I'm seeing several posts that are startling evidence for the essential nature of proper sex education, lol.

I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

Ah yes.. forever and again, the siren song of children being used as an excuse for draconian, rights eroding legislation.. its amazing how much responsibility parents have shirked to the state as they replace babysitters with cellphones and tablets.

I think you will find any place thats well moderated and cracks down on bigotry and hatespeech will skew left.

Weird how that is, huh?

in one of the WAN shows he went on a big handwringing tirade about how "unions means I'm a failure as an employer" with undertones of "You wouldnt want to make me a failure by unionizing, right?"

And this is why Lienus hates unions so much, cause it would have held him and his company accountable for the nasty, abusive shit they do behind the scenes.

According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.

Streaming has become cable 2.0.

It was wonderful when everything was on one, maybe two providers. Could watch everything in a very easy, very affordable way.

But everyone saw that, went "I know, I want that money!" and spent billions building their own individual infrastructures so make their own streaming services, and right around we go right back to the absolute worst days of cable and bullshit.

Only thing stopping me from saying fuck it and downloading shit I want to watch, is the fact that I no longer know what the good sites are.. since I havent pirated since the heyday of the bay.

another example of why apple laptops are so expensive.

80% of the price is to cover the R&D for fucking over the consumer.

Seriously, tying the goddamn *hall effect sensor to the system so it cant be replaced? Thats some freaking cyberpunk level corpo shitbaggery.

please use hydrogen and not helium if you do this.

Helium is a precious, essential, non-renewable resource that the world is actually running out of.

Any simple device, that should just work by plugging it into your computer, that instead demands an internet connection between you and the device.. is 100% a device thats designed to steal your information/habits/etc.

because there is no reason to have the expenditure and costs of running a webservice otherwise.

apparently -vgui doesnt work anymore, Just launches me into new steam, but half broken. and pure new steam runs like crap, and its ugly to boot.

yes I've already tried toggling Smooth Scroll/GPU & Hardware acceleration, etc, etc. Doesnt change a thing.

So I dont suppose anyone knows of anything like vgui that'll make steam not use this horrible mobile app looking new version?

It took longer than I care to admit to realize this was satire.

Which says something about the world and life.

Does anyone know where, or even if, I can acquire replacement Lightstrike Optical Switches?

I've scoured the internet, and any search that contains lightstrike basically either takes me directly back to Bloody's website, or to Bloody's whole keyboard products in general, with no source on the switches themselves.

I've tried to contact Bloody themselves, to see if I can just buy the switches from them, since.. while my keyboard is made by them, it was made for another company, and its many years old at this point, so I don't expect anything like warranty. . Unfortunately every time i've tried to contact them, their website shits itself and doesnt allow me to send any message or ask any questions.

They are not electrical switches like pretty much everything else. The emitter and receiver are mounted to the keyboard, and the "switches" are just interrupts to that. so I cant just drop a something like a Cherry Green in or anything.

I've got one broken switch, that I moved to a key I dont use, but its got me worried for the future of my favorite keyboard, and I desperately want to find a source of replacement switches somewhere without having to by a whole Bloody keyboard (pun intended:p) .. Which is why I turn to you fine Gentlepeople here, as my last hope.

Do any of you know of any place to purchase these switches?

I wonder what has the other half of the Linux market. Linux, perhaps?
