  1. Same here. I do not think we can map the simple scancodes to combined codes. Only the other way round. That is I do not think we can fake it as say Ctrl+Alt+Fn+Sh+F5 and I assume there is a principal difference in mapping to a keycode and a char (otherwise they could just use two obscure unicode chars)
  2. When I try with the App KeyEvent, I do not see neither make or break codes of fn. doing open and close. Do you? I think it will send a single plain keycode only, and I tried to find some rather unlikely to be used. Though of course in theory some app doing remote desktop might want those two too .... But I guess that could be said for any of them...
  3. It is great if we can this easily map a key to restore backlight. And I agree that we should suggest them to use another set of keycodes, less likely to be interesting. Maybe KEYCODE_MEDIA_CLOSE and KEYCODE_MEDIA_EJECT could make some sort of sense, and are less likely to be interesting than F5/F6.
  4. And what about the date line then? That would make a whole days difference for some that paid almost at the same time... There are no easy formula to try to compensate. But since they even try, I guess that indicates that the 'cut' lies around the days they sent out the mails, around Aug 1. I mean if the cut was say a month later they would hardly bother trying to adjust.
  5. I think the implied question was why that would prevent the user from taking photos?
  6. I got the Sugru I ordered today, and started experimenting with a car key, where the rubber has vanished over the last twenty years. For some years I have used it wrapped in fibre-tape, and tied up with a strip - I will spare you the image of that.... Removing that and here is the key next to one that is still pristine: (To please @abielins and to get the Sugru to stick better I tried to clean it with some spirits, but some paper fibres stuck, please forgive...) I then took a small package of the Sugru And tried to shape a new key-head. It is much like clay to work with. I
  7. Well even if we only want to shift a few, we would still like them aligned, so the sheet make sense. But It could also be making a standard qwerty on a shifted one, and that would change a lot of keys - though it perhaps would more sense in starting that from qwertZ, where most are correct from the begining.
  8. Well I guess the best thing would be a transparent ark with mild adhesive on the print size (think like a large piece of writing tape) with some guide-marks, so all labels can be applied in one go, and in parallel. And then most likely one by one should be pressed firm in place by the heat of a finger. As the keys are not flat-topped, labels are not easy, but perhaps some suitable flexible material, that gets shapeable by the heat of a finger, can do the trick.
  9. Well the lower of the two above was take all the way back in May, and thus with the Pre-production unit. So was already quite good that early. 😁
  10. I was thinking images OF and BY a Pro1 😂😁 But I got images of the dog of course Here one from his ten year birthday (a bit cropped and reduced)Let me know If I should send the original. And here one from May, where the rascal had stolen the ball thrower (also reduced)
  11. I better de-dust it first then, to not to anger @abielins 😇😜
  12. So to summarise: strictly reading there will be about 18% left as @jlavi calculated, if we put a pessimistic (mis?)interpretation 30%. At the least that give us a range of what is left as what Erik called "The remaining, relatively small percentage of unshipped, mostly very recent orders ". 🙂
  13. Well when 70% are to be served, that will mean that ALL countries that has orders would be on the list. Even if only one order. With normal rounding 70% of 1 rounded would be one.
  14. Well we could academically construct scenarios where this would not be fair. Say a country were all orders were paid yesterday, then 70% of those.... Or the opposite a country with only very early payers... Of course those are very unlikely, unless we are talking countries with extremely few orders, and if so it will affect only marginally seen from a broader perspective.
  15. Well if you assume that there in this country are "super early" (almost) only, And those are not IGG backers, well then it does sound like around a fifth will have to wait. On the other hand for countries where all were super late to order, here some seems to be included. And no, I have no idea why they are doing it per country. A GUESS could be an attempt to compensate the US that did not get the ones they ought to in the first batch??? Erik explained on the why, before I submitted, see above.
  16. Unfortunately the images in the listing are grossly faked - or should we be kind and say not what they sent.... And to make things worse the cables do not do charging (well they technically do transfer 50mA). I ordered two from different sellers and they both arrived today with the same issue. Tried three chargers, And both the Pro1s, and the various rotation-options so just stay away from these cables! (The labels said "YXF135586_1" and "T32503C" on both, they are produced half a year apart, so not just a bad batch)
  17. Nice idea. And at the least in principle it should be possible to scrape off the black on the relevant keys, so backlight could work too, if the labels had the letters transparent, and the black main part intransparent. Could be a nice and fairly inexpensive alternative to dedicated prints. On the preproduction unit the underscore was very short, and I scraped a bit to extend it, and though it could have been done with more accuracy it works.
  18. Please try to understand, this is NOT about disabling the fingerprint sensor, but to only have it active when the display is on, that is a press on the power button is needed first.
  19. The problem is there are no "other side" here.... But we are getting terrible off topic, my bad. Sorry.
  20. Easy answer: We've gone Nazis! 20% voted on a crypto-nazist party. on second to previous election. Last time the crypto-nazists was 'down' to around 10%, but unfortunately not because the voters got wiser, but because all the classic parties more or less adopted the racism and xenophobia in their policy...
  21. Luckily it is not ONLY up to the individual to abide to the law in all countries. There might well be legislation requiring a device to have limitations build in. Just as certain devices are not allowed to be sold without special permits. (e.g. lethal weapon in many countries). E.g. in Denmark the Scooters sold have to have the maximum speed capped. Of course you are still not allowed to exceed the speed limits for the model say down hill, that part is the users responsibility. I believe there is an EU legislation that require phones to not go above a certain volume without expl
  22. If you already got a flat-L shaped PD cable, then it might be a tolerable solution with a straight adapter (see drop down) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283708836817
  23. Ah I see. This looks like it might be charge only, not sure: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143438556436 ADD: Almost certainly NOT 20 pin, see this from the listing.
  24. Should not be that hard, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202771280351 Just did an ebay search for pd magnetic data cable
  25. I would be a bit worried on using SD for SWAP, as an SD card got a limited number of writes. Not an extremely low number, but if the swap is needed, it is likely to be quite active. At the least is should be something to be very aware of when choosing the particular SD-card model to use.
