    My #VIA rail and other trains now having to inch through level crossings.

    I would have thought they’d have back up power for crossings.

  4. 🚨 New Video: I Ditched Razer for a 4-Year-Old Keyboard (And You Should Too)

    Stop buying products designed to fail. After four years on the market, the Keychron Q1 proves that hardware should be a tool you own, not a disposable product you rent. In this video, I break down why I scrapped my Razer Huntsman Elite, a $200 piece of planned obsolescence, for a heavy, modular, and open-source aluminum chassis.

    We dive into the hardware, the hot-swappable switches, QMK/VIA open-source firmware, and the three questions every piece of tech must answer before it earns a spot on my desk.

    Is it repairable?
    Is it modular?
    Is it sovereign?

    100% human made. #NoAI :NoAI:

  14. This is what happens when you match the intellect of Trump and his crowd with a genocidal maniac like Netanyahu. And now a wonderfully historic, deeply troubled country, is being pounded into anarchy.

    "Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

    'The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,' Trump told me. 'It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.' “

    And oh ya, Carney is like…. It’s fine. 👍

  15. New keycaps are installed on the Keychron Q1! I changed to a purple gradient to match the channel's theme. I added a light blue under glow, also part of the theme. Video review of this old (but wonderful) keyboard in the near future.
