    Acer has had this policy for over 20 years. I bought a laptop long ago from a vendor that I had issues with and they refused to give me support because I was running Linux at the time. (I forget what distro. Probably either Mandrake or early Ubuntu.) That laptop went right back to the vendor.

    Never bought anything from them since.











  • I have a couple of escape keys that I use, but they are too hard and the feeling is not uniform enough to use for other keys really. I wouldn’t trust them for regular alphabet at all. Especially for keys that have more angle to them they end up having a lot more topography to them.

    The stems also can’t take as much abuse unless you went ahead and filled the whole key in.


  • A lot of that seemingly came from when modder = cheater in GTAV. Saw a huge swing to that at the height of that game’s popularity.

    Edit: Read through the comments and it’s related to GTA but in a different way. The guy was comparing bootlegging to modding because someone in his country, Indonesia, was modding GTA:SA to add children’s show characters to it, changing the packaging to make it more appealing to children, and then is selling the discs to people. Which is a whole other can of worms.

    Anyone else that mentioned they didn’t like modding didn’t really elaborate.
