Yeah alcohol works well. WD-40. too.

That is kind of just how non hall effect thumb sticks are. But I’ve had great luck with Deoxit D5. You have to take apart the controller so you can squirt it directly into the switch itself but as long as it’s not a mechanical problem like a weak spring, the Deoxit usually gets it working like new.
In a SVX no less. Nifty!
“free to keep until” isn’t the clearest wording.
All these sweet looking Skyrim mods that might get released someday. Possibly. Maybe.
Usenet is a decentralized network that works very much like the fediverse here. Anything uploaded to one server gets sent out to all the servers; that’s why you can log onto lemmy.world and see posts made on say lemm.ee. Likewise something posted to one usenet server gets sent out to all the others. And these servers are being operated by individual entities (again, much like lemmy). Whoever owns the server you’re downloading from is having to pay for everything it sends out. Which is why most of the free ones will let you access the text portions but not the file downloads.
A VPN isn’t necessary. But you do need a special program to connect to usenet. It’s built into a lot of older email clients (thunderbird is a good option).
There’s no one single usenet company for the same reason there’s no one single lemmy instance. (I’m sure someone has explained it better somewhere else in this post).
in the era of free services, why do you still have to pay for Usenet access?
Bandwidth costs money. And usenet isn’t collecting and selling your info to recoup those costs like most “free” services. A lot of ISPs do offer free usenet access to customers, albeit somewhat neutered. You can browse the bulletin boards but most of the file downloads are going to be filtered out. That’s the part you have to pay for.

Could be Epic, could be privacy.com, or could be malware on your system. But every time I’ve tried alerting places they are leaking credit card #'s, I get the runaround or ignored. So I just assume it’s on my end, take the necessary precautions, and let them figure out on their own if it’s their problem.
Reminds me of The Love Toilet from SNL.
My cat wipes the condensation off windows so she can look out.
and my engine has hemispherical combustion chambers!
Not even that anymore. HEMI is just a marketing term.
Fresh outa boot camp.
Is 5g mobile data cheaper for the end user than 4g in practice?
Overall it’s gotten cheaper each generational step.
And Usenet before that.
Sylvania now: “Just throw that piece of shit in the trash and buy a new one”

“Lead designer to ensure child lethality” is such a badass job title.
2 wheels for me please.
But, thank you for taking the time on that well thought out, informative post.
Exactly. Death wish is inversely proportional to vehicle size.
It’s one of the messier options but it still works well. The switches in my logitech g604 have been bounce free for over a year now after hosing then down with WD-40. That’s longer than any of the warranty replacement mice lasted.
Deoxit leaves a residue, too, that will stain clothes. That residue is what helps the contacts from oxidizing again in the future.
