My ergo journey started with similar requirements to yours - specifically including the Y and B keys. Along the way, I learned how important layers are for comfort, ditched QWERTY entirely for Colemak DH, bought a 3D printer, and ended up at 40%. Several years ago, there was a term "1KFH" ("one key from home") people used to describe the amazing amount of comfort they found when they never had to move their fingers more than one key away from home position, nor to move their hands.

I'm not saying you have to change your requirements, now or ever, but I think people who start to make their own ergo keyboards may be subject to this sort of requirements drift, such that if they ever make it to the product phase, their products aren't what they initially expected to be building. And maybe this sort of dynamic is what makes it less likely for the product you are looking for to have been built already.

Marvellous!

A name I've seen in connection with this issue is Obtainium. From a cursory look, it appears this just streamlines checking for and getting apk's from GitHub release pages and other project-specific sources, rather than adding any trust. So maybe it just greases the slippery slope :)

Security guidelines for mobile phones, and therefore policies enforced by large organizations (think Bring-Your-Own-Device), are likely to say that one may only install apps from the platform-provided official source, such as the Play Store for Android or the Apple App Store for iOS. You might say it's an institutionalized form of "put[ting] too much trust in claims of authority." Or you might say that it's a formal cession of the job of establishing software trustworthiness to the platform vendors, at the mere expense of agency for users on those platforms.

People are not taught how to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of software

Rant: Mobile computing as we know it is founded on the rounding off of the rough corner of user agency, in order to reduce the amount users need to know in order to be successful, and to provide the assurances other players need, such as device vendors, employers, banks, advertisers, governments, and copyright holders. See The Coming War on General Computation, Cory Doctorow, 2011. Within such a framework, the user is not a trustworthy party, so the user's opinion of authenticity and legitimacy, however well informed, doesn't matter.

Use the Part Design workbench (you probably are already, but no one's said it yet). Sketch a rectangle for the top of the whole tray, not the surface. Pad it down 40mm. Add a draft to set the angle of the sides. Use the thickness tool to dig out the middle of the top face - to a thickness of your exact choosing, which will be consistent everywhere. Now you have a trapezoidal bin.

Then how do you make the separators. Um, draw a sketch with the tee on the inside bottom and pad it... and then the separators don't reach the angled side walls. Oo, how about this: on the inside bottom, draw a sketch of the small square of material at the junction of the tee, and pad this tiny pillar up to the top of the tray. Then start a sketch on a side wall, External Geometry the near sides of the pillar in, and they'll be projected onto the angled side wall. Then loft the two rectangles together. Yeah? Yeah? No. That didn't work. The projection was normal to the angled wall, not to the side of the pillar.

HAHAHA ok. Select a side of the pillar. Pad it, select Up to Face, and pick the angled inside . Presto!

Then stick the lip on top and the grippy bit and that.

I hope this was helpful and entertaining.

mango jelly solutions videos. Nothing specific about Solidworks there, just good tutorials.

I've been using a tshort dactyl manuform 4x6 for 5 years now, having never planned to use it for even 1 year. I only commonly use the two innermost thumb keys; I didn't think I would like the thumb cluster from watching a video of someone typing on it, and I indeed don't like the thumb cluster. The switches are Kailh Brown; one of them started to stutter and I replaced it with ... a TTC Brown or some such.

I've printed, but not finished, a Splaytyl. I think it's going to feel nice, but it's only 4x5, and I'm nervous about not having Tab and Enter on the base layer.

That's beautiful!

There are many ways to be more selective about from whom to accept email. SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and various blacklists are among them. They are supposed to make life harder for spammers. But they have also made running a mail server something that few dare to try anymore. Setup is not easy, but getting blacklisted is, and it causes silent delivery failure, and takes days of work to fix.

As a result, most of the email is run by Microsoft and Google. But that didn't stop phishers. They just go after people at smaller companies where security isn't as tight yet, and then they've got valid Microsoft accounts to send from. Liars and Outliers by Schneier is about this sort of dynamic.

As for PKI: If I may assume you to be, or have been, affiliated with an armed service -- Whose property is your CAC? And why did you use a pseudonym to make this post? (I mean to be pithy, not sarcastic.) I think Liars and Outliers by Schneier is all about this sort of thing - but I didn't get much of it read before it was due back at the library.

Uh, I think the Glove80 uses Choc switches, right? For heavy tactile in Choc you would want Burnt Orange. Not sure whether that's an option they provide or what.

Bastard Keyboards -- I've talked with Quentin and he seems like a cool guy. He's an innovator in the use of printed-circuit boards for keywell keyboards. That's important because it makes keywell keyboards much easier and quicker to make, without the huge cost associated with polyimide flexible PCBs. He has high quality standards, too, in my limited experience of his products.

I agree that you should get a keywell keyboard. I haven't read any specific reviews (I'm down the make-your-own rabbit hole instead), but I've seen some sentiment that the Glove80 is better than Kinesis' offerings, and I believe it's more programmable.

And about that last, if you "have to learn how to type again from scratch," you should use a key layout that will work best for you. This may not be a layout that already exists! Colemak and all its variants, for example, put A and R under your left ring and pinky finger. You might want K and J there instead. Or if it's easy to press the key your left ring and pinky are on, but hard to move them to a different key, you might be OK with A and R. Though Dvorak, for example, has left-handed and right-handed variants, I don't think there are any predefined layouts for people who want to type more letters with their right hand than their left -- or to be more likely to need to move fingers on their right hand more often than their left.

Carpalx is a body of work that lets you define the typing effort for each key, and finds an optimum key layout for you. I haven't used it myself - Colemak DH is a sufficiently high local maximum of goodness for me and I haven't gone down that hill to find a higher maximum yet. But the moment you're in may afford you a unique opportunity.

If you do end up making one, or having one made, you might be interested in something like the Concertina.

i got paul through the flames! but he dies if you feed him too much
