i have been informed I have a 3D Printer hobby, not a 3D Printing hobby in c/3dprinting

Yup, in my case I know the 3D priter is the hobby. Like were the telescopes rather than the astronomy, or my Hi-Fi rather than the music. Nerds gotta nerd.

People older than 35: do you remember the first time you used a GPS device to get somewhere? in c/[email protected]

[–] ndupont 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, in 2003 on a cheap-ish pocket PC running a version of windows that felt like a mix of 95 and 3.11. Think smartphone without the phone feature

AZERTY-BE 🇧🇪 With all the text written in English as it's used by french, dutch and german speaking people. For some reasons most of the symbols are at different places than the AZERTY-FR

I own 3 of those. They are not for PS or XBox but for mostly for PC gaming. They are not Bluetooth, they come with their dedicated USB nano receiver. I don't even trust them to win a championship in "F1 race stars", the arcade F1 game. The wireless is not reliable enough. They eat AA batteries like candy.

Having a second that is not in line with the definition of the second, which if the most metric thing, is an abomination.

My WH1080 weather station has a USB-A connector on the device side, I assume for the convenience of the slimmer profile.

That's the only natural occurrence of that cable I've ever seen.

The other one was a custom board printed in 2001 at the electronics class, where I was some kind of precursor by powering it with a USB cable rather than a bulky lab power supply. As I did salvage the connector it was a A-A abomination but they had that cable at the supermarket for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I've seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.
