Have you met the vast majority of consumers? They're dipshits.

I don’t need a 7 row keyboard, 6 is enough

I don't care about the number of rows, specifically, it's the particular layout that 7-row keyboards have. The point of a 7-row keyboard is having the text nav keys arranged the same as a desktop keyboard, like so:

Versus this clusterfuck:

I use those nav keys constantly and completely by feel. The very specific placement they have on a 7-row is critical to productivity without having to constantly fuck around with the mouse/trackpoint/trackpad. 6-row keyboards are dogshit.

Oh really? I didn't know that. I've only driven Japanese RHD cars, they all had the indicator stalk on the right side of the wheel. The number of times I turned switched on the wipers before turning...

That's why I said "pointing to the driver's side door".

On LHD cars, the stalk is on the left. On RHD cars, the stalk is on the right.

Who knew Jason Sudeikis had such dramatic chops? I honestly forgot it was even him most of the time.

The number of automotive interfaces that we need to start strictly regulating because of trendy bullshit is getting fucking stupid.

A car door handle should be a mechanical device that's plainly obvious to anyone who's used a door handle, like, ever.

If phones are too dangerous to use while driving, then so is a fucking tablet glued to the dashboard.

I shouldn't need a camera to use reverse, just quit adding blind spots.

A steering wheel should be just that — a wheel.

Blinker control should be a stalk pointing to the driver's side door and self cancel.

And so on...

You think you're old, but are you creepy-ass CGI dancing baby old?

You go ahead a assert that all you want in a courtroom, see how far you get.

Governments should either be operating their own systems for this or, hell I don't know, why not just spin up a their ready-to-go Mastodon instance or something else in the fediverse not subject to the delirious whims of a petulant muskrat born with daddy's money?

In the same way that car fails when you deliberately drive it 100mph into a brick wall.

It's not self defense of immediate threat has ended. You can't take retributive action after the fact and call it self defense.
