Are you using the working keys on the builtin keyboard?

It would be great to find a software solution.

A hardware solution would be to unplug the keyboard if you are always using an external keyboard. As long as it will bolt with the internal keyboard unplugged.

Plus, the other person's suggestion to replace the keyboard.

Kinda risky, but you could also see if you can unsolder or cut the track to that specific broken key. There is the risk of completely borking the keyboard, though.

The last time I considered buying anything from HP was, like, 2001.

Others with lower prices innovated.

Then when HP lowered prices, it was because they loaded up with 3rd party subscription programs pre-installed, went with brittle parts that were expensive to fix, systems were slow from bad drivers, and hid repair info. I think they were the first to DRM their printer cartridges. I think they were the first to start ink subscriptions.

No way I'd own anything from HP.

Protect yourself, Canada. Treat Trump as hostile.

You know how they say that the internet is a series of tubes? We used to think that was just a funny old man. Turns out, it is the literal truth. The internet is made up of SVG files!

No good story has ever started with, "I ate a bag of oreos over the course of a whole day. "

Lol. Guess you're just cursed. Lol. I have multiple styles, wired and wireless, and work perfectly on multiple computers. Lol.

Nice job knowing the Alt key trick on Windows!

I really like Steelseries. Pick whichever fits your budget for the features you want. I've even bought used ones and they've been great.

I changed the foam ear pads to leatherette pads for a little better sound isolation.

Sounds like there was something wrong with your audio jack. I've had stellar comments about all of my Steelseries.

I keep telling myself to donate to them, but I still haven't.

If you ever see little kids with different skin tones playing together, they are clearly not bothered by skin color, and it has no bearing on their play. The racism in America is completely learned. It is not natural. Sometimes consciously, but many times unconsciously.

Loosely similar is how men in most places are fine walking around alone at night. While women consciously try to move in groups, even during the daytime. Many men have no idea how different it is for many women.

It happened for so long, at all levels of society, that it is still affecting us today. It has shaped the cities we currently live in. It has shaped our language. It has shaped our laws.

The first girl Black girl to go to a school that was all white is only 71 years old. And that was barely the start of the end of segregation.

A bad example, because I'm only American, but anyone in the European Union could move anywhere in the European Union. Some places just have depressing weather, or are very isolated. But it would still take a great effort for the people who even want to move to actually move.

Keeping the device turned on while the airplane is ascending and descending.

If you want to cost a company money, calling and talking to a person is a big expense for any company.

Right. Purchasing new sends money to the ultra rich somewhere in the world.

Yes, used is the way to go to be the most socially and anti-capitalist conscious.

It gets awkward, almost always, about 2 longrows after the hippodust. Sometimes you can go an extra towelspot.

AI can only respond with patterns based on what it has seen before. To AI, human language has even less sense than those math problems that draw some shapes and ask you what is the next shape in the pattern.

AI can't think. It only seem patterns and percentages.

Ask it to tell a story about a dog, and it will because it has seen that before. Ask it to tell a story about the 6-legged beings on Pluto and it makes a super generic and short story and just pastes in "6-legged being," because it has never seen any stories like that. It can't imagine a new set of circumstances.

"Because it's been happening..." Is not even an argument. It's a super lazy answer that shows a complete lack of effort.

Was this same person sitting in a climate controlled building? Did this person eat food they gathered that morning? Does this person do something besides sleep after the sun sets?

Isn’t it a volatile time to invest in something that could have very major price swings?
