  • You mean a M575S? Because the 585 is just a common mouse. Finding old (obsolete, abandoned) logos as stickers is really hard. The fact that adhesives don’t last forever and ink of all sorts will fade in sunlight doesn’t help either. You best chance might be to find somebody with screen printing equipment. (Nothing to do with screenshots!) Repair cafes, hacking spaces and the like often have them and many are also offering workshops for very little money. You might even get a small screen printing device (screens, press, roller, paint plus photoreactive paste, more than good enough for stickers) for little money. The printing process for a simple two to four colour logo is ridiculously easy.
    Another way is scanning or otherwise acquiring the logos, optionally transforming them to SVG to soften the edges and having a copy shop, repro workshop or print shop print them on adhesive foil. Don’t be too cheap or you’ll end up with stickers that will drastically fade in realtively short time.




  • Debian has been doing so since forever without breaking. I tried Mint when it was the latest shit on a new laptop and was quite fond of it. Until it was time to update. I chose to upgrade - to plain, old Debian that had been running on my servers, workstations and PCs since 2002 and still does. How a Debian-derived distro could fuck up the one thing that makes Deian stand out -the nearly unbreakable packet management system- still is beyond my understanding.







  • USB-C - the one standard to replace all standards. Just one kind of cable required to connect anything with everything. Halleloooyah! Praise USB-C-sus!

    My ass. Not only do I have four different kinds of USB-cables clogging up my drawers, now I also have two visibly different kinds of the “unified” new standard plus at least three nominally identical but electrically different kinds that will fuck up some devices’ recharging and some devices’ communication functions. FUCK YOU, INDUSTRY GROUPS! I’ll plead for mandatory ISO standards for fucking EVERYTHING and the death penalty for anyone even critizing standardization. I don’t see any other way to clean up this bloody mess. I’ll go and found a fucking homicidal global standartising terror group! With dirty bombs and hookers! Wait for my gofundme…






  • Unlikely. The interference from the electric motor just worked because analog TVs used to recieve a (weak) analog signal via antenna. That doesn’t apply to the HDMI/RF connector. I suspect the CRT might not be able to deal with the HDMI converter’s line frequency. Also., I don’t know if the CRT has a separate composite input - if you go in via the antenna input be sure to set the converter to RF, not to composite output if possible. Composite and RF signal are not the same.
