But that is my point: downvoting the news will not keep people from using it; the people who will want to use it will find it anyway.
In any case, people still want to be aware about it, especially the people who disagree and downvoted it, so they should have upvoted instead, in order to have a proper discussion about the issue they supposedly care about.
Trying to bury it in downvotes to make it disappear from "Hot" does the exact opposite.
Wow, so many downvotes probably from people hating the news, this is not what the downvote button is for.
It's about if a post or comment contributes or triggers interesting and engaging discussions.
Specifically for news articles, I find it important to upvote if I'm glad the article was posted at all, since it helps raise awareness about an issue etc, or if I probably wouldn't have found the article posted on another platform, so maybe I wouldn't have learned about it at all.
Even if it's fake news, it's better for me to be aware that misinformation in being spread about the issue, with people in the comments explaining why it's fake with sources etc.
The upvote/downvote button is not a change.org petition for making a problem go away by disagreeing with it.
Saw the title and I came here to say that I have the 8BitDo Pro 2, I didn't need to customize the buttons a lot, but if you really need to do this I'm not sure I've seen any other controllers that support this feature, even on Windows.
Same goes with updating the firmware. While researching it, I found that they provided a firmware update for a 2.4GHz controller to make it work with Bluetooth (!). I’m not sure I've seen many controllers with upgradeable firmware in general, let alone the company choosing to make it support Bluetooth instead of forcing you to buy their more expensive controller in their lineup.
I like the build quality, I don't know what you mean but i.e. my Pro 2 of course is not going to have the same build quality as a €200 controller that has metal parts etc.
It was also nice to see that it has a button to change the input mode, which I guess it would be more useful if I had to connect it to consoles etc (but I think I remember I did need to use it once when Steam input was misbehaving or sth)
Oh also I was surprised by the battery life; I think it was advertised as having 12 hours, but after 2 years of using it I happened to notice that I had 25-30 hours of playing time in a game and I hadn't charged it (now that I'm looking at their website it says 20 hours, but I think there's been another revision since I bought it)
Last thing I really liked was the removable battery: when your battery needs replacement, with other comparable controllers you either need to buy a new one, or try getting inside the case and solder one yourself etc. Meanwhile my controller comes with a rechargeable LiPo battery, for which you can buy an official replacement, or change it for 2 AA batteries, either rechargeable or not
Not sure about the name of the systems, and I've seen them change names a lot over the years
But I think it's a pretty universal thing in the EU, that you're able to pay directly using an IBAN, I've even seen "direct bank tranfer" in stores that sell across the EU
I used Aramex's shop&ship (both times), I found them from Courier Center's website.
The cost was a bit much, but nothing compared to the laptop itself (and also I really didn't want to buy yet another laptop that in a few years would be obsolete and unrepairable).
The laptop's order shipping was €70 and it took ~10 days after it arrived at their location. You can compare the shipping cost to/from various countries, my DIY package was 4.5kg
Edit: just a few days after making this comment, I received an email from Framework that they started shipping to Greece, among other countries!
Just leaving this here in case you don't know: there are also the Framework laptops, which are designed to be modular, upgradable, and have easy to buy replacement parts.
They even sell motherboards, so you can now get a e.g. Intel Core Ultra motherboard for your 3-4 year old laptop.
Of course It's a bit more expensive than a used 10 year old Thinkpad, but it kind of competes with other high end laptops, and it is cheaper especially when you consider it's designed to last more
(Not a sponsored post, just glad there is a company that makes such products, and that when I broke a part I could just go to their store and order a replacement instead of searching for serial numbers on random online stores etc like I've done before)
Not really a life hack but: folding bicycles are so, so convenient for everyday use (fits in every elevator, fits under your desk at work, fits in public transportation even when it's crowded, etc)
I really don't know how they are not a lot more common; you only need a mountain bike if you actually ride on mountain trails often enough. Even non-folding city bicycles are way more comfortable for everyday usage (higher handlebar position and cushiony saddle <3)
Tasker: I haven't used it, but I've seen useful automations over the years from people online and I would probably use a good FOSS alternative.
