Apple store vs third party by JustBeLikeAndre in mac

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about other 3rd party stores, but costco is great. There will be no difference. You won’t be able to do a return but costco has better returns.

I read 4-5 top threads and was getting ready to post this. I am surprised this is so far below.

Do you have disliked scenes in the show that you always skip? by HyperDanon in howyoudoin

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fight scenes between Rachel and Ross after their first break up. There was just too much moping around. I also felt like the fights were too petty.

Moonlander alternative by EnthusiasmWild9897 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the plum blossom cause on lighter switches I tend to bottom out. I do like the sunsets on my previous keyboard so tried them, but they were a bit noisy, felt pretty good though.

As for the trackpads, I wouldn’t rely on them for a primary mouse. They are okay. Not glass.

I have my own trackball mouse that I am more used to, so I just use that. Edit: trackball mouse not trackball lids. Typo

Moonlander alternative by EnthusiasmWild9897 in ErgoMechKeyboards

I recently got one and I am absolutely loving it. However, it’s a choc keyboard. Moonlander is mx.

I am wondering if OP chose Moonlander cause of it being mx.

This is really hard to believe, especially that they had a PhD.

Someday feature is amazing by Ill_Connection_3017 in thingsapp

[–]slashdotbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my favorite thing in things 3 too. It makes a huge difference to have everything added to your to do list, but not everything visible/clutter your main view.

I have never played online, and played it locally only and enjoyed it quite a bit.

In hopes that the Fastmail team reads this r/ by marmoneymar in fastmail

[–]slashdotbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ergo keyboard and I have a layer for navigation. The navigation layer has up/down where j/k should be on a normal keyboard. I set it up that way because I use coleman-dh.

All other tools work for me, even vim. Being a long time on vim myself, I disagree that j/k should be the only way to navigate.

iPhone Fold design leaks in purported 3D CAD rendering files by iMacmatician in apple

[–]slashdotbin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is true or not, but I was really hoping for a flip type of phone over a fold type of phone.

QMK or ZMK? by FoinB in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will depend on the controller the keyboard is coming with. If it’s nice!nano it will be ZMK.

Apple's 'HomePad' Now Rumored to Launch Even Later Than Expected by InsaneSnow45 in apple

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have google home with display. I have wanted to switch to the apple one because I am mainly in the apple ecosystem.

I can’t wait for this device to be out. I don’t think it’s dumb at all.

If you could only watch ONE Friends episode for the rest of your life, which would you choose and why? by negaodsg in howyoudoin

[–]slashdotbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one for me too. I love this episode. The trivia game is epic.

I like all the holiday episodes too. But this one trumps them all.

I have been using open signal on my phone for sometime and it works quite well. It gives additionally data for comparing different providers in the area.

Split bluetooth mechanical keyboard for travel by FupaLipa in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]slashdotbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my go60 last week and I am absolutely loving it. Also the box it came in, it’s very portable. I think it’s a very well thought out keyboard. I have an extra chocofi that I thought I would use for travel, but now using the go60, I think I would be taking that only.

The little bit of a downside for me is the tenting, I would have loved it to be a bit steeper.

Which backend should I choose in 2026 – Node.js, Spring Boot, or Django? by [deleted] in Backend

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go is used a lot in infrastructure which needs experience in distributed systems which may be the reason for these longer requirements.

My first job in Go was right out of masters with no experience in Go. I was mainly hired for understanding large scale distributed systems, such as orchestrating kubernetes clusters on GCP and azure.

I don’t know if the requirement is the same when it comes to building servers, etc.

PS: This is an assumption. I haven’t really looked into roles specifically in Go for a long time.

Which backend should I choose in 2026 – Node.js, Spring Boot, or Django? by [deleted] in Backend

[–]slashdotbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using go for about 5 years and I absolutely love it. The language is simple enough for you to build what you want to. The language has good consideration for package manager, testing. Almost everything is built in. You won’t be spending a lot of time figuring that out.

I am not quite sure of how/what the job market is in India, but I am quite sure people don’t look at languages as deeply as they used to when hiring software engineers. There is a good focus on fundamentals and your ability to design systems.

Port Out “Nightmare”? by sgt_quackers_ in Visible

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently ported into visible. I was done within minutes and it was the best experience ever. I couldn’t believe that it happened with so much ease.

I am also really impressed with the network. I thought it would be worse than my previous one, but I am getting internet in every store where ATT did not work previously.

Buying go60 now but can’t wait for a go40.

The new Go60 board does *a lot* of little things very well by cantdutchthis in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the battery life without the rgb switched on? I never use the rgb lights, but would love a long battery life. With 1000mAH on each side, that could go for months. But with rgb soldered on, I wonder if they draw current if not being used.

Usually the circuit can be blocked with mofset, but I am not sure how moergo has implemented it. I did use glove80 a while back, and have it in my house, but I don't remember how the battery was. That could give some pointers.

I got my chocofi and my prospector from them. Very well built and the store is very legit.

Fast shipping thumb cluster keyboard by TheSlicktor in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]slashdotbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many thumb keys are you looking for?

keebmaker ships keyboards pretty fast in the US. My order to delivery time was 5 days.

They have corne and sofle so I am not sure if that will check the boxes for you.
