Off Topic / Public Broadcasting R.I.P. in USA

« Last post by fohat.digs on Fri, 18 July 2025, 08:33:45 »

After decades of trying, the Republicans have finally gotten one of their greatest wishes and cut off funding for public broadcasting in the US.

Non-commercial news, education, and culture simple did not fit into their scenario for what America should be.

PS - can somebody explain to me what the contemporary term "woke" means - in plain English?

Also a lot of Topre enjoyers seek out vintage aged domes..

They're the same people who buy lifestyle brand speakers.

It would be too offensive to say they're morons, but their intelligence is at approximately the same lvl.

Razer blade 16,

This is the dumbest design ever. Absolutely disgusting.

There're reasons laptop keyboards have had tape under the keys to prevent the fan sucking air through it.

1, DUSTTTT, now your keys will bind over time, because of dust and oily air ingress. Gamers also eat things like doritos and cheetos.

2, Imagine pouring some liquid on the keyboard, Now the FAN will suck that cococolo throughout the motherboard. NICE..

Razer is fn stupid, Seriously, they've gone full re****.

Worst lifestyle brand on the planet, the fact that they and the likes of Klipsch and Marshall (speakers) make any money is proof that Idiocracy is today the norm. Humanity is entirely hopeless.

5090 mobile GPU is $5000 for the same performance as a desktop 5070ti (non super).

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] DCS Cream Cheese and Green R3

I love the pursed Caps Lock keys. And I'm always glad to see UK ISO offered. I'd like to see at least terminal ISO (ISO Enter, 1.25u shift, less/greater and R3 pipeslash) in the base, so if the UK kit didn't meet MOQ, there'd at least be physical coverage available for ISO boards. And for folks who needed UK keys, the UK kit would be a little smaller/cheaper.

Another suggestion would be that you could force accents for the Esc and Enter keys in the 40s kit to reduce its size - forced 40s accents are pretty common.

For the 40s kitting, the 1.75u R4 Lock key is rarely used anymore, and could be cut; most recent 40s kits omit it. In its place, a R2 1.25u Backspace key would be handy, as would be a 1.5u Shift, since there aren't any of those included. And as someone else mentioned, 2x of each spacebar size in the 40s, since they're used in pairs.

Someone's already mentioned that all DCS bars are convex now. I think that's everything that stands out to me - looks good! GLWIC!

Of course, just a month after building my computer, the 5070 TI I bought is $110 cheaper as of yesterday. And my CPU is about $20 cheaper now.

Consumer confidence is in the pewwps.

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] SA Teletype 40s Monokit and Full Size Adaptor

We're in the final week of the Teletype group buy! The finish line is in sight, and with your help, we can get this made! (Along with successfully commissioning the SA 40's logo legend, making it available for use in future sets.)

If you've been considering picking this up but haven't yet, now's the time. I don't know if there will be any extras once the GB ends, and with a low MOQ like this, every order counts.

In the meantime, enjoy some more renders.
