Just pop the letters into the QWERTY format, and then from the keyboard/mouse pane of system preferences change the keyboard to English US (or whatever you want). I bought my MB in the US (and live in the UK) so I just switched it. I was too lazy to find a 3 key with a ? on it though:pp
You bought a MBP with qwerty french Canadian keyboard in the us?

Lol no. My post made no sense at all though :pinch: :p

What I meant to say was that my using a KB from the US, but with a UK setting meant that if he moved the keys of his MBP around, he could use it as normal (after changing the language in the settings).

Slight Update:

Alu MacBook

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz

2GB Ram

160GB HD

Nvidia 9400M

OS X 10.5.5

Vista SP1

Basically, the entry stock one. I have a hatrid of backlit keyboards, so I decided to take the buy-low-and-upgrade route - I have a 500GB hard drive and 4GB of DDR3 on the way (the crazy thing is that it cost me ?190 for the ram and hdd, which makes this one - 2.0ghz, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD and no backlit keyboard ?10 less than the high end MacBook, and I have a spare 160GB HDD and 2GB of ram).

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By duhk · Posted

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • Phone Dilemma

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
