I recently had a dream that involved a suburb of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have never been to Green Bay Wisconsin. I know it as a rather small city that is the home to the Green Bay Packers, an administratively anachronistic NFL team that draws a large plurality of its fan base from the greater Milwaukee area. Off the top of my head, I don’t know if Green Bay has “suburbs” in the usual American sense at all.

I googled the name of this completely nonexistent community, along with the words “Green Bay,” and the AI very confidently hallucinated it into existence, describing it as a lovely shopping and residential area just over the bridge of the same name.

I had a "Philips" branded board for a couple of days. I have some pretty cheap tastes, but that's the only one I sent back simply because I hated it so much. I believe they're Aula boards, but a very, very cheap production run.

RK have had some battery issues, so that's unsurprising, and the software is clunky and bloated, but for wired use they should work reasonably well. Redragon potentially as well. I have an "E-Yooso"/Huo Ji that seems fine too. One of the issues some of us in the hobby run into with advice like this is that I haven't exclusively used one keyboard for more than a few weeks at a time before rotating it out for another, but like others here, I'm generally of the opinion that cheap is fine, but cheapest is sketchy.

Keychron, even their less expensive offerings, should get you to the point where you can reasonably hope for a certain amount of QC.

Absolutely, though I had sort of forgot how the Neelix prosthetics can be low-grade Nightmare Fuel without Ethan Phillips bringing him to life.

Jeez, I wish I'd thought of that.

Everybody here is kinda right, but there are other factors to consider, and the net result is that it's usually not a case worth bringing.

The "Impossibility" defense says that in most cases, the "factual" impossibility of committing the crime is not a defense, but taking an action that is not a crime is a defense, and if raised must be proved by the prosecution. Even with "Factual," the line gets muddy (the article cites a person whose appeal won after they were convicted of poaching after shooting a stuffed deer). Many jurisdictions have a "reasonable person" standard for that as well, where if the act is the sort of thing that might normally be expected to result in a crime (the most infamous case is two US military personnel who thought they were raping a passed out woman, but really she had died from a heart attack) then you get no benefit, but if no reasonable person would believe that their action would do anything, then it's more likely to succeed. To answer one of your questions, being told the button sets off a bomb would be more problematic for our hypothetical asshole than being told it "just kills" somebody that would be a bigger problem than a Death Note notebook, but it's not a simple yes/no.

So anyway, this then raises some questions. Was this button setup convincing? Who did the convincing? Why did they do so? Other defenses might arise out of these conditions: e.g. they were told that pushing the button would save a bunch of other people, trolley-problem style, or it was the police egging them on and telling them they needed to for XYZ good reason. Many of them will turn on the defendant's thoughts, so in any jurisdiction where they are not obligated to testify (e.g. the United States), our very interesting defendant simply doesn't, and their attorney argues that there's reasonable doubt they thought the button would actually do anything.

Add on top of this prosecutorial discretion. A prosecutor knows all of this, and knows this is a loser of a case, so apart from truly bonkers hypothetical, they will not bring it.

TL;DR: By the letter of the law, very probably yes, but no one will ever get convicted for it.

You say "looming data apocalypse."

I say, "free high quality neodymium magnets!"

I guess Wordleing in the near future suits me. :-)

Yeah, if you were using one of these rubber dome M's, then the tactile event is firm and has quite the drop-off. I like it better than the average dome, but it's not fuckin' around.

Honestly, even as a kid, it just underlined that this is a guy who exists in a dangerous world, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, if you will. He's coded as friendlier than the average Mos Eisley denizen, and he didn't shoot until he was threatened, but we are to infer the threat was serious. That Han still counts as "close enough" to a good guy just lets us know how dire Ben and Luke's situation is. It was a nice bit of show-don't-tell storytelling and the SE made it less so, in addition to being visual garbage.

I can imagine. It's a different kind of typing experience.
