on the subject, my macbook air has decided that it's always plugged in when running windows in bootcamp. no idea how or why, it just shows "plugged in" and a decreasing battery percentage when running off the battery for the last few days. kinda fucks with power management, but if i cared about battery life i wouldn't be using windows, i guess.

rotor posted:i have no idea why apple has now and forever been just incapable of making a decent mouse, but here we are. some gigantic moron at apple litterrally thought that more than 1 mouse button was bad design. then rather than admit they were totally wrong and make a working mouse, steve jobs went whiney baby mode and approved a bunch of spite designs where they in theory support multiple buttons but have so many other flaws as to make the users hate them.

*jony ives excretes another turd mouse* jobs: "see! multiple buttons is bad! i cant believe this is what you wanted!" you know the more i think about it the more i think jobs kept ives around because he knew ives's designs were bad and jobs just hated apple users.

Agile Vector posted:it takes two AAAs that last ages (and load the same direction, which looks nice?) yeah it's kinda neat that they can do that now. it's because the electronics are all so low-voltage and boost converters are now so good that most things can run on under 1.5v, so you can just put the batteries in parallel for extra runtime instead of having to line them up in series to make enough voltage for older circuit technologies. the mouse will probably work fine with just one battery installed, too.

another cool thing is that i needed to pay for this app called "PDF EXpert" which is alright but feels like scam software to get close to the functionality of Edge lol. edge somehow turned into an epic pdf marker-uper thing. so hosed up. sooooo hosed up. even had dark mode w/ a weird plugin.

okay so say you really gently caress up, and it's the middle of the day and you've been ignoring the 'mouse battery low' popup on that's been showing on your computer for the past two weeks, and then your mouse finally dies. literally all you have to do is plug it in and get a cup of coffee lol. just walk away lol. and then when you're back it's good for the rest of the day (and probably the next day too, tbh) and you can just plug it in when you leave. this isn't hard lol. if you're such an incredible fuckup that you literally never plan ahead, then this will happen to you at most, three or four times a year
