Nice work! This was the reason I moved my homelab stack to k8s with Cilium.

Why not do something that'd solve this once and for all like:

• Forcing the companies to have open source software for transmission unit so it can be vetted what they are transmitting
• Mandatory requirement to make the network connectivity optional, if someone wants they should be able to just pull the transmission module out. Not everyone wants/likes constant surveillance.

And this should be for all vehicles irrespective of country of origin or make

https://www.usememos.com/ is another option that's super light weight and self hostable.

For that part, I'd be equally scared of any company, no matter it's origin. So as solution, I'd prefer if we get laws that ensures there is option for concerned users to completely disable remote telemetry. I don't need my car internet connected just so I can see the tire pressure in an app, I'd rather a car not share my location 24/7 and driving data only for companies to sell it to cheapest bidder.

Oh I wasn't aware of Vial. Thank you for introducing me. I'm using Cheapino so its not supported but I'll see if I can make it.

Digging some more, I found out that this happens only on the side that has encoder. Holding the layer keys that are on the micro-controller side and rotation encoder yields expected results. So I'm guessing its something to do with the matrix fix. My C isn't that sharp so I'll try to dig through and see what I can find.

cool thanks, I started with that and has already started modifying the layout

The function of the encoder is custom code, you need to Edit the encoder.c file to tweak it.

yeap, found it but the issue is that when encoder is rotated, it switches back to default layer. So, the code to use different things in different layers doesnt work. This is the code I have:

void turned(bool clockwise) {
    if (IS_LAYER_ON(0)) {
        tap_code16(clockwise ? LCTL(KC_PGDN) : LCTL(KC_PGUP));
    } 
    else if (IS_LAYER_ON(1)) {
        tap_code(clockwise ? KC_VOLU : KC_VOLD);
    } 
    else if (IS_LAYER_ON(2)) {
        tap_code16(clockwise ? LALT(KC_TAB) : LALT(LSFT(KC_TAB)));
    } 
    else if (IS_LAYER_ON(5)) {
        tap_code(clockwise ? KC_MS_WH_DOWN : KC_MS_WH_UP);
    }
    // else {
    //     tap_code16(clockwise ? LGUI(KC_Y) : LGUI(KC_Z));
    // }
}

P.s. You know you can tweak the led? Turn it off/change color and brightness, all using the qmk rgb keys. (Just wondered if the thing on top is to dim the light:)

Haha...yeap thats exactly what it was for, #define RGBLIGHT_LIMIT_VAL 2 helped me solve it.

We were talking about it for a bit but didn't want to spend all the time figuring out things. So when we came across Cheapino, my friend was like fuck it let's do this and it happened.

Curious, how well rollers work in that location? Are you using index finger or thumbs for those?

Maybe try looking it up.

Electric resistance heating is 100% energy efficient in the sense that all the incoming electric energy is converted to heat

Baseboard heating is 100% efficient but heat pumps can be up to 400% efficient. Depending on model and outside temperature. This is because hear pump is not generating heat its just moving it from one place to another. In AC mode from inside to outside of house and in heating mode from outside to inside.
