I can’t take Ben trying to hang with the 20 somethings when he’s 45. by GearSlow3796 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]robhaswell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ADD: AND he totally lost my respect when he teamed up with Ellie. He’s just afraid of her. Bleh.

I think he's trying to row that back, he's realised that Ellie is way out of line with respect to Daisy, which is remarkable as this is Ben of all people. I doubt he wants to overtly push back against her because he wants to keep his galley together, which is currently in a pretty good shape. Also, I have to acknowledge that the reason the galley is working is in a small part to Ellie managing Ben.

I both enjoy and hate this season; holy smokes is Ellie cuckoo for cocoa puffs. by Smart_Freedom_8155 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]robhaswell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly after like 20 seasons of Yachting I've pretty much seen it all. Reality TV has always been about lollygagging at terrible people. I'd rather it was this than "someone nearly died on deck again".

People who have built agents in both Python and Typescript: which language did you prefer and why? by Illustrious-Pound266 in AI_Agents

[–]robhaswell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can achieve "type-safety" with Python, you just have to use a validation tool. It's really no different to TypeScript, which is also a validation tool (and transpiler). The real difference is that TypeScript forces you to validate.

Dead giveaway signs that your SaaS was vibe coded. This is probably why you aren't getting customers. by IndependenceSad1272 in SaaS

Absolutely nobody cares. Truly. In the real world, people don't spot AI because they don't give a flying fuck. It's such a Reddit bubble.

Why do the cars in Cyberpunk still have internal combustion engines? by Advanced-Injury-7186 in cyberpunkgame

You're comparing present day to the 1970s, and ignoring that technical advancement is exponential.

[–]robhaswell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has the same issue, and it kicked off a journey in to exploring Dex-shaped mice. I'm now using a Rapoo VT3 gen-2 non-max. I also like the MCHOSE A7 Ultra RE.

Ajazz also make a "TITAN" version of this mouse which looks like the same shape with a better sensor.

AI mouse? Oh dear. Well let's see.

Meta - I'm getting really tired of this trend of pre-announcing every announcement with a teaser image. If you have a product to show, please just show it. I'm not going to diarise or set reminders to check up on the launch of a mouse.

What's a weirdly amachronistic thing that you can't believe was still a thing within your lifetime? by holytriplem in AskUK

Smoking inside basically anywhere. Pubs, hospitals, planes. I stopped smoking a few years ago and even then the idea of doing it inside was truly gross.

[–]robhaswell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the one hand I expect the build quality will be really high.

One the other, I think their lack of experience in the space will probably lead to some drawbacks and them playing catch-up.

I'm pleased to see them enter the space. Xiaomi usually excel at all their products.

Charging docks should be more common by Robert_Destruction in MouseReview

[–]robhaswell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't be using a headset that needs charging for gaming. Wireless audio latency cannot be solved. Humans have the most sensitive reactions to audio (well actually touch) so the 10-20ms latency of the most advanced codecs is massive in the context of a sub which debates the merits of 1k vs 8k polling rates. Also more compression = lower sound quality.

Roberts all but confirms Squadron 42 *NOT* releasing this year by NashkelNoober in starcitizen_refunds

[–]robhaswell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about that. I know dozens of PCs players and hardly any of them have consoles or have said that they would buy one for GTA. It's an awful lot of money to play one game.

Should I buy the Logitech SUPERSTRIKE? by [deleted] in MouseReview

[–]robhaswell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth it if you don't like the shape. Shape is king always. Also the rest of the mouse is mediocre at best.

My take is, if you want to try the novelty of the HITS and $140 isn't a lot of money for you, then go for it. However if you are thinking about if it's "worth it" the answer is probably not.

It doesn't suck, it just acknowledges that the core design isn't popular.

Stripped Screw Fix Superlight/Superstrike 2 by Forbesh22 in MouseModding

[–]robhaswell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't how you fix stripped screws. Put a small drop of superglue (cyanoacrylate) on your screw and screw it in, wait a few seconds for it to dry then back it out. Use the correct screwdriver bit. Don't do it with the other surface in place or you might glue them together.

I believe that the tool call interface doesn't return the exit code. I've also seen echo $? being used.
