  • I use only 40% and 30% keyboards, thats ones without dedicated number or f key rows, and have done so for about six years now. Majority I use are standard stagger but a few are ortho or splits. Almost all of them that I like using are split space with left half as enter and the right as space.

    I can touch type, although I am not the fastest, only a bit above 80wpm. This is mostly due to me being dyslexic so spelling is challenging for me and I can get bogged down looking up words or retyping it. If I do not give a shit about spelling I can easily get well over 100wpm.

    I think the main show off skill I can do is look at a person I am talking to while typing a different conversation on the computer. Obviously I cannot do either if its complicated conversations but simple stuff is fine.

  • UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill

    Jump

  • Yeah that's the point of the license from Ofcom, to approve the endpoint address used for the VPN. Most work places don't use some random IP address but a small pool of known DNS entries for their endpoint. Just because you are using a VPN doesn't mean nobody can see which endpoint you using.

  • It has always been the main aim of legislation like this to nobble VPNs, they just needed the "child" "violent pornography" etc. excuse to do so. UK government already monitors all of the internet traffic for the UK, except for MPs who are exempt, VPNs are a blocker for this.

    Obviously, not even the UK government would expect a private VPN ban (work VPNs would likely need an Ofcom license) to stop everybody from using a VPN or suitable alternative, its not the aim. The aim is to stop the majority from doing so and criminalize the minority who do still bypass the block as it gives them the power to seize equipment, ask for your logins (its illegal punishable with jail time to not supply this in the UK), request ISP logs etc. to deep dive into your life.

  • Work based VPNs would likely have to obtain a license from Ofcom, it would be highly unlikely to block them completely. Probably be requesting a back door into the work VPNs at the same time just like they have for other encryption, lol.

  • Mechanical keyboards are like guitars, you can play the same notes on a cheap one as you can on something custom made for you for thousands. Do they sound very different? Almost always, although the guitar needs someone who can actually play well, unlike the mechanical keyboard.

    However, if you really really care and you really really know what you want out of either you can tweak absolutely everything about both. You want ultra soft silent keyboard? Sure. You want the most clickty keyboard with tons of pressure? Sure. You want something thocky but still has lots of flex? Sure.

  • Well this explains why I like both.

  • Romulans could also line up against the Black Numenoreans, fits the split from the good line of Numenoreans, Vulcans. Either is good though

    I can see the Quark thing, especially with the Dwavern rings enhancing their lover of material things

  • I'd have picked Tom Bombadill over Gandalf to line up against Q

  • The more I think about this the more I think her providing a list of Trumps enemies the more I think MAD will kick in. Say she names someone we all know when to Pedo island, Clinton. Do we really think Clinton won't start naming names to save his own skin? And that won't include Trump?

  • No having to sign in on the prison log, no being on the cameras, far easier to hide who she spoke to, especially if it was on the phone to Donnie while she was out

  • Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science

  • I have a BEng in software engineering. It wasn't thst different from a normal BSc in CS. Bits that stood out to me was industrial stuff around building and programming our own circuits, making our own (very simple) compiler, and some assembly modules, I had more maths stuff but that was for 3D graphics. My dissertation was a temperature control system for radiators.

    I don't really use any of it in my job, although I did do a ton more programming modules than most CS of the time, and those programming modules prove very useful.

  • State pension age could rise again after cost of triple lock soars

    Jump

  • The completely made up and arbitrary fiscal rules? The ones we could change at any moment, for say, defense spending?

  • State pension age could rise again after cost of triple lock soars

    Jump

  • Sick of them refusing to address the actual problem. Triple lock costing too much money right now? I know let's fix it by reducing the amount of people claiming it for an extra year, years from now. Punishing the very people actually contributing the tax revenue to pay for the pension and the triple lock today.

    If you are spending too much money now you either need to reduce the money being spent now by binning the triple lock or increase taxation this year and be hones thats what its (part) paying for. Except you too chicken shit to do that.

  • We face nationalisation if we’re not let off fines, Thames Water warns

    Jump

  • The threat he is trying to make is around the government being on the hook for the loans and urgent improvement works at a time the government is trying to cut costs.

    Should we nationalise it? Yes but it needs to be in such a way that we write off the costs of doing so as much as possible. I have no idea how we can protect ourselves in doing that without causing at least some problems downstream.

  • There were still tickets available the day before, despite heavy discounts. I suspect they used seat filling services in the end to push it to capacity.They had to do so for some of the other knock out stages.

  • Yeah we stole all our good food from our former colonies and improved on them, see curry.

  • Yeah that's not the same thing as a bland food diet, that's up there with the cabbage diet for how awful it is.

    Mine is: Scrambled eggs made with cottage cheese + porridge for breakfast Chicken, salad (no dressing) and rice for lunch Chicken, vegetables and rice/sweet potatoes/lentils for tea

    No sauces, just dry herbs/spices as a rub.

    Snacks are two protein shakes, naked bar (counts as a one a day of fruit/veg allowance), banana.

    Repeat for past two years. Before that it was lentils, avo, boiled egg, before than goats cheese salad for lunch.

    Its boring as fuck when you do it for months at a time but it works for me. Controlling
