Startpage has been decent for me. I find results and move on with life as a search engine should be.

I accidentally used the googs on a system last week and holy hell was it awful. The results looked so weird and unhelpful and then I noticed the default SE on the browser and fixed it straight away.

Me: Hello niece, what career will you embark on once college is over?

Niece: Marketing.

Me: [audibly] Ah, I see. [inaudibly] Where did our family go wrong???

…and it doesn’t look like he’ll take any of your guff either!

IODD makes some. I had the older HDD version that stopped working after it got dropped, so now I use this one:

The olde ones are nice. Not sure about the newer ones. I have two T420s and one T430. The 420 was the last of the chicklet keys I think. Can swap CPU/RAM as well. The 430 has the CPU soldered in like most major brand laptops do meow.
