Comment Nostalgic (Score 3, Interesting) 315

It is not electric, but, I just bought a Subaru Outback Wilderness with a CVT. It is my first car with a CVT, and I am disappointed that it has fake shift points. I have a turbo engine and could be enjoying seamless acceleration without them. The car is pretty quick and would be quicker if they didn't implement them. I read that they put the fake 8 shift points in because people did not like not having the feeling of shifting. Plus, it gives them a reason to put shifter paddles on my steering wheel, which I have yet to touch. So I guess it comes down to people don't like change, and having those shift points is a comfort/fun zone for the masses, but not the intelligent.

Comment Beware Logitech Software (Score 2) 177

One of the reasons I stopped using Logitech peripherals several years ago was due to the problematic software updates. One minute my mouse was fine, after a software update problematic. Now I can pay for that wonderfulness?

I now stick with hardware that I can control and does not require external software to work properly, like my keyboard with my own QMK customizations.

Not if my AI-powered extension blocker extension that blocks AI extensions is installed first. Of course, my extension would then realize it must remove itself, causing a deadlock, breaking your browser, preventing you from seeing any AI related articles as well as the rest of the internet.

Comment Re:But is it a good mouse? (Score 1) 49

The updated Microsoft Pro Intellimouse is a great mouse. At least I think so. It is comfortable, reliable and seems well made. I use AutoHotKey to add functionality to the buttons (e.g. Forward Button+Middle Button = Task View.) I refuse to use any Logitech or Razer products due to the crappy software you need to install for customization. I don't even use the Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center software since I just don't need it. It also just works as expected on my Linux machines.
