As a toddler, my granddaughter could mash in my keyboard and turn the display upside down. Did it several times. 😯 Using the mouse on an inverted display to navigate to the setting to put it back was a challenge
Years ago mine managed to rename, save, and close the file of a piece I was working on all by walking on the keyboard.
I returned from a break and it was ...gone. Finally found it named "fj8j4kgdfgsfb" or whatever, buried in a folder. Cat had taken to walking on the keys but that was ninja level.
Sounds like your problem is having a laptop with such a button in the first place. (Having never owned such a system myself, I'm finding it difficult to discern the point of doing so, short of constantly holding a baby or toddler while working or surfing.)
I was confused by this for a while too, but I think it's because it's a flip-book style that folds around to become a tablet. So potentially you might want to be able to hold it without activating the trackpad. Might also come in handy with an external mouse that's malfunctioning.
Mine has an uncanny ability to hit the combination that flips the screen upside down. You would think this would be impossible, or at least very unlikely. And yet.
The things that my cats have made my laptop do that I cannot replicate… it’s honestly embarrassing. Once I came back to the calculator taking up the entire screen somehow.
Our second dog is an electronics savant. When she steps on the remote it turns the tv on or changes what we are watching. She can make phones and iPads do unspeakable things. If we let her loose at NASA the astronauts would either already be home or 🤷🏼♀️
Put paw in human's mouth when you're asleep
Drag other cat out of litter tray in mid-business
Use carpet as bog roll to wipe arse
Try to drink from flower vase
Trip humans up whilst descending staircase
Sit on toilet cistern and watch humans doing business
Threaten to shite and enjoy human meltdown
If you have an old keyboard, set it near you, and the cat will lay on that one. They’re just trying to bond with you by doing the same thing you’re doing.
There are some that use AI models and stuff, camera recognition… It’s a growing sector of development and obviously enough people have a problem with it to build applications… And train machine learning algos O_o
My brain immediately envisioned a large laboratory filled with all manner of cats and keyboards, with a giant rack of servers busily churning over the raw data into a model. lolz
Once you see it in your minds eye you can’t unsee it.
Don't download it lolz, it's sorta an old piece of software that was designed to detect cat input. It's more of an... amusement. There are lots of similar projects on github, it was the concept that is amusing.
Mine LEAPS onto my Bluetooth keyboard and *always* manages to land in a way that switches it to a Greek(?) layout. The only way to reset it is to restart the whole PC. 🫠
