Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.
This is one of my favourites, despite the lack of Hobbes.
I HATE those sites where popups come up when you are halfway reading something.
Agreed, if I did want to sign up it would be when I've finished, not when I'm trying to read your own bloody content. I often sign up using their own domain with something like sales@ or something ruder. Petty, but it's a small vent. and if one person stops because of it I can die happy.
It's how everyone who's anyone does code reviews!
I think it's probably a mix of criticising a joke for its accuracy, and the fact that it's in a single paragraph so it's a huge wall of text.
It works great and the config is simple. It doesn't handle triggering things from those keypresses, but you've probably already got something running that does that.
I happily use Helix for Rust, etc projects, and as a general editor. I switch back to VSCode for TypeScript/Svelte projects because the plugins make it more productive for me. I do miss the editing experience and need to check if there's a VSCode plugin that lets me not confuse my muscle memory.
Helix was the thing that finally made me remap my caps lock key to esc.
I just had mine arrive yesterday!
I have one of these
I'm using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it, because I don't fancy running some random closed-source Chinese code (the manual links to a file on Google Drive). It also means I can move over my config when I switch to Linux.
I have two keys for switching between headphones and speakers, and some set up for shortcuts I forget (like ctrl-shift-e for the network monitor in Firefox). One key types "hello" just because I can.
I've got the large knob controlling volume, and I can click it to toggle mute. The other two are currently set to scroll, but I don't need that as my mouse has better ergonomics for scrolling.
I still have plenty of unused keys and it's got three layers so I won't be running out in the foreseeable future.
The Phoronix comments are notoriously toxic - I went to the article mostly to witness the incoherent rage in the comments and wasn't too disappointed.
This isn't a million miles from what bitcoin mining does, although in that case they're trying to find hashes that start with a lot of zeroes.
I just watched Hit Man, which claims there aren't any such thing as hit men in real life - clearly that's not the case!
