Comment on Which hardware do you use and why?

If I had the funds, I’d go for a ThinkPad. Generally they just work, as I’ve heard, but also it’s probably the last line of modern laptops that has good keyboard. I just wish modern laptops still had DVD, or better yet, BluRay drives.

What do you still have on DVD or bluray? BluRay just whizzed past me after I dumped DVDs about a decade ago.

What’s a “good keyboard” in your opinion?

  I can’t describe how a good keyboard feels. You just have to try it.
  
  DVDs, that’s the only way I am willing to buy movies. Otherwise, I’ll just pirate them. There may be cool extras, but also it’s just different being able to physically handle something. If I had a BluRay drive, I would be buying movies on that too. But also it seems like a nice way to do backups. BDXL gives you 100GB, which is fair enough, and I am pretty sure it can outlive flash storage if stored properly.

    Understood. For me, a good keyboard is one that’s quiet, doesn’t stick, allows knowing where my fingers are, and split --> not a laptop keyboard. Most laptop keyboards are relatively quiet, but quiet desktop keyboards are hard to find. Took me 10 years.

    Interesting. I didn’t know DVD and BluRay drives still existed, much less the their media was being sold at all. You must have a lot of physical storage space.
