For the minority of situations he thinks the blinker is actually needed.

My friend is trying to save the bulb because it’s not been designed to be replaced, you have to disassemble a corner of the car (Opel Corsa).

my conspiracy theory is that HP just kills mice that are alive for too long

HP is that kind of company.

My right-out-of-warranty Logitech M590 mouse lost its pairing to its USB-receiver upon booting up Windows after using the mouse in Linux for weeks out-of-warranty. I bought another one, and that too did the same the first time I booted up Windows after the warranty had expired.

Finally I searched the issue, and it’s normal. I had to install a non-default Logitech software in Windows and re-pair the apparently broken mice to their receivers. Both mice work again, except the older one’s left button is acting up a bit.

A non-asshole company would have notified me “Your mouse receiver needs an update that requires re-pairing the connection manually. Do you want to continue the update?”. And why the hell would a mouse receiver need an update when the warranty ends?

Obviously the purpose is to make the mouse appear broken with plausible deniability and bluff the customer into buying a new mouse.

Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter

Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planet’s original inhabitants.

Ghosts of Mars received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget.

Ghosts of Mars has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.

I recently installed /e/OS on my phone. It’s based on Lineage OS, which is based on AOSP.

Microsoft will keep stifling competition “until the regulators have their foot on their neck,” argues Cal Berkeley professor

Blu-ray is way better. I checked.

Plain lemmy.world . Now all work, so the issue was a fluke.

That works.

I see this one, but not the other one. Web interface, Firefox, Linux.

Most cameras have native 4:3 aspect ratio. You may want to check the settings and crop later if needed.

To my knowledge, Samsung started this by calling “local display shaped” aspect ratio as “full”. To find the native one without reading the specs, hold the camera still and see which setting includes the most view.

Aluminium conducts better per weight. Copper per volume.

I’m good at finding sources, not citing them properly.

I used to work at a university traffic research unit. I tried making a pedal-electric car but failed.

Luckily we have Podbike: (I like it, but the price)

They should invest more in design for manufacturability to improve quality-per-price ratio.

The little table about cars and trucks compares the crossover speed above which tyre noise surpasses drivetrain noise.

Graph:
Car noise sources, ICE drivetrain with a notchy transmission.

Meaning:
The constant traffic roar in the suburbs will continue, because at dual carriageway speed, eliminating drivetrain noise has minuscule effect on total noise.
