There are distro decals you can replace with :)
Disabled mine a looong time ago
Super key? That’s not Window’s specfic, it’s just a logo.
And soon, new laptops will have a second forced stupid Microsoft key. The copilot key.
Not even joking.
They’re on some “AI” laptop for a while now
For anyone interested, this is a tuxedo laptop
Why they use derpy Tux? or is it you choosing it I think they let you do that, but atleast it’s not a Windows logo
Why is there a Win-Lock option? I get Caps Lock and Fn-Lock but is there any other reason besides saving a finger for the all-important Win-Ctrl-Alt-Shift-L shortcut to open LinkedIn? /s
Its on gaming laptops so when you are playing, you dont accidentally open windows menu
Oh, so it does the reverse of what I thought
LMAO, I thought that was a windows app store icon.
Same lol
Ok now remove fast boot and TPM
Bootloader? Not sure my laptop support it
I hate that shit so much. I don’t buy keyboards with the Windows key logo on it anymore.
I’m petty enough to put stickers over mine.
Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do on mine
If you want an alternative, lab label tape is a bit pricy but is super durable, comes in fun colors, doesn’t leave residue, and sticks for practically forever.
I respect this.
I used to have this really awesome early 2000’s transparent blue plastic keyboard with all the newest media keys. The only problem was that it had 4 windows keys on it! One on either side of the spacebar. The right side of the spacebar was Alt, Windows, Context menu, CTRL. That was a bit weird but it was alright. The next placements were crazy though. Someone figured there was space for more keys right below the Delete, End and Page Down keys but I guess they couldn’t really figure out what would be best for there so they put a 3rd Windows key, a 2nd Context Menu and then a 4th Windows key right there. This was pretty close to the arrow keys and if anyone remembers gaming in the early 2000’s, pressing the windows key accidentlly would often just crash your game completely. If you could get back into it, it could take quite a while for it to respond again. So if you were playing something like Warcraft 2 multiplayer, that button was a fucking nightmare.
Ugh, I loved the colour of that keyboard so much I put up with all those windows keys.
edit: I can’t believe I found it! I’ve tried searching for this keyboard a few times, but finally found proof on this site!
Wow, that is pretty but also atrocious
It reminds me of the Macally iKey
GET THE SANDPAPER
The logo is embedded on the keycap to let the light passthrough
Not worth the microplastic. Just put a sticker over it.
Keyboard ?
could just replace it, no? Unless your keyboard is weird, the size of window key is pretty standard right?
Not as easy on a laptop, like this is. Usually a pain in the ass to replace laptop chicklet keyboard keys, if you can even find a replacement without a windows icon
@ColdWater that and probably the Microsoft root certificate stored in your motherboard’s firmware
Also e.g. the lobbying around ACPI breaking suspend to ram sometimes. Funny little Bill Gates quote on that:
One thing I find myself wondering about is whether we shouldn’t try and make the “ACPI” extensions somehow Windows specific. It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me. Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something related to this.
The antitrust war was in full effect when he said that. Gates is a good guy now, but he was a ruthless pos as head of MS.
He is most certainly not a good guy.
gates was never a good guy. he just paints this image.
Yeah, you’re right. I guess I bought the “good guy” image.
You did see him praise trump at some kinda tech bro meeting in the white house the other day, right?
No, I didn’t. Wow…
In case you want to, here’s a link: https://youtu.be/sZcB4pD8gW4
No one rich enough to be in Trump’s vicinity actually believes any of the glazing they do to him. They’re all executing the very basic strat for dealing with a baby man: stroke his ego -> get what you want.
As far as interacting with other sociopaths goes, my guess is trump is refreshingly simple for them.
Doesn’t make Gates a good person, even if that’s accurate.
I mean, what is he supposed to do. The orange man threatened to put Zuckerberg in jail for the rest of his life if he doesn’t comply. I have not very much hope left for the upcoming testimonies regarding Steam, Twitch, Discord and Reddit.
If you have any power at all, complying with the blatant fascist is treason. You know what happens next. Think of all the people who have virtually no power, who can be beaten, imprisoned, deported, without consequence. Chuds like Zuckerberg and Gates pave the way for that. They have enough money and power to insulate themselves.
Even fucking Musk parted company with the ghoul emperor. Imagine having less spine than someone who bought a social media platform so people would stop making fun of him (didn’t work, obv).
I don’t think musk actually parted ways with Trump. Considering the Trump administration keeps giving his companies contracts, it was just theater.
You are right, but I highly doubt that he cares enough considering the quote I posted earlier. He probably also has a shitload of staff around him telling him what to do, whose life also depend on him complying.
Also, Musk bought Twitter to influence the outcome of elections, not for being a petty child that doesn’t want to be insulted online. Well, maybe, but that’s not the whole story here.
When was that threat made?
“We are watching him closely,” Mr Trump wrote in his new book, “and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison - as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
He wrote it in a book (or his writer lol), shortly before he got elected, about a year ago. Look for “Trump Zuckerberg jail threat”, I don’t know which source to cite here.
Gates is a good guy now
gates has put his money into a charity to protect his money; charities are only required to share a pittance of their wealth by law and lots of oligarchs have been putting their money into charities because of it.
it’s troubling to read that people are actually buying the bullshit that the pr firms are putting around this activity.
Yes, this is on me. I unfortunately bought the bullshit.
no one is immune to propaganda and i suspect that a huge majority still thinks gates and other oligarchs have become good guy because of it.
Yeah, Gates never was a good guy, not then and not now. Evil is a spectrum and all that, but Bill Gates’s philanthropy is a scam, and Bill Gates fucked over the US Education system.
So yeah, nah, fuck Bill Gates.
Yeah, true. I believed the hype.
my kb came with mac keys too so i replaced win key with command, i hate it less
