My sense of touch contributes to making sure I actuate the control I want. I can glance at a knob for a split second and then my hand can get "close enough" to finally navigate to the correct position using only touch. Then I can manipulate that and adjacent controls as much as I want with no hassle.
With capacitive, I'm holding my whole-ass arm in the air in a bouncing car trying to watch my finger tip float around a button, with the intensity of shooting proton torpedoes down an exhaust shaft. Alllmmoosstt tthhheerree!
My reading on anthropic is that he strongly infers that they're profitable, realizes what he has said and immediately walks it back as explicitly not the case today and reframes it as a guess about some indeterminate point in the future.

I figured out that when I push the cart, my wife runs all over and I struggle to keep up and navigate the cart between the crowds and it's an anxiety inducing experience trying to keep up before she turns a corner, then another, never to be seen again.
When she is encumbered with navigating the cart, it's quite easy to stay nearby as all her movements have to be more considered. This also generally restricts her to the same lumbering speed as all the other carts in the store.
This was a fun revelation when I got into watercooling. You might not hear coil whine over a gpus fans. But remove the fans and put it under load and whoo boy.
So this confuses social media discussions on the topic by mixing together everyone's reports, regardless of their level of acoustic masking. "My card has no whine!" says the guy with three 2000 rpm fans going etc.
Gpu waterblocks seem to be shifting towards fully enclosed "tomb" style and I can't help but wonder if coil whine contributed to that decision.
But on topic, I had seven a12x25 in my last build, two a12 and four a20 in my current build. They are exceptional. A computer is as quiet as it's loudest part. If your care about noise, why would you ever skimp on the moving parts.

It actually stays, even after expired. Then if you tap the "two weeks free!" it says "expired, so sorry, but do want to pay us a slightly discounted rate instead of free?"
Then the alert went away.
Super scummy.

This is me with Costco. They're selective with what they stock, their margins are capped so I know I'm not getting fleeced buying abject junk. I have bought stuff from them based on trust of the store and not knowledge of the product.
It's the opposite of amazon, where not only do I have no trust in anything, everything feels adverserial. If I'm not vigilant, I will get hosed. I find it extremely unpleasant.
