Straight from the big, evil "A". Shame on me 😆

They're regularly going for $30 in a pack of 4, but they recently had a flash sale.

Finding good 9V rechargeable batteries is still surprisingly hard.

Trying out this Li-ion block, which can be charged via USB (which is neat!) and promises a capacity of 650mAh. I still have my doubts, but we'll see.

@piggo

Wow, now I'm curious what replies I'm not getting to see here. I only see one clearly offensive reply.

@jordan31

Nope, about to report it though. If you can't see it, maybe this particular user/instance is already blocked by fosstodon.org?

I think today marks the day I've received my first ever racist & homophobic reply on the fediverse.

On the one hand it's impressive it actually took more than a year for it to happen, on the other hand it's just mind-blowing what fucked-up reactions a simple photo of a pink park bench can provoke in some people. 🙄

@arh

I don't really know a client I'm afraid, but what you can do is install a browser extension that lets you pick a mobile user-agent. You can then use their mobile website to upload photos.

The gayest park bench in town 😊

I love sitting inside with the windows open and watching big, heavy raindrops pattering down on the rooftops of the neighborhood.

@thomasfuchs

That's certainly still true for game consoles, but I don't think it ever applied to the accessories.

@thomasfuchs

Plus: at least over here in Europe those Elite controllers dropped to 99 Euros (including a game of choice) within weeks after their release.

We'll see how it works out for the second generation.

@thomasfuchs

Well, yes, but adjusting it for inflation, it'd be a $69 controller in 1983.

And the NES would be $479 nowadays, which is actually more than you pay for an Xbox One X or PS4 Pro.

Watch the Flight Simulator announcement trailer! They're apparently using satellite imagery, and indeed it almost looks life-like:

So there's a new Microsoft Flight Simulator and it looks absolutely stunning... #e3

That's just sad...

Maker Media is no more. After 15 years, the company behind Make Magazine and Maker Faire has closed its door:

@Khaosgrille @a1batross

Probably just means it's a recent addition to the list? At least that's how I understand it.

@a1batross

Maybe give them another chance? They at least claim to be open to issues and PRs on GitHub.

@a1batross

Ok? Then go ahead and contribute to it.

@TreacherousNexus @emsenn

Hah, understood 😆

Time to get that enthusiasm back!
