Netherlands here! Ngl, Canada is not on my list of places to go for an Enter Shikari gig. But godspeed and best wishes to you, internet person!

That’s great! Maybe we’ll meet at an ES concert. Which country are you from?

Immediately recognized the lyrics. Enter Shikari are the GOAT! 💦

This is the way

As a repair company we use these on the daily. Small error in the article: it’s not true that due to potential power demand, hall-effect sticks can’t be used one-on-one in current controllers.

They absolutely can and we use them all the time in that application. Tmr is slightly more sensitive and thusly more accurate but that effect is hardly noticeable. Not in any meaningful way to prioritize tmr over hall, anyway.

We do use Tmr more in controllers where the trigger sensor also has hall-effect. Less interference that way.

So they both solve different problems for us and are therefore used in different scenarios.

Couldn’t get Eddie Vedder than that

Sounds like mondays!

Is this some kind of remix of the Michael Bolton song? Nice kitty though!

Laptop repair guy here! This problem is common in consumer grade laptops. As far as I am concerned, it’s purposefully weakly designed, because these break a LOT.

Not the hinge is broken, but the mounting points for the screws that keep the hinge in place. Sometimes it breaks on the bottom case, sometimes it breaks on the screen side.

We fix these issues regularly with epoxy (and massive skillz, lol). With most hinges, you can adjust the force a little lighter to relieve the pressure on the mounting points. That way it doesn’t fail again, after repair.
