Yeah, apparently the subscription for the mouse would be on top of the upfront cost. I'm honestly baffled that Logitech's CEO thinks anyone would buy it, this feels like an april fools joke
This is so absurd. The only updates peripherals need are firmware bug fixes. And it's a standard that these updates are free. Having subscriptions for hardware is kinda dystopic tbh
From the podcast:
Some only have a mouse or only a keyboard, but many of them have both. But the thing that shocked me was that the average spend on that globally is $26, which is really so low. This is stuff you use every day, that sits on your desk every day, that you look at every day. That’s like the price of four coffees at Starbucks or less than a Nike running shirt. There is so much room to create more value in that space as we make people more productive — to extend human potential.
You know why on average people spend so little? Because a mouse is just a mouse. It doesn't need to do anything besides controlling the cursor. It doesn't need a "dedicated AI button that launches Logi AI Prompt Builder" (which is just a ChatGPT wrapper btw)
I don't want to be that one person that just complains about capitalism under every post, but things like this make it hard. We have already perfected the design of a mouse. But every year publicly traded companies need to make more money than in the previous year, so let's add subscriptions to everything. And also AI, because investors love it
Anyways, I'm between 1 - 2, and I just wanted to say that just bc I can visualize things in my head doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing things with my eyes. If I was good at drawing, I definitely would draw my OCs and such
But no, I don't watch adult videos. I just don't really like nsfw. Maybe I'm asexual or smt, idk
FINALLY someone gets this. I don't care about the "premium look" whatever that means, I just don't want my phone to break when I accidentally drop it. Which is why I always put a case on my phone
In fact, I'm pretty sure phone manufacturers started putting glass on the back of phones specifically to make them less durable so that customers buy a new phone sooner
Yeah it won't be in regular PCs anytime soon, since this feature apparently requires
256 GB of SSD
16 GB of RAM
An "NPU" which AFAIK most computers don't have
Windows 11
But the point is that they market Recall as this great new premium feature when it's actually very dystopic. Even if you trust Microsoft that it's gonna be entirely local (which I don't), there are lots of other things that could go wrong. Like Recall having your passwords/private conversations/stuff under NDAs in it's database, bugs that could potentially leak the data, malware whose purpose is to exploit it to get access to everything you do on your computer, or a government forcing Microsoft to add a backdoor edit: damn I've read this like 10 times before replying and just realized that you did say that the Recall feature sucks
I personally find 2-space indented code harder to read than 4-space. If I'm working on someone else's codebase which is indented with 2-spaces then I have to cope. But if it's tab-indented then I can just edit the setting in my editor to display a tab char as 4 whitespace chars
A custom ROM based on AOSP, which offers a minimal UI enhancement & close to stock pixel Android ROM with great "Performance", "Security" and "Stability".
What makes this even funnier is that on their website they say that the ROM is great and all (with very poor grammar and odd phrasing), but they don't say what they actually changed. The closest thing I could find was their screenshot gallery where they show some new icons and AI-generated wallpapers
Also corporate memphis art everywhere because why not lol
I feel sorry for anyone who was using this ROM, but this whole thing is hilarious
