  • Having replaced the batteries in mg index controllers, because they died and wouldn’t charge anymore, this is a huge improvement. Replacing batteries in the index was seriously impractical. Required special tools to open the controllers, and batteries are glued in. For these i will just keep a bunch of spare rechargable batteries ready to go and swap as needed. This also solves the issue of getting replacement batteries, for the index controllees and also the tracking puks you have to resort to (at the time i was looking) a single seller on aliexpress. With AA it is a universal standard with lots of options.







  • Verify the commands by looking them up in the docimentation. So if the advice is to run foo --bar afile first do man foo or foo --help and check what the command does and what option --bar does.

    Good documentation, i esepicially like the gentoo docs and also the arch docs for this, will specifically say run this command where these options are added to do a thing.

    Don’t run anything where you don’t know what it will do based on the docukentation, so not based on the surrounding text where you are copying froom saying trust me bro.

    But of course this can end up being a lot of effort and is just a long way of saing rtfm.
