How often do you get accidental clicks? Does it interfere with day-to-day activities because you're trying to avoid the button?
Also, I love the idea of providing 3d models for something like this that needs to be perfectly sized

I have a piece of paper on my desk, each side has the time zone, utc offset, and date when DST will change. Twice a year I flip over the paper.
Right now it reads "EDT, UTC-4, until: Sun, Nov 2"
Going to add a clock next to it now, that's a great idea
Re:Ask HN: Does anyone use keyboard/mouse extra buttons for coding?
on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @09:37PM (#27979505)
I have a Logitech G700s mouse with 9 or more programmable buttons and different profiles based on the window in focus. My most useful mouse binds are copy/paste/enter buttons, backspace on the wheel tilt left. Win+tab on wheel tilt right helps to move around open windows very quickly. Also have 'q' and 'exit' for when I'm perusing terminal windows without my hands on the keyboard.
Paired with a G15 keyboard with a plethora of buttons, which include shortcuts to my most common applications as well as switch desktops left/right.

Exact same experience about a year ago, I also passed up the deal and ultimately concluded later that it was legit. I then emailed PG&E telling them that whoever is doing this is training people to trust a random, pushy person at the door who shows nothing other than a badge and iPad full of content.

I was stuck by this part too. It made me think of advice I read recently that went something like this:

As a current seeker of a remote position, and based on the relatively small amount of responses I've been getting, I feel like I might be falling into that bucket of applications that appear low-effort. What indicates to you that an application is low-effort?

+1 to this. I have a board with different lists regarding the overall category of the idea. (App, website, thing, etc.) Along with that I use labels to further categorize within the lists.

This sounds like the Volt. It is software limited to only use the "sweet spot" charge range of the battery, so that it never gets fully charged or discharged. This means that over time as the battery degrades, the user would still see the exact same range due to the system expanding the min/max allowed charge.

I wonder how much of a charge it needs to have at the beginning of the day in order to sustain itself via just the surplus from regen braking. The article mentions charging by 40kWh on a descent, which I take to mean that it's less than that to ascend.
I have a regular UAG case and it allows wireless charging just fine
The first footnote claims an IP67 rating

I used to drive a Volt to work, where I had access to charging and Booster for the rarely needed gas fill-up. On days when my wife's Prius was low on gas, we'd switch cars and I'd fill it up while at work. We didn't visit a gas station for months with either car.
Unfortunately, we got rid of the Volt and I now ride my bike, so no charging and no Booster. The Prius tank now has to get below 0 on the gauge before either of us will find the time to go out of our way to a gas station.

I did something similar to a modem supplied by Cox to enable bridge mode a few years ago. It required going to one of the modem settings pages, using browser tools to uncomment some html in the source of one of the forms, and then just submitting the form.

Re:Disney acquires own streaming facilities, will pull Netflix content
on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @06:01PM (#14963297)
#1 is my current method of dealing with all the content out there. I keep a list of movies/shows on each platform that I'm interested in watching. When the size of the list grows to a critical mass for a given platform, I'll subscribe for a month or two and binge them all.
I wonder if companies like HBO plan for this type of usage and schedule their shows to start and end at times that would necessitate paying for an extra month of service.

And yet when I wanted to rent Doctor Strange from Google Play the other day (see, I know how to use the new-fangled gizmos too!) but it was only available for purchase. That’s a new release from the biggest studio in the world!
I found this part funny, since Doctor Strange is available via Netflix streaming right now.

Lots of individual plastic bags, but they are recyclable in the giant plastic bag recycling box at the grocery store. We would just stuff them all into a larger bag for storage and drop it all off next time we actually went to the store.
