Huion? I've heard sanded down (so they fit in the port) USB C cables that support DP output works.

Welcome to the world of ergo niche keyboards. Basically everything that isn't a Microsoft Ergo or clone is $200+ and it only gets more expensive as you get further from that. An alternative to this is building one yourself.

Mine seems to accept it and just strip it. I'm not sure the exact HDCP version it accepts but I can capture a Blu-ray from my PS3 with it which you are not normally supposed to do (it won't even play Blu-rays over component).

There is the org-noter package for emacs that will do a similar thing with PDFs but for org mode instead of markdown.

Probably Karabiner Elements?

There's utilities like keyd and kmonad to remap keys system wide on Linux. I've used keyd because the config is simpler for what I want. Works in tty, X11, remote. Also does layers and other fancy tricks.

For a phone. Android has set the bar incredibly low. Kobo has supported their $130 Kobo Touch eReader from 2011 longer than any iOS device. On PCs its trivial to run modern software even on ancient hardware like a Pentium 4 with Linux/BSDs. Even Windows can let you easily get 15 years out of a device.

It wasn't good then either. Still a bloated mess and even worse you were more forced to use it as literally nothing else could do something like put a CBZ in a 3rd party app unless it happened to support Dropbox or something similar. It's just terrible.

The GC didn't ship with a modem at all even in early not cost reduced models. There may have been some bundles with a modem for PSO1&2 or Homeland but there was only 4 games in its entire library that could even go online.

The Dreamcast had a built in modem and some models of PS2 had one built in.

My physical book library is not very big. Maybe 30 books and a lot are just textbooks I should probably get rid of with few exceptions. I deliberately got rid of a lot of them. I rarely buy physical books anymore. I think I bought 1 in the past year.

My ebook library is much bigger. Several hundred to low thousands depending on whether stuff like individual comics count. I don't currently have it well organized and in one place. There's also the question of whether PDFs of books I downloaded from the library count as books I own? (Some never expire).

There's a mix of reference material and recreational but it's mostly recreational, at least stuff I purchased. I'm still not satisfied with the state of ePub textbooks so I'll only buy digitally as a last resort option.

I recently briefly tried Nix and yeah the language seems a bit tough with not too many resources floating around. I really don't want to learn a whole language just for my package manager. But then I discovered Guix which is inspired by Nix but uses Scheme instead of a custom thing. Seems more sensible and easier to understand as I know a little bit of lisp already.

Can't you just deactivate the Home license and then install Pro? Or just try installing Pro then deactivating the Home license? I only have Pro keys attached to my account but I've shuffled them about between different computers.

Not for the internet but Wii U uses 5GHz for streaming to the gamepad.
Comment · 4 years ago
A lot of low end consumer devices don't. For example the PS Vita supports N but not 5GHz, nor do most kindles until the latest Paperwhite. It was also super common for cheap $400 laptops in 2011 to have N but not 5Ghz support.

There is 5GHz N. Not as common in devices or routers though.
