How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? (lemmy.world)

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...

seathru,

That is kind of just how non hall effect thumb sticks are. But I’ve had great luck with Deoxit D5. You have to take apart the controller so you can squirt it directly into the switch itself but as long as it’s not a mechanical problem like a weak spring, the Deoxit usually gets it working like new.

seathru,

Yeah alcohol works well. WD-40. too.

seathru,

It’s one of the messier options but it still works well. The switches in my logitech g604 have been bounce free for over a year now after hosing then down with WD-40. That’s longer than any of the warranty replacement mice lasted.

Deoxit leaves a residue, too, that will stain clothes. That residue is what helps the contacts from oxidizing again in the future.

seathru,

It popped up for me too on their unlimited plan. I clicked the X and went on with my life.

seathru,

Listening to my modified Minimus 7’s highlight the poor mixing of the Alan Parsons Project.

seathru,

I love these. Thanks!

seathru,

Holy shit, is that load bearing plywood on the far wall (with the rectangle window).

My friend, you need help from someone that knows what they are doing and familiar with local codes before proceeding any further.

My concern is that those big beams (blue) end where they meet the plywood (yellow). Which means they are transferring their downward force into the board(s) highlighted in green. That in turn presses down on the vertical studs highlighted in red. These aren’t connected to anything on the bottom. So the weight from the beams gets supported by the screws attaching all these pieces to the plywood wall? Maybe if they’re just for looks and not structural support. Maybe that’s how it’s done in germany.

seathru,

Perhaps they should start a gofundme or something.

seathru,

My car insurance went up $1200 this year, which blows my mind. No reason given.

Kind of like jobs. If you stay with the same company for more than a couple years, you’re probably doing yourself a disservice.

seathru,

Squeeze a third of the bottle into the trash, replace missing portion with Underwood ranches Sriracha, shake well and squirt on anything edible.

seathru,

Same here. Everything worked pretty much right out of the box with Nobara. And my total linux experience in the last decade is running Mint on my work laptop the last 3 months. I tried to switch over to linux gaming in the late 00s, but it was far too much work then. I spent more time getting X3 to work then I ever did playing it. Completely different experience these days.

So you prefer playing as another gender? (quanticfoundry.com)

Well, as a guy, I’ve been asked multiple times why I systematically play games female characters in video games, to the point of skipping a game if I’m forced to pay a male one, with a few exceptions (I really liked Albus from Troubleshooters for example). Whenever there’s romance in a game, I’ll also take the F/F route....

seathru,

Really depends on the game/story and if I like the characters. For example playing Fallout 4 as a female protagonist felt out of place, like it was just a mod that someone hacked in. But on the other side Cyberpunk 2077’s male character annoyed me enough that I restarted as female V. And then there’s games like Skyrim where the only difference I notice is the grunts you make in combat.

seathru,

They’re both varieties of Sansevieria (Snake Plant). Super easy to care for as long as you can refrain from watering them all the time.

seathru, (edited )

They need very little water. Especially during winter. Seconding everything on the other comment too. I would repot them with fresh, well draining soil and if you see anything squishy and brown, cut it off. If you have to cut on the roots, leave it out for a day before putting it back in soil to let the cut callus over. Snake plants are tough, they won’t mind.

Depending on your local climate, they would probably make better indoor plants. They’ll tolerate low light areas that other plants won’t.

One of my mom’s that exploded the pot it was growing in. I wish I had got a better picture.

seathru, (edited )

Well, yeah. Gas turbines can burn damn near anything flammable. But, where’s the hydrogen coming from?

Edit: Wait. This is just an AI article isn’t it? They are claiming this turbine converts natural gas to hydrogen? “GT36 turbine’s ability to seamlessly convert natural gas to H successfully tested2 Pure, thanks to a new combustion chamber.”

seathru,

Or buying/building a milling machine. Or a lathe. Or a drill, a hacksaw, and some files.

15 day waiting periods for Home Depot trips. You better plan those plumbing projects in advance.

seathru,

He built most of an AK receiver (the federally regulated part in the US) out of a shovel but probably 90% of the gun (by mass) was off the shelf AK parts. And he has decent tools. But it’s still pretty impressive.

Here’s one of the original threads.. It has cats!

seathru,

Works with amazon too. Even if something is legitimately still under warranty and it breaks, it’s usually far less hassle just to buy another and return the broke one for a refund.

Question about upgrading to proton

Dont know if anyone has any experience with this but i have a vpn plus account for 2 years and want to upgrade to unlimited soni can move my domain mail and stuff to proton. But i cant find any option for this or im blind. Do i now have to make a separate mail plus account? That would make the bill something like 380 euro for 2...

seathru,

Click the settings gear next to your username in proton mail, then click “all settings” and then “explore other proton plans”. If you have a current paid service, the remainder will be credited towards the new purchase.

seathru,

No-go. That could possibly be viewed as antisemitic.

seathru,

Maybe it’s my demand avoidance. But that just makes me want to say fuck you all, good luck.

seathru,

In a SVX no less. Nifty!

seathru,

“free to keep until” isn’t the clearest wording.
