😔 Looks like the Model M MCANPOS & MPOS LCD keyboards have been retired, gone from TGCS's site. If true, it means we're down to just 3 Model Ms with buckling sleeve switches - original IBM ThinkPad keyboard descendents - left. 35 years of history at knife's edge. commerce.toshiba.com/wps/portal/m...

#Linux #kernel 7.1 is out & can be built with #SHORK 486! 7.1 removes 486 support, some ISA & PCMCIA network drivers & IBM PC 110 trackpad driver - all of which are patched back in! github.com/SharktasticA... SHORK 486's first release is next week as I hope to expand testing and gauge more opinions!

I'm pissed."would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase." So, it was probably gonna be good? I guess we should've known what was gonna go down given this is Amazon. I'm also so sorry for everyone involved with making it. They had a good band of people assembled.
For my #Arch #Linux friends out there, shorkfetch (my shark-themed *fetch utility originally for SHORK 486) is now on AUR! Please give it a try and let me know what you think and if there any bugs or weird/overly verbose output!

Yesterday, I attended a keyboard meetup in Bristol to fly the IBM/vintage flag! Naturally, I brought a venerable HAJ protector for the table! The ThinkPad displayed a continuous slideshow of other IBM keyboard/keyboard adjacent heritage! Photos of the event: ftp.sharktastica.co.uk/meetups/2026...
