    Pure hyperbole “late stage capitalism”: they’ll have it wired directly into the board. At best it will cover one key chord.

    Even later stage, it’ll send some proprietary data that only windows 11 can interpret. Linux users will figure it out and make use of it, then will be promptly sued out of existence for copyright infringement or something lol.

    Can we get this more dystopian? I’m out of ideas.

      Nah, they’ll send a package to a Microsoft server that’ll then respond with the keybind and open the program

        But you can only press it five times before you have to buy a license to active it.

        Also, if you want to deactivate it you’ll need to purchase a separate license.

        If neither license is purchased, it presents a nag screen each time. 😂

          What, fuck licenses, we’re doing subscriptions here. With multiple tiers, first one just reduces the charge per activation, and the ones after that give you X “free” uses per 12 hours.
