Heheh I’m ddossing them right now. Unfortunately the computer I’m doing it on is having a few connection issues

Cool, yeah I will definitely be trying it out thanks.

Yeah, since about 2016 it has started to get really bad though. I remember when I would be looking for a solution to a computer related issue, all the top results were super useful Tom’s Hardware and AnandTech forum posts. But of course nobody does SEO for forum posts because they’re just trying to help people not make money, so instead now all of the probably AI written crap is in the top results which half the time is only barely related to what I searched

I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results

Did you really just say car racism lmao.

I know that in the UK 1.3% of our land is road, so maybe the global average isn’t much lower

God you sound like an absolutely horrible miserable individual. Give my condolences to whomever is unlucky enough to have you in their lives.

Not everyone wants to engage in a race to the bottom where you’re not allowed to seek to improve your circumstances relatively to other even more lucky and privileged people in your own country because people in other countries have even less. If you were in any of the countries you’re bringing up and talking to someone else in one of those countries you would literally be saying the exact same thing you are now you would just refer to someone in an even worse circumstance still, e.g. someone with two missing legs.

I bet you have things much easier than half the people in this thread and all you care about is making sure that isn’t threatened so you have to try to uphold the status quo at all costs. Because all you really care about is yourself, not anybody in Venezuala or anywhere else they’re just an argumentative tool to dismiss anybody who wants to make things better in their own country.

Ah I see, yeah after commenting that I remembered seeing something a few years ago about a laptop that has slim mech keys, they must use similar switches to that keyboard.

That’s a nice keyboard, I personally can’t stand the “gamer aesthetic” so it looks good to me. I used to use a Cherry keyboard which looked like one of those large beige keyboards from the 90s, which I liked not just because Cherry manufacters the switches you see in more expensive mech keyboards so it was nice having a Cherry brand keyboard, but also because it looked quite unique compared to modern keyboards. That keyboard had Cherry blue switches, unfortunately I broke that keyboard (entirely my fault.) My current keyboard looks very similar to that one, with Kailh blue switches.

There’s two main companies that manufacture the keys for mech keyboards, Cherry and Kailh. Cherry is a German company and their switches last longer and are usually considered to be a little better to use but that is quite subjective. Kailh is a Chinese company, like I say they don’t last for quite as long but you’ll definitely still get minimum 3 years out of them, most likely they’ll last 5+ years with daily use. Kailh switches are cheaper and so the keyboards are cheaper (except for Razer, they use Kailh switches but charge the same price as companies that make keyboards with Cherry switches lol.) I haven’t used Cherry/Kailh brown switches (that keyboard has Kailh browns) but I understand they’re good switches for general use, especially in an office context. They’re less clicky but otherwise similar to blues.

You might want look up a comparison of the various switches, but here’s a graphic I could find with some basic info. Linear switches have no “bump” where you can feel the switch being actuated, tactile and clicky switches do but with tactiled you only feel it, there is no corresponding click sound (or much less of one.)

Really? That’s surprising. Are you just indifferent about the clickiness?

I definitely aren’t as fanatical about them as most people, I don’t mind using non mech keys. But I definitely prefer using a nice mech keyboard when I have the option.

You know you can get quiter mech keyboards? Also sometimes people put O rings on the stem of the key to dampen the sound. I don’t think there are any slim mech keyboards- though there are nice small 50%, 60%, 65% and 70% keyboards

Edit: here’s what a 50% keyboard looks like, pretty cute right?

Oh did it only work on one channel? There’s probably a way to do it that will work on all channels. When I tried the other day too I found that the banner was removed but the space it took up remained so it didn’t really help. But I noticed it gives you the option to edit some CSS/HTML so maybe doing that can make it work.

Well a mechanical keyboard could help you type a little faster actually. I think the primary appeal of them is that they feel nice to type on though. Another reason people buy them is because they’re good for playing games competitively such as CS:GO.

Especially because the answers to these captchas are used to train self driving car AI, so if you fuck it up the self driving cars will crash and you will have blood on your hands :/

You should be able to right click the banner and then click “block element”

That’s also a good description for mechanical keyboards

2030 is in 6 years :)
