It has the following buttons recognised in xev: 1 (left), 2 (wheel press), 3 (right), 4 (scroll fwd), 5 (scroll back), 8 (pgdn), and 9 (pgup). These are standard remappable in Linux, and I presume that Windows has equivalent capabilities.

There's three additional buttons that are not mappable, which are for input select and DPI.

Liver and Onion, anchovies, chunchullo, whitebait, blood and tongue sausage... generally these fall in two categories:

  • Food that has a particularly strong flavor that clashes with what people are used to, and
  • Food that is made from the parts of an animal that is not "meat" and therefore has an unfamiliar texture.

They're wrong on all accounts - taste is acquired, and people should at least try food out of their comfort zone - but considering that it took 20 years for me to even consider trying shrimp (which still isn't my first choice, but I like it now) I can understand.

And get rid of the pornoscanners.

You're describing swap.

Loved the EX-G when it was my main trackball! Unfortunately the switches started double-clicking after a year of heavy use, and by then models with more ergonomic angles came out so I replaced it instead of repairing the switches.

Currently on a Protoarc EM01NL and liking the aggressive angle, but I do miss that the Elecom balls are easier to remove in order to clean the rollers.

That's a lot of QoL improvements, specially for endgame crafting!

I cannot combine two flavors I've never tasted together in my mind, but I can recall what I did taste before and make an educated guess as to how to reproduce it based on how the individual parts taste. Apart from that it's trial and error - I'd say 65% of the time it works, 25% of the time the result is forgettable, and 1/10 times it's a "what was I thinking??" situation.

You're missing the forest for the tree here.

Given identical client setups, two clones of a git repo are identical. That's duplication, and it's an intentional feature to allow concurrent development.

A CDN works by replicating content in various locations. Anycast is then used to deliver the content from any one of those locations, which couldn't be done reliably without content duplication.

Blockchains work by checking new blocks against previous blocks. In order to fully guarantee the validity of a block you need to guarantee every block, going back to the beginning of the chain. This is why each root node on a chain needs a full local copy of it. Duplication.

My point is that we have a lot of processes that rely on full or partial duplication of data, for several purposes: concurrency, faster content delivery, verification, etc. Duplicated data is a feature, not a bug.

Hey, I don't have to be jealous of the pcpartpicker prices south of the border any more.
