@mewe circular

buying some of our own MNT Reform Cameras back from Crowd Supply because i need to try something

@josch @theawesomerandomness it's a 9 pin and 10 pin because i didn't have a 20 pin plug in the company :3

@cinebox i didn't fill 'em up at the time of the picture

also, we made the new low profile hdmi 2 edp adapter today for reform next (soldered by @theawesomerandomness like the other pcbs). i hand made an adapter cable to our old custom display cable so i could test it before ordering custom cabling.

there's a lot going on at the moment. for example, here's MNT Reform Next's port board two, where we use mid mount connectors. it turned out nicely :3

@gabrielberlin hatte viel spaß beim lesen! und wusste nicht (mehr), dass paradessenz aus 1 satire stammt, hielt das für ein normales konzept (lmao)

all remaining crowdfunded Hyper MNT Pocket Reforms are now packed and ready for customs inspection + shipping to Crowd Supply. we have 68 non-Hyper Pocket Reforms left to ship, which should take around 2 weeks. we'll then start catching up with the units that Crowd Supply sold/is selling since the campaign concluded.

@loop0 for sure!

@wolf480pl that's a cool idea!

MNT Reform with RGB keyboard!

@prahou omg i love this 🖤

@josch bizarre?!

@omasanori very interesting, will try this one

ah, caveat https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//contrib/f/fonts-ibm-plex/fonts-ibm-plex_6.1.1-1_copyright

because Iosevka's footprint has swollen to over 400MB installed size and the complex nodejs build process, i'm considering to move to IBM Plex Mono on the MNT Reform devices for the default terminal font, which is also already packaged in Debian (fonts-ibm-plex). any objections or preferred alternatives?

@graphite it is. here's the source https://source.mnt.re/reform/pocket-reform/-/tree/main/pocket-reform-keyboard-fw/pocket-hid/src?ref_type=heads

i'm surprised noone played bad apple on the MNT Pocket Reform's keyboard backlight yet

just to add some context here: this was just me being curious how well the EDK2 stack for RK3588 works on MNT Reform, and apparently it has a lot of potential, of course mainly for free/open source and DIY OSes. i have no intention of running windows on my devices. some people have to run proprietary window stuff for work or because they are trained in certain commercial software. i'm a hardcore FOSS user but i think that laughing at people because they have to do this is also a form of ableism.
