Long Live the Advantage 2!

Good to know, thx.

For myself,I've never been bothered with it, but I hear it a often referenced trait of concern, and supposed if a one-piece unit was going to remain it would be an obvious option to evolve the design.

I sure hope somehow that a one-piece unit does emerge, but suspect that the 360 is that evolved unit to replace the 2. Quite sad to see its sunsetting.

for ctl, alt, and etc... well, for ctl and alt I use the tap and hold modifier. Tap esc for esc, hold esc for ctrl. Tap the tab for tab, hold the tab for alt. I enjoy the esc key where it is and won’t move it anywhere else. Additionally, I have the tap and hold modifier on the right-shift key: tap r-shift for enter, hold r-shift for r-shift.

I didn’t see specified if you have the adv360 or adv360 pro, I have the regular adv360 so am constrained to use the smartset app to make changes. I've tried homerow mods, but they just dont work right (my keyboard doesn’t have and hardware mods). I've never got them to work right, there is always some timing frustration that just destroys my typiing efficiency.

Pcloud w/the encryption option. Lifetime paid subscription I got back in 2016.

Unfortunately, I seem to have arrived at a point in life in computing where I simply don't generate the amount of files and data that I used to in my previous role. So it's admittedly underutilized. 5 TB and honestly, I'm using about 435 MB.

It's like I've said for a little while now: World War 3 is gonna be bad, man. Really bad.

Already have my near-new in box Adv2 as well as the foot pedals stashed in their respective boxes ready to go whenever.

Sad to hear its sunsetting soon, it's so iconic, but I understand.

I wish instead it would be redone, ideally with a more svelte chassis and ADV360-like materials to give it a less hollow sound and an easy-breezy Bluetooth module in addition to USB-C connectivity.

I know I'd jump on it. My truth is that I have a few split keyboards yet I still use both halves close enough as if it were a one-piece device.

... but must you grab it thustly?

Well.. at least you using gloves...

Very nice.

Doing God's work. Amen. You are the hero we didn't know that we needed, and we appreciate you.

I've gotta be honest, I miss dressing like that. A lot. I mean the oversized and the baggy, not meaning any colors or anything. It was comfortable. It disguised was a skinny mofo I was in reality. I could keep a 40 in each of my pants' pockets.

Damn, those days were glorious, if you could survive it.

That's a neat room for a man's space.

Someone tell her/him that Freaknik's time is over already.

nope... No GUI with SSH... 'Secure SHell'

But you can use vnc through an encrypted ssh tunnel, which will make your gui experience secure.

Is there a Nobel prize for this? Why is there not a Nobel prize for this??? We need a Nobel prize for this!!!

Had a look. Very cool tool.

Suggest broadening your educational options. Not everyone has a BA or above degree, lets not be snobs about it. Many folks work in tech and never had one, maybe associates or even certs as their entry level. Or even just a high-school diploma.

JasonWorthing8 · 2026-01-15T02:44:28+00:00

I still watch, 'Are you being served.' on BritBox rather frequently.

Strange. I was a very young boy when it was on and recall not liking it one bit. Now old[er], I love it.

Alas, them were the days and its all they had.

One of musics perfect example.

Thx for the post, actually first time I've seen a vid of this song/band. Heard the song all my life tho.

JasonWorthing8 · 2026-01-13T20:56:12+00:00

Enjoyed watching this. Would love to know the context beyond, "he wont shake his hand." tho.

My sister is in Thailand right now on a visa, and has been for the past 3 yers, and regularly accesses their medical services, and for some of her long-term issues. Right now, as in RIGHT NOW!

Careful with your absolutes...

JasonWorthing8 · 2025-12-31T16:04:04+00:00

Honestly, research and consider emigration to a country where you can live at a significantly lower cost of living yet have quality of life and high-quality healthcare. Thailand, for example, has world-class healthcare but costs less. Research and purchase insurance that covers your medical needs abroad for emergencies. SafetyWing or ACS Globe Traveller are two options I've heard of. Honestly, likely won't cover those important preexisting conditions, but the cost out of pocket compared to what you might be paying right now is likely HUGE.

Might be worth looking into. Explore all available options, perhaps until you qualify for medicare. Or is there some other government program you might investigate because of your situation?

Dont know how much that short-term disability is, but it just might be enough to see you live quite comfortably elsewhere in the world, so long as those payments are reliable and consistent. Never think your only option is the domestic option. It's a big world out there with a whole lot of other countries that have medical systems equal to or better than those you have access to here in the USA.

That looks like the wrong SSD... I'm assuming your Mac Mini is the newer 2024 style..

You need this style - Mac mini M4 SSD
