i see a cm quickfire tk mechanical keyboard :D

 

Just got it a few weeks ago, still trying to adjust to it. I may need to sell it for a little bit bigger keyboard. I really like how tactile it is, just a little to small for me as I keep hitting multiple keys at the same time while typing.

a quickfire pro or any full-size mechanical keyboard should fit you, I wouldn't recommend the tk because of the fact that you have to press the num lock when using either arrow keys or punching in numbers

Getting myself a desktop for Christmas, most of the hardware turned up today, just waiting for the CPU to turn up on Wednesday. I couldn't wait though, so put everything else together. (Lighting was terrible, sorry)

There's onboard VGA, DVI and HDMI output, and the processor/mobo can drive all three at once. As I mainly do coding work, I don't need gaming performance from my graphics. CPU turns up on Wednesday as I noted. There's an SSD connected to the mSATA port on the mobo.

If you have such minimal requirements, space-wise, why go for a full blown ATX mobo/case when a much smaller combo would have done the job?

Space for a serious amount of storage in the future, and also upgradability if I decide to get back into gaming again, this gives me the flexibility to just throw in a graphics card and not have to upgrade everything else at the same time.

    • Yay, a forced new tab telling everyone edge just updated with a load of advertising in it twice as often as we currently get it. That'll never be abused. 😏
    • About bloody time. I have got PRs with hundred of files and the Web UI just struggling to even load the pages.
    • I wonder if it was applying secure boot certificates/dbx files?
    • I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
