Sadly, you'd have to build a custom board to get a hotswappable keyboard with a BAE.

The colors refer to the types of Cherry MX switches and the common clones have mostly stuck to the format. Reds are really light and linear (no bump when you press down), Brown is light with a small tactile bump, blue is light and clicky. No beige, but clear is heavy with a big tactile bump, and green is heavy and clicky. You can get keyboards with non-Cherry branded switches really cheap these days. I've seen some on amazon for $20 (not that these would be great quality)

What? I quite literally have a bunch of BAE sporting mechanical keyboards. I am not a fan, and I feel that they fell out of favor for a reason, but to each their own. If you're trying to find one, they are usually found with less common vintage switches like Alps switches, SMK switches, Hi-Tek (space invaders switches), and some models of the IBM Model F.

We always called them a BAE (Big Ass Enter)

While I mostly agree with the Model F statement (I own four for a reason), I think that a clean set of SKCM Blue Alps are probably the next best clicky switch. I'd pick it over a Model M any day.

That's sadly common with SKCM Alps switches. You can clean them out, but it suuuucks to do a full keyboard of them.

Many/most of them can just use a DIN to PS/2 and then if needed a PS/2 to USB adapter. Unless you have one of the more exotic old connectors (SDL, ADB, etc), that is usually all it takes.

This isn't surprising since 4Chan always loved using DDos-style shenanigans against sites. This is just the D&D version. I'm surprised they didn't call it the "Low Orbit Peasant Cannon".

This isn't necessarily accurate and probably depends on the model of open backed headphones. You can definitely hear music from many open back headphones when they are playing music if you are close, even at normal listening levels. My wife used to constantly complains about it when my office was in our bedroom and I had to switch to my closed back over ears that isolated well.

Hah, exactly when I did it

The texture of canned "black olives" isn't really all that different from most types, but they have a much weaker flavor because they are processed in a matter of days instead of weeks/months/years of the alternative methods. Those longer methods, usually some combinations of brine and/or fermenting are where most of that flavor comes from. I only know this because I had a grand idea to try to grow my own olives and I looked into it and realized I wasn't ever going to end up with my own that resembled stuff from the store. This is just more random info hiding in my brain instead of things that would be useful on a daily basis.

What a sick joke.
