1000-key Emoji Keyboard Is As Crazy As It Sounds
hypnosec writes: A YouTuber named Tom Scott has built a 1,000-key keyboard with each key representing an emoji! Scott made the emoji keyboard using 14 keyboards and over 1,000 individually placed stickers. While he himself admits that it is one of the craziest things he has built, the work he has put in does warrant appreciation. On the keyboard are individually placed emojis for food items, animals, plants, transport, national flags, and time among others.
The faces on the standard ASCII table serve a very important purpose: to let you know that your C/C++ code is outputting garbage, and you need to check your pointers.
"There are lies, there are damn lies, and there are statistics"
Why? What's there to appreciate? A tremendous waste of time and effort? :)
Why? See, right there you used an emoticon. It took you two whole keystrokes.
Tom could have typed it with one!
-- I have monkeys in my pants.
But it would have taken him ten minutes to find the key.
"Wait. Something's happening. It's opening up! My God, it's full of apricots!"
But it would have taken him ten minutes to find the key.
Unless he remapped it to the 1000-key Dvorak Emoji layout.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
