@kevin_oreilly7 @iFixit nice! the article mentions you aren’t sure how they do the etching, so i had a look through the patent and it mentions briefly on page 16 that they use a bath of phosphoric acid; i also said this in a comment on the article

Into the rabbit hole with @fanf on where does my computer get the time from?

I knew that NTP relies on atomic clocks but apparently, it involves earth rotation time and a lot of other data layers in between.

An interesting read!

Behold, my newest keyboard

I was going to call it the Carpal Tunnel, but someone in chat suggested Shai-Hulud and now I'm torn

Thoughts? Feedback?

More vandalism from @elonmusk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. Thats - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service.

For example, here’s a search of my media tweets from before 2014. https://t.co/FU6K34oqmA

@cartron what is that software making a mess of my web page?!

[Tony Finch @fanf]

@pihhan i have mapped fn+q etc to f1 etc, tho i basically never use them

fn+1 etc are mapped to media keys and display brightness, so that they match the default behaviour of the F keys on my apple laptop
