most logitech mice use the same switches, any Japanese Omron switches will work (avoid the Chinese Omrons). here's an amazon link to a 2-pack. there's also a bunch of other switch types nearly as varied as keyboard switches, these are what I put in my mouse, but if you're just looking to stop the double-clicking the Japanese Omrons are the way to go.

the switches are pretty straightforward to swap out, fwiw. fairly large and reasonably spaced pins to solder compared to any other mouse hardware. tbh the disassembly and reassembly of my g604 to get to them was more effort than replacing the switches themselves.

I went down a rabbit hole when my mouse started double clicking wanting to know why, especially compared to older mice that seem to last forever. turns out the switches themselves technically haven't changed or even dropped in quality much over the years, they've always used the same shit-tier switches. many modern mice use too low of a voltage and operate out of spec, and the otherwise good enough switches don't hold up. here's an hour+ long youtube video about it if you want all the details.

it's bullshit that it's necessary, but if you're willing to solder in new switches you can get better quality ones that will outlast the rest of the mouse for ~$5-10.

As someone that used to be tasked with clearing other people's shit at work, here's how you fix a clogged toilet without a plunger:

first of all DO NOT FLUSH! Stay tf away from the handle on the toilet until the clog is cleared. shutoff the water if possible, there should be a valve between the toilet and the wall that you turn 90°. Even then there's still water in the tank, so I repeat do not flush!

If the clog isn't 100% and some water can slowly drain through, leave it for a few minutes and come back. You want the water level in the bowl as low as possible. Next, fill a small trash can with hot water. not boiling, just the hottest you can get from the tap. Now dump that hot water in the toilet bowl. Be quick about it, but not so quick that you can't stop yourself from overflowing

The hot water and large volume helps break things up. manually pouring you can dump a lot more water in the bowl a lot faster than flushing normally will without the risk of overflowing.

The Titanic probably wouldn't have sunk if it hit the iceberg head on. Clearly the Tesla simply mistook the train for an iceberg and itself for an ocean-liner and opted for a more ideal collision. The driver should have disabled 'sea mode' if they didn't want that behavior, it's all clearly spelled out in the owners manual.

If it's not fully capable of self driving then maybe they shouldn't call it full self driving

Maybe it shouldn't be called full self driving if it's not fully capable of self driving

Forget 75°, just 65°C (150°F) will give you third degree burns in 2 seconds:

Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.

nah, it was digitalcore

lies, sometimes I still need to flip usb-c to get it in. there's still a hidden dimension there, it's just better hidden than before

I've only been part of one private tracker, and I got kicked from them after not logging in for a month despite meeting ratios. haven't bothered since then
