    >iPhones have strict shutdown temperatures for both cold and heat. (which make them useless in many outdoor work environments) Absolutely, I'm in the middle of Saskatchewan where i…

    If you don't mind hacking around and a bit of Jank, you can get the Lineage GSI working on the UniHertz Titan. Still Android, but you keep the HW Kepboard and the batterylife and b…

    I was using it at my job when it went down. Music stopped, things weren't responding, reloaded the page and knew it wasn't coming back. I was using it way back when you could use t…

    My setup is pretty close to yours, I've found this tool to be absolutely invaluable as an alternative to digging through menus :) https://github.com/Zren/plasma-hud

    With light switches and a compact layout it's not too bad for navigation. My default for arrows is LeftThumb+HJKL, so it's quicker and more natural then diving for the arrow keys. …

    Check out Tim Tyler's custom microswitch keyboard, it's pretty similar to that! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9yg3s77nAMQ

    That's exactly why I made Ginny (the small red keyboard in OP)! It's an exercise in insanity, but it does work as a fully functional keyboard powered by ASETNOIP. I could never dai…

    A better solution is to just have a different physical connector so it's obvious at a glance if you have the correct cables. But that: involves carrying another cable, and kind of …

    A few months ago I did a passthrough of Wrath Of Chronos, and it really breathed some life into Hexen. It even works for other DOOM wads and can be a fun change of pace to your sta…

    I think on the right kind of switch it doesn't matter. The idea with a tactile bump is to give your fingers feedback to prevent a bottoming out, but on a lower profile switch that'…

    If you're willing to go down a rabbit hole, designing your own keymaps and hacking on a layout can go a long way to alleviating RSI symptoms. The author doesn't touch on it but QMK…

    Skip on the Helix and grab something like the Crkbd (Make sure it's a model where the outer column can snap off) or the MiniAxe, Yushakobo carries both I believe. Also check out th…

    Was thinking that the whole time I was reading this! I actually have my layout optimized for i3/Vim-controls and it's the default for GergoPlex. I used to use xmodmap hacks but I g…

    A Key2 is my daily, but there's a backup unlocked Titan running Lineage ready to take over if it dies. Now the question is, once this hardware becomes available will I still need i…

    Check out the UniHertz Titan, you can run Lineage on it and have all the fun you want. I have it as a backup to my Key2 in case it dies on me. Also, having a physical keyboard with…

    Eh, we'll see, I'm hoping we get some news in August after the TCL contract ends officially but I'm not holding my breath. I'm still dailying my Key2 and have a UniHertz Titan setu…
