  • A lot of digital signage runs on windows or a cut down version thereof. If you are already running a Windows office, and larger orgs often do, it means you can leave it in the care of that same tech team. If all you are doing is showing a slideshow you can run it on a cheap mini pc, even multiple screens off of one, but the screen is likely the expensive part.

    No idea about that program. It’s the most generic-ass icon you could have these days. Google thinks it’s a weather app but that AI crap doesn’t know anything. It might even be a web page running in application mode.





  • I use a Dilemma Max (another model by BK) for work and I ended up taking the trackpad off as it just didn’t suit me, and added extra bulk. I went with that over a Charybdis because, aside from the extra bulk, I think it sacrifices too much as a keyboard to make space for the trackball.

    As for price… Welcome to custom keyboards. You can save a chunk getting the kit, though that means sourcing your own switches. The soldering isn’t much hassle though. You can actually source everything yourself if you really want to, though I’m not sure if you’d make much in the way of savings.



  • If it is a standalone (and most x Borg type things are) there is no need to get Mörk Borg itself. It isn’t like it is a core rulebook that others need to build off of. If anything I would say that this family of games is the opposite to that. The books are so much about communicating the vibe of that particular game and the underlying rules are very simple. I’d even say you don’t need to use the game a particular supplement or module is explicitly ‘for’.

    You might get some clashing aesthetics but that isn’t exactly out of place here. Buy the one(s) that looks cool to you, hack at them how you like.

    You’ve played Blades, and FitD/PbtA is probably the closest to the Borg ecosystem out of the games you mentioned. There is no one ‘core rule book’ just different games founded on the same principles.
