Why are they taking away our optical drives?
>>107567615>Some manufacturing runs were contaminated and are prone to chemical defectsThis is the real answer. It doesn't matter how you "store" the discs. They're all polycarbonate for fuck sakes. They are already quite resilient. The defects of the media can be subtle however.
>>107568236>>107567615>>107567462Not just mistakes, but sometimes its intentional. a lot of asian producers tried skipping out on material costs during various production cycles over the years and thats why you need this kind of descripancy. in principle, cds can last practically forever. but you will never know if the disks you own are from a bad batch some chinese jew cooked up to save some money for his zaibatsu. Printed books suffer from the same problem. Did they use the correct ink and paper or did you get the version of the book printed by thirdies in a sweat shop the one year they sent the order there.I have books made from real squid ink that were printed hundreds of years ago, they are in perfect condition. Meanwhile, some cheap (actually, was rather expensive) books that were printed less than 10 years ago in china already have pages with fadded text.This is the problem with global industry. We know how to do things right, but when you play telephone tag with your technology and outsource to thirdies, sometimes they fuck up. Even worse, sometimes they do it on purpose. You wont know until theres a failure and then of course its too late.

Does /g/ have a battery daddy, how to discipline your energy storage? Any tips?
>>107565034This doesn't account for slightly used batteries that aren't depleted even by half. You can't combine them with new or heavily used batteries.Also, most devices stop working at 1.2V, some even at 1.3V, but the batteries are still good down to 1V.
These this are the best thing ever. They look cheesy af but it's my favorite organizational things in the house. >>107568386> varied battery state of chargeWhich is why it has a tester. You can use it to find batteries with same state of charge, and put them together. And/or run them in things that require less power, like remote controls. At holidays we put out all these battery power song and dance things. The batteries need pulled for storage. If they're not completely depleted, the batteries go into the daddy and get put in whatever else is appropriate, later. While the testers analog (digital would be better), it also doesn't require a battery itself. Aside from all that, the main benefit is all the batteries are in one place, not in a (or several) junk drawer(s) or spread out all over the house. >>107566452Exactly. They didn't show the back. Pic related. >>107566624It is fr really heavy for its size. >>107566853If you have a brain, you leave them in their little pockets you bought them in, and snip away the excess packaging so they fit in that little spot.
I keep the exact amount of AAA and AA rechargeable cells that I need with only 4 extras that remain in the charger to be swapped as needed.

>>107570313Vulkan is considered the modern successor to OpenGL, yes. There's still quite a lot of applications that use OpenGL (Firefox, for example) though. It's not going anywhere.The problem with OpenGL was its poor standardisation which led to all sorts of proprietary vendor extensions. Vulkan is a lot more low-level and stricter on things like that.It's the application that chooses the graphics API to use. Apps like Firefox have to specifically program against the OpenGL or Vulkan API and that will determine what they use.

Are there mechanical keyboards with like no case.Just raw pcb on the outside, since for some reason those sound the best when they're caseless.
>>107569092yes of course, you can do that with pretty much all of splitkb's designs but it probably works better with non-hotswap switch mounts, just solder all components on the top part of the pcb including diodes and use 5 pin switches for stability, get larger rubber feet so the pins dont touch the table
