Sorry, English is not my mothertongue. How would you reformulate the title in proper English?

I can see each of your points being actively exploited by my government. We're fucked.

Assange has been held in [...] Prison on the outskirts of London for five years, and he previously spent seven years in self-exile at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London [...] until his asylum was withdrawn and he was forcibly carried out of the embassy and arrested in April 2019.

12 years... fuck...

You're absolutely correct. The deputees from the Rassemblement National voted against writing the right to abortion into the French constitution and they did not support gender-equality laws when presented at the Parliament.

7 juin, mon colis n'est toujours pas là...

Update: mon colis (c'est juste une lettre avec suivi) et arrivé dans mon pays de réception... mais non livrable parce que "destinataire injoignable"... je suis en télétravail H24. Personne n'a sonné. Même pas un avis de passage dans la boîte aux lettres... Putain ça rend fou.

Update 2: 30 minutes d'attente à mon bureau de poste local (qui va à la poste un vendredi à 13h?).

Update 3: L'agent de poste qui a entré les données dans le système (en France) avait cafouillé mes coordonnées... Après argument et escalation au chef de service, j'ai ENFIN récupéré mon document.

Vive les services publics !

Give yourself to science instead. Surely there are some companies hoping to try new products or experiments on live specimens.

Maybe some trippy new drug. Maybe hot dogs for fingers. Not sure how that all works.

How can you drive off a gas station with the hose still connected? (lemmy.world)
 

You drove and pulled up to the gas station to fill your gas tank. You exited your vehicle, opened your gas tank cover, grabbed and put the dispenser nozzle in. You also had to pay at some point.

How can you forget that the hose is still connected to your car when you drive off?

What's the best way to read a book in a dark room? (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone.

I want to get back into healthy habits. This includes reading books before bed and no screen before bed.

The thing is that (for now) my partner and our child all sleep in the same bedroom. I tend to get to bed after they are already asleep and don't want to disturb them.

What's the best option to read in the dark that doesn't involve blue light screen (smartphone) or high luminosity?

Are there e-readers with very very dim light that still allow comfortable reading?

Thanks for your input.

Why is Steam (Windows PC version) the only program (to my knowledge) that natively snaps to windows displays? (lemmy.world)

Try it. Move your Steam window around. See how it snaps to the edges of your display(s)?

Why is Steam the only program (I know) that does that natively? I would love for ALL my Windows programs to do that (without installing 3rd party softwares/scripting).

EDIT : I'm on Win10.

HyperX Cloud II - terrible USB driver (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone.

I'm seeking guidance for an issue I'm having with a new pair of HyperX Cloud II. I had an older model (shipped with 2 x 3.5mm jacks 3 pins ). I loved them, but they broke.

I bought a new pair (73EUR | shipped with 1 x 3.5mm jack 4 pins + wired USB dongle). When wired through the USB dongle, I have terrible audio + microphone quality. The USB driver shows as "HyperX Virtual Surround Sound (Generic USB Audio)". The best supported format is 16 bit 48000Hz.

When wired directly to the motherboard using 3.5 jacks (extra splitter 1xF 4pins to 2xM 3pins), I have good audio + microphone quality. The USB driver shows as "High Definition Audio Device". The best supported format is 24 bit 192000Hz.

I installed the most recent driver from HyperX support page. No change. I forced a manual driver install on the USB dongle to use the Realtek HD Audio, but it isn't compatible/not supported and there's no audio ☹️

Do I have a defective part? Or wrong Windows 10 driver? Or is this a shitty USB driver implementation by HyperX and there's nothing I can do about it?

Any input is welcome.

Thank you. Have a great day.

Cheers.
