Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] KKB Cobalt - August 28th to October 06th
« Last post by The Switch Journal on Thu, 15 October 2026, 00:30:37 »Hello everyone! I am terribly sorry for taking this long to update you, I wanted to wait for the final numbers and confirmations before saying anything.
Cobalt will... Move on to production!
I want to thank every single one of you who supported this project and made it possible, it means more to me than you can know.

I placed orders on 3x sites that were not Amazon-affiliated, and all 3 used Amazon to ship.
The silent takeover, although I don't think that was Baldzos' plan

Keyboards / Re: What is best latest TKL keyboard kit I could buy?
« Last post by upscale image on Wed, 14 October 2026, 20:21:50 »This TKL keyboard kit thread is super helpful for comparing builds. I always struggle with getting the right specs, just like when I need to <a href="https://upscaleimage.pro/dpi-converter">Change image DPI</a> for printing. That free tool makes it easy without uploading anything.

Basically, scientifically it's dat bald guy with the ionic breeze air purifier, but smaller.
Now, Tp4 thinks the ozone gas issue is an acceptable trade-off,
But the big hurdle here is, This is almost certainly going to kill someone's pet-parakeet,
Annnnnnd, boom, no one wants to buy supr silent ionic coolers.
Major headwinds.
Even if it's safe for humans, they're going to jump on the thing the moment it hits internet viral outrage generator.
OH NO, My Dell Laptop killed my Parakeet, Hide yo wife, hide yo kiz, laptop = murder.
Understand that parakeets have exceptionally sensitive lungs different from humans, where even "legal" emission standards for Ozone COULD KILL the birbs.
Many'o news cases over the years where air purifiers with built in ionizers have Murdered people's pet parakeets.
Upon further research, they is says, 40watt solution is more/less the max given the physics and the constraints.
This is pretttty gud, patherlake is quite gud @ 40 watt. Though TP4 argues it currently stilllll needs 65 to really getrdone, in reality maxed out, pantherlake is a 100watt design. They lie about the 80 even.
That being the case, Assuming TSMC's bleeding edge AMD chip, on their 2nm+++++ , You could see something quite gud' @ 45 watts.
Though, mmmm... Even with optimizations, 45watt is not a fun place to be overall. but for ultra-portable. It'll have to do.
The depressing news is , this won't scale to 100watt solutions, so you'll almost certainly NEVER achieve silent G4m3r laptop.

it's KFC
My guess is that KFC is much better in other countries than it is here.

Tp4 thinks, Indonesia should just cut down all of these silly useless forests and PLANT MORE PALM OIL. Palm oil is already reponsible for 30-40% of old growth forest and peat Demolition, what's another 20-30%. $$$$$$$$$
Palm oil, yum yum !!! Where else we gon' get cheap oil to fry our tatos to feed our slave populations.
As you know, Large forests create their own weather system, aerial rivers which cycle freshwater within itself. Capitalism should go in and kill it.
Let's cut and burn so we can sell that Life-Force and fuel dat FastFood industry young people crave !!..
It's got elektrolits.
And once the young people get suprrr fat, we slaughter them in the operating room for a super kewl $150,000 session.
NICE !!, Capitalism.
