1984 - beige is best

1984 - beige is best

Here's my weekend fun budget Apple-esque + old IBM retro build —

Keychron R6 keyboard:

  • PBTFans 1984 keycaps (and all their Apple Extended Keyboard II goodness)
  • Gateron Harmonic switches (gloriously clicky!)
  • Stock stabs, plate & foam (nothing modified inside the keyboard; all were surprisingly good)

The keyboard sounds deep and clicky with excellent tactility. I've really become a fan of the Harmonic switches (better than Melodics, IMHO). He's a big boy, that's for sure.

Umbra Earthshine 60

Umbra chapter VI: Earthshine by IV WORKS

  • Mode Designs Lotus keycaps (for now... still deciding if I'm going to change them out for something else)
  • Aluminum plate; no foams; tadpole gasket mount
  • HMX Hydra switches
  • TypePlus Stabs

Feels and sounds great. Tried to get a sound sample off my phone but didn't do it justice so it's not worth posting. Will try to get a better one at work where I've got a decent mic.

Web apps not working on Mac at all

I have the latest version of Chrome installed. I want to run a few sites/web apps as separate windows, like Gmail. I do the whole Menu / Cast, Save and Share / Install... then select that app from Chrome://apps, and... nothing. No window pops up. No tab pops up. Nothing. And no icons or anything pop up in my Applications folder (not sure if they're supposed to or not).

I've reset all flags to standard in case something in there had gotten changed, but still nothing. Websites and tabs work fine in the standard Chrome browser window otherwise.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Running macOS 26.5.1 on an M4 Max Studio. Chrome v 149.0.7827.156

Ring Gen 4 charger vs Ring Gen 5 charger

Anyone know if the Ring Gen 5 will fit on the same-size Ring Gen 4 charger (for example, both size 10)? Anyone who already has their Gen 5, have you tried it?

Just curious. Thanks.
