broke down and bought a new pair of shoes with memory foam insoles.
No more forgetting why I walked into the kitchen.

How much memory did they come with?

But do you remember to put on your shoes?

I just bought a pair of Skechers and I must say they have an excellent memory and weigh almost nothing

Maybe you can remember to install the RAM n next time!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Where do you store conn strings Griff ?

Yes, seriously, at work for desktop apps etc I still use app.config style, as all the apps run from a central place on a server which is seriously locked down it's fine - all it shows is the very basic connection properties ( i.e. no user/password ) so it's not a problem

If they didn't want things hardcoded the keyboard would be inactive, right?

... since I last lifted up a soldering iron, but it's just like riding a bicycle!
Provided you remember which is the hot end. Hint: This is wrong.[^]
My mouse has been getting iffy - it releases sometimes while drag and dropping, double clicks when I single click, you know the kind of thing. Trouble is, it's a Logitech Trackman, and they don't make 'em any more. The newer model I don't find as comfortable (as well as being £80) and is wireless, which I don't like either. I like wired keyboard and mice so the cat can't remove them.
So it's replace the microswitch time. Buy 5 switches from Amazon on Prime next day (£4 for Omron ones), open it up (4 screws), detach the PCB (two clips, one spring), solder suck 3 joints, replace switch, solder three joints, reassembly is the reversal of disassembly.
About 5 minutes in total. Works fine!
So ... something has gone properly today, which makes a nice change.
How's your day going?

Satisfying to do something like that, isn't it.
And you remind me: I must buy a solder sucker.

It's so much less hassle than that stupid braid ... I always end up soldering that stuff to the PCB ...

Yep once you get the hang of soldering you don't lose it.
I've been up since 3am, couldn't sleep working in the Nextion Editor - Nextion[^] to learn how to use a Nextion display. Ordered 2 of them for a project I'm working on and they provide a TFT with touch screen that an MCU can communicate with over UART. Has a simple language of it';s own and is pretty dang nifty! Right now am working with the simulator until I get the actual devices!

The last time I got the soldering (US: "soddering") iron out was last week, to fix a Minions hand-soap dispenser, which had stopped giggling when the plunger was pressed.
You've got to take care of the important thing in life, y'know.

Which type is it? With the rolly thing in the middle or on the side?
(searching for "Trackman" brings up both types of trackball)
I'm considering getting one but not sure which is less likely to cause RSI

I'll probably try a similar one then (whatever is available locally, wireless is fine for me due to the absence of cats  ), my regular mouse is getting painful to use

Your cat can haul off a trackman?
Is your "cat" perhaps a stray that you found on the back porch maybe?

Our cat can haul off a side of bacon, or tow away a whole chicken. A trackman or a keyboard wouldn;t be a problem for him.
Heck, I've seen how far he can throw a large, dead rat without the benefit of opposable thumbs!
