- Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate 1 week ago:
Agreed. I generally use wired mice, but recently went wireless. Wireless headsets otoh are much better than wired for not getting that cord in the way or tangled up. Downside to wireless isn’t so much the dongle, but the fact that many are going to proprietary batteries. That’s BS because if you can’t get a replacement it makes the device a throwaway.
FWIW the 903 works as a mouse via the dongle or via the USB charging cable, so that’s decent.
- Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate 1 week ago:
I’ve got a big range. From the “Pebble” type to the boring M3255 or M705 to the newer G903 and a few more in between I’ve forgotten. Wired and wireless. I’ve got Razers and a few others mixed in. The worst issue I’ve had with any of them is Linux not wanting to play nice with the older wireless dongles and Razer’s absurd software package.

Bizarre. I’ve been using logitech mice for over a decade. Never had that issue, and I have several different models, from regular to gaming.

Just make wikipedia full of AI content. (/s)
Pretty telling that AI will use most any shitty source besides one that is actually a pretty decent summary of sources.

Both “problems” I’m happy to deal with.

Thanks for mentioning microWin. A tool I didn’t know I needed. I figured none had been made since XP’s Tweaks.

Not an employee, but I guess close enough.
- Comment on Companies try to stop online support for CEO killer suspect 1 year ago:
Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.
Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons.
I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.
(They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)

Fml, I did. My fault.

Didn’t bother to check my post history, did you? Same for everyone who upvoted.
- Comment on Is the difference between OLED and LCD models really that big? 1 year ago:
We split the difference and went with QLED. Mainly because OLED is marginally less good in brighter environments, and we get sunlight in the room where the screen is. It didn’t hurt that QLED was a significant cost savings as well. For my viewing, I’m just as happy with the QLED. However, if you’re using it as a monitor where you are physically closer to the screen, OLED contrast may serve you better.

- Comment on Which James Bond movie do you consider the worst? 1 year ago:
The Brosnan ones were some of my least favorites. The Connery Bond films were campy and silly fun, but you didn’t need to take them seriously. The characters and gadgets were the fun parts. But then we get to the Brosnan ones and the FX wrap the needle past silly fun to just ridiculous, like the helicopter chopping its way down the street. I also found the pacing off and the sequences seemed really choppy, so it was just bad storytelling, too. Next least favorites were the Dalton/Moore films, but I quite enjoyed Walken as the villain.
I’m mixed over the Craig Bond. I really like the refresh; the more serious tone, the more brutal face of these films. This Bond is much more cynical, unhappy, and troubled. Unfortunately the humor isn’t there anymore, and the introspective parts of the character can be helpful as much as they are unnecessary sometimes.

Yep. I never buy on launch. Just wait a few months and the price comes down, especially if near a holiday you’ll get a sale. Also the bitchfest about the game bEiNg LiTeRaLly UnpLaYAblE!!1!1 because of problems has died down after a few patches.
- Comment on Funny how it became bathroom use and imaginary things drag queens do... 2 years ago:
I don’t deny that there are potential side effects. However, when one person knows multiple people who have suffered some ill effect it’s obviously not about the science. By that same token I could apply my logic that I know zero people who have had any serious side effects.
I actually just suggest that they drive without seatbelts seeing as the odds of getting in a serious accident are so low in their daily life if they want to refuse the vaccine based on potential side effects. Hemming and hawing usually follows.
- Comment on Funny how it became bathroom use and imaginary things drag queens do... 2 years ago:
Yeah this one is more than a little irritating. I’ve encountered too many people who know someone who has someone in their life that was adversely affected by the vaccine. Heart attacks, strokes, nerve issues, whatever. But when you press them for the details there’s always something else, like the person has diabetes, had a bunch of age-related diseases, etc. But there’s no way those things had anything to do with their poor health…no, it has to be the vaccine. Or maybe the even got covid, but refused to get tested.
- Comment on Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam 2 years ago:
Hah, that first quoted review is like playing Elite Dangerous. Really love that game. However, Starfield doesn’t have VR, so I’m not interested in going down that path. VR in Elite (except for ground ops) is amazing, and a spaceflight/sim absolutely should have a VR option IMO.
