Stick drift isn’t when the sticks fail to recenter (which is what this would help with).
Stick drift is when the electrical contacts inside the stick change over time and as a result the electrical signal changes over time. A perfectly centered stick might have the same signal as slightly off to the side. (Which this wouldn’t help with)

OTA updates are not an EV thing. That is all modern cars.

I just recently got rid of my oneplus 5 because the volume button stopped working. So I understand the motivation. But LineageOS has Android 14 running on the S10 and its very possible that when they release an Android 15 version, they also support the S10
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as a Gull, is in fact, Sea/Gull, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Sea plus Gull. Gull is not an categorization unto itself, but rather another component of a full identity made useful by the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species components comprising a full identification as defined by its scientific classification.
This would drive teenage me crazy, fr fr on god.
Sometimes games ship updates that mess with the game. I have over 20,000 hours in WoW. But my play habits from over almost 2 decades ago don’t reflect the current quality of the game.
And some people compulsively play games they don’t enjoy because “once I get to the next thing, it will finally be fun!” And maybe this person had an awakening and realized that they will never get there… Or after this amount of time had a drastic change of heart.
And some people leave games open when they aren’t playing.
I’m not saying this is normal or necessarily healthy, but it’s not unfeasible.
It isn’t just about ungoogling things though. Having a monoculture in the browser space means that if Google makes a push to favor ads, say by removing certain extension support from their browser engine that everyone uses, then the entire internet suffers. It is effectively a monopoly.
Mozilla tries really hard sometimes to be unappealing, but there is value in not just letting Google have full control over the internet.
Its possible that being the platform meant they wouldn’t have been bought up.
“Well I bet your power bill went way up!” Maybe. But not by as much as my gas station bill went down.
When old testament says to love someone instead of just smiting people, you know that shit is serious.
Yes! Great point. If you find any other book that you really like (Mending being a perfect example)… keep the librarian… find a new villager, and start the process over.
If you find a villager with no job. Trap it. Place a lectern next to it. It becomes a librarian. Check what it sells. Silk touch? Nope. Break the lectern, the villager reverts to not a librarian. Villagers only keep their jobs if you have bought something from them. Replace the lectern, check (it now has new items for sale), break, rinse and repeat. Once you find it, buy it and the librarian will be locked to always sell it.
Only downside is you need emeralds. But on the upside, you get infinite silk touch.
Its liberal in the sense of “we don’t like Kamala’s stance either, but the alternative has said he would “finish the job” in Palestine and is also anti LGBT, so if you dislike kamala purely about Palestine you should REALLY dislike the opponent and actively seek to prevent that from ever happening”
$6996.99 per year is $134.56 per week. If you get 5 books per week, that’s $26.91 per book. Given the picture includes a single book costing $19.95, that feels very reasonable. Maybe it’s 6 books a week, maybe some books are more expensive.
That’s a very consistent habit though.
I get conventional mail marked up like it is from the manufacturer claiming my warranty is expiring.
With the added fun bonus that all the things they claim to cover are engine related, and my car is an EV with no engine.
They’re just trying to keep government small and out of your business… or something
You could put a big flashlight up in place of the sun and it would be better, or something. I dunno lol
The physical mechanism that causes stick drift exists in all controllers that use resistance of electrical signals instead of something like hall effect sensors. If you have metal sliding over metal, it’s going to degrade over time. It’s very possible the early controllers had stick drift, it just wasn’t noticeable because it was so bad that every early console just had horribly large dead zones. Only the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast used hall effect joysticks back then and that never caught on. So I guarantee that with enough time, a Dual Shock controller would also develop stick drift.
And sometimes things like this are just a thing that happen when you miniaturize electronics. An xbox controller does a LOT more than an atari 2600 controller did, in less space. Cramming more stuff into less space means everything has to be tinier. and when you have abrasive metals rubbing against each other, and the metal is thinner, it’s going to wear out faster. They’ve flown too close to the sun in some cases and they wear out WAY too fast. Which is a widespread problem but not so widespread that there are no working controller. Clearly what they are doing still works.
This isn’t nearly as much of planned obsolescence as you would think. They just release a new generation of console and make it not backwards compatible with older controllers for that. This is just that as things get more complex, they become more fragile. I would much rather play Elden Ring on an xbox controller that might get stick drift than an atari 2600 joystick.
