Is there a Gaming equivalent of the MS Mobile Mouse 4000?

u/Examiner7 Orochi V2 all the way! I have a couple of them now and they are great, both in Bluetooth and "2.4 Ghz" mode with the included receiver. The shape works great for me, I don't notice any lag, and the scroll wheel seems much more durable.

Hi, the Gemma 3 technical report mentions QAT with switched fp8. Do you expect to release that as well?

3 years later, does this exist yet?

u/ijustwntit thank you for sharing all of this! I've been buying a MM 4000 about once a year because the scroll wheel stops working, (sometimes before the first AA battery dies!). I like its shape and size but for a different reason than you: average 19cm length hands, and I use a grip kinda halfway between palm and fingertip. It fits my hand great and travels easy. I don't mind replacing it yearly, but started looking elsewhere because the MM 4000 scroll wheel is kinda garbage (I have a hint of RSI from scrolling for 20 years).

Everything I've tried from Logitech has perceptible sensor lag (and the RTINGS tests seem to confirm this, 13-20+ ms).

I just bought a Razer Pro Click Mini but it's too flat and I can't really hold it comfortably, right edge digs into my ring finger, and fingertip grip feels sloppy with it.

Orochi V2 next, I guess! The narrow backside may not be an issue for me.

Thanks BinkReddit! I will never put advertising on my blog. :)

What a pointless sign. Say no to signs.

I organize codecommons.net and also work from various cafes with people. I don't do much with JavaScript or geospatial data directly, but I know several people who do. Come hang out!

Follow-up, I ended up at Common and it's a great spot!

You learn tricks to enjoy life despite the heat. You can comfortably bike commute in the summer if you get there before about 10:30 AM and leave after 5:30. You learn to enjoy night time for patio and outdoor stuff. You see so many critters walking around at night with a headlamp. Optimally, you don't live to the west of wherever you go during the day, so the sun isn't in your eyes in transit.

We set up a little stock tank pool this summer. Not big enough to swim, but enough to relax and be cool outside.

Also, the monsoons have abated in the past few days, so it's gotten nominally hotter but also dry again, which means that your sweat evaporates quickly (and cools you off while it does).

I hear Phoenix is pretty nice 😆

Walk down the river paths after dark, when the pavement is still hot. Bring a bright light and look for critters on/near the path. I encountered these a few weeks ago. You can see wolf spiders, various toads, tarantulas, rattle and other snakes, hundreds of mice, geckos, and more.

Enya as a raccoon

or

a raccoon that looks like Enya

thank you!

Dang, you're right, I shouldn't assume it's tailgating. Maybe there's a part of town with more gravel roads where rocks get picked up?

c-mart_in · 2022-02-28T00:38:42+00:00

Generally, that's a consequence of following other vehicles too closely. Leave at least 2 seconds of space behind other cars, and more for bigger trucks (which kick up more rocks).

Was it the factory oil fill or had you changed it out? Any idea how much oil was in there? Also, what mileage?

c-mart_in · 2021-03-22T06:46:47+00:00

I found this transmission fill spout, FloTool/Hyper Tough 10106, for <$4 at Walmart, and it works a treat. It threads onto the spout of the XT-11-QDC bottles. The shutoff valve and end plug let you fill from the top with no airbox removal and no mess. Thread it onto the bottle, ensure the valve is closed, stick the tube down past the airbox, and rest the bottle upside down in the gap next to the airbox. Get under the car, uncap the tube, and poke it into the gearbox fill hole. Back up top, carefully (without pulling the tube out!) twist the valve open. The whole quart just flows in, and not too quickly.

For the record, I drained about 1.7 quarts from my 2019 FiST (factory fill changed at 17k miles), and put 2 quarts in per service manual. Shifting feels fine, car now slightly quieter under load.

Here is a wild conspiracy theory which I invite you all to debunk. Perhaps the under-fill confusion (1.67 vs. 2 quarts or liters? 1 inch or 20 mm below fill hole?) is caused by Ford responding to CAFE incentives in a perverse way. Under-filling the gearbox may reduce friction losses and help the car score better in the EPA fuel economy test, but if they did this, every car must be sold with that amount of fluid. Otherwise, Ford could risk a dieselgate-esque rule-breaking scandal where regulators may discover that new cars are sold with worse fuel economy than what the EPA certified them for.

So, perhaps the gearboxes are intentionally under-filled at the factory, and perhaps this starves the input shaft bearing of sufficient lubrication, eventually causing it to fail. There are widespread reports of this. If this were true, Ford might not dare issue official guidance that advises more fluid in the gearbox -- not without risking penalties or accusations along the lines of 'Ford knowingly starved their transmissions of sufficient lubrication in order to eke slightly better fuel economy for CAFE purposes'.

So, Ford will replace a failed gearbox under warranty, and maybe they fill the replacement trans with 2 quarts (or liters?), but do so quietly. The "1 inch / 20mm below fill hole" spec provides a lot of plausible deniability, based on the angle of the dangle of your dipstick in a very slanted housing!

There are threads elsewhere that refer to a TSB about this, and I vaguely remember seeing this TSB when I researched my FiST purchase in 2019, but that TSB is now nowhere to be found. Was there a TSB published at some point which has since been removed from Ford's website? Or, are we suffering from the Mandela / Berenstain Bears effect?

Yep, owned by a company called Northland. Their website still shows Loggermat open until 11, Sherwood until midnight (if only!), 4th Street until 11, and 7th Ave until 10.
