I couldn’t resist this goofy keyboard, although its heft and quality suggest an industrial use, it has annoying quirks such as the escape key being in a weird place and the space bar being small so I hit the Alt keys instead. But man the keys are good! It’s an ione (iONE?) Scorpius 35, for 4.95$.

Next I scored a UHD of A Bug’s Life for 5$ at the Salvation Army, not the usual spot for 4K stuff.

Then a Breville Inissia Nespresso machine. Took a gamble in store since there’s no water there to test. The machine had all its accessories, didn’t stink, was clean, and powered up nicely. I started the pump and the heater warmed up so I gambled 23.85$.

It does make a shot but there’s a leak somewhere inside. Maybe time to crack it open on the weekend.

    I don’t really like that the keyboard omits the dpad keys, but keeps the numpad? The numpad is almost useless to me, personally, I specifically got a keyboard without it so I don’t have to reach as far for my mouse.

      You mean the upside-down T of cursor arrows? It’s there. There’s also a trackball!

        Ah, nice. That’s good then. I stand by my unhappiness with the numpad tho. :)

          For me numpad is super useful. And for the initial intended use even! I’m not a great typist, but I know the exact position of all the keys for the numpad. My “WPM” quadruples if I’m typing strings of numbers 💪😎
