    Which of the infinities? There are many, many :D

    The smallest infinity is the size of the natural numbers. That infinty, Aleph zero, is smaller than the infinity of the real numbers, Aleph one. "etc."

    See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_number


  • I like the U4Ts (there is a also a silent version called "U4Ts", just FYI.)

    I haven't tried a ton of switches either, but the U4Ts are the tactile switches I have tried that I like the most for their noticeable tactility. And I've been using 68g, which maybe even hides some tactility. So I've bought some 55g two-staged springs I want to swap to.

    If you don't know it, then there is an immense collection of switch reviews which also covers the U4Ts: https://github.com/ThereminGoat/switch-scores/blob/master/U4T%20(62g).pdf










  • Hyper + [whatever]

    If you are ready to use a bit of remapping (try keyd, it's awesome), then you can remap a key you rarely use to Hyper to get that as a direct modifier.

    You can also assign some key to activate a layer when held, but still return it's regular output when tapped. So e.g. holding A gives you a new layer, press-and-release just prints A.

    In the new layer, you can then set, say, f1 = f13... f12 = f24 and, say, esc = katakana etc., thereby getting access to a lot of keys not present on standard western keyboards, therefore not used as standard shortcuts. These you can then use directly, or in combination with standard modifiers like Ctrl, Shift...




  • I bought both my parents new old machines now that they retired, and I opted for a T480 for both. They've been called The Last Great ThinkPad over on r/thinkpad since they are both powerful - first generation with a quad-core processor - and nicely upgradable. The upgradeability also means that you don't have to worry overly about the amount of RAM a used model has: you can always add more cheaply (and very easily).
