This poorly designed table on the AWS website appears to show that neither tier of their new AI agent "Q" offers "Peace of Mind".

Maybe the table was designed by AI, too? "PRICE", "FEATURES" and "PEACE OF MIND" are supposed to be understood as section headers, but the design doesn't work because they didn't also put "price" on its own row and they pointlessly used alternate-row background colors. They could have used background cell colors to communicate which rows were section headers.

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

The bug report:

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.
