I use Windows for work and play, but use the Apple M3501 at work. The OS key is mapped as the same OS key in Windows so it's functionally identical. I would say I struggle more from switching to the Apple AEK profile to SP SA. The bottom row is also different in number of keys and length of each key, but I don't seem to have any issues with that. I would love if my work keyboard had smaller bezels.
I can see just cause for "improving" the standard layout; however, I don't see the real value in these micro-improvements. The left side of a keyboard is a mix of 1u-2.5u keys. So the only key that can be shrunk without really changing the layout is Shift. What would you add in the space granted by shrinking the shift key? I can't think of I key or string of keys that I use enough to justify it's own button. Same goes with a split space. I like how big it is because I do use both of my thumbs to press space (mostly the right now that I am thinking about it), but more because I strike the space bar from multiple spots as I type, which is probably "incorrect" but feels better. Forgiving. On a ANSI full size there are 4u of space above the numpad that is unused and 5u worth of space around the arrow cluster that could be used for Macros/Shortcuts, etc vs modifying the existing layout.
I work T2 IT so my job doesn't involve lots of shortcuts, it mostly involves writing notes, a few shortcuts for screenshots, opening Windows apps, etc. What kinds of jobs benefit from the increased flexibility and shortcuts and how much time/effort does it save? That level of min/max seems more balanced towards: this is technically faster/easier and is fun more than it is to actual efficiency gains. But at the end of the day keyboards are a means to an end and we are just tryng to express ourselves or have a good time while doing it. I'd love to hear some real world use case where these "micro-efficiencies" are measurable benefits.
refurbished products in general from mainstream retailers are pretty bad, it's just shoddy work because the person refurbishing it either doesn't have the experience or isn't paid enough to care that much about the product.Never blame the workers for that which can be attributed to profit.
Sellers will push the limits in order to get the most profit, especially when they know Amazon won't punish them for lying or having lots of returns.
putting a child in a world that will probably be in ruin by the end of their life
My children are grateful that I gave them life, and they are glad to be alive.
Life is far from perfect, but a person should get an opportunity to live it.
As it is, the majority of new babies are born into the worst conditions, and many of what would be the most advantaged babies are simply never conceived.
Is that really a rational way to think about procreating? Or, like TP4 says - if you don't want discomfort, don't go outside.
This is the intention of late stage capitalism, to make the working class subservient to the ruling one until the system basically becomes a monarchy.
It's not so villainous/ premeditated. Even most rich ass-#*les agree that in general, monarchies, highly concentrated power is in the long run BAD for business as it increases the ratio of mismanagement.
Quoteanti-natalism might be the toughest topic in history to debate
How do we incentivize a young population who is poorer than the last generation and years behind financially than their parents (at the same time in their lives) to take on children who are also more expensive than they have ever been coupled with daycare insecurity due to lack of options or spots in existing daycares?
I cannot believe I missed this after following this keycap set for literally years.
Any chance there will be a second GB?
