Some people say they were born in the wrong decade. Today I learned I was born in the wrong century.

Well, your comment sure saved me

Could you share a link or explain further? I've had no idea but don't pay all that much attention to mobile in general.

I think consolidation creates many issues even if it isn't a full monopoly right now. Like making it easier for that full monopoly to show up later.

Oh no, the lights were just off. I never change it anyways. I'm not one to care about making the keyboard do anything dynamic.

I ran into the same issue when I uninstall the bloatware from asus in windows.

Honestly, asus just is a huge pain here and I'll definitely be avoiding them in the future.

It's not regular typing. It's primarily using the f-keys and numbers. Particularly for functions in my IDE.

Most of the time I'm using an external monitor and keyboard, so get very little practice on the built in one except when it's in less than ideal situations like flying.

When I get my next laptop, I'll be keeping Linux capabilities in mind. But that's years away. I'm not even sure where to start with reverse engineering the hardware, and also don't see myself spending months of my free time to make it work. I don't have that much free time and there are too many other things I'd like to be using that time for.

Oh, I don't need the keyboard to be pretty. Just lit up at all which seems to be effective locked by asus.

When I tried, I had put Ubuntu on it. That process seemed to go pretty good except the keyboard. Even got the WiFi working just fine. I may give fedora a try, but I'm way too lazy to switch back and forth between os's depending on how dark the room I'm in is.

I'd love to switch, but my laptop makes that quite hard and the computer still has years in it before I probably need to think about replacing it.

I've got an asus rog and sometimes need the backlight on the keyboard. As far as I could tell, no one had figured out how to do it without the windows only asus made software.

I wonder if it's the cost of data processing the inputs on servers. The ongoing costs of having software handle it on the client machine is close to $0.

Though it feels like democratizing the checks could work. Like, everyone within a match together is checked by everyone else in real time since they're all handling the objects moving around anyways.

Though there are probably many good reasons why that doesn't work or is extremely hard to implement consistently. The idea just came to me

Good to hear! I love that the path of exile community did similar.

I use them. I've found the speeds to be quite acceptable, plenty fast enough to play video games and download movies.

I started to learn some of that during the pandemic. With a good square, circular saw, and drill you can get started. I've gotten into building some relatively simple furniture now and am basically just using those tools still.
