So in the future all devices will be completly closed and prevented from ever being open?

I would prefer to be in a complete open world. But then reading the FSF's homepage I often get the impression that if you cannot convert fully to free software then there is no point converting at all. They constantly attack any project allowing a transition from closed to open if it is not fully open. It just isn't possible right now and only gets harder with time.

I believe that the goal is ultimately the same (fully open) but FSF has a philosophically approach with freedom for a few and OSI has an realistic approach for freedom for the mass.

Caps lock might be good as an alternative for sticky shift for people with too few fingers but I believe it to be a legacy from the typewriter days then physical locking the shift could save some effort (depending on typewriter shift could be rather heavy if typing more than one capital letter). It is placed they too centrally no matter how I look at it.

I press Num lock all the time because it always seems to be in the wrong state.
If there is a keypad on the keyboard I expect it to be permanently ON (absolutely no exceptions). Most operating systems I have come across have a bad habit of turning it off sometimes without changing the light.
If the keypad is placed among the normal buttons I expect it to be permanently OFF (absolutely no exceptions either)
From the picture it appears that both Num Lock and the numpad keys in the middle of the normal keys are gone. I can hope that this means that the state of num lock does not matter. The keys should never have been placed among the normal keys in the first place.

I don't like that they have remapped the function keys and replaced them with brightness, volume and so on. I need to press F2 more often than I need to change the brightness. I know that they are considered a legacy from the days before the mouse... but I don't always have a mouse connected to my laptop and even on the desktop I often prefer the F-keys.

Even if all previous tries have failed is not a guarantee that it will fail again. Even if the technology is the same times change.

However Google might be out a little early. The question is of course if the Internet is ready to handle a secondary device? I have worked in some companies and the question being asked then moving things out of the house is: Is the Internet stable enough. Sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it is no.

The biggest problem is of course that even if the Internet is 90% of all needed functionality we still have the critical 10% that is different for all users and therefore cannot be moved to the cloud.

Google admit that the new device can only be used as a secondary device because it lacks important functionality but one wonders if that is enough. The mobile technology suggests that people might want fewer devices not an extra.

You should obviously wait to outside working hours in case it actually breaks something.

If you apply an update over ssh you should test that you can create a new ssh connection before you disconnect the first one.

Then the EU ill send a letter to Sweden telling them that they are very angry at them.

I have formulated it as a joke but really it is not.

There are no official way to punish a member that does not implement the EU laws. Many members ignore 50% of all laws.

In some cases people can get compensation if they have an actual documented loss directly because a member has not passed a law. But that does not apply to terror.

A lot of rulings are given each day and none of them have any effect.

Of course all changes to the GPLv2 programs can be moved to GPLv3 but not the other way.

The GPLv2 version will soon be outdated and Suse would look old if they don't move to GPLv3.

But lets see if it is actually going to be a problem. Nothing is illegal until the court way so.
