You are absolutely right if it’s the “thumbs up” gesture. I learned the European way, with the fingers curled but not closed and the thumb extended to the outside (right side for a right-hand gesture and left for left-hand) at about a 45-degree angle. This doesn’t really look like the offensive gesture from my perspective but I realize others may disagree. Thankfully, as far as I know, I have never offended anyone doing this.


If I’m dealing with someone who I can reasonably assume is not American it’s palm toward me and thumb out (but not pointing straight up) for one, thumb and index finger for two, and so on. Many American hand gestures are offensive to other cultures and it’s not hard to learn to do it this way.


If it was just plain water the chances are very good it will work just fine if you can dry it completely. Pure water is non-conductive.
If it had additives like flavoring or sweetener there might be some trouble because those could leave a conductive residue. Even in that case the chances are slim that a malfunctioning keyboard would damage your PC. The most likely outcome is that it sends extraneous characters or some keys don’t respond.


I wish I could use it but I can’t. The folks developing UT are awesome but they are a very small group of unpaid volunteers and this stuff is painfully difficult to do.
One of the biggest problems is the lack of VoLTE support for making actual phone calls on most phones. Last I looked (which was admittedly more than a month ago) only a few models supported it, and it is the only supported mobile voice protocol in several countries. You can work around this with a SIP (Voice over IP) account and some geekery but it’s not ideal.
Another issue is very limited software. There just aren’t that many developers creating software for the platform.
I ended up on /e/.


It doesn’t, but if I recall correctly there were a lot of owners complaining that the brushed finish would discolor if you touched it with your hand. Body oils and salt left finger marks everywhere from people touching the car.
I feel targeted by this. Also how did you get into my house?
