  “Yea dude let me just dial in this code from my keyboard”
context: Though i wish it was, this is not my build. They made a whole blog post detailing the build here. >
  
  
  his grandparents had a rotary dial phone
  
  the use of grandparents here and not parents makes me feel old >
  
  The rotary phone started to be phased out in the 50’s was discontinued in ‘86. If you were born in the 90s very good chance your parents did not own a rotary. >
  
  My mom kept an old rotary phone around when I was a kid just in case power went out. >
  
  The rotary and the touch tone were both supplied power through the telephone line.  If one would have worked, the other would have worked. >
  
  I'm assuming the other phone was cordless. >
  
  Bingo. >
  
  I mean....it's impressive....but what were you drinking during the design stage?!? 🤣 >
  
  Unleaded. >
  
  are you sure it wasn't leaded? >
  
  AVGAS 100 LL >
  
  They were so preoccupied with whether they could, they never stopped to wonder if they should. >
  
  And had they stopped, the answer would have been FUCK YES. >
  
  Timeline of my reactions to this picture:
  
  Haha, that's silly
  I mean... I used rotary phones and dialing was kinda nice
  I need a rotary phone numpad >
  
  “Yeah man, I will be on for raid night, I just need to work on my rotation before then.” >
  
  Eyyyy nice one >
  
  What a real "rotary encoder" is >
  
  I can finally send a keyboard when someone says something stupid! >
  
  I want it. I need it. I NEED IT! >
  
  Turning the phone with your finger is low-key satisfying ngl. >
  
  Phreaking in 2022? >
  
  so is this a rotary encoder or a numpad? or both? >
  
  This is the sexiest keyboard I’ve ever seen. How can I make this? >
  
  Imagine to be able to call 911 with out leaving the home row... sir take my money and send me this beauty 😍 >
  
  is this still tenkeyless? >
  
  There are no keys, there are holes, so I'd say it's tkl >
  
  Won’t take long before someone really makes this shit. Then we’re gonna get telegraph keyboards >
  
  You say that as if it's a bad thing. >
  
  Just tell me when the group buy 😭 >
  
  Now you can get clacky noises while you make clacky noises. >
  
  If you used three rotor dials concurrently, I am sure you. Could types roughly the same speed >
  
  Kinda badass tbh >
  
  I saw the thumbnail briefly before I took a closer look and thought to myself "It's about time someone put a CD player on the side of a keyboard." >
  
  The way numpads should be
