Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.

Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?

Trackball gang! There’s dozens of us. Dozens!

And the uncanny CGI…

I remember that post from slazer2au… https://lemmy.world/post/19338754

When we talk about 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz the devices don’t operate at exactly that frequency, but within a band more or less on that number. For example 5 GHz is actually a set of channels between 5150 and 5895 MHz.

Why isn’t there a 3Ghz, 3.5Ghz, 4Ghz, etc?

Technically there’s 802.11y (3.65 GHz), 802.11j (4.9-5.0 GHz), etc. It’s just that several of these bands cannot be used universally across the globe, because they may be reserved for other purposes. By and the bands that end up being used are ones that don’t require licensing to operate.

This so much. Lists make content filtering so much easier, both foot organizing as well as for filtering.

Finding new ways in which the environment (or your own actions) can kill you in Noita is very satisfying.

The most likely explanation for requesting a video is to weed out low quality AI-generated “vulnerability” submissions that hallucinate code that doesn’t compile or APIs that don’t exist. In that context a 1 minute video showing that the report is viable is not much to ask for.

Blood Drive was everything the trailer promised.

As a general thing, any Kurt Russell movie directed by John Carpenter was [according to them] a pleasure,

I can believe that, especially for Big Trouble in Little China

A lot of the extra value in something like a YubiKey is that they’re tamper evident.

Also any process can potentially read data off a USB stick once it’s mounted. With a FIDO2 key reading it requires a physical action.

Fight or Flight

Just because a game is old doesn’t mean it’s not fun. How old are the board and card games again?

Other kinds of severe weather are predictable, whereas there’s a big difference between “this pattern could develop into a tornado over the next half hour, batten down the hatches” and “A TORNADO HAS TOUCHED DOWN NEAR YOU, GET TO A SHELTER WITHIN THE NEXT MINUTE OR YOU’LL DIE!”

Icewind Dale did the same with Baldur’s Gate. Not just the UI, they blatantly reused a lot of the assets too!

This is pretty good! One thing I would suggest though is adding a “choosing an instance” subsection to the intro, specially clarifying that some instances are better suited than others for certain people, based on their primary communities.

Based on other films that had late sequels: they’re the parents now, all boring and business like. Their kids are the ones who get into hijinks, but the parents need to reignite their sense of wonder and adventure to rescue the kids.

I think that covers about 80% of the required sequel tropes.

I haven’t read the Tiny Pointers article yet, but the OP article implies that the new hash tables may rely on them. If so, then the blocker could be the introduction (or lack thereof) of tiny pointers in programming languages.

Keychron keyboards are solid and maintainable, and available in Canada. Pick a model that supports swapping switches, and start with brown switches perhaps - they’re on the more quiet end of the spectrum, but common so you won’t break the bank. Then over time you can customize it as your budget allows - different switches if browns are not the right fit for you, keycaps of your preferred colour, etc.
