Unfortunately, the keyboard I went to shares the arrow keys with the numpad which makes data entry or modification on a spreadsheet a total pain.
It was fun to read what you shared; however, I think you have a very specific use case which is rather niche. That doesn’t make it bad. It just means it probably won’t apply as broadly as it seems you think it will from your post and replies.

Comment on Most bingeable book series? in ~books
ElectricFuturist LinkI thoroughly enjoyed The Expanse series, including the novellas. I read them after they had all been released and in the order in which they occurred, not released.

I couldn’t put them down and was totally engrossed in each book. I also watched the series after finishing the book the season was based on. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys hard sci-fi.

But I don’t want to live on top of other people. I want space from other people. I want to be able to step outside and be surrounded by greenery, not pavement, concrete, steel, and glass.
High density cities are ideal for a certain set of efficiency and environmental metrics. They aren’t ideal for everyone’s mental health.

I wonder if the same will be true with Wish. I have seen a trailer for Wish and it seems like something my kids would want to see. However, it’s going to be a few weeks before we have time to make it to the theater.
I see a lot of the same mentioned several times throughout the replies. I want to offer two additional options. I use Dashlane in my personal life and Keeper at my company. I find them both very easy to use across several systems. I don’t store my MFA tokens in either of them and use a separate application for that.
For Dashlane, I have the deadman drop function setup so my family can get access to my accounts if I am incapacitated or dead. I also have the family plan which has forced my wife to take a more serious approach to her data security.
Overall, I like them both for what I use them for. I used to use LastPass at my company but then they had a massive breach and we switched to Keeper.
