A lot of people said Elysium was bad, but I liked it even if it didn't match how good District 9 was.

elysium was fine, but that's the problem is that it was only fine. expectations were high after district 9. if they had come out in reverse order elysium might have been a bit more impressive.

Not on Macs tbh. The OS is built super well for trackpads. But on my new XPS it's not as useful with Windows so I use a Logitech G602.

it's definitely a hardware annoyance. if I only tap and do gestures it's okay, but if I want to use the buttons on the trackpad itself it totally borks on me, since the trackpad's finger sensor includes the buttons so it just thinks I'm making a normal click.

also I was told there would be more than enough data for my pictures but there is not, not at all.

I kinda really dislike it. :(

e: the trackpad also feels sluggish almost? like if I up the speed it doesn't change that it still needs a little oomph to get going in the first place, which makes it hard to precisely click.


e2: I think I solved the issue in e1.

My Macbook Pro's five and a half years old and the trackpad still works great. I only ever use a mouse if I'm playing games or something.

The only non-mac trackpad I've ever used was on my dad's Asus laptop and that thing was the worst.

This. I never realized that as a mac-user I was trackpad spoiled but yeah, no complaints here, but you know for everything else it's stupid.

I am slowly but surely making this go from suck to suck-cessful. The latest issue: the text on most of my programs is blurry. After a TON of futzing I found the solution was just checking a box on each problematic program.

It's so very dumb, I do not like technology, it is stupid.

Mafia friends! Do you like TV? Do you like goons? Do you like lists?

If the answer to all those questions is yes then come join us in TVIV for our annual TVIV Shows of the Year Thread. All you have to do is list your top 10 shows of 2015 in descending order with a little sentence explaining why you like each one. It's simple, it's fun and it's a great source for discovering good TV shows you haven't seen. Come join us! (And vote for Jessica Jones while you're at it)

i'll have my list up later today but i think it'll upset some people (rarity included) because jessica jones didn't break my top 10 (not because everything on the list is so much better but just because i'm the person writing the list)

Bad omens that all occurred between 8:20am-9:00am today:
- A guy sleeping outside an apartment down the hall sitting with a sheet over him like in The Others
- Crazy person throws open a payday loans door ~5 feet behind me yelling about the snow and then kicking the outside of the building
- An 18-wheeler stuck under an underpass grinding the top of its trailer against the concrete, backing out, and grinding again
