And when you wake up, let me know what you think his good points were.

I can't. I haven't slept well in 3 nights now. My fucking back is killing me.

 

But I'm ashamed to say that I agreed with most of what he said, but prefacing that again, saying that I only know about Islam and muslims from the news. And I think we can both agree, you only see the bad stuff there.

 

I don't personally know anyone who follows that religion, and I haven't had them come threaten me. So take that for what it's worth. Not much :-/

They're not called pound tags.

Dude, if you think our keyboard is weird (which it isn't) you should check out a German or French keyboard. They have some letters in the wrong a different place!

On a related note, I only recently realised that UK Macs (or at least MacBooks) basically have a US keyboard layout but with a £ instead of a #. Apple's disrespect for our ways displeases me even more than their propensity to manufacture overpriced fashion items for sheep.

I dislike how they also have an entirely useless § key, too. I remapped mine to #.

<sigh>

I'm all for consistency, but obtusifying an established (albeit localised) standard just smacks of... well, the kind of thing Apple does, I guess, and it's not like Macs are priced such that they need to save a few pennies by using the same physical chassis across territories.

The weird keyboard thing was a driving factor in my spending more than I could have done (if I'd bought from the US) on a new laptop. Although Kobalt had clearly been taking lessons in irony when they then offered to install just about any keyboard layout on the planet anyway. I stuck with UK.

Have you remapped the right mouse button to anything? Oh, right.

The fact that Apple have bothered to support right-button interactions on third-party mice is a quiet admission that they should have put one on in the first place.

Apple's own mice and trackpads have had a right-click for some years now in fact. Took them too long, but they got there.

Not all of them, unless it's very recent. I got a Macbook a few years ago that doesn't have a right-click, just multitouch which is a pain in the hole.

Also, I can't think of a signature, any ideas?

I find the multitouch right-click is much easier if you enable the 'tap to click' option. Having to actually press down on the pad makes it tricky to get right.

I don't have to press down the pad to click, there's a separate button for that. The problem I have is that the pad is pretty unresponsive as to whether two fingers are touching it or not, so many right-clicks become left-clicks which is particularly bad since I tend do a lot of right-click dragging.

Also, I can't think of a signature, any ideas?

I watch a lot of Pat. I agree with some of what he says, but I don't quite a bit.

 

I watch a lot of shit on youtube. Started watching this last night and found it interesting so far:
