That’s fair, I guess I read that a little wrong

Once you hold it still for a second or two it returns to normal
Its not really an easter egg as far as I can tell. From what I understand it’s used to find the curser easily, similar to wjndows’ control-to-find. It is a bit comical to how big it gets thigh
That does help. One of the things on my to do list was setting up a backup system anyway, so maybe I’ll play with that. Thanks!
Thanks, that’s really helpful. It can be hard to tell between commands and acronyms in conversation with familiarity
This is looking like a good option, thanks!
The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option
Any help with the acronyms? I’m still pretty new to Linux
That’s fair, if you’re just looking for RGB control and don’t care about mechanical switches or macro keys and stuff, then I would check out what @JTheFox@lemmy.world said about openrgb and see what works and is a decent price.
I’m partial to corsair right now, and have had Razer stuff in the past. Both are fine, though still probably (at least slightly) overpriced for what you get. Either way, I don’t think you’ll regret any of the big makers.
Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a “gaming” keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I’ve seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can’t remember off the top of my head
Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information
I’m probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?
Against some better judgement, I did direct burial. I did consider walkie talkies, but heard doesn’t work well in a metal barn (I confirmed I basically have zero cell reception). I could look at adding the antenna though, thats not a bad idea.
I appreciate the info and the offer! I won’t be messing with the Ethernet since that’s used for networking. I was mainly looking to hook up an IP phone or something easy, but assumed I couldn’t just connect that to my network and needed something so the two phones would tie together.
That’s fair, and yeah in hindsight would have been great, though tough to retrofit. Maybe I’ll look into running another line for something like that. Thanks!
Well in my scenario, both locations would be fixed, so I’m not really concerned about finding locations.
Oh I’m sure I’m overcomplicating it. We had some landline phones growing up that could also ping and “intercom” but those were all connected to phone jacks with an active phone service, ao I figured I couldn’t really do that. How is some like the one you mentioned wired? How does it talk to the the other one? Forgive my ignorance.
And to note, I definitely do not need high quality, just something local that is functional.
I could I guess? What would that look like? Just mic and speakers wired over Ethernet and just always on but with a hardware switch or something? Or connected to something like a Raspberry pi running some software to talk with the other pi?
That looks pretty good. Looks like a lot of information to parse through, reading up now, thanks!
I’ve watched and read a lot of reviews. I don’t think any of them were horrible. There were legitimate criticisms like the keyboard flex and the lid flex, but most of what I’ve seen that’s almost ubiquitous is the price per performance worse than other makers. Its fair, but I also think it’s a fair tradeoff for modularity and reparability.
