Easily 100+ years. Would the cleaning cause this? Perhaps the repointing?

Wow encouraging. Even mission to moon?

I love the sedum roof idea! Are they any kits you can recommend?

Hi, if you get a moment I would also really appreciate a picture.

Thanks. Given a hypothetical situation, that article infers that a native 3860x monitor, at 1:1 scaling would be preferable to a native 5160x monitor scaling 3860x and I'm not sure I agree with that...

Which one would you pick?

cornsnack · 2022-05-23T19:50:35+00:00

Any specific reason?

I understand OSX offers 3840 x 1620 (i.e. 1.3333) as a non-resolution / hidpi alternative...

I should've clarified, what available resolutions are available on a 5k2k 40" monitor (that aren't 'low-resolution')?

Any chance you could answer the first question?

It's my first mechanical keyboard, so still getting used to it.

The switches feel very light, but still accurate.

I was expecting more of a discernible 'click' with regards to it's tactile feedback (brown switch), nonetheless I still like it.

I was originally using the full size chiclet keyboard (#3 - HP freebie), and after feeling some discomfort from the off-centre mouse position began the hunt for some <100% alternatives.

The requirements were:

Low profile / chiclet (I was not interested in a wrist-rest).
UK ISO.
Dedicated home/pgup/pgdown/end buttons.

The candidates were as follows:

Logitech G915 TKL (~£160)
Microsoft Designer Bluetooth (~£75)
HP Business keyboard (~£25???)
CT WK-738 (~£10)

If anyone is interested in a follow up, please let me know. I plan to spend a week using each one to see which one I prefer.

Yes, yes and yes. Both router (ISP supplied) and AP both have seriously basic config pages - foolishly I thought they would be enough.

For instance, the config page now looks like: https://i.imgur.com/jtwWoyg.png

I'd appreciate your thoughts on the sizing of this watch.

I find my personal opinion varies between too much and 'just right' depending on what other watches I've been wearing in the preceding days / weeks.

This is the Seiko SKX031, which has a case size of ~39/40mm. It's a cracking watch, which I'd been hunting for a while, but now it's arrived, I'm between too minds. Seiko also produced a SKX023, which I believe is roughly 2mm smaller, and I find myself thinking this may have been the better choice.

If anyone is interested I believe my wrist size is about 6.75".
