The week my home office AC died in July was brutal
Last summer, my portable AC unit gave out right in the middle of a heatwave. It was 95 degrees outside and my upstairs office hit 88 by 2 PM. I tried sticking it out with just a fan for two days but couldn't focus on anything. My keyboard was sticky from sweat and I kept having to change shirts. Finally I gave up and worked from a coffee shop for three days straight. That cost me about $40 in iced drinks but at least I got my projects done. Has anyone else had their whole work setup ruined by bad temperature control in a home office?

Sweaty keyboard is the absolute worst. Can't get anything done when you're just sliding around on the keys.

Nah I actually kind of like the grip it gives me.

Wait, you actually LIKE sweaty keyboard grip? I'm trying to picture that and my brain just short circuits. Greasy keycaps that feel like you're typing on a buttered surface sounds like a nightmare. Does it not leave sticky residue everywhere? I had a buddy who spilled soda on his keyboard once and he said it turned into a fingerprint magnet that he couldn't clean off no matter what he tried. How long have you been putting up with that?
