Gods DAMN IT! That is the third keyboard that I spilled tea on within 2 months. :P
So I finally got around to actually fixing instead of grabbing another keyboard. (I ran out of keyboards)
Two of them are fixed. Well, the 2nd one is still drying. This one's working fine now after cleansing.
The third one's a different model so I'll figure out that one a bit later. That one's also more affected, so that's gonna be fun cleaning. Hence, later.
Meh, I need to stop being so clumsy.
During break I told the teacher what happened earlier. And she already knows. During teaching she was wondering why her laptop kept making a 'ping' sound, and she recalled that she gave the mouse to us and concluded that must be the reason.
See, every time I turned on the mouse in order to try to connect it to the new receiver, it reconnected with her laptop instead which made that sound. 😂

We got a spare wireless mouse from the classroom next to this office. I had to pair it to another Unifying receiver to create a new set. But whatever I tried, it refused to connect. Everything else I had would pair up fine, but this one mouse just wouldn't.
I went to fetch the original receiver from the classroom to see if it was still paired with the mouse. It was, so I unpaired it and now the mouse could connect to the new receiver fine. Everything finally worked like a charm and I returned the original receiver.
And, um... since the classroom's workspace was right behind the wall behind me... I realized I might've inadvertently done shenanigans with the teacher's laptop. She didn't notice it because she was busy teaching, but I hope I didn't accidentally remove any emails! 😬
In hindsight it was pretty hilarious. 😋

'I am Lance Boyle, and you'd be too, if you were me!' *snaps fingers then does a double thumbs up cooler than The Fonz*
Megarace is cool just because of Lance Boyle. The actual gameplay kind of sucks, that didn't age well. 😅

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.
Not the case.
It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.
Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.
By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.
So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.
If #Mastodon existed in the 1980s! Please boost this one!

*edit* Wow, 384 boosts!
And now I've finally finished the story of Horizon Zero Dawn! Quite epic, just as epic as human stupidity so this is definitely epic! I had to roll my eyes a few times at the actions that were taken in the game that led to this catastrophic chain of events. There were some bittersweet moments where I had to shed a tear or two. Also groaning at the very end, and it's pretty clear that this story'll continue.
I'll be looking forward to play its sequel in a few years' time (since it has to be ported to PC first and all that). Not often that I play an AAA game, but this one was good even though it was very crash-prone and refuses to run with my browser open. Also lots of Dutch names in the credits. :D
Achievements-wise I'm at 93%, just missing 5 achievements there. Two of those are kinda a bitch, so not going to replay this game anytime soon. Maybe another time when I feel like roaming around this world again.
Time to go search for something else to play now I guess.

Have helped set up a 'Tovertafel' at job (a beamer with sensors to interact with the stuff, projected onto a table or floor). Next week I'll help calibrate it further and try to get it connected to the school's WiFi.
Thing's kinda cute. The default games are a bit meh, but I think they'll be great for kindergarten. Once we actually get connected we might have access to a boatload more fun games which'll be great for the whole school.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
