That keyboard layout is stuff of nightmares
Somehow all smart TVs have a similar layout, as it wasn’t hard enough to select letters with a remote.
Can you imagine trying to play a game with WASD controls on that?
At least W and S have been circled for some fucking reason
I assume the reason is cardinal compass directions. (North, south, east, west. N, S, E, W.)
Yes but you didn't consider the fact I'm dumb as shit so
NESW are circled for the cardinal directions
They should have just used a QWERTY keyboard and added and extra N on top for the logical layout of
N̂
Q‹W┼E› R T...
A S̬ D F ...
Z X C V...And why are there two number pads?
Left keypad is for real numbers and the bottom keypad is for imaginary numbers.
Looks like the top one is MCDU. You can do things like type in latitude and longitude coordinates to fly to.
Bottom panel looks like radio tuner, so just for entering radio frequencies and maybe transponder codes.
From other comments it appears this is not a shop. I don't know why ATR would use this design. There are definitely other planes where you can key in radio frequencies into the MCDU.
I'm fairly certain that "Turn the freakin' frogs gay" is a side effect of cell towers. If you open the main compartment on a tower, it's just three buttons labeled:
I'll point out that since most people stopped getting COVID boosters that the second option doesn't do much anymore. We all know the boosters had extra microchips since they naturally degrade in our systems over time.
It's worth noting that you can also use the terminal to download all the data captured by your local "birds".
Also, as much as I shouldn't need to put this... /s
I don't know why, but #3 absolutely sent me! 🤣
Cool, the keyboard has a VW key to activate Fahrvergnügen.
I see you have the keys ⓃⒺⓌⓈ highlighted. Are you manipulating the media, too?
yeah whats up with that? is it a north east west thing?
Probably yes, those are the letters in GPS coordinates they might need to input. However, the standard with global coordinates as two floating point values is that Ⓝ and Ⓔ are positive while Ⓢ and Ⓦ are negative so they could just use that.
Anyway, they should have just used a QWERTY keyboard and added an extra N on top for the logical layout of
┌N┐
Q W┼E R T...
A└S┘D F ...
Z X C V...That makes a lot of sense. I guess in a combat situation it might help to have some distance between the letters though.
I think the current layout cannot be much worse. The positions of the letters don't correspond to cardinal directions at all. In a combat scenario, you don't want to type on a non-standard keypad. To make the NWES keys stand out as they should, they could be mildly arrow-shaped like ⭔ or ⌂. Keys are not easily confused if they have special shapes.

I don't know, but surely you have to rotate the turn switch far away from "norm".
What aircraft is this?
Looks like an airbus. It’s definitely not an A320 so I am just going to guess A380
It’s an ATR
, not an Airbus but almost (Airbus won’t let you fit a non Airbus MCDU).
The best part is that this page is the CPDLC free text page to send data link messages with ATC or company. Someone took the time to write that all page with the spaces etc. That’s dedication.
fake, it's missing the option to cloak Bigfoot
You have to put in the konami cheat to do so
Turning frogs gay is a side effect of the earth flattening drug.
Yes
Thats an always on setting, but if you press the unlabeled button on the left seven times you can unlock catgirls.
The water is turning the frogs gay, not chemtrails. Fake fan. /s
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
