I literally just listened to this episode today. Some crazy stuff.

This is why I still use my Thinkpad W520. If I don't need the battery I just take it out until I need it. I hate that we got rid of removable batteries in basically all devices.

This is really cool. It's like the Mouse feature if QMK but works with any keyboard!

I'm glad that this is the way customs are headed. I love my Think6.5 V2. Gasket mounting has been game changing for me.

I still miss my Pebble 1 but my Amazfit Bip fills the void a bit. It's got amazing battery life and a pretty good screen. I really miss the epaper display of the Pebble though. I don't exactly know why either.

It's a shame that most people will just add a number to their current password though.

I haven't been able to get spotifyd to work, but I've been using Mopidy and MopidySpotify for years.
What a bunch of scumbags. How can a company revoke "lifetime" licences? They stated that they wouldn't touch the lifetime licences and are doing it anyway. Companies like this make me sick.
Re:If You Can't Buy the Keyboard You Want, Build It Instead on Sunday December 15, 2019 @01:44PM (#21797994)
This is how most of my keyboards are because not many key sets come with big Ctrl keys.

Building your keyboards is always the way to go! I've built about 10 now and I love it every time.

I've actually never really thought of this and I find it rather interesting. For years I've used a combination of ambient and post-rock music and services like mynoise to focus. I've never thought that it could be a distraction for people. Thank you for posting this, gave me something to think about.
Re:YouTube or PeerTube, which will it be on Tuesday December 10, 2019 @02:04PM (#21755720)
I really like the idea of PeerTube. I like the idea of a decentralized internet.
