What would you recommend? I'm going to run this one for now, but in the future I could see myself getting a nicer keyboard. Desk space is limited, though, so I do like how this one is really compact.

    Thank you very much! I have not removed the plate on the board yet to actually look at the switches from underneath, but when I find some more time to take off each key cap I will. Although, I was already kinda thinking what you are saying here. It seems like a really budget keyboard, but it does the job I require of it, especially for $10.

    I am doing what I can to find this information out myself, whether through experimenting or looking online, but one thing I am struggling to figure out is if my keyboard has hot swappable switches or not. I tried giving the switches a tug with a flat head screwdriver, but I am scared to break it and I don't have a switch puller. They seemed to be coming up on one side, but when I would start working on the other side it would pop back down on the initial side. Also, the switches have a brown "actuation point" with a white "base" and say Outemu on them.

    I understand this is a cheap GameStop keyboard, but I got it in pretty nice condition from a thrift store for about $10US. I just needed something to make uni work more comfortable.

    Thank you so much for any help! I can send photos if that helps.

    I'm always cold when flying, so I just layer up. Jeans, sweatpants, short sleeve, long sleeve, sweater, jacket, hat. Then, I put various items in my various pockets. Phone, earbuds, snack bars, bar of soap, small articles of clothing, maybe a tshirt in my jacket pocket, a shoe in each sweatpants pocket. The rest goes in my carry on, no luggage fees.

    It is degrading and shitty and you bet your bottom dollar they know it. They use this language as just a smaller part of the larger machine the right wing government uses to gather tone deaf and ignorant citizens and encourage them to hegemonize people who don't look like them. I'll tell you that for free.

    Unfortunately I have excessive battery drain in the left earbud of my Sony WF XM4 set. I really like these earbuds and I am going to at least try to fix them. Has anyone here done any thing like this before?

    It makes sense, honestly, that the left runs down faster than the right, I use just the left at work all day everyday and only use the right at home maybe once a week. The left lasts 2.5 hours, the right lasts six or more.

     

    Looking for a FOSS SMS app that is fully compatible with Android 14. I've had issues with finding one, I used to use (I think) QKSMS, but it started to crash when I upgraded to LOS 21. Now I just use the LineageOS SMS app, I think it is AOSP messages.

    What SMS apps do you use? No required features. Scheduled texts are nice, though.

     

    Hello!

    I was unsure where to post this question, but I figure that this community is as good of a place as any.


    I am looking for wireless mouse suggestions. I currently use a Lenovo ThinkPad Bluetooth mouse "MOBTC9LA". It is fine and serves its purpose, but it is horribly small and uncomfortable as well as wasteful in regards of using AA batteries.

    My basic requirements are wireless and preferably rechargeable via USB C, but micro USB is okay if USB C isn't available. I would also prefer if it were Bluetooth. I see a few listed online, but I was hoping for a real human suggestion as opposed to sifting through paid off and fake reviews.

    Thanks in advance for any guidance!
