Get Out Your Dremel - a New Switch is Needed
« on: Fri, 05 January 2024, 07:57:41 »
We keyboard enthusiasts have been coasting in complacency for far too long, now we will all need to add a new key to our keyboards.

Get used to the future, it is here now.

Every time I hear how ****ty Microsoft Windows has got, I tell myself that "they can't possibly make Windows any more ****tier" And each time, I get proven wrong sooner or later.

Face it! Microsoft is in the "en****tification" phase. It won't get any better. The only way to keep anything of value in computing is to migrate to another platform.

damn microsoft really committing to ai, even though it sucks.

it's so plainly obvious that this is marketing hype since investors for some reason don't look into what a technology is and just blindly follow dumbass tech bros. Same thing happened with crypto/nfts

I'm not even sure this technology will last since it's a landmine of copyright infringement. Either the tool gets so bad that's it's barely useful or all the big ai companies go out of business.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.
| m0115

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco
More
stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

It's in the hype phase (especially for investment/business purposes,  holy sh*t), give it a bit more time and people will just get bored and disappointed with it, then in a few years it will come back and actually be useful but without the hype.

AI engineer here. It's definitely a cycle. We've been through a few over the decades AI existed. This one is a bit more hyped and public but not so much different. It will indeed deflate.
We've got a saying - AI is always in the future. When it's actually implemented and used, it's no longer considered as AI.

En****tification is 2023 word of the year apparently (see the wikipedia article I cannot link here due to automatic censorship).
The original article where Cory Doctorow coined the term (worth reading !):
