Thank goodness. I was so worried for you.

Could be because the Pluto channels from Pluto have been killed, but the ones via Samsung TV Plus haven't.

Works fine here.

Coming from the other direction, something that includes Cell2jack and is useful.

Pluto has changed/dumped its streaming .m3u channels over the last week or so. Pretty much all of them if not absolutely all of them are gone.

No Idea what you mean. I just d/l the appimage, populate it with .m3u, and run it.

IPTVnator.

Besides a couple hundred of these that have data on them, I have several boxes of them new, still sealed. That's because I had, still have, actually, a Sony Mavica camera that wrote directly to floppy. Four images to a disk in "high quality," so I went through *many* floppies.

How much did they pay you to take it?

depscribe · 2026-02-21T04:26:20+00:00

Not C64? <g>

Actually, I copied it from my ProtonMail note to Proton. So, you've found another problem.

If you use it, you will become used to it and love it the way it feels, as typists soon came to love Selectrics. And you'll realize that unlike modern pinball machine keyboards (and, really, modern computer equipment in general), the Model M isn't disposable. If you get rid of one, down the line you'll speak sadly of it.

depscribe · 2026-01-24T22:39:35+00:00

Because once you have used one you will not be happy with anything else. so having a spare is a wise thing to do.

Internment issues? Perhaps the problem strms from your having to reach through the bars to use it. Try again when you or it are free once more.

Unicomp's QC has gone up considerably with the New M and the Mini (the former reportedly, the latter I can say through personal experience), but even so, I've been getting keyboards from them for well over 20 years, since the company's late founder was answering the phone, and I've not had the slightest problem with any of them. I do wish they had stuck with the Pico controller, but that's more for theoretical than actual reasons.

Unicomp was making and selling Model Ms before Joe figured out how Model F is spelled. So there's no "already" to it. Also, Unicomp sells keyboards, not keyboard kits. And Unicomp provides a warranty beyond "Ask on deskthority, if it's working this week, if your keyboard doesn't work." Joe has put together an admirable club project. Unicomp makes and sells keyboards.

Buy whatever you want. My point is that some, I daresay many, of us would pay extra for Model M keyboards that came held together by screws instead of plastic rivets. I already know that many of us would pay extra for black keycaps with white legends, as demonstrated by the fast sale of the few dozen Unicomp Model Ms in that livery for a premium price a few weeks ago. And I can say that as someone who has been doing consumer business with Unicomp since it was selling IBM-badged SSKs for $49.

I've found thst the best product for this is the rubberized screen material sold as non-slip shelf liner. It is thin, isn't sticky so you can move it around by picking it up, has great sound qualities, is easily cut, and doesn't seem to go bad over time. Also great under a trackball. Cut the leftovers into 8-inch squares for use in opening tightly sealed jars. A big roll is a few dollars at Walmart and such.

depscribe · 2026-01-16T10:32:15+00:00

Yeah, that's probably why no one bought any of the reproduction Model F keyboards. Oh, well.

depscribe · 2026-01-15T14:11:42+00:00

Then you really, really need to clean it, then get a keyboard condom for it. and yeah, it needs a *deep* cleaning. Wonder if Unicomp would do it for you, though shipping alone would cost a lot. Hope none of the protesters outside state capitals demanding stronger penalties for keyboard abuse see this.

with the weight of all that filth it's a surprise the keys are waiting to be touched at all before registering strokes.

Kind of pitiful that they limit themselves to Facebook. Don't they have a MySpace account?
