With Unihertz doubling down on their titan line of phones with physical keyboards, and the Clicks Communicator release growing closer every day, it feels like there will soon be some mainstream availability for handheld CyberDeck-like devices.

My dream device in this category would be something like the LG Wing (RIP LG's mobile division) but with an excellent touch-sensitive physical keyboard rather than a secondary display.

With the square aspect ratio of the secondary display, I'd be thrilled if they threw in a small D-Pad or low-profile joystick a la PSP and some version of A-B-X-Y buttons to also pitch it as a capable gaming device. The landscape display would be fantastic for relatively modern titles, mobile games, and game streaming from a gaming PC, not to mention just general computing and mobile tasks.

Curious if anyone else has reached out to frame.work about the idea for a more ergonomic option on the keyboard & touchpad deck? I really hate switching to standard QWERTY on my surface device provided by work, and I'd be very interested in a better option.

They already offer some international options with more keys on the 13, so I don't see why a modified layout would pose any further challenge. Let alone on the 16 with the modular deck

Sometimes a flashlight just isn't enough. The Flying Sun 1000 drone system was designed with that fact in mind, as it uses 288 airborne LEDs to light up the night like the alien mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).

However, touch still isn't great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.

I'm considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.

Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it's support for pen and touch input?

What do y'all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?

Howdy!

I have a keeb.io cepstrum split board that I'd like to travel with when I head into the office. Anybody have good experiences with a carrying case they could recommend? My cepstrum is 8 inches / 20.5 cm by 4.5 inches / 11 cm for reference.

If I could flip a switch and change this one aspect of modern life, I'd be willing to re-learn all my old reading/writing habits. It just makes more sense to "build" ideas upward.

Can anybody with experience in fabrication reveal more about this? Very exciting ideas, but hoping to learn more in real-world context

My last post

I recently posted looking for help diagnosing my D4K which all of a sudden stopped outputting anything from the main emitters. After trying all the suggested troubleshooting steps, I decided I'd just have to talk to Hank himself and see if he'd send me a boost driver for free so I could attempt to replace it with some soldering advice from YouTube.

I was already saving up for a DW4 as my next light, but with the sale I had to jump on an M44 too. I emailed Hank after placing my order, and he quickly responded that the solder job would be difficult, and he'd include a brand new head for my D4K with my order!

With all the rave reviews about Hank's customer service I thought he'd do me a solid with the driver, but I did not expect basically an entire new light!

Now the hard part is deciding what to order next. . .

Hi all,

I've had my cyan D4K Hanklight for only a few months (ordered in April) and I can't seem to get my main emitters to turn back on? I had the light on while cable managing my PC and all of a sudden it turned off. I didn't touch the switch, it just cut off.I checked the cell first which runs fine in my K1 and was at 60% capacity. I've tried these 2 factory reset methods:

1. 13H (I held for 5 seconds), and
2. disconnect tail cap, hold switch, reconnect tail cap, release after 4 seconds.

Neither appear to do anything. The auxillary LEDs are still running in low mode, but I can't seem to change them with the usual 7C for mode and 7H for color.

Is there any possibility my dedomed 519A emitters are still alive and kicking? Or should I just order a "domed" normal version?

Thanks for reading!
