Interest Checks / Re: [IC] Syrin TKL - An HHKB TKL?
« Last post by ClickClack.io on Sun, 06 July 2025, 08:43:32 »
The solder PCB looks like it doesn't support the HHKB (right winkey missing), is that an error or is HHKB only hotswap? That would suck since split right shift is solder only on your design.
Also would love to see 6u spacebar for true HHKB.

The solder image has been updated to reflect the correct layout!

You go to the bank, you borrow money.

Bank notes your asset, and the liability of that asset.  THAT is money, instant money out of thin air.

This is how all central banks bring money from Non-existent to Existent.


That is to say, money is entirely fake. There is no true store of value whatsoever.  Neither is Gold a store of value, Gold/Silver is more/less like the original Bitcoin.


That's just the accounting, and political/power structure of our system, it's a ledger, NOTHING MORE. 


We are SPENDING -Finite-Energy-,  the Fatty Black Oil/Coal/Gas mother-nature LEFT for us, the inheritance, we can't make more, Renewables are greenwashing, they are NOT renewable, and they only make electricity, which can not replace the role of oil/gas/coal in the existing economic tech tree, the example given prior, asphalt/concrete/all plastics, you need fossil fuel to make..


What that ledger accounts for, the other side, is the REAL WORLD.  For the ledger to be net positive, we have to DO STUFF in the real world.

ALL STUFF that humans do, at the moment, is consumptive, Energy Intensive, and the majority of which, WASTEFUL.


Driving a 4000lb steel box around, just to move 1.5 person because they're too fat/lazy to walk is absolutely RIDICULOUS, and that model, is what every human being aspires to "DO" with "MONEY".


It's a hopeless and DIRE situation.

it's what's being DONE with money in general.


It is helpful to consider money to be a tool. In modern civilization, money is an extremely convenient medium of exchange, and it established thriving markets all over the world.

But whenever people start hoarding money, above and beyond whatever they are using and recirculating, it effectively disappears and disrupts the markets.

Then, either there are shortages and hardships or additional money must be "found" or "created" - use your imagination for the myriad ways that can happen.

I visualize the money scenario as like a river flowing down out of the mountains and providing water for all the farms along the way. If someone at a higher elevation "owns" the land that the river flows through and builds a dam to impound the water - everyone downstream will be shorted.

The question is whether "owning" the land allows you to "own" the water that passes through it, and/or what does "owning" actually mean?

To me, the native Americans had it right - when Europeans asked to "buy" the land, the Indians said "We belong to the land, the land does not belong to us."

Ps5 liquid metal failures.

Tp4 can confirm that liquid metal actually does have dry spots over time.

This happens quite frequently on hacky diy liquid metal laptops where they didn't galvanize the copper.

It also happens on desktop with the ihs + delid.  It's just a matter of time, this stuff doesn't last forever. 2 years TOP. swap it out people.

Finally got around to uploading a small PCB.  Nothing exciting, just a little breakout board for a YD-RP2040.  But it was all me from start to upload.

What diabolical gadget is melvang hacking together?

Nothing to crazy, just an MX switch non split Ergo Dox with a solenoid from one of the Ellipse Model F boards.

Making Stuff Together! / Gerber Check please??
« Last post by Melvang on Sun, 06 July 2025, 04:19:15 »
Would anyone be willing to check my gerber files before ordering?  I did get uploaded to OshPark without issues.  I didn't get any errors or warnings on the DRC, and one error on the ERC.  Which was for having a GND plane and nothing to drive it.  But considering this is getting a controller board soldered to it, I figured that was acceptable.  Assuming I will have to email the gerber files.  Feel free to message here or PM.
