With mice, the screws are always hidden by the glide pads on the bottom. It looks like an ASUS WT200 but after a quick look I can't find any for sale.

Ok if you can't get replacement guts, it might be something easy you can fix. Maybe some paint got on the laser or the lens. Flip it over and have a close look at the little hole. Some isopropyl and a q-tip might get it working again.

Same shit, bigger pile

Hey, I think your mouse looks pretty cool. I love the speckled egg shell look. It looks kind of like a Robin's Egg. I have some advice for you, if you're interested. If you're going to spray paint something like this, you can disassemble it first with a screwdriver. Take it apart and spray the case only. Same thing for keyboards, PCs, and anything else you can take apart fairly easily. Second, when you're spraying it, suspend it from a string or two, or support it by a single stick from below. Don't touch it until it's dry.

As for your current situation, buy a new identical mouse and transfer the working guts from the new one to your customized one.

Do you even need the question mark?

It works great on the foil and plastic type bags, just don't vacuum it. Seal only

I reseal chips bags with the heat seal of my food saver.

 

I am considering moving away from Ubuntu, but I haven't tried other distributions for years. I started on Linux Mint Cinnamon back in 2012, but switched to Ubuntu when I built my current PC in 2020 because I wanted more up-to-date packages. Now I am faced with needing to replace my SSD which gives me reason enough to install a new distro. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 32G of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, so I would need something that plays nicely with nvidia. I routinely use libreoffice, digikam, gimp, virtualbox, bambu studio, sublime text, filezilla, thunderbird, minecraft, steam, Open WebUI and Stable Diffusion (Automatic1111). I liked Ubuntu because it was familiar, fairly easy to customize, and everything was kept fairly well up to date. I am not a big fan of snap, and I would prefer a more logical and unified package management system. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for me. Thanks

 

And thus began the second dark age. In the 21st century, the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally. Environmental stewardship gave way to rampant consumption and dirty industry. Women once again became subjugated to property and lost all human rights. Logic and reason was forgotten and replaced with conspiracy theories and superstition. Over the next few centuries tribalism and the decay of modern society played out against the backdrop of now unstoppable climate change, which was largely attributed to superstitious causes by small groups of devolved humans living in filth amongst the ruins of a once great civilization.
