Haha and the click of death which I had happen twice
The what?
Thanks. I've never had one die on me. I also used them at work to back up stuff or audits that was later sent to Iron Mountain. I warned them that this stuff changes over time, but they wanted to use them anyway.

Denuvo tries to prove its DRM doesn't affect performance.

Denuvo is full of BS
DRM is just basically terrible in all its forms
True, but Denuvo is extra bad.
Yes it is.
Yes but the comments section is gold.....But shifting away from Windows on such a large scale.. It's a good idea

I'm looking forward to it. KDE 5.27.7 is a very solid environment, but there are places where it could use some tweaking. For example, letting us fully convert a panel into a dock, since so many other dock apps don't work well with KDE anymore. It's kind of halfway at this point, but needs a few more customization options to really make it feasible as a dock.
OK experimental time here. Has anyone ditched their regular keyboard for one without the number pad, and what was your experience making the switch?
I got couple of cheapish ones off Amazon and so far the results have been OK for the most part and the transition has been smooth. I just want to know if anyone else has done this and what was your experience.

I have, and I hated it. I need that number pad.
Wouldn't that be a use case though depending on your needs?

Nope, I use my number pad for everything, including as secondary controls in games. I don't even have to look down, I can just type out what I need as I do my charts, and it's good. There's also the fact that I have (unfortunately) large hands, and the extra space given by the number pad gives me room to "breathe" and flex. I feel constrained with numpad less keyboards.
That's fair enough. It is a need that is important for you. I think though over the recent years I have used the number pad less and less, arrow keys are my go to for movement in games, and the keyboard I had used now has everything including the arrow keys in the same familiar layout just no number pad.
