The last 3 web marketing startups are exclusively MacOS. I had to get all of them to let me use a PC as an exception because the mass majority of our web visitors use PCs and we are not able to QA correctly because everyone at the company uses a Mac.

I tried to use the MacOS. There seems like there is an intentional input lag. It's slight but it just feels slower. I have a Samsung Odyssey OLED 49 ultra wide and it restricts my fps to 120 when it's able to do 240hz.

It won't let me plug in 3 monitors. And even with just 2 connected, when I'm working on a secondary screen it blurs my clock on the primary screen. But wwwwwhhhhhhyyyyyyy.....?!?!?! What's the fucking point?!?! Why do people insist on using Mac's?!?! This OS is terrible.

Is there a reason you're coding with 240fps

I use a wireless mouse from Logitech for work (and so does a lot of my coworkers), and never in its ~5 years of use did I use the mouse plugged in.

The device gives multiple low battery warnings well in advance. I just plug it in before logging off after I receive the second or third warning.

I acknowledge Apple’s obtuseness of choosing form over function with the Magic Mouse (among other devices across their catalogue), but anyone who has used a wireless mouse daily would know that it is not as big of a deal as the media and community makes it out to be every time a discussion takes place about the Magic Mouse.

"yOuRe hOLdInG iT WrONg" apple users will jump through any hoop to forgive apple shitting on them. I never plug my mouse in from a low battery warning, why would I when I can just plug it in and use it corded when it dies?

There is no low battery warning with the magic mouse. it will just shut down. This is an immense usability issue to the point that I had two on standby at work because the fucking things will just STOP working. This is a major design flaw and classic Apple—they have no direction in their product creation and haven’t since Steve Jobs died.

edit: apparently there is a warning but the fact remains it is a horribly designed product.

All of my wireless mice are Logitech. I have never used one while it’s plugged in.

The charging port is one thing. What’s worse to me is that it’s just a shit mouse.

Had to use one for two days recently; my wrist started hurting like hell. It lacks basic ergonomics and the scrolling is horrendous.

Yea. The charging port isn’t as huge a deal as people make it out to be. In the time it takes to get a cup of coffee, the mouse will charge enough to last the rest of the day. It’s just a really unergonomic mouse. Get a Logitech MX Master instead. Your wrist will thank you.

no no literally every other mouse manufacturer has got the shape of human hands wrong. you're probably holding it the wrong way. your hand has a design flaw.

Yes, yes, yes! The easy workaround no one is talking about is ... buy a 2nd Apple mouse. Now! Obey!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

if you put one magic mouse on top of the other you almost get something you can hold in your palm so yeah definitely

It was never a problem for me. I don’t use my mouse 24 hours a day and the battery lasts a month.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 3 weeks ago

First time, people thought it was an innocent design mistake. An oversight ona minor product.

Next update, OK still there, but maybe it was a leftover from the original design.

This time. No, it's intentional. You deserve all the mocking heading your way.

Make a wireless mousepad to charge it and it will not need the USB port. And it will cost 3 times as much. Let the pad charge an iPhone too. It would be perfect.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A mousepad? From Apple? Didn't you know that all MacBook users use them exclusively inside a trendy coffee shop or on the couch? There's no place for a mousepad!

Apple doesn't innovate any longer, though. So no... It's not perfect for them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I've got the logitech one that does this and it's amazing. Love it.

The problem they have is that they already used iPad so they are probably waiting until that product is dead before recycling the name.
