So. There I was eating my delicious subway sandwich filled with Turkey, Ham and my usual choice of condiment, mayonnaise. Scrolling through the Neowinian forms having a jolly good time a speckle of mayonnaise, unknowingly to me, decided to find a snuggled up place upon my index finger of which to settle in. Little did I know that morsel of delectable mayo' was headed right for the crevices of my website navigation tool! Before I knew it I had, what was once a delicious condiment, sprawled out within the cracks and creeks of my Mouse. "Oh no!", I proclaimed.

 

After a few minutes of searching my desk for a utility of both thinness and strength I stumbled upon an old cable tie. "Perfect!". I placed the cable tie into the crease of my Mouse and flicked out the mayonnaise AND what appears to be a timely mass of, what I'll refer to as, 'stuff'. Needless to say this ruined me finishing my sandwich. Which was already on the way out as I had just finished reading a post about the detailed reasoning behind why a member of Neowin wears underwear to protect 'sharts' from escaping. So having said all this, and you sticking by to the end, I'll be giving away a free copy of Scrolls by Mojang to a random person that posts in this thread. Only if they use the word "Meow" in their post and not directly explain, at all, the reason behind using the word. The result will be tomorrow at around this time to the winner. I'm going to have to throw out this sandwich.

 

What an adventure in mayonnaise cleaning that will go on only in my memories. Let this be a lesson. If you don't clean your mouse, don't do it while you're eating a delicious Turkey and Ham sandwich. Not only will it be disgusting, but you ruin the sandwich.

 

That is all.

Hello,

Question: What type of sandwich are we talking about exactly from Subway that spits now mayonnaise onto a poor innocent mouse that was simply trying to view what you were looking at on your PC?

Id file a lawsuit....animal cruelty.

Hello,

I loled at the thread title :(

Mice aren't that difficult to take apart and clean.  I've been using the same one for the last 8+ years (guesstimate).

 

If it's worth your time doing.  Mice are pretty cheap, but you do get what you pay for.

 

Just throw the mouse in the washer with some clothes. -- let it dry for 3 days :p

:laugh:

As we pass the time, I'm reminded of the events leading up to what may well be considered the most ignorant thing I've ever done. It was the year 1998 and the going was tough. I lived in a humble (that's what well-off people call poor peoples home as to not sound quite so offensive) abode with my Father, my Mother and my Sister. It was a great and cold winter. Snow filled the ground of my Canadian town.

 

For some reason, which I cannot understand anymore, I took it upon myself to go play outside with my friend. Unfortunately, as this was a rural area, my friend was 1 kilometer away and my sole mode of transportation was my legs. Normally my parents would drive me to my friends house, but they were out to Bingo (That's what well-off people refer to as the game poor people play. so, when they finally do win, which apparently is never, they can discuss with their other poor friends what it was like to have money.... for a few hours....). If you're still reading this, the game has changed. Well, not so much the game, but the winnings. As it stands now I've found 10 steam keys laying around and I don't want them anymore. So, in 7 hours, when I announce the winner, I will also announce the 10 other prizes up for grabs. The winner of the Meow contest will get to pick any one key out of the list and the other 9 will be distributed, at random, to the other 'meow'ers. Good luck! So off I went to my friends house. A nice hike at -25 degrees celcius, if I do say so myself.

 

After a while of playing around I decided to jump on the Trampoline. I wanted to be superman so I jumped of the trampoline, into a pile of (what I thought was snow) ice. So, there I was, with a broken arm, no parents, no car, no one home for at least 8 hours. Sitting there. With a broken arm. So, if that wasn't ignorant enough. I decided time would pass quicker if I just went to sleep with it. So I did. And I didn't die of shock. And it all worked out.

 

There is no moral to this story.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
