We’ve packaged this into Chakra, our agentic interviewer.

Oh fuck right off

I agree with all the points made in this post except I’m troubled by the conclusion that we should let big tech decide a better solution. That puts the power right back with part of the consortium that was focused as part of the whole passkey issue here. Not saying I know what would be a better alternative but I don’t agree that that is it.

Just switched to Fedora Kinoite and I’m loving the immutability of the OS. Oh bad update? lol rollback and golden. Can’t do that shit with each bloatware force push from MS

I responded further down but the infrared equivalent to these are very useful and explicitly solve for the energy waste issue you describe. Infrared heaters can’t heat open air which means heat-energy is transferred right to solid surfaces. It is extremely efficient in areas with any amount of airflow as the heat isn’t able to be blown away as it’s radiating from the surfaces below the heater, not the heater or the air between.

I mean my wife and I are a perfect example. After moving into our home I had every intention of getting a Tesla for us both and putting in a home charger. I will say we LOVE our Hyundai Ioniq 6 and will be waiting to see what they release next. Tough shit Elon.

Oh! I actually can personally answer this one. I’ve been a competitive air gun and rimfire .22 LR for years and even attended college on a rifle program scholarship at a D1 program (yes! The US has a major collegiate rifle program)

Traveling internationally depended much on where you were going. We competed at the international junior Olympic championships just outside of London one year in the UK. We had to package all ammo and firearms separately, in locked containers which ultimately wasn’t that big a deal. As with flying with firearms in the US, it ultimately comes down to how familiar those such as gate agents and check-in staff are at the airport with their country’s firearm travel laws. Flying out of the US was always easy as they’re used to firearms, but flying back to the US was sometimes a nightmare and we’d get to the airport up to 6 hours before a flight to deal with any BS.

If you enjoy it - it’s never wasted time

Love to see it but the dealbreaker for me is the Keychron Launcher utility for configuring the hardware. It’s a web app that only works with an internet connection. You literally cannot configure your Keychron hardware without internet. Air-gap server room? Yeah it’s a massive pain in the ass.

Is this gender fluid?

This is incredible. Thank you for the hard work and incredible effort. This isn’t some low quality crap - this is golden

Exactly this. Marketing and Sales are two different beasts and advertisements can serve either or both at the same time.

Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize half of them are dumber than that.

This perspective makes me so incredibly depressed. This is where we’re at as a species. We will ultimately be our own destruction.

But this way I can give Apple my money and Google my data in one simple package!

calling for mass murder

Yeah she’s not Christian but rather is just virtue signaling. Get away from them to preserve your own sanity

Estonia fuckin nailed it

They don’t need to do anything that complex to solve this though. They just need to migrate the existing frontend to a progressive web app (PWA) as that can be installed as a browser “app” to any modern OS and run offline. I also despise the bloated shit (Razer, MSI, Corsair; calling you shitheads out for your horrendous software products) but there is no excuse for Keychron. They won’t even answer as to why it requires the internet.

Their backend service was just down this weekend for 6 hours and the Launcher was completely useless as it refused to connect devices. I contacted support and they just told me I have to wait for someone to fix it on their end on Monday.

Haha I could see that now but I was being serious as any effort to get content on here is always greatly appreciated!

I’m struggling with this right now after losing my kitty and my irl best friend just months apart. I’ve hit a point of pure jealousy that they will never have to see any of the evil happening today and will never feel the pain I feel. Is it possible to ever move past this?
