I don’t think there is any commercially available macropad that allows remapping without compiling. A custom macro with a controller that runs MicroPython though, like the Raspberry Pi Micro, can be modified by changing the source code, so no extra software needs to be installed. See this as an example https://blog.4dcu.be/diy/2021/04/05/Macropad.html
If you have enough light, close your aperture to something like f10 or higher, and increase your ISO to some value where you’re comfortable with the noise, like 6400. Test different shutter speeds depending on the action that you’re trying to capture, but the small aperture will help with the focus.
Maybe try manual focusing too, at small apertures you can set a large focus plane that will capture all the action.
Relatively easy to whip up yourself for little money if you have access to a 3D printer and a soldering iron. Get a RP2040 development board for $2, 9 switches and keycaps and hand solder them directly, you don’t even need to source diodes.
Usually the recommendation is to take short, no longer than 30 minutes naps. Supposedly, after 30 minutes you go into deep sleep and waking up will make you feel tired. I haven’t reviewed the scientific validity of the claims, but it has always worked for me.
I quite enjoyed reading Neil Gaiman’s books before, I’ll give Sandman a go, thanks!
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll give those a go for sure!
I’m an avid reader and recently I tried reading The Watchmen, couldn’t finish it with how needlessly drawn out it is. I am sorry to fans of graphic novels, but if this the best there is in the genre I must say the whole genre feels pretty weak to me.
And yet, it’ll keep being available in the high seas.
