Anecdotally, I see them all the time in my neighborhood, and they seem much more attentive to pedestrians and stop signs than regular drivers. Drivers in this neighborhood act like they own the place even though there's probably an equal number of pedestrians out at any given time.

I've also seen one of them fail to pull over when an emergency vehicle was behind it, so I buy that they are causing some problems.

I use fish because I have better things to do than tweak my shell configuration and debug shell plugins.

When I tried oh-my-zsh and prezto (I think?) they came with tons of plugins that performed badly and made it hard to get things done (specifically, they ran git status synchronously on every new prompt, which does not work well in a moderately large repo). Fish had similar features but wasn't horribly slow, so I use it.

What is the value of shipping a laptop with Linux when the user can easily load their distribution of choice? I had an Ubuntu certified laptop from Dell in 2015, I quickly replaced it with fedora, which was much more stable on the hardware.

I actually had originally intended to use the 5 pin switches, but the PCB I ordered only had holes for 3 pin. Fortunately, I had extras. I guess I should've used a case?

It's just a piece of cardboard that I taped it to. I've since replaced the floral washi tape with something more neutral hahaha.

Ferris Sweep High M (sh.itjust.works)

I built two Ferris Sweeps today, one for home, and one for the office. I originally intended to build one, but after I tested the first, I immediately decided I wanted to also use this at work.

I wasn't able to figure out how to align the switches better, so the grid is pretty bad looking. It doesn't impact my typing at all, so I've left it alone.

I think next time, I'll want some kind of case for it, I'm currently using cardboard, and the whole thing is kinda janky looking.

Hi! I'm going to be building a Ferris Sweep soon. I was curious if anyone has experience with tenting one of these things. It's compatible with splitkb's tenting puck, but having a camera tripod on my desk seems like it would be ridiculously tall, meaning I'd need to adjust my desk and monitor in an unreasonable way. I'd like for my legs to be able to fit under the desk.

I've seen some 3d printed tented cases, does anyone have experience with that?
