Raspberry Pi’s silicon now costs $1 a chip
This is a bit esoteric but it’s really important. Imagine you’re building a DIY sprinkler system or a fun kids toy and you need a lot of really smart chips. You could use something like the Arduino or a super small Raspberry Pi but what if you could just slap in a super-powerful chip for a mere $1 and go on with your life?

Keep it compact with the Logitech K380
When it comes to keyboards, mechanical keyboards tend to get all of the attention and love. And sure, I can’t fault anyone for that. I mean, the tactile feel of a mechanical is certainly sublime. However, if you want something that’s quieter, has a similar feel to your laptop keyboard, or just want something more affordable, that’s right where the Logitech K380 can fit in.

A viral video of a lawyer on a zoom call appeared, showing a judge, opposing counsel, and a lawyer as a cat. “I’m here live, Judge. I’m not a cat,” the lawyer said.
He was absolutely frustrated by the cat filter, and the judge’s attempts to help him remove the filter. “I’m prepared to go forward with it,” the lawyer said, in a way that recalls Larry David / Arrested Development script-writing.

The Keychron K3 – slim, mechanical, and RGB

Extended capability courtesy of Kolude KD-K1
You may have noticed that we have had a lot of keyboard coverage lately. I can’t speak for all of the other authors, but for me, it’s because I’ve been paying a lot more attention to the keyboards out on the market. Prior to, say, 6 months ago, I really just used what was issued to me. Now, I’m becoming a bit more discerning. One of the more recent interesting boards I’ve run across is the Kolude KD-K1.

Now Funding: the Ajazz K620T Mechanical Keyboard
We here at Knapsack are big fans of mechanical keyboards, solely for the tactile feedback you get from the keys as you type. These sorts of keyboards have come a long way since their early roots, and can do all sorts of fun things. One the more recent compact boards we’ve seen pop up is the Ajazz K620T.
