Maybe that’ll solve my wrist pain. This wrist rest is hurting my wrist now. Have it, cause it hurts without it too.

Well, might need a different mouse pad. The wrist rest is built in, and I’m too lazy to cut it off. It’s all dusty too.

Somebody said it needs a mouse pad.

That photo on Reddit, looks like a woman’s hand. Isn’t that how computer mouses are sold?

Well, my hand has more hair, but not enough hair. Got a nice white spot on both of my hands though.

I’ll be sure to post a photo, to see if hairy hands on mouses sell mouses too.

Hmm, the only other place to buy is Amazon, or their site possibly in the US.

It’s one of the cheapest vertical mouses. Bummer it has a built in battery. Just leave it plugged in to charge it when the battery dies.

Looks like I have a Amazon link and some money to send. It’s likely shipping from Amazon on their site too. So risk getting a returned one no matter what.

Might be on TikTok, but the link doesn’t work for me.

First email myself the link. Then send it by a text. Isn’t that how “smart” phones work? Oh yeah, got to transfer $22 to my other card too. Maybe she wants a PS5. She can get rid of it, and get $200 or more.

Well, I’m too lazy to turn the PS5 on and reset it anyways.

Ever tried to do split payments with two cards? Well, on the internet, it sure is fun. B&H only allows that on a computer, not in Safari on an iPhone. And also, just use PayPal to do it, cause it failed when I didn’t.

Might work on eBay, if spending $500+.

Not every site that takes PayPal allows it.

Don’t know anything about Amazon, I have no prime anymore, and I’m not giving them any money for prime.

USBIP

Maybe that’s why my USB crapped out again, and the first time.

Had a usbip2.service running. Wondering why computer was off. Not really sure, don’t remember turning it off though.

I’ll blame USBIP though. Cause Kate is working fine now, no more spinning loading thing when opening a text file.

Maybe that’s why iBus was crashing too. But USBIP shouldn’t even be running on router anymore.

Hmm, maybe that Amazon USB hub was fine. No idea though. It’s gone now.

It’s not installed on router anymore.

Maybe my Insta360 x4, will work as a webcam again now. Won’t need it for a while though.

Now to run zypper dup –allow-vendor-change, and kiss Packman goodbye.

GreedFall: The Dying World

Their site says it’s out. Only the shitty PC version. Nothing like buying a hunk of DRM.

Will the entire game be on the PS5 disc? If not, no thanks. Also, if PS5 requires an update to play it, no thanks. I should also unplug Ethernet from my PS5.

Hmm, PS5 is probably worth more to a Pawn Shop, then my Mac mini.

Worth more to GameStop then my Mac mini is to a Pawn Shop.

Looking at the sale on gog.com, reminded me, that they make useless sex games. Apparently some people pay for sex games.

Are the sex games only five seconds long?

Nice I can update my laptop

Guess I’m not using Packman on my laptop with openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I wonder, will using –allow-vendor-change break my desktop?

There’s always –dry-run.

Might work just fine. And I have backups anyways. But then I have to use Flatpak for some stuff. Except, probably am for a lot of stuff. Like the music player.

Try later, have a video appointment soon.

Also, still exporting a video from Insta360 Studio. 4k is a real pain in the ass. Too lazy to install AMF driver as well. No idea if it would help my old GPU anyways.

CPU still gets toasty, but the idle temperature might be less. And only have to hear the loud ass fan sometimes.

Sweet, age verification

Looks like California thinks age verification is useful.

Well, I may get rid of my Steam Deck then.

Or just never update it again. Will need to block it from the internet.

Also, what’s the point in age verification if all you do is select an age? Well, so they can “improve” the law later.

Don’t think my state has such a law yet.

Kind of odd, that California does though.

Oh yeah, I need to clean the contacts on my flash, and maybe camera, for the hotshoe. Cause the flash was being a dick yesterday. Not being detected.

Good thing Apple and Google are in California.

Good thing, I can cancel my internet any day, if I want to.

That was fun

Took an hour or so, to secure the CPU fans better. One of the metal brackets, is apparently useless.

Also, not using the heat sink’s brand fans.

Well, it might be more secure then it ever has been. Using one metal bracket, two zip ties, and a 3D printed plastic thing. I probably have another plastic thing, but putting it on the bottom, is too much work.

Well, the CPU might be cooler now. Got a bunch of dust out. Loud ass fan, not loud anymore. Now the front fans I might hear. Not sure why I needed a splitter, there is another fan spot on the motherboard.

Apparently PCs are better cause they can easily make you bleed. Doesn’t seem like much of a benefit to me.

How many spots are left on the new splitter? Might need to plug front fans into it too.

Not sure I need to change the paste now. Might do it anyways. At least the fans will be easier to install, now that the zip ties are through them again. Used zip ties in the past, but removed the zip ties, well it wasn’t very secure. Think fans work better if touching the heat sink.

Doesn’t look like I fried it with sweat either. Got some psychical pain though while doing it, my back, and knee.

Should have waited till tomorrow to open computer. The cat’s treat was delayed, so was taking my medicine.

Might need to get rid of the record player. Takes way too much room up on table. Easier to use the lamp, if the damn big ass record player wasn’t there.

USB is working again. Maybe it’ll finish copying the 4GB video this time.

Also, the fans aren’t completely aligns, but doesn’t appear to matter.

An easier solution, is to buy a cheap CPU cooler with two fans.

Skinnier zip ties would work better, had to use pliers to get them through the holes.

Zip ties work better then flimsy ass metal brackets.

usb 4-3: device descriptor read/8, error -110

So the front USB on my case no longer works? Can’t update openSUSE, until Packman is updated.

Or I could just compile all the Packman stuff myself. Or I could ditch openSUSE.

Was trying to copy a 4GB video from my Insta360 X4, and it could no longer read it, said “I/O error, dev sdj, sector 9615616 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x84700 phys_seg 255 prio class 2”.

Tried using a microSD card reader, and got the above error. Well, there may or may not be any free USB ports on the back. And I’m not trying to plug anything back there anyways.

Not sure how putting a computer on a desk is better. Except, getting to the back is a bigger pain in the ass. No room on floor. Only option would be to have it backwards. Might then need a longer power cord. Or have it hang out the front.

Well, need to install the USB fan splitter anyways. Shutting computer down might fix the USB for a while.

More good hot sauce

The other Elixir Hot Sauce I was going to get, is garlic too. The one even hotter, isn’t, but probably too spicy.

BOOEY’S Original Pepper sauce is good too, tastes similar to Tabasco probably, but better. No fire down below from that either yet, and I probably used too much.

Need to get some Fletcher’s Gourmet Hot Sauce too, it’s $2 cheaper, and some stores might sell it. That is closer stores to me.

Paramount+

Cheaper then Philo, and has South Park. But no History channel. But not watching anything anyways. Might be something to watch on Paramount+ anyways.

The no ad plan is also cheaper. Ads are kind of annoying.

There’s plenty to do while the commercials are on. Like phone sex.

I’ve never seen a naked gun before.

But does it work in a browser? If not, it’s a waste of money. It might work, but says no ad blockers allowed.

Too lazy to turn my DNS adblocker off.

Nice already have the Paramount+ whitelist. Still not sure I’d pay for it. Philo works just fine. And I got my old deal back, so I can’t cancel it.

Better way to attach light to Insta360 X4

With a male to male 1/4" tripod adapter.

Less ghosting, maybe none. Can just point camera differently, and get none now. Might just be the light as well.

Also, might need a bigger light, not necessarily more power. There’s probably a cheap one for $50 that would work just fine.

Won’t buy a light on Amazon, might get a broken returned one if I did that.

There’s light sticks, but I need it wider.

The cold shoe I can’t get off, it’s too tight. Too lazy to ask anybody. Too lazy to use a tool. Also, my tool won’t work.

I think this light is 2.6" x 2.6".

Viltrox Retro 12X easiest place to buy is Amazon. And two years ago, is when somebody recommended it.
