Truly DIY- I could ship you a chunk of copper and some plastic pellets, if you need it in a ‘kit’ form I could include IKEA-style instructions if you want?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There’s a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.

• What out of the box functionality are you missing? As for search, from context I’m going to assume you are not being sarcastic. Windows search has to be the single worst search I’ve ever fucking encountered. Say I made a picture of a bird. I called it bird.jpg, and saved it in my pictures folder. Now, I type ‘bird’ into explorer search, and it gives me a fucking DLL FILE called matrixRRT.dll. I waited literal minutes for this? Literally the advice on all over the internet for making windows search better is to use something else instead.

*Agreed, window snapping is better in Windows.

*It’s been a hot minute since I used anything other than Expose to choose which window I want (Which is great, btw) but don’t you just click and hold on the dock icon?

*Agreed, more troubleshooting on startup would be handy. But to be fair, I’ve had way more startup issues with my windows box than my Mac. In fact, the last Mac startup issue I think I had would have been about six years ago. Whereas I’ve probably had six in the last year alone on the Windows machine. Sample size of one, of course. shrug

*Have you met my good friend, the command line?

Are you saying you couldn’t get the home folder to open? Or you couldn’t locate the folder?

Isn’t it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the ‘go’ menu and select ‘home’?

It’s just a matter of what you’re used to.

It may or may not be a string.

If I wanted to access my Jellyfin at home from a smart TV elsewhere, is that possible (securely)? Or would I need something that can run a vpn?

I want to use Signal. Not everyone else on my contacts list does.

It was much easier to convince people to switch to Signal when you could just say it takes the place of your SMS app. Now it’s just another app to keep track of.
