Making Stuff Together! / Re: could cork work to silence switches?
« Last post by Findecanor on Fri, 19 June 2026, 19:34:23 »
Cork is a bit grainy and dampers inside switches tend to be very small. I'd be afraid that it could too easily fall apart and/or be inconsistent at such a small size.

Cork has otherwise successfully been used for cases, wrist rests, between plate and PCB, under PCB, as feet and as for "keyboard pads" to place the keyboard on top of.

After having learned that the computere game composer Bobby Prince had died.
He had made the music for Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Doom II, and Duke Nukem 3D, among other games.

Keyboards / Keyboard Spotting on Wishbone: David Barnes gets an SSK
« Last post by waldorf120 on Fri, 19 June 2026, 18:21:53 »
Currently rewatching my comfort show Wishbone (PBS 1995) and went full Rick Dalton pointing at the screen when I saw an IBM SSK at the beginning S1E19.  In the episode David is getting a new computer and with that new computer for some reason he gets an SSK to replace his old full-size board.  They have some great close-up shots of the device and you can even see what appears to be a silver badge up in the corner.  I suspect the reason the props department went with an SSK is the tight shot was having difficult capturing both David typing and using the mouse.  I'm just happy to see the TKL get some screen time.  All of the previous keyboards in this show have been full sized asian layouts (big ass enters and 1U backspaces).  I searched online to see if anyone had documented this SSK sighting and couldn't find any results so I captured a few screenshots and am posting them here.  I will try to note the appearance of other keyboards on the show and post them here as well for posterity.

Recently rewatched Only the Strong (1993) with some of my buds.
It is amazing how much of a good time this film is. Insanely goofy in the best way possible.
Here is my favorite quote from the movie.
