So everything ultimately when you zoom in close enough is just physics. Matter is made of atoms and atoms are made of particles and particles are just bits of energy moving around excitedly. I might have missed a few layers but good enough for a layperson discussion.

I know there have been experiments to cool things to absolute zero, and I know we've gotten pretty close but not quite.

But what would happen at absolute zero, or do we even know for certain? If those bits of energy stop moving, do they cease to exist? Would the macro object just poof?

Just started using the choral hold feature recently introduced in on my keyboard and it’s almost as if I now had an entirely different keyboard!

This is especially designed for people like me who have their mod keys as dual functions on the home row. It prevents some typos and reduces input lag (because the firmware doesn’t need to wait as long to know if a key is held or not is some cases).

Help please: GU_OFF ?

I'm using an unmodified Planck dropshipped keyboard. It is mostly as represented here raw.githubusercontent.com/qmk/ with the exception that the lowest-left key is 'shift' and not 'brite', although it would be nice if it were related to my keyboard backlight. See also config.qmk.fm/#/planck/rev7/LA, which seems to match except that both my spacebar buttons are, for now, really just space.

My toddler mashed some buttons for ten minutes before we realized where he was, and ever since then my GUI key is disabled. I have verified that it is, evidently, the GU_OFF command that was run, as it is strictly the GUI key that is disabled and even when I swap GUI and ALT (Meta) it remains the GUI key (even after it changes position) that simply does nothing. I have never installed my own firmware and mostly have just utilized the Dvorak layer. I really need my GUI key back. I've verified that it is the keyboard and not the system by using the keyboard on another, my Windows gaming box, and still there is no GUI key (there used to be, as it brought up the Windows start menu, which I used sometimes).

Any idea what could have disabled my GUI (Windows, Super) key on my Planck, and how I can get it back short of flashing the keyboard (I can't get to Flashing, but that's another post)?

@apfel @0x17: Uargh, Katana-Layout! 😉 Da würde ich mir als Emacs-User bei Ctrl-X Ctrl-S noch mehr die Finger verknoten, als ich's schon bei ortholinearen #Keyboards tue. 🤪

Die einzigen beiden mehr oder weniger ortholinearen Keyboards mit denen ich gut klarkomme, sind das #Zlant (eigentlich "uniform staggered", sieht aus wie ein jeweils um 0.25u verschobenes #Planck) und das vorhin schon genannte semi-ortholineare #Alpha28, weil da das X rechts unter dem S ist.

NASA’s Webb, Hubble Telescopes Affirm Universe’s Expansion Rate, Puzzle Persists

[..] Hubble and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have tag-teamed to produce definitive measurements, furthering the case that something else – not measurement errors – is influencing the expansion rate.
