Keyboards / Re: Lucky65v2 Problem
« Last post by maurat on Mon, 17 August 2026, 10:21:00 »Hey, kinda late for the response but just passing by in case someone had the same problem.
My keyboard ended not even getting recognized by my computer, but I didnt tried new usb ports to make it show on device lists, so probably didnt need to buy another pc for it to be recognized. After I bought a new one it appeared on the devices list but unrecognized. Then I basically needed to short two pins to get it into bootloader mode, Ill insert an image that show which pins I shorted. HEREhttps://i.imgur.com/LuL3Amh.png (I got the pcb image from a reddit post, the image is not mine) The pins I shorted are highlighted in red (two red dots)

So, there are some hairbrain ideas out there, you take out a few million in loans, Go to Carkivh, buy a soviet apartment building.
Each apartment go for 20k-60k, so yea, you can indeed buy a whole building.
The issue here is, the way exlpozivs work, there's shockwave, and while a building might not look damaged, just a few broken windows, cement internals may have cracks, and the building would have to be demolished upon inspection.
The BET, here would be, now that vrkin is deplete of MEN, lots of average unimportant western skilled workers, could go in, and have a slightly elevated social status, and trade up in women.
Tp4 suspects this is somewhat of a long bet, since in reality, the dearth in, in-demand skilled men exist in every country.
There is no lack of people to dig ditches. And if you filled up the whole place with them, it's not an economic boon.

Keyboards / Re: Why TKL Keyboards Have an F13 Key
« Last post by Findecanor on Mon, 17 August 2026, 07:12:12 »These days, I think however the most common reasons are:
- Aesthetics, to keep all spacing between key groups 0.25u
- Space for rotary encoder knob
- Because Macintosh has F1–F12 and then an additional key, traditionally for Eject but more lately Lock Screen / Touch ID and many mainstream keyboard brands follow.

ur00p IS the nvcc lar shield, that was ALWAYS the plan.
-so what we know thus far.
- the use of n weps are actively in discussion @ the wit hoz.
Now, what we no bout the opposition. irnt'o is nv(cl r capable, they HAVE BEEN for over 20 years, they CHOSE not to produce.
Their missile posture has also been "openly declared" for 2000km, this doesn't mean they can't make missiles that go further, it just means, as a condition of diplomacy, they said, well ok, we'll stick to handguns, and won't make any rifles.
During the war, they HAVE demonstrated, hitting the us base in pinegap australia, which is 11,000km.
It means, they can basically shoot anything anywhere.
This is suicide for D rvmph.

But honestttly, $400, too high.
4K QD-Oled 165hz has hit $500ish.
There's absolutely no competition in image quality if the price difference is that small.
The LCD needs to be $250 tops, for it to make sense, which means you'd pretty much have to be at most 1 lvl above manufacturing.
WEird that these monitor makers arn't doing direct.
