You know your keyboard project is doing well when you only realize you left out the spacebar when you go to film a video on it

@foone need to make weirdly precise marketing material to document it like "support for all your favorite visible glyphs and modifiers"

Bad idea: since there's a mechanical limit to how much you can cool down a CPU, design a motherboard with a rotary barrel.

While one CPU is used, the other five can be cooling down!

@foone Fritchens Fritz, who takes a lot of photos of delidded CPU dice, looked at a running Zen 2 chip with no cooler under a thermal cam. The self protection logic keeps moving the work to a less overheated core: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTYIT2_KEQE

Back when I was a kid I had an idea to generate a randomized alphabet and then program my computer to only use that font, then I'd slowly learn to read it.
Then no one could read text over my shoulder!

I never did it, but in the era of MS Recall, maybe I should bring it back.

Here's a weird question: so Dynix made a text-based library catalog system that used Wyse terminals, and they shipped them with custom keyboards. They had four keys above the numpad: one of these keys was Start Over/New Search.

Does anyone remember having used these terminals, and recall what those other keys were?

@foone (Sent me down a rabbit hole re: Dynix. 190K lines of a data-centric flavor of BASIC! 😮)
