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...

A percentage of income still isn’t equitable though.

If you’re destitute a week’s income means you starve.

If you’re a millionnaire a week’s income stings bit doesn’t affect much.

If you’re a billionnaire there is a good chance you don’t technically have an income, and if you do you can lose half of your wealth without feeling it.

I’ve had to do a lot of Jira captchas over time. They were so horribly ambiguous that I had a failure rate of about one in two. So I tried the audio captcha and was met with the sound of a demon being murdered and nothing else.

I can hardly claim to know enough about captchas to weigh up the cost / benefit, but I was delighted to come across a captcha that didn’t try to force me to train an AI

My Galaxy S2 actually had more updates than it could handle. While the last useful update had already slowed down the phone somewhat, the last available update was actually completely uninstallable - the portion of Google play services that was required to be installed on the system memory was larger than the entire system memory.

I more than doubled the useful life of that phone by switching to LineageOS / microG.

Chip support is definitely an issue with these devices, but it’s Google that’s running the treadmill.

I can’t speak to your other requirements but the Nokia brand has a couple of repairable phones as a result of an ifixit partnership.

As Linux Phones they’re a bit more niche but the Librem 5 and the Pine Phone/Pro are very repairability focussed

The meat is beef mince or minced beef (not ground). It’s formed into and cooked as a patty, which is one component of a delicious hamburger.

I think most people would say yes to “is a burger a type of sandwich” but that’s a very different question to would you call a burger a sandwich, which an Aussie would not.

I’ve got two Linux boxes that I got new, different, wifi cards for recently. Turns out both those cards have the same Intel AX200 chip which has had a variety of problems causing frequent dropouts that the community has slowly nutted out since I’ve had them, including requiring a kernel patch.

The two big ones are a faulty default power saving mode, and problems talking to a Wireless n router when in WiFi 5 mode.

This is definitely a feature that needs to be an addon rather than in core Firefox, as it could easily interfere with users who organise tabs in different ways (e.g. Tree tabs)

Missed the most important paragraph

Many of NATO’s 31 allies are parties to the Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, which was aimed at preventing Cold War rivals from massing forces at or near their mutual borders. The CFE was signed in November 1990 as the Soviet bloc was crumbling but was not fully ratified until two years later.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

Peertube is a federated video sharing tool. I think the idea is generally that you host your own videos and federate to get viewed.

If you want to check out what’s generally available Sepia Search is pretty much the canonical search of federated peertube.

For an example of a general purpose instance that people can upload to, check out TILVids

For an example of a special interest instance, check out Blender Videos
