We're about to buy a few new laptops at work. My boss is hardcore Dell fan, I need to prove him it's no better than anything else on the market.
I'm suggesting either Thinkbook (cheap option, comparable specs cost 2/3 of Dell) or Probook/Elitebook which are still considerably cheaper than Dell in my country.
Microsoft make big buck by everyone and their dog having Windows PC and paying for O365. Especially corpos, that also pay for Teams, skype, azure, etc.
There's much, MUCH more. I'd start with more mild stuff like Nightwish or such, though. And on the other side there are even obscure things like Sear Bliss :-)
Can it be biological? I'm approaching 40 and I've been asked to show ID buying alcohol until I got fed up and grew some beard... I don't use this kind of products, I'm happy to live with just soap and shampoo and when it's reeeeeealy hot outside and I just need to go out for long period of time I use whatever sunscreen I can find.
I consider Razer the most over-hyped and over-priced peripheral producer. The products I've seen were not bad, but did cost at least twice as much as their feel suggested. I don't want to support this.
Tilt-wheel. Every mouse I've held that had tilt wheel was PITA in the long run. I probably grip the mouse wrong, but I very often tilted the wheel instead pressing the button.
Soldering should be fine, this will probably end up as long winter evening project at some point. Was it possible to re-use gliders after dismembering the mouse?
Swelling problem won't be fixed as easy. The material of the wheel just expanded, the rubber is twice as big as new one to the point it can't fit in its hole in the mouse. Internet is full of the same problems, it was either defective batch or it reacts with some specific agent in some people's sweat. Never the less, the only way is to replace the whole wheel. Need to find out which of my friends have a 3D printer...
I remember playing a few games at my cousins 286 when I was like 6 or 7. There were Accolade F1 and Moto GP, Zany Golf and one more game I just can't remember the name. Its gameplay was a bit similar to pacman - narrow paths with obstacles and I think enemies chasing you, you played as a boy and there was even raft across a creek and I believe there was grizzly bear involved somehow. But the name? No idea...
Yeah, I wouldn't get in such a death trap ever, but who am I? Imagining I have infinite money and the world is a sandbox for me, would this feel like "just another thing to keep me interested" like space jumps or formula rental or similar adrenaline gigs? Most likely yes. Everyone in my multi-billionaire social bubble would probably do similar things, so... Why not deep dive? I have paid lot of money, what could go wrong.
Honestly. I can't afford deep sea submarine dive. I can afford a train ticket though. Do I question every train company, every train driver and coductor whether their train is real, fully functional train? No, I simply assume it is, because how else would it be even possible for them to operate it in this day and age?
And I believe these rich people did the exact same thing, jist with a different machine...
One from MMO. I got accepted to a guild and after some time I hear somewhat familiar voice in voice channel. Turned out it was guy from the same village I grew up in, I knew him and he was my sisters classmate.
One from RL. I went to second biggest city in my country and accidentally bumped to my friend (also elementary school classmate) at random street whom I haven't seen for years.
How is camera on that? I remember earlier Fairphones were pretty bad in this regard, which was a deal breaker for me.
