  • 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.


  • 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.











  • Don’t get an ender unless you want your hobby to be working on the printer. That’s fine, but it’s not the same as having something ready to go when you unbox it.

    Prusa printers are quality and open source; very much worth supporting if you have the money. Your hobby will be printing things for other things if you get one.

    Bambu printers are cheap, but not open source. However, you will spend most of your time actually making stuff instead of fixing the printer.

    Cheap, reliable, open source/modifiable. Pick two.

    Finally someone agrees with me. I swear it felt like I was the only sane person around. The curved edges made no sense design, use, or otherwise.

    I managed to mostly skip that BS by going with phones that didn’t use it, but I still had the occasional misstep whenever using someone else’s phone to check out their photo or whatever.

    Frankly, I’m happy to see it become less mainstream.
