They are currently working on ways to make us avoid smartphones altogether, no idea if that is deliberate or not though, since humanity is completely absurd.
- Comment on US cloud 'kill switch' is as dangerous as ransomware, European businesses fear 1 week ago:
Trusting the usa is obviously as silly as trusting any company that emulates US ‘morals’
If companies want privacy they need to consider taking a step back to on-site storage.
If customers want privacy, they might be shit out of luck.

You live in a supply side economy due to choice.
The people have the power, they just do not have the will.

- Comment on Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows 2 weeks ago:
The pop up is not the issue. The recent gamers nexus video about this is well worth watching.
LG believes it is your responsibility to tell anyone entering your premises, that your LG device will be spying on them.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
Non-replaceable batteries are bad, but they are far form new, they have already been tried and are known to be deliberately anti-consumer, which is why the eu is doing something about it. Every single person does not need to buy ewaste for something to be known as ewaste.
Consumer tech would have progressed a great deal more if consumers had standards. At the moment it has just gone from bigger number better, to put ai in the name. Tech is meant to be better than that, sustainability is a massive part of long term viability due to finite resources.

I guess that would depend on how often you used the torch, for me rechargeable batteries last for years in them.
My headphones have a cord, because logic (for my use case anyway). I have no idea how long batteries tend to last in cordless ones.
So with the mouse, what you are saying is that you could use it while it was plugged in with a cord?
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure of the advantage, docking the device instead of putting the batteries in a recharger? The batteries do not need to be charged that often anyway, and that would increase the cost of every device, as opposed to just buying one charger that should last for a very, very long time.
Putting batteries in a charger isn’t difficult.

There are things much more important than your preferences
If it was all just about my preferences, we would all be using corded… better, simpler, less waste.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
Why do you believe good options don’t exist?
Demand creates supply
Apathetic consumers get trash
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
Game controllers can generally be used that way too, so you pose a good question.
The only logical answer might be because they want to create waste, and consumers have not demanded that they offer corded/cordless mice.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
Batteries do not last forever.
These dodgy companies have it far too easy with apathetic consumerists. No wonder the world is on fire.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
I use corded, have previously used rechargeable AA mice though, it’s not an issue and you don’t have to worry about the built in battery ever being the problem with the mouse.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
Nah, non-propreitary or the mouse can remain unsold.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t buy a cordless mouse that couldn’t use rechargeable AA’s or AAA’s. Consumers really need to take control, these companies deliberately create ewaste.
