    Planned obsolescence hidden behind a “feature”.

    In ten years, when they want to pull the plug on this game, they will cite dwindling users and “exorbitant” per-user maintenance costs.

    They don’t want playable legacies. They want something they can leverage for nostalgia marketing in 20 years, and if you break out the original game, they won’t make any money. Production companies want you to buy what they are offering today, because it pays for new yachts.


  • I enjoy it, though there is a little effort friction with deploying the tilt legs, but beyond that it’s a delight, and highly configurable, and well-supported both in the community and from the company. For example, the USB port on mine had some demonstrable connection issues after I received it; I contacted the company and they replaced it immediately under warranty.

    While Oryx is a convenient online configuration tool, the firmware is open-source, called QMK (https://qmk.fm/guide), and it seems the project also has a GUI configurator.

    When folded and stored in its case, the Moonlander is quite compact, though it’s not tiny. It will fit in a regular-sized backpack if it’s not already packed to the brim.







  • I’ve been there a few times over the past decade. It’s a major metro city with substantial tourism. The people there are just like people anywhere else in the world in that if you treat them with respect, they will reflect that; and if you treat them like smug shit, they will _also_treat you like smug shit.

    The semi-popular reputation Paris has is unearned and based in prejudice.
