  1. Exactly. and I would suggest to let the user select these sticky or not. Perhaps with some easy swap between the two states. Or even an automode, that detect if it is still and horizontal. If so it is likely to be on a table, and thus sticky is not needed... But I would happily settle with some plain key-combo to switch sticky/non-sticky.
  2. Just saw that now even aPple let people repair their devices at partly independent repair shops https://www.gsmarena.com/apple_will_finally_let_you_repair_your_outofwarranty_iphone_at_independent_shops-news-38936.php Though they still need to be 'approved' by aPple... so the independence should be taken with a truck load of salt.
  3. I'm also eagerly awaiting to see how some more finished keyboard software will be. I have only tried the pre-production thing, it is really limited in accessing anything interesting outside the most basic letters and a few symbols. But they must have put the Alt, Ctrl, Sym keys there for a reason, so I guess we just have to wait and see.... I hope we can soon have some information on the files controlling stuff, so we can make it fully customizable, And hopefully it can be altered without rooting, I have tried to ask for info on that since spring, and has optimistically started a minor pro
  4. It is inaccurately just called microSD, see e.g. this for details. But I guess that if you insert an old microSD-card it will work too.
  5. https://www.livechatinc.com/typing-speed-test/ NOTE that this is language dependent, as the mean word length varies substantially between languages. see e.g. http://www.ravi.io/language-word-lengths and https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-longest-and-shortest-languages-in-terms-of-average-length-of-words
  6. Well it was with 'thinned' colour as unimportant, in this
  7. As I wrote earlier, adhesive remains from a (failed) experiment I did. It is pure Android. Just the soft-key, so if the app used are not in full screen mode, you got one (or more) softkeys in the bar
  8. Sorry guys, I'm away for a few days, and asked the staff to handle stuff
  9. I forgot to post an image of the elastic one mounted, but can be found in this thread (not on final unit though)
  10. Yes, And could have been better if I had applied with more care, as you can see with the speaker and camera holes. For other readers: Some cheap elastic ones from aliexpress discussed over here,
  11. I think it can be achieved as already described by others, but I'm pretty sure this is a render though, as I (with this angle) would have expected slight distortions at the curved top edge. And I do not think you can make the splitter bar that thin either. Here is an example (outside, a nice sunny day today), this is a preproduction unit, but doubt that it matters in this context. Here with the Android font size set to "Large" and "Small" (Both with "Display size" set to "Small") - browsers at default. And yes you guessed who that bald guy disturbing the image is...

  12. I certainly agree that the moderation issues are far worse than the design issues.
  13. I could be related to the moderation that they are 'locked', but not sure. Before that I believe people were allowed to edit for a limited period. [Rant] And I certainly agree that the fonts are not at all important in this forum, from my perspective it was a more general rant as these crazy designs appear all over the net. I think it is related to the plaque of "material design", that would have made sense on 16 colour CGA displays decades back, but are just outright stupid today, I simply can not find a single benefit. Well except that the informationless displays might allow screenshots
  14. Could be worth a try, but seems rather silly to have to tweak the client side for readability IHMO
  15. Actually you DO have it, look e.g on that last “aeiovgx” in your image, and how the top of the v and the x is below the g (as is the i less the dot)
  16. You can not even imagine how tired I am of this moderation mess!!! Have suggested several things, and if nothing happens very very soon I'll simply give up approving, and let the staff do it. I'm so tired of wasting my time doing none-constructive work here... It was supossed to be temporary until they found a solution, and have lasted 1½ month now!!! To approve posts in a thread I need to click approve, wait, repeat for all pending in same thread, make a dummy-comment, wait, bin the dummy, wait, delete the dummy, wait, and go on to the next thread.... I can not even at a central place see wh
  17. Yeah, as abielins pointed out (you were both was waiting for moderation, sorry) it is on low DPI only, so on mobiles (that generally got higher dpi) it looks ok.
  18. So are you saying that I should upgrade my 43" 4K display to one that is at the least 8K to use this forum? Sounds like a really well chosen font then... *LOL* But on a more serious note you sure got a point! If I ask FireFox to scale to 150%, the font looks decent. Though of course absurdly huge. (An of course this does not work as a workaround for the other design issues)
  19. These 'fancy' fonts are not my cup of tea either. Sure they can be used for local effects like in a birthday invite, but for general texts.... YIKES! But I'm old, and to me Function is key....
  20. Yeah, but it does not say that we can make new pre-orders. It only talks about "existing pre-orders" and "new orders". But confusingly clicking Buy, they still call it "pre-orders", but as you only seem to be allowed to complete those with a pay (thus making it an order). I suspect it is simply a textual slip. (I have already pointed out this to the staff, and I hope they will either allow for new pre-orders or change the texts)
  21. I wonder if they actually told us this: or it is just our own assumptions/deductions/hopes? I have tried to browse ttrough the comments and haven't found this. What they HAVE told us is that we can hold already existing pre-order open, at the pre-order price, without placing a full order. But if we can not make new pre-orders it means that those already paid can not go back and wait for a possible Scandinavian layout if they would like to, but would have to just cancel and buy for the new price IF a Scandinavian layout will become available. I hope we can have an official comment on
  22. It seems those making the forum have forgotten that the slogan is "Function is key", and NOT "Design is key"... I'm so sick and tired by this pest all over the computer world (not just here), that things has to be over-designed and under-productive. It is all over, from colours hard to separate, lacking borders/separation, to over simplified icons completely loosing their original relation to the physical object they are supposed to represent... The rubber stamp top right is a typical example, though it is slightly better than the sad Cyclop smliey used by MS....
  23. Please try again. I just did, as described above - but could be my privileges that (by a bug) allows me to do so.
