Comment Re:All rechargeable mouses suck (Score 1) 119

Looking at the dimensions for this mouse, it wouldn't be able to fit a AAA in there even if you lubed it with Vaseline or grease.

New Magic Mouse (USBC) - Black Multi-Touch Surface

Height: 0.85 inch (2.16 cm)

Width: 2.25 inches (5.71 cm)

Depth: 4.47 inches (11.35 cm)

An AAA battery measures 10.5 mm (0.41 in) in diameter and 44.5 mm (1.75 in) in length.

Seems to me you could fit quite a few in there, even with shitty apple design.

Your story is not everyone's story. I agree that people should be responsible for there own actions but that doesn't change the fact that I became addicted to cigarettes merely by being around adults that smoked indoors when I was a child. As a teen, I went through withdrawal symptoms before I ever even knew what withdrawal was. After a few years of this repeated cycle, I tried a cigarette on a whim to get rid of my routine 'headache' and was amazed that it actually worked. So was it really my fault that I was addicted? Because I only fault myself for my choice to take up smoking after I found out. Good luck with quitting.

I've played video games on 28.8k Dialup, 56k dialup, ISDN, DSL, Satellite, Cable, and Starlink; While I wholeheartedly agree that satellite internet used to be complete garbage, starlink is not the same. No it's not perfect yet but the latency is much much lower than you would expect and is capable of playing and even HOSTING games for friends. So if starlink can do it easily enough for my non techy, mountain dwelling friends to figure out, then im sure someone else can do it and even improve upon it. Which appears to be happening here.

Posting on Twitter/X or whatever the fuck it's called now is not legal speech. Twitter/x is not a government entity and you have ZERO entitlement to its platform and/or service. Businesses generally have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason and if Musk doesn't want YOU on HIS platform then you are just gonna have to accept that because there's nothing illegal about it.

How often do you run across people that insist that they need Chrome (which they might call 'google') because they "have google" (they mean gmail)?

I think you have Google confused with Apple products.... Their monopolistic, proprietary and predatory approach is much more evident than anything Google has done.
