When Windows suddenly starts mixing up keys for various applications.

  • In most countries, Windows by default has more than one language+keyboard combination installed

OS X Mountain Lion and up: Zoom content on the screen

Accessibiity -> Zoom -> enable checkbox” class=”size-medium” /> Preferences -> Accessibiity -> Zoom -> enable checkbox

TL;DR:

  1. System Prefrecences
  2. Accesibility
  3. Zoom
  4. Checkbox

Brand New Model F Keyboards – The Model M Predecessor: Mechanical Capacitive Buckling Spring Keyboards with NKRO

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/17

If it had function keys, I might have ordered it, but in case anyone is still interested: order before the end of July as they will likely not do a re-run of this unique project: [Archive.is] Brand New Model F Keyboards – The Model M Predecessor: Mechanical Capacitive Buckling Spring Keyboards with NKRO.

Model F quality is much better than Model M, which is way better than anything manufactured after that. Just compare the spring mechanisms below.
