Logitech m330 with a single AA Ni-MH battery. Have been using the same battery for the last 4 months, wondering when will it die.

I also have a smart charger for the batteries, so I can just keep them in there without the risk of damaging the batteries. The moment the battery dies, I'll just take another one and swap it quicker than it would take me to find a usb-c charger.

Luckily it doesn't auto connect, otherwise I would have sent it back

Or BT controller soldered onto mobo

I mounted it on a wall before I found it out. Neighbors haven't bothered to connect to it once, so I haven't risked accidentally breaking it during dismount. It is scary enough to adjust it on it's mount, considering that most of it is a thin and fragile oled panel.

LG C series OLEDs are a pain. If you connect them to wifi, they'll give you Apple TV and other "promotions" as pop up notifications at random times.

These TVs also have Bluetooth which cannot be turned off and any device can try to connect to it, giving you a non intrusive pop up of 20% of your screen area.

And their customer support is absolute garbage. In my area, you'll have to call them a few times before anyone picks up, then there is a 50% chance that the clerk doesn't speak English nor your local language. Sometimes you'll give up on calling them, as no one responds. You'll be happy to know that they will call you back in about a month.

Rule of thumb when buying electronics (or anything for that matter) is buy it cheap, buy it twice.

Nervously looks at the 10€/TB refurbished drives that just arrived

Imo untested always means dead. Especially when it is something easy to test - like a laptop

Most of the gold's price comes from it being used in jewelry and as an investment. Less than 7% of gold is used by the tech industry

Kidneys rock! As long as they don't stone, that is.

Everyone in Estonia has to have an ID card, which contains the RSA keys and x.509 certs for giving digital signatures.
