I was browsing the datasets subreddit when I stumbled upon this post. It turns out that some people actually take the time to scrape data so that they can sell these as bundles on Etsy.

I don't know to what extent this is a common practice, but it was the first time I ever saw it.

By the way, I'm not suggesting anyone actually pay for this. It's not clear what the source is so there's a good chance that this might be a scam. But it's the first time that I saw an etsy boutique for downloadable datasets.

This image is an inside-joke over at the office that I didn't want to forget about. Too many fun puns.

Ah stuff like this just really makes my day. It's a YT video about how you can use a framework laptop as a starting point and add a custom keyboard unto it. It really helps that framework is designed to be so repairable, because that also makes it much more hackable. Or to re-use the words from the author:

mechanical keyboard? yes please. gasket mounted? oh my. three rotary encoders? on a LAPTOP? need I say any more?

the Campus is a custom laptop built off the Framework platform, featuring a completely redesigned chassis to house a kailh choc powered, gasket mounted, enthusiast grade custom mechanical keyboard.

I'm still very happy with my current gear, but when it's time for something new it's really looking like framework is not just going to be more repairable ... but also way more fun.
