Agile Vector posted:seeing one of those on a laptop at work is a sure sign you will see that person repeatedly dropping their mouse trying to walk to a meeting otoh, it seems like kids these days have quit learning how to use a mouse at least two thirds of my students, who apparently have only ever used a laptop computer, do all their design work with the trackpad. illustrator, photoshop, solidworks, you name it. it's absolutely infuriating to watch because they are so slow. i tell them "buy a mouse, seriously, it will really improve your experience" and they go "i like the trackpad, i know how to use it and it works" and they spend 30 seconds painstakingly finger-dragging to do something that takes me a flick of the mouse and a keyboard shortcut. and they do it badly, too. if i never have to watch a student move a line back and forth 20 times trying to get it placed correctly because their finger does not allow single-pixel precision, it'll be too soon. on occasion, when i'm trying to walk them through something and they're just stubbornly plodding along, i will say "let me just show you on my computer" and then deliberately blast through the thing they've been trying to do for 10 minutes in 3.8 seconds and stare at them while it sinks in before going back to show them step-by step. argh. this topic really angries up my blood

nong posted:shaggar, bsd and sagebrush, ya'll so so wrong and racist for lumping the taiwanese and chinese together it's true that a lot of the high-grade output is from taiwanese firms' mainland plants that doesn't change anything about chinese business as a whole. it is not somehow racist to point out that mainland chinese courts have little interest in assisting foreign litigators

hell the major difference in business climate between taiwan and the mainland isn't culture taiwan is mostly chinese, demographically. it is a distinctly chinese culture, where chinese languages are the primary language. but taiwan is a vibrant democracy with working courts and institutions subject to public scrutiny, and the mainland is a one-party state with censored media funny how that changes the business ethos

i hate how gaming is going towards dota and, i guess, because i've never played them, other sorts of games for idiots that only use 1 or 2 buttons because i really like having a 7 button mouse. my least favorite mouse buttons are the ones they put below the scroll wheel because my hands are too big to hit them without probably getting rsi

i got a logitech mouse and I really wanted to like it but the mouse acceleration profile was infurating.. could NEVER find a good combo of speed and acceleration and it ddnt seem to just use ordinary windows one which is perfect also ironically the laser was better and would work when the mouse was slightly above the mouse pad, I realose I pick up the mouse often to re-place it to continue moving, but this one that never worked coz the laser was stil picking it up so had to move it high the very cheap microsoft mouse that comes with a very cost effective wireless keyboard/mouse and dongle is so good not bluetooth so dont have to worry about operating system either. just works and I think Ive changed batteries three times in ever? its a fuckin excellent mouse

I've been using trackpads for ~15 years and I still reach for a mouse if I have to do anything remotely design-ey I've had to do actual work on a trackpad and it's painful

actually the office workers of tomorrow are all going to sit around poking their fat fingers at the screen because that's the only input method they know how to use thanks microsoft (although it was mostly apples fault)

Sagebrush posted:otoh, it seems like kids these days have quit learning how to use a mouse I cannot imagine how quickly I would lose my mind trying to do CAD on a trackpad. It's bad enough if I sit down at someone else's desk and they don't have a spacemouse, I will keep reflexively feeling to the left of the keyboard for it when I get pissed off with the lovely mouse controls. They've put a touch interface into the new version of our software, presumably so at trade shows and the like you can awkwardly show customers poo poo on your tablet before accidentally vanishing it because the software suddenly decided the rotation point should be somewhere meters away in space.

I’ve done a lot of gis & rs with a trackpad and it sucks, if I don’t have a mouse I look for programmatic solutions
