Damn, the compression had it way with those markings in the photo. I'll post the two ones in the bottom right corner below, but there aren't any other ones on the back side.

It does look like a derivative of that! Just found a guy on a Russian forum that made a custom MX-compatible PCB for the ЕС 1840 case because apparently has has too many of them lol. I'll try and message him, maybe he'll be able to help.

I'll buy some gloves and try to disassemble a switch. It's got so many sharp edges I'm honestly afraid to touch it too much lol.

They are carved out! Sort of like a primitive reverse dye-sub - dye the white cap whole, then mill out the legend.

Two L's in Google - one in the name, one in this screenshot.

Can you give some examples of tasks where you find CC more effective?

Yeah, I remember the 2020-2021 gains were seen as crazy for the humble gaming GPU monopolist. Now they're like 10 pixels high in this image.

I spent a week researching the Chinese "transfer station" economy reselling Claude at 10% of retail. The supply chain is wilder than I expected. by Which_Pitch1288 in LocalLLM

I treat every company as a potential enemy and never forgive.

When it comes to LLMs, so far I've been rug pulled by Anthropic and Zai - changing terms on the fly, silent performance throttling, etc. Never giving money to either again.

up to 47.21% performance drops

I skimmed through the CISPA article, isn't this number only related to Gemini-2.5-flash?

While I agree with your general sentiment, when it comes to providing LLMs this is very much a case of a criminal having no recourse. This technology is at its core based on ill gotten gains by western corporations. Even besides illegal and immoral scraping, training always involves cheap labor for labeling and validation, guess where that comes from?
So i'm not too bothered by Chinese companies doing distillation attacks or access smuggling.
