What would be an example of that combination?

Something like Logitech K580. The keys are a bit tight with each other, but they have almost all those keys independently.

I like your comment. Reasonable feedback to recommend logitech K650 fits nicely into my needs. Going to explore if there are more choice just like this keyboard.

Thanks for your insight. Gonna avoid the G keys Logitech keyboard.

Most keyboard reviews are about gaming. Can any of you recommend a good keyboard for coding/programming?

Here's some criteria for selecting the keyboard:

  • Comfortable keys, easy to click and write coding quickly
  • Must be a bluetooth keyboard
  • Prefer using replaceable batteries instead of charging port
  • Full keyboard keys including function keys, arrow keys and numpad
  • Size can be compact or full-sized
  • Doesn't matter if back-lit or not
  • Doesn't matter if loud or quiet clicks
  • Budget around USD 50

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don't have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there's many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.

So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?

Facebook being the most expensive property, still valid to this day. Not true for Twitter anymore though.

Happened to me too. Who's the dumb government vendor doing these applications?

You wouldn't know if they hash it or not.

This is a rant about dumb password policies enforced by some websites or apps. If you see these password rules forced to you, try to stay away if possible.

Can't use special characters, or use a pre-defined special characters only

Are you storing the password in plaintext that your database will break when have special characters?

Password can't be longer than X characters

Most probably storing the password in plaintext and their database column is limited to those characters limit.

Password expire every X months, without notice, suddenly can't login. Reset it and can't use the last 5 passwords

They store your previous passwords, either encrypted or plaintext.

Agreed that Lemmy would be attractive to the general mass if we have more of non-tech communities. Do you know any?

We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!

I think if you can troubleshoot your own built PC, that's pretty much a tech person, even though you can't code.

I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.
