Why is there a Win-Lock option? I get Caps Lock and Fn-Lock but is there any other reason besides saving a finger for the all-important Win-Ctrl-Alt-Shift-L shortcut to open LinkedIn? /s
Its on gaming laptops so when you are playing, you dont accidentally open windows menu
Oh, so it does the reverse of what I thought
And soon, new laptops will have a second forced stupid Microsoft key. The copilot key.
Not even joking.
They’re on some “AI” laptop for a while now
@ColdWater that and probably the Microsoft root certificate stored in your motherboard’s firmware
Also e.g. the lobbying around ACPI breaking suspend to ram sometimes. Funny little Bill Gates quote on that:
One thing I find myself wondering about is whether we shouldn’t try and make the “ACPI” extensions somehow Windows specific. It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me. Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something related to this.
The antitrust war was in full effect when he said that. Gates is a good guy now, but he was a ruthless pos as head of MS.

I don’t know what I do to keyboards when I use them for a really long time, but I have the exact same laptop frame and keyboard and most modifier keys are unrecognizable and half of the WASD keys are rarely used keys because I fucked up the keycaps while cleaning and I got other keys off the keyboard in place of them. So anyways, my Windows key is abused beyond recognition and you can’t tell it was a Windows key.
Why are you going right so much more than left
I mean, if you think about it you tend to go right in 2d games, so I’m guessing he’s a fan
My bad, didn’t explain it well in my initial comment
I broke my A and S keys when cleaning: because the WASD keys on these keyboards are transparent, I could see all the hairs or dirt under them and once every 4 months let’s say, I was pulling them off
And one day they didn’t wanna reliably clip back in place anymore
So now I have Right Ctrl on A and Right FN on S to replace the keycaps
So, they’re basically newer keys in there, and also they are not transparent like A and S were
For anyone interested, this is a tuxedo laptop
Super key? That’s not Window’s specfic, it’s just a logo.
