This will be a non-issue until the things get cheap enough to be cloned by a zillion vendors on AliExpress and sold for well under $99. I guess we have maybe another 5 years, tops?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles yeah me too. Delightful to go in with low expectations. High expectations KILL sooo many experiences!

@stevesi @johnolilly @mgsiegler I super noticed the Windows product placement in Never Have I Ever, because it's so odd to see so many Microsoft devices out in public.

@jminni You have to be very very careful to get the right chipset on the adapter if you want full speed!

@deadprogrammer get out of here with your witchcraft voodoo sorcery

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Frauenfelder @Beschizza No, never seen that. I would take it seriously. Make sure you have 2FA everywhere.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JohnONolan You ought to blog this in a bit more detail

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Steve_Gibe @danbrotherston @kevindente it's not avoidable, because you will get sued about the definition of "essential", no matter what route you take.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danbrotherston @kevindente just having a login requires a cookie? I'm not following your logic here. No website should require or use login in any form?

@mathowie wait Rogan got covid and took horse meds? And "it's unclear if he was vaccinated"?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bkero wow. the whole digital sword fighting scene looks like a fraught endeavor

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@frankieCoder I hadn't even noticed that!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@djbaskin absolutely not, it is a cheap sticker and plastic!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nanochess that looks suspiciously similar!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@haacked eh, it's not the same. needs to be organic, artisanal, handcrafted mean stuff.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cwodtke yeah this is also why I strongly dislike "killing it" and other super aggressive metaphors.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Spoiler alert, this did not ship. Any other digital sword fighting .. things .. out there of note?

@zeynep the original minimalist keyboard.. a mere 40 keys.. even the 40% keyboards have more keys than this! https://t.co/SEW6ENyIEk

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jszobody well, there are zero full electric minivans, so there's that. I also came around on hybrids as being reasonable choices in certain circumstances, e.g. you need to drive LOOONG distances daily. And hybrids are super super mature in terms of engineering.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eviltrout we did! that was the first big trip.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard do you, though? Where are the chiltrens

@synfinatic @Carnage4Life ah, I see, so this is a technicality related to the quote

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@synfinatic @Carnage4Life um.. people die from covid? Not sure what you're talking about or how it relates to the original post.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life is yelling "fire" in a crowded theater part of the foundation of democracy?

@codinghorror
@pomeranian99 well, sort of, reality as in "predicted reality" is a totally open ended book.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@uxdesigncc @pomeranian99 yeah you can simply look at the price and determine why. Also lithium batteries were needed, just like electric cars, for it to all be workable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nanochess yeah, I need to blog it!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sowbug I really like this -- wish I could get it pre-built!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PoopsTech yeah the keychron.. order of pu, pd, home, end is so wrong though.. should be home, pu, pd, end!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codeyarns I don't get the obsession with dust! I'd rather have great airflow, and quiet..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Here's one build log, with a larger cooler than I used https://t.co/qPm4h4gWXD

@codinghorror
@pomeranian99 I think there's a PSP version which is highly emulate-able.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielHoffmann_ those are present in the above picture

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi ask the free software foundation!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life yeah this situation is even more clear cut than Tumblr -- its whole reason to exist is the sex stuff.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rod_ I appreciate it, but I'm good -- I had the initial zoom setup call at 10am; I feel like it should have been fixed on the same day.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rod_ yeah, the two people I've worked with via email (and even a Zoom call) haven't been able to fix the issue so far, after a few hours of emailing back and forth. I guess it has to do with having an existing account from years ago?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_iransofaraway @slightlylate The good news is they are working on their own SoCs which should be out soon!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza I'd check wirecutter for this

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BiZathras yes, I got this and I am liking it too! not bluetooth tho unfortunately.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nayfield ah yes I remember that, not sure the folding capability is needed, I did order a "air mouse remote on one side, kbd on the other" device to try.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tlhunter ahh yeah looks like they evolved it a bit

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life yeah there's some truth to the "every option in the settings is the scarred battleground evidence of a product team battle"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jcansdale @JeffChausse have that one, like it, but it's too large. If you don't have any space requirement it is a fine choice!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tlhunter Do you fold down the two edges? There are feet that fold down on the left and right. https://t.co/6wAxAugnHp

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnnygf I dunno but it's super odd, and you do all this troubleshooting to realize: oh, the batteries are low, and/or the bluetooth isn't connecting well!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I am still liking this one a lot. The only quirk is I *really* wish ESC was a dedicated key .. other than that it pairs to 3 devices, folds up neatly, and is comfortable as both mouse and kb: https://t.co/73Gdfb0CaJ https://t.co/EewH387UAs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MostlySoftware ah good idea. I'm gonna try this one, looks a bit simpler https://t.co/uzT6m0molo

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MitchellMcKenna yeah I went with @BiZathras suggestion in the Rii line and I do like it. Not bluetooth though so it's an extra attachment.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Also one related observation: on multiple PCs, I've seen situations where games would have *abysmal* framerate if the bluetooth controller had poor reception, or if the battery was dying in the controller. It's quite odd but I've seen it many times on several machines.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BradDPatton @woodjoe well, yeah, that part is implied..

From a few inches away. Not high pitched but smooth, large fan sounds https://t.co/xd48mEWnFn

@codinghorror
Here is full load on it: prime95 plus furmark. With my mods it is not noisy at all, though I suspect the CPU may throttle a bit.. that avx2 stuff is cruel and unusual punishment for a cpu https://t.co/e1VfqLEH3s

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
very positive review at Anandtech. These mods also address the main complaint: noisy and terrible CPU fan. https://t.co/rTHbQQWYP8

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I am really digging this Zotac Magnus One. Here's the essential mods: add another 16gb ram (so you get dual channel total 32gb), swap the CPU cooler, use a 120mm fan, and dremel out the side meshes for better airflow. https://t.co/KS0n73x7iE

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kenhowardpdx yes exactly. probably happens a thousand times a day on FB

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Good news: was not a hack but a cheesy new account impersonation attempt. Still troubling but not a hack, per se.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielHoffmann_ @VarinPrime ah yes I love that case! Excellent choice

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielHoffmann_ @VarinPrime super helpful, thank you!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chetfaliszek dang I thought there was a new Dead Island. I enjoyed this series, what happened to it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gplumb very *very* good. 3070 + i7 10th gen is an excellent combo. Not exactly energy efficient though..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielHoffmann_ @VarinPrime ahhh so this Zotac Magnus One probably does support it! What's the option usually called in BIOS, in which section is it in?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielHoffmann_ @VarinPrime What is “resizable bar”?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Danbo that looks like a newer version of the one I had though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Danbo I had that on my pincab and I'm so-so on it. It's OK.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Aha! Updating the GPU firmware fixed it. I have not updated GPU firmware in quite a while…

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Beschizza I liked Ghost Canyon a *lot* and this is a super solid copy of it, with updated internals (3070 GPU + 10th series Intel). The only required mod I recommend is the CPU cooler swap + substituting the 120mm slim fan on the CPU cooler instead of 92mm. Fairly easy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I’ve tried three different known good hdmi cables to a known working port on the OLED display and it senses something there, a connection, but no signal. The 3070 outputs fine to a generic 15 inch HDMI fold up display I keep around for testing. So weird!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
also you will want this very cool adapter https://t.co/l7sIubQDVW

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@schizeckinosy hot from being near the exhaust I suppose

@ShawnWildermuth is there a good link on it?

I asked why Teslas don't have HUDs, and it's basically the same reason the first Macs didn't have arrow keys.
