| minute | i just did a quick wpm test on pocket, but not in an ideal situation (pocket on lap/leg, not on table), got 70 wpm in one minute test | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| vkoskiv | That's good. I can do roughly max ~100wpm on the big reform keyboard. | 00:39 |
| minute | (this is with clicky switches) | 00:40 |
| vkoskiv | But if I'm not fully concentrating, I do rougly 70wpm naturally on any given keyboard. | 00:40 |
| minute | cool, interesting | 00:41 |
| minute | i think i lost some speed due to the locations of the . and , | 00:41 |
| minute | if these were next to the space keys, with some training it would probably improve wpm | 00:42 |

| minute | lol mega absurd | 00:46 |
| minute | also, virtex with powerpc | 00:46 |
| vkoskiv | Right? :D | 00:46 |
| minute | amazing | 00:46 |
| sevan | XD | 00:46 |
| vkoskiv | Huge caps in an SSD. Clearly genius engineers were involved. | 00:46 |
| minute | very creative | 00:47 |
| vkoskiv | Unusual hardware is always entertaining. | 00:47 |
| minute | most certainly | 00:47 |
| minute | currently i'm trying to finish rkx7 docs | 00:48 |
| minute | because some people ordered it and we want to ship those orders | 00:48 |
| sevan | really cool. It'll be great if they publish stuff they're going to work on with the boards. | 00:49 |
| minute | oh yeah, i hope so | 00:49 |
| vkoskiv | I collect ancient hardware, so I'm used to having schematics provided. But the reform laptop has been so inspiring. Modern hardware just never has schematics! | 00:56 |
| minute | it is rare | 00:58 |
| vkoskiv | The Reform schematics have really made a meaningful impact in my electronics exploration. | 01:03 |
| vkoskiv | I have a very strong motivation to explore this particular hardware, and I have learned a lot! | 01:03 |

| josch | minute: are the strings printed on MNT hardware like MREFPTBC20R02 unique in some way? Would it make sense to advertise the firmware somehow with that name? I'm thinking about the packaging because on the forums somebody asked what hardware they have and that is also important for what firmware to flash. | 08:09 |
| josch | For example the label in bigger font MNT REFORM TRACKBALL CTRL is not enough to decide what version one has. | 08:10 |
| josch | so it might not be immediately obvious whether a user wants to flash trackball-fw or trackball2-fw | 08:11 |
| josch | same goes for keyboard and mainboard of course | 08:11 |
| josch | so maybe there should be a table somewhere mapping unique strings like MREFPTBC20R02 (if that's enough to identify them) to the current name of the firmware? | 08:12 |
| + andreas-e (~Andreas@2001:861:c4:f2f0::c64) | 09:27 | |
| Boostisbetter | So I was saying that my connection on the Reform keeps dropping out and reconnecting, but what I am finding instead is that my wifi strength is just terrible. I checked the antennas on my wifi card and the antenna itself, and ther are firmly connected and should be fine. Is there something else I can check to improve this situation? | 09:28 |
| Boostisbetter | Where I am right now, I'm a meter from the source of the wifi, and my signal strength is reported as 68% | 09:30 |
| Boostisbetter | but if I move to the couch which is a mere 2 meters away, the signal strength drops to 32% | 09:31 |
| Boostisbetter | I have my Reform pretty setup. I have put a bunch of time into it, but I'm really thinking it is just time to blow it all away and use a new current image and rebuild. | 10:04 |
| + amospalla (~amospalla@212.231.228.113) | 11:00 | |
| amospalla | thank you for the keyboard speed feedback guys. | 11:01 |
| amospalla | I've used tmk and qmk firmware based keyboards and they are a game changer. Is the Pocket using something like this? | 11:04 |
| amospalla | Just being curious, lately I've been adding software based remapping to my computers (https://github.com/jtroo/kanata). | 11:06 |
| amospalla | With remapping, layers, macros and so on, a little keyboard can do wonders. | 11:09 |
| minute | josch: yes, those are the unique SKUs | 11:56 |
