why does this image have built-in spit droplets

My dumb ass just went and tried to clean my screen before I read your comment

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

Did you put it into screen cleaning mode first?

It has been saved, reposted and saved so many times that there is data loss making fuzzy artifacts in the picture.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

This was incredibly confusing for me because I washed my hands after opening this post. I picked up my phone, and I read your top comment before reading the post, and then I looked at my screen and I actually had water on my screen. I was like, "Damn that is some realistic looking water!" Then I wiped it on my shirt and it disappeared and I got really confused lol

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Shower thoughts, clearly it needs water.

Image so old it got moldy

It’s semen

Just open up notepad, start cleaning, and then use the resulting document as a word finder puzzle. Hell, if you're really lucky you might write the next best selling novel.

Wouldn't recommend this. I mean, it was publishable, sure. But there were tons of spelling errors.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Bah! That's what editors are for!

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

They told me it was already published by Shakespeare.

Some keyboards have a lock button and most can be unplugged

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Mostly only an issue for laptops.

Side note: whoever decided that pressing any key on the keyboard should turn on the computer should be shot. Fuck you Apple for bringing that back.

I think there used to be a program for windows to lock the keyboard, too. Themed around protecting from cats walking across it, if anyone wants to look.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago

You're supposed to clean your keyboard?

I bought one with lights and it's a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

How are your pubes getting near your k--

wait, no I don't want the answer to that question.

  1. Unplug keyboard or turn off bluetooth.
  2. Clean keyboard.
[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Unplugging the keyboard requires getting down on my hands and knees, groping around to find a plug I can't visually see, and probably dislocating my shoulder in the process.

And then even more luck required to get the plug I can't see back IN, trying the USB every single way blind by feel only, and neither way wants to accept it's the right one.

It's an absolute last resort.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

My keyboard has a detachable cable so you can just unplug it from the keyboard

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm happy for you

Gotta go harder to get that deep clean.

Unplug the laptop. Clean keyboard.

Or rip it out and clean it.

Thank you, meme, for making me take 20 seconds to clean my phone screen then wonder why it wouldn't clean.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

I don't clean my keyboard. I just add chia seeds and a little water. Chia keyboard ftw.

K-K-K-Keyboard!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Just lock the screen. The worst that'll happen is a failed login or switching the keyboard layout or something.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Windows-L is the hotkey (in Windows at least), for those who maybe didn't know.

My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Unplug it or turn it off if it's wireless. Not that hard.

It's what happens when you trip over the lamp's power cord, except for a keyboard.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.

Sounds like a mouthwash company

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I just open a vt and clean. Typing gibberish on login prompt is fine and f keys don't work.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I usually open vim.

You could also just unplug the keyboard

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Everyone has a reason here why this isn't necessary, but frankly it's just not a dumb idea and especially relevant for shared workplace workstations. I'd rather have a disable for cleaning button than a windows button.

Almost all DEs have a lock screen...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Luckily, my Keyboard is so dirty that I need to pull off all keycaps anyway.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

They should add an MP3 player style "Hold switch" on all keyboards
