It is probably an old case design. In the early water cooling days, there would be separate watercooling units that sat outside the case. The grommets were so you could pass your tubing through.

I wouldn’t really worry about the dust tbh, you will wind up having to clean it regardless.

There is actually an open source eReader, openbook https://www.oddlyspecificobjects.com/projects/openbook/

Unfortunately, the current screen it uses is not being made anymore. People have stated that they have gotten other screens to work, but no official instructions on using them yet

Many oyster mushrooms are, but unless you grew them from a box you know are safe, I would steer clear.

Easily Fish in a Birdcage, my number one vibeing artist.

I work at a big box hardware store, and I can confirm that almost all deck and structural screws are moving to torx. (much to the older generations dismay)

Tbh 99% of the hate for hex is probably because Allen keys exist, and are included with everything. Those things are just pure hell. Hex is fine if you have proper drivers for it, but a lot of people don’t.

Note: Speaking as someone that lives in America, I’m sure the rest of the world has already solved this.

Until you find out that a usbc plug fits inside a usba port and you can mix them up when reaching around your computer. (Don’t test this on anything that is powered on, I did it on accident once and it triggered my motherboards usb overcurrent failsafe)

If you have hard water CLR (or a nonnamebrand equivalent) is a godsend

I’m also in northern LP. We use it for when we are planning a trip to Detroit, for example.

In Michigan, there is “downstate” it means heading to the southern part of the state.

There are also a few AI sung songs out there that are pretty good. Most of them sound pretty Autotuny, but to some extent, that can be a style. Aura, by Ghost, is a good example. If I didn't know it was ai, I would just think it was autotune.

With how simple its job is, I imagine something else would likely break first.

There could, in theory, be a malicious machine on the internal network that was previously infected, which is now acting as command and control. So if you didn't know which one it was…

That's a shame, well I guess I'll keep using it till it stops working. Then I would probably be switching back to Eternity as I used to use Infinity

Animation does have a few good examples of this, Kipo comes to mind

How liftoff is so far down on that list baffles me

That would be Lemmy-UI aka the website

You are right that the metal backs are usually laser etched. The plastic ones on the other hand are usually injection molded then screen printed.

The injection molding is well outside what most would consider “hobby grade”, however there are many guides on how to diy screen print (though running it on curved surfaces is an extra challenge). So your best bet would probably be to buy a clone back cover with little or no writing on the back, then screen print on your own custom stuff.
