Hacker’s Keyboard can. Because it’s just a condensed full keyboard, ctrl, alt, arrow keys, function keys, and most of the rest included.
You are the only one wasting time by giving dumbass avoidance advice instead of telling us what you know.
… What insider information do you have and why do you want to keep us ignorant???
The question was, “why is this a technical limitation?” Not, “what should I do to work around the limitation?”.
I agree, that’s why I said, “… they simply don’t use the units enough.”
I know imperial VERY well, but that’s because I lift weights listed in lbs and craft things all the time, which takes measuring. I also do 3d printing in metric, so I have a solid feel for millimeters, centimeters, and decimeters, but less so full meters because I seldom work on that scale.
Considering I had an intuition for lbs as a child, though… I don’t really buy that people suck at their native units as adults. If they do, they’re simply not paying attention.
Ehhhhh… measurements aren’t that hard to learn. They’re still measuring the same kinds of things. All measurements are still arbitrary to a human.
Basically the ONLY thing the metric system has over imperial is it matches our number system by being base-10. I know I know, it’s a BIG difference for a lot of calculations to not have to throw in non-matching unit conversions, and the metric system is ultimately based on absolute values pulled from the universe. At least by definition, as meaningless as that fact is to humans just looking at a length and going, “yup, that’s about 1 1/2 meters.”.
Anyone who failed to build an intuition simply didn’t use units enough. A lot of US carpenters like imperial units for a similar reason most like the metric system: The ratios match up to what they work with. Most people work with base-10 numbers A LOT more than base 8, 12, or 16. Though for woodworkers, when boards come in feet, blades are clean fractions of inches in size, and buildings are sized 8’ tall, etc, etc, it all lines up nicely to reduce a worker’s mental load.
I still think metric is superior, but imperial very much is not “senseless”. The biggest reason we’ll never switch is because so many industries have their ratios set for imperial units or interact with other American construction based on those ratios. Not to mention maintenance on things already built. It’d be a huge headache of a transition for many industries.
That is a Dad Joke quality non-pun right there.
The problem wasn’t having a problem. The problem was “fixing” the problem by introducing more problems.
That doesn’t mean it’s magically OK to be so irresponsible that you put others in danger.
No, that sounds more like you have a sleep issue you are neglecting and now you’re making it everyone else’s problem…
Grow up and fix yourself before you start being proud about being broken, ffs. If it’s remotely a problem to stay awake after sleep and caffeine, you should be talking to doctors.
Ahhh, so it IS a poser joke, but not at corporations? Makes sense.
If I had to guess, they’re the excited corporations jumping on the rainbow capitalism bandwagon now that it’s June, always eager to say, “we support you (one month out of the year in an attempt to pander)!!”, and Tuvak is the actual lgbtq+ community going, “lol no”.
Though it doesn’t strike me as too obvious, so who knows if that matches the intent.
No, they absolutely exist, you just seem to be ignorant. https://www.sciencealert.com/viral-video-reveals-the-bizarre-way-you-can-make-a-soda-can-fully-transparent
“… til then I’m good at home.” Funny, that’s most likely where you’ll have to kill some Nazis next.
Nah, this is much worse. It’s like any effective con: Make it absurd at face value so the only people you deal with are already selected to be foolish rubes.
Too bad the US is full of foolish rubes… Hopefully not over half, but I’m not holding my breath.
Oh come on, you’ve watched this farce for how long and still ask that question? He’ll be released and immediately pardon himself for anything and everything he can, and literally go to war against the states that still want to hold him accountable.
Maybe less caffeine if you’re so essily stimulated metabolically.

You can not believe them all you want. It doesn’t magically make everyone competent.
Businesses value MONEY first, not security, not happy customers, not competent staff. MONEY.
Which is cheaper? Get a product working enough to sell. Get a product properly developed, secured, and audited.
Pick one. Hint: corporations choose MONEY. Every time.
Your data is not safe, because rich pieces of shit like MONEY more than they like YOU.
