The question becomes, if you feel that the fruits need to be washed with soap - should you really be eating it?

I know pour over is seemingly the norm at the moment but I'm still chugging along with my 10 years old Bodum stainless steel french press. Tastes fine to me and keeps the coffee hot decently long. Though I've been pondering to do the additional step of pouring it through a Hario filter and see if it refines the taste any further.

Definitely, especially if too early in the morning and my mind still churning sorting out stuff for the rest of the day. Or just plain stressed.

I'm going to against the grain a bit. If you liked and want the oldschool Thinkpad feel, look into getting a Topre board. Check out Leopold or Niz, both are decent topre clone brands.

Also, if you live in a metro area check and see if there's a mechanical board gathering, possibly giving you a broader flavor of what's out there that might fit your taste.

Thanks! It's neat because the umbrella is translucent so if you have led it glows.

Right, but does the instruction include how much soap to add? hehe

Staying, liking it here so far. As others have mentioned, reddit does have a huge base of collective knowledge that I used frequently in the past - and I do miss/resent that.

I would totally buy two if it actually work on the state of the world right now...

If it's anything like their mini pc business, it can be hit and miss - best to wait a bit. Seems their business model (at least on the pc side) is to pump out the latest trend and move on and not really fix any issues that crops up. Also they are based out of china so you might have to eat the shipping cost for any "fix".

How do you like the MTNU? How's the height compared to CYL, any transition mistype(s)? Lovely setup really.

For switches:

Durock Shrimp or Gazzew U4 switches for slightly on the premium side. If you feel .65 per switch is a bit much, I highly recommend Haimu Whisper (.30 cents per) or Wuque WS silents - not as thocky as Shrimp or U4 but more comfortable to type on, imo.

Didn't even know that sort of site was a thing. I do have a few kits I want to pass onto people who will be able to use them. Thanks!

Always liked Susuwatari but could never get myself comfortable with MT3 profile. So glad for the reminder, placed an order - finally going to get my own set of Susuwatari, thanks!

It might not be a device/iOS issue? Have had the same number for about 20 years through Cingular/AT&T and was getting calls on a regular basis, particularly bad leading up to and during covid era (3-4 per day). Ported same number to tmobile earlier this year and spam calls have dropped to maybe one every other week - at most. My take then is that depending on your carrier screening or not pairing with carriers initiating the spam calls.

I'll toss another silent tactile into the ring: Durock Shrimp tactiles. I use Zilent 62g, U4 62g, and Shrimps interchangeably and like them the most for the consistency(least spring pings/scratchiness), smoothness, and bump.

If you liked the U4, definitely should try out the shrimps. Feels very close to the u4 68g in terms of firmness but smoother on the up/down stroke. The bump is slightly more distinct. Just wish they would offer it with lighter springs.

On the cheaper and lighter bump end, I'd recommend either Wuque/Haimu silent tactiles. Very smooth and silent but you're giving about 50% of the bump, but great for office environments and fast typing.

Your photo of cyberspace doesn’t look too bad, is it supposed to glow in the dark as it seems to imply in the render? I’ve learned to be extra skeptical of designers who post renders that are dark or artsy, I need to see some real world lighting for true consideration of your set.

One big letdown was the first run of XDA Canvas. Was the hotness when it was announced: new profile, custom colors and fonts with super beautiful renders(for back in the day). Turned out to be a hot mess with font alignment, bleeding, warping etc., not sure if Drop fixed it since then. It was my second big lesson in the mk world after the bunnylake gmk hyperfuse debacle

You would need a pcb with matching mounting style, and with a jst connector for the daughter board - will be tough. That said, you should be able to use the board without the BT, just don't install a battery and use 100% wired as you want.

You're right. I had a brainfart and confused that bt function would be disabled without battery. And you wanted a hard switch, sorry.

Are you in the US? I see a few XDA sets in darker schemes like this one: amazon link for dark theme set $25

Double check and make sure it has the coverage for your specific keyboard, I don't recall which brand(s) but something like Razor or the like have non-standard spacebar size 5.5u , etc.

Am with kilted_ on this one, possibly look at one of the other uniform profile like KAM as he mentioned, or DSA. XDA is not very comfortable to type on extensively, and tends to wobble on lighter switches.
