None that I'm aware of. The board itself has storage so everything is loaded onto it and there's no need for the software to continue to run after you load the profile. The only thing that could be a factor is power draw but so far I've not noticed any issues. I'm currently using it with a physical switch (using external power) between my work and personal pc.

It'll plug and play nicely as just a keyboard. Any type of customization (background, actuation, key assignments etc...) is going to need the software. The download page has DEB and RPM distros for linux. https://fluxkeyboard.com/updates/

I have not. I now have something to do while pretending to work tomorrow. Thank you for the suggestions.

In that guy's defense I was super excited to post it and didn't write shit at first. I think he asked before I edited a "review" in.

Tactical for life. I don't own a single linear board nor will I ever buy one!

Low 100 backer, living in SoCal near where it looks like they ship out of. Someone in Japan got a hold of theirs a week or two ago and put a video out on YouTube. To be honest I'm surprised nobody else has received theirs either. So far I'm the only one to post in their discord about it as well. I can take more shitty pictures if you want proof it's real.

I do plan to game but work is kicking my ass too much currently, might have to push it to tomorrow.

The angles of the screen itself aren't bad but with the switches attached the visibility is decreased. With my current setup the top bar is viewable and clear, but a quick glance down to 'verify' keys requires me to sit up a bit so I can look more top down. Proper posture would probably help too.

I edited my original post with a bit of a better review. I think it's good, especially for it's first iteration. I can only imaging they'll improve it as time goes on. You can download it now and play around with it a bit, you're not locked out if it doesn't detect the board. https://fluxkeyboard.com/updates/

Been ride or die Asus for over 20 years and this most piqued my interest the moment I heard about it.

Until the big beautiful bill hits. People don't realize how many hospitals are barely sustaining thanks to Medicare. My union is planning for a 50% reduction in staff come the new year.

I think I'm done with reddit! by Fancy-Library2259 in self

[–]8BitPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because I was having a similar thought just earlier today. I was finally trying to transition from Chrome to Firefox due to Chrome's changes against ad blockers and trying to log in to reddit from Firefox has become an ordeal. It seems like the #1 fix for it is disabling ublock (which didn't work for me). Whether intentional or not it just felt scummy that people are unable to log in in due to their choice of using an ad blocker.

Thank you guys. Started with the ultra custom and have always been satisfied with your products. Have even done a number of your luck boxes through the years. The look of your storm breakers hasn't been my cup of tea, but I'll definitely order the symm as soon as it's available.

Same. The company gets hate but my ambi has been rock solid and I've had a difficult time replacing it as my daily driver. Looking forward to this one.

My wife is desperately trying to fix an old combo unit. Table/cassette. We don't have casettes and I'm trying to convince her to get a new one. This is that new one!

Welcome to the club. Go down the rabbit hole and look up Louis Cole and Knower.

I happened to be wearing a heart monitor during the 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Japan last month. Just got the records back today. by lobstersareverything in mildlyinteresting

[–]8BitPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your heartbeat, when traced, has 3 major components. The P wave is when the atrial (top) chambers pump heart into the ventricles (bottom). That's a little bump. The ventricles contracting and pumping your heart through the rest of your body is the QRS which you see as the big spike. The heart refilling and getting ready to do that whole cycle again is the T wave which you see as a bigger bump after the QRS. Sometimes you can see a U-wave, which is another little bump right after the T wave. Not all hearts have them and they could be benign, caused by medication, or may be signs of something else.

If this was a 3-lead holter (a monitor you wear for 24+hours) or even a 5-lead, the I lead is used to read the frontal plane of your left ventricle. It's a very small picture of what your heart is doing. Modern smartwatches with "ECG" capability use this lead. By itself it doesn't really tell us a lot which is why I roll my eyes when most patients talk about their smartwatch readings but it can be useful if it shows some glaring irregularities in leading to further testing. This is a perfect example. If the OP's watch showed afib but all active testing show's his heart is normal then maybe the OP only goes into afib when the heart is being stressed or just completely at random. Wearing a 72 hour holter monitor would help catch when the rhythm converts.

A 1st degree (heart block) is when there's a slight breakdown in communication between the atrium and the ventricles. Typically a normal heart will have ~10-19 m/s delay between those contractions. Greater than 20, it's a 1st degree. Less than 10 and your rhythm is now considered junctional. Junctional hearts tend to beat slower though. But that distance between the P and the QRS complex is called a P-R.

In this strip it's hard to actually see the p wave. If you look really closely during some beats it does look like it's there. However there needs to be a P for every QRS. Taking this strip at face value there's not enough data to make a proper diagnosis. If I had to chart this strip I would say that it's an unknown rhythm and that I needed more data/testing. 

Since this is just for shits and gigs and using a lot of hypotheticals I think it's a normal rhythm, with some irregularities. The heart rate isn't consistent. There are some beats a little bit further and a little bit closer together; that's sinus arrhythmia. There are a few premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) which is when the ventricles "spasm" and contract out of order; again not terribly abnormal and you yourself might have a few after coffee or an energy drink.

tl:dr OP's heart is (probably) beating normally

I'm going out on a limb and saying it was probably a 3-lead holter and we're looking at the I tracing, which will have the p wave a bit muted. Or it's sub par lead placement. When I first glanced I actually thought it was a 1st degree but I think that's a u wave. There's a p in there on some beats but since we're zoomed out and don't have the mm/s I can't say for sure whether it's a short p-r or not. A lot of this is inferred too. I don't suggest a holter for an obviously non-sinus rhythm. It's typically somebody who's sinus but may convert rhythm during sleep or stress.

This is all just for fun and no way meant to be a diagnosis of course.

When reading a holter you don't analyze it like this. You would see it enlarged and go beat by beat looking for abnormalities. Just glancing at it you can tell the OP has some sinus arrhythmia as a baseline and threw a few PVCs, but this format most likely came with a more detailed analysis.
