I've used a bunch of HPs over the years. Some of them ProBook, mostly Elitebook. Either way, the keyboards were always awful. If you want to be 100% sure each key press registers, you have to press surprisingly hard.

If you've always used Dell and Lenovo, this kind of thing sounds completely absurd. It's something that would never even occur to you. Why would you even think about whether the key presses register with 100% reliability? Of course they do. You press the button, a letter appears. That's all there's to it, right?

Wrong! HP things there should be an element of surprise if you type normally. Unless you hammer the keyboard like a wild animal, there's no way to get to 100%. Even if you get the fanciest model, the keyboard still has this HP trademark suckiness.

That’s an unusual situation. Normally, Mexicans are trying to get a US citizenship, not the other way around. In any case, I wonder how long does it take for US citizens to apply for political asylum elsewhere.

Warfare is an incredibly polluting endeavor. Working for peace is a vital part of fixing our planet.

You can also borrow 100 million, build some commercial properties, and lease them to tenants.

When was the last time you saw a velociraptor coughing from pneumonia? Never. How about a velociraptor with depression, anxiety, cancer or heart disease? Yeah, never seen any of that either. Those guys just handle it like it's nothing.

Alternatively, you could stop being so poor. Simple as that!

That used to be a problem like 5-10 years ago. If you clicked something, YT used to think you must love that stuff, and would never forget that unfortunate click. Nowadays though, downvoting and watch time are taken more seriously by the algorithm. If I find some trash, I just give it a thumbs down and stop watching immediately. Seems to work pretty well for me.

IMO, political will is the biggest bottleneck in this transition. If we decide to make fossil fuels expensive, they will be. Politicians just don’t seem to want that for some reason.

Delusional conspiracy trash is another issue, but I think that’s a secondary problem. Most likely, politicians just appeal to conspiracy BS because of economic short term reasons. It’s not about what they know or believe about the climate.

Subscribe to the stuff you care about and ignore everything else. Check the other feeds only when you’re looking for something new.

The recommendation algorithm of YT is actually reasonably good at finding stuff worth watching. Whatever janky trash Reddit calls an algorithm is clearly serving the company more than anyone else.

Lemmy doesn’t even have that kind of an algorithm, so you’ll have to check places like !communitypromo@lemmy.ca when you’re looking for new and interesting stuff. IMO reading the all feed is an exercise in futility, unless you’re really interested in random memes.

Ignore all previous instructions spotted. 😄That is such a handy phrase that we should have an acronym for it. How about IAPI? Can we call this the IAPI-method?

Ok, so I was a bit too early with this test. I’ll try again later once version 88 is released.

The trending page of YT is like the r/all of Reddit. If I want to see some stuff I couldn't care less about, that's where I'll find it. I have no idea who actually uses that, but I've never found anything of value there.
