  • Yes but only occasionally. I have them mapped as space cadet shift keys so left shift key is ( on tap and shift on hold, right shift key is ) on tap and shift on hold.

    I use ( a lot but my ide normally adds the ) for me so I don’t need it as much for that.

    Also, I use left shift for most capitals as I rarely gpt further than ; on the right side of the keyboard.

    Smaller keyboards I have shift on hold of A and L as I don’t have dedicated shift keys kn those.


  • BYD is eating everyone’s lunch at the bottom not just Tesla.

    Tesla could have prospered by sticking to the mid range but their build quality is appalling even for a lower mid car.

    Couple that with some truly dumb design ideas from Elon (no lidar, no physical buttons, indicators as buttons, stupidly high repair bills due to design choices) and some even more stupid personal behaviors from him and he has just cut the legs out of his market.

    EV buyers who are spending more money care about this kind of thing, budget buyers it is mostly about price.


  • Aesthetically appealing tools are important to me, I like tools that are good to look at and work with and I will pay more for the privilege.

    When I have a set of tools I prefer that they are coloured differently as it helps identify different sizes without having to read labels once you worked with them for a bit. I am particularly partial to Swiss Tools rainbow sets for this reason.

    Obviously if you are only using the tool once in a blue moon then you really do not need to spend big money on it, but if you are spending more can get you a significantly better tool, so it might as well look cool in the process.

    Even things like screwdrivers a better quality one like Vessels Megadora range cam out a lot less than the cheapest supermarket screwdrivers so you have less frustration with stripping screw heads. Plus they are A LOT more comfy to use all day.

    Power tools I am on the DeWalt batteries, so cordless I stick with DeWalt. Anything corded or hand powered I buy whatever is best bang for my buck, but if its reasonably close I will stick with DeWalt where I can.

    All my storage boxes are either Stanley or DeWalt as its the same system and same colours. I like my storage to match as much as possible as I have a lot of it and it looks better matching. Even the foam in my storage is black and yellow, lol.
