The Tinnitus Neuromodulator setting works AMAZINGLY well for me. It's effect even persists for some minutes after I turn it off.

As with so many things, they used to do this then inexplicably stopped.

"Leopards would never eat MY face" ethics.

I've thought of making various custom (and ruggedized) game peripherals. The electronics and switches I could do (assuming the ICs are available), but designing housings to be 3d printed might be tricky.

For a guitar, however... possibly having the body made of wood like a real electric guitar could be a selling point.

I've always thought the way to go is take a normal controller say, and tear out the internal electronics, replace the switches if needed with stronger/better ones, and put it in a custom 3D printed housing.

There are plenty of guides for 3d printed guitars specifically, and from the perspective of someone who's never 3d printed anything they don't seem too complex. Not sure about other controllers though.

Also, while ammo cans aren't 100% air-tight, they're pretty close to it.

TikTok is known for having a very good recommendation algorithm. Whatever you watch, you get more of.

My TikTok is entirely people demonstrating arts and crafts and DIY projects. Oh, and some cute animals.

If your TikTok consists only of things you don't like... that's your choice, I guess.

Same with supermarkets and big box stores. Some of them have features such as scanning the barcode to get more info about a product.

Exactly. Also Canadian Tire (one of Canada's OG big box stores) has been rolling out an app whereby if you locate what you want in the app, it'll tell you exactly where to find the item(s) once you're inside the store. That's actually genuinely useful.

What are you trying? Do you want to read things with Calibre's built in reader, another desktop reader, sync them to a device (i.e. use the desktop GUI to copy files to a device), download them to a device via the content server or what?

I don't care how I read my stuff, I just want to read it. Calibre says it supports lots of formats, but somehow I can't find or figure out the magic inputs or config options to have it display something to me so I can read it.

OK, first make sure the books are really there. Right click on a book entry, and click "open containing folder". Make sure the book file is there and isn't corrupted.

If it's OK, you should be able to read any non-DRM'd file of most formats by right click > View > "View with calibre e-book viewer".

You can also try any other ebook reader by clicking the "Configure Calibre" icon to open the Preferences dialog. Under "Behavior" find "Use internal viewer for" and uncheck the file format. Then when you right-click > View > View, Calibre will use your OS default viewer for that file format.

If you have DRM'd files (such as from Amazon), you will need a plugin to remove the DRM. The best way to find these is to look on https://www.mobileread.com which is a good place for Calibre discussion in general. I used to know how to do the Amazon ones but it's been a while, there might be a new way by now.

FYI, there is an extension that lets you put any commands you want in a new menu on the far right, as well as adding a few icons above that. I forget what it's called, but it was something obvious like "shortcut menu bar".

>when they could be making double just by picking up the phone and talking to a recruiter?

I am getting so sick of people saying things like this. Of course, their companies never happen to be hiring at the moment...
