Big Keyboard is trying to force an AZERTY phase-out
This drove me nuts on bol.com until I figured out you have to set your delivery country to Belgium, otherwise you run into this shit over and over with dutch resellers that won’t deliver in BE.
This belongs in the r/facepalm sub
NL-NL in plaats van BE-NL I assume?
Heb het ook al meegmaakt met andere producten. Product beschikbaar in NL, maar hopeloos uitverkocht in BE. Levering dus niet mogelijk.
Is omdat de onderaannemer aangeeft op niet in België te leveren voor god-weet-welke reden. En gezien Bol de onderaannemers uitmelkt zover ze kunnen, kan ik hen dat niet kwalijk nemen.
ik heb al meerdere keren overwogen om over te schakelen naar querty
So I just googled it. It turns out we are the only ones, except France that use azerty.
solution: don’t use azerty, it’s made for typing french anyway
This is Belgium in a nutshell.
I have lived in Azerty and Qwerty countries. It is not such a big deal as some want to make you believe. The difference is minimal, you are not gonna use your keyboard 10% faster
I don’t see the reason to use a non-standard keyboard setting like AZERTY as mass-market default keyboard setting. Going standard QWERTY should open up for cheaper products (larger market).
If we are going for non-standard keyboard settiings we should go for DVORAK or COLEMAK, which both should be more optimal than QWERTY/AZERTY/QWERTZ
Or just don’t bother with bol.com.
It’s even worse with a business account. Almost nothing can actually be ordered if you want an invoice.
Azerty users are inferior. Just get in line with the rest of the world, and stop being such a hipster.
