated


Evil-droid, or android-mode ;)


A big part of Diablo (or at least of Diablo 3) once the story is finished is to go as far as possible in the post game features.

Most people I know who have played Diablo would tell me their rift tier, paragon level (might be a different term in English but they play in french so that's the term I know).

So for new players, it might not be that big of a deal, but for players wanting to play more Diablo the game is telling them to cough up as much as they can


Well yes, the question is, when is a hardcore player going to run into this limit? After 20 hours? 50? 200? The further it is along the line, the fewer people it's going to affect. If you can have a great experience for the first 100 hours, that's still pretty good in my book.
