Maybe this has been mentioned already, but they seem to have some special integration with the Google Assistant. As far as I know there are currently no alternatives that allow you to e.g. perform a web request for any arbitrary voice command. And you can use arguments in voice commands. You can even override the (ever growing) reserved assistant commands by prepending 'please', I think.

Apparently it's pretty difficult to make a keyboard that works correctly, because in case you're wondering whether to go for a Dell instead: they have similar key repeating issues on various (high end) laptop models.

The party host is not using bcc because he/she wants everyone to be aware of who has been invited to the party.

I guess it boils down to your default usage of email; I've never had an email client before Inbox that does 'reply all' by default.

Been thinking of switching back from Inbox to Gmail for one single annoying and IMO stupid design decision: if there are multiple recepients for the email the main reply button will by default perform a reply all. Had me look like a dork a few times, replying to everyone that I can't make it to a party or something.

Anyone else been bitten by this?

So how about this: the influencers on Snapchat are all recording themselves most of the time. These glasses did nothing to help with that particular and most popular use case.

I feel really weird for being the first to bring this up, it seems pretty obvious to me the main reason these glasses weren't going to catch on.

I don't think groups was that successful, was it?

"Purchase process research showed it's not a top buying consideration, and anecdotal information indicated that actual usage was not high."

Anyone else surprised they're making this decision partly based on 'anecdotal information'? Or would it be explicitly phrased this way to prevent people from suspecting spyware in their TV sets?

"Lily is a swan. Lily is white. Bernhard is green. Greg is a swan." -> "What color is Greg? Answer: white"

At the risk of sounding somewhat stupid, but shouldn't this contain "Swans are white" for it to be a correct answer?

With regard to the debounce issue, if you're running Ubuntu you can use dconf to set the slow keys timeout to a few ms (set slow keys to true as well) which will prevent basically all spurious extra keypresses. The theory being that your finger pressing a key sends a 'longer' signal than the bounce that sometimes occurs.

A side affect on my machine is that controlling brightness using the keyboard no longer works (other fn combinations still work) and pressing the power button no longer brings up the logout/suspend/etc menu. Somehow these keys always fire a really short press signal :|

So there's that.

I have the skylake precision 5510; it also has the keyboard debounce issue, and it hasn't been fixed. Contacted Dell, had the keyboard replaced but that hasn't helped. I don't have faith in their ability to fix this - it's been an issue going back all the way to 2009 and affects multiple models (latitude, inspiron, xps, precision)

Used an external keyboard for the first few months, so money back is not an option anymore. Terrible experience!

Addressed it? How?

Recently bought a Dell Precision M5510 that comes with Ubuntu preinstalled. Aside from the various linux-specific issues I noticed characters sometimes appearing twice when typing on the keyboard (external keyboard works just fine). A quick search tells me this is an issue with a whole range of Dell laptops; they've been having these problems since at least 2009. The popular XPS 13/15 models are also affected. My keyboard has been replaced, to no avail. Now they want me to send it in, but reports on their forums indicate that doesn't get it fixed either.

This is a warning to all coders/fast typists here: stay away from Dell's laptops!
