Sometimes I get a smile out of hearing my partners little snores. Sometimes they jump out and startle me awake with full on fight or flight.

Everything the NFL touches. It’s a shitty version of table top games that destroys the life of many of it’s participants. Games workshop can’t even compare.

This looks about right for a week long fishing trip with the boys.

Could be worse you could live in the States or North Korea… It’s getting hard to tell the difference other that that the current firing squads are restricted to convinced criminals…

And election reform right? That was a huge part of his initial platform.

Dont worry it will totally happen and we won’t need a functioning executive branch to enforce the judges ruling on the executive branch.

The rich when tax cuts go into effect. It’s always been a mass transfer of wealth and the plan from the beginning. It’s why we always knew any bargaining was bull.

Load side here essentially means end of the chain. So Breaker ---- anything else ----- GFI - Bidet ----nothing else.

When you put a GFI receptical on a line there are two ways, either in series or parallel, if you do it in series then everything down stream of that outlet is protected by GFI. One thing you dont want to happen is two GFI on the same line, so if you have GFI breakers in your box dont add a GFI outlet on one.

Good luck, its easy enough to install because its the same as really any outlet, you just need to know where it is in the chain.

Are there any sources for this, or are we just supposed to take a random AM radio station and random website that lists its executive board without real names, links to other verifiable profiles, or any way of proving its legitimacy?

Thankfully switches are one of the easiest changes to make. Get a switch test set with a bunch of different ones, or just but a few samples and install them to see if you like them.

I am 8 years into my current position, and 20+ in my industry and the only thing that keeps me going has been the constant evolution of the technology and workflows. If you are starting to feel burnout along with that itch, then maybe you dont need a new job but some different focus. Right now I am working with my manager to slightly reduce my primary focus and expand into some other areas where my unique skills and ADHD can be put to more productive use. We are always looking for new markets, workflows, and products but we never have enough time to dedicate someone to exploring that, so I am trying to build it into my job description.

As long as I keep learning new stuff, playing with new things, and pushing the boundaries I can handle the rest of the job.

I wonder what changed in 2025? /S

If only there was a left wing maybe they would have voted…

You probably can if you swap out the switch, what switches did you buy with the keyboard?

Cons: Shipping (unrelated to keyboard): it took 3 weeks to get here

Most this stuff is shipping from China, so not only did they just have Lunar New Year where everyone goes on vacation, but they also had a major change in Tariff structure with lots of uncertainty. I have had packages from Keychron DHL’ed from China to rural US in 2-3 days before, and also had stuff take 2+ weeks via other methods.

Keys / Spacebar - It’s quite a high profile position and I find myself double-hitting the spacebar often which appears to have a hare-trigger The spacebar is needlessly long, and my thumb can’t quite reach the Alt or Win key without contorting my hand. On my laptop, the spacebar begins at C and ends at M. Here it starts at X and ends at ,

So laptop keyboards are often shortened and profiled to be as small as possible. The space bar on your Q1 is actually a normal size and profile, any other standard Cherry or OEM keyboard will be nearly identical. There are custom keyboards and builds that have shorter or even longer options, as well as convex or flat profiles like LAS or DAS. You are just not used to a real keyboard because you have been living with laptop chicklets which are their own hell.

Customization Modifying it in Linux is proving to be painful. The qmk cli requires a full reflash, but no easy way to set macros VIA has easy macros, but has no cli just a shitty Electron app that requires you to set your keyboard permissions to World Accessible for chrome to detect it (which is creepy).

https://config.qmk.fm/#/keychron/q1v2/ansi/LAYOUT_ansi_82 You can create keymaps and macros on the QMK website and then flash to the keyboard via the toolbox.

https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases You can also download VIA as an application so you dont need to use Chrome.

Gaming I knew that some keyboards are better for typing and others for gaming, but I did not think the difference would be so big. The arrow keys could be a lot more responsive I’ve never noticed this issue with a normal keyboard.

What switches do you have installed, switch type can make a HUGE difference in responsiveness and error rate.

I guess I love the look and feel of it, but it’s incredibly frustrating to modify as a linux user and I’m making tons of mistakes with it whilst typing. Is this all normal? Do I eventually get used to it? Or should I send it back and just use a normal $20 keyboard that I can just type and forget about.

I daily Linux and got Keycron keybords specifically because they can be configured, have open firmware, can be customised, and are high quality at a reasonable price.

I will say that if you have previously been a laptop only user or are used to mobile chicklet style keyboards moving to a “normal” keyboard can be hard. I grew up in the PS2 era with an IBM Model M and old Alps Mac keyboards so I struggle more with laptops than I do actual keyboards.

I actually bought a compact low profile Keychron K17 Pro so I dont have to use my laptop keyboard when I travel for work!

Almost all your issues are because its new, and unfamiliar to you, and with some setup and maybe some customization your Q1 will be your new home and you will miss it when you dont have it.

Not exactly Macro’s but I have several custom key codes because I need them to pass through my KVM HID port so I can still use my keyboard for KVM switching.

Visio:

CAP+ W - Center Window
CAP+ G - Group 
CAP+ F - Ungroup 
CAP+ R - Right Align
CAP+ L - Left Align
CAP+ C - Center Align
CAP+ B - Bottom Align
CAP+ T - Top Align
CAP+ M - Middle Align
CAP+ V - Vertical Space
CAP+ H - Horizontal Space

Windows: CAP+ S - Snip tool

Linux: CAP+ SLK - Rectangular Region in Spectacle

I probably have some more but thats what I can think of off hand.

Lol no we can get so much dumber!

Also because we dont have the construction experience of building FAB’s, and we have different building regulation and standards.

25% tariffs on steel also wont make it any cheaper.

Older printers often require more maintenance and old software. If people struggle to set the clock on their microwave how do you expect then to plug in and use an old printer with Windows XP drivers.
