why does this image have built-in spit droplets

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month 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.

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 month 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

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Shower thoughts, clearly it needs water.

Image so old it got moldy

[–] Oisteink@feddit.nl 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 1 month ago

Bah! That's what editors are for!

They told me it was already published by Shakespeare.

Some keyboards have a lock button and most can be unplugged

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.
[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] dragonlobster@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

[–] Dillenger69@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 9 points 1 month ago

K-K-K-Keyboard!

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] 0101100101@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] serenissi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

I usually open vim.

You could also just unplug the keyboard

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Almost all DEs have a lock screen...

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

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.

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

[–] Shawdow194@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

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