I was going to ask you, but then figured I could do my own research and just ask if you think it's reasonable. According to Our World in Data, the WHO says 4.2 million people die every year from outside pollution. Again according to Our World in Data, road transport accounts for 11.9% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Obviously, that's different to health-affecting pollution, and it might pollute more in places where people live compared to something like electricity generation which would likely be further from population, but it's the best I could come up with. So that would mean we could attribute ~0.5 million deaths per year to road transport. According to Movotiv, there are 1.2 billion vehicles, 70 million daily driving trips, with an average distance of 15 km. That means a total annual distance traveled of ~383.25 billion km. So there's 0.0035 deaths per year per vehicle, or 286 years per death per vehicle, and 1 death per 91,250km. That doesn't sound right, and I blame the Movotiv statistics, unless I made a mistake. 300km/year for the average vehicle sounds ridiculously low, so something's not right. I don't have time to find the issue or better stats right now, but I might have a look later. In the interim, do you think my logic stacks up, or do you have better statistics?

I'm on hybrid Intel/Nvidia, and it works fine. The discrete card isn't particularly powerful, so I don't use it much, but it works pretty much as I would expect. If you're wary, just try on a live USB. It won't harm your computer as long as you check it's working before installing, and if it works on there it should work once installed. Might be best to start with a distro that at least has a toggle for proprietary drivers in the installer though, so you don't have to do any faffing about yourself.
And just to explicitly point out, your code's also better because of the use of the standard traits. It took me a while to get into the habit, but using what's already there is always a good idea.
That seems like strong premature optimisation. Perhaps worth a note, but I'd presume the majority of people the majority of the time wouldn't need to worry about that.
I have two questions:
- How useful do you find the encoder? All the other keyboards I've seen with encoders seem badly placed, but is yours close enough to the resting thumb position that you can use it without moving from the home row?
- Where did you get the carrying case? I've got a corne, but really just leave it at home and use the laptop keyboard when I'm elsewhere because I don't like just leaving it loose in my bag.
I'm not OP, and one-haned keyboards definitely exist (I can't remember the name, but I think there's even an 8-key complete layout). However, since they said 34-key split, I'd assume the other half's in the bag, or otherwise offscreen.
