Most my cars have been German. Even when there was no internet, they still had a fucktonne of computers. Think there's about 25 ECUs in my 2007 shitbox.

First time playing Euro Truck Similar I also thought it was a city when I passed by either Ausfahrt or Utfart lol

90s cars had GPS already. They're pretty advanced, other than economy cars. 00s and on, they're chock full of computers.

That's definitely not the ad linked here then.

Rust's compiler is pretty much the reason the language gets so much praise. The borrow checking of course is the major reason, but it's great at hints too.

The communist party is doing better by its people than Trump tbh. There's human rights violations (allegedly - most of the reporting comes from Zenz unfortunately), but the average Chinese person is wealthier than 20 years ago.

I'm saying my mom let me go outside and play with friends when there weren't even phones you could just put in your pocket and be available. Whoever's yard you were hanging out at, their parents said it was dinner time and that's how you knew to go home too.

Ya gotta have SOME level of trust for your kids, otherwise you'll never have a healthy relationship with them.

That was made this century. To go uncomputerized, we need to be looking at the 80s and back.

Construction jobs are temporary. Doubt they'll be making a lot of money off this tbh. More of an image thing.

At least they won't have to export as much of their renewable energy anymore

I thought you need to add milk to make it American cheese

These days they have phones on them. Imagine raising a kid in the 90s or earlier.

Some of them are already Google or Facebook tbh. They could run many safer gambles for the same money. But I suspect investors demand AI right now.

 

Long story short, despite living in a detached home with not too much 2.4 GHz noise, my Logitech unifying receiver has trouble with my mouse at 20 centimeters from the receiver. Keyboard at roughly 7-8 centimeters range has less trouble, but not none.

I can't be arsed to get an USB extension cord or anything. This is a stupid-ass problem. I want to replace them with something new. What mouse would you suggest that's ergonomic, but not too expensive? I'd say 150€ is the absolute limit, but would prefer under 100€. Mouse should be wireless as I have a tendency of moving it around. It's just the Unifying Receiver tripping me up - I've not had much trouble with other wireless mice in the past, and the same mouse works completely fine on Bluetooth as far as range is concerned, but it's a pain to reconnect on Linux for some reason or another.

I do a little gaming, but mostly software engineering. Precision isn't as important as comfort. I also don't want to get something uber weird shaped, it should still look and feel like a mouse ideally.
