- Comment on Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all? 3 days ago:
With mice, the screws are always hidden by the glide pads on the bottom. It looks like an ASUS WT200 but after a quick look I can’t find any for sale.
Ok if you can’t get replacement guts, it might be something easy you can fix. Maybe some paint got on the laser or the lens. Flip it over and have a close look at the little hole. Some isopropyl and a q-tip might get it working again.

Hey, I think your mouse looks pretty cool. I love the speckled egg shell look. It looks kind of like a Robin’s Egg. I have some advice for you, if you’re interested. If you’re going to spray paint something like this, you can disassemble it first with a screwdriver. Take it apart and spray the case only. Same thing for keyboards, PCs, and anything else you can take apart fairly easily. Second, when you’re spraying it, suspend it from a string or two, or support it by a single stick from below. Don’t touch it until it’s dry.
As for your current situation, buy a new identical mouse and transfer the working guts from the new one to your customized one.

The price of copper is $4.44 per pound. Lady liberty is composed of 176,000 lbs of copper. Melting her down would be worth $781,440 which is less than it would cost to dismantle and melt her down. Basically she’s not worth the trouble.
- Comment on Was Donald Trump ever cool? 2 weeks ago:
I met him as a child in the mid 80s at a balloon festival in NJ. He was there with some other rich dude, might’ve been Warren Buffett. They were handing out those little spinning helicopter things to kids. He seemed pretty cool from a five year old’s perspective.

I am in the same exact boat. The PS5 is the media machine for us upstairs. I would switch to jellyfin if there was a PS5 client. Glad I’m not alone on this.
- Comment on Comrade Krasnov is just a follower of Leninist tought ! 3 weeks ago:
That unpredictability is what’s causing the stocks to tumble. People make money as stock prices fall by short selling. Basically borrowing stocks and selling them. If the price falls, the investor makes a profit.
- Comment on Roblox open sources Cube 3D, the first version of its AI foundation model for generating 3D objects, trained on licensed and public datasets and its own data. 3 weeks ago:
Does anyone know of other text-to-3d models out there that are free and open source? I have a heck of a 3d printing hobby, and would love to generate some 3d models from prompts, clean them up, and then 3d print them.

- Comment on If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react? 1 month ago:
People who look at timestamped data would notice immediately. Server logs, transaction logs, etc would all be missing a minute’s worth of data. Things that take a known amount of time would not be completed on time. Trains would be late, burritos would be under-microwaved, satellites would be in unexpected positions, etc. So some people would notice instantly, some may not notice at all.

If all the billionaires in the world instantaneously ceased to exist, and all their money were evenly distributed to everyone on earth, you would get a one time payment of about $1,769. Then what?
- Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? 3 months ago:
Maybe our types of thoughts are so primitive compared to them that they can’t even imagine that we’d have them.
- Comment on Why can't someone create a public alternative to health insurance in the USA? 3 months ago:
It’s technically possible but it would take a truly massive sum of money to get off the ground, and nobody is going to put up the capital knowing they’re not going to get a return on that investment. People don’t get the kind of money required to do this by making decisions like that.

We have season passes that give us access to all Cedar Fair parks with unlimited meals and drinks, unlimited visits all year long, and it still costs less than one trip to Disney. We often visit 7 different parks in a year, and our home park dozens of times.

- Comment on How do you store lots of spools? 6 months ago:
I actually store all of my filament (that isn’t loaded into my AMSes) in a large antique wooden steamer trunk (like a pirate chest). It’s massive, and can hold dozens and dozens of spools. Wood is breathable and absorbs moisture, but also allows it to evaporate out into the room (whereas plastic bins trap it inside). I keep a bunch of dessicant inside, and I’ve never had a problem with filament humidity. The filaments I commonly use are always loaded up in my 4 Bambu AMSes. In there, I have extra dessicant pods with reusable dessicant beads.
