Please don’t bring that shit here. Just keep to lemmygrad dude.

Marxism is a deeply flawed ideology. I recommend reading Karl Poppers writings about marx to understand how fucked it really is.

Cool, hopefully modders can take advantage of this, it’d be cool to see what kinda stuff folk can come up with.

(I feel like i have to clarify, so just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhK2ev_O-pc)

No problem, have a nice day :)

In that case, your keyboard is most likely broken. Perhaps you could still have it fixed under warranty? You can enter the laptop serial number on https://support.hp.com to check if the warranty is still active.

Ah no worries mate, im happy to help :)

Have you tried F3, Escape and Delete?

And, just curious, how do you log in to ubuntu if your keys don’t work?

1. Make sure to power down your laptop.
2. press the power button, then mash F2 till you see the bios screen popup.

(Sometimes the bios key is F10 or F12, so if F2 doesn’t work just redo the steps but try those keys instead.)

3. Once you’re in the bios, you can use the arrow keys to navigate. Assuming the arrow keys work, you can navigate to a a section with the name “security” or something similair.

(If you press the arrow keys and nothing happens, your keyboard is broken.)

4. Once you are there you should see an option to “set an administrators password”. click on that and press a key that you know doesn’t work. if nothing is inputted into the password field then the keyboard is definently broken.

5. to exit the password input field simply press esc, and then you can navigate to exit, and select exit discarding changes.

If you got to step 5 and everything worked then it is definently an issue with the OS.

Honestly OP, weird keyboard issues, especially on a laptop are very often hardware failures.

As for driver downloading software, Linux works far different from Windows in this sense. Linux drivers usually come packaged with the kernel and are otherwise downloaded through the repository of your relevant distribution, so you don’t need any third party software.

You could boot into the bios and test the keys there. If they still don’t work then its a hardware issue. Do you know how to get into the bios?

Edit: Also OP, if you do have issues in the future, please post them on https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport as this isn’t really the right community.

I don’t use my phone for NFC payments, but my bank has an app that can handle nfc payments. You could check to see if your bank has something similair.

Tbh the problem with Discord is that its search and indexing functions just suck ass in the first place. I already treat anything posted in Discord as ephemeral information that stops existing once it leaves my view. In that sense i hope lemmy instances for tech support/ troubleshooting take off. Much easier to archive.

Stomach sleeping is best, because as long as i can’t see the long gangly hairy humanoid hanging from my ceiling it isn’t there.

Im always impressed by how well Yatzhee’s format holds up. Over a decade later his reviews are still really funny, while also getting to the point. One of those og content creators that has aged really well imo.

I think Huffman knows 2 things:

1. The redditors complaining right now are from the older community, alot of them are probably mods and a lot of them use 3rd party apps.

2. These people are also a tiny minority of reddit users, and plenty are addicted to reddit.

He knows that mods can be replaced, if they don’t just come back groveling, looking for their next fix. Reddit will suffer in the shortterm, but there are simply too many normie users who will continue using reddit and bringing in revenue for it to really matter.
