PS5 Pro is going for 800 EUR so I've picked these parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BnpTsh, and it's almost spot on how much it costs after converting it into USD. (800 EUR = 881.83 USD)

Mind you that PICTRS__API_KEY is the wrong variable, and should be PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY. I've noticed it when Lemmy Thumbnail Cleaner complained about the api key being incorrect. Follow the repo page and check if your variables are correct.

Yep. While mods them self don't cost nothing, in general I'd say (compared to what a cigarette smoker would spend) this activity is relatively cheap. Biggest cost for me is flavoring and nicotine. The rest is negligible.

As a vaper I support this notion. Disposable vapes should go. Pods with replaceable cartridges and preferably also replaceable batteries (yes, those exist) should take their place. I'm mostly a RBA guy, so my only waste is a bit of cotton, some glycol/glycerin and a bit of wire. Batteries will also need replacing, but not for another few years. Personally I hate pointless waste. Throwing away something that's usable is a sin in my eyes. If you won't use it at least let somebody else use it instead, that includes the perfectly good components in disposables that get thrown away like trash.

I tried liking KF2 but it just lacks the crispness and the atmosphere of KF1. I also missed the shop lady with her opening shop in the weirdest locations in between rounds. So yeah, KF2 lacks charm IMO and I still like KF1 more even on its aging UE2.5 engine. I don't think KF3 will find my interest, with all the multiplayer games going "live service" and all.

The model in question has metal screw bosses.

That's pretty cool. I wish more devices had brass inserts. I kinda hate the idea of screwing into plastic. Anyway, do whatever you feel you need. I don't think it'd get loose even with daily usage, but I might be wrong.

What does that solve? Isn't the whole purpose of a threadlocker to keep the screw in place? I can imagine that plastics are soft enough that they keep the screws in place on their own. As far as I know, and from my own experience, there's been no trouble with screws loosening over time in those consoles, so I don't know how adding threadlocker would help.

Overtightening screws does that. Plus, transparent plastics tend to be more brittle, so you have to be more careful. Been re-shelling some gameboys and the exact issue cropped up with shells cracking at the screw holes. Guy I follow on youtube recommends screwing them all the way then loosening them a quarter of a turn. Might help lessen the stress.

Not the person you've replied to, but I've got a Roborock Q7 Max. It's cheap and relatively simple. It's got a LIDAR and proximity sensors, but no obstacle avoidance or stair/cliff detection and no camera. From what I can see it's also silent (no network activity) even though it's bound to my WiFi. After months of using it I'd say its been a great choice to splurge on. Never had one, never thought I'd need one, but after seeing dust settling on every bit of the floor every day... I got tired of sweeping.

[–] romano@lemmy.shtuf.eu 2 points 7 months ago

Exactly this. You'd be surprised how much dust it can collect. After a week or two in my small home it can easily collect a fistful of dust, and that's just from me alone.

I hear you. There's always Valetudo. Get yourself a supported vacuum and install Valetudo whenever you feel the need. Had my robot for half a year but haven't come around to doing it just yet. Maybe after its warranty runs out.
