Not the commenter but in this instance it seems like if you want something you need to either be able make/maintain it or fund someone who will, no?

That’s called Journalism

You’re treating this article as an attack when it’s not one. She turned it on to see what would happen, because she’s a technology reporter, and then reported on what happened. And her reporting isn’t even all that negative.

Pointing out that something feels a little creepy, while explicitly stating that you don’t yuck other people’s yum is hardly “farming outrage.” We collectively need to have earnest conversations about how how emerging technologies affect our experiences, and her tone is pretty middle-of-the-road.

“Maybe?”

Regulating “false information?”

There was no false information and the substance of the clip is just video of a person responding to a question.

There’s clearly enough people who need to be told this, given any thread on this topic in recent years

This, people are talking oil sales as if this is just economics. This is Cold War.

I don’t know why everyone in this thread is thinking so small picture. We’re in a Cold War.

China has a significant interest in disrupting western control and does so without provoking direct open war by funding Iran’s funding of destabilizing forces (Houthi, hezbollah, taliban, Isis, hamas).

It did actually happen. Maybe read far enough to justify the snark

Please explain how someone whose job is to share their opinion is being irresponsible for sharing their opinion.

Not sure if you have insight to supply chain costs and how they inflated cost during the pandemic, but me and most I know who do understand the truth behind the greedflation dynamic

McSweeney’s is a literary journal and most of their online content is well-crafted satire

Yeah, McSweeney’s digital platform is a satire blog.

The hard copies are great fiction & poetry though.

Supply chain guy - This is it right here. Hardware accessories like mice aren’t driving substantial sales or revenue; they’re just a cost of doing business if you sell PCs.

But swapping tooling and retraining staff on assembly is extremely disruptive for a manufacturer. That disruption is passed back to the 1st party brand in incremental FOB and per-unit surcharge.

The incremental cost eats at your margin, which eats at your profit, which eats at your street price.

So, if you’re forced to choose between margin erosion and incremental cost for a product that has little effect on sales growth, you save the money and recycle the design.

People will bitch about the port on that mouse while they walk to the Apple Store to buy a new Mac that comes bundled with said mouse.

Apple will save millions annually by not optimizing a product that doesn’t really make them any money on its own.

When it’s reasonably cost effective to make a better peripheral, they will. Until then, they’re going to pay more attention to their books than people’s complaints, because mice don’t drive their business.

Touch and hold space, you receive haptic feedback and you can drag the cursor at will, using the keyboard pane as a touchpad

You can hold down the space bar on the keyboard and drag to open a full-featured cursor

Please tell me you’re not trying to say what it seems like you’re trying to say. There are few disadvantageous statistics in the us that don’t disadvantage the black community in the US, and there’s more than correlation to back up those relationships.

If you think open AI purchased all of this content I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn

How about the idea that these artists were given no choice in how their personal IP was used? Can I just steal your valuable work in the name of my own technical ‘progress?’
