It's fine for families with the sharing nodes feature[0]. My family and I use it for a few services hosted on different machines in different locations (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and some others).

It's an easy way to get remote access to services when away from home, or when the family lives in different homes but wants to share services. I wrote a guide explaining how to set up remote access for Jellyfin using Tailscale[1], which may illustrate the use case.

TIL. ThatIf you're referring to the DCS sculpted keycaps which come with the EZ[2], they're still not quite the same. Keyboard.io Models 01 and 100 use different shapes for (nearly?) every key. At the edges of the keyboard, it's particularly noticeable: the outer edges are ramped inwards.

The downside of individually sculpted caps is, of course, compatibility with other keycap sets.

If you're interested in split keyboards, check out the Keyboard.io Model 100[1], which will be shipping in January. They're a reputable company, having already successfully sold the Model 01 and Atreus with great success. Jesse and Kaia are great folk and send regular updates on the production.

Why Model 100 over other split boards like the Moonlander or Ergodox? 1. Sculpted keycaps take the ortholinear split board to another level of comfort (and help recognize which keys your fingers are on). 2. It's $55 cheaper than Moonlander. 3. The palm key allows you to layers without having to move your hand. 4. Aesthetics?

I've been using a Model 01 for the past few years and other typing experiences can't compare. I'm waiting for a Model 100 now so I can switch to its better (MX-style) switches.

I don't think that's fair. It's a fun time waster, similar to 2048. I didn't enjoy 2048 very much, but others loved it and it boomed. This game has the potential to perform very well, too, in my opinion. I'm almost certain it'll go viral in the coming days.

I probably won't play solo that much and I'll probably only play the multiplayer a few times. I'm not too into mobile games or small games. Regardless, I think it's a winner.

This game is really great! I think we have the next 2048 upon us. In my few tries I can't get past 15, which makes me keep wanting to do it one more time.

The increasing difficulty to get to higher numbers with the randomness of high-number drops makes the game exciting and the timer makes it frantic.

I look forward to trying two-player mode. Stealing blocks from the opponent is a great mechanic!

The one suggestion I can make is to give high-number blocks (15+?) something to make them stand out, similar to how 2048 indicated higher numbers. The sound effects throughout the game are great!

It's a good question, but it seems unlikely to be feasible given that "a well-lit office or classroom is usually no more than 500 lux." I have a hard time believing that it's 20 times brighter outside than inside, but then again I have no issues seeing my phone's or laptop's screen indoors, while it's almost impossible outside (even in the shade) to see anything.
