These don't really feel like a garden hose, best comparable thing is the spray from a good impact or rotor sprinkler.

I didn't get the long nut because it wasn't an option when I bought them a few years ago haha

I used to feel the same way, going as far as to drill out the flow restriction devices, but I found a shower head I actually like a few years back, a high Sierra brand one, and even it's lowest flow model feels powerful

Updates that fix bugs come to PC far earlier than Xbox sometimes never coming at all. Games, when not on gamepass, even from Microsoft, are typically cheaper on other platforms. And sometimes they just don't even put content on the Xbox

Last fall was halo 2's 20th anniversary. If you only played Xbox, you could have forgotten it. Microsoft did nothing on the Xbox about it. But on PC, they promoted the released E3 demo levels

Finally there's the lack of investment in any hardware upgrades. The controllers still use the same crap alps stick modules, the vibration is still two big dumb motors, and the buttons are still just graphite pads on a PCB. Even on the $200 elite controllers. There's no single channel wireless headset available first party, just stereo ones, and the add on storage still remains horrifically overpriced years later

Then why are you treating us like second class citizens?

My only beef with Microsoft and Xbox is that they're not willing to open up these systems to any sort of macros or even complex rebinding.

Shame, because I used to actually admire how he handled layoffs. Was a far sight better (from outside looking in) than the "thanks, here's one extra paycheck, send your laptop back at your expense please" I'd experienced

People use mouse on Xbox. There will always be some

I've heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever

Data that Mozilla now happily collects themselves

I've been using one for years. It gets some use. Not a ton, but some. Most common use is as media keys or as the modifiers. Oh and escape in vim

As long as the RPi foundation keeps messing around with their supplies, reserving the lions share for "corporate" customers, I'll stick to espressif devices. I can get a bag of them for the cost of one of these
