infernal machines posted:does it randomly just change layouts on you too? i have no telling of that since i have used uk british keyboard layout on windows for as long as i remember my computers the key thing is that the friend of mine has selected latvian layout for english language, which i assume is why this is happening, but i am too lazy to test if having latvian with latvian layout remediates the issue

infernal machines posted:does it randomly just change layouts on you too? also the "Canadian Multilingual Standard" layout which is exceptionally rare and all labeled as "English (Canada)" so if you started writing in French in Word it'd label everything as wrong due to thinking it was meant to be english whenever deploying i always had to purge everything and then create two options (assuming the client wanted both) "English (Canada) - US layout" and "French (Canada) - Canadian French layout", I think only once or twice I had a client who happened to be using an old keyboard with either "Canadian French (legacy) layout" or "Canadian Multilingual Standard" layout. And of course the "French (France)" layout is entirely different with an AZERTY layout which gets extra-fun with French versions of games you can't remap keys in since WASD is ZQSD

if Canadians want proper regional setups they can set everything to en-us and it will be correct. Canada mandates the hosed up combos of weird poo poo that are apparent in the Canadian region/layout config.

i'm not sure the canadian layouts were ever "good" as such but they got extra-hosed by @ suddenly becoming essential for email addresses when it was hidden the gently caress away (right alt+2) and the like

im readin the spec for USB HID and one of the required descriptors is for country code dumping the descriptors of my keyboard shows 0x00 bCountryCode which means 'unspecified' or n/a it should be 0x22 for US (i think) i think manufacturers may just put 0x00 for everything? does anyone know why the gently caress do they would do that?

im just curious what the stupid reason is behind everyone having to manually choose their keyboard locale
|
# ? May 25, 2018 13:11 |
|
Probably because it would cost 1¢ more per keyboard to program each controller id to match the layout at the factory But it's cool that someone at least tried to design USB so it would just work when you plug in a foreign keyboard In theory if this was implemented correctly you could have several keyboards connected, one for english and one for moon runes

macs do (or used to?) a weird thing where they had you press the buttons immediately adjacent to your shift keys (so Z and / on a US keyboard) and figure out the locale from that, at least with actual for-macs keyboards

lmao. so win 10 1803, spring whatever just keeps reinstalling the promoted modern apps. not, like, on new accounts, which is obnoxious but expected. no, for the same user, no matter how many times you right-click and uninstall from the start menu, the next day they're back with a helpful little "new" next to them. please, go gently caress yourself and your goddamed ad trash you loving assholes.

yes, which removes all modern apps, including the app store, which can be problematic at times. i'm aware of the scorched earth method, but that's not something that's going into production

AtomD posted:im just curious what the stupid reason is behind everyone having to manually choose their keyboard locale running windows in english with a non-american keyboard causes it. the reason for running windows in english instead of localized is so the error messages don't ready like gibberish and the menus make just a tiny bit of sense. windows (and also languages) were a mistake.

i'm mostly wary of what else will break when some daft update decides to check against core app packages that aren't there any more

So it's doubly important to convince enough people to nuke the appx packages for microsoft to always test their patches against that configuration

i can't imagine why you think microsoft tests their patches there's certainly no evidence to support such a fanciful notion

I use Alarms & Clock all the time. UWP redeemed. And Edge is a loving POS. When are they ever going to fix the fullscreen dual monitor bug? And why does text input often lag while elements are still loading? No other browser works that way.

The worst thing about Edge is that it gives corporate computer janitors an excuse for not having to figure out how to package Chrome or Firefox for intranet use
