On “field trips” where laptop is too much and just the iphone is too little, I have been pairing my ipad with a k380 for the last 200 years and cannot complain much. The only warning I get is that k380 causes some kind of interference with the apple pencil and other bluetooth connected devices. Can’t precise exactly how much though.
Didn't you look at the mx trackball? I've had one for ages [0], and it still goes strong. The only annoyance is that I regularly have to clean its base, or a bunch of grime accumulates.

[0] I don't remember when I bought it exactly, but I'm sure it was before covid because I remember having it delivered at my old office with a bunch of other mice to test. I moved to a new office in 2020.
I'm stuck in the same relationship with them:
MX Master 3s/4 is my perfect productivity mouse. Problem? The rubber coating gradually disintegrates and accumulates dirt.
ERGO K860 is my perfect keyboard. Problem? The plastic ABS surface of the keys wears and smooths in just a few months. The first set of AAA batteries have a far longer life!
If only they didn't cheap out on the materials and plastic quality.
I have an ergo for two years, used eight hours most days, and apart from the space bar the keys still look good. Do you by chance have quite sweaty/greasy fingers or eat while typing? I can't see any other reason why the keys would wear that quickly.
Same here, seems like everyone has forgotten how to make rubber products; my 10yr thinkpad is a mix of brittle and going-gooey on different parts. I'm on my second MX Anywhere
I use 5-min epoxy and a toothpick to rebuild the nubs when they wear off. Keyboards don't last long if you have calluses
Get a soldering iron and fix! I did. It’s sort of fun in a way. Shouldn’t have to do it, sure, but it saves you buying more and more. You could fix the fleet!
I have the same trackball, and did end up having to change the switches after a year. They need changing again, I should stock up on them in the hopes of having something that works for a while.
the mind boggles what those numbers could actually build (as in actual physical construction) and yet here we are with so much „entertainment“ options we can‘t decide what to watch.
They've solved that problem by baking a surveillance infrastructure into the system. The personalized home screen (boosted by a crippled browse interface) decides what they want you to watch.
I was hoping firehosing this much cash was going toward decreasing the grid interconnection queue. But there's nothing that indicates that will be the case; the article presents the ever-growing queue as if it were a static (not addressed) issue.
So our ready-now-but-endlessly-waiting-to-be-connected renewable sources will be mostly unaffected - even after spending 1.4T to solve the supply issues.
and yet everybody is one discoord channel away from everybody else hundreds if not thousands of km away, eager to talk, voice their opinions etc… crossing the street, meet your neighbor, too much hassle
vehicular speed is very important as a consideration in any road curvature, as well as “pitch and yaw” when changing slope and direction at speed, so… simple it is not, and if we are mostly “offsetting” straight lines and arcs, we are doing it wrong
the most profitable pizza, pizza base + one (literally one) piece of minced tomato, yes you read that right, one “nico” of tomato
that pizza will set you back 0 USD because rounding error, the dough is free (if I remember well) and a bit of minced tomato is less than a rounding error, so effectively zero
I'm pretty sure you just described Little Caesar's Pizza business model. I recall way back they were $5 but even today here in California their large pepperoni is only $10 where competitors are charging $27-35
Two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions."
yes but maybe it’s still cheaper in DE than the time cost of learning JP
it’s cray cray that in non Schengen foreigners can drive 90 days im Germany with their foreign issued driving license, but natives are subject to insane whims of the driving Schule…
They traded my Canadian license for a German one. No tests required. I didn’t even now about the priority signs. I learned most of it when I did my motorcycle license later.
That loophole has been closed years ago by requiring classes and tests in your country of residence. I believe that’s the case since almost a decade, but I could be wrong.
