Our local racist politician here in Australia didn’t complete high school
She’s stated education is woke…
I hate trackpads in general.
Their first gen of touchpad however was the worst I ever saw
It was on the last PowerBook pro (I think)
And it was just yet another example of bad hardware apple released, but few people talk about, and Steve was in charge when it happened
I’ve been trying (like everyone else) for steam controller.
My sidewinder was awesome. Actually forgot all about it
I mean, check their puck mouse lol.
Go find a mighty mouse and use the right mouse button every day
Try to find me 2 worse designed mice.
Or, tell me the good thing about those 2 mice
The most basic benefit (ease of use) isn’t even good. Because the buttons on the mighty mouse isn’t obvious, I saw a lot of elderly people struggle to Click consistently. And if they wanted to do a right click, it wasn’t going to happen
It might be subjective, but you’ll struggle to find anyone defending these two products
And you definitely will struggle to find anyone who will say that the best spot for a USB port is on the bottom 😂
It would be… Sold them for years… But, its informed bias. Owned a Powermac, Mac Pro, and various other gear.
And, the things that people whine about in Apple forums weren’t even the most common issues
Every bit of gear I owned was overpriced considering the issues with the hardware itself.
In fact, I watched as Apple’s market grew as people walked in believing Mac’s can’t get viruses and don’t crash (and this was whilst iLife was super buggy, I was constantly fixing preferences).
Each is entitled to their own opinion, but the only good thing I can credit MacOS for these days, is IOS support built in, and not being as much a clusterfuck as Windows.
In practice, if it wasn’t for IOS support, Linux has basically caught up I feel.

8·7 days agoI really wish Jolla got their crap together honestly
I was actually selling Apple gear when they released the Mighty mouse. It sounded AWESOME. We were so excited. On their ads, it sounded like we’d get a product with touchpad buttons basically that killed their previous (worse) puck mice.
What we got, was an overpriced mouse which was near-damned impossible to click the right button (you got RSI every time you tried) and which was physical click.
Microsoft’s super cheap basic mice we sold 10x faster (at least), and were 1/3rd the price
The reality is, they really f*** up most of their products, but people make excuses for them. Even the iPod shuffle, there were good cheap alternatives (I had one), and mine even had a display. OSX 10 used to have corrupt preferences regularly, SMB was crap until at least OSX 10.5, etc. One release, there was a bug where the network broke completely after a few minutes (there is no way anyone couldn’t have noticed during testing)
My Mac Studio M2 was the only computer I have ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB-C cables (and, it was a few of them from differing brands). Antenna gate, and they tried to water down the problems, by comparing to other manufacturers and said “if you hold them in this totally unrealistic way, you have similar issues”
Apple is incapable of making a good mouse.
In his defense, at least he was the one piloting it.
Even if he was an arrogant dumbass

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Reddit is finally entirely dead to meEnglish
6·13 days agoThat’s why I just left. You can use the redirect to old Reddit extension, but this is just so fucking dumb.
It’s like an extra step, to get access to their ads too. No idea why anyone was paying for ads on Reddit before, but seems more pointless now
Also, I actually drive a Jeep Unlimited (which is actually a fairly big car). And yet, never had an issue fitting into any of these spots. I’ve literally seen though ute drivers who pull into a spot badly, and not even try to fix the issue. Considering buying some stickers to throw on their windscreen.
Here in Australia, a ram 1500 nearly hit me on my bike by going the wrong way around a roundabout too. They didn’t even slow down to check.
I slammed my brake and swerved.
If they can’t even successfully navigate a right hand turn on a roundabout, they shouldn’t be here. And the drivers park and drive them at a lower standard, instead of higher too
And the IGA near me is full of large utes during lunch hours using 2-3 parking spots each.


Sold both of my oculus headsets a few months ago. Looking forward to this
