The problem with trucks like the F-150 is all marketing. My impression after seeing a recent F-150 is that the goal is to feel big and luxurious. Even on the ICE version of the truck, the area under the hood is mostly empty. The reason an

Yeah for split spacebars on a programmable keyboard! I currently use and love a Kinesis Freestyle Pro, and would consider this for my next keyboard. My favorite feature of the Kinesis board is that it is programmable and has a split spaceba

I would love something like this to become standard, but I recall needing a specific calculator in HS. Our math classes were based on the TI-83, and people with an 84 or 86(?) would struggle because the interface isn't exactly the same

Is there a reason not to split the app into SFW and full versions? I am surprised I haven't seen this in other places, but it seems like the right solution here.
