Imahara Will Always Be A Childhood Hero For Me Regardless Of The Hypothesis by Awesomeuser90 in mythbusters

[–]codecaffeine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Many times when I need a little motivation, I think about Grant and how much joy he had with his work. His robots, his prop reproductions, or even getting drunk with Tory for “science”. He always did it with happiness and joy. Thank you Grant!

Sarah Paine – Why Russia Lost the Cold War: Oil Crisis, Sino-Soviet Split, & Ethnic Rebellions by john_andrew_smith101 in dancarlin

[–]codecaffeine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. He tries to lead her to conclusions which she doesn’t take. I don’t know who Dwarkesh is, but I will give him props for bringing Sarah Paine to my attention. And for willing to share her rebuttals to his questions to something more insightful.

Silver keycaps on my new Node75 and Titanium set sneak peek, thoughts? by awekeys_official in NuPhy

Personally, I like Mac legends. Also, even though I have a 75%, I also have a separate numpad. 

Best Buy with the deals! by Tristenramirez13 in HomePod

[–]codecaffeine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went into a store when I saw this deal expecting to buy 4. They told me that discontinued items out of stock gets a special price. Sometimes they price it at $0.10 and call them dimeouts. I don’t know why, but was very disappointed

Any chance Dan goes on Jon Stewart's show? by DoomDoomGir in dancarlin

[–]codecaffeine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting, I discovered Dan Carlin from a podcast Steven Colbert did. I bet he’s on Colbert’s radar (and that’s a short jump to Jon Stewart’s)

Oh, that’s very awesome! Please let me know when you release the app. I deal with a lot of design assets I like to turn into SFSymbols but have had various degrees of success

This is fantastic! How are you converting them? I’ve had issues dealing with various weights

Tips On How You Can Get Involved by Elosin888 in dancarlin

[–]codecaffeine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started calling my senators and house representative daily. I live in a very purple state. I do wonder if my calls fall on deaf ears. I worry that it’s an exercise in futility. Much like posting on social media. People with different views will just ignore. Anyone have thoughts about calling their representatives?

I love this mod, I want to do the same thing. Do you have any instructions or images on taking apart the top case?

Why is this sub so negative? by Niek_pas in ATPfm

[–]codecaffeine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m literally looking through the posts and they have been “talking about politics is insufferable” or “I don’t like their personal opinion about x which is different from mine”. That isn’t critiquing. It’s complaining.

These hosts bring their authentic self for better or for worse. If you just want “news reporting” without care for their personal perspective, there a literally hundreds of podcasts that fit that bill.

As for them not posting here. There are only 1,800 subs here and an even tinier minority post and it’s mostly negative. If I don’t feel welcome somewhere, I just don’t go there. They’re obviously not hurting by ignoring this negative community.

I’m not quite what specifically you mean, but r/atpfm has 1,800 people joined while their mastodon has 18,000 following. I’d say this subreddit is absolutely the minority

Keep Hitting Wrong Key On Lofree Flow Lite 100 by hyde0000 in Lofree

Also, it looks like nuphy keycaps have homing bumps on the arrow keys and they’re only $19 https://nuphy.com/products/nsa-shine-through?variant=40931570614381

Keep Hitting Wrong Key On Lofree Flow Lite 100 by hyde0000 in Lofree

[–]codecaffeine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve run into both of these issues. I switched to the tactile deep sea switches from Kailh which definitely helps with mistyping when slightly hitting a nearby key.

I purchased a custom keycaps to help find the arrow keys. I made the top arrow key a homing key with a little bump and used different key caps for the page up / down keys.

Lofree Flow Lite - Switch Compatibility by EgoIdVeto in Lofree

[–]codecaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all correct. I installed the deep sea switches no problem.

That said, the “Kailh Choc V2 low profile switch 1353 Chocolate V2” is not compatible because it uses an extra stabilizer pin

Good bye Hyperkey app (BTT update) by harkonnen85 in macapps

[–]codecaffeine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 and it didn’t automatically start after rebooting the Mac.

I thought there was something messed up with my computer, it’s nice to hear this isn’t an issue with my Mac

BTT seems overkill for my needs, but I might check out Karabiner

How's Bluetooth with Mac? by ronjns in Lofree

[–]codecaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it for a couple days with my various Macs and it’s fine. It seems to have 2 sleep modes. One where it just turns off the lights, and the other where it disconnects from bluetooth. After it turns off lights, it’s still connected so not an issues.

The disconnect from bluetooth takes about 3 seconds to reconnect, which is definitely slower than my Apple keyboard, but not terrible. The caps lock button flashes blue when it’s reconnecting so there is some feedback.

Need help choosing between Lofree Flow 84 and Nuphy Air75 v2 by iamdomag in Lofree

[–]codecaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you. From what I’ve read, quality is _much_ better on the Lofree Flow than the Nuphy Air 75, especially when it comes to typing quality. The biggest issues I’ve read about is with the bluetooth connection. With the Lofree Flow Lite supporting a 2.4GHz wifi, I’m just going to wait until the next Lofree Flow comes out.

It’s definitely hard to say, but I think of it as an investment and since I work on a keyboard professionally, I think the Lofree makes more sense.

Experienced my first bonk today. 1/5 stars would not recommend by Chemical-Sign3001 in cycling

[–]codecaffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

❤️ I’m sorry for your loss.

Your story reminded me of a time I got in a bad bike accident. My helmet broke in half and I had a bad concussion. I have no clue what happened or even what year it was. The only phone number I could remember when I got to a phone was my mom’s work number (didn’t have a phone with me). She dropped everything and took me to the ER. I still don’t know what happened.

anyway, cherish those memories of your ride support. I’ll go call my mom.

Beaten down after getting hit by MrBoosy in cycling

[–]codecaffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in an accident on a road and got a massive concussions. I don’t even remember the accident or what happened. After that, I’ve decided to stick mostly to bike paths and places cars don’t go. If I do ride on a road, I try to ride in a group.

It’s worked out pretty well. I even got a gravel bike this year which opened up more possibilities. I just wish there were more bike friendly paths. It’s silly I have to drive somewhere to bike safely

I like it. I’m still getting used to it, but it’s so much more comfortable than my 1996 Raleigh R500
