If I could get an OG Xbox duke, but with the modern button arrangement (bumpers and triggers), I think I’d be in heaven

Well this will hopefully be a nice little performance boost for the Steam deck down the line

Surely the multiple accounts with single calendars use case is more common than optimising for the many calendars in a single account case?

Probably a bit of personal bias in this, but I figure one of the most common multiple calendar situations, where you’d regularly be creating events on both, is a personal and work account each with their own calendar?

Fun fact it’s always had undo if you switch to the Japanese keyboard

I have absolutely no idea why that’s the only way you’ve been able to do it until now

timey rubber water bottles for bed use

So in the UK we just call these “hot water bottles”

Which I’m just now really thinking about as a term and on reflection it’s a pretty rubbish name for them

Yeah, 9v at the very least, but 15V would be a useful option too.

I’m also just now realising USB-PD doesn’t spec for 12V which feels like an odd omission

Edit:

From the article:

Sure, it wouldn’t be much harder to add support the other voltages offered by USB-C Power Delivery, but how often have you really needed 20 volts on a breadboard? Why add extra components and complication for a feature most people would never use?

My friend, you write for hackaday, this is a weird take

Tbf, these are slightly different things, the one in the OP hooks up to the standard power “rails” on a breadboard. You don’t need to buy a special one with markings specific to a pi or Arduino (or just learn the pin outs). OP’s also has the benefit of not taking up half a breadboard like your example.

Not saying more similar things don’t exist, but for the example you’ve given I think there’s significant enough differences for them to have distinct use cases.

Agree with what another comment said though in that it would be good to select for higher voltage than 5V.

I mean it’s a terrible movie so don’t take this as a positive review, but:

Bruce Willis drove a car through an airborne helicopter in Die Hard 4, there’s always a way with enough pent up vengeance.

Oh, well I guess I hope this mod gets nonviolently hit by a car

I think I’m very similar to you

I want to have a feed of topics I’m interested in, very rarely do I care about a specific individual, and the case that I do it’s probably because they’re a local restaurant or something like that, basically all I use Instagram for is a glorified photo menu for food I might want on a given weekend

People, if you’re not archiving the stuff on the internet you really care about, you’re really going to miss it when it’s gone—and more often than not it is “when” and not “if”.

You can get a 8tb external HDD for about £100 (and obviously smaller for a little bit less). It’s not an ideal preservation solution but it’s better than nothing (obvs set up a proper NAS with redundant storage if you’ve got the desire and money).

Niche TV shows, weird websites, helpful YouTube videos, Wikipedia (yes you can download Wikipedia), whatever it is, it’s really not much effort to make sure something you might miss won’t disappear without a chance for you to save it.

And use the rest of the free space on the disk to back up important stuff you’ve only got on a cloud storage (or even just local to a single device). Don’t only keep your photos in cloud storage.

Well although he was right, I don’t think he could have drawn this about COVID in 2019, I don’t think anyone saw it coming at that point. Probably was more based on how things were already going

I’ve got an undergraduate masters (graduated over a decade ago), I don’t think I’d have got much other than stress and more debt if I went for a PhD and have enjoyed my jobs generally following university.

I’d say I’m pretty happy with how things have gone. Though if I had the option (somehow without much financial and time impact) I’d probably take random masters courses every few years because I just enjoy learning.

Piracy is a service problem.

Provide a good enough service and people won’t want to pirate. Anyone that still does in that scenario probably was never going to be a sale anyway.

Provide a bad service and people who would have happily paid get pushed towards piracy. The more people pirating, the better the tools get as you say.

People just want all their shit in one place for a reasonable fee.

It’s not rocket science, they already were there back when Netflix was new, they just let it get shit.

I’d say I wash a pair of jeans about 10-14 days after first wearing them (often in rotation with another pair). I wash them inside out at 30 degrees and use a laundry sanitiser in addition to a non bio detergent, and hang dry. My jeans are mostly Levi’s 501s (nice enough, not crazy fancy or anything), and I’d say even the pair that’s a few years old now doesn’t look much different from when they were new

Ah yes, I had forgotten this important documentary

EA aren’t interested in anything that they can’t use to manipulate kids into gambling

It wasn’t that hard to cancel. People are just dumb

If a subscription is harder to cancel than it is to sign up, that’s anti-consumer. It’s not really anything to do with anyone’s intelligence.

Mastodon will still be there when this one burns down too

Ur-Fascism was published in 1995 partly to document the modern fascist and draw lines to the originals.

Yes the term was first used a century ago, but unfortunately it hasn’t stayed in the past.
