I’ve dumped FF for Zen and Waterfox.

Zen’s only downside is that it can’t play some DRM media like some sports websites. Waterfox can, so I use it for that.

I wonder if Waterfox allows this. It’s MOSTLY Firefox but without going down the AI trash route.

“Hello?”

“Hey Dave…wait what’s that noise?”

“Oh that’s my washer and dryer going.”

“Can you move to the other room? I can’t hear you very well.”

“No, the call is on my washer.”

“WHAT?”

I’ve always been a good touch typer, so the transition for me wasn’t too bad. I also use the Dvorak layout as my default since QWERTY is dogshit (though I can still use QWERTY if needed.)

On my desk actually I have a full sized (MX Keys) keyboard and my split keyboard, and I use them both all the time because I have a couple of computers I’m using at once so it’s easier.

The biggest hurdle is just setting up the “layers” on a smaller keyboard like this. I have a layer for arrow keys, and one for a 10-key and function keys, etc. The world is your oyster, really, and that much choice is a little overwhelming at first. We’ve all been told for our whole lives that keyboards have to be a certain way, so when you get free rein to do what you want it’s…a lot.

But now I don’t even think about it. It’s one of those things where if you asked me how to get to the arrow keys I’d have to think about it for a second, BUT it’s so engrained in my muscle memory I use them all the time all day for work without a hitch. If that makes sense.

I’d say I’m about the same speed for typing on this versus my other keyboards. But the Lily IS much more comfortable than any standard keyboard, that’s for sure.

Yep, 100%.

I have arrow keys, Home/End/etc., function keys, and a 10-key set up on different layers.

I use a Lily58 for work, and it’s excellent. Obviously mine looks much different than the ones on this product page, but it’s this layout.

I’ve never used TikTok other than seeing some posts a friend might share in a group chat. But I don’t think it’s for me.

I’ve tried Loops, and maybe the “swipe down for a new video of someone saying/doing something dumb” just isn’t my cup of tea. I dunno.

“But the algorithm knows what you like!” someone will say. I don’t want algorithms anymore, to be honest.

Apple Vision Pro will be available starting at $3,499 (U.S.) with 256GB of storage. Pre-orders for Apple Vision Pro will begin on Friday, January 19, at 5 a.m. PST, with availability beginning Friday, February 2.

So 256GB for all those movies and games you’ll want to play on that long plane ride they keep showing as a way you’ll definitely use these.

I’m in the Apple ecosystem pretty hard, but we’ll really just have to see what rich folks do with this thing.
