@NudelnAlDente @neil should really ask them to describe the entire menu, seeing as they can't actually provide you with a physical one... FFS

@StarkRG @fesshole I've been told off by a past manager for being particular with the words I'm using, but in a technical field those words have proper meanings, so being unambiguous is important

@stuart yeah the reporting in it is terrible, mostly because catchy headlines are the way of doing news

@InsertUser @hazelweakly I tried at one point as work accidentally got a US layout, but I couldn't do it. Thankfully Dell didn't argue and just sent a replacement laptop

@InsertUser @hazelweakly right but it's also my 36 years of muscle memory so I really can't change

@hazelweakly obviously regionally yes, but why was there ever an ISO and an ANSI (I get optimised things like dvorak, and realise why we're qwerty, but moving just symbols around seems odd, and especially painful when the number of keys changes as software remapping becomes impossible then)

@hazelweakly feel like I have to compare a UK layout now too.
" and @ are in different locations along with ~`
I wonder if missing § is why they changed the layout

@hazelweakly interestingly your second one is much closer to UK layout. Why are there even 2 layouts?

@hazelweakly and the key to the left of "1". Who's that for? I've never used those symbols (tbf I'm not sure they're even on a UK layout keyboard)

@ben @mainframed767 quite! they also watch the first million units get produced very carefully, and QA is still being done on the output

@ben @mainframed767 @arstechnica no that's the point. You don't ever read the code

@mainframed767 @arstechnica the term is "dark coding" and apparently it's a good thing to reach level 5 in Dan Shapiro's framework where the developer only does specs.
It sounds terrifying to me...
