10 finger touch typing without looking at the keyboard which is what I did, is very different from using two fat thumbs on a phone where you are forced to look (at least for me) in order to have any chance of hitting the right keys. On a PC I never look at the keys because they are qwerty anyway. I just use a software setting in my OS to change it to Dvorak so I must be able to type without looking. On a keyboard my fingers just know what to push intuitively so I only need to think of a letter or word and my fingers just types it from muscle memory. This is what I mean when I say 0% transferable skills because the same muscle memory does not work on a phone anyway.

    I guess that highly depends on how the AI or algorithm is working and how it learned. If it uses rhythm and distance in time space between strokes along a word prediction enging matching rythm with words, Dvorak will throw it completely off, since the rhythm is changed completely. My guess is you'll need to train it seperatly on dvoark for it to have any chance of working.

    Basically I learned to completely touch type without looking at the keyboard so the stickers were just there for training and as they wore out over the following months I basically didn't need them ever again. Numbers and symbols stay in place except a few where the Danish æøå are placed but I just memorized those...

    I just use a standard keyboard and have a shortcut to change between normal qwerty and dvoark. Qwerty is just for whenever someone needs to borrow my PC for a while. I can still write qwerty in a pinch but it's as slow/fast as its always been and I have to look at the keyboard while typing.

    My typing was really slow on qwerty to begin with and I found it super awkward when trying to learn it. I really did try but gave up multiple times.

    One day I just decided enough was enough and wanted to start from scratch. I added stickers to all my keys for dworark and used a training program (cannot remember what, but it was old school and worked great going step by step) and during my summer vacation one year I just sat in my hammock relaxing and just kept training with the program. After two weeks I was fast enough to write to friends in chats without it taking ages (still slow af.) after about a month I was faster than qwerty and have never looked back since. Dvoark is for me much more comfortable and intuitive for my fingers. Linux has exelent support for dvoark out of the box. Windows not so much for other than english.

    Dont bother changing your smart phone keyboard too. It has 0% transferable skills or benefits and just so confusing.

    i've been looking for those settings, but i don't think the laptop supports anything but s2idle/modern standby.... if you know how to enable S3 sleep on this laptop id love to know.

    I consistently have abysmal sleep battery consumption on my Framework 13. How can I improve this. I'm so sad my laptop is constantly out of battery whenever i grab it.

    Anyone knows how to fix this? It's been a problem for the entire year I had the pc now. I've been waiting for firmware updates to hopefully fix it, but nothing has changed for the past year and i feel it's only gotten worse.

    Adafruit sende fra USA så det bliver åndsvagt dyrt. Digikey har den også men koster 158 kr i forsendelse samt de tager overpris for produktet selv så for 2 STK bliver det 250 kr .... Den koster ca 18 kr på aliexpress

    Så længe jeg stadig har et sted at købe mine små dumme elektronik dimser... Står og skal bruge en dims som død og pine kun kan købes på aliexpress. Ville ønske der var bedre alternativer i EU.

    Det er en PCM5102A I2S, jeg skal bruge til en fornuftigt pris hvis nogen er nysgerrig.

    Anyone that can recommend a high quality repairable automatic soap dispensor I can use in the kitchen for dishsoap. It should be automatic such that when i put the brush or sponge under it, it gives a small dose of soap.

    I have looked at the simplehuman one, but after watching a video on how to replace the battery I just cannot with good conscious buy it. It is literally designed to not be opened.

    I know any pump like this will not last me a lifetime, but I want something that last for as long as possible.

    As the title hints, it should be available in EU. Any recommendations i can find online and on reddit are all just useless amazon products and listings of all amazon products. It must be possible to find something better and in EU.

    Looking forward to hear if anyone knows about a good product.

     

    Hi everyone. Sorry for a long post, but I'm looking for various input related to buying a camera, so feel free to just comment on any small bit of it if you feel like it. I don't expect answers to it all, but I'm just so exited to get back into photography after a long break.

    The trigger for reviving my passion is that I'm planning a trip to Tokyo this fall 2026. I want to buy a really good camera for the trip to capture everything and finally get back into taking good photos.

    I used to own a DSLR Nikon D5200 back in 2013, but over the years I completely stopped using it because it was just too big and bulky to carry so i sold it 2 years ago after not using it for 4 years before that.

    Priorities

    That's why i for this trip I want something that is much more compact and cameras have come a long way since 2013. My absolute top priority is size. If the camera isn't small and easy to carry, I know that I just simply won't use it enough. Ideally it should almost as easy to bring as my phone.

    My next few priorities after size are as follows.

    1. Interchangeable lenses
    2. Excellent video capabilities
    3. Good low light performance
    4. 20-55 mm ish standard lens option to get started
    5. Everything else just needs to be reasonably well balanced
    6. An option for 35mm pancake lens for super compact mode. This is a nice to have addition and the price of it is on top of my budget mentioned below.
    7. Full frame is nice, but i also have to be realistic if i want a super compact body.

    What I mean about wanting a camera that is reasonable well balanced is that most cameras are in my opinion pretty good these days so I'll listen to your recommendations to maximize a balanced performance within my budget. I was happy with the performance of my D5200 so it's a good benchmark and should be easy to beat i think.

    Where to buy and budget

    I consider buying a camera when i first get to Tokyo since prices seems a bit lower there but i don't know for sure yet if that is a good idea so if you have experience there I'd love to hear.

    My budget is around 200,000 yen (~1100€) including a decent starter lens. Maybe a bit more if needed or for an additional lens option.

    Also if anyone knows of special deals, good Japan-only bundles, or used gear markets that i should consider then I'd love to hear, but it should be pretty easy to get on the first day in Tokyo if it's not the same price here in EU anyway.

    Additional info:

    For the trip we currently just have our phones which are an iPhone 16 Pro and a Google Pixel 5a 5G that both take pretty decent casual photos. The camera I'm looking for doesn’t need to replace that, but needs to offer significantly better image and video quality.

    I really liked the interface on my Nikon and from what I've tried so far, I’m not a big fan of Canon’s interface. No idea about olympus, panasonic etc. never tried them.

    Other questions

    Does anyone know if there are any language limitations in the camera firmware when buying in Japan? (e.g., Japanese-only menus) ore are there any other region-locked features or restrictions compared to EU models?

    I hope to get some input to find the right camera. There are so many options and i feel like it's easy to go waaay over budget for not that much more.
