I will never forgive them for cancelling Inside Job after renewing it for another season. Or for cancelling The Owl House, but that at least had time for a 3 episode wrap up season.

Is it a magnetic switch Keychron? They have a feature where it can work as analogue input because it can sense how deep the keys are pressed, and it may be emulating a gamepad to do this and taking priority over your main controller

Nintendo voluntarily paid higher prices for raw materials and therefore should not receive a tarrif refund

One of Wannabe's co-writers revealed that it was inspired by a saying on set: 'Shit and cigars.' Apparently, the Spice Girls shared a recording studio in Shoreditch with a famous musician and decided to give said celebrity this nickname.

Why? Well the anonymous co-writer told The Sun: "There was this one eighties pop dude who hated us for encroaching on what he considered 'his turf' which was boy bands and girl bands.

"This guy had this nasty habit of taking a dump in the shared khazi while smoking a cigar, so we took to referring to him as 'Shit and Cigars'."

So 'zig-a-zig-ah' might sound like nonsense, but in fact the girls were using it as a statement against the sexist figureheads in the music industry.

Honestly kinda want one. It'd be like having a coin of Hitler commissioned by the man himself

I daily a manual and this is a braindead take

Looking forward to it! Was supposed to ship in June but apparently they took more time to enter production than expected.

Mine did the same thing on the screen, bottom housing, and the little metal pads (be careful, there are springs under there you don't want to lose!)

The adhesives weren't made for these temperatures. Threw some B-7000 on it until my pebble watch pre-order makes it

10 minutes for you, but 10xs the delay for unpaid crawlers hammering the site to train their AI

Sick, but also in the mean time check out the Valetudo project

 

Just sat down with a fresh cup and knocked it into my keyboard. Turned it off and started pulling keycaps off, then soaked it up best I could to no avail.

Wouldn't turn back on after so I dug out every screw, pulled the back off, soaked up as much coffee as I could on the pcb, and ran some isopropyl alcohol under the other side of the PCB where I couldn't reach.

To my surprise this was enough to get it to turn back on. Keys were registering their neighbors too so I had to scrub it with a toothbrush, but afterwards it's fully functional and saved me $250 for a replacement
