I remember that last part from the announcer and we were all like “you don’t say…”.

That would surely have made us feel better lmao! Still, that’s an interesting fact.

We watched it live in elementary school, most of the kids didn’t get what had happened right away. Our teacher was just standing there stunned until an announcement came on the intercom asking all the teachers to turn it off. They didn’t say anything to us, just tried to pretend like we didn’t just watch people blow up live.

Another commenter appears to have had the same issue, so it could just be some manufacturing issues. I’ll just consider myself lucky since I’d be pretty annoyed if I had to get to work soldering a hotswap board that I purchased specifically to avoid soldering.

Wow, I’ve never seen someone push in switches so hard it broke the hotswap sockets, that’s wild. I have definitely bent switch pins.

I bought one last year and when I need to replace a TV, I will do it again.

I would never consider that BS, so I forgot about that heh

Your description of flying is still accurate.

The only thing that changed in that time frame is almost everyone, including Fairphone, got on boards screwing over everyone that wanted wired headphones. So, I guess they are modern and up to date after all.

This isn’t necessarily accurate and probably depends on the model of open backed headphones. You can definitely hear music from many open back headphones when they are playing music if you are close, even at normal listening levels. My wife used to constantly complains about it when my office was in our bedroom and I had to switch to my closed back over ears that isolated well.

Hah, exactly when I did it

The texture of canned “black olives” isn’t really all that different from most types, but they have a much weaker flavor because they are processed in a matter of days instead of weeks/months/years of the alternative methods. Those longer methods, usually some combinations of brine and/or fermenting are where most of that flavor comes from. I only know this because I had a grand idea to try to grow my own olives and I looked into it and realized I wasn’t ever going to end up with my own that resembled stuff from the store. This is just more random info hiding in my brain instead of things that would be useful on a daily basis.

I found that I can’t just start and stop reading and get anything out of it in the same way that I can’t just start and stop a game, but that’s good that you can.

While I definitely have less time for things like that, I still find time to play some games usually by giving up a little sleep and playing after the kids are asleep and tons of chores have been done. I can’t imagine that you still don’t need some downtime, you can’t just be “on” all the time without it heavily affecting your mental health. I hope that you have simply found other pursuits that do that for you.

It was definitely harder doing the split that the ortholinear part of it since I have used smaller ortho keyboards and been ok-ish from the start.

It looks great, I especially like the backlit CST. I could never acclimate to my Ergdox, so it now lives with a friend who is making good use of it. Mine was the original layered clear full hand build with MX Clears.

I am the same, so it wasn’t an issue for me either. I just wanted to confirm that you were not going to get the previous “fun” ROM experience.

It can be used to send money to people that don’t have a bank account. These people sadly exist, like some of my family. That said, being pressured to send them money by them lying could definitely be considered a scam :)

GrapheneOS will feel very different, and quite a bit less of the “fun” customization options, since its goal is security.

Fwiw, mine has worked with no issues on any of my Linux PCs.
