Slashdot is funded by cryptocuckery, which has just been outlawed in China.

No, it makes half sense. Well, maybe a quarter. Explanation to follow some more quoting.

Right, all true.

No, Microsoft is a threat etc.

You've shown that Microsoft is a threat, which is reasonable. I agree.

You have done nothing whatsoever to show that China is not also a threat. Not one single word of your comment supports that assertion.

You've only shown one of those things, how did you come to that conclusion without any supporting logic?

That certainly was a big fucking stupid comment. Congratulations?

You won't have a choice. You will buy it or be cited, convicted, imprisoned, enslaved.

I work for an all Windows shop, but most of our tools are web hosted. We could change the user systems to something else and our workflows would barely have to change.

But we still don't.

Not just that, they would use AI to OCR, so their energy consumption would increase substantially. Every problem is a nail.

I am not planning to get rid of anyone. It's telling that this is your only proposed solution.

The DNC awaiting my analysis is the problem. They are the ones hired to solve this problem. Your insistence that I solve the problem is also part of the problem. If someone who was not elected and is not paid to solve this problem is supposed to solve it, it might as well be you. What's your plan besides "getting rid of" people? Every time you say that you make it clear that's the best solution you can come up with.

They are probably factoring in the weakening USD too.

They aren't going to start making Fujifilm cameras in the US.

Tariffs are used to address systemic unfairness in trade, not because some idiot thinks that having a trade deficit is a bad thing. At best you might get a few new factories where robots do final assembly on some products, and high inflation. Best case.

I hope for America's sake that after Trump there is a big reset and things are put right. But I have little faith that the Democrats will actually do it. The damage may be permanent.

It certainly turned out that way with Brexit.

As long as the price rises are US only, it's fine. You guys pay your winning tariffs, but don't expect the rest of us to subsidize your choices.

1) They are provably stupid.
2) It doesn't make me feel good. Facts don't care about feelings. You have to acknowledge facts whether they make you feel good or not.

Why am I supposed to have the plan to fix decades of Republicans deliberately compromising education systems to create a malleable proletariat?

Saying people are stupid isn't dehumanizing them. It's acknowledging reality. Pretending real things aren't real doesn't help anything.

Who's suggesting actual (meaning workable) fixes? What are they?

Thanks for the detailed info and review. The hard bottoming out is an issue for me, I would need to fix that. I'll look into what the mod entails. Because of arthritis it's difficult to reliably release the key as soon as I feel it engage.

USB C is fine. I tend not use feet anyway.

Do you know if they are going to keep making them, or is this a case of grab it while you can because it might not be coming back any time soon?

I just checked to see what drop was and I see it's for keyboard enthusiasts, but they require javascript and I'm not interested enough to enable it. Either the purpose of the site is to sell tracking info or they don't have anyone who knows how CSS works. I don't know why I would care about the latest keyboard releases, they are irrelevant to my purchasing decisions as what matters to me is what is available to me someplace I want to shop.

That aside, I do most of my electronics shopping on aliexpress now. They have been responsive when I have had issues with purchases, and the prices tend to be much better. The keyboard I'm using now (which is a redragon k556rgb) is stuffed with outemu silent peach switches* I bought on aliexpress. I just got an ajazz ak820 from there. Since pretty much all of the keyboards are made in China now anyway, that's the cheapest way to get them. Their search engine is trash, but their site otherwise actually works these days so that's nice.

I wouldn't plan to get a keyboard with specific switches. I would plan to swap them, or buy one that came without switches. There are just too many switches out there for all the switches you might want to be available in keyboards. I have two k556rgbs since one LED died on one of them and they sent me a replacement, now I have a shitload of redragon red switches I'm not using. But it's only like $22 for a 110 set of outemu switches.

* I spent thirty bucks or so on switch testers first to figure out which switches I wanted. Outemu is so far the only brand I've found with feel equal to genuine Cherry, e.g. Kailh and Gateron are both hilariously sloppy by comparison. In side by side testing the difference is immediately obvious. Their "silent" switches are also quieter than other companies'. Do most keyboard enthusiasts just read reviews and skip the switch testing step or what? I see people gushing over Kailh all the time and I'm like, buh?

The M is a better buy than the F because it has more longevity. My first PC was an IBM 5150 with the original keyboard. It was nice to type on, but besides being very loud which I do not consider a feature, it also died. The membrane lifespan is limited.

Thanks, Obama!

That is less than half a joke, because the ACA a) writes profit for insurance companies right into the law and b) caps the amount they can charge at a percentage of the cost of care, which means they are motivated to drive up the prices.

The preexisting conditions part of the ACA is good. The rest of it is crap. It's designed to force people to purchase more expensive health insurance plans, and then to pay for it with tax money if individual people cannot afford it, making The People pay for it instead (APTC.) This is a direct handout to an industry which should not even be allowed to exist.
