great i need to use internet explorer for a thing and it suddenly decided it can no longer connect to literally any web pages, not even servers on my local network when i directly type in the ip address. ive disabled every addon, checked every connection setting, and restored it to default settings. every other program connects to the internet fine. this must be why microsoft is cool again?

no the other stuff doesn't work very well at all and it probably broke the windows stuff to make itself look better.

windows update works, does that use core windows networking features?

I am pretty freaked out by a provider who accepts bitcoin. Is that a normal part of this poo poo? Weird rear end fuckers who cater to drugs and child porn?

literally every vpn service accepts bitcoin. expressvpn seems ok and has a 7 day trial and a bunch of servers and will work in china if you ever need that, same with astrill. or try nordvpn with coupon code low tax and get 75% off

a few weeks ago when we hit 100% humidity for a few days, 2 of the keys on my keyboard died. theyre cherry black switches but not hotswappable so i bought a couple replacement switches and i just soldered them on there, but theyre still dead. anything else worth trying or should i just call it a loss?

oh also the boards switches had 4 pins and the replacements have 2, but i assume the extra 2 are not electrically needed, does that make sense?

i would think only two of the pins are metal on either, and depressing the switch would close the circuit. use a continuity tester on the old switches to see if they're even broken

thats a good idea

i'm finding a variety of information though a lot of it is fairly unhelpful, this is from the das keyboard site however:

if you have four pins are you sure that you bought cherry switches and they aren't another brand?

yah im sure i did. they look identical other than the pins on the bottom and one says 921 and the other 462 on the bottom. i mean i only bought 4 of them so if theyre wrong its not a big deal

huh... the new ones are the same as the "3-leg" switches here but the ones i removed from the board are the "5-leg" switches but with 2 additional metal pins on the opposite side, which would make them 7 leg? maybe thats important

i just took that switch apart and the extra 2 pins are just a wire. maybe i can solder a wire to bridge those contacts

i tried my idea of just bridging the contacts for the missing metal pins with a wire and it didnt work. so i took the keyboard to a guy in my neighborhood who fixes electronics and i paid him like $2 to spend a half hour probing everything with a multimeter, he checked out everything i was thinking of checking and like 5x more stuff than that and concluded it was a problem on the pcb that wasnt really feasible to fix. time for a new keyboard i guess. rip

those kind of jobs were so common when I was a kid but I think the American economy makes labor cost more than replacement for anything cheaper than like a piano

yah he told me if he fixed it he'd charge me like $10 but he couldnt fix it so he said i didnt need to pay him but i insisted to pay something because it took his time and i ended up giving him about $2

wait what? maybe I’m missing something, but we get 100% humidity all the time in the good ole US of A and this kind of poo poo doesn’t happen. Even where I live

it’s not only 100% humidity. it was close to 100% humidity with warm air and then we had some sort of cold front come through suddenly, so all the warm humid air got shocked down to a way lower temperature and the humidity just fell out of the air like dew, but indoors and in literally every place in the province all at once. there was no real escape for like 2-3 days

I bet he'd do more work on it and learn something new, later.... If later ever comes.

no, it’s just 2 keys that stopped working and i don’t have a spare keyboard. im just gonna keep using it until i get a replacement
