  • The crap buttons are cheaper. If your product was optimised for price it will have buttons that cost the least

    They're on the top because most users find that more convenient

    They're clicky or linear depending on taste

    The old ones were heavy, clunky, and certainly expensive

  • The word is usually spelt feat when talking about something you did. It looked more like a spelling error than wit

  • We used to call those missile switches. Probably still do

    Ed. A search on my local electronic components shop's site returned nothing on a search, but scrolling the 211 items in category "switches" found a missile switch cover (to suit toggle switches) as #86, so yes, we still do

    Ed the second. Thingiverse shows many printable missile switch covers for diverse switch types

  • Turbo bumped my 8MHz 386 to sixteen megahertz

    It never got switched off, except in some games that a slower CPU made easier (some games back then ran just as fast as the hardware could run them, expecting the computers or turn to be the state of the art) By the time of the machine in the picture unturbo wasn't enough so we used a TSR* program called goSlow to get specific performance

    *Terminate, Stay Resident; a program that could run in the background

  • Midrange might, but mainframe users pay ongoing amounts to IBM for however much compute they use for the life of the machine

  • You can evaluate effectiveness by company profits. One program might manage a business well enough to steadily increase profit, another may make a sharp profit before profit crashes (maybe by firing important workers) . Investors will demand the best CEObots

    Edit to add: of course any CEObot will be more sociopathic than any human CEO. They won't care about literally anything unless a score is attached to it

  • I mostly remember the events from the 1s I have rolled. 20s fade into insignificance

    So it's nice when die rolls are open, do everyone can share in the expectation

  • Yeah I double checked the pixel 10 line a few moments after I posted, and edited the comment about it out. I guess you read it while I was editing :)

    After warrantying two 9 folds in just over a year I'm not buying another folding phone from Google until it's been out a while and has a reputation for lasting

  • I should get esims for my two services when i get the replacement phone, they should be reasonably easy to move between devices, definitely easier to do when away from your sim tool. Once I've had some practice with one I'll decide on a cardless phone

    Doesn't look like it should be a deal breaker for me

    Looks like I'd have to finally retire my pixel 3 to wifi only though, it doesn't appear to support esims. Actually nor does my 4G backup phone. This suggests I should only get my minor service on esim, and keep my main number on a card, or buy a more modern backup phone

    That's odd. Wikipedia says the pixel 3 has esim support. I must have looked wrongly it's region specific and not in my region

  • I'm sure they would only venture onto you if they were persuing something that already ran onto you

    You're big and scary and dangerous to something as small as a dinner plate sized spider, they're not going to risk walking on megafauna (did you know we are megafauna?)

    Tiny spiders might not have the perspective to recognise that we're living things, but they crawl on us when we're awake. Huntsmans keep a distance from us, and think they're perfectly camouflaged while they stand still, as they are when they're not on an ivory white wall

  • We let huntsman spiders live in our houses, they're harmless and keep other insects down. That one has been eating well. They're not often that big
