If I had to take a guess, it’s probably the most complex mechanical part in a mouse. The other buttons don’t have the added extra movements. I’ve had the same Razor Deathadder for like 15 years, still going strong. I’m just glad they don’t have actual rolling balls in them anymore.

I suspect this was a contributing factor in the divorce.

Palmer Lucky turning into a Bond villain wasn’t exactly something I expected when I first saw him pushing the original Kickstarter Oculus

Hey, check out Mr. Fancy Pants “former child.”

I loved my Pixel 4a with LinageOS. It was the perfect form factor. Sadly, I had to give it up when my banking app decided that it was exclusively only for Android/IOS and deemed LinageOS to “unsafe” which was bull shit.

I’ve always been secretly jealous of Samsung hardware, then I remember how terrible their software is and buy the newest Pixel.

Yeah, I would at least try a different distro before tossing the GPU

Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I’ve only experienced screen tearing with Xorg. Edit, it’s probably your hardware.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what’s running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

They might get some sympathy from Iran, but the Suadis are too friendly with Trump for any traction.

Vinyl records, analog tube amplifiers, a good pair of speakers 🤌

Honestly though digital compression now is so good it probably sounds the same.

That’s a good point. The model weights could be voltage levels instead of digital representations. Lots of audio tech uses analog for better fidelity.I also read that there’s a startup using particle beams for lithography. Exciting times.

Nice revision. If you’re including TOR I would say Tailscale could be considered for a VPN. I’m hosting a Gitea instance completely for free on their service. It’s on my hardware, but it’s their domain.

I self hosted my own email server for a while. I don’t know how other domain resellers work but namecheap has hardly any info on the whois query. The reason I gave up self hosting email was because all my emails kept going to spam for everyone I emailed. I think there’s a way to advertise your server to mark it as not spam for Gmail, but I don’t remember exactly. Plus incoming email needs spam protection.

Totally agree, but at this point Microsoft is so ingrained in the US federal government that it’s practically a branch of it.

That sounds like a very functional and rational solution to the problem of age verification. But age verification isn’t the ultimate goal, it’s mass surveillance, which your solution doesn’t work for.

I like your boat analogy. It does take more work to keep it running in top condition, and when it’s firing on all cylinders it will run circles around windows. Also, people that don’t have one and talk shit are just jelly.

Moto Droid vibes

Damn that hits the nail on the head. Especially that analogy of watching a robot lift weights on your behalf then claiming gains. It’s causing brain atrophy.
