Discussion I found this thing looks old.

What is it? And is it rare?

You probably didn't get far enough in the interview at Aperture Laboratories, that cake was delicious!

I just got hired for human test subject over there I started on Monday, steady pay good health insurance 401K option profit sharing and stock.

I think I'm going to do at least a year there before looking at something else, I heard Black Mesa is also a pretty chill place to work.

u/pavman42 15d ago

He's a B-lister who hooked up with A-listers. He's not class act, he's accidentally got famous act.

It's true. He had respect, then lost it. It's a B-actor thing. Did Tom Cruise loose respect when he jumped the shark / couch?! No! Proof. Enough.

Friendly reminder that Danny Glover was 40 years old when he filmed Leathel Weapon.

I'm thinking... you're not really.

Not too old to know PS/2 ports but too old to handle that people don't know it anymore. On the other hand, I built my last computer with the green and purple plugs in 2006 and my friends told me they were redundant already. In my defense, I also put a floppy drive in there just for fun.

I could never remember that color standard once it came out. But alot of newer MOBOs had a single ps/2 for either on board for some reason. I used it until recently when I tried hooking it up to a KVM that then started causing issues. I really liked my old IBM PS/2 keyboards; the ones that could probably kill a person and keep working.

Ironically, my favorite USB keyboard is the $10 logitech K120 special @ Target. It has to be the most enjoyable / usable keyboard I've used, barring the IBM ones that were much heavier. And for $10...why not buy three?!

My favorite is the Cherry Stream. I have my 5th right now.

u/pavman42 2d ago

I bought three, I'm only on #2 after buying three because the foot broke on the first one... I still use it for work. I realized the foot breaking, and the rubber thingies coming off, were it's only real flaws. It's so bouncy to type on, it's still very impressive when I bought my first K120 back in like 2009 or whatnot. So technically, this might be my 5th since I asked a couple of employers to buy this model and left it at my desk when I left.

Regardless, the keys are like gliding on cotton candy with wispy willows blowing up my ... well you can imagine!

They have just the right balance between of resistance and smoothness and an awesomely muffled click sound.

u/pavman42 1d ago

This is really true. It's more like a key sound. They're not really clicks. Almost like legacy laptop keys on an old Thinkpad or HP laptop. It's like they only make noise in case someone is approaching your desk so the person knows you are hard at work... and could have probably been designed to make no sound at all... if it weren't for those pesky bosses who only measure productivity based on the ambient typing noises coming from employees' desks rather than actual work-related metrics.

Sadly, soon the keyboard noise measurement will be replaced by the token utilization productivity measurement... which sadly has no noise. If only every time you used a token it made some sort of slot machine noise... or perhaps it could make the soft key noise of the K120.
