It's more comfortable, but you have to be willing to learn the layout or develop your own.

I have a bastardKB Charybdis Nano as my daily, and I'm developing my own low profile board too. My next iteration of both will be 34 key only, that's plenty for me.

You can see my layout/firmware here https://github.com/pixelbreaker/qmk_userspace (layout is in layout.h)

I built a Charybdis Nano, it's amazing. Never going back.

I use a Bastard Keyboard Charybdis Nano. It's an ergo 3x5 keyboard with built in trackball. I built it myself but you can get them pre built too.

GPS will work in most locations, yes, but most apps don't have a simplified basemap, unless you have preloaded it.

I have a pinion gearboxed mountain bike with belt drive, 10000km and going strong, same belt.
Re:Framework is now available in Australia on Friday September 02, 2022 @04:08AM (#32688016)
Same here, I ditched mac for Framework, tried Windows, nope, fans always on, Ubuntu, battery died when lid closed in < 2 hours and fingerprint scanner didn't work. Fedora, same issue. I sold it and bought an M1 Pro. Nothing wrong with it so far. OK it was 3 times the price, but you get what you pay for.

I saw this guy speak once, he was insufferable, smug, self-promoting and actually pretty boring.
regardless of arguments about free speech. Using drunkenness as an excuse for anything is pathetic.

Does this breach any right to repair laws?
Did it get permission first?
Re:Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole on Friday March 18, 2022 @06:34AM (#30720470)
I have done just this, Dactyl Manuform with trackball custom generated with clojure (horrible) and trackball brutally added in meshmixer then 3d printed at home, it's fantastic. The fun starts with firmware.

no thanks. I like switches and using my body. This kind of tech as progress is a fallacy.
Re:Show HN: Visualization tools for bicycle wheelbuilding on Sunday February 13, 2022 @11:50AM (#30323111)
Yeah, for Pro mechanics who are paid to build the absolute best, yes perhaps it's useful. But for the rest of us, nah.

I raced my hand built wheels on tour divide. They didn't explode, unlike a lot of people with overpriced wheels from "specialists". Granted, tour divide is the extreme end of endurance though.

Re:Show HN: Visualization tools for bicycle wheelbuilding on Sunday February 13, 2022 @10:04AM (#30322120)
The Bicycle Wheel by Jobst Brandt is all I ever needed. I've built hundreds of wheels, I don't feel I need this tool. I guess if you're being really anal about it it's of value. I've used a spoke tensioner once ever, just a stand and a good feel for tension is fine. I've ridden over 60000km on my wheels, no problems.
