Ideally it turns into such a huge embarrassment that they redesign it completely with complete dust and waterproofing.

How hard could it be to seal the top case of the machine and use optical or magnetic sensing of the keypresses instead of cheap-rear end electrical membrane contacts?

When you pay $3k or more for you stupid laptop it should really at least be able to deal with a spilled coffee cup without drowning the logic board.

yeah they could copy dell and use a maglev keyboard but its gonna be this:

keyboard replaced by a single oversized 3d touch trackpad

you type by varying the pressure on the trackpad - 128 detectable levels of pressure, 128 possible keystrokes

its brilliant in its simplicity

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I could see it working "ok" so long as they have ridges on the edge of keys to help with placement for touch typing. If anyone can polish that turd of an idea to a mirror finish its Apple

it doesn't matter where on the surface you type, it uses predictive deep learning to decide what key you really wanted to hit

if you try to write something negative about apple it will helpfully steer you in a better direction

I don't think web developers would even do the fingerprinting, they're just including goog analytics or w/e and that does the fingerprinting.

yeah, any webdevs who give a gently caress want to stop having their site performance hosed by all the tracking garbage just as much as the users
