I still think the Apple car project was abandoned because they couldn’t figure out a way to flip the car over for charging.
Oh, they’d definitely figure it out: How about an optional ramp accessory, of course cryptographically coupled to the car for security reasons. And while we’re at it, why not place the engine start/stop button at the bottom? After all, if you’re trying to stop the engine you’re driving it wrong.
I hope they keep the charging port position just so people can keep shitting on it.
I’d love this too.
Having the port there is a not subtle hint about how often you need to charge it (next to never).
If it dies plug it in, hit the washroom and when you’re back it will have enough charge to last to the end of the day, then plug it in before you leave and it’s good for 3-4 months minimum.
Having used Apple computers since the Apple II+, I think I’m allowed to say that the vast majority of Apple’s mouse designs have been utter trash. The one that I might give a pass to is the ADB Mouse 2. I’m not expecting Apple to change the habit of a lifetime by designing a comfortable mouse.
Apple IIe>Macintosh SE>Performa>iMac (dumb hockey puck mouse)>G3>G4>…(a bunch of PowerBooks & Macbooks)
The SE mouse felt good to hold and click, but don’t forget cleaning out hand goo from the mouse ball. Optical mice were a game changer, so much better, that I used an MS Intellimouse as soon as it was USB. Had the AA powered Magic Mouse with my last iMac Once the trackpad in the MacBooks got glass and big, I mostly stopped using mice.
Touchpads are now a necessity for my work (as a graphics/3D cad/lite full-stack dev).
Legitimately if they fix the ergonomics and the charging port it might actually not be a terrible choice. I keep the magic trackpad around for gestures whilst using my regular mouse
I use the Magic Mouse in my left hand and the Magic Trackpad with my right. Makes all gestures and control possible.
There’s no way you use windows in a gesture only mode VS just a mouse/trackpad and keyboard, I don’t believe it for a second
Well yeah but you have a keyboard right there. I thought you were saying you use a mouse and trackpad only, with no keyboard at all.
