This is not how umlauts and layouts work

That one works as well, but I dislike the way quotes work on that keyboard. I never got used to that.

Yes, as long as you have the [;' keys it will work just like it does with the German layout.

Even if you didn’t have those keys, you could also use AltGr + a, AltGr + u andl AltGr + o for the Umlaut variants. I like to use those much more, because they seem much more logical to me Ü. That isn’t possible with the default German layout, which is a shame. I like the German (US) layout much more because of that.

If you use the keyboard for desktop mode:

1. Open system settings
2. Navigate to “Input Devices”, “Keyboard”
3. Go to the “Layout” tab
4. “Configure Layouts”, then “Add”
5. Add “German (US)”
6. Switch the layout on the “Taskbar” on the bottom right of the screen.

You can then use Umlaute like on any German keyboard, plus on the “a,U,o” keys themselves when you press AltGr (right alt). Any Sonderzeichen are like in the American layout. If you want to change that just use the normal German layout instead of German (US).

There is no way to change the layout of physical keyboards in the gaming mode. Those settings don’t change anything in the gaming mode and but the gaming mode settings only work for the on screen keyboard.

Bonus Umlaut of the day: Ö

Are those cameras in the retail space? There are cameras at public spaces, whether it’s Walmart, the DMV or the foyer of a police station. They aren’t there to surveille employees, they are there to prevent or record crimes.

People here are advocating to have cameras in office spaces, to specifically surveil employees. What the fuck is going to happen for people in home office? That’s illegal af, at least where I come from. And who is going to monitor these cameras? The local sheriff’s office? And who is going to review all that footage?

So do you think employees being recorded by their employers is ok as well? Because it isn’t. Having to live in constant surveillance is a mark of authoritarianism.

It’s because people aren’t wired that way. There’s a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.

The idea behind it is that people make up “reasons” (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can’t just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.

That’s why Covid can’t have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can’t be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!

I have a 5700 xt as well, paired with a 5600X. The game runs perfectly well. I honestly had more issues with stuttering in BG3.

Society has to pay any healthcare stuff that’s caused by smoking. An earlier death and the resulting savings for the retirement fund is not enough to outweigh that.

I’ve heard “My dad is a lawyer” works for some people, but YMMV

So you bought then back in June 1933 and didn’t have the heart to throw them out?

I alegedly YouTube music and premium is super cheap if you VPN from Argentina or türkey. At least that’s what I heard (alegedly)

I’d say standing 1m in front off a bass wall with your friends at 5 in the morning.

Das ist im Deutschen definitiv ein schwieriges Thema, besonders nachdem die Frauenrechtsbewegung hierzulande so lange für die Sichtbarkeit von Frauen in bestimmten Berufen gekämpft hat. Aber ich muss sagen dass die Amerikaner da die bessere Lösung gefunden haben. Es verwendet einfach kaum jemand die explizit feminine Form. Stattdessen wird mit einem “female rapper, male nurse, police officer|woman|man” qualifiziert worum es sich handelt.

In der deutschen Sprache haben wir aber eben die Artikel und solange die da sind, schwingt bei “der Ingenieur” eben immer unterbewusst mit, dass es sich um einen Mann handelt. Wenn wir Deutschen uns mit diesen ganzen Artikeln eine so komplizierte Sprache gönnen, dürfen wir dann halt nicht meckern, dass Gendern auch kompliziert ist. Haben wir uns sozusagen selbst eingebrockt.

German here. Nobody ever uses SMS, literally nobody. They are only used for 2fa.

Let’s be honest here. The amount of people this applies to is miniscule.
