This graphic is a year old! It’s actually seventeen years since that blockade now.
I wonder why some people there might think violence is the only thing their enemy would understand. Really a mystery.

That’s without counting the extra money spent on replacing strings, I’m sure using this kind of thing regularly would seriously shorten their lifespan.
Good lord this makes my blood boil. I’m still in awe of the support being shown by ordinary people around the world these last few months but I don’t think I’ll ever grasp how much hatred is required to keep the machine running.
To think that if history went differently I could just get on a cab and visit the Holy Land like my grandmother did as a kid. Instead I get to watch it get bombed to bits in real time with the excuse that there wasn’t anyone there and if there were any they’re terrorists.

I think we are moving past the outdated genre system and finally finding a way to classify games properly
I’m so glad I nuked my Facebook a few years ago before these companies were paying this much attention to web automation.
I don’t find it particularly funny but the art style is cool.
I remember people recommending decentraleyes for some time and then I remember there being an argument against it. I don’t remember what the problem was though.
One thing this recent ad injection debacle has me worried about is that I’ll open an archived download of a YouTube video and find ads in my files. I have hesitated to continue my personal archival project until I could be 100% sure my downloads are clean, because I can’t go through everything to make sure they didn’t inject a 5 second ad somewhere.
Oh, I’m well aware. Every few months I search online for used Classics in working condition in my area because that’s a project I’m interested in, but I haven’t committed to it yet. Maybe I should as they are apparently getting expensive and harder to find everywhere.
I don’t think I’ll ever be a Mac user but I’ve seen how fast these newer MacBooks edit video on battery power without breaking a sweat (and without eating through the battery).
People focus on “software magic” with Apple but the M chips are serious hardware that a lot of us don’t take seriously because the company that killed the iPod made them.
If you still think the hardware is pretty good, you haven’t been using their newer hardware.
I think I wrote a comment about this recently, but their newest mouse with a layout I like (G604) was made with terrible soft rubber that is practically designed to disintegrate with use. All their mouse switches are also short life crappy switches that stop working relatively quickly.
Soldering new switches into the G604 is an absolute PITA because it was designed by people who didn’t care for repair. Still doable, just annoying. I just wish the rubber was replaced with the grippy hard textured plastic they used a few years earlier.
At least you only need to use the software at first when you’re setting things up.
I have the opposite problem weirdly enough. I played a ton of Civ V, and have had a lukewarm aversion to Civ VI knowing it would be a huge time sink when I could be playing other games. Such as KSP. Which I also haven’t been playing for the same reason.
I’ve had it in my library from some bundle or sale for years now but it still feels like it’s much newer than it is to me. I’ve just played one or two games of V when I have to scratch that Civ itch.
There’s just too many games and too little time
The buttons on the G700s will also pop eventually. I recommend you learn how to take it apart and replace the switches before they go bad.
The G700s is kind of a pain to disassemble (and there’s a mod to make it easier to assemble and disassemble for the future).
The only thing close to a successor to that mouse is a G604, and not only did it get discontinued in a very short time frame, but it also has cheap switches. My G700s started double clicking after several years of use (I’d like to say 5?) but my G604 started double clicking after like two years. And let me tell you, yes you don’t need to mod it to make the insides more accessible, but the inside is much more annoying to navigate. Several different screw lengths and sizes, a lot of unintuitive plastic interlocking parts, as opposed to two stacked PCBs in the G700/G700s.
I’ve swapped the switches on both with switches made by Kailh that are supposedly much longer lasting. The G604 is basically perfect from a layout perspective (the rubber wears out much faster than the hard textured shell of a G700/G700s though, which I don’t like. I’ve superglued it back into place where it peeled, but really, it’s a shame how even Logitech makes things this low quality now. It’s both good and disappointing that the fixes are very easy, because yes you can fix them, but why the hell is that a point of failure in the first place?
The software was shit and it only got worse. So, you know. No notes there. Praying on my hands and knees for something like QMK to pop up that we can flash all our mice with once and for all.
I thought it was another one of those meme languages at first.
