I like this bluetooth desktop keyboard. Sold in the US only though, and doesn’t ship internationally. Oh well…
And with all the mechanical keyboard fethishism among hardcore geeks nowadays, low-travel scissor-mechanism keyboards are sacrilege nowadays. Nevermind it practically comes from IBM, and that it has a built-in trackpoint.
I like good-quality scissor mechanism keyboards, way better than mushy mass-market mechanical keyboards.

#konsumtivisme #iftttAda yang nulis ini berkait kasus Apartemen Green:
“No one is saying you can’t go and write a review. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence. Things you put on the internet to attack a business have real-world consequences and that really resonated with the jury. You can’t go and burn someone’s house down and claim free speech.”
Well you know something? Sometimes revolutions require people to burn some houses down. And when apartments begin frickin’ *JAILING* tenants for protesting inadequate facilities then, well, let’s get angry.
Lu punya modal bukan berarti lu dewa. Konsumen tuh manusia, bukan tai. Lu jual ya kita juga beli. Cari makan sih cari makan, tapi kalo lu ngajak perang ya ayo perang.
Tai.
Oke gini deh, ketika terbakar dan emosi marah-marah banyak tindakan kita yang saling merugikan dan berdampak tidak diinginkan. Tentu ada baiknya bila semua pihak berkepala dingin. Setuju.
….DI LAIN PIHAK, jangan sampai kasus Apartemen Green ini menjadi remake episode RS Omni. Itu aja sih kalo gw.
Ingat kasus Rumah Sakit Omni? Seorang ibu dipenjara karena memprotes pelayanan dari si rumah sakit swasta?
Aku sendiri terus terang akan menyayangkan, kalau kasus Apartemen Green ini menjadi semacam re-run RS Omni jilid II. Jangan lah.

Carizzo is not available yet for desktop… until next year…
Can I grab a cheap ultrabook, for the meanwhile..?
So a few months ago I lost the ‘Esc’ key on my wireless keyboard, and yesterday I lost the 'Q’.
Not going to buy a new keyboard for now, but the next time I do I really want to get a Keychron K4 mk.2.
Replica walkman that you put your phone inside —
Pl8ty is a walkman-styled Bluetooth speaker recently crowdfunded on Kickstarter and Indiegogo: you slide your phone inside, as if it were a cassette tape, for a more uncannily pseudoauthentic retro e-perience. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB, working control buttons, and doubles as a 3200mAh powerbank. It accepts phones up to 153mm × 77mm × 8.6mm and comes in red, black or blue.

What is Right To Repair? And why are Apple, Tesla, John Deere etc. against it? And what can consumers actually do about it?
I would like to hack Facebook into becoming my RSS-Feed reader, somehow…
And additionally, hack email updates to route into a customized RSS feed…
IFTTT should be updated to gain this ability, somehow…
Not all contents of the whole Feed mind you, no; just a hyperlink with a post-title will do.
I’d be more than glad to read the original content at the original Website, whether or not it is (Android/iOS-style) Mobile-browser-friendly.
I’ve been a freelance writer for 21 years and a freelance book ghostwriter for 10, and even I still make stupid mistakes… like giving clients a break on my fee. Never, ever do this. I had an author from the West Coast with a really interesting book idea and a comprehensive outline. Outlining is a big part of my task, so when he sent me the outline and asked if I might drop my price a bit, I said “What the hell.” First mistake.
I should note that this gent is quite affluent, so he could have paid my fee with no trouble.
Predictably, over the coming weeks, his entire outline got thrown out and we went back to square one.
Second mistake: I mentioned that I could throw together a quick book proposal for him if he wanted to seek a publisher. This turned into him guilting me into doing a full-length proposal, a project for which I usually charge $8,000. Did he offer to pay me for the extra work or even thank me for it? Perish the thought.
Over the ensuing months, this hell-client managed to get me to edit speeches for him and even design a reader quiz, all without fee or even thanks, simply because I had established myself as a pushover to an author who was an entitled narcissist. The final straw was the seventh draft of an initial book chapter that we both agreed I absolutely crushed. It was perfect. No more changes needed. Until the next day when my client sent me a page of them.
Your faithful idiot (me) went back to my contract and, to my horror, realized that when I had updated my work for hire agreement, I had removed the typical “three rounds of revisions” clause, leaving myself unprotected from the client’s endless changes.
Camel’s. Back. Broken. I fired the client the next day, ate the remaining fees I had coming, and breathed a sigh of relief. To my knowledge, he’s still editing his chapter two months later.
The moral of the story: we’re all susceptible to wanting to be kind, but to quote Admiral Akbar, it’s a trap. Clients who want to work with us can pay our full fees and pay us for any extra work. To do otherwise opens us up to being taken advantage of. In fact, I’m raising my fees.
Yeah. Caveat emptor. My sympathies.
This still needs development though. Right now it’s still just a napkin doodle.
The ideal model, of course, is everything promised is delivered at 100% SLA. But let me ask you, really, how realistic is that?
