I have an MX master 2, and I use a G703 Lightspeed with a power play mat.

It’s incredible to me that their dongles don’t come in USB-C by default, I’m pretty sure that they don’t offer either a Lightspeed or unifying dongle in USB-C, which is even more baffling.

I haven’t looked at the product lines in a while, but even when I did, it was obvious USB-C was the way to go, and nothing was offered.

I also have a couple of their webcams, and they’re all USB-A as well. Just wild.

I miss actual dock connectors. Cramming everything into a single USB-C connection has always been problematic for me. I have a lot of stuff.

My work laptop has a USB-C dock where I have Ethernet (1000mbps), three display port displays, mouse, keyboard, wireless headset dongle, and a dual head USB to displayport adapter.

That’s a lot of bandwidth.

I frequently have little problems keeping everything working correctly.

Luckily, I don’t push high bandwidth video though any display for work, so generally I don’t see many bandwidth problems.

Like mice and webcams?

… Yes, I do use Logitech products, why do you ask?

Indeed. I have absolutely no way of knowing anything for certain.

I’m just screaming into the void from this hellscape we call Earth.

I’d bet that channel “members” don’t get ads for that channel regardless of premium status.

IMO, Google made premium, almost nobody bought it. So they went after adblockers, hoping that people would get premium to get rid of the ads. People most just Adblock harder.

While this is happening, one exec is peering over the fence at twitch. Where they only way to get away from ads without a pretty good Adblock, is to subscribe to the individual creator.

So they make “memberships” to channels a thing.

Almost nobody buys that either. So they go… What if, even if someone is premium, we give them ads, unless they’re a channel member.

Genius.

Paying to block ads per creator/channel/whatever, is a special level of bullshit that twitch has always had.

The system is working as expected. The companies are trying to find the best way to extract the most value from you using their platform.
