Pernah mikir gak kenapa susunan keyboard itu QWERTY bukan ABCD? Ternyata alasannya bukan biar kita lambat, tapi karena mesin tik zaman dulu gampang macet. Simak sejarah lengkapnya di sini!

🤓 This is a #nerd post! Just dug up an old #photo of me #flying during my #Diamond #Katana days. 🛩️ And the device I used for #flight #navigation was a #Motorola #PhotonQ 4G LTE. One of those famous #sliders with full #QWERTY #keyboard! ⌨️ Had to solder a #SIM slot into that (was "Sprint" hardwired). And I ran @jolla #SailfishOS on it! 😎 Aaand I used some app like #PoorMaps and piped self-converted #MapTiles into it that I downloaded from #OpenFlightMaps. 🤯 Totally safe though! 😂 #avgeek #aviation
QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year
image via gizmodo.com#blackberry #keyboard #qwerty #retro #smartphoneAfter dying a painful death at the hand of the iPhone’s revolutionary capacitive touchscreen, the QWERTY smartphone is rising up from the graveyard this year. Either way, two QWERTY phone announcements in this still very new year suggest there may be some kind of trend. Maybe after 19 years of the iPhone and touchscreens defining the mobile experience, it’s time to go back to the physical keyboard and its more tactile typing.

every now & then i wonder if i should check out dvorak.
then i get real, remember i can't be arsed to do stuff anymore, & slump back into my slough of apathy.
About 6 months ago, I started #typing #qwerty with the fingers in the proper positions rather than the left hand shifted one over (#WASD) or crossing rows.
I felt stuck at ~70-80% for quite some time but I noticed that I'm very quick at typing in natural languages again just now; as quick as I remember being before or perhaps even better.
Though I did also change my layout to #neoqwerty (qwerty but with neo layers) at the same time and started using layer-activated #HomeRowMods after #MRMCD25.

Update on using the Workman keyboard layout. Managed to get more used to using it. Still floating around 10-20 wpm. Still struggling to remember the keys due to how used I am in using the QWERTY layout.

I learned about an upcoming smartphone called the Lotus Diplomat from an article on NotebookCheck (HT to Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony).The Lotus Diplomat looks much like my old BlackBerry Classic, right down to the QWERTY keyboard. According to NoteBook Check, it will have a 5.3 inch display with a resolution of 2560×1920 (which is better than my 24-inch monitors…) with OLED and IPS panel options. “The SoC is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is a high-end chipset that will be paired with 24GB of RAM and 1.5TB of mass storage.” As ana dded bonus, the phone will include an “IR blaster” so it can be used for a TV remote (note that I did not know my BlackBerry phones had that functionality, the more you know…).
I have repeatedly called for the return of QWERTY phones. While I have stated my preference for a QWERTY phone with an e-ink panel running something closer to mainline Linux than Android (or at least something that can be officially supported by LineageOS or better yet GrapheneOS), Lotus Diplomat does look interesting to me on the surface. However, before evaluating whether it may be supported by LineageOS, I agree with Pixy Misa’s assessment of one obvious, still-unstated problem with this device:
Price is not mentioned, and you might be best off not asking.

I know not how much the Lotus Diplomat will cost, only that the cost will not be good (I will guess just a touch more than the $109.95 I spent on my refurbished BlackBerry Classic on February 28, 2018).
Yeah, I've done stuff like that before, although I generally find it's easier to use the physically more easily accessible keys more than have fewer-but-harder keystrokes, like
doas apt install ansiweather^[bbbcwpkg
instead of
doas apt install ansiweather^[0wcwpkg
Not a perfect example, though. I also try to avoid hitting the number keys, as that takes more concentration than just mashing bbbbb or Fa;;;;;;
I'll also use A^[ as a "shorthand" for $ at times, just because it's easier to type those two strokes than that one, based on proximity to the home row.
(#QWERTY peasant, of course, lol)
Always nice to have a little family gathering at the weekend... :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
Zinwa Q27 prototype brings classic BlackBerry style to a modern Android phone
The Zinwa Q27 is an upcoming smartphone that’s designed to look like a classic BlackBerry device, complete with a QWERTY keyboard. Made by a small team that got its start by replacing the insides of actual BlackBerry phones, the Q27 is Zinwa’s first phone featuring entirely brand new components: It has an AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, and Android 16 software.

BlackBerry Bold 9000
Telefonas dienos šviesą išvydo 2008 m. ir iš karto tapo esminiu žingsniu verslo klasės mobiliuosiuose įrenginiuose. Šis modelis apjungė klasikinę QWERTY klaviatūrą su naujoviška technologija – tapo pirmuoju BlackBerry, palaikančiu greitąjį HSDPA (3G) ryšį.
Nors 128 MB RAM ir 624 MHz procesorius šiandien atrodo juokingai, BlackBerry OS optimizacija užtikrino aukščiausią to meto produktyvumą. Fizinė QWERTY klaviatūra, optinis Trackball, mygtukų haptic atsakas, BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) saugumas - visa tai darė telefoną statuso simboliu.
ėl savo nepakeičiamumo verslo komunikacijoje ir nuolatinio el. pašto prieinamumo, BlackBerry buvo pramintas „CrackBerry“, pabrėžiant priklausomybę, kurią jis sukėlė vartotojams.
