      Spot the unfortunately abbreviated key label. Also, would you really ever want to get a keyboard categorized as “biosurplus”? (One photo and h/t @splorp.)pic.twitter.com/TnjMslfNWh

          I thought it was a key to perform Cross-Site Forgery (Scripting) attacks! So good.

          Yeah, those are the good old special purpose keyboards. Do You happen to know what the font is called? Or where it comes from? Those letterings were very common at a certain time - just always wondered where they came from.

          AFAIK it’s called Gorton Modified and it comes from an engraving machine. See here:https://twitter.com/DominicPajak/status/985398820270899200 …
