  • You seems to not grasp why people don’t like the mouse charging design. Yes you can do all of those things you mentioned and its probably fine. Why people hate it though? Apple is forcing you to use their products the way they want you to. You’re changing your whole workflow to bend to their will. That’s why people hate it. Not that it’s a problem, but that you now have to mess around and take 15 minutes out or your day waiting for a mouse to charge instead of… Just plugging in a cable to a port, positioned in a sane way, the top side of the mouse!

    But instead, people make up excuses and are totally fine having a corporation tell them “go get some coffee, because of our design decisions, you can’t use your product right now…”

    Like, its just a weird, stupid, petty design decision. Imagine if your laptop wouldn’t charge while you used it, while every other laptop can. Sure it can have amazing battery life, but the 1 time it dies, you have to stop your work, and wait for it to charge, before using the laptop again all because someone said ‘nah, I don’t want the user to be able to use the product that way.’

    Again, its stupid and petty.




  • Yah, been playing it on my steamdeck, I forgot how hard the first diablo was, haven’t played it since in was a kid. I got a warrior all the way to diablo, but couldn’t kill him, character wasn’t powerful enough. So i started a new game with my character and thought I’d train in nightmare, and come back to kill diablo in normal later. But then I read the game ends in each difficulty when you kill diablo and what ever loot you get, you can’t pick up before the ending dialogue screens, and diablo isn’t treated as much of a special character in regards to loot so… I never went back to kill diablo, because what’s the point?

    Now I got all the way to level 13 in nightmare and stalled again because my character can’t survive the balrogs, and isn’t powerful enough. Usually when you got stuck in the original game, you could dupe gold or stat increasing potions or something to get your character past their slump, but they fixed the dupe bug in the devilutionx code. Now there’s nothing really to help you out when stuck. Crazy thing is sometimes you have to restart because you’ve run out of gold for healing potions after trying and failing to clear a level.

    I might be putting the game down for a bit. It was incredibly fun while I played though.






  • Yup, they got me. Signed up for “price for life” fiber for $65/m, didn’t take a screenshot so i have no proof. 2 years later, nothing change contract wise, but now my bill is $85/m and I can’t fight it, again no proof. They were extremely careful to not have price for life branding on anything after you signed up, no email, no bill, no messages, nothing. Fuck Centurylink.

    Now they’re trying to get me to switch to Quantum Fiber which apparently is still Centurylink, and the carrot or stick they’re using is the price for life rate at Quantum Fiber… Why would I trust a price for life promo when you reneged on the last price for life promo, in less than a year?

    Again, Fuck Centurylink.
