People really don't use their CAPS-LOCK?
The kid we hired recently uses CAPS LOCK instead of holding shift for pretty much everything. I realized when I noticed random shouting skype messages slipping through. He forgets to turn it off.

You want

for that.

@blakeyrat i disagree. in my opinion, there's two kinds of laptop manufacturers: those that are shit and thus all their models are shit, and the normal ones characterised by SOME of their models being good, if you know how to choose.
lenovo is the latter one, for example Ideapad Y700 is awesome once windows update finally stopped kicking out nvidia gpu drivers on each update. also, if you are not too hard on the keyboard because then the keycaps tend to get loose. other than that it's a great machine, which puts lenovo into the non-shit cathegory of manufacturers

OH RIGHT open sources fans think 1975 was the best year and everything invented since then is horrible and evil, I forgot for a second.
Hey, I was created after that!

I guess the open source fans have a point, then.

That doesn't help me when the laptop is provided by an employer who chose for me.
And they chose a Lenovo.
Which is shitty garbage.

Sounds like Stockholm syndrome. "It randomly shits its pants and won't show graphics at native resolution, and the keyboard breaks under normal use. Other than that, it's awesome."

@blakeyrat said in Lenovo's are shitty garbage:
the actual problem is related to Creator's Update. Once you install Creator's Update, Lenovo's wifi driver shits itself regularly in such a way that it not only disconnects you from the network, but actually locks-up every single application on your computer with an open network socket
How can a driver work fine before Creator's update then shit itself regularly after the update if Windows ABI is stable ?

Given that there's no distribution () without the source code, I think he'd qualify as God's Pub
lic License code.

I'm pretty sure you're justified to disable his capslock key. By force, if necessary.

Because stupid issues idiots write crappy drivers that rely on things that aren't stable?

I mean, my Lenovo is pretty good. Allows you to install a clean version of Windows with no hassle, allows a non-Windows OS with no hassle, and I have no problems like that at all. My biggest issue with it is that it's seen regular, heavy use since 2014 and it's starting to fall apart at stress points. Not bad for 3 years in a backpack though...

Guess how you deleted characters on that
You pressed left (to go back) and pressed space?
I still have to do that in our timesheet software.

They ordered me the World's Largest USB Wifi Adapter:
Amazon.com: NETGEAR AC1200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter High Gain Dual Band USB 3.0 (A6210-100PAS): Computers & Accessories
This thing's like Godzilla danging out from the side of your computer. Sheesh.
The World's Largest Wifi Adaptor is so large, natch, that when it's plugged in you can't use the DisplayPort next to that USB port. So convenient, this workaround for this busted-ass laptop which is shitty garbage.

Oh, you mean they don't include the USB Extension cable to go with it? That's... dumb.
