I’ve had both - the 380 is much lighter to carry around than the 480.
I wouldn't recommend either though, for both, the keys are not nice to type on if you don’t press perfectly downward, if you have any angle other than vertical, the keys occasionally bind a little. This is amplified on the 480 with longer key travel. They’re different types of key mechanisms on both but suffer the same problem.
If you have any kind of case, the 480 stand slot can be harder to use.
I played with a negative ion generator at my desk, and it was great at knocking out my 1440p monitor signal, but the 1080p seemed more resilient.
Since then I got a 4K display, and it likes to drop out in thunderstorms. I switched to a better DP to HDMI adapter, and the chunky original Samsung cable. I'm waiting for the next storm to see if it helps.
It’s not properly shielded. If you have a multimeter you can do a quick low-hanging fruit pass by checking continuity between the metal shields on both ends. No continuity means no shielding, but the clever assholes will run a thin wire between the shields so it passes that test, even though it’s not actually shielded. That means it won’t tell you if it is shielded, only if it definitely isn’t.
I found a similar issue with nearly all of my cheap USB cables, which I started looking into when I realized only some of them would work right with my camera or Arduino. Out of ~30 cables perhaps 14-16 of them had no shielding at all. I cut open five “shielded” ones and two of them had a thin wire connecting the shields, just to fool people casually testing them. It’s a real crap industry.
Bubble envelopes are all wrong? Flipped bubbles would make it harder to slide objects in and out of the envelope, but they would reduce movement inside the envelope.
The difference seems minor other than the ability to tape the flat side, and we have cling bubble wraps that don't need tape anyway.
I got a IPX in 2022 and restored it. I was a bit lucky and mine was an ex-IBM unit that came with the Weitek SPARC POWER μP processor (80 MHz) upgrade.
It makes for a pretty good project box as one of the smaller SPARC machines. Lots of documentation from hobbyists, Sun's own service manuals, and OpenBSD/NetBSD. Flash SCSI disk replacements are much easier to get your hands on now (I used a ZuluSCSI).
It seems to have been part of IBM's IBM-IPT Tester system. Hostnames were interesting: flower, owl, piglet, diamond, hotlips. I didn't get any interesting data though since this system relied on network resources.
Altitude can be a huge limiting factor. I biked from Texas to Oregon, and the first days in the Rockies were brutal. It seemed I could barely travel 50 feet up hill without taking a break. I even considered turning around because it just felt impossible.
This is pretty much what Lutris does. I'm using it with already downloaded GOG installers, and Lutris' crowd-sourced install scripts. It looks like they do account integration, so it might be possible to directly download and install games.
It can run things with regular wine or proton installed by steam. There is a lot of complexity compared to Steam or the GOG client.
Did you take a look at her bank account? It seems like she's not even a millionaire yet. Some reports are putting her net worth at $49,000 or $125,000.
Where are the non-mammon mouthpieces in congress? Your focus feels way too narrow to take a reasonable conclusion from.
We are shifting the goalposts here. Campaign donations are not her bank account.
Who is going to "take it away" in this scenario? We're not talking about a 'tax the rich' scenario anymore. I don't think she needs to be worried about congressional finance reforms because they write their own laws.
Sometimes politicians will directly tell the truth to you. I'm not evaluating that though. I'm looking for evidence to the contrary, which would be real estimates above the amount she stated, but the only one out there is the absurd $29 million that can't be reached even if you add up her whole career's worth of political donations.
Other pluses: rearrangeable keys (dvorak), runs on AAA batteries.
The legends eventually fail, and the keys take a shine.
