My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.

You're supposed to clean your keyboard?

I bought one with lights and it's a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 8 points 5 hours ago

How are your pubes getting near your k--

wait, no I don't want the answer to that question.

There were two HDMI ports. (I selected the correct one)

Just try to clean the keyboard on a MacBook, though. If you shut it down, it will start back up again as soon as you start pressing keys 😅

Just open up notepad, start cleaning, and then use the resulting document as a word finder puzzle. Hell, if you're really lucky you might write the next best selling novel.

They told me it was already published by Shakespeare.

Wouldn't recommend this. I mean, it was publishable, sure. But there were tons of spelling errors.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 17 hours ago

Bah! That's what editors are for!

Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.

My dumb ass just went and tried to clean my screen before I read your comment

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 35 points 18 hours ago

Did you put it into screen cleaning mode first?

This was incredibly confusing for me because I washed my hands after opening this post. I picked up my phone, and I read your top comment before reading the post, and then I looked at my screen and I actually had water on my screen. I was like, "Damn that is some realistic looking water!" Then I wiped it on my shirt and it disappeared and I got really confused lol

Luckily, my Keyboard is so dirty that I need to pull off all keycaps anyway.

  1. Unplug keyboard or turn off bluetooth.
  2. Clean keyboard.

Unplug the laptop. Clean keyboard.

Or rip it out and clean it.

[–] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Rip and Tear until it is done lol

Unplug it or turn it off if it's wireless. Not that hard.

Just lock the screen. The worst that'll happen is a failed login or switching the keyboard layout or something.
