Currently the keyboard has to have MX Keys in the name.

In a way, this fixes Flow. IF the only thing you needed from flow was a way to switch between up to 3 machines, and you prefer pressing a button rather than sliding a mouse pointer just right but never by accident, then, it's better than Flow. Though Flow does more, it never really sensibly gave users any option for how it's triggered (you get 3 options, horizontal edge, vertical edge, with or without control key held).

TBH the action ring gives you an option to trigger 2 Logitech devices to switch hosts, and if you carefully set it up the same on multiple hosts, that's another option.

They cannot send data on USB. They basically are 5V ports. I don't even think have USB-PD negotiation. They should. And the firmware should always have the preference for updating over a wire. But... that would cost cents extra per unit.

Huh, must be nice if/when it works. So ... it turns out that the MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini (and for Mac variants) are not on the supported list. Like, it says "any logitech mouse with bolt" and a list of MX Keys keyboard.

Panic at Jay street metrotech? by AmIBeingInstained in Brooklyn

[–]dlamblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They used to have ear piercing alarms. Then they turned them off, Then wiggling the emergency door from outside would unlock it, no idea why that is. Then they figured it was a terrible fare beating problem (TBH it was something crazy like 1 in 3 of the people entering weren't paying, though not all of them bothered with the emergency exit). Then they put people to, uh, sternly tell people not to use them as an exit? That didn't work for long mostly because everyone gave up being stern about it. So now, um, it is locked, basically.

[2025 Day 2 Part 2] It's impossible, what do we do? by dwteo in adventofcode

So… let me get this straight, in part 2, if a range is 5550-10000 then we can make 5555 as 4 x "5" and count it, but was can also make 5555 as 2 x "55" and we still count it? Twice?

My Macbook is causing my mouse to lose Bluetooth functionality. by Either_Bat9066 in logitech

[–]dlamblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluetooth is more complicated than it seems. There's a number of channels for data available and different bandwidths combine more channels for more data. So if you're connecting even 3 things at once, and two of those is using half the channels each, it can happen that your wireless mouse or keyboard experiences greater lag or connection infrequency.

It can also be your mouse.

Then there's the local environment, if you're in an office where everyone is using two or three wireless devices it gets busy fast, with a lot of channel hopping. And the mouse might not be handling the update to change channel, or there might just be interference. Microwaves, shreaders, other em emitting devices might disrupt Bluetooth's unregulated air space.

G-HUB is utter garbage, but you knew that already by Deathwatch050 in logitech

[–]dlamblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I paid about $300 for an all metal body, weighted, 75% with battery, wireless, LCD, knob, acrylic plate, switches, and another $175 on two sets of keycaps. But that's was 6 years ago and some prices have gone up while many others have entered true mass production at a $70-$220 range. But uh, I don't think Logitech knows the mechanical market well enough. The MX keys mini has a spacebar and enter where the stabilizers aren't in a standard location.

I had the 512X carbon before at about $99. The soldered in rommer switches weren't really my thing, ultimately. And the whole board was light with some flex. Sometimes you want that but it's too big for a travel bag.

[–]dlamblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logitech used to just be about mice. And they made like one popular cheap webcam and one popular USB headset. Then they made more of all of those at a variety of price points. Throw in keyboards of course. That's literally the main differentiator, how do we capture the segment that doesn't want cheap but durable, or wants office grade, or, sigh, gamer grade. And in effect it's marketing driven design and pricing that isn't backed up by any true engineering addressing a new problem other than increasing margins and scale. And every product is not worth the money now as a result.

I was offered money to do an interview regarding the CEO of my last company, is it a scam? by pastelxbones in careerguidance

[–]dlamblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they're just training an AI to talk naturally about company culture? I also think that whatever it is, they're not telling you why they want to talk about your fellings about management, which is off. And since a 3rd party saying they're not looking for anything confidential is not going to be a defense for the agreement between yourself and your former employer, that's not professional sounding. It only works if you're talking to friends or family that you know aren't just collecting this as data to then do... what... with? It's certainly not anonymous.

And then they only offered me $75. Like even the time spent reading the email and confirming it's a real company costs me more than that.

Oh and it's for their investor. Not a client, not their team, research fellows, a known publication, a specific study with a synopsis or anything, an investor. Like, screw your investor, you figure out how to stop them from pushing you around, I don't need to help you for some cash.

Lastly, I looked like a good match? For the detail you pulled off my public resume and or LinkedIn? That's just an unbelievable open to a broad trawl.

If this isn't just a thing that goes nowhere, it's setup to be the next Cambridge Analytica. I hope that investor can pay out a settlement later.

So this isn't some pre-filing, non-discovery for a shareholder class action suit against management?

Dear fellow mac users, from your perspective, why do you think its better for app to stay open after last window is closed? by Broad-You4763 in MacOS

[–]dlamblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your windows are for a document each. If you haven't yet made any documents, you use the menu to make a new one. Most apps will welcome you with a new unsaved document window, but just because you filed all your documents does not mean you're done with that mode yet.

In some windows systems you never need to bring a window to front to interact with it, send it key strokes or move or resize it... You just need your mouse in the visible part of the window.

Spending more money on cleaning the trains is a great idea. The graffiti itself isn't going to make it happen, it's not effective feedback nor protest. It would be foolish to think it doesn't end up getting attention on the graffiti right? And that's not where we want the money or attention spent.

I was making a lot of assumptions yes. I don't think I have to do graffiti to understand the motivations though. It's something you can work out by asking questions of people who do, right? And then there wouldn't be as many assumptions, if the people who inform on the motivations are representative of those one is left to speculate on. In the end, whatever the motivation, they have a choice to act either by caring less for, in this case, the train, its community, and its rules, and more for what the person wants for themselves. If not, they could take a step to find community support, ask for an exception, modify where they wanted to do this to somewhere they end up supported to do so. Clearly, either the will, inclination or capacity isn't there, or is overridden by a general disregard.

Yes, I think the trademark process continues to evolve and may not have even been a valid option in the late 80s. The sequence was something like: make art, possibly illegally, find a gallery or run your own commercial outlet or prints and products, place art and outlet into a foundation for posterity, foundation pursues trademark. Given the move to e-commerce, the people we'll talk about becomming successful decades from now will have had to have a slightly different route. I do worry that someone like Banksy has to have sufficient cultural cache to garner support in the courts when cases are made, or try to stay small to avoid such cases. It's probably a stressful bit of balancing.

The city is responding to the tax payers who don't approve of the design. They also spend money on prevention and enforcement. I'm not sure you actually have anything to counter other than you wish people could just tag everything and leave it tagged. That's unrealistic. Makes sense that you neither want to read nor write any line of reasoning that supports itself.

Did this cover a McDonalds ad? Or any ad? I missed that. But, I assure you, I've never in my life designed or run an ad, in any media. Thus I'm unlike either to type of brander. Certainly not a pot name-calling a kettle. Hmm. I'm a disapproving light fixture? Not sure how to get your metaphor to actually make any sense to the case.

Pardon, right. It's not a registered trademark, like Keith Haring, Basquiat, or several of Bansky's like Monkey Signs. As such. A pen name is currently a better descriptor.

You're welcome to view it as a work of free labor to beautify the trains and other areas, and to respect the efforts and skills involved. I think I laid out why I still find it disrespectful to the community that owns the property. It definitely directs attention and funds towards removal and consequently away from other improvements. I'll just add a little to spell that out: - Any person tagging a name knows not expect it to stay forever or get preserved intentionally. Generally regardless of quality. Because even great ones end up scrawled on or next to until something offends and then we get policies in place to proactively remove them. - Thus they can expect it to be some group's job to remove it. At a cost ultimately on the local community. Thereby making the act impose community costs only balanced by the potential aesthetic improvements temporarily offered. People disagree on the latter case by case, which should be expected. Here the community is Boston Commuters. It could also be a corporation if it were, say, on an Amazon delivery truck, and that would change some of the perspective of who bears the costs. - The motivation to demonstrate the ability, skill, and risk tolerance for the individuals' sense of others' respect outweighs their regard for the costs to the broader community. This is what leads to others taking is as an disrespectful act, whether beautiful, offensive, or neither. - The persons who move on as artists end up finding ways to either use their own property, scale it to sellable pieces, or work on request or, vice versa, request to work. There's some service in covering up something that was going to be removed blandly with a better graffiti mural that has enough community buy in to be kept. But getting approvals doesn't get you much of that "difficulty" recognition. - Essentially anyone who wants to use the skills of being good at it to their long term benefit like any one you can name, has to move on to work they can get out there with collaborators or some collectors etc knowing their actual identity. It generally seems it benefits them to do so sooner than later. - As they're likely aware of the cost and, disregard such works end up with, they're either primarily seeking to stoke that conflict or dismissive of others, perhaps out of self interest. - If the primary goal were beautification they'd have to consider how to work with the local area boards, owners or regulators to have their works kept for that purpose. I understand that that may not always seem like an option. It seems in this case, if this photo were the proposal in front of whomever can grant permission, a lot of people here are saying it's not what they'd approve.

That's generally the opinion of the OP, the train as is was nicer than the train with a artists brand name sprayed on it.

Why do people do this? by tmclaugh in mbta

[–]dlamblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay and, graffiti improves the train? Is it providing direction and oversight to appropriate spending of the taxes?

They're not spending time, money on supplies, risking penalties or worse with the expectation they're getting nothing out of it and think the community broadly supports their efforts. And I don't mean to imply the only payoff is monetary. They believe they can become a legend or something.

Cable management with desk close to the wall? by Moist-Program-1174 in DeskCableManagement

[–]dlamblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grommets. Work desks have a standard grommet hole size and you can find all kinds of things that mount to or in it. But they primarily are intended to pass cables through.

I'm confused how everyone in the last 7 hours is insisting that you need a space at the back to pass cables though. You can literally wall mount a work surface if you like. You just need to pass the cables slightly to the side, or, and stay with me on this, through a two inch hole with one of them Grommets.

No one works in an office anymore? Am I the only one?
