What's the value proposition here? Free no-questions-asked replacement if it breaks? Free upgrades when new models come out (though they have no real incentive to keep developing new "forever mice")?

If my mice on average last, say, 6 years and cost $175 (I splurged on a high-end one last time), the subscription will have to be less than $2.40/month, and since customers absolutely hate subscriptions, especially if there's no real benefit, probably even less than $1.50/month for most to even consider it.

In fact the Logitech mouse before my current mouse lasted 12 years and cost me $75, so that's a max subscription cost of 50 cents/month for it to be comparable.

Most slicer software is cross platform, free and open source. The biggest ones are PrusaSlicer, Cura and OrcaSlicer. You can use all of these with lots of different brands of printers. Creality's own slicer used to just be a slightly modified version of Cura (Not sure if their new "Creality Print" software is, but it doesn't matter, you're rarely tied to any specific software, at least with FDM printers). Bambu Lab Studio is not available for Linux, but OrcaSlicer is, and as far as I know it's just an open source community edition of Studio.

In other words, you'll have plenty of options on Linux.

I find it interesting that Germany is so far behind when it comes to IT and modernization. It's like you're stuck in 1990, even though you're surrounded by countries that have used chip payment cards since the early 2000s and contactless payments since the early to mid 2010s. Nobody here in Denmark has touched a fax machine in the last 15-20 years, and apparently Germans still fax things sometimes to this day??

I've had about 1000+ tabs open before, but I've gotten better at keeping them under control. It's very normal for me to hit a couple hundred, once in a while, though, before I go through them all and weed out the ones I'm done with. Right now I only have 24, but 19 of them are my pinned tabs that are used all the time.

Profitic

Is your title a portmanteau of prophetic and profit?

Vi er jo i princippet låst til android eller iphone

Man kan også få en gratis kodeviser. Den er altid rar at have som backup, selv hvis appen virker fint på ens telefon.

Den lidt mørkere røde farve er pænere, så jeg er glad for det lykkedes os at skifte farven ud.

Tak til alle der hjælper med til at lave det danske flag øverst til højre.

Fair enough. Sorry.

No, but it also gives you a wider selection of mice to choose from, since you could just ignore the wireless functionality. Some of them may cost a bit more, but not necessarily very much.

Because some people want both options.
