Help me, fediverse!
Earlier today some keys on my HP Envy laptop, Windows 10, pretty much quit working. The F12, 9, O, L and . keys (so a stripe down the kbd). They aren't totally dead, maybe one in 20 key presses register. Although shifted, they don't work at all.
BUT ... they all work just fine in the BIOS, and pass the diagnostic test with flying colors.
I've reinstalled the keyboard driver, and done a system restore.
I am baffled.

@cheesegrits Have you tried borrowing/using an external USB keyboard..? (Just to confirm that it's not the laptop's physical hardware keyboard that's in error..?)

Better to be ignored than to be harrassed/targeted.
But better than all that is to be cared for.
(But further still beyond that, being paid attention to, *is not* the same as being cared for.)

Dear #WatchGeeks, what's Seiko's answer to the Casio Duro (MDV-106)?
And don't say the Seiko 5 or the SKX; those are automatics and I prefer quartz. (!)

The True Faithful though would continue to argue 7-dimension chess, of course.
To which I say more power to you.

Winning a US$500 million wrongful death suit against DPRK... I dunno, feels kinda like winning a defamation suit against a flock of pigeons that just ruined your picnic? (Times a few hundred thousand, maybe..?)
Apropos though imo every youtuber & Web-celebrity who have ever "vacationed" to North Korea must be made aware of this.

I feel like I'm going about my job search wrong. But I can't seem to figure out *how* I'm doing my job-search wrong, and consequentially how to instead do it *right*.
Sigh-inducing & frustrating.
