Whoever found and cited [10] is doing God's work lol.

Ok, I'm a bit out of the loop but is Deadlock actually any good? Like, most of what I've heard is that it just isn't very fun. Even though they kinda fell apart the auto battler and the card game from Valve were generally fairly well received from what I remember. But everything I've heard about Deadlock is that it's not fun, and is bringing the worst elements of DOTA with it.

Maybe since it's barely even a thing yet, it might wildly change since that's part of the Valve MO.

Joe Pera Talks With You might be my favorite show of all time. The way it makes fun of the midwest with such love, and is both hilarious and heartfelt just hits different.

Ah, ok. The Unifi stuff is a bit weird like that. I recommend installing the controller on a computer if you continue to have issues. You don't have to run it all the time, just use it for config and then turning it off is fine. It'll give you way more information and control over exactly how the AP is set up.

Which model is it? As far as I'm aware all the Unifi APs need the controller for config. It doesn't need to stay running unless you want a couple features for large deployments but you do need to run it to set things up initially. The Air Max / uisp lines are the ones with web based config.

Do you have a continuously running unifi controller or is it only running when you do the config? Does it do the same thing with the controller opposite to how it is now (ie if you aren't running it does it do it when you leave the controller on)?

Are you running the 2.4 and 5 as separate SSIDs or the same one?

Are you on the latest controller and firmware?

It's the second video, and it starts at like 4 or 5 minutes in. It's almost the entire video long.

To be honest, they seem to be taking a very media literate approach (impressively so, they definitely learned some stuff about YouTube and how to do this kind of thing) to this whole thing, so I kind of get the "farming for views" stance.

But I get it since that means they are actually getting traction instead of just being a thing that drama YouTube talks about for a week and gets swept under the rug. The video notes he's a very powerful figure in a relatively small town, so they need media pressure on their side.

Ill post this comment here too since it's the same video, but you might want to put a content warning on this video, it's pretty rough.

The first video is largely about him running illegal lotteries, which is pretty terrible given the scale they operate at, but it's something that the average person might not know about or really think about it being essentially child gambling.

This second video is an interview with a former employee who was put in solitary confinement for a video that never made it to YouTube because it was actually just them torturing him. Like, legitimate Geneva Convention war crime torture. Constant noise, no idea what time it is because you can't see the sun, constant lights so you can't sleep, constant monitoring, and him running until his feet bled.

If any of it is anywhere near true they need to be sued off the face of the planet in addition to going to prison.

As per the article, there's a bunch of hydrogen projects starting, but they often aren't "green" hydrogen that's made from water or whatever like people normally assume and instead is made from fossil fuels. On the one hand it means we will have an already built out and hopefully working hydrogen infrastructure for when we get "green" hydrogen figured out, but on the other hand it's not really much better than just burning fossil fuels (sort of, in some cases - it's complicated) if it's not "green" hydrogen so it's kind of a putting the Kart in front of the Mario situation. All the new subsidies say they're for "green" hydrogen projects, but the companies involved really want that relaxed because making "green" hydrogen right now instead of the other colors is really hard. Also since it's all fossil fuels based production it's fossil fuel companies doing it all, which are notoriously just honorable and good in all ways and would never do anything that could harm the public; so there's definitely no reason to be concerned.

TLDR: it's not the hydrogen it's the everything else when you make hydrogen.

Custom keyboards took off because of mechanical switches. Back in the day people wanted mechanical switches because they last longer than membrane ones, and so you wound up with a bunch of companies producing relatively easy to manufacture mechanical switches. Those switches all felt and sounded a little different so you got people who wanted a specific feel and sound and it grew from there.

There hasn't really been the same push with mice because even really cheap ones work really well. Optical sensors are way harder to produce than key switches, and while there are a few different ones on the market other than dpi and polling rate they kind of all act the same - it kind of either tracks right or it doesn't. There's no differentiation unlike switches that are "tactile" or "linear" or "scratchy". And because of size restrictions you can't really have the same kind of switches as keyboards use for the buttons. And unlike the really niche keyboard people who do their own PCB and machine their own case, making a good mouse on your own from scratch is way more difficult. They're weird shaped and it's much more difficult to change things like optical tracking algorithms compared to macros on a 40% keyboard. You can do a run of 100 super niche keyboards and make it work, but just the injection molds for one mouse mean you need to make 10000, which stops it being a project and makes it a business.

There are premium mice manufacturers, but in general they either are going super light, super ergonomic, or super functional - and honestly they have a hard time competing with a company like Logitech that can produce really similar features for a fraction of the cost and have a decent reputation to boot.
