I tried to repair my DeathAdder but I had the soldering iron too hot and I destroyed the contact pad under the microswitch. 💀 I tried to take some solder mask off the trace and bodge it but I made such a mess that I just gave up on it. With better desoldering technique, it would have been straightforward. Lesson learned!
I actually liked the DeathAdder and have had almost 3 of them. I just mainly meant to knock their build quality.
But that said, the lifespan of all mice is kinda bullshit. I haven’t had single mouse last more than a year in almost a decade. Either the left click starts getting glitchy or the mousewheel’s encoder starts to go. I’ve used Logitech, Razer, Microsoft, Xtrfy. My Xtrfy M42 wireless’s left click is starting to get inconsistent now (holding LMB will randomly release, and the microswitch is bouncing on click).
How many miles do you have on it though? I see these kind of comments all the time on Reddit, and there’s a big difference in how many hours per day people use their hardware for, and how much typing/clicking people actually do.
It’s just another reminder what a greasy company Razer is. They should be avoided because their products are mostly crap, sold at high prices. I remember taking apart my Deathadder about 8 years ago after the left-click went on the fritz, and it was the crappiest, low-quality PCB I’ve ever seen in a product. I never bought Razer again after that.
Edit: To elaborate, they could have spent like 5 extra cents to get a nicer PCB, but they didn’t. The mouse was really nice on the outside, but they cut every expense on the inside.

Whisper is the way to go for speech to text (edit: had that backwards). Whisper.cpp is decently fast too: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/releases/tag/v1.7.1 Get the binaries from the link that’s on that page (god GitHub usability sucks)
I want to second Pelican for Python. Really easy to set up and get going. No need to learn a complicated templating language (it’s jinja2, which is what everything uses).
yeah, but it’ll be hard to make those Y Combinator vultures rich at that price
No, I don’t think so.
Tinc has weird limitations and Wireguard completely obsoletes it. There’s zero reasons to ever consider using Tinc when Wireguard exists.
How are the alternatives any better? Download a DEB that executes arbitrary code, signed with some .asc that’s sitting in the same webserver? Download an EXE?
Your comment is so rambley that I can’t understand whether you’re criticizing the distribution method or the packaging. Both of those are very different in terms of attack surface, if you’re talking about supply chain attacks.
The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it’s the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It’s just great, perfect length.
The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It’s just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.
I could be wrong here, but I think the common interpretation here is wrong. The risk is not that the wires overheat and cause a fire. The risk is that the card draws too much current from a single 12V power rail on your PSU, sustained for a long time, and that burns out the power rail on your PSU.
I have a 6950 XT that I used with a 850W PSU that was connected incorrectly according to the diagram, with multiple connectors coming off a single rail. After about 6 months, one day my SSD stopped working, and after some tinkering, I realized that if I plugged it into a different 12V connector, it started working! I had burned out one of the 12V rails on my power supply, and I strongly suspect it was my incorrect wiring into my 6950 XT that caused it. (edit: I got a new PSU and never looked back)
I haven’t tried it personally, but Mox looks like a nice modern mailserver. It might do what you want.
This looks like absolute garbage from the trailer, lol. The most bland art style, characters without character, terrible CGI in the trailer with bad animation and lack of effects… why even put this out? Gotta show the investors you’re doing something?
If this is how bad the CGI trailer is, I can’t imagine what the real game is going to be like…
I’m a huge Doom (1/2/3/2016) fan but I’m not sure how I feel about this. Eternal just seemed like more or the same so I never even bothered playing it. The Dark Ages is starting to feel a little too Anime and just outside the whole space-based Doom universe. This just doesn’t seem like Doom to me and the gameplay looks like more of the same basically from the trailer.
Every time I look at this, the value proposition makes no sense to me. The DIY V1 and V2 only have instructions for adding a single HDMI input port (??), and the V3 and V4 are like $350 CAD, which is way more expensive than buying a used KVM on eBay. What am I missing?
Thanks, I appreciate the tip! I will give that a try next time (maybe I’ll do this Xtrfy mouse soon). I also got solder braid and a flux pen to help too, in addition to the solder sucker I was using before.
