An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I recently replaced a Dell keyboard in 10 minutes. They're stupid simple.
My current Lenovo has no spyware and it runs Windows - but I installed the OS myself and built it my way.
I've done lots of Wireshark testing on my network, and run PiHole for DNS so can look at reports - there's nothing unusual going out of my network.
Look up the Superfish incident from about 10 years ago, im sure they got the memo and stopped that shit, but to me and a lot of cybersecurity professionals, that bridge is burnt.
It depends on the model. Sometimes, yeah.
The pro models like a low end Latitude.
Part of why you just don't by the consumer models.
Regardless, you don't need to remove the wifi card to change a keyboard.
