Do you do like me and pop them in your mouth to clean them?

That's cool. I might've been in those discussions. I sure eat mice. But I bet I use them enough that UL could rent me as durability test equipment.

Recently, I may have replaced the need for licensing a bit of software with DIY/FOSS because it just didn't make sense to me the cost for what it does.
This guy builds a mouse because the manufacturers seem to suck.
AI is supposed to empower people to do things.
Maybe a silver lining is that quality:price improves because it must?
A competitor can chatgpt+yt how to manufacture mice and probably start to put you out of business almost literally overnight.

At least he didn't have to live through the era of the weekly de-fluff of mouse balls.

I started such a thread not too long ago. If it's not one of the buttons, it's the scrollwheel, or the actual tracker (movement along the X/Y axis).
Given his time investment...I think I'll stick with buying more. Maybe try a batch of different models, and see which lasts the longest.
Lately it's been my gaming mouse that's started acting up, noticeably.

Yes, I've had the "error page error" page, complete with disturbing 3D-rendered Bob, several times so far this morning.

On the plus side, it did reduce the amount of spam CP catches every day.

One of the servers went belly-up this morning. A quick talking to and it's all good again.

If there was a nice migration from webforms to Blazor we'd be on Linux. But...no.

So I need VS2015. I have a project using it on a secure server, and I need to replicate the dev environment. I do my search, I login, I get to the "Your Downloads and Product Keys". It shows me this:
"Visual Studio Community 2015 Not available 6/27/2016"
If it's not available, why prick tease me? And this is the company assuring me that all of the updates they push out are for security. Right.... then I get an ad "inclusion is innovation." Well that's useful - not.
Wow, so, I despise edge. Trying to download opera - the file gets dumped to "operasetup.exe isn't commonly downloaded..." and edge renames it to something bogus. I have to rename it to a .exe to get it to install. What drivel.

Interesting - opera has no issue finding the download.

Seems they broke something.
The download PDF option does work either, downloads a 0 byte htm.

this does not look broken, it looks by design. Edge specifically indicates "not usually downloaded". It's just so trite.

I guess on the bright side you know to stop looking in official channels.
The one they got me with awhile back was having a version of .NET shown on a prominent page as required.
It did not exist.
