🗣️ REPAIRABILITY SHOULD BE A RIGHT

“The online repair site goes so far as to call the Pro 2 a “piss-poor excuse for a controller” for several different reasons. Opening the controller requires you to first forcefully remove a faceplate held in place by adhesive tape before a single screw is visible. But you’ll need to extract several other parts and components, including the controller’s mainboard, before its battery is even accessible.”

The most "successful #9thGenConsole" is the #SteamDeck, because #Nintendo's #Switch2 is merely a "minor upgrade" compared to the #NintendoSwitch, to the point that I think it should've been called "Nintendo Switch Pro" instead of #NintendoSwitch2, tho some people would call the #WiiU an
#8thGenConsole when in fact it's just an overclocked #Wii with #BD-ROM drive and #Touchscreen #Controller, which in and of itself was just a #GameCube with an overclocked yet smaller size CPU and more RAM.

Ich will mir vielleicht einen neuen DJ Controller kaufen. Und da ich gerne eine standalone lösung ohne zusätzlichen Laptop haben möchte, kommen eigentlich nur ein Denon DJ PRIME GO(whatever) oder ein Numark Mixstream Pro(whatever) in frage. Letzteres eigentlich nur wegen dem Preisunterschied und weil der Denon so ein seltsames Layout hat, von dem ich nicht sicher bin ob ich es mag.
Hat einer von euch dein ein oder anderen und mag mir ein paar pro und contras geben?

Went to go remove any #microsoft games from my #Steam wishlist, only to realize I don't have a single one on there. No #activison, no #bethesda, no #blizzard. Turns out I haven't really been microsoft's main target for a while. I don't use #Windows. Never used #Bing. Don't write programs with #DirectX, I use Vulkan and #OpenGL and #SDL. Don't use #OneDrive. Never used #Skype. Don't use an #Xbox #controller on my PC, I use an 8bitdo controller. Don't use #Azure. I am disconnected from them.

The stickers I designed for the Ottopot arrived today, they look and fit as I imagined, and I'm so happy!

To recap, this is a midi controller created by @gerotakke, with LED lights programmed by Pierrot, and my custom stickers as cherry on top to dim the lights. I feel kinda ridiculous posting about round stickers in today's world but how can I express the warm feeling of generosity and care this... controller transmits in a way?
