Hey! 👋 I was getting stressed out on discord by being in too many discords, so I declared temporary discord bankruptcy on everything but like one group chat. Once my brain has cooled down I will get back into it.
It uses a relatively coarse grind and relatively high agitation. It's a little confusing at first but the idea essentially is that instead of doing a brew, tasting it, and adjusting your next brew to be a little better (Hoffmann style), you eyeball the drawdown rate and add more or less agitation depending on the speed. So instead of dialing entirely between brews, you are doing some correction on the fly during the brew itself, leading to fewer bad cups of coffee.
Claims like "losing millions because some people don't pay the fare" are like when IP holders claim that they're losing gazillions to piracy because they treat every pirated copy and then some as a sale they would otherwise have made; legally defensible but don't actually get at the underlying issues. (Which, in the case of transit, is that it's silly to fund transit with fares and especially to expect them to be self-supporting. Transit should be free or extremely low cost as it is beneficial to all.)
Most ergo split boards are DIY builds. They're cheap, but they require you to do a fair bit of soldering. (Usually including diodes and controllers.)
Many ergo boards are built around the pro micro pinout, and this means that they can generally be made into wireless builds using nice!nano controllers, batteries, and ZMK firmware.
Theoretically any pro micro based board can be made wireless like this, but the experience will be a bit better if the PCB supports battery on/off switches. This is especially true if you ever need to transport the board, because ZMK has no way to turn the board off electronically or put it into a soft lockout mode.
I really like the Kyria, personally, but ergo board layout preferences are very personal. You can compare layouts here: https://compare.splitkb.com/
