Sadly agree, I’ve been looking for a proper successor with no luck.

I am far from unbiased as I just switched back to my pixel 4a from my new Sony Xperia. I think the Pixel 4a is a flat out GREAT phone, full stop. It is perfectly sized IMO, has been very reliable, good battery life (though at this point I should look into replacing the battery), and it has a headphone jack. That being said, picking it as a new phone now essentially means going with a custom rom and hoping it stays supported. That’s fine and all, but it’s not something most people want. Just to be clear, the xperia isn’t a bad option per se, I only switched back because the phone came carrier locked when it was supposed to be unlocked and the carrier it was locked to was uncooperative so I refunded it.

It is exactly that. Some people really like them, others do not (me included). You usually need to go a little out of your way to get a font that supports ligatures for your editor.

Mostly same here, but (I have an SSD with W10 on it. I haven’t booted into my Windows drive since 2023. I only had a a few games installed on that drive, but it was also useful for the rare instance that I needed to some some propriety configuration utility.

For real, how is it that Brother makes the only printer that everything from my phone to my servers can use without problems. Bonus points for not gouging on toner.

Fuck, I really hate to agree with Elon on anything, but that is a ridiculous argument. LeCun must also really believe that trees only fall in the woods when someone is around to see it happen.

My experience was similar, but I gave up after my first RMA because I saw everyone else going through the same thing. The N7 started as such a delight and ended up as one of worst product experiences.

TIL about the artificial sweetener thing, this explains a lot. I have never been able to understand people enjoying diet soda.

This was it exactly in my head as well, there was no question.

The headphone port is one of the reasons I’m considering an Xperia next. My Pixel 4a battery life is feeling pretty rough.

Mine too, but the lack of headphone jack kills it for me. I may end up getting an expensive Sony as there aren’t many choices left that aren’t gigantic garbage phones.

I like to think of the Earth more as a pizza roll. Eating one right out of the oven sure feels like tasting magma to me.

12 hours isn’t really even that long, could probably bring just about anything, but I think Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri would be a great way to spend that time.

I’m not in that sort of area lol. I have thankfully seen less cows here than where I was moving from.

There are so many mitsumis and it shouldn’t surprise me that I don’t know them all (they seriously are all over the place). I am now in the midwest, so we probably won’t run into each other.

Sorry, didn’t see this reply until now. I don’t know all of them for sure (especially the few that look like really old Cherry like the MY and M9?), but own or have owned a quite a few of these. I parted with a bunch of my collection when I moved states last year, but still have several old boards that have SKCM Alps, vintage Cherry MX, and my clicky space invaders and some not pictured like my SMK Cherry MX mount and a few Model F and Model M.

The XM clones aren’t even Gateron quality IMO. I did end up with three fullsize XM boards when a site was selling them for $5 a piece. They were definitely worth that much.

I love image. I’m glad to see a good number of less common vintage switches made the cut.

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.

I bought a redragon k556 while I was traveling and had a need for a keyboard. It was good bang for the buck and can be flashed with QMK, but I don’t think the Kitava RGB is supported yet. The supported models are here https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/tree/sn32_develop/keyboards/redragon
