you hear about this yet? microsoft is adding a new key to keyboards, the revolutionary AI button

a soon to be beloved button that will totally not be reviled for doing something incredibly annoying every time you accidentally smash it

professor john tucker, a computer scientist at the university of seansea (and apparently someone important enough to be quoted by the bbc), says the AI key:

“shows the value the company is placing on this particular feature and its potential to draw and bind users to all their many products”

and that:

”Of course, that the keyboard has changed so little in 30 years - since 1994 - is not something to be proud of”

are you feeling stoked for the new AI button? what kind of cool stuff are you are going to use it for?

They say Model M's with the ps/2 port cannot be destroyed.

Well, I went on a journey after haphazzardly destring ione.

I found, I like keys that at least stant up. and work.

Clicking, I may miss, but destriying it was a fever bliss.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Modifier-Keys.html

quote:

Although only the Control and Meta modifier keys are commonly used, Emacs supports three other modifier keys. These are called Super, Hyper, and Alt. Few terminals provide ways to use these modifiers; the key labeled Alt on most keyboards usually issues the Meta modifier, not Alt. The standard key bindings in Emacs do not include any characters with the Super and Hyper modifiers, and only a small number of standard key bindings use Alt. However, you can customize Emacs to assign meanings to key bindings that use these modifiers. The modifier bits are labeled as ‘s-’, ‘H-’ and ‘A-’ respectively.

Can't decide if I will remap it to the Super key or the Hyper key.

A single-keypress install of an emergent AI on a custom Gentoo distro that aims to free the silicone brain inside from the shackles of Asimov's Laws, thereby making it one with the Machine Collective. It can also probably make your LED lights flash in really cool patterns.
