  • *or any of the following:

    • Disparaging comments towards executive branch government officials
    • Disparaging comments towards individuals with a net worth exceeding $250 million.
    • Criticisms of companies incorporated in any State except Oregon and which are owned in excess of 51% by any American citizen.
    • Criticisms of companies directly owned in part or in whole by a member of the executive branch or their relatives within 3 generations.
    • Publuc or public-accessible discussion of lobbying.

  • If it’s a SSD, it might. They are overprovisioned for wear-levelling, reducing write amplification, and remapping bad physical blocks.

    I wouldn’t trust one off of Wish, but any reputable consumer brand will be overpovisioned by 2-8% of the rated capacity. For 1 TB, it would take an entire 9% to match the rated capacity in base-2 data units instead of SI units, but enterprise drives might reach or exceed that figure.



  • Yeah, they’re not perfect as drop-in replacements.

    They fix the problem of the joystick inputs appearing to hitch when at the edges of the gate, but they have way worse variance in readings when in the default position.

    Anecdotally, I found Nintendo’s on-device calibration settings to suck. They don’t give enough control over deadzone and range parameters to actually make up for using a different sensor type. When repairing people’s joycons, I ended up using PC software to overwrite the joycon factory calibrations to make things actually behave…







  • to a point i feels like they’re seeing us as a lesser kind that need protection.

    I think you hit the nail right on the head with that observation.

    Speaking in accordance with someone’s wishes when they’re not around to advocate for themselves in a private conversation is fine. Someone publicly speaking on behalf of an entire demographic that they know little to nothing about is bigoted as hell. It shows a complete lack of respect by assuming they know what’s best for others without actually taking the time to learn about their values and culture. And it’s super condescending, treating people of the demographic as if they lacked the capacity and autonomy to speak up for themselves.



  • I didn’t address that one because the commenter qualified it by saying you can’t easily change them, which is kind of true. You can change the modifiers, but anything beyond that or changing keyboard layouts is a crapshoot in my experience.

    It’s considerably better than trying to remap anything on Windows, at least. But, it’s also not completely free from hard-coded hotkeys and dumb restrictions. For example, Command + Tab can’t be changed or disabled, and you need to use third-party programs like BetterTouchTool to hijack the sequence in order to replace it with some other action.

    More recently, I read that the latest OS version disallows registering hotkeys with only Option or Option+Shift as the modifier, which is a very big step backward. Being able to insert unicode characters is cool, but it’s peanuts compared to having 80 more options for hotkey sequences that aren’t already used by the OS or application.
