Once a long time ago I had some problems after upgrading a computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I got on a chat with someone from Microsoft support and eventually started a remote session with them. The first thing he did was go into the chat app from my side and give himself 5-star ratings across the board and pasted in some feedback about being diligent and responsive. That whole part took less than 30 seconds.
At the end of the day he couldn’t resolve the issues and we ultimately downgraded back to Windows 7.
Goddamn, I realized this was referencing the Microsoft forum just from reading the first paragraph and I've hardly used Windows in the last decade...
I guess, this is why they think the incessant rambling from ChatGPT is in any way acceptable.
Don't forget a paragraph about how they have helped hundreds of people and have some forum award they've named to sound like a real certificate.
Just so they can tell you to do the thing that was first on your "things I've tried" list.
If I have a specific problem, with a specific error code. I can usually find useful information to fix it online. Not some useless generic garbage fix from that forum.
In fairness if you're a total technology troglodyte they can supply basic answers. But the moment there's a real glitch for which actual programmers are needed....

Good luck!
And here, last night, I was stressing over an issue with distributing the version of an app that I knew would solve the problem caused by this other app being only a facsimile of the one it replaced, and is there for missing some important compatibility.
But new is shiny so fuck 'usable'.
So I was grabbing this other app to do the thing I knew it could, but this app was first built 18 years ago, and last major update - security not feature - was 9-10 years ago. The app is feature-complete and it's not fucking systemd so it can stop at being perfect for its primary use.
But then its python interpreter has left it behind, like "fuck you this can't even run", because they fucked wit the api without thinking. And now this app is just abandonware.
I think that's two sides of the same coin: you have inept answers from people practicing robotic responses, and my thing was killed by eager-beaver devs who cut off features they don't understand or value, just like a civil war surgeon treating athletes foot. Similar, my shit won't ever run again either.
(No I don't know python yet. Too busy working to learn it; and also indentation disco sucks)
Have you tried sfc /scannow?
Thank you for your valuable question, please be sure to rate my answer as "solved".

Anything is possible with enough custom layers ;)
The F-keys are pretty easy but if you had to do function keys and numbers that might be a little more difficult.
I've been on this setup for about 2 years now and I haven't run into trouble yet!
I've tried different wrist wrests over the years but I've found that having them floating is the most comfortable for me.
I'm thinking about building a split board but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with that, more research is needed. For some reason I think I want to build a fully wireless corne with Choc switches but I see that the newest corne PCB is not really setup for wireless.

With a more "traditional" layout like this, most wrist rests do more harm than good. Raised (in relation to the keys) palm rests like the Kinesis Advantage boards tend to be better. I've also got kinda fucky wrists (injury and starting PT level of fucky) so, small keyboards without finger splay can be quite painful. I ended up needing to change to a Svalboard in order to minimize pain.

Corne is a fun one. If the PCB has a Pro Micro pin layout, you can swap that with something like a NiceNano (use Mill Max sockets) for "free" wireless.

I'm still working on the scrying mode in the firmware.

It would take work, and might not be worth it just to use it for your work keyboard though.
I have a similar keyboard to OP. I have a layer with a grid of f-keys on the left and a standard numberpad layout on the right.
Combos like that are fast, simple, and no contorting or excessive stretching required since every f-key is within one key distance of the home row (I regularly use L-Alt+L-Shift+f-key combos)
Could you share the numpad you're using?
I love the 75-key keebs but I do actually benefit from a numpad occasionally and have been hoping for a product similar to what you have here.
It's a Magicforce brand with Cherry browns. I do not love it, sometimes it acts funny with my Lenovo docking station. I feel like you can find a better one with wireless these days if you look around on Amazon a bit.

Software for creating music sheets
Hello everyone,
I am looking for software to write music sheets and tabs. A friend and music teacher uses Guitar Pro, but it's a little pricey for my occasional use.
It doesn't have to be an all-in-one solution. So for example, if you know a piece of software that does just cord visualization that's also highly appreciated.

Tiny bit of context: LilyPond is basically LaTeX for sheet music.
Really good for transcribing and if you enjoy working with text.
But it does have somewhat of a learning curve, which might not be worth it for occasional use...
Tux Guitar comes to mind but some things like chord diagrams isn't done as well as guitar pro (imo).
For chord diagrams (like at the top of GP), there's hundreds of websites out there which show those and its probably quicker to just use those. I'll usually just search "C chord ".

An ice age infant’s 17,000-year-old DNA reveals he had dark skin and blue eyes
Summary
Researchers analyzed the 17,000-year-old remains of an Ice Age infant found in a southern Italian cave, uncovering details about his life, ancestry, and cause of death.
The child likely had dark skin, blue eyes, and curly hair, and his genome links him to the Villabruna cluster, an ancient post-Ice Age population.
He died from a genetic heart condition and showed signs of malnutrition and stress, likely linked to his mother’s difficult pregnancy.
This well-preserved skeleton offers rare insights into human life and health during the Last Glacial Maximum.

A bit clickbait title:
The boy’s skin was darker than most modern Europeans’ but not as dark as a tropically acclimated person’s, Modi says, and his pale blue eyes match those of other ancient western European hunter-gatherers. The infant also appears to be an ancestor of the Villabruna cluster—a group of post-Ice Age people who lived up to 14,000 years ago—suggesting the Villabruna line began in southern Europe well before the end of the Ice Age, per the study.
I would be interested if some relatives are still living nearby. Remember I read an article about some bog mummy from England, and they found direct descendants living in a nearby village.

Settlers can't pay their bills as 'Israel's' multibillion war persists
Around two million Israeli settlers are facing difficulties paying their primary dues and bills and are grappling with the continuously deteriorating economic state as the war rages on for its 14th month, according to Israeli media.
Moody's downgraded "Israel's" sovereign credit rating to Baa1 from A2 in September, citing the escalating conflict in the region and concerns about long-term economic stability. Later in November, the agency maintained its negative outlook for "Israel", warning that further downgrades remain possible.

Sweet.
Been waiting 20 years for this.
I congenitally lack 4 teeth. For those teeth, the ~~milk~~ baby teeth never fell out. I ripped one out at 15, and the dentist took the last when I was 18.
Amazing if sometime I'll just be able to take a pill an regrowth them. Painful prolly tho.

But hidden underneath our gums are the dormant buds of a third generation, according to Katsu Takahashi, head of oral surgery at the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital in Osaka.His team launched clinical trials at Kyoto University Hospital in October, administering an experimental medicine to adult test subjects that they say has the potential to jumpstart the growth of these concealed teeth.
…
Tests on mice and ferrets suggest that blocking a protein called USAG-1 can awaken the third set, and the researchers have published lab photographs of regrown animal teeth.
What I would infer from this is that you’d regrow the whole set and you can only do it once. You’d either have to have your teeth removed or let them be pushed out. I’m not sure, but it doesn’t sound pleasant.
Edit:
A confident Takahashi argues that the location of a new tooth in a mouth can be controlled, if not pinpointed, by the drug injection site.And if it grows in the wrong place, it can be moved through orthodontics or transplantation, he said.
Oh maybe not. 🤷♂️
The drug is therefore aimed primarily at children, and the researchers want to make it available as early as 2030.
Gonna be a while though.

Anyone tried this? I generally dislike MMOs, but I am trying to find something that fits my tastes.
I tried GW2 and while it is a great product, the themepark approach just doesn't fit with my expectations of an MMO.
I played Darkfall back in the day, I did enjoy Darkfall, the world felt real.
I haven't tried (can't currently).
But re: your (other) topic, I think you're looking for a sandbox MMO or semi-sandbox. Sadly, sandbox MMOs are rare these days (even semi-sandbox). The most we have are in the 1st Gen and 3rd Gen MMOs. Or, MUDs/MUSHes. (AoC looks promising though.)
