Gotta love that they know how people tinker with their devices:

Rear cover screws now thread into metal

Adjusted rear cover screw heads to Torx™, as well as other materials and geometry tweaks on the heads to reduce stripping risk

Lowered number of screw types throughout system

Reduced step count required for common repairs

Improved bumper switch mechanism drop reliability

Moved bumper switch to joystick board for easier repair

Improved display repair/replacement to not require taking rear cover off

Oh yeah, ACRE2, which simulates real-life radios to the point of tracing radio signal paths, accounting for power output, terrain, buildings, antenna plugged into radio, antenna radiation pattern and other factors. Absolutely insane mod.

Logitech used to be great. Years ago my mice broke, they asked me to destroy it and send video, and sent me replacement which arrived several days later. I think it was even out of warranty, and i just posted ticket to check if anything can be done, wasn't even asking for replacement. Hasn't paid anything, too, they covered shipping costs as well.

Sadly, nowadays their CS is shit (long waiting times and i heard that they stopped that "destruction replacements"), quality of their peripherals is shit (two logitech g502 started double clicking or de-pressing buttons after just 5 months, and that's 150$ mice! And switches in their mechanical keyboard started to die after less than a year), and logitech g hub is probably one of the worst peripheral software i ever used, on par with razer one.

I almost religiously used logitech peripherals for years. Now it's just different company.

Fastmail, always answering fast no matter the time, without any canned responses, just straight to business, without bullshit like "check your router".

Grafana, not "customer support" per se (because i'm not paying customer), but their community slack have grafana team devs who frequently answer questions and help with issues. I hit pretty specific issue in one of their products, and one of their devs (Joe Elliot, if i recall correctly) spent some significant amount of his time to help me debug and identify some issue that only, it seems, emerged in my specific install. Generally common sight in their slack, seems like they do care alot about their opensource community.

Teamspeak and mumble are still alive. Definitely not as popular as it used to be, but not dead for sure.

Mumble is still big in eve online afaik, due to some funky auth processes with EVE account.

Teamspeak forums are still pretty active too, and updates are still being released at a regular pace. I'm still keeping teamspeak as primary voice chat for my small gaming community and i hear from my users that TS3 voice quality is superior to discord. Plus if something happens with server, i can fix issues myself, since i host TS3 server on my hardware. Which is not the case with discord - if you have issues with discord server, your only choice is to wait.

I never ran postgres in prod in k8s, but i used cloudnative-pg for some light, non-critical loads, dev/stg stuff. It works and it's fast, recovery just works (unlike zalando, which refuses to operate with anything but AWS s3). I also reported few minor bugs to cnpg team and they fixed them in no time.

yeah, it can be done entirely on nginx side in like 10 lines.

their simulator for PC has been broken and not updated for quite some time too. It doesn't work with new controllers (anything from mavic 2 and up i think)

Been a thing in Moscow for years, even before 2017. Driving near Kremlin can easily send you to some far away place, according to your navigator.

It's also not just GPS, but all GNSS systems, since they share more or less similar frequency range.

..which leads to fines from visa/mc/etc, and putting you to "watchlist". And those fines are pretty expensive. Very few companies in CC processing market would like to risk their business for some adult processing. Easier and safer to just drop it completely.

Should be standard, not just promises. What if denuvo disappears from existence? Will i be able to start game 10 years later? I think i still have some games in my library that still have denuvo, despite being several years old.

Really love WSA compared to other emulators. Fully integrated into OS - including notifications.

Was looking at some way to get good openstreetmaps app on windows tablet (pretty much all windows mapping apps sucks), and with WSA i can run good old osmand or organicmaps. Needs better way to install APKs, though. And proper settings interface with permissions management and etc.
