Same! I was taken aback and offended all at once then refreshed to get rid of the ad which thankfully still works… But for how long more is the question 😭

Oh, what does stopping users from unlocking the bootloader do? It’s sad to hear that it’s a decisive factor if the zenphone 9 was otherwise perfect

Will do! It’s still a month or so off being shipped but I’m excited about it!

I used the 2 and currently use the 4a (coming up to 3 years this Oct) but I think that’s the end of the line for me on pixels cause they’re just getting too big for someone with really small hands.

My three wants (in order or priority) for phones are: 1) reasonably small enough (pixel 4a just about fits into this criteria); 2) fingerprint scanner; 3) headphone jack

I’ve got a tiny jelly star from unihertz coming and if that doesn’t work out I’ll probably have to go zenphone cause they’re just about the size of the 4a.

Pity as I do like the pixel line

You can either design your own PCB or handwire. I handwire because it’s cheaper, and I don’t have to order min 5 pieces and have extra lying around after.

Look up QMK, you can do a million different things with the firmware.

They can be as custom as you want! I’ve made a few by coming up with a layout I want, making the 3D model for the case, 3D printing it out and handwiring it up myself, then doing the firmware for it.

You can make something that once only existed in your head into something you use every single day!

I read the post that went into further detail and infinity’s creator was looking for intern/entry level software developer jobs… so definitely not on the same profile level unfortunately

On iOS you’ll find them in TestFlight, for android on their githubs

Oh I might have to take a look at that, I also use FreeCAD! Damn look at all these things you’re introducing me to 😂

My next build was (probably) going to be a remix of the iris and I wanted to include a joystick so I could use it 4 ways (towards left, highlight words to left; to right, layer; up down, vol controls).

I’d never come across 4/5 way switches before so that’s definitely something I’ll be looking into! Thanks for sharing!!

What CAD program do you use for designing your cases?

I started off with the quefrency, a split ‘normal’ keyboard, then started making my own (3d printed handwired) orthos.

Then I saw the alu case for iris and got tempted but am unwilling to drop >$300 on a layout I’ve never used before, so designed my own case with tilt and 3d printed and handwired that (all for ~£30 only!! split orthos CAN be cheap! - my first post on Lemmy was on this :D) And have been daily driving it so far

Column staggered is defo the way to go

Did you get this from Tumblr

😂 no I got this name from that village/town in RuneScape where they give you a village name

Thanks for making this post, I’ve just created an account on bookwyrm!

My account is: denton@bookwyrm.social

I mostly read queer (romance) books but also like thriller/drama/black mirror-esque (not the shitshow s5 was though) type books

If you like/mainly read queer books please do feel free to drop recs!

Edit: I will say I wasn’t the best at keeping up with adding books I’d read to Goodreads
