Also, holsters are a thing

I haven't, but I'm also an electrical engineer so I'm pretty familiar with the issue haha

Fun thing you can do, is open your mouse and look up the PN of your switch on DigiKey. Filter for components with the same package/footprint, then sort by actuation force. Get a few different ones and try them out. They sell good brands there.

I play a lot of shooters, so my left click is real easy to press, and my right click is ~3x harder.

If you have basic soldering skills and care enough to do this, the mouse buttons can be replaced for less than a dollar each. Not that this excuses Logitech's poor QA, but my ~~g502~~ g305 will last damn near forever if I keep replacing the switches like I have been.

Thanks for the reminder that English is dumb

Which includes practically all gun related content lol.

Most gun channels make their income from sponsors, who are companies in the firearms industry.

This is just Google's latest act of garbage, over-reaching, corpo censorship. Fuck em.

If I was a registered Democrat in Texas and actively didn't want Beto to win because of his anti-gun stances, why would I vote for him in the gubernatorial? I can't vote R, so best thing I can do is just not vote.

Biden is much less likely to succeed in pushing national level bans compared to Beto and state level bans, so voters who didn't vote for Beto might've later voted for Biden.

Also, presidential elections simply have a higher turnout.

These things are downright goofy. I tried to get one in IL, but they outright ban guns made from pot metal for some reason. Screw poor people I guess lol

Nah, I'd take a turd sandwich over Pritzker any day.

More than just "ripcord likes to have lights on at 6:00 pm," surprisingly.

It knows what brand lights you have, who's interacting with it, who you might be with if anyone speaks in the background, what times and days you're typically home... it'll even infer your mood based on how your voice sounds.

Unfortunately, Amazon isn't required to disclose every bit of personal data they take from you, so only so much is known about it. If you consider though that data collection is a new, multi-billion dollar industry, and how effective hundreds of PhDs in data science and social-engineering can be with near infinite resources to develop tools to extract as much information from these devices as possible, it starts becoming more believable.

Here's a good paper I found: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.10920

If you have an Amazon Echo (or whatever they call it) in your home, then you already pay them by letting it spy on you, your family, and any guests that come over. Even if they improved the service (they won't), why would you pay $20 or $30 a year for it?

No one's mentioned the privacy nightmare that new vehicles are. Why anyone would pay $45k for a vehicle that spies on you for the sole benefit of car manufacturers and insurance companies is beyond me. Do away with all the unnecessary privacy violations, or pay ME a monthly subscription for MY data.
