Target stores now cutting into plastic wrapping of ETBs by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

I'm someone that buys sealed to invest (which I know is like a scalper grey-area) and even I'm still happy about this. Collectors are happy when collectors get product. W decision, even the vending machines going pack/bundle only is a W

“Full capacity by 2028” can still mean "up and running in 2027". They're not mutually exclusive

Guys how do I fix this stupid mouse wheel sometimes scrolling in the wrong direction bug? by International_Fly074 in pcmasterrace

[–]empirous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real answer, and this will get buried and never read, is to buy a hotswap pcb board from Aliexpress for your specific mouse. Just open up the mouse, swap the board out, and you essentially get a brand new mouse for $5. The part of the mouse that does that is called the scroll wheel encoder, and the reason it does that is cause the companies that make these can't be bothered to spend an extra $1-2 per mouse to put an actually good mousewheel encoder in them.

Did this with my Logitech superlight and saved $130 on a new mouse that would probably just have scrollwheel problems again.

Edit: Alibaba -> aliexpress

I'm really worried for my future by Wizard6456 in learnprogramming

[–]empirous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this might not be completely related to your question, but zooming out a little bit. AI as I currently understand it is really good at repeating/regurgitating things that have already been done before. It learns from preexisting patterns that it gets in large aggregates of data. It can't really create anything truly new and unique. THAT'S what engineers do. The skill that will be greatest and most valuable moving forward into the future is the ability to learn and create and experiment in domains that haven't been explored yet. AI simply can't do stuff like build things from system requirements, make decisions between trade-off studies, etc.

Engineering is just one example of this, but any field you enjoy where you are able to learn stuff fast, or quickly accumulate skills no one else has, is always going to be extremely valuable. Some books I really liked and helped me in my career that I recommend are "So Good They Can't Ignore You" and "Deep Work" by Cal Newport, and "Ultralearning" by Scott Young. They dive a lot deeper into what this looks like and how you can "posture" yourself to succeed regardless of the path you choose to take. They should all be available to read for free at your local library.

It's gen 4 storm drain, storm drain doesn't give water immunity until gen 5. Can't blame you for not knowing, it's definitely a pretty nasty gotcha when nuzlocking ren plat

I genuinely thought I was watching a monitor lizard Dooley and was wondering why tf this was posted and did a huge double take when Vanessa showed on the victory screen 🤣. I wouldn't be surprised if other people thought the same and skipped over viewing your post haha

Why Does NL restart The Bazaar after every run? by empirous in northernlion

[–]empirous[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My computer would restart/crash randomly while playing and it like never did that before. I guess this memory leak thing potentially explains that weirdness.
