AZERTY-BE 🇧🇪 With all the text written in English as it's used by french, dutch and german speaking people. For some reasons most of the symbols are at different places than the AZERTY-FR

I own 3 of those. They are not for PS or XBox but for mostly for PC gaming. They are not Bluetooth, they come with their dedicated USB nano receiver. I don't even trust them to win a championship in "F1 race stars", the arcade F1 game. The wireless is not reliable enough. They eat AA batteries like candy.

Having a second that is not in line with the definition of the second, which if the most metric thing, is an abomination.

My WH1080 weather station has a USB-A connector on the device side, I assume for the convenience of the slimmer profile.

That's the only natural occurrence of that cable I've ever seen.

The other one was a custom board printed in 2001 at the electronics class, where I was some kind of precursor by powering it with a USB cable rather than a bulky lab power supply. As I did salvage the connector it was a A-A abomination but they had that cable at the supermarket for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For our kids, we wrote down a small set of rules :

  • french origin (with my very french and common surname, living a in french-speaking country)
  • kind of rare (I have a very common firstname)
  • that would go well or be used in english as well
  • that would survive the atrocities of the local heavy accent (teachers and so on...)
  • not too long, easy to write
  • aesthetically pleasing when written down

Because a kilo is 1000. That's why you have kibi, mebi, gibi binary prefixes for those times where 1024 (power of 2's) matter.

Still thought about him yesterday night when pouring liquid in the pre-wash compartment before starting the dish washer

It's even worse than that, as we dont say the word for cat, which would be pronounced "cha", but rather "chate". And that the slang for pussy.
