My Logitech G502 Hero mouse is experiencing phantom clicks and un-clicks.
Like if I am holding down the button to highlight text, it will act as if I released the button when I have not. Or if I do a single click, it will sometimes do a double click.
It's not that old. Any ideas on what I should try to do to fix it?

Seems this is a very common problem with the switches being used in most modern gaming mice. I found a guide that shows how to replace them with better quality… See More

switches.
I will give it a try when I have a chance and see how it goes.

I had the same with my G502 Wireless mouse after a week. I was   . So I just sended it back. I used my old ROG Spatha for about 5 years without any issue. Now I was going back to it and wait a bit to take a look what is coming new on the market —

No need to replace the switch, you can open the switch and fix it. —

Good morning friends!

Recently my morning routine involves listening to My Analog Journal on youtube while drinking my coffee. He has a really interesting collection of music from around the world. I've been particularly in to his Japanese funk, jazz, and pop.

Anyway, I just realized he is on soundcloud, which means I can listen and share on GTribe music player!
Just search for My Analog Journal.

I noticed a bad smell coming out of one of my cupboards in the kitchen.
Turns out that some potatoes had started to rot.
How can something so good smell so bad?
I threw the entire bag away.
     
RIP Potatoes. Sorry I did not eat you fast enough.

Today I had planned on buying the motherboard for my new build.
But then I realized it is time to pay my quarterly estimated taxes.
Bye bye money. Hope to see you again soon!

I was thinking it was getting about time to upgrade, but after building the 9th gen Intel rig for my nephew, it really wasn't much faster than my Haswell Xeon E3. —

As Sweet Sounds! said, make that game, even in Alpha and put it on Steam with Achievements. I will pre-order too! —

Just purchased the next items for my new build!

Two - Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC SSD Drives

I've never used NVMe storage before so I am pretty excited!
By the way.. I got an additional $10 each off with promo code EMCTDVC22
Not sure if that will work for everyone or if it was tied to my email account.

I've used Western Digital Black NVMe's on some builds and they are awesome. Looking forward to trying out the new SN750's —

Great buy, gunna raid or just mass storage. I've been very tempted to pickup a 660 there so cheap and at 1800/~1000mbs "cant remember on mobile" its plenty faster than ssd's but now I'm looking to the HP Ex900 / HP EX920 nvme it beats my 950 pro. At a bit of a premium over the 660/670 intels mvme —

I'm so out of touch with the new advances - I had no idea on what that was. I need to catch up. —

As a lifetime serial entrepreneur I'd like to take a moment to talk about price and value.
When someone creates a thing and sells it, a lot of careful consideration is given setting the price. Price is set from the cost of production + an estimation of the additional value to the consumer. This is tricky, because value is subjective and varies from person to person so a lot of guesswork is involved.
Attached is an image of a plain white t-shirt.
It's price was $120.
If you think that is crazy and the… See More

shirt is not worth that much. You would be wrong.
It might not be worth that to YOU. But to others, it was priced too low. As it sold out almost instantly and demand far outstripped supply.
As a consumer, it is not our job to set the price because we do not know the cost and we do not know the value to anyone other than ourselves. All we can do is buy or not buy.
It's ok to tell a creator, "sorry that is out of my budget" and hope that maybe they will put it on sale. But to go beyond that it quickly gets rude.
Please don't be rude.
Thank you Angel for creating this community, thank you Dot for all your contributions to it.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY STATED. Only thing I would add is that just because something may not be in your current budget doesn't mean it can't be WORTH that much to you. I mean, there are many things I think the VALUE of is great, I simply cannot afford them even at that value. Like an Apache helicopter. —

I totally agree. But whenever I see such prices I really hope the producers/workers are being paid well and at least some minimum of health and environmental standards are met during production.
I saw a lot of documentations about the production of fabrics (or other stuff) for a really low price per piece, which was then sold for 500 to 10000% more.
I remember specifically one about jeans being produced in china without any regulations or standards to ensure the workers health (e.g. protection from… See More

hazardous chemicals) or protecting the environement (the chemicals simply were wasted into the nearby rivers without any filtering).
It absolutely shocked me to learn that almost every jeans brand was producing there for as low as 2€ then being sold for 80+€. Of course standards could be set by the government, but I think it also has to be done by the brand itself.
I think one of the biggest challenges today is defining what to value by pricing - only the brand or an fairly paid and ecologically done production. A long way to go, but I won't loose hope...

A few days ago I posted about trying to decide on what water cooling system to go with and I mentioned that as much as I would like EK Water Blocks they were a bit out of my price range.
Well they helpfully commented to direct me to the clearance section of the website which is much more affordable!
I will likely be ordering the EK-MLC Phoenix 280 Radiator Core and CPU modules.

While we are waiting to find out if the cake is real. Check out what my girlfriend made the other day for a coworker who was having a birthday but is on a low carb diet.

Meatloaf, potato cauliflower and cream cheese purée, IPA gelée, bacon crumble, and carved vegetable flowers.
