An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

my 3d printed mouse broke - the click upper didn't up anymore. With a new 3d printed part, the click upper now ups again.

Is the red stuff 3D printed?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everything except the circuit board is 3d printed

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Wow that's brilliant! I guess it's some sort of standard circuit board?

Also it's too hot here, 3D printed is in the title, sorry 🤪

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, it's a one-off circuit board. It's open source as well. You can make it yourself.

Cool, out of my skillset I guess though, haven't etched a pcb since teen age.

Edit: you wouldn't have a link?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I posted the link in another thread on this post.

i thought it was! i've been so close to buying their adept trackball for weeks now...

[–] ODGreen@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Ploopy is so good! I have their Classic trackball and it's been holding up for years.

You needed new brake pads?

click upper

My brain:

What? What’s that thing? Wait… The existence of a left click, a middle click and a right click implies the existence of a front click, a back click, an up click and a down click. Maybe I should print a mouse, too!

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

Fixed my mouse today

Can't close my eyes, or make it go away.

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My MX master 2 is starting to die, how are your experiences with this mouse? Aren't the layer lines a annoying texture?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 3 points 1 month ago

i really like this mouse - it's great if you want to play with firmware, probably not a great mouse to give to a non-technical person.
