Exactly. You don’t need a wrist wrest for good ergonomics, but having the back of the keyboard elevated is the ergonomic problem. Why does anyone thing forcing your wrists to bend further back when you type is a good idea?

The 4000 used to be my keyboard of choice and the tan ergonomic ones before that going back to the late 1990s. I even had some of the cool wireless 7000 versions. But in the past few years, I found the newer ones were not durable. I’d wear two out (office and home) roughly every year. The new ones to replace those…

I’ve never used the palm rest, but I do wish more keyboards were sloped down instead of up (like if they had little feet in the front instead of the back). Even flipping down the feet (so it’s flat) made a huge difference for me, previously I had used the feet because I thought they made it look cooler.

What argument? Star Wars is silly space opera with magic and ghosts. It’d be appropriate for a Fantasy vs Science Fiction debate, but has no place here.

Yes - and if you’re competent enough at your job to know how to turn on ‘use spaces to do virtual tabs’, which any editor that any competent person is using can do, apparently you’re making more money.

Having your TAB key add literal spaces into the source code is just being selfish because it means that you think everybody should conform to your own particular visual preference (which is all that this shit boils down to in the first place).

Sure, but now the question becomes how many spaces does your IDE automatically convert one tab into? 2? 4? 6?

Same basic product made by two different products.

It literally sounds like some kind of chemical weapon, so I imagine it’s amazing and horrible. And, like warfare, I’m glad it exists far away from where I live.

Idea for a new federal law.

I keep repairing mine, for I haven’t found a worthy replacement. Also, my hands are fat as couch pillows and don’t fit in traditional keybs, contributing to my CTS. :(

Come on man. I expect this sort of crap journalism from Engadget (They posted almost the exact same article two days ago), but Gizmodo? Very disappointed.

Stop burying the argument in bullshit.

The reasoning in this article is so bad, so retrograde and knee-jerk.

So by the logic of this article, I guess white people are due for being enslaved by blacks for a couple hundred years until it all evens out.

Look, if someone wants to say “Men are Trash” I don’t really care- it’s fairly toothless... but you can’t say you are working against gender roles when your message to men is to “man up”...

I think this may be one of the very rare feminist articles that will be almost unanimously despised for typifying everything wrong with the worst (and least effective) forms of feminism. They pull out and showcase nearly every one of the worst moral and logical fallacies made in this space (men just generally deserve…

“Men are trash” is simply not the same thing as sexist attacks on women, because you don’t face the systemic oppression that makes sexist slurs so toxic

I feel like it’s missing something. Like some sort of Internet-enabled device to squeeze the bag for me at an optimal rate.

They were, once upon a time, super common on laptops. Most trackpads were terrible, and the nubbin, while not especially nimble, was at least consistent.
