Love this. What is that e-ink looking device on the right? Looks super slick

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a remarkable 2. Really cool device with a hacking community too. You can ssh right into it. It runs Linux

Yeah like the other commenter said it's a Remarkable 2.

I've had it for about 2 years. Use it every day. Still going strong. Previously I had notepads everywhere constantly rifling through them.

At the time I bought mine all cloud functionality was free, but since then they've introduced additional cloud stuff with a subscription which is free for me. I personally think it's fair enough but they lost a lot of their die hard followers. You don't need the subscription you just don't get those functions. Probably the only feature I use which is behind the paywall would be screen share. During a video call or teams meeting I can cast the remarkable screen to my desktop so I can draw diagrams. I do this all the freakin time.

Hello, fellow Keychron user

I wonder if the noise is too much for a library?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nah they're gateron reds, not noisy at all.

[–] RickRussell_CA 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Although the Keychron keyboards with Gateron reds are still a LOT louder than a membrane keyboard, like a Microsoft 600 or something.

I mean, I love my Keychrons, but if silence was a priority you'd really want a keyboard designed for low noise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Silence is not really a priority, I just don't want to be obnoxiously loud.

There's signs up in this library saying that it's not a quiet area, noise is ok and expected. There are people on the phone / video calls et cetera.

Please let those be red switches.

Good. So you aren't pissing off the entire library.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I did kinda choose these switches for this reason, I'm always using this keyboard in shared areas.

This library has signs up saying that it's not a quiet library, noise is permitted and expected. That said the clackety clack would've been a dramatic and unnecessary flex.

I'd probably go nuts if someone came in with a keyboard with blue switches and started going ham with typing in my library. That being said, it is the superior switch.

Hello, fellow Linux and M14 user.

FYI, the TEX Shura is quite nice :)

I can't think that's so much pad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool to know I’m not the only one who has work-from-library days :-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.
