The only real solution is to make this an extended maintenance task. The batteries are cheap so an alert every 4 years is likely sufficient to replace the battery before it dies. You could do it every 2 or 3 years instead at your discretion.
Just spray them with a hose
You missed the memo!
Logitech G400ish.
I cannot recall the exact model anymore. After I lost the second pair, I was in a spot where I didn’t really need headphones anymore, so I can’t check.
I had that headset. First lasted 5 years, second about 1 year. Not a defective product, just a dog. Good headset.
So I have been unable to quickly confirm this on the post office directly, but the commonly cited rule online is quoted as 917.243(b).
If we can believe the multiple sources and the rule hasn’t been changed, I recalled it a little incorrectly. Using such a letter as a label is legal but if they deem it an improper usage, like directly mailing a brick with the letter taped to it, they reserve the right to just dispose of it. No trouble for the sender though, so it can’t hurt.
It’s not legal anymore but that doesn’t mean you’ll get caught
It’ll stick anyway because Microsoft is not about to let all that data go. It’s great for training better AI and for advertising, and those seem to be the only businesses in big tech lately.
Like that, but filtered through an AI.
Features: questions like “Hey, where’s that file I worked on last week”, “What was that recipe I found the other day” or “hey can you pull up a copy of this document from 3 days ago so I can compare them” all work. Its nice to be able to just do that, and you can apply all the normal AI editing things to them, too. They’re all available.
Downside: a black box AI system the user doesn’t have full control over has the right to record literally everything you do on your computer. They promise its local, for now, but not only is Microsoft not trustworthy in that regard, even if they’re honest we don’t know if or when they’ll change that policy. I would not be surprised if the next step was “A small amount of none identifiable information is transmitted to our servers” snuck in, and they used that permission to have Microsoft Recall answer queries for advertisers directly, technically without ever identifying you. Advertisers could directly ask your own computer for all the info they’ll ever need.
And, yes, Mac still has Time Machine. Linux has its own version, too. Both are very handy and I’ve used them each personally. In my personal opinion, a basic search with time machine does enough of Microsoft recall’s job that I’m not going near it, but honestly at least you’re getting functionality out of them selling your data, so it could be worse.
My state banned billboards for the same reasons.
It’s a really good reminder when I’m ever in another state that things like that just… Aren’t needed.
The advertising thing is a slippery slope, and it’s OK for people to draw the line for how far down the slope they’re willing to go higher up than you would. It’s also OK that your line comfortably holds a 2-second ad.
No position here is unreasonable, and everyone should keep that in mind.
I liked tiberium wars.
One of my favorite games actually.
Yeah that’s right. No routers needed.
All local wireless gameplay on the DS is the same ad-hoc networking, too. Some games, like Mario kart, could use ds download play which is the same thing but a host would send over full game data before playing, too.
The 3ds also used it for local streetpass.
Nintendo experimented with it a bunch, honestly, although I always felt it was relatively unexploited in the ways they did. DS download was cool though because it was a mobile console’s split-screen gameplay, instead of selling you 4 games to let 4 people play.
DS had full WiFi, just nothing to do with it unless a game needed it, but yeah pictochat did use that receiver. As far as I know it was a proprietary protocol so not actually WiFi, but same antenna and bandwidth and everything.
I really think that everyone really had trouble with the DS microphone rather than the flute challenge itself. It came pretty easily to me but I doubt I’m a particularly expert mic blower, so I can only think my mic was a fully functioning one and people like you got a much harder challenge.
Both!
Disks are for games I want to be able to pull out of a box 10 years from now and go “oh man I remember this”. I have the box from a DSi that I filled with GBA games, and a shelf for Switch and PS4 games that, when they’re retired for something else, it’d be nice to come back to once in a while. My daughter has gotten into my GBA games lately, so that’s been nice.
PC games, they’re so much more available. Steam is steady, GOG is steady, I feel I can leave it to them to keep and I’ll have any particularly treasured games 10 years from now, anyway.
Obviously you need a bluray player per disk and then RAID them together. Simple. Also a lot of extension cords and USB hubs to coordinate all that.
Yeah but 2e is the newer one, and is default now. Assuming 1e is like assuming 4e for DND, it just doesn’t make that much sense.
If the chart was gonna include 1e, it would need to say so explicitly.
All we’d really need to do that is just make it a law that contracts aren’t exclusive.
If shows were sold to multiple streaming services legally, then those services would compete based on the actual service they offer, and not the content they have.
In other words, make streaming services the customers for shows, instead of individuals, and then let people be their customers.
As it is, a streaming service is pretty comparable to a car dealership.
Well they still have a finite life and are less replaceable than a battery. Even if it quadrupled the lifespan (which is a reasonably generous estimate given OP’s 4-year duration and wikipedia telling me supercapacitors last 10-15 years), it would still eventually need to be replaced and that would generally require resoldering it.
I think a much better solution is 2 battery slots, one to be a backup battery, unused, and then when needed, an LED on the mobo can be turned on. Honestly OP could jury-rig up a similar system if he wanted to, although it’d be a bit ugly and anytime something is jury-rigged I don’t really think of it as reliable.
