Does anyone happen to know how to get #RenderDoc to work on #Wayland? I have a very broken program I'm trying to update to newer libraries and all of the rendering code looks correct.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of, I really don't like using the braces for format strings but I guess I'll have to.

I like that the japanese cars beep in the cabin when you put them in reverse.

I do legitimately use it for entering numbers a lot, I find it much nicer to use than the number row.
Wouldn't the missing F row require an additional modifier key? If you have something like ctrl+shift+F6 you'd need ctrl+shift+fn?+6? for it.

There's stuff in the browser and IDEs that use the numpad, some of the IDE things I can think of have two modifier keys already.

I'm honestly not sure of the entire list, I don't think about them. A bunch of IDE stuff, window management, creating a few processes, text editing stuff, probably a lot more.

That's funky. With all of the different keyboard shortcuts I use I'm not sure how well having to press even more keys for actions would work.

How is that usable? I see some 80%s around and it's already missing so many keys.

Years of development still no use case found for a keyboard with fewer than 104 keys.

I meant with the Type-C thing. My thought for non-technical reasons was maybe it was marketing saving faster transfer rates for another device generation for some reason.

Huh, I feel like there might be a technical reason for this? How high do the iPhones and iPads go?

A lot of cables and connectors tend to be low quality too.

Would you mind sharing a little more about how these work? Sounds interesting.
