  • You mean literally every single other wireless mouse that you can buy.

    I’ve also used this mouse for many years, and it is infuriating when it dies and I have to stop what I’m doing and just… wait.

    No other mouse requires that I adhere to a “charging routine.” With other mice, I can just leave my desk. I don’t have to make sure I plug my mouse in before I leave work, otherwise risking getting out of the habit and then having my work interrupted by a hilarious (I know it’s hilarious because my coworkers laugh at me when it happens) design flaw.

    I fixed the problem though. I had a wired mouse tucked away that I could use for a day rather than do the 2 minute charging shuffle when my magic mouse died.





  • I would get a slight buzz if it had been a while since my last cigarette, but otherwise it was a satisfying of cravings. It’s been about 10 years and I still miss being able to smoke a cigarette during or after stressful situations, such as watching sports.

    It’s kind of like sleep. If you get enough sleep, you don’t necessarily feel good, just normal. If you don’t get enough sleep, you feel bad. If you regularly don’t get enough sleep, you might think getting enough sleep feels good, because you’re so used to feeling bad and you have something to compare it to. If you’re currently in a state of being tired, it feels good to lie down and go to sleep.

    The act of smoking is like waking up and snoozing your alarm and going back to sleep. It feels good to go back to sleep, but only because you’re tired and you’re satisfying that need. Someone who sets their alarm early on purpose in order to get that “go back to sleep” feeling when they snooze might seem crazy to people who just get enough sleep. And, like smoking, it might piss off the people around you because they have to listen to your alarm go off constantly.




  • Agree with reducing power. A common mistake when using multiple access points is to set them all to full power.

    Devices usually don’t constantly look for a better signal, instead they look for alternatives once the current connection quality is bad. Some devices will hold on for dear life until it’s borderline unusable.

    Unless you’re looking for redundancy, the best case scenario is to have only one good option in every area of your home. That’s not always possible, especially where they overlap, but the closer you can get to that ideal, the more likely it is that your device will make the switch.

    You should also be able to adjust the backhaul power separately, so you don’t have connectivity issues between the extender and router.
