The driver situation with Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboards and Windows 10 is horrible, even with the latest BootCamp drivers. Fortunately, a workaround is available, if you're patient.

Pair keyboard once

1. Turn on the keyboard.
2. Press and hold Command + w until the keyboard light begins blinking, indicating the keyboard is ready to pair.
3. Use Windows Bluetooth settings to pair the keyboard, entering the same code (e.g. 123456 Enter) on both internal and external keyboards.

Pairing the keyboard is very trial and error. 9/10 times, Windows will complain that the keyboard is not available for pairing. Just keep trying.

Elecraft KX3 Cheatsheet

The KX3 transceiver is designed for HF amateur band operation. The KX3 natively supports 160m - 6m.

An optional 2m accessory can extend the band support to 2m, though the installation of that accessory is a more intensive, electronics hobbyist task.

WARNINGS

As with all radios, do not transmit when the antenna is disconnected. Avoid touching the antenna or feed line when transmitting. Power down the radio and disconnect the feed line when making antenna adjustments.

How to Disable Android TalkBack

So you're seeing green rectangles everywhere, oh no! You may be hearing a narrator, and none of the UI is working properly. Congratulations, you have turned on Android TalkBack. More generally, this is known as speech over or voice over. It's like hitting the Shift key too long in Windows, with similarly annoying results.

This is unfortunately very easy to do, because there is a stupid, secret gesture for this. As of this writing, the gesture is pressing and holding both the volume up and volume down buttons. But in the future, it could be anything. Whatever the gesture is, try doing it again. If you're lucky, you'll stumble upon the right combination and manage to turn the feature back off.

Rebooting has broken. Rebooting does not fix the problem. There was never a prompt to persist the questionable setting across reboots, but alas here we are anyway.

Swiping and scrolling have broken. You cannot swipe or scroll normally to leave the current application. Nor to activate
