If anyone wants to have this style but in an actually usable keyboard, you can buy (at great expense) these keycaps and put them on whatever cherry-mx-compatible keyboard you like:

Here in Germany, the somewhat paradox situation is that the right-wing party AfD has been pro-diesel and anti-ev for a long time, while it's usually the more progressive and/or left-leaning people who have been buying EVs.
But now that Musk has done something which looked very much like a Nazi salute on stage and also meddled in German politics by endorsing the AfD, nobody on the left wants to be seen in a Tesla anymore, while the right-wingers still prefer German diesel cars.

Except for the drifting joycons problems. We had to replace many. Hope Switch2 fixes that drift.
The new one is rumored to feature hall-effect sticks on the Joycons which would hopefully solve that issue.

People are speculating that you can use the controllers like a computer mouse. You can see an allusion to that towards the end of the video.
Yeah, and this might make first-person shooters and some strategy games play a lot nicer if (big if) it works well. Perhaps the next iteration of Mario Maker might also make use of it.
I would like it if there was a hard mode, where every wrong keypress would spawn another enemy.
Perhaps this should be kept in mind while rebuilding all those houses that were lost?

I wonder whether the active ingredient in the betel nuts is the same substance that also causes the cancer? Because if not, maybe the problem could be solved by extracting or sythesizing the active ingredient.

if it wasn't for France having primarily used nuclear power decades ago, Europe as a whole would be in a much much worse state when it comes to CO2 emissions. That makes it abundantly clear that nuclear needs to be a part of the mix when it comes to non-emission generating energy production.
Let's see... nuclear power is super expensive, relies on finite uranium resources and there is no safe solution to store the waste. Do we really want to rely on this?

TLDR: it would be very hard, perhaps next to impossible to create one, and then you'd still have the issue how to convince people it's real, given that the existing ones are pretty well documented and accounted for.
