My old Logitech M720 mouse which I've used for about oh 10 or 12 years wasn't clicking properly. I'd click, it wouldn't register, I couldn't click and drag.
It finally frustrated me enough to get a new one, and I can't believe the difference.
I think I have a high tolerance for poor technology.
But I am at a computer for upwards of 10 hours a day. One small change has made my life measurably better. Why did I not get a new mouse sooner?
@KathyReid Mice are the kind of thing where you can't tell if it's a good one or not until you've used it for a while. What initially feels good can easily and quickly turn bad.
That's why I hesitate to update mice and stick with known models for as long as I can.
Glad you've found one that turned out to be good after a while of using it.
@KathyReid I've used those, not a fan. Doesn't mean anything bad, just means it doesn't fit my hand and the feel I like anywhere near as well as it must fit yours.
Currently use MX 2S or MX 3, but even they're not quite exactly what I'm after.
@timrichards Still the go-to app for kids because it doesn't post publicly by default. Only to defined groups or direct to others. (ie, parents can't stalk)
Wow. Just discovered that there's still a market in dodgy anti-EMF pendants.
Also that Internet advertising algorithms are so bad, so inaccurate that they think there's any point at all in trying to push that utter junk in my direction. I mean, I could report the ad, but what would the point be? The big ad concerns -- your metas, googles and all -- clearly don't give a tinker's cuss, they just want their cut of the money.
We really need to rethink our capitalistic obsession of running things like a business. Cutting costs to increase profits obviously doesn't make sense in areas of education, healthcare, public utilities, and prisons, to name just a few.
Hell, Boeing is making a strong case that it doesn't even make sense for businesses to be run like a business, much less these public goods...
@FantasticalEconomics It's the perpetual growth model that stock trading investors often demand that simply leads to the rot economy. It's unsustainable.
The company starts rotting their product & driving consumers away for the sake of perpetual growth, until it reaches a point of no return and inevitable collapse. But the CEO would have gotten their golden handshake long before this point and moved on to rot the next company.
This is the rot economy. This is late stage capitalism.
@drunkenmadman He’s being charged with rape and sexual assault by 4 different women.
He’s taken a very hard-right stance since covid, turning that way for popularity & income.
Who else protects the hard right & rapists & sexual assaulters better than the religious right? A very public location baptism, speaking out about it in any way possible. “A Christian can’t be a bad person”. It’s just a pathetic attempt to avoid the worst charges & punishments.
