    Unless you got the HD version it has a pathetic screen. Locked bootloader is never beautiful.

    That it would take a long time to do without. IT employees should at least be scripting on a regular basis. Yes, even helpdesk.

    Yes, I use the numpad all the damn time. Far easier to use when you need to enter lots of numbers like a time and date; 2013-03-07-17-20-22.

    My bluetooth headphones have their own volume control so having on the keyboard would be redundant.

    $50 for a domecap POS is too much. The trackpoint on board is neat though.

    Because it seems wrong. BCE sounds like tacking an E on keep some idiot happy.

    Unix time fits that while being a given time. Using some date that is a mistake without admitting it seems wrong.

    You should have just bought replacement keycaps and learned to type.

    Return it.

    Do it now before you can't. It is broken and you should get a refund.

    So map Ctrl to caps lock like a big boy and use the unused Crtl for your other key.

    What media keys are you talking about? There are no media keys on a damn Model M.

    I have some enameled pans that are pretty no stick as well. Better suited to some tasks since cast stays hot once its hot and hates to change temp. I guess I could try carbon steel as well.

    Hipsters are 20 year old kids, they likely don't even know how to type or what a command line is.

    Still sounds wrong.

    Besides that seems like an even crappier way to start a calendar. Because some old idiot screwed up.

    We should just switch to 64bit unix time.

    Dumpster diving is common even if illegal.

    Honestly spending $50 to $100 is totally worth it. These days most Model Ms are not out in the wild to be found. I got most of mine when I was in University and they were giving them away.

    I do use it in an office with other people.
    So far no one has hit me.

    Everyone has quirks this is mine. I move capslock to where it belongs. Makes Crtl easier to get too.

    Maybe you should learn to type and then you would not need backlighting. There are usb to bluetooth solutions they are not cheap.

    1000 fake modpoints to you sir. You win an internet.

    Or just buy a used model M. All the ones ever made likely still work. Some of them might be in the dump but even those likely still work.

    There are lots of tools to parse syslogs.
    Splunk is really popular. If you know what you are looking for just using grep can work.

    Either way you are not going to get a lot done if you spend your whole day just reading syslog.
