Man, making all that effort to drink their burnt (not even over-roasted) coffee. I dare say I've had better instant coffee than theirs.

This is me. Saw a cool keycap set the other day, and before I knew it BOOM! New keyboard.

I only have 4 (working ones) so far, but that's still probably one too many. xD

I use the app/menu all the time in Excel.

Two keys, and they've actually been useful. This one, errrrrrrr, not so much. Copilot is barely baked, if you ask me,

Mine's set to the Application/Menu key on tap, and as a Fn modifier when held, so the WASD keys act as the arrows, Q and E as PageUp/Down, and R and F as Home and End. It's gotten so convenient I do that subconciously on keyboards that don't do that, and I end up with SSSSSSSSS or EEEEEEEEEEE.

That's just missing data, I don't have that issue at all.

Oh! They're the ways you can configure a key to interact with layers! The hover usually is quite self-explanatory. But yes, might want to do a search if some of them are not clear.

There's actually a lot you can do; If you ever feel like VIA can't let you do something, you can actually program strings directly with the "Any" key in the "Special" category. That lets you directly enter QMK keycodes, and you can set up pretty nifty functions if you want to. That's definitely a long read or video for another time though.

Keychron right? There should be four layers. 0 and 1 are for when the keyboard is set to Mac, 2 and 3 when it is set to Windows.

There is one thing I don’t understand on VIA, layers where when you hover over a button it explains it to you.

Eh, what do you mean? And isn't that good?

Yea, like, basically the complaints boil down to, why am I not being handheld throughout the process more?

For me I just need the general direction and what bus/train line direction to take.

Feels like people in general are getting worse at basic spatial awareness.

Basically, ~7cm width is about the limit it seems, because I assume manufacturers realised that's where most human hands are comfortable with holding a phone.

There were a few giant phones in the past, Sony Xperia's Ultra at 6.4 and the Xiaomi's Mi Max at 6.44" to 6.9". If given the 19:9 to 20:9 aspect ratios of today they'd be 7" phones (so again, don't compare phone sizes based solely on screen diagonal). As they're no longer made I assume they just didn't sell well enough.
