But a reasonable person would not consider a child capable of driving. An "extremeley advanced algorithm that is better and safer than humans and everyone should use it" is very different in this case. Aftet hearing all the stupid fluff, it is not unreasonable to think that selfdrivong is good.

Norodix ,

That is exacly what they try to achieve, satansmaggotycumfart.

He didnt mean a penalty from the stewards. He dealt the punishment himsef.

Binary wysiwyg is shit for versioning, I hate it. Plaintext is fine but limited. I like both markdown and tex.

Replace the potentiometers. Its a bit of soldering. Its not very hard to learn.

Norodix ,

It literally list the entities that can see your activity. Websites you visit, your employer/school, your isp. It conviniently leaves out the browser from this list. Its very misleading.

Norodix ,

All mobos are a bit different. Best tip: RTFM

Decrease swipe sensitivity, and add vote coloration?

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible...

Norodix ,

I like that it is optional. Would be even better if it was adjustable.

Norodix ,

We all get that the design paradigm is "a secure, sandboxed environment per app". We just know its a retarded design.

Norodix ,

I noticed that since the last update I trigger it a ton. I dont know if it was a feature before that, but now you helped me find the setting, so thans!

How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? ( lemmy.world )

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn't matter if it's first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it's just comfortable to me. However I've noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to "give out" over the course of a couple months. For instance I'll be pushing it forward...

Norodix ,

It happens because from normal use the potentiometer inside the joystick wears out. Usually you can buy joystick assemblies for a 1/10 of the price of a controller, so if you can solder its very affordable to repair them.

If you dont want to solder, you can extend their life by applying a bit of contact spray to the potmeters inside after disassembling the controller. But that can corrode other components, so be careful with it. Still beats just throwing them out.

Norodix ,

As far as I know its the graphite parts inside the potmeter that wears down.

Norodix ,

I've seen those in disassembly videos of the steam deck and the switch maybe. But all the standalone controllers I personally have taken apart were soldered in place. eg. xbox360, dualshock4, some generic third-party ones.

Norodix ,

What do you mean lately? I personally repaired a drifting xbox360 controller, and that console was released almost 20 years ago. I assume the controller was just a few years younger than that. I think eventually all potentiometers develop this issue.

Norodix ,

I like the wonky icons on the left a lot. GNU is so unreasonably ugly, I can't not love it.

Norodix ,

Currently and for a looong loooong time, I am waiting for Doors of Stone. I think its just a few more.... decades.

Norodix ,

Occasionally? I think Ive read them about 10 times now. When I was going to uni I read it every day for a few years. Every single time I found a few more details.

Norodix ,

But but but... Consoles are the AAA industry. Indies have a chance because of PC gaming.

Norodix ,

How did that guy shave and change so fast?

Norodix ,

Correct me if Im wrong but only contributors can edit the wiki. If I remember correctly you cant just do a PR to the wiki. Which is sad.

Norodix ,

I find this to be the best keyboard. My language uses a lot of non ascii characters and its so much faster to type them with this!

Norodix ,

I really like gitui. I have used it for a year or so and its very helpful.

Norodix ,

I like walkmaster. Its a fun silly game with weird physics.

Norodix ,

I have to disappoint you, there are people sitting in those evil evil cars. Streets are for people even if they are used by cars.

Norodix ,

Plus when the video is this closely related to the topic of the community, I feel like even advertising your own video is okay.

Norodix , (edited )

I think the first captain marvel was horrible. I think that plays a huge part.

Norodix ,

Wow. That is a silly thing to be pedantic about.

My PC is hacked

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

Norodix OP ,

I have seen those, so first I played along a bit. “Oh, these hackers must be very good. Please help me”. But I had things to do so I cut it short.

I never thought one of them would call me. I’m so much outside the target demographic. They might be getting desperate to find targets.

Norodix OP ,

Is that from one of these “messing with scammers” videos?

Norodix OP ,

No, this is the first time something like this happened to me. i dont even get it. In my country mostly young people speak english. Isnt the target demographic the elderly?

Norodix OP ,

I didn’t have too much patience for him, but he was totally sending me to eventviewer!

Norodix OP ,

Good idea, I submitted.

First test of my openffboard build with power ( vimeo.com )

A quick test, without a wheel attached to the spindle, of the openffboard running on Linux in BeamNG.drive. It took a while to get here as I’m not very knowledgeable with motor drivers but it seems to work so far....

Norodix ,

That is awesome, I have not heard of OpenFFBoard before. Looks great.

Norodix ,

I thought so too. It exceeded my expectations. There. Now I ruined it even more for you.

C4 the caretaker

I just learned about a driller trick. I saw another player dig a tunnel up above the caretaker and drop a c4 on its head at the start of each phase. 2 c4s shut down all the vents in a few seconds. I tried it myself and it totally feels like cheating. You can basically skip half the fight this way. 1 supply pod right next to you...
