I pressed the F12 button on my laptop. I'm not to impressed. It pulled up this screen that gave me some information that I do not care to know.
I also bought myself a 6$ lunch even though it wasn't good for me and I'm broke. But I was hungry.
My risks did not pay off for me this week.
when I push F12 my speakers get louder. I'm okay with this.
I pressed F12 and nothing happened :(
I don't know why. Are you on a laptop? A screen pops up saying Developper Tools with a bunch of sub-menus and such as well as the page layout. It's wierd.

F12 is a lie.
My wifi cuts off if I push the F12 button without pressing the fn button. :P
F12 brings up my opera settings.
fn+f12 does nothing.
F12 does nothing for me either. I haven't taken many risks lately.
Why does this keyboard even have an fn key? There are no alternate options for the fn button to access.
I pressed F12 and immediately I got a high CPU usage warning for Firefox. It is obviously a button of great power.
I keep trying it and every time nothing happens, I'm starting to get really disappointed here. D:
fn f12 is, for me, the scroll lock button. Disappoint.
Samesies. :(Quote:

EVERYONE HOLD F11.
Oh cool where did all this money come from?
fn+F12 is firebug. It probably used to be Expose or osmething before I disabled that trout
fn+F12 on my lappy is skip track.
My computer is backward. The button F12 is on is skip track, but if you want to press F12 you have to hold the function key wtf.
I took a risk today too. I decided to put gel in my hair, and it worked out I think!
F12 at work opens dev tools. Weird.
This is what my laptop does.Quote:

Time machine, or the dashboard or something? It appears to be disabled.) or f5-f6 (keyboard backlighting controls), so if those actually had some useful function assigned to them, I'd rather not have to press Fn.
I do think that more keys need Fns assigned to them, since the button is just right there. Typing Alt+letter famously does alternative characters, and there's no reason why Fn couldn't do the same thing.
I like how I still haven't figured out what "Fn" is.
Function. It opens up alternate functions for certain keys.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks!
Yeah I use the F# ones more. I love F5 for refresh :(
Strange...when I pressed F12 this appeared:

Shiny I care deeply for you but I am going to put you in physical discomfort someday.
Holy smurf, you almost killed me!Quote:

WHOA
You guys, I hit Ctrl+F12 and my browser turned semi-transparent and you could see the icons from my desktop
It was pretty rad
Part of my job is to press F12 on numerous PCs on a daily basis. It allows me to get to the boot menu on the PCs at work, so I can boot from CD, something I need to do to wipe hard drives - one of the many miscellaneous tasks in the Stock Control role.
Then my work here is done. /smugQuote:
