How ironic that much of Microsoft and all MacOS depends on Linux/Unix.

I mean ironic for those companies. Irony is not directed at OP.

Cool!

If only it had been a couch trophy.

I’ve had a similar thought.

Dead, or severely hurt. Or the system purposely dehumanizes so much that there is no way to connect a person to a real identity anymore.

Aren’t a lot of religions based on hallucinations that specific people have had?

Nice!

You sound like someone who has used a printer, and likely has seen a PC Load Letter error. Ha!

Are you using the working keys on the builtin keyboard?

It would be great to find a software solution.

A hardware solution would be to unplug the keyboard if you are always using an external keyboard. As long as it will bolt with the internal keyboard unplugged.

Kinda risky, but you could also see if you can unsolder or cut the track to that specific broken key. There is the risk of completely borking the keyboard, though.

The last time I considered buying anything from HP was, like, 2001.

Others with lower prices innovated.

Then when HP lowered prices, it was because they loaded up with 3rd party subscription programs pre-installed, went with brittle parts that were expensive to fix, systems were slow from bad drivers, and hid repair info. I think they were the first to DRM their printer cartridges. I think they were the first to start ink subscriptions.

No way I’d own anything from HP.

You know how they say that the internet is a series of tubes? We used to think that was just a funny old man. Turns out, it is the literal truth. The internet is made up of SVG files!

Keeping the device turned on while the airplane is ascending and descending.

If you want to cost a company money, calling and talking to a person is a big expense for any company.

Right. Purchasing new sends money to the ultra rich somewhere in the world.

Yes, used is the way to go to be the most socially and anti-capitalist conscious.

I don’t understand how any app stores make it past version 1.1 without such basic features like this in their search.

I’ll allow it!

Only $5 million to get a “Gold” card!

This is a way to slightly make a block work better to keep away from stalkers. Yes, a stalker can create another account. But it does add an additional small speed bump.
