    1. That thing has a PS/2 port. The port was designed in 1987 and became obsolet when USB (1997) was introduced. It has a lot of multimedia keys. They became common in later half of the 90s. Your keyboard was likely produced sometime between 1995 and 2000.

    2. It’s probably a rubberdome. You can easy check that by levering a key cap out. They are only clammed in and can be pushed back in again.


  • If Valve really allows nix then future mods & stuff can be provided through that. As long as a person manages to create a nix config for whatever everyone can let nix replicate that on any device anywhere and anytime.

    That guy managed to install and run Blizzard games? Share the config.

    That other guy is able to tweak an intricate feature? Just share the config.

    How much knowledge do gamers need to apply that config? Close to nothing.

    It’s a really neat thing.


  • This sounds a lot like Nix. There you usually have a master config file (nix.conf) that the package manager (nix) reads and if necessary acts upon. That config file can contain a description of any package and any config for that package even something ‘trivial’ like desktop background pictures.

    Nix is so powerful that as long as you have that config file you can reproduce anything that’s described in there exactly on any maschine.




  • You can just buy an aftermarket anti-glare screen. They are cheap.

    You can change the SSD by yourself but you’ll lose waranty. There’s a noticeable speed difference between the eMMC and NVMe versions. There’s no noticeable speed difference between the NVMe versions.

    IMHO if can afford it and have a few technical skills buy the little one and install one of these. You might even want to wrap it in one these (there’s a real leather option too) or these or replace the joysticks with these (can’t get drift and have a much smaller deadzone).

    Xiaomi Mi 10T with LineageOS 19 (there’s no v20 for it) I bought it because I needed a new one that supports 5G and didn’t cost a fortune.

    Next one might be a Fairphone 5 whenever it comes out. Or a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

    I’m also interested in a mobile that runs Linux instead of Android (see PinePhone). But there’re none that have good/current hardware.
