A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Have to respectfully disagree on this. For typing purposes, QWERY is indeed better, but if you're using a remote's up-down-left-right buttons, I feel a-z feels more familiar.
I disagree. Gaming consoles typically have qwerty layout for on-screen typing with a D-pad. I still think it's faster to input when I know where the letters are. With different services adopting different alphabetical layouts, I don't quickly know where the letters are. Really, the best solution would be to make it an option. I always end up casting from my phone which allows me to use my phone's keyboard.
