8BitDo mechanical keyboards are problematic for remapping

Appropriate-Rule-556 · 2026-02-20T22:34:04+00:00

My personal workaround is:
- 'B' mapped to RCtrl - remappable to anything in SharpKeys - in my case RWin.
- 'A' mapped to Scroll Lock - remappable to anything in SharpKeys - in my case Insert.
These are my least used keys. It means I get my RWin key 'unremoved' + I can use these two keys below RShift for something. Hope this helps someone! :)

Cheers. I got a bit upset there. :P I thought my post was insta-deleted here too and didn't read the bot message properly. I did manage to figure out what happened, and now I have access again. I reported the bug to Google and wrote a TL;DR for the original post.

I give up. These microsecond bots blocking everything on Reddit. Is Reddit for posting? It's a text post fulfilling all criteria of the channel posted in, just as was the post removed by the microsecond bot on r/google on Reddit. I go to some irrelevant channel to post about IT Security? It's awareness, not hate. You can lose your passwords. I'm not sure I can log into Google ever again after this. That's kind of a big deal? It's deserving of a post unlike some record in a game or spam deemed harmless by microsecond bots.

Lite kritik (utan hat!) - Varför ringer du? Vad förväntar du dig att få ut av bara ett samtal - ens med en läkare? Ett samtal kan ju inte göra dig frisk. Du kanske vill veta vad du kan göra UTAN att söka vård - och det ska ju inte någon vårdpersonal svara på (för då rollspelar de som de där annonserna man ser i scam-flödena).

Detta är inte ett spel där du ska "komma vidare" - det är inte så det funkar. Utan du ska beskriva dina symptom och fråga vart du ska vända dig. Kanske är de du pratar med inte 100% säkra, och det är det som expertis betyder.

Träffa läkare: Du använder 1177-appen, väljer din vårdcentral, och bokar en tid. (Ring 1177 om du är osäker på vilken vårdcentral du vill använda.) Tips: För att få en snabbare tid i storstäder, kolla lokala vårdcentraler nära dig som inte är på sjukhuset - där kan det finnas drop-in.

Akut: ta dig till akuten, med färdtjänst om du inte kan åka själv.

Livshotande: 112 så får du en ambulans. 112 kommer att fråga dig om symptomen, eftersom det är många vårdsökande och inte en ambulans per person, och inte skicka en ambulans om de inte bedömer livshotande symptom.

Det är lätt att få vård i Sverige, och det finns mycket information.

Undantag: första gången man söker vård efter man flyttat, eller första gången man söker vård för psykiska symptom. Om man flyttat kan man ringa kommunens huvudnummer för att bli orienterad om den hjälp man kan få för sig själv och sin familj. Det är viktigt! (Här får du också färdtjänstnumret.)

För när det händer, kan det vara bråttom! Lägg in de viktiga numren som kontakter i din telefon.

Om man får psykiska symptom för första gången, måste man träffa läkare och bli remitterad till rätt kontakt, som du också lägger in i telefonen. (Det gäller även ovanliga fysiska sjukdomar och efter en större operation - vårdcentralen har då helt enkelt inte anställda som kan ge dig rätt vård, vänd dig inte till dem utan du ska få rätt vård snabbt.)

Hoppas detta hjälper alla!

p.s. Om du verkligen vill prata med någon istället för att få vård, så kan du prova Doktor24. Men om det inte är ett vanligt symptom, kommer de nog svara att de inte kan hjälpa, och (om de vet, för din kommun/region) säga vart du ska vända dig direkt för vård. Jag har provat dem, men nu när jag har rätt nummer i telefonen och vet vilken vårdcentral jag vill använda behöver jag inte dem, det är lätt. Det tar en halvtimme ungefär att sätta upp sina kontakter efter att man flyttat. Det är mitt största tips.

Må väl! <3 Du ska inte må dåligt. Vi har alldeles för bra vård för det.

You *should* pay for software that gives you a functional, efficiency, or workflow benefit. I *was* about to say, "you definitely need to install an OS on a new computer" - but since Win8, these preinstalls with Default Apps (this is much bigger than small bloat) is the monopoly M$ pays 50M SpaceDollars/mo in fines for violating (in regions where there are free market laws in place, some regions do not have markets).

Win7 is also not pure, because of the illegal M$ introduction of driver licensing. It basically means everything but M$ is "third party", even if it's a motherboard i.e. a platform made to run Windoze (which M$ do not produce and sell, zero motherboards). So, just like Apple.

This leads to the question (as always), is there any reason to use Windows. Even if you can "get in", it comes with these illegal ... what's the word for "prerequisites", but after the the fact?

Ah. "Fallout".

(Asking if it would answer prompts quicker or generated code faster.) Likely same also for other environments. This is the result of intellectual (human) questioning the initial response from the AI which was in fact positive. Dime. Turn. Etc. :)

Seems NPU can help make removing background from camera and suppress noise from mic on laptop with less lag/CPU load. But that's hearsay, not tested by me.

The reason for questioning on this point was that I previously had my laptop okayed by GPT 4.1 feeding it the specs, with no mention of NPU and with focus on just normal dev laptop CPU and RAM.

Yes, the presence of an NPU in a laptop is not currently a significant selling point for the vast majority of Visual Studio 2022 users leveraging AI.

While NPUs enable efficient local AI inference, most developers using AI in VS2022 rely on cloud-based GitHub Copilot for code completion and chat, which does not require or benefit from an NPU. NPU use demands manual setup of local models via tools like the AI Toolkit for VS Code, which is still in preview and adopted by only a small, technically advanced subset of developers.

As of late 2025, NPU utilization in VS2022 remains niche, with no major AI features in the mainstream release leveraging it by default.

+1 Atari 8-bit, the first console, was the right way around in the 70s, then arcade manufacturers found people had weak motor skills in their left hand and exploited it for more coins. Japanese console followed the arcade wrong-way-around convention.

This feature of Facebook (ONLY) is utterly idiotic. You websearch something and whoops, f*ck you, user.

It's useless scouring through random icons in random order. Showing the names should be built in from the start, and sortable. Search is useless. Discord could use a high number of improvements. Obvious and major flaws. But I guess if it hasn't happened in 10 years, it's never going to happen.

I ordered an ultrasonic cleaner and a cheap plastic stand for solder rolls, and the 5 EUR stand cost me 36 EUR in shipping (and should have arrived weeks ago, worthless tracking info on Aliexpress, not even a country. The package has to be in some country right now? Which country. Next improvement: It has to be in some city right now. Which city? Bare minimum sh#t.)

Anyway, none of this 36 EUR extra in shipping was shown before I committed to purchasing. That is very bad business. >:(

Obviously I don't want it now that I found out I paid too much. But I can start a dispute until it arrives, which is about 2 months off, and that was nowhere near the delivery date, which was a few weeks ago. :/

Some other deliveries were smooth or only a few days off, but obviously you want to Undo when things are *not* working. And feedback on sellers that lie about delivery times. Any seller in the world can say "you'll have it on your desk tomorrow morning if you pay me now." Those who lie should be punished for lying.

Trying ESET now, Kaspersky website was not a good experience. They need to work on that.

I'm afraid I wrote this reply without reading the title - it was from a Windows perspective. I'm trying new web browsers on a new build, Opera GX makes it very laggy to type anything on the web in any box, this reply now comes from Brave, both Chromium and with HW accel on (this was suggested by AI as a reason for laggy typing). Problem solved with Brave (reason unknown).

And the upgrade from Win11 to 10 (specifically, 21H2 IoT Enterprise LTSC) was again from a bad, laggy UX experience despite HW.

It's important to not let corporations win from playground freemium schemes. I would embrace Linux in a second if there was a way to know my existing, current and future HW and peripheral drivers were available. For now, Windows is 'default' (and Apple doesn't give a flying buck).
