Tired of bluetooth problems, should I get a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle?
  • Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn't cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

    Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

  • Tired of bluetooth problems, should I get a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle?
  • My wireless g304 has been rock solid for years now. The battery lasts about 48 hours of active use before needing to be recharged. My Logitech ergo lift mouse has been rock solid for the past year as well and it's still running on it's very first battery!

    I bought both for wrist pain reasons and for the most part they have also been very helpful for that too. Part of the reason I went wireless even for gaming is that the cable always dragged and caused issues with the mouse catching on occassion. It's very worth whatever "instability" you might see for any product that moves.

    My wireless earbuds have been rock solid for several years as well. As far as I'm concerned, wireless has been a solved problem for a little while now, similar to printers. There's no point in needing a battery for something that doesn't move, like a keyboard, but damn if it isn't really nice for something that does.

  • If someone doesn't wear a seatbelt and kills another person as a result who is wearing a seatbelt could that person face a manslaughter charge?
  • That's on the driver. If you're driving, you are responsible for everyone in the car and out of it. If you drove off with someone unbuckled, that's on you.

  • Turns out it managed to do it right this time, so, maybe!

  • This is why I still use an Android custom ROM in 2024
  • This is offtopic, but fuck it, might as well.

    Why do you use a digital wallet? For me, money is one of those thing I literally can't allow to fail; growing up poor means it's still a touchy subject. A digital wallet adds extra risk of payment failure everytime it is used.

    So, what does a digital wallet add that makes it worth not just the effort of setting it up in a stock system, but also in a custom ROM where it is actively broken by the app developers as a form of "security"?

    For reference, I still keep cash on my person in case my cards (or their machine) fails.

    I know I posted this on your comment, but I would love to hear everyone's answer to this.

  • "It's kind of remarkable how seldom we stab ourselves in the face with a fork" [Haircut Practice]
  • Oof. I use the fork sideways - the pointy bits never go directly at my face. I'd never thought about why until this post.

  • If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?
  • I've already voted. I don't have the ability to volunteer for anything, so I'm working on removing all the doomer posting and adding blocks on my feeds. No point in stressing about something I have no more ability to help with.

  • Jellyfin 10.10.0 media server released
  • Network paths in libraries have been fully removed and will no longer work. This functionality has been deprecated for a long time, and most of it was removed in 10.9.0, but this removes the remainder. See PR #12446. Third-party clients relying on this functionality should be able to re-implement it as required.

    from the article.

  • Shame about the network location regression. That's the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.

  • Anon gives up dating apps
  • The local city reddit/discord is gonna have regular hangouts if your city is big enough. That's been my go-to starting point everytime I move.

    I managed to get an in-person DND group going by visiting the local game store. There's also the other card / roleplay games available too.

    Depending on your age, there's also the local college groups. You could join a cycling group, or a running geoup. Hell, the queer group in my town has a first Sunday coffee meetup.

    It's easy to shut down any suggestions but damn, if all you ever do is naysay shit, then you're never gonna get anywhere. Do you want to find friends and romantic partners, or do you want to spend your time crapping on online dating?

  • YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"
  • No it doesn't. Future promises are nothing to the now. Just because I didn't add a "for now" to my first comment doesn't mean i'm "literally" wrong.

  • YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"
  • We are starting with iOS and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear, but we will be adding other platforms soon.

    It literally is.

  • Linus Torvalds on the kernel, GenAI, EVs, programming languages and more…[Video Podcast 49:58]
  • It didn't actually. If it had, I wouldn't have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn't exist.

    Ah. I get it. Pet peeves do be the worst sometimes.

  • Going hard at church
  • I want a penis garden pattern shirt in my life.

  • Going hard at church
  • Honestly jealous of that shirt.

  • Does your cat let you sleep/nap not facing them?
  • I've yet to meet a cat that doesn't love a well done headscritch.

  • Which adjective should come first, modular or versatile?
  • To my ears, when I say them out loud, I have to pause after versatile, but not after modular. This makes versatile and modular flow worse than modular and versatile does.

    This also went away after a few repetitions, so it likely doesn't matter all that much.
