This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

I'd be curious to see how this works with different keyboards. They tested it on a single membrane laptop keyboard, but we don't know how it profiles the sound. Is it entirely based on the frequency of keystrokes, or on tone? Did they have to train it on that specific keyboard before it was able to identify keystrokes?

Depending on the implementation, it may pay off to have a less common keyboard with modified acoustics. They may know what every identical sounding Apple laptop sounds like, but how are they going to know about switches, keycaps, and mods?
