Later today, I’ve promised to help someone with an unspecified problem with their laptop running Windows.

I know sod all about Windows these days, which is still a bit more than they do, but please send me your thoughts and prayers.

(Probably not “just install Linux/BSD”, no ;))

Problem: laptop does not recognise certain keypresses.

Diagnosis: there's rice - yes, rice - under the pertinent keycaps.

Solution: remove rice.

Outcome: laptop recognises all keypresses, and bonus free rice.

No Windows knowledge needed :)

@brunogirin It was hard, but quite white, so... cooked but old?
