Companies throw away stuff for all kinds of silly reasons.

2018-11-24 17:18:08 UTC  

Sometimes it was as little as a single blown capacitor.

2018-11-24 17:18:16 UTC  

I get all my mouses for free from a company close to me

2018-11-24 17:18:19 UTC  

they just give them to me

2018-11-24 17:18:28 UTC  

That's the way to do it.

2018-11-24 17:18:36 UTC  

They're all $10 dell mouses, but they work fine and are free

2018-11-24 17:18:53 UTC  

So when one breaks, I just get another one they don't use anymore

2018-11-24 17:19:04 UTC  

Yeah, they are just fine. I have friends who get these "gamer mice" and they are silly and overpriced.

2018-11-24 17:19:13 UTC  

Yeah, for sure

2018-11-24 17:19:26 UTC  

I mean, my mouse works fine for even mouse-centric games like osu

2018-11-24 17:20:51 UTC  

I keep thinking back to the file utility.

2018-11-24 17:21:00 UTC  

It has data for some really damn obscure stuff.

2018-11-24 17:21:19 UTC  

Like NES ROMS and specifically what console version they were for.

2018-11-24 17:21:25 UTC  

Jeez

2018-11-24 17:21:28 UTC  

People add all kinds of crazy things.

2018-11-24 17:21:35 UTC  

I think there is no file that it can't identify.

2018-11-24 17:21:44 UTC  

In my experience, it has a thing for basically any file I've come across

2018-11-24 17:21:46 UTC  

most

2018-11-24 17:22:19 UTC  

What really surprises me is how many code highlighting packs there are in gedit

2018-11-24 17:27:23 UTC  

Oh, I just looked.

2018-11-24 17:27:27 UTC  

It doesn't know that many.

2018-11-24 17:27:34 UTC  

293 file types.

2018-11-24 17:27:47 UTC  

But each one can contain several hundreds of sub types.

2018-11-24 17:28:24 UTC  

Huh

2018-11-24 17:28:48 UTC  

I take it back

2018-11-24 17:28:51 UTC  

Shit, there is a LOT!

2018-11-24 17:29:09 UTC  

All of that is saved in a file type database called "games"

2018-11-24 17:29:35 UTC  

Holy damn

2018-11-24 17:30:02 UTC  

oh shit

2018-11-24 17:30:04 UTC  
2018-11-24 17:30:04 UTC  

this is possibly one of the more retarded videos I've made

2018-11-24 17:30:10 UTC  

it knows every single quak deathmatch level!

2018-11-24 17:30:20 UTC  

Really?

2018-11-24 17:30:33 UTC  

Clearly file/magic has gamer powers
