Just to buck the trend, here are meh bigg keys. Beta tested by a certified pro:
 
 

What happened to having a second USB-C port for a headphone jack?

Don't remind me:
 

I might as well make an iScroll...
 
A phone that rolls up instead of folding.

Created an 8-button keypad with PCB plates powered by a Pro Micro, with single-colour backlighting support and underglow LEDs via LED strips. Keys are currently programmed using Arduino, as I haven't figured out TMK/QMK yet. Current keypad is rocking Kailh BOX Dark Yellows, essentially Blacks but less scratchy. Also features a famous anime character on the bottom plate, though I can try out other characters.
 
Enjoy

I started actually with 3D printing my cases. Here's one that used a 3D printed case:
I also started out with handwiring, but eventually decided to design PCBs for it using KiCAD. Ordering PCBs online has become quite easy, so it shouldn't discourage you. It is also relatively cheap (around $20) for 10 pcs of a small 4x4 keypad.
 
But at that rate you are delving into geekhack territory.

Oh damn, my keypad is called the 8-Pack...

This came to mind:
 

I recall hearing from an IBM conference recently that they have tiny explosives on the PSU cables, since even turning off a server PSU is too slow for an emergency shutdown. Usually found on their recent IBM mainframes.

This came to mind:

From my random talks with friends, I recall:
 
- Vacuum tubes were produced for radar detection and code-breaking, powering primitive computers. That led to computers that we use today. It is also what gave rise to Silicon Valley, contrary to popular belief.
- Silicon quality used to be terrible until there was a military incentive to improve them, mainly for missile guidance systems. Now CPUs can be mass produced better than ever.
- ARPANET was a failsafe network in case of nuclear war. We now enjoy it as the Internet.
- HUD on pilot helmets were a thing long before Hololens, which is a primitive form of augmented reality.
 
These massive technologies we enjoy were initially funded through government contracts with military incentive. This boosts a company's R&D capability, producing IP that it can later use for commercial purposes. Only then can those companies can sell those technologies to civilians like us, after declassification.
 
As to the employees' issue with Microsoft agreeing to a military contract, I think would be detrimental to us getting to enjoy VR/AR in the future.

I can only imagine the kind of flash cells being used on these chips in order to reach these densities.
 
Probably QLC flash. Wears out even faster than TLC and MLC flash used in earlier SSDs.
 
Which is bad, even for Samsung.

Cattle would take you to your location and beef, if you don't mind the ranching and walking speed.

All I can say about the headphone jack issue is that Apple could've substituted an extra Lightning port in place of it. That way, the number of usable ports does not decrease.
 
My issue is that Apple reduced the number of usable ports on their devices.

You see, people could probably build that cheaper and with more RGB. And with less bloat.
 
And with more RGB.
 
You do not wanna know how efficient I am with stuffing RGB strips into anything.

This is what happens when MS fires their entire desktop QA division back when Win10 was new. Not to justify their behaviour, but they would have no way of finding out what people want.
 
If anything, isn't MS more focused on Azure stuff now? I swear Windows is no longer their biggest priority.
 
I would like to say switch to Linux, but IBM just bought out Red Hat and Novell bought SUSE a while back. Apple, Google or Microsoft might buy out Canonical just to catch up on the Linux side of things. You could go and switch to a Stallman-certified Linux distro, but you would also lose out on functionality. Not to mention, those same big 3 Linux companies are the ones doing most of the Linux kernel patches. Linux as a whole will fragment according to a corporation's needs, and might even go the route of OpenSolaris.

Isn't BR essentially - in CoD terms - Free-For-All with a bigger map, changing borders, vehicles and weapon drops? Been a while since I touched anything FPS-related.
