I've been running mint full time for a couple months now and it's been amazing how little i have actually had to do to get the games running.

I still miss the windows 7 glass look. That was peak desktop layout. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

And then they threw all of that good design away for a relatively mid mobile showing.

That didn't make it a bad OS though

Interface design is an incredibly important part of software development. The users weren't wrong when they shunned windows 8, microsoft was wrong for shitting on 30 years of interface development.

I've got a WWII Japanese bolt gun and the action on that thing is just so dang smooth. If the kick wasn't so bad and the rounds weren't so expensive I'd be taking it to the range a whole lot more than I currently do. I really should add a lever gun too.

Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn't cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

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.

That's on the driver. If you're driving, you are responsible for everyone in the car and out of it. If you drove off with someone unbuckled, that's on you.

Turns out it managed to do it right this time, so, maybe!

Why the heck are you giving an llm a math problem?

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.

Oof. I use the fork sideways - the pointy bits never go directly at my face. I'd never thought about why until this post.
