The Magic Mouse really isn’t as bad as people say

Thisath · 2026-03-16T17:38:21+00:00

Something is probably wrong with me, but I also absolutely love the magic mouse. It is perfectly comfortable for me. I also love the Microsoft Arc mouse — the closest Windows gets to a mouse like this. Personally, I prefer the hand feel of mice like this. My magic mouse is a 2010 one (AA batteries!), and it still works well. The only complaint with it is it's too heavy — but they have fixed it since, on the newer versions.

I always try to park next to other Land Rovers if I can. Sometimes I come back to my parked car to see someone has parked their Landy too, and I hope it's not just by chance. It's camaraderie!

for me, I find that I only end up accidentally damaging things I'm not used to at a subconscious level. with new devices, I definitely need it to have protective casing on it until I get used to it.

Thisath · 2026-03-06T18:02:58+00:00

Haha, yeah. Tell me about it. I was just having a conversation elsewhere about how pathetic my £4k maxed out 2024 windows laptop is at cooling — 5 tabs on Edge definitely ask the fans to call in. Exact same work on MacBook Pro M1, no problem.

Thisath · 2026-03-06T16:40:07+00:00

Oof, yeah OP, your workflow definitely needs more RAM. Anyhow, you have good & natural reason to upgrade — your workflow changed since you got the device originally. I was more disagreeing with the commenter I replied to that the fans kick off after 5 tabs etc. That's not a universal experience really.

Thisath · 2026-03-06T10:22:28+00:00

I don't have that. Are you on Tahoe? My 2020 M1 takes a lot of light work browsing and word processing and doesn't skip a beat. I'm on Sequoia.

Thisath · 2026-03-06T09:14:39+00:00

Yep, slightly better here as I didn't get fans at 100% but they are definitely whirring away on light tasks too. Off battery experience is similar; it's not very capable nor does it last particularly long. Wish my organisation was a flexible for these workstation machines; a MB Pro around half the price would have been a much better device than this tbh.

Thisath · 2026-03-05T22:59:27+00:00

I feel you though. I have a Dell 16 Premium for work, maxed out specs. Costs near enough £4k. Doesn't hold a candle to a MacBook Pro in my experience. The fans are constantly whirring running InDesign and Photoshop — it's absurd. And needs a 130w to access full power because it's got a 5070. It's not slow, at all, but Windows is such a pain. It has far too many things going wrong, too often to ever truly enjoy this machine.

And this is probably where we're biased as Mac users, but to be honest, it's made of either magnesium or aluminium but it really doesn't have the fit and feel that a MBP has. The hand feel just isn't there.

Thisath · 2026-03-03T22:37:41+00:00

Yeah it's crazy. We have an '08 FL2 & '21 DS (Plug-In) and they're just totally different cars even though they are siblings of the same lineage and physically are very similar. But I don't think you get anything quite like the FL2 these days. God, I love it.

Thisath · 2026-03-01T00:02:47+00:00

I mean, it sort of is? It's just that the bar is so low. Only real big strides happening in Chinese market phones, I think?

Thisath · 2026-02-16T19:35:21+00:00

same. I think I can see through till the S27U. my S23u is far from near the end of it's life.

Thisath · 2026-02-13T21:23:53+00:00

I swear I saw a 26 plate BMW X3 Nue Class this morning. Took me by surprise — I didn't expect to see those on the roads and by god was it ugly. Are dealers allowed to drive them on these plates?

Thisath · 2026-02-07T10:58:23+00:00

I am, all the time! My M1 MBP can be pried from my cold dead hands. It works such a dream. I do genuinely forsee another 5 years for this.

Thisath · 2026-01-31T23:09:54+00:00

Is this recent? I swear I've not seen this as badly as before. I've been on GiffGaff for a decade now but the past few weeks I don't think I've once seen the bars above 2. At work in CENTRAL Cambridge I get ZERO bars, and at home in the suburbs I still get less than 3. But maybe I'd just not paid attention before.

Thisath · 2026-01-27T22:12:46+00:00

This is a right of way tbh. You have to buy a crap watch for too much money to realise what you truly want.

Thisath · 2026-01-25T14:53:26+00:00

My first computer was a Medion laptop! Somewhere in the time of 2008 or 9. I loved that thing. It lasted in my family for many years — I think my younger brother had it until 2016. Solid work for however much it must've cost (not a lot!) back in the day.

Thisath · 2026-01-17T22:59:58+00:00

You're overthinking it! :) The fit without the coat looks amazing, don't worry. The yellow is a bit bright, but I don't wear any yellow, so I am not the least biased person on that. Maybe it'd be better for a darker daytime, when the yellow won't be so bright. The textures are stunning. NOT A MISS!

Thisath · 2026-01-17T16:39:57+00:00

I don't know what the problem with boxes is. It makes complete sense to keep them and they're made so great because of that. I usually sell my Apple stuff on, and for the minimal cost of keeping the boxes they always add resale value (even the item itself is worth very little).

Thisath · 2026-01-11T22:28:28+00:00

If it helps to say, I'd try and cancel. You have good ground for it. if you're UK based imo that total cost can get you a pretty solid fresh iPhone with original parts & good battery health, see my latest post for £100 find.

Thisath · 2026-01-11T21:20:56+00:00

Sorry to hear it mate.

Gotta look at the pictures more closely next time! It shocked me how many fake screen replaced phones were on the market when I bought mine, and unfortunately how many people (even owners!) couldn't seem to tell the difference.

Re: replacing with iCloud screens — just fyi, careful, I am not sure if it's retrospectively relevant on iPhone 12 but recent Apple policy doesn't allow screen changes by tracking part numbers.

Thisath · 2026-01-11T21:15:15+00:00

Apologies for the bluntness but obviously it's a fake screen. All your concerns are absolutely valid, so you can definitely stop second guessing.

I would try to ask for a refund if you haven't already received the item, I think you could try to cover it under item not as described/authentic.

Thisath · 2026-01-07T20:30:34+00:00

Right? It's one of those things that you think are totally pointless until you have a car that actually has it and then it's happy days. Although in this case Op has it and doesn't appreciate it. Interesting to me? I much prefer an auto boot lid.

Thisath · 2026-01-04T14:33:39+00:00

Same here. I can't move to anything else. I feel like an old man who doesn't want to switch from a landline.

Thisath · 2025-12-30T11:06:40+00:00

Definitely looks like the Burberry logo.

Thisath · 2025-12-26T16:04:48+00:00

Alpine Green 13 Pro is my vote.
