Huion? I've heard sanded down (so they fit in the port) USB C cables that support DP output works.


yes. And unfortunately it seems that the "port" extenders you can buy don't support DP and after I bought a seemingly DP-capable cable of AMZ and sanded it down (it didn't work) I stopped.


Welcome to the world of ergo niche keyboards. Basically everything that isn't a Microsoft Ergo or clone is $200+ and it only gets more expensive as you get further from that. An alternative to this is building one yourself.


Mine seems to accept it and just strip it. I'm not sure the exact HDCP version it accepts but I can capture a Blu-ray from my PS3 with it which you are not normally supposed to do (it won't even play Blu-rays over component).


Ooh, interesting.


There is the org-noter package for emacs that will do a similar thing with PDFs but for org mode instead of markdown.


Probably Karabiner Elements?


Yeah, I've used that, but MacOS has the modifier keys built in now - System Preferences -> Modifier Keys - Caps, Control, Option, Command, Function are all there.


There's utilities like keyd and kmonad to remap keys system wide on Linux. I've used keyd because the config is simpler for what I want. Works in tty, X11, remote. Also does layers and other fancy tricks.


For a phone. Android has set the bar incredibly low. Kobo has supported their $130 Kobo Touch eReader from 2011 longer than any iOS device. On PCs its trivial to run modern software even on ancient hardware like a Pentium 4 with Linux/BSDs. Even Windows can let you easily get 15 years out of a device.


It wasn't good then either. Still a bloated mess and even worse you were more forced to use it as literally nothing else could do something like put a CBZ in a 3rd party app unless it happened to support Dropbox or something similar. It's just terrible.


The GC didn't ship with a modem at all even in early not cost reduced models. There may have been some bundles with a modem for PSO1&2 or Homeland but there was only 4 games in its entire library that could even go online.

The Dreamcast had a built in modem and some models of PS2 had one built in.

Yeah that's what I meant (GC and DC too similar acronyms -- easy to typo). I did say elsewhere that the GC's online capabilities required an addon whereas the DC shipped with one).

That said, there were a few special edition Dreamcasts that shipped with the ethernet adapter instead of a modem. They weren't common but they did exist.

I've got a GC and DC sat next to me too -- unfortunately neither with an ethernet adapter. I do have a DreamPi hooked up on the DC though.

> there was only 4 games in its entire library that could even go online.

5 actually, though the 5th only went online for DLC. That said, you can argue that it's a bit of a stretch to call PSO and PSO+ different games.

It's also worth noting that there were a few other GC games that supported the ethernet addapter too albeit for LAN play rather than online. This was in addition to those games also supporting crossover cable.

> and some models of PS2 had one built in.

The original models didn't have it. It was only the slimline models that had ethernet and they were released quite late in the life of the PS2. The previous models required a hardware expansion adapter to provide online functionality (like the GC). Sony were pretty late to the game in that regard because Sega and Microsoft had already proven online gaming by that point.

I believe there was a modem adapter for the PS2 too, but I don't know much about that.


My physical book library is not very big. Maybe 30 books and a lot are just textbooks I should probably get rid of with few exceptions. I deliberately got rid of a lot of them. I rarely buy physical books anymore. I think I bought 1 in the past year.

My ebook library is much bigger. Several hundred to low thousands depending on whether stuff like individual comics count. I don't currently have it well organized and in one place. There's also the question of whether PDFs of books I downloaded from the library count as books I own? (Some never expire).

There's a mix of reference material and recreational but it's mostly recreational, at least stuff I purchased. I'm still not satisfied with the state of ePub textbooks so I'll only buy digitally as a last resort option.
