Just in case -

My G600 started double clicking ~2yr ago. I hate replacing things, so I tried a bunch of guides to fix it - opened it, cleaned the switches, soaked them in alcohol, etc. It would stop double clicking for an hour but then would happen again.

Was going to pick up a new one when I read a reddit comment that said it could be static buildup in the mouse & that just spamming both the buttons at the same time for 30s could fix it. I did this and ... it fixed it. I also usually hold the mouse upside down while doing this so maybe it was just dislodging dirt that the alcohol didn't get. Who knows.

In any case, holding the G600 upside down and just spamming r+lclick for 30s generally solves the problem for me for at least a few months. (I've been heavily using the mouse since ~2016) Maybe this helps, maybe not.

Side note - I love this mouse. Tried to switch to a Razer mouse and it broke within 3 months. RMA'd it and the replacement had a bad side button so I just gave up and went back to the G600. It's not ideal for my use case but finding a good mouse does seem impossible these days.
Why Work Together
When I was working as a 'senior' engineer, I was told to work alone. I wondered why, because by now everyone's heard of Agile. This is my perspective on why management insists on silos still, in 2023.
The Framework Laptop 13 uses the integrated graphics in the processor. 13th Gen's integrated Intel Xe is passable for lighter titles like GTA V or CS:GO. Beyond that, it supports Thunderbolt eGPUs. We also have the Framework Laptop 16 shipping late this year that has an optional dGPU.
There is a linux command-line tool for that as well; I used it once a few years ago, but I cannot for the life of me find it now.

This is FUD. Based on both qualitative data - my company, which pays Canadians much less than the cheapest US workers, and Latin Americans less than Canadians - and quantitative comparison of median total comps:

American workers, who think they can live in Midwest on SV salaries are delusional. If they think they can live in Midwest on 80% of SV salaries, time to know that it's not 2021 anymore. Your competition is with Toronto (proficiency of English, cultural compatibility etc) and depending on what your company wants, you are competing with Bogota and Sao Paulo.

>landlords should be too.

There are no insurances where I live that cover against malicious tenants who's pets destroyed your place. Household insurances here only cover you place against accidents (like a pipe bursting flooding the place) or wraths of nature (like a storm breaking your windows) or against burglars breaking in but that's it. So it's up to the landlord to protect himself from bad tenants or they can financially ruin you.

>he problem is that if a landlord insurance policy (or mortgage, or long term lease) disallows pets, the landlord is going to prohibit pets. If such prohibition is void then pets are more likely to be allowed.

And any such insurances against malicious tenants or pets will be expensive and would only be passed on to the tenants in increased rent prices. There is no free lunch here. Landlords aren't gonna take a loss.

I think this page plays down the importance of fire to a healthy redwood ecosystem. The trees seem to depend on a fire running through every so often and burning out the scrub under the canopy.

Of course, this isn't how old-world forests work so when European-Americans started building cabins en masse up in SLV in the 1920's, they put them right next to large trees and we did everything we could to limit fire. While there are a limited number of structures in the park itself, almost 1500 structures were destroyed during the CZU fire in the adjacent communities. My old house was 10 miles away from the park and was across Big Basin Way and Boulder Creek from neighborhoods that were decimated. (TEN MILES from the park and they were still decimated.)

We can't have the same type of design, with houses right next to trees. Once you have people living up there, the likelihood you can convince people to do a "controlled" burn gets pretty low. Then the fuel builds up for another 100 years and it destroys EVERYTHING in its path.

And what do you do for families whose homes were destroyed? Of the nearly 1500 structures destroyed, only a handful of building permits have been issued to rebuild.

This is a great article about how the forest survives fire, but the policy and politics behind how we got to the CZU fire are complex and sometimes pretty subtle.

> Wikipedia stood up for itself

I believe Wikipedia was also blocked for 2 years (2017 — 2019), according to that BBC article.

So I think the question in front of one is: is it better to be shut off (with no guarantee that you will be able to operate there again), or do you stand firm on principles.

In the case of Wikipedia, at least the Turkish Supreme Court sided with them, but if one looks at the trend of diminishing civil and political liberty in Turkey, I think that was partly luck.

Even though Turkey has elections, it is not considered a free society by Freedom House: https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-world/2021
In 2015, I bought a 2500 sqft home in a great school district on 1.5 acres. Zillow says it's now worth $330k, and would need a mortgage of roughly $2800/mo. Six doors down, a neighbor is renting for $2100/mo.

I'm at 2.8%, paying $1100/mo on a 15-year $130k mortgage.

I got lucky. I feel bad for my friends and relatives who did not join the market at the right time.

Reducing the burden for those filing their taxes is nice, but an effect of simplifying the tax code that I am more interested in is that it restricts the power of the government (and so the reduces the attractiveness of lobbying politicians). The complexity provides opportunities for lobbyists to design rules that distort markets in their favour.
I'm a big fan of FTS5 as a cheap/easy way of adding full text search to datasets.

It's not "becoming" a major risk. It already is a major risk:

* As long-term office leases expire, more tenants are giving notice of non-renewal, because they don't need as much space anymore.

* Many office buildings cannot fulfill their monthly debt service obligations if tenant collections drop below ~80% leased, give or take, at the old $/sqft.

* Many regional banks are loaded up with loans to office buildings likely to default in the near term.

* Downtown restaurants, pharmacies, shops, and other retail operations have lost a lot of foot traffic. Many are on the verge of shutting down.

* City governments depend significantly on downtown economic activity for tax collections. Local governments are likely to see a big hole in their finances.

All of this has been on economists' radar for well over a year:

Hi, Leigh here! I created PrintNanny to monitor my 3D printers, with the detection/monitoring system running locally on a Raspberry Pi. I didn't feel comfortable sending camera frames up to the cloud constantly.

FWIW logitech now also offers mice with optical switches, which are claimed to never double click
The buck stops at the top.
There's three ways to resolve this if you're someone with a heavy hand (which you might be).

1. Find a mouse that uses heavy-duty mechanical switches (technically inside the shell, it is possible to use a switch like those used in keyboards, which are designed for more actuations at a heavier actuation weight). This is somewhat difficult, as not many such mice exist.

2. Find a mouse that uses optical switches which are less likely to wear out from use because of no mechanical forces being exerted on the part of the switch that relays the signal. This is easier because most high-end gaming mice are switching or have switched to optical switches.

3. Find a mouse that moves your hand into a plane where you exert less pressure on the switches. I use a vertical mouse, and I have not had any issues since switching, even though it uses the same Omron switches as the mice I kept destroying.
Rossmann mentioned using a user configurable password or encryption key to prevent theft. What did he mean? Did he mean to use a password or key to protect serialization information? But this would still require serialization of parts, which is what the regulators in France are against.

I’m all for protecting a users’ right to repair, but I’d also like to disincentivize thieves from stealing my phone for parts. Both are important to me. Rossmann seems to think that Apple is just greedy and that the solution is simple, but I don’t see a viable solution in his video.

Can someone with a better grasp on this subject enlighten me? Or did I just fall for clickbait?
Google is trying (and failing) to make Android and Google Play or whatever they call it to be more and more like Apple. If I wanted an Apple phone I'd just buy Apple. Which is what I ended up doing. Bought an iPhone 11 ~2 years ago, still going strong on the latest iOS version and I don't really have any reason to buy a new one soon. Fantastic device.

> You might not personally have free electricity, but utilities are experimenting more with time-of-use billing. Hot water tanks allow heating demand to be time-shifted from use.

> The finances clearly don't make sense for you right now, but there might come a time when electricity at some part of the day is cheaper (heating equivalent) than natural gas.

Understood. And yes I can get time of use billing here already. Some of my friends are really into it, they schedule their whole day around it with planning and automation. They watch and analyze the prices like greedy traders watching the stock market lol.

But personally I don't care and I don't want to. I want to live my life as I see fit and I want my systems to adapt to me, not the other way around. I want to shower when I need and wash when I need fresh clothes, I hate planning days ahead of time. So I'm on fixed billing.

Even if time of use billing becomes a mandatory thing I'll just disregard it and do whatever I feel like. My energy use is so low it's never going to be something I want to worry about.

I'd say it's a bit of both. You can build yourself up and find such work in companies which have it. Not switching employers very frequently helps, because building credibility takes time.

After you've built up credibility in some interesting tech, other companies would find you based on your work.

Not sure about negative comments here. You dont like it, dont use the feature! Its not like Google is forcing you to use this. I bet people will celebrate this feature when Apple rolls around implementing it two years from now. I for one, look forward to using this feature on my Pixel as I live in a city where drivers are very aggressive and in general have a disregard for following the rules. I have been in an accident where the other driver outright refused to accept their mistake and made up a completely false story and a dashcam would have proved their fault without a doubt. I did mount a dashcam in my car since then but using the phone would be a much better proposition.
This a really classically difficult political problem of concentrated benefits with diffuse costs. The complication of the tax code comes from a zillion little exceptions added over the years, and every little exception has a beneficiary who doesn't want the existing system to change.

Imagine you're a congressperson trying to simplify the tax code. If you want to remove a single little exception, you're going to piss someone off a whole lot for not much benefit. If you want to do a big refactor and lower everyone's rate while cutting a ton of exemptions, you need to fend off zillions of loud, empowered interest groups.

As recently as 2017, congress tried to simplify the tax code with the TCJA. Paul Ryan and co tried very hard to make the tax code simpler while also cutting rates, and the process failed under the enormous pressure from interest groups. They ended up leaving pretty much every exception in place, and only cutting a few high-value tax benefits (like the SALT deduction) that benefited people from the other political party.

When there's no clear path to actually solving the problem, a hack that makes things better in the interim can be a really helpful solution.
To add a personal anecdote.

I have been saying to my friends for at least 15 years that if they really cared about the environment flushing the toilete using drinkable water and having two showers a day was probably the most stupid thing people could do to not save it.

I've been called names for the past 15 years, until influencers started advocating for cooking pasta using cold water to save energy or selling your old clothes on vinted to make their life longer and everyone is now on board with all that stupid sh*t.

I believe we mostly deserve what's happening and that it's not as bad as it looks, if people won't come out better from this, than we'll have proof that extinction is the solution.

Except the majority of the people on the planet did not contribute in a meaningful way and maybe it's time we put them in charge, instead of us.

We clearly failed when it actually mattered.

OTOH I also strongly believe it's not in human nature to sacrifice, we are good at adapting and that's what we'll do, we'll live in a worse environment for our life but we'll survive and we'll be mostly content nonetheless.
