This is really nice for games optimized for the touch screen such as Football Manager or Magic the Gathering. Holding the deck with one hand and playing with the other is uncomfortable after a while.

Thanks for remembering me! I ended up getting a pillow for iPad.

This looks like a much, much nicer solution. Unfortunately shipping to Portugal alone is 71 euros making this a truly unreasonable price for me. Hopefully they get really popular and come to Europe!

Yep, it’s off :(

It really is crazy. I’m happy that keyboards are becoming more mainstream. Too many people use shitty keyboards! Invest in your tools, people!

It’s not lightning that adds up to the price, it’s stuff like aluminum case, quality mechanical switches and yes, keycaps.

Unfortunately these gamer keyboards have the worst keycaps you’ve ever seen, the cheapest Chinese switches money can buy and the highest amount of telemetry on that oh so important software. It’s pretty disgusting.

The mechanical keyboard trend has been around for a while and it’s really worth checking out if you use a keyboard for 8 hours a day.

Yes, they are different but as you can see it wasn’t smooth either: https://www.techspot.com/news/103899-crowdstrike-also-broke-debian-rocky-linux-earlier-year.html

I’m not sure how ClownStrike works on BSD, though .

The problem with that logic is that this failure was not caused by Microsoft, it was caused by ClownStrike. Their software works on Windows and Linux (not sure about Mac) and they fucked up the linux software a few weeks before the Microsoft incident.

Even if Linux had more market share in the affected endpoints they would still have been affected, just on different timelines I guess.

I’d upgrade if given the choice to do so. Lineage is stuck on Android 12 for my device so I guess that’s it.

It’s hard for me to believe that hunter / food seeker isn’t the oldest profession… But it’s definitely up there.

If no one even bothers to reply I’ll probably just buy another brand to be honest :/

You may find it laughable but it is what it is. Most people does not enjoy signing up for specific product forums. It’s much easier to just add yet another discord server to the list.

That’s a very neat idea, to be honest. I hadn’t thought of that!

Unfortunately this doesn’t work in Portugal. Most sales people don’t have any sort of training in the products they sell and they are heavily pressured into selling services rather than products. Your budget is 200 euros? They’re going to try to suggest you a 100 euros product and then try to get you to buy extended warranty and/or insurance.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely start asking there!

The mechanical keyboard topic was just an example. Because I’m kinda into mechanical keyboards, I can instantly spot the obviously bad recommendations. If the topic was something like microphones or washing machines, I’d be toast.

I don’t know how you read my comment and concluded that I approve racism or homofobia. It’s these kind of comments that push people away.

Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat. You can’t insult people into your way. No one wants to have a conversation with you when you just randomly accuse them of homofobia. In your future attempt try going easier and with baby steps. People are more likely to stop eating meat if they take it one step at a time. This ridiculous expectation that someone must change their lifestyle over night or they’re racists… This isn’t the way, statistically speaking. But alas, this is a pointless discussion because you already know this and just want to fight with a stranger on the internet. Have a nice day.

This is not how you get people to join your ideas, this is how you push them away further.

I have never met anyone in real life that doesn’t address you the way you ask them to. My language, however, does not have gender neutral pronouns so the “did you just assume X gender” question is kinda annoying.

That’s a very liberal use of the word “objectively”.

The problem is that Russia has far more resources than Ukraine and they have an upper hand in this war. They do not wish to leave empty handed. As sad as it is, for peace to happen Ukraine is going to have to lose something.

Putin already said he doesn’t want peace when the opponent has a shortage of ammo so this discussion is irrelevant anyway.

I wish we did more for Ukraine, it’s deeply saddening to see the news :(
