    I hope they improve on the following

    • The touchpads and paddle “clicks” are way too noisy
    • An actual D-pad
    • ABXY buttons less mushier
    • USB-C port for charging
    • Similar to Steam Deck layout
    • A place to store the USB dongle inside the controller when not in use
    • Better rumble

    I switched to an 8bitdo controller with hall effect joysticks since, but I do miss the touchpad’s precision for FPS.

    Not voting is not only refusing to participate in the democratic process (despite its flaws and choice of candidates), but it’s also silently accepting the outcome of it, no matter how much the impact of your tiny vote has.

    If you care about what’s going on in any way, voting isn’t only a right, it’s a duty.

    Summarized the transcript using Firefox Orbit

    • The speaker had an unexpected experience with UPS, a shipping company, regarding high brokerage fees for a package shipped from the US to Canada.
    • UPS charged significantly higher fees than competitors for customs clearance, holding the package hostage until the fees were paid.
    • The speaker ordered a hot sauce collection and was not informed of the shipping company used, resulting in unexpected fees.
    • The fees included entry preparation, disbursement, and GST, with the entry preparation fee being more than the initial shipping cost.
    • The speaker contacted UPS to dispute the fees, citing the Consumer Protection Act of Alberta and arguing that the fees were unfair and an unwarranted additional cost.
