The GRClok datasheet[0] gives its operating range as -10 to 55 °C (14-131 °F). The integrated Calnex unit only says it should be kept at +/- 1 °C for rated stability, but otherwise it just mentions 25 °C.[1]

Considering the new airflow rating is 9.4 m^3/h (vs 16.8[2]), yes it sounds like plenty of headroom.

Landslide dams are closely related, and they can cause damage both upstream and downstream.

Oof, this one hurts.

Everyone knows him as Chekov, but I loved him as Agent Bester on Babylon 5, where he played a ruthless and complex villain character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s72fJb7a-s8

Thanks for the laugh today

I know, carry around a keyboard-sized keyboard? How preposterous. :)

Everyone knows keyboards are carried in a hefty sack, like an old baron with their gold coins...

Don't worry, I was assured all the problems are because gambling is illegal, not gambling itself.

Extremely cool!

Another commenter mentioned[0] that often ergonomic keyboards aren't columnar, but staggered. What if for the pin layout, instead of this:

    1  1  0  0

    1  0  1  0

Then the keys could connect with at least two wires in either columnar or 50% stagger, using the same pins. Each key has a maximum of six neighbors instead of four, but that shouldn't be too much trouble.

Naturally if you expand to 6 pins it could support 0/33/66% stagger positions.

More cool, I think, is that it doesn't have to be aligned? You could imagine shifting the pins and mechanism over from top to bottom, so it's a 20%/70% stagger. Maybe that would make it structurally stronger, like how bricks are overlapped?

Very inspiring project, thanks for sharing.

Brain rewards new thing over familiar stimulus. More at 11

Same reason it was popular, then overused, the first time. It'll happen to you!

  >abliterated models where the superficial instructions like not describing Taiwan as independent are burned off

Does this help with issues like including security vulnerabilities when you say you're in Tibet? I understood that this was burned in at the training level, not just a layer of censorship added at the last minute.
