Yeah, I wouldn’t trust it on a computer port. I’d just plug it into a power brick.

Damn, check out the price of the thing someone else linked to at AliExpress for a fraction of that price. But having to spend money on that should not be necessary.

Oh very cool! And you can’t beat that price. Thanks.

Well the beauty of it was that it was comfortable to use with index finger or thumb. Which was nice when you were doing something precise or wanted to do something that involved a lot of broad movement.

Nope. My daughter is notorious for mixing up cables when they come out of the brick. Some charge her tablet, some are for data transfer, some charge other devices but not her tablet. It’s super confusing. I had to start labeling them for her.

I love trackballs (except that Kensington above. It was basically a pinch your skin torture device.) I still use the Logitech M570 trackball. It’s pretty good.

My favorite of all time though was the Logitech Trackman Vista. Absolutely perfect form factor that Logitech just gave up on one day and I will never know why.

And what the hell, add RS-422 while you’re at it. And a parallel port! And the left side expansion port they used to have on the Amiga 500 and 1000!

Doubtful.

USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.

I would agree with you if there were a simple way to tell what the USB-C cable I have in my hand can be used for without knowing beforehand. Otherwise, for example, I don’t know whether the USB-C cable will charge my device or not. There should have been a simple way to label them for usage that was baked into the standard. As it is, the concept is terrific, but the execution can be extremely frustrating.

Indiana Beach commercials did not lie to me after all!

I can believe India here in Indiana (no pun intended). There are a surprising number of businesses owned by South Asians, even here in little Terre Haute. That’s a huge difference from when I was a kid too. The somewhat more cosmopolitan town of Bloomington, where I grew up, didn’t even have an Indian restaurant until the late 90s.

There’s also Hugo Boss.

rsync isn’t that fancy, but rsync is a nicer sync than rneighborsync. In fact, their whole kytchen is pretty ugly.

I don’t think that ever happened with Colbert, did it?

Considering what The Onion has been able to do with manipulating video for the sake of comedy, I can’t wait to see what they do with any of their footage.

What problem did that cause? It only made everyone else laugh at them harder.

Or until Trump decides to have an army of hackers like Putin.
