I'm not a big keyboard nerd, but I had three of their keyboards, two of which were declared QMK. As far as I remember, QMK software was extremely annoying from my own perspective, and the Keychron team was also dissatisfied with them (

Web-based software is easy to extract (singlefile), preserve (webarchive), or even rebuild during its lifespan. Desktop software is way less reliable than you think – I have a few Akai keyboards I can't configure because they don'

In Eastern Europe, a lot of computer-savvy people write with em dashes. I see two reasons behind that: 1. There is a highly popular Cyrillic keyboard layout with an em dash made by design educator Ilya Birman – https://ilyabirman

Passkeys work well when you have password managers with multi-device sync. While it is indeed trivial to get one, consumers don't like password managers in first place. And it is very hard to make person use password manager, instead o

Idea that AI is very expensive and will not be viable without "subsidization" for personal use is very shortsighted: 1. We measure "subsidization" in relation to API pricing. API pricing is very overpriced, to compensate

Kazakhstan decided to do so, but Poland always had Latin alphabet. Ukraine always had Cyrillic alphabet. There is no way, they will reject their culture just to punish foe. Also Cyrillics is tied to orthodox Christianity which has very big

Here are the things I don't like in React. Keep in mind that React is a framework to draw interactive HTML on screen, not for some crazy programming. 1. Over-reliance on complex concepts and terminology. Let's compare with Vue: `u
