The N key on my phone keyboard. I’m constantly hitting it when I meant to hit Space. So frustrating.

Krudler,

I’ve been thinking for like 10 years that phones should have calibration functions specifically for the keyboard.

I have big hands, I am talking about palm a basketball sized hands. This makes it nearly impossible for me to ever hit the letter I think I’m hitting. Surely there’s enough computing power available now to figure this out.

For me it's "v".

Interesting_Test_814,

Also, the P and M keys when I mean to hit backspace (I use an AZERTY so the M is at the end of the second row right next to L P and backspace). It’s like aah I want to delete the last character not have more Ps and Ms thrown after it !

MrBakedBeansOnToast,

For me it’s the . In the browser on iOS. The spacebar shrinks and gives space to the . button that I then constantly hit by accident

The back button on my mouse. Suddenly the browser goes back one page and forgets where the video on the other page was. Then I have to seek again to figure it out myself.

Seasoned_Greetings,

If you’re like me and think it’s really stupid that a mouse has a mapped “back” key instead of an extra button, you can easily remap it with x-mouse.

It’s freeware, it’s extremely light weight and efficient, cleanly starts on boot with no obtrusive ads or notifications, and has a whole suite of options including active-window-specific remapping.

I use it almost exclusively to remap the back and forward buttons on my trackball.

Q in Minecraft. It throws whatever item you’re holding. Sometimes I’m frantic trying to fight something and I end up tossing it my sword. If it’s a zombie, they can pick it up and use it against you.

Yeah, I got annoyed enough at this that I remapped it to ;.

sparky678348,

I’ve had drop item on P for a decade now for the same reason

SgtAStrawberry,

Nothing like throwing your upgraded diamond sword, into your mob farm. Especially if you haven’t put in the droppers.

HangingFruit, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?
@HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu avatar

There is a 3-2-1 tactic for backups, which should be pretty safe. Lots of articles if you search for it. Basically I backup all my data to two SSDs and one HDD. And once more to cloud, which is iCloud in my case.

AtmaJnana, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

I use Nextcloud to sync them from my phone/laptop/pc to my server then sync to my NAS, then monthly backup to a hard drive, which i rotate out off-site. In progress switching this to another NAS I store off site.

AnokLola, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

Lol, I’ve never heard of anyone clears the storage by a mistake.

corroded, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

Everything gets backed up to a Nextcloud instance running on my main Proxmox hypervisor. Every 24 hours, each VM gets backed up to my NAS. In addition, my Nextcloud VM runs a script every night to upload its entire database to Backblaze.

ads. I have literally never clicked on an advertisement on purpose.

Anytime I go to tap something on a page and it suddenly decides something hadn’t loaded yet and suddenly changes whats under my finger/mouse.

lapbar,

This drives me crazy.

Waker,

I’ve had that in happen to me where I try to click on something and it opens a new page. I go back to the previous page. Aim for the link I want to click… Press it… refreshClick the wrong one again…

Sometimes this can go on for 3 or 4 times. I feel like I’m going insane when it happens. How can something so simple be so complicated

RanchOnPancakes,
@RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. Urge to kill RISING!

Prismo,

I get this on the web interface of my 3D print server. Occasionally come back in a few hours having printed the wrong file…

morphballganon,

This is how we know human advancement still has potential. Nobody has implemented a solution for this. It could be so simple.

Keep the element where the cursor is in the same spot. Any shifting of other elements above or below, fine, but whatever the cursor is on is locked.

Something loads below? Expand the page down to fit. Something loads above? Expand the page up to fit.

It’s not rocket science, guys.

Rhynoplaz, in Can anyone recommend a very basic calendar program?

I just use Google calendar. It’s on my phone and work computer, everywhere I need.

Almost all the buttons of the YouTube video player in Android, I don’t know if it is a bad design, or I have just stupid fingers, but I always end up touching stuff I don’t want to, even exiting the video sometimes.

charonn0, in Can anyone recommend terrible horror films?
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

Robot Monster is the epitome of a 50’s low budget B-class horror movie.

worf, in What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?

It's a bit overkill but I use Google Photos + iCloud + Local backup to an external HD + Backblaze cloud backup of said backup drive.

Krzak, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

A refresh button when I'm moving around on a map with right mouse button (don't ask me why it's made this way, idk) and it resets all my work done on the map.

Discord voice call just tap the name and tap the call button once in a blue moon.

I’m always so scared about this after having it happen exactly once. Even worse when you hit video call.
