  • I don't know of any other full sized EC keyboards that support wireless, but depending on if they meet your needs, I know that Varmilo makes selfcontained EC switches that are hotswap compatible with Cherry MX switches. They aren't going to feel just like a Topre dome used in a Realforce since they are quite different in construction, but they are electro-capactive. If you don't need a full sized keyboard, you may have more options via Topre clones like some of the NiZ/Plum/Royal Kludge keyboards.

  • LG have started sending some bullshit major updates to both of my TVs recently. The whole "home" interface is now sluggish and full of video heavy garbage I don't want to see. They are still better than some smart platforms (looking at you Vizio, Samsung, and Roku), but I am far less pleased with them than I used to be.

  • I've owned multiple Sceptres and the only thing that ever broke for me was button related (on both the remotes and TV itself). You'd think buttons would be a solved problem, but I've owned three of those TVs because of the price (SmartTVs were not universal then).

    That all being said, the displays themselves are mediocre and the speakers are weak and poor quality. The quality is probably right in line with the price, but if you're coming from a higher end TV, it will be noticeable. I always had to use speakers or a soundbar to get acceptable quality sound, the display you get used to pretty quickly.

    Assuming Sceptre still makes dumb TVs by then, I'll probably switch back to them when mine either die or LG crosses some red lines.

  • I have several perfectly working mechanical keyboards from the 80s, so I'd say, yeah they last long. That being said, I don't necessarily think you'll get decades from $40 mechanical keyboard like you can from an old school IBM, Alps, or Cherry MX keyboard. I mean, you may, but these keyboards were most than $40 back then and adjusted for inflation they'd not be cheap these days.

  • I also never found the Aeron comfortable on my back, though I also saw tons of them break in our office which seems weird and not a common experience. The most comfortable office chair I've owned was from HON. It was their "pillow soft" high back executive chair. I still have mine after several years, but I had to transition to a mostly standing desk recently, so I'm not using it currently.

  • I've been there and it almost killed me. It wasn't money that got me (that much), but the lack of time and sleep. I'd live by vending machine junk and naps in the car between jobs.

  • All of the above, and I ran into some bugs in Datagrip that when I reported them I was blown off and gaslit in the response. The response to the bug report was something like "No one does things like this, and even if they did it isn't important" MF, I DO IT, and it was important enough for me to report the bug! That was enough for me to not renew our licenses for our team when it was time to re-up.

  • That's very impressive for that price, though I am highly skeptical of those framerates since my PC has better specs and doesn't get that without some serious compromises in settings. How are you getting a Windows Pro license for $19? I use linux 99% of the time, but I'd love to have a pro license on the cheap.

  • Since you're serious, I'd be very curious to see the part list for this if you have the time. I am quite aware of current prices and GPU prices are currently still rather bonkers, even with sales.

  • Sorry to dig up this old reply, just saw it. The original Model Ms were also buckling spring over membrane, you're thinking of the Model F. And yes, you can get replacement membranes from Unicomp for older Model Ms.

  • My expensive vinyl double hung windows in my previous house actually had a casement-like feature and I could easily remove either part. I loved those windows; I wish I could have taken them with me.
