Meta data like tone, timbre, amplitude also communicate intent and meaning beyond ‘dah’s and ‘dit’s.
I often wish for a way to communicate to other drivers via something that's a bit more clear than horn or blinking lights. Like one of those LED text things to say "oi mate your lights are off" or something like that.
I just want one that says "STOP CAMPING THE PASSING LANE"

I had a rugged android phone from Blackview that was deemed to survive terrible stuff...I managed to drop it into the ocean. Bought another one for my significant other after changing the screen of her samsung smartphone 3 times. She has used it for more than a year, it slipped from her jacket once from my motorbike. Someone found it 1h later in the middle of a roundabout face down with tire marks on the case. He saw…
>I managed to drop it into the ocean. Will survive being subducted under a continental plate?
We'll never know unless it would be ejected by a volcano a few millenia from now.

Yeah, "slam" seems a bit hyperbolic, if not click-baity.
Click the link and watch the video in the github read me. It IS slamming the lid...
The sensor that detects whether the lid is closed works just as well whether you slam it shut or close it gently, so it's unnecessary to actually slam the lid.

? even on one's own computer? I don't follow It would follow from your statement that not disabling the screen lock is also anti-social.
Windows has a "sticky keys" accessibility feature that is enabled by pressing "shift" many times. I believe it's intended for people who have a hard time holding multiple keys at the same time. It's something that would be easy to trigger accidentally if you are using the shift keys to play pinball or type morse code.
Right, I know, all OSs have those same features. I always disable them on my own computers because they get in the way when triggered accidentally, like with gaming. The poster I replied to suggested it’s evil to do so, and I’m confused why.

A lot of my guy friends have a crush on a lead character in it (not Elias or Elon, but a similar name?) and praise it extensively. I apparently read it one time and remember nothing about it, so YMMV but if you’re into hacker guys, you’ll apparently love it!
Enoch Root?
Enoch! Yes!

The comment I replied to mentioned using the shift key to covertly transmit morse code.
