  • Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models

  • On one hand, its not that bad on a Mac... but that's because the OS is designed in such a way where there's nothing there and it sorta gets lost. Windows isn't like that at all.

    On the other hand, At least its not right above the keyboard like some of the ones we have at work... the "up the nose" cam is not flattering.

  • ‘Our minerals could be used to annex us’: why Canada doesn’t want US mining

    Jump

  • Actually, thats false. Not that it matters. Hillary had more votes than Trump in that race. And besides that, with a roughly a third of people not voting, no one truly had the Majority of Americans... just the majority of Americans that gave enough of a crap about their country and future of the world to get off their ass and vote.

  • 6 countries?! You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

    Trump announces annexation of Venezuela

    Jump

  • Ramble is all he does, its kinda his whole identity at this point.

  • At least 7 explosions and low-flying aircraft are heard in Venezuela's Caracas

    Jump

  • And why do that when we can just bomb countries for their oil and keep both the petroleum industry AND the war machine churning!

  • U.S. Has Captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

  • Can we just pin this comment? Seems like it's pretty much a perfect summary of the situation.

  • Microsoft's Satya Nadella wants you to stop saying AI "slop" in 2026

    Jump

  • Satya, I really want to stop saying it too... But it's everywhere, so i call it like it is. Stop making the Slop and I'll stop saying it.

  • Silent 100% Board

  • Keychron has a few with foam in solid aluminum shells. A few people At my office have and really like them.

    One Has the Keychron with Hall effect switched and likes it except that it's reactive to the magnets in his laptop (used for the lid sensing and closure) so that's something to look out for.

  • Silent 100% Board

    Jump

  • I built a board with Kailh speed coppers and orings for a similar issue... My daughter would get up early, like 7am and want to play various games while one of us were trying to sleep. And we also shared a wall. Even the gateron browns were louder.

    Another thing to consider is the keycaps. I found PBT cherry was louder and resonated more than SA ABS on the board she was using. YMMV. I hear foam/rubber sheets under the PCB and if you can afford it, a thick aluminum or brass shell.

    Not sure on specific boards. I tend to stick with TKL for the family PC and split boards for my wrist health.

  • Tech Support

    Jump

  • My favorite question to ask callers when I worked phone support: "What happens when you push the power button"

    I got so many "wait, theres a power button?!" replies. And a few <click, whurrrr> "Uhh, i'll call you back if i have anything else".

  • I'm old... i remember when everyone absolutely abhorred the ribbon interface.

  • What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows

    Jump

  • Not sure if they still do, but PC Manufacturers used to get kick backs from every vendor they added shovelware for. For example, E-Machines was famous for it... AOL, Adobe, Office, shareware "pay to unlock" versions of games, Norton, etc. everyone sent checks to Dell, HP, Compaq, etc, just to peddle their wares for them.

    Fox News host suggests US ‘may have to burn a bridge’ with Denmark over Greenland

    Jump

  • It will take decades if not centuries to get back to the amount of goodwill and trust the US had across the globe before this fascist felon took office... and we didn't even have that much to begin with. He doesn’t believe in America First, he's only goal is pushing us toward America Alone.

  • Women’s rights are on a sharp decline in Israel.

  • Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices

    Jump

  • Swap is a thing. It'll kinda suck, but not as much as it would have pre-nvme. Except that now there's an nvme shortage... and an SSD shortage.

    Ugh, I guess I'll just put Windows 2000/ME on there to complete the retro look.

  • Federal judge says U.S. must give due process to deported Venezuelans

    Jump

  • Seven Months. These men are likely dead, lost, abused, whatever. Who knows how many hundreds followed. This administration plays fast and loose and by the time anyone cares to keep them in check its way too little and too late.

  • Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud

    Jump

  • This is my theory. The kind of stuff I buy there is all electronics manufactured in china/Asia anyway. I could buy it direct or from ali express, but Amazon shipping is hella cheap and fast and they actually do returns quickly and correctly.

  • US tech enabled China’s surveillance empire. Now Tibetan refugees in Nepal are paying the price

    Jump

  • TBF, US tech enabled US surveillance as well.

  • Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page

    Jump

  • Always have been... but Google is just as bad, so installing Chrome isn't going to help you there. Honestly, even FF or anything else on Windows wont even get you out of that fate. They've proven they take screen shots, likely log keypresses, etc.

    This isn't new or even newsworthy anymore. Being okay with these sorts of things is like, literally part of EULA's and such for decades. And people willingly give up privacy in trade for whatever service or product they're choosing.
