I'm thinking of buying this mouse, I'm just wondering if the problem is solved on newer ones? Is there a way to know which one have faulty switches?

I got one is Oct 2019 and it developed double click problem right after 2 year warranty expired. I had to replace the primary micro switch with a Omron Japan d2f-01f switch (logi use omron china with fail soon and there is a whole story of planned obsolescence).

It is working much better with the new switch. Also the rubber on the right side now has cracks and small pieces are falling off.

Additionally, the latest GHUB software is shit and make scroll down not work if you copy a profile to onboard memory. Stupid.

Sorry for the TMI. Mouse is great till it's switch or its software causes problems.

1) Go to libgen.is
1) Select your genre/type (options are Sci-Tech, Scientific articles, Fiction, Comics, Standards, and Magazines)
1) Search for the book you want
1) Try to choose a file that is in .epub format (looks best on iPhone, but .pdf works too) and make sure it is in your desired language.
1) Click one of the numbers under “Mirrors” (doesn’t matter which)

Once the page redirects you, click GET. The book should then be in your Books app that comes on all iPhones.

• Gen.lib.rus.ec also works as well! It’s the mirror version I use when any others are down

My friend owns a tire shop and gave me a critical tip a few years ago. Odyssey's are heavy and would benefit from using like a Michelin Defender LTX M+S type tire (suv/highway truck), but more importantly you need to understand UTQG in regards treadwear. Many tires have a UTQG of 400-600. The lower the number the lower the service life. Today's more durable tires carry UTQG treadwears of 700-800+.

The stock tires that came on our Odyssey was a 480 UTQG. They lasted 32k miles. The set I'm on right now is the Michelin Defender which is a 800 UTQG. I now have 63,000 miles on those tires and they are at 6/32nds. I'm hoping to hit 70k on these tires and I will use the same exact tire. They aren't the cheapest. I paid $918 after tax for them installed and road forced balanced.

I cross-shopped the Continental TrueContact Tour and the Michelin Defender LTX. Had a great experience with the Defender LTX on a prior Toyota Sienna minivan, but read promising reviews of the LX25s. One nice thing about the Continental LX25s is that the 235/55/19 variant comes with a rim protector. Certain drivers to be unnamed have caused havoc on the rims of the minivan -- hoping the new tires offer some added protection.

Is there a site or tool that can tell me the metrics for a font, e.g. the cap and x heights?

Simple and easy way to view the content of font files.

Mark Simonson
OpenType (and TrueType) fonts are made up of tables which hold various kind of font data, such as metrics, naming, hints, layout features, kerning, and character outlines.

The cap height and x-height are stored in the “OS/2” table under the entries “sxHeight” and “sCapHeight”. (Some fonts, especially older ones, may not have these two entries. They are not required.)

The values are relative to the UPM (units per em) of the font. Most fonts have a UPM of 1000 (OTF) or 2048 (TTF), but other values are possible. The size of the units in a font are relative to the size at which the font is displayed. The em is scaled to the font size. The UPM can be found in the “head” table in the entry “unitsPerEm”.

For example, a typical cap height value for a font with 1000 UPM is 700 units, or 70%. So if the font is displayed at 36-point, the cap height is 70% of 36, or 25.2 points.

There isn’t a tool or site I know of that shows just metrics, but there is a site that can show most of the data in a font, including metrics: FontDrop! The metrics are shown in the “Data” tab.

Webfont icons — what typographers would traditionally refer to as dingbats — are an important part of modern web development. There are so many advantages to them:

Comment:
I've used https://icomoon.io for years, because of its great selection of free icon fonts and also because it's quite easy to import self designed svgs and turn them into glyphs. It's easy to use and all relevant functionalities are free of charge.

Here is not a bad article from HBR about “unleashing overlooked talent,” and I’ll just direct you to the part that matters before we get into this more deeply:

https://hbr.org/2022/07/unleash-your-organizations-overlooked-talent?ab=hero-subleft-1

WHY does talent get ignored?

• Most managers are busy, with “busy” supposedly meaning “productive” (it does not, truly) and usually “busy” also meaning “I get a lot of email, most of which I could delete, but I don’t delete it so I can complain about the volume of email.” You just say “It’s the busy season!” or “Everything is so crazy right now!” and you’re good. That allows you to not notice talent.

• Everything about white-collar work is tied to tasks. All that matters to most managers is people completing tasks. Tasks tasks tasks. Most places are barely “strategic” whatsoever. When you are largely being judged on tasks, it is nearly impossible to be seen for talent. Your managers can only look at you as “x-amount of deliverables this cycle,” etc.

• Talent actually scares a lot of managers, because it represents someone potentially coming for their perch, and that’s terrifying to them. It’s oddly in the incentive structure of most managers to suppress new talents in the name of personal relevance and income earning potential, even though the company claims to care about “innovation” and “world-shifting ideas.” Funny, no?

• It’s easier and more comfortable to put people in boxes. A security guard is a security guard. He’s not a docent. That’s fucking crazy, Janet. Go get me a burrito for lunch.
