I tried installing Guix System maybe about a year ago, but had problems with LVM on LUKS with full-disk encryption and missing and outdated documentation. Has this situation changed?

Question from a welfare country and complete ignorance: what exactly are the steps necessary to change this and why is it so difficult for the USA to take them?

Before I got my Happy Hacking I had both control and escape on caps lock, but with HH, I have no problem using the default escape, which is closer there than on regular keyboards.

On what frequency do they transmit? What non-smart equipment does one need to detect one?

I tried Matrix a few months ago, but the clients were pretty horrible compared to irssi. The only functional one was the ugly GUI one with emojis and all that.

I was assuming they have something equivalent to the Intel Management Engine. Do they not?

> Isn't any hardware a "potential" hardware backdoor?

I don't know. Is this true of open hardware? I mean, there could be a backdoor, but it would also be practically possible for qualified people to find it, right?

Great! now take the (potential) hardware backdoors out of your computers and make them Linux-friendly.

But why don't they just keep the drivers etc. from the previous version? This doesn't seem to be a problem for Linux.

Naive question: why is it that the newest version of macos doesn't run on older machines? (The solution is, of course, to install Linux on them.)

I'm impressed by the (allegedly) tactile and clear keyboard

https://frame.work/blog/the-keyboard

but I'd be delighted to see a happy-hacking style layout, where the arrow keys are consigned to the fn layer (which should be configurable; the whole keyboard could be configurable by qmk). It would also be nice to see an option where the trackpad is replaced by a foldable joystick. Maybe this way one could get rid of the split (arrow) key and the short f keys and the short escape. Think of the vi users.

Is the accelerometer of the iphone 5s also sensitive enough to pick up sound?

VIm is to other editors what touch typing is to hunt-and-peck.
