Time is half of the appeal though, the other half is randomness. If I had a nickel for every time I assembled an outfit or three around something so outside of my normal, I'd proba…

Bingo. Men/women, breadwinners/household labour and a few other axis tend to use a city much differently. By collecting the data that force was able to find gaps that were already …

I swear FaunchPad has seen 3 Or 4 different input methods like this be developed, I'm not sure what it is about the hardware but I'm absolutely in love with what you all do with it…

A little, you get used to it fairly quickly. Maybe I'm a bit jaded, both of my partners are non-binary and it's been natural for too long :P

Heads up, foone uses they/them pronouns. I love their write ups, I know whenever I see their posts on here to cozy up with a coffee because it's about to get fun.

This. Regulating seasonal snow tire/chain usage in areas with lots of snow/ice is imperative to reducing collisions and improving safety. That and decent infrastructure for clearin…

UniHertz Titan (kind of janky, but has a good hacking community), BlackBerry Key2, fXtec Pro and a few others. There is an audience, and we're out here being weird!

Hardware drag scrolling, combos and snippets, more configuration then you can swing a stick at, layers and all of that. Half of the reason I use QMK boards is due to on-host config…

It's all open hardware, so you can run off your own if your so inclined and design wood enclosures. The draw of these is that they are fully (properly) programmable and can run QMK…

Same, I have the keyboard sitting on a nearby shelf to my iMac for the TouchID feature. For anyone that uses some kind of keyboard a standalone TouchID device would be a godsend. :…

Good to see this project moving along, and if the team is monitoring this, give Brian a smack from me :P

Sidenote: If you (or anyone else) has one to sell, I'd love to try QMK'ing one. Those Hall effect switches and design are amazing.

Hot Take: A purse/bag is superior to pockets in most situations, stays organized and can handle the array of items needed for life much more gracefully then pockets. I don't need t…

I was just thinking this, as cool as having TouchID on a keyboard is, I'm not willing to keep a spare keyboard or ditch my GergoPlex for it. Another user pointed out that a Watch c…

I came here to bring this up, I use a Key2 daily and have used a UniHertz Titan for a time. Many applications don't handle odd screen aspects very gracefully. (Like Instagram optin…

I wish it was that easy! There's so many mechanical parts to consider and CAD is not my strong suit. That being said, if someone wants to miniturise the LalBoard and rework it, I c…

Heavy keys as well, and harsh bottom-out. There's a ton of rethinking what a keyboard is that is going on in the ergo space right now as to what a keyboard _should_ be and how they…

If you're going that route, go for GergoPlex with 12g switches :)

I have a Titan set up with all my accounts for when My Key2 finally goes. It's beefier, but more modern. I'm really hoping Onward doesn't botch the release of their new BlackBerry …
